AFTER OPERATION.

New York, June Civilian Sidney
Porter, known best under his pen
name OF 20, Henry" as the writer OF

operation last Friday and never raj
lied. The nature Of his ailment was
not made known.
Mrs. Porter, who had been in South
Carolina, was summoned by telegraph,
but did not arrive here until after her
husbands death.
Had a Varied Career.
Mr.. Porter was born In Greensboro,
N. c., forty-six years ago and began
his journalistic career on the Houston
Post. Before that he had been cow
boy, sheep herder and druggist and
an extensive traveller.
The general public knew little Of
his private life, for he Stunned inter-
viewers and was content to be known
merely through his writings as 20,

Was Adverse to Publicity.
His breezy paragraphs penned In
Texas first drew attention to the
young writer several years ago, then
he launched forth with Sunday
Stories" for New York paper and
was quickly recognized as a writer of
ability.
Magazine stories followed and his
fame was assured. 1t was only two
years ago, however, that any but his
closest friends knew his real name.
Then he reluctantly consented to have
his photograph printed, with brief
biographical sketch.
Wanderings Influenced Work.
Porter's wanderings Influenced his

A HURRY CALL
FOR ADSENTEES
IN THE HOUSE
CONTEST EXPECTED TOMORROW
OVER QUESTION OF CONCUR
ING IN OR SENDING RAILROAD
BILL TO CONFERENCE.

Washington, June 6.-Hurry calls
went out today for all absent mem
bers of the house to come back post
haste prepared for contest tomorrow
over the question of whether the house
shall concur in the senate amendments
to the administration railroad bill or
send the measure to conference. No
one was willing today to prophesy
what disposition would be made Of the
bill.
Chairman Mann of the interstate
and foreign commerce commission
will insist upon the bill going to con-
ference. 1t is expected he will be
backed by majority of the Republi-
cans. The Democrats have not yet
decided as to their course.
The house bill authorizing the dis
posal of the surface of coal lands for
agricultural pursuits passed the SEN
ate today. The measure requires only
the signature Of the president to make
it law.
Taft's View Given.
Senators and representatives who
talked with President Taft today con-
cerning the railroad bill passed by the
senate Friday night reported to the
capitol that, all things being equal,
Taft favored conference on the
measure. On the other hand, If 1t de-
veloped that thes sentiment In the
house is so strong the majority favors
the acceptance of the senate bill out.
right, Taft will not be at all dis
pleased.
Presidential Nominations.
The following presidential nomina-
tions have been made:
Col. William H. Bixby Of the corps
of engineers to be chief Of engineers
denomination of 'Brig.-Gen. Clarence
R. Edwards as chief Of the bureau of
insular affairs.
For assistant secretary OF the treas
ury, A. Piatt Andrew of Massachu-
setts.
] Geo. J. Kispert, postmaster at JEFF
ferson, Wis.
BY vote Of 40 to "a the senate to-
day made the administration land
withdrawal bill the order of business.
KendaIPs Eight Hour Bill.
Representative Kendall stirred up
a big fight in the house when ne in
troduced an amendment to the sundry
civil bill to the effect that no money
should be expended by the government
except where the eight hour rule was
observed. The amendment would
compel the eight hour rule to be OBJ
served as to all government contracts
or articles made for the government.
Chairman Mann held it out of order
when the point was raised by Tawney.
Representative Kendall appealed
from the decision Of the chair and a
long debate followed.
The appeal from the decision Of the
chair was defeated and the chairs rul-
ing sustained that the amendment was
out Of order.
Mr.. Kendall moved another amend
ment to have the eight hour law apply
only to the appropriation carried in
the sundry civil bill. This was also
ruled out of order by Chairman Mann
Mr.. Kendall believes that his efforts
will force the eight hour bill out Of
the committee on labor, in which 1t is
now bottled up.

Plans for Iowa's Rail Fight.
Des' Moines, June Con complaint
of the Greater Des Moines committee
the state board of railroad commits
sioners has authorized the attorney
general to begin an action before the
interstate commerce commission at
tacking freight tariff No. SO, the new
tariff Of increased freight rates which
took effect in Iowa on June l. The
complaint is against the Rock Island
Wabash, Burlington, Milwaukee and
Great Western railroads.
An action in the federal court to re
strain the roads from continuing in
force the increased rates may also be
started by the state, although no line
of action has yet been decided upon
Charles Lyon, assistant to the attorney
general, said that such suit might be
begun, inasmuch as the government
permitted these rates to take effect
and enjoined the Missouri river rates.
Immediate relief could be secured
by starting an action in the federal
court, while the shippers must pay the
increased rates during the time a
complaint is pending before the inter-
state commerce commission" Mr..
Lyon said "We could ask an in
junction in the courts, which, If grant
ed, would restrain the roads from
charging the high rates while the case
was pending. Such could not be ac-
complished before the commission"
May Try New Tack.
Whether the state has the right to
bring such an action in the federal
courts has not yet been determined.
In case it could and an Injunction was
issued the state would have to put up
bond covering any loss to the rail-
roads during the trial Of the action.
E. G. Wylie, freight commissioner of
the Greater Des Moines committee,
said it would require at least eight
months to secure decision from the
interstate commerce commission.
Meanwhile the Iowa shippers would
have to pay the increased rates which
he says, will amount to something
like $25,00O,00O a year.
