Nv TAsHINGTON, June IA The
M conference report of the ad-
ministration railroad bill was
presented to the senate at 1:3O o'clock
TODAY by Chairman Elkins of the COM
mittee on interstate commerce. 1t was
:,isid before the house later, but under
d. the rules can not be acted upon until
. disposed Of by the senate.
The report went over until tomorrow,
when an effort VIII be made to secure
its adoption. The two democratic con-
1erees did not sign the report and Sen
-stor Newlands gave notice that he
would present a minority report
:: . So far as has been indicated. the
.cRly objection to the report that may
be raised in the senate refers to the
~l1euse provision on long and short
bauls. Some western senators favored
the retention Of the senate provision
because the amendment might be de-

, clared UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Competition by Water


charging a higher rate for short than
for a long distance was added the fol-
lowing:
g Whenever q carrier by railroad shall
an' competition with a water route or
ROUTES reduce the rates on the carriage
Of any species. Of freight to or from
I competitive points, it shall not be per-
snitted to increase such rates unless
after hearing by the interstate com,
paerce commission it shah be found that
such proposed increase rests upon
. changed conditions other than the
elimination OF water competition"
Suspension of Tariffs
In retaining the 4nate provisions au-
thorizing the suspension Of an increased
. rate for 10 months and putting the bur-
!: den Of proof upon the railroad as to the
reasonableness Of such increase the
.ocnferees added a provisions:
= The commission shall give to the
hearing and decision of such question
preference over all other questions
3. pending before it and decide the same
az speedily as possible"
. !. As perfected by the conferees the
bin carries most Of the features Of
the original administration measure,
except the sections to permit rail-
roads TO make pooling agreements, to
authorize the government to regulate
the issuance OF stocks and bonds and
10 permit railroad to purchase the
remaining stock OF another road in
which it already controls so per cent
Of the stock. So much opposition de-
veloped in both house against these
provisions that all except the securities
p section were abandoned outright The
house bill retained the section provid-
ing for federal regulation of securities
Investigation of Stocks
D. In place Of the house provision the
.conferees incorporated a clause au-
thorizing the president to appoint a
commission TO investigate the issue Of
railway stocks and bonds. fExpendi-
lures by the commission were limited
TO $4,000 and il was not given au-
thority to summon witnesses or COM
;; pei the production OF books and papers

and thereafter by the chief justice of
the supreme court This court will
have jurisdiction over all suits brought
70 enforce OF set aside orders of the
Interstate commerce commission.
Both the house and senate provided
that the new law shall take effect so
days after passage. The conferees,
however. inserted a provision that sec
ton y. including the right Of the COM
mission to suspend proposed rate in
. creases, and section l6, which author
ICES the commission to appoint a COM
mittee to study stocks and bonds. shall
take effect Immediately.

Would Set Aside Deeds

On the face of things and according
to the will of Packer, the estate at
his death was appraised at but s507.
Nevertheless, the eastern expectants
have hopes that they may be able to
set aside some of the deeds by which
Packer, previous to his death, trans
ferred the bulk of his property to AL
bert Packer, a nephew, and Edward NJ,
Gordon, a young man who was reared
by the elder Packers
This is the second contest for the
large fortune, the former having been
brought by S. NJ. Packer of Pasadena,
who entered a contest of the will and
asked that number of the deeds be
set aside. This suit was subsequently
dropped. 1t is rumored that the Pasa
dena relative did not consider the time
yet ripe to prosecute his claim, and
can and will renew the contest within
a year from the date he retired from
the lists
George F. Packer died last fall at
the age of IS or SO years, his wife hav-
ing preceded him to the grave by about
year and a half, she dying intestate.
and the husband, after the death of his
wife. transferring the larger part of
his property to the nephew and adopted
boy.
Packer came to California in the
early fifties, leaving his wife in west
ern Pennsylvania.
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-15
Wife Had Money

She followed her husband in 1856 or
1857 and brought with her. according
to the claims of the eastern claim
ants, money which they aver was in
vested in community property, making
for the couple the nucleus of their
large fortune. To portion of this
her relatives lay claim.
The fasteners, through Mcpherson.
are represented in their claims by At
torneys George w. Averill of San Fran
cisco and u. w. Brown of Colusa. In
a long statement filed with the claim
for the 100000, Mcpherson recites the
vicissitudes of his uncle on first reach
ing California, maintaining that it was
recited to him while on visit several
years ago. In this statement he quotes
Packer as saying: your aunt Hannah
was grand woman and helped me
very much in making our fortune.
"As you are the only nephew that
ever came to see us. want you to see
that our lot In the cemetery is taken
care of, and as we hold mortgage
on the Clarion ranch for 100000. at
my death this sum shall be paid to
you in gold coin"
Depends on Statement
1t is on the foregoing clause of the
statement that Mcpherson hopes to be
able to set aside the deeds by which
the present holders claim the valuable
properties. The contention will prob
ably be made that the old man was of
unsound mind when the transfers were
made and that he was unduly infiu-
enced by these now in possession

WE WONDER HOWL

The Ontario Argus Of last week IN
an article regarding the extension of
the Payette Valley Railroad from Ne
Plymouth to Emmett states that the.
building OF that extension win make
the upper portion Of the valley trib-
utary to Ontario and that a great
many people who now go 10 Emmett
to trade will undoubtedly come TO
Ontario TO do their trading. AS the
Payette Valley Railroad starts from
Payette and IN It's survey from Ne"
Plymouth to Emmett does not cross
tho Snake river TO the oregon sioe
and as General Manager Dunn has
aa vet not stated that he VIII cross
the Snake river at some point CON
yenient for tho Ontario boosters we
are at loss to figure out just no"
the people Of the upper valley are
going to make headquarters In in
tarlo. We are dead sure the Pay
cite Valley road at present runs from
New Plymouth direct 10 Payette
whore It terminates. The only way
we can figure out what Brother
Balm means by such statements Is
that he naturally preSumes Payette
viii grow to such an extent that
Ontario viii inside a very few months
be- nothing more nor less than
suburb. That being the case Ontario
might be said. II one used a broad
term to be the terminal OF the Pay
elite Valley Railroad We are quite
willing the Ontario boosters should
build their paper railroads, secure
their division stations etc. but
when Il comes to crossing the Snake
river and taking the Poyette Valley
railroad bodily out OF the valley and
make statements to which there are
absolutely no foundations. we feel
like we had good sized yoll com
ing.

booked through the northwest for
several years. .Cort has accepted the
Independent bookings for 1901. and

thus tying the city uR to pay for five
years a price for lighting which
might be secured much cheaper with
