Committee Proposes Amend.
ment to Railroad Merger
Law. 80 as to Eliminate
Absorption Of Competitors.

"o'hihteohf mdltu by NOtt
Of 10 to l, the house committee on
Interstate commerce affairs STRUCK
from the bill provisions relative to
the control OF railroads by compel.
ing lines. One of the provisions
would have allowed railroads, which
own over fifty per cent OF the stock
OF a competing line to purchase the
remainder OF the stock and would
have legalized all past purchases OF
stock.
Elkins Bill Reported.
Defending and explaining the El-
kins railroad bill, as reported by the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce. a majority OF the committee
filed their report in the senate today.
Nearly one-third OF the report is de-
voted 10 the commerce court propos-
ed In the bill. The defense Is main
ly directed to some OF the charges
made In the Cummins-Clapp minority
report presented last week
Postal Savings Bank.
Washington. March THE postal
savings bank bill was received by
the house today and promptly sent
to several weeks oblivion In the
committee. while the administration
railroad bill takes the center OF the
senate stage and the house drones
on with the appropriation bills to
the accompaniment of political
speeches made under the cloak of
general debate.
Dreary- discussions will probably
be the order OF business for the next
few days. or until congress has
warned up to another OF the admin
istration policies.
Before the railroad bill. which
creates a court OF commerce. besides
amending the interstate commerce
laws In other ways. is taken up IN
earnest. Il Is likely that the agricul-
tural appropriation bill viii be put
through the senate. This will not
take long. however. and the consid-
Grafton OF another OF the Taft poll
cies soon will be In full swing.
Members OF the house are begin
ming to analyze the amendments put
on the postal savings bank bill Sat
nrday In the last few hours Of its
consideration. The one that is caus-
ing the most comment Is that OF Sen
ator Borah which will prevent postal
funds from being invested In two
per cent government bonds. while
making all higher interest bearing
securities available for such invest
ment in time of war or other exig-
ency.
The postal savings bank bill as
passed by senate provides for:
Board of trustees of postal saw
ings bank. secretary OF the treasury,
the postmaster-general and attorney
general.
Every postoffice that issues money
orders and such others as the post
master general may designate will
be savings banks.

As the result of the exercise of
pastoral authority in the First Bap-
tist church, the Rev. NJ. e. Dodd was
attacked at Sixth and Jefferson
streets yesterday morning by Charles
Graham, the well known tobacco
man, and besides being Knocked
down and receiving bruises on the
face, DR.. Dodd sustained bruise
on his left side. The encounter
took place just at Sunday School
time. DIR. Dodd, who was taken by
surprise and had books under his
arm, offered no resistance. He re-
turned home and removed such
marks of the encounter as he could
and filed his pulpit In the morning.
He collapsed afterward, however,
and an examination revealed the
" -
The trouble dates back to a revival
a few weeks ago, when a choir was
formed for the purpose of furnishing
music for the meetings. Mrs
Charles Graham, whose first husband.
from whom she secured a divorce, Is
living, volunteered to sing In the
choir DIR. Dodd declined 10. permit
it.
Dr. Dodd's purpose was to protect
his church from any possible accusa-
tion of sanctioning divorces, by per-
ad ivorced person to occupy
so conspicuous a position. He had no
intention, he said, to supercede civil
with ecclesiastical. or to re-
fect on the particular case of Mrs.
Graham; but In view of the position
churches are taking generally in the
effort to discourage promiscuous di-
vorce, he realized that the public
foes not always discriminate. and in
The discretion vested in him, he
thought 1t advisable not to subject
either the lady or the church to the
criticism of people in the congrega-
ton. He made no public parade OF
his action in the matter: but Mr..
Graham unfortunately construed DIR.
Dodd's action into a reflection on his
wife and his family, and SO constru-
ing it, deemed 1t his duty to defend
his family name and seek redress
against the supposed defamer.
Mr.. Graham's only comment on the
occurrence was that DR.. Dodd had
slandered his wife and family and he
resented 1t. ..
DIR. Dodd explained his motives to
4 reported for The Evening Sun. He
said that he gave no reason for his
action at the time, but repeated
notes. asking an explanation, and
,all from a mutual friend finally in
iuced him to explain his ac-
ton. When the two men met at
Sixth and Jefferson streets yester-
day morning. Mr.. Graham said: "Is
this DR.. Dodd?"
When assured that II was. he re-
piled: You're just the man | am
looking for"
He then charged DR.. Dodd with
his wife and family and
struck the minister several times in
the face. DR.. Dodd fell. and said he
was struck after he was down. Sew
eral men from the garage across the
street ran to the minister's assist
ance.
Mr.. Graham surrendered 10 Mag
istrate Charles Emery and gave bond
for his appearance next Thursday
