Work of Day in Congress

Washington, Jan. FOLLOWING is a
summary of the proceedings of the two
houses of congress yesterday, taken
from the official records:
SENATE The senate was deeply
stirred by the reading of a letter from
Chief Forester PinchOt to Senator Dol
liver warmly defending l. r. CLAWS
and Mr.. Price and Mr.. Shaw. the miTrOr
officials connected with the Alaska coal
land cases, and upholding the criti-
cisms of Secretary Ballinger. Mr.. Pin

President Taft himself had acted under
a misapprehensiOn. The presidents 5
message transmitting Attorney Cen

Especial Correspondence of The Argus-)
Washington, Jan. 5.-.Although
some of the republican leaders rea-
lize that the Humphrey ship subsidy
bill is almost as offensive to the
people as was the Payne-Aldrich. tar
iff bill before its passage, the meas
ure which will open the pork bar
rel'' to private shipowners is to be
jammed through congress regardless
of consequences.
The railroads, the tariff trusts and
all the other special interests that
are represented in congress have add
ed their o. X to subsidy legislation.
With President Taft using every
source of leverage at his command
to secure votes for the measure, the
only hope for its defeat lies in a
coalition of democrats and insur-
gents.
Is Class Legislation.
When it is considered that ship
is popularly viewed as class
legislation of the most vicious kind,

by such representative commercial

would seem that in forcing such
law upon the people the republican
leaders are absolutely Indifferent

that, or else hope for republican sue

IL this is done, il will mean that the
first important legislation to pass at
this session was a measure that will
benefit only few already rich men.
1t will mean that congress deliber-
ately turned its back upon legisIa-
tion desired by the people to first
serve the special interest And as
if to make more evident their con-
tempt for public sentiment, the re-
publican leaders have given the
country TO understand that while
ship subsidy bill is TO be passed, no
attention is TO be paid at this session
to postal banks or statehood for Ar
izona and New Mexico, which. it will
be recalled, were promised in the re-

Chicago. Jan. THE 50 hog arrived
today at the stock yards here and its
coming marked an epoch in high prices
for hogs With the exception of a
short period in 1882, when swine sold
at S9.35, the 50 hog has not been here
since the civil war. Cold weather and
short supplies caused the ~ lnce.
In the later market in Chicago the
highest market prices for hogs were
$9.05 to $9.1O. At Pittsburg 1920 was
the figure.

Cause of Disastrous Blaze.
Athens, Jan. THE royal palace at
Tatoi caught fire at 10 o'clock last ev-
ening while the royal family were
gathered around Christmas tree. The
flames spread rapidly, rising to great
height, and soon the right wing OF
the palace was destroyed.
The fire is believed to have been due
to illuminations on the tree, and the
efforts of the attendants in the palace
to extinguish the flames were fruit
less. The royal family made a hasty
escape, and so far as is known no one
was injured.
The fire is not yet under control and
the whole summer palace may be de-
stroyed.

commission; and 1T was pointed out
that if the contention of the carriers
in this latter respect alone were sus-
tanned, but little progress had been
made in the Hepburn act toward the
effective regulation of interstate
transportation charges. In II Of the
cases referred to, it was stated, pre-
liminary injunctions were prayed for,
being granted in six and refused in
six.
Only One Decided.
''In its report for the year 1909
the commission shows that of the IT
cases referred to in it's 1908 report,
only one had been decided in the su-
preme court of the United States, al
though five other cases had been
argued and submitted to that tri-
bunal in October, 1909.
"Of course, very carrier affected
by an order of the commission has
a constitutional right to appeal to a
federal court to protect it from the
enforcement of an order which 1t may
show to be prima facie confiscatory
or unjustly discriminatory in its ef-
feet; and as this application may be
made to a court in any district of
the United States, not only does de-
lay result in the enforcement of the
order, but great uncertainty is caus-
ed by contrariety of decision
Too OFTEN Technical.
The questions presented by these
applications are too often technical
in their character and require a
of the business and the
mastery of a great volume of con-
f1icting evidence which is tedious to
examine and troublesome to compre- /
hend 1t would not be proper to at
tempt to deprive any corporation of
the right to the review by a court /
of any order or decree which, if un-
disturbed, would rob it of a reason !

would subject it to burdens which !
would uniustly discriminate against /
it and in favor of other carriers sim /
ilarly situated. What is. however, of
supreme Importance is that the
decision of such questions shall be as .
speedy as the nature of the circum-
stances will admit, and that uniform
ity of decision be secured so as to
bring about an effective, systematic (
and scientific enforcement of the COM /
merce law, rather than conflicting de- /
cisions and uncertainty of final result. /

Forester Pinchot was to be the chief
with his advisers.
Pinchot's letter to Senator Dolliver,
read in the senate yesterday, which
constitutes a direct violation OF the
executive order forbidding subordi-
mates from furnishing information to
congress except through the head OF
the department, was before the cab
met.
Seen by COnEressmen.
A number of congressman discussed
the incident with the president prior
to the cabinet session The impres-
sion was the matter might be disposed
of at this time by the president sus-
pending Pinchot Price and Shaw,
pending the decision Of the congress
sional committee about TO investigate
the BaIlinger-Pinchot controversy.
Among some callers. however there
was the idea the president would dis
