charged the West Virginia senator
with having neglected to give attention
tot the provision of the bill authorizing
any railroad company to acquire the
line of another company in which 1t
may own 81 per cent of the stock.
He said that the law would have the
effect of multiplying the Sherman anti
trust law as construed by the supreme
court and to, legalize all existing own
erships of one road by competing
line This he asserted was the real
purpose of the measure and he added
it was his conviction the railroads
would be willing to surrender much in
order to get this concession. Mr.. Ell
kins would not concede the soundness
of Mr. Bacons argument.
He did not believe the law contem-
plated the sanction of any proceeding
that might be illegal under existing
law.
Either this bill does what the SEN
ator from Georgia charges" said Mr..
Bailey commenting on the colloquy,
or it does nothing at ALL"
1t was true, he said; there was moth
ing in the bill explicitly legalizing the
purchase of the first so per cent of
stock. but he urged that to make law
full the second purchase would have
inevitably the effect of validating the
first step.

Teachers to
Hold Meeting
In pendIefOn

Preparations for the meeting of the
Inland Empire Teachers association
to be held in Pendleton Wednesday,
Thursday, and Friday of this week
have now been completed, and the
gathering promises to be the most i'm
portant as we'll as the largest teach
erS institute to be held in the north
west this year. A full attendance is
expected from all the teachers and ed
ucators of the Inland Empire, and some
of the foremost educators in the Unit
ed States will be on the program
Superintendent o. S. Jones, of the
city schools, left for Pendleton today
to participate in the work of the in
stitute. Mr. Jones has been asked by
the program committee to represent
the teachers of this state in a response
of welcome at the reception this even
ing and tomorrow will address the as
sec il. n. :, on CITY Supervision, How
to Make it Efficient
H. C. Sampson of Cheney Normal is
president of the association and n
F. Coleman of Whitman College is
secretary. Among the well known ed
ucators of the country who will APP
pear on the program are: William L.
Bryan, president of the state univer-
Of In io TAp q ford obi
of the Rocky Mountain Educator, of
Denver, Prof. Robert Clark, president
of the University of Montana, E. o.
Sissons, Washington State University
and DR.. S. B. l.. sPenrose of Whitman
College.
Special rates of one and third
have been obtained from the railroad
companies for this meeting and large
number of teachers will avail them
selves of the opportunity Of being pre-
sent during the meetings of the asso-
ciation The institute is especially
valuable for the young teachers, as
the many problems of school work will
be dealt with by authorities on the
subject.
The public schools of the city will
be closed during the institute thus en-
abling all teachers to be present.
The association being divided into
sections. such as primary section,
school section, etc, each of which viii
deal entirely with the problems Of
their particular line of work, has pre-
pared a more thorough program than
has ever been heretofore attempted,
and the institute will undoubtedly be
of more benefit to the teachers and
schools of this section than anyone
realizes.

Railroad Bill

WASHINGTON, Mar. z1.-Speaking
in support of the administration rail-
road bill, Senator Elkins, chairman of
the interstate commerce committee,
declared today that the shippers are
finding fault with the bill and that eX-
cept in one or two instances, the rail-
roads did not appear before the COM
mittee to oppose it.
Preliminary to his explanation of
the provisions of the bill, Senator Ell
kins admitted the truth of the charge
that amendments proposed were not
considered at length in the committee
on interstate commerce, and he de-
Tended this course on the ground that
the differences over the amendments
were so great that they would have to
be fought out on the floor anyway.
Answering statements by Senator
Cummins, Mr.. Elkins said it was given
out that the railroad bill was before
the committee for consideration. He
said that shippers and traffic associa-
tions had consulted with the president
and the attorney general who drafted
the bill and they favored the presi-
dents recommendations. On the sub
ject of whether the railroads them
selves are for or against the bill, Mr..
ElkinS said:
President Stands Pat
According to common report, six or
seven presidents of the most .impor-
tant railroads waited on the president
at the White House and endeavored to
induce MIN to consent to certain
changes, but he refused to do so. so
far as / know and can hear, the rail-
roads oppose the bill"
Mr.. Elkins then reviewed the bill
section by section.
Notwithstanding a request by Mr. Ell
kins that he should not be interrupted
during his speech, several senators
broke in on him for the purpose of
asking questions or requesting fur
tner elaboration of certain points.
In the course of a cOlloquy, Mr.
Cummins admitted the attorney gem
eral had made a change in the through
rate provision Of his draft of the bill
at Cummins suggestion, and. he ad-
ded. lit is wise provision"
Il admit it," responded Mr. Elkins.
And" said Mr.. Cummins, eff you
would take all of my suggestions it
would be better"
If we should take all of your sug-
gestions." retorted Mr.. Elkins. Il don't
know what would become of the coun-
try. We certainly would not run the
railroads"

