SENATE DEBATES METHODS
Necessary to Change the Procedure
in Both Houses.
LODGE APPROVES OF PLAN
Thinks Way Should Be Found to
Change Schedules Without Gen.
eral Tariff Overhauling.

Contending that the present tariff law
imposes excessive duties and that the
country at large demands its amendment.
Senator Cummins of Iowa today deliv-
cred speech in the Senate in advocacy
of his resolution limiting the power OF
amendment of bills dealing with the sepa-
rate schedules of the law.
The speech was the first attack of the
session on the Payne-Aldrich law, and it
received careful attention. The Iowa
senator disavowed any intention of open
ing up a general tariff discussion. Still,
he found it difficult to avoid general ex-
preston on tariff questions

Country Expects Changes.

consider excessive and inexcusable many
of the duties levied by the law of 1909.
know also that many people believe that
the law should be amended. During the
recent political struggle l did not hear a
single utterance by a republican that did
not admit that the law contains duties
that ought to be changed and that it is
the duty of Congress to act speedily"
Declaring then tnat under existing par
liamentary usage in the House and Sen
ate the amendment of a tariff law is out
of the question, he contended that the
first step to be taken was the modl-
fcatiOn of the rules so as to render it
possible to amend an individual provision
of the tariff law without taking up the
entire tariff question.
The real ISSUE" he said. lis whether
we shall SO amend our rules as to per-
NIT the amendment of the law, schedule
by schedule.

Her Opportunity, Says johnson.

He declared that Mrs. Glover knew that
there was a girl with Glover in the laun--
dry: that she knew she could shoot him
without getting herself into trouble, and
that she did shoot him.
You noticed" said Mr.. Johnson, "that t
the district attorney did not bring Mrs.
Glover before the witnesses who testified
that they saw woman coming out of
the alley. Why? He did not even bring
her before Coffey, the clerk who sold the
revolver.
"Why? The government did not dare
show Mrs Glover to these witnesses.
Hattie" continued her counsel, told
the story I'm the police station that Mrs.
Glover had contrived for her. She was
bound and linked to Mrs. Glover in such
way that Mrs. Glover's master mind
controlled her. She was obedient to Mrs.
Gloyers every whim.'

Aldrich Agrees to Program.

Mr.. Cummins had not proceeded far un-
til he was compelled to submit to inter-
ruptions. Senator's Aldrich, Hale, Lodge
and Carter participated in the debate.
Mr.. Aldrich afforded the Iowa senator
much qualification by expressing con-
currence with the latter.
Il Think said the Rhode Island men,
Der, that we are all agreed that 1t is
desirable to take up the tariff by sub
jects, not by schedules
He expressed doubt. however, as to the
adequacy of the Cummins amendment to
accomplish this result, contending that
the adoption of the resolution would have
the effect Of curtailing the constitutional
power of the House to originate tariff
legislation. Mr. Bacon also contended
for the right of each house to formulate

ROADS HABIT WITH REVENUE
Dispute Between Witnesses of Rock
Island and the State.
STATE AND INTERSTATE BUSINESS
l.. Il. wettIing Produces Figures to
show Unfairness in AttributinE
Earnings from Former
10 Latter.
STATE AND INTERSTATE BUSINESS
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Feb. 1s.-(SpeciaL)-The attor-
ney general today has been introducing
testimony in the Rock Island, case in an
effort to dscredit the way in which the
railroads apportion their revenue and their
expenses between state and interstate busi-
ness
At the present time the Rock Island
apportfons its revenue between state and
Interstate business in an arbitrary manner
and L. e. wettllng, wh6 was on the stand,
offered many examples Of the unfairness of
this proposition by showing that when
intrastate rates are raised a great portion
of the revenue thus derived goes into inter
state business, and he holds the Interstate
traffic produces none of the Increase.
The system of the railroad is to divide
the revenue according to the per cent Of
the intrsstate earnings to the interstate
earnings.
Mr.. wettllng gave the following as an
example of the unfairness Of this plan:
A railroad a certain number of miles in
length receives in revenue from its pas
senger business 100000; it's operating ex-
penses are SIS, ,00O and net receipts S25, 900
This is arbitrarily divided, intra state,
SAC 900; inter state, 100000; expenses intra
state, $4,000, and inter state $4,000; net re-
celpIS lnlTd state, SIViVVV, anu lhNSA StalO'
S15 900.
Taking the same railroad on the same
basis and increasing the intra state rate to
cents a mile, the result would be on the
arbitrary apportonment of the company;
gross revenue intra state $4,000, inter state
$50 900, expenses intra state S375CO, inter
state $37, ,5OO net revenue intra state $22,5OO
inter state $22 500. The net revenue should
have been, the said intra state $4,000, and
inter state $4,000 The intra state business
lost 1850 and the inter state gained T,5CO
Mr.. Wettllng gave many examples, taking
the actual figures introduced by the rail-
road company to show that the arbitrary
appointments was unfair and unjust
using figures on both passenger and freight
business. Following is an example he gave,
using the passenger figures of the Rock
Island:

OIL AT NEBRASKA CITY
Reported Pocket Has Been Struck by
BOrers at Depth of Fourteen
Hundred Feet.

NEBRASKA CITY. Neb.. Feb. 1s.-(spe-
cial.)-That oil has been struck by the
borers of, the deep well is an assured fact,
but just what the flow will be cannot be
told until the well is ceased further down
and the cavings stopped and the water
pumped out. The drill Is now down over
14O0 feet and the oil keeps coming to the
top of the water on the well and has since
the drill went down into sand after passing
through long stretch of rock harder than
flint and which caused the drillers all
kinds Of trouble and was slow drilling.
There has also been found traces Of gas
in the we'll, but as 1t was not a dry hole
the exact amount could not be told. The
men working on the well are putting down
casing and will have the water shut off
in few days, after which they will drill
deeper, after the water is all pumped out
provided a heavy flow of oil is not strucS
before that time, The deep well was sunk
by a local company, assisted by all of the
citizens who took stock, but becoming dis
couraged, turned over a majority of the
stock to Ingersoll Bros, who have been
sinking the we'll and who worked against
sreat odds, and they own the major portion
of the stock. and If the oil strike Is a pay
ing one they will be very rich. The people
/ here are very jubiant over the outlook
and those who own stock are holding onto
1t very tenaciously.
