HARWlCK is ASKED TO
PUSH RATE AMENDMENT
BY RALPH SMITH.

e WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Congressman
Hardwick has been requested by Chair
man Mann, of the interstate commerce
committee. of the house to appear before
the committee next Thursday in advocacy
of the proposed amendment to the rate
law giving the interstate commerce COM
mission authority to initiate rates of it's
own motion.
Mr. Hardwick is not a member of the
committee, but Chairman Mann desires
that he attend the hearing to combat the
railroad counsel who will be present. Mr..
Hardwick is credited with being the orig
inator in the house of representatives
of the proposition to confer on the COM
mission the right to initiate rates of its
own accord. He proposed an amendment
embodYing this principal when the Hep
burn law was passed, and he has been
urging its adoption ever since.
President Taft In his message, recon-
mends an amendment similar to the one
first suggested by Mr.. Hardwick, and the
Republicans on the committe now pro-
pose to enact such a law at this session.
Chairman Msnns invitation to Mr.. Hard
wick to appear in advocacy of the
amendment before the committee is a rec
ognition of his right to the credit of
originally proposing such a law.
Mr.. Hardwick appeared this morning
before the committee to urge his amend
ment and II was after he had answered
satisfactorily the criticisms advanced by
committeeman that the chairman request
ed that he appear at the public hearing
next Thursday to combat the galaxy of
railroad talent that will be present

NO CHANCE FOR MORSE,
DISTRICT ATTORNEY Says

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-Charles W.
Morse has not a chance of getting out OF
the federal prison at Atlanta, where he
is serving a 15-year sentence for violation
of the national banking laws. on the plea
that there was a special accountant in
the grand jury room when the indictment
was being prepared. So says United States
District Attorney Wise.
F.. Augustus Heinze's lawyers argued
Monday that the indictments against him
were invalid because John T. Fornsler.
am accountant, and ian unauthorized third
party was i'm the room assisting in lay
ing the evidence before the jurors. This
set counsel for Morse to thinking and
brought forth reports that his release
would be sought with this as the basis
of the plea.
In his announcement last night, howev-
er. the district attorney said:
There was no accountant present in
the grand jury room while the indictment
against Morse was being drawn. This set
tied the argument but still leaves the
case Of John r. Walsh open to legal de-
bate. 1t is said that an accountant was
present while he was being indicted"

CONNECT RIVER WITH
ST. ANDREWS BY CANAL
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-Congressmen
Adamson, of Georgia, and Clayton. of
Alabama, made exhaustive arguments
before the rivers and harbors committee
this morning in favor of an approprfa-
ton to connect the Chattahooehee system
of rivers with st. Andrews bay by means
OF a canal
The project has been surveyed and ia
vorably reported by government engt-
neers. The survey was obtained by the
joint efforts Of Representatives Adamson
and Clayton. 1t is estimated that the
canal can be constructed for 100000 and
it is regarded as highly probable that
congress will make provision for 1t in
the next rivers and harbors bills.
The city of Columbus is particularly
interested in the canal.
Judge Adamson also addressed the COM
mittee with reference to deepening the
channel of the Chattahoochee proper