Waiting Attitude
Causes Dizziness

NEW YORK, March 21.-The ex-
cessive dizziness into which the deal
ings in stocks fell today was ascribed
to a waiting attitude 8on the part of
the large operative forces. Various
factors were assigned as the ground
for this attitude, but it was notable
that the clearing up of some of them
in the course of the day had little or
no effect in enlivening the specula-
ton. The adjournment of the SUI
preme court over the spring holiday
disposed of one of these factors. Last
week predictions were offered that the
supreme court decision in the Amerl-
can Tobacco case would be handed
down today and would be in favor Of
the company The failure of vertical
ton of these rumors today seemed to
throw the market into state almost
of suspended animation The appre-
hension has been growing that the
money market may be subjected to a
squeeze in connection with the April
/ settlements.
Requirements at that time are nor
smally large and there are special de-
mands at the coming settlement. The
London stock market settlement hap
pens to fall on the same date and
the furious speculation that has been
going on in rubber and oil shares
makes very large account 10 meet.
The falling in of a British war loan
complexities the London position.
The rising rates for money were
accompanied today by sharp ad-
vance in foreign exchange in con-
sOnance with the hardening of dis
counts in the London market. Bank
ers still discuss the likelihood Of an
outgo of gold in April from New
York
The subscriptions to the New York
City bond issue of $50,000,00O in IA
per cents were awaited with absorb
inc interest throughout the financial
district For some reason eXtraordl-
nary means were taken to arouse in
terest in it and to further its sue
cess. 1t was felt that a striking sue
cess for the offering would give a
marked impetus to the whole invest
ment demand, while on the other hand
d low price might prejudice the
chances of other financing. The large
number of proposals had a cheering
effect and helped to the firm tone
maintained in the excessive dullness
of the later stock market.

convertible issues, for which the cor
responding issues of stocks were

NEW YORK, March 22.-That Tim

Fruit Men Want
X Good Exhibit

Marked enthusiasm was shown at
afternoon, called for the purpose IF
arranging for the Walla Walla exhibit
at the 1910 National Apple show. which
is to be he d in Spokane about the
middle of November. The question
of sending the district to Chicago for
one weeks exhibition met with the
hearty approval of fruit men. and it
is probable the directors of the Com
mercial club will this afternoon make
the necessary appropriation to defra.
the expenses of such a move Rem. H
Rice, secretary of the Spokane Ne
tional Apple show, outlined his plans
before the horticulturists this after
noon, dwelling at length upon the
tionS.
According to intentions, the leading
fruit districts of the northwest are to
be asked to cooperate in the move
ment to place western fruit on dis
play in the Windy City, an option
having been secured ON the First
Regiment Armory. on Eighteenth
street. This option expires April
first and Mr. Rice desires al COM
munities to give him notice of inten-
ton in order that the lease may be
secured. Space in the building will be
rented at $125 square foot. The
exhibit spaces are II feet deep, and
with this valley taking a 30-foot space
the cost would be $500 The Chicago
exhibit is to be shown during the first
week in December.
Mr.. Rice said today the manage
ment Of the Apple show could see all
but $4,000 of the amount required to
make the exhibit in Chicago but he
felt confident that the various dis
trfcts would be willing to pay for the
privilege of making a display. The
prize winners from the Spokane show,
irrespective of where they come from.
are to be sent to the Windy City free
of charge, but the district exhibits are
to be transferred and shown at the
expense of the communities.
A number of fruit raising sections
of this state have already signified
their intention of taking space in the
Chicago Armory. and it is expected
the directors of the Commercial club

the matter on behal. of this section.

doors. This year we must improve over
the results accomplished last year, IN
order to keep this movement on the
advance. 1t is with this idea in view
that the management of the show has
decided to send the cream of the ex-
hibit to Chicago for an exhibition of
one week.
1.-The National Apple show has two
great objects. The first serves great
est in the education of the fruit grow
err, while the exploitation of the north
west is secondary. Newspapers, maya
zines and trade journals every year
giveFhe show column after column, de-
scriptive of the wonderful fruit display.
This year the show will be on greater
scale than formerly with a greater va
riety of prizes. 1t is planned to send
an exhibit OF eight or ten cars to Chi
cago for an exhibition continuing for
one week. Ut will be something that
Chicago has never before seen. They
have their land shows, auto shows, dog
shows, and poultry shows, but never
before has an apple show been planned
for Chicago.
There are fourteen million people in
Chicago and adjacent territory who
visit the city acknowledgements who
can't come to the northwest to see
what we have here. Therefore, it is
the plan of the management of the
Spokane National Apple show to take
the apple exhibit to them. While in
Spokane the exhibit is inspected by
Chicago it will be viewed
