SERIOUS CONDITION KNOWN.
Physicians Discovered Senator Dol.
liver's Precarious State Week Ago.

FORT DODGE, Iowa. October 15.-It
was learned here tonight that a con-
sultation of physicians was held a week
ago. and that they had discovered that
the senator was in dangerous condition.
This. however, was not made known I'M
til tonight.
Dr. A. III. McCreight, one of the at
tending physicians. said tonight that it
was the opinion of the physicians at the
consultation that the senator might pro-
long life by relinquishing his duties, but
la. s.e Nould never again be able to
keep up the hard work which he had
undertaken. 1t was the belief of the
physicians that his arduous work in Con-
gress had entirely broken him down.
Even Mrs. Dolliver was not aware of
the senator's serious condition. While she
has had a dread of the result. she has
continually said that the senator was not
seriously ILL
Mrs Dolliver said tonight that the sena-
tor while in Washington studied tariff
schedules constantly. far into the night.
taking little time TO eat or sleep. The
senator the past week suffered intensely
with his heart. He had breathed with
difficulty.

CATTLE RATE CASE
ARGUMENTS ALL IN
Cost of Carrying Freight Can
not Be Determined, Admits
Railroads Counsel.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. October i5.-With the
final arguments Of Judge F. D. McHugh
Of Omaha. who closed for the railroads,
the cattle-rate case was submitted to
Judges Sanborn, Vandevanter and Adams
of the United States circuit court for
final decree this afternoon
Admission. which he made in his argu-
ment, that no one could tell exactly the
actual cost Of carrying any particular
class of freight. was regarded by counsel
Of the government as an important point
in the commissions case. The argument
during the afternoon dealt almost entirely
with statistics.
This long legal battle began two years
ago. when the interstate commerce COM
mission finished q five-year Investigation
of the cattle rates on southern and south
western railroads and disapproved of the
last advance in rate, which the railroads
made in 1903.
This advance averaged 3 cents a hum
dred pounds. Fifty-one railroads are in
volved.

SOCIAL LIFE IN WASHINGTON

When news Of Senator Delivers
death reached Washington last evening
regret was expressed by all who had
Known him during his long residence
in this CITY,
Many government officials had been
his intimate friends. The few men,
bers of Congress now here consider
his death big loss to the nation.
He had been a familiar figure In the
National Capital for more than twenty
years. While always a lover Of home
life, he numbered his social acquaint-
ances by the score. His home, at 1415
Massachusetts avenue, has been the
scene of many gatherings.
Social Activities.
Mrs Dolliver had always been an &C
tive member of educational societies.
and was an officer of the College
Women's Club. AS a leading member
Of the Daughters Of the American
Revolution, she was prominent figure
at the annual conventions Of that body,
and extensively entertained the dele
gates at her home every spring.
Senator Dolliver took an interest in
District affairs, not only in his capacity
as a member of the District committee.
but later when he relinquished his place
on that board and assumd his duties as
a member of the committee on education
and labor.
Several years ago. following the con-
troversy between the school board and
DIR. Chancellor, deposed superintendent
of schools, Senator Dolliver introduced a
bill providing for a director of schools
and the elimination of the board of edu-
cation. This measure was opposed in
certain quarters apd was never passed.
Interest in Local Affairs.
More recently he showed his interest in
District affairs when he worked hard In
behalf of the George Washington Uni
versity to obtain for 1t the benefits OF
the Morrill, act. AS chairman of the COM
mittee on agriculture he granted numer-
Gus hearings to the trustees and friends OF
the university and assisted them in their
attempt to obtain an annual appropriation
from Congress.
On several occasions he had addressed
various citizens associations. and had
always approved the plan for Wash
ington, the City Beautiful"
The senator is survived by his widow
and two daughters. Margaret Eliza and
Frances Pearsons Dolliver.

OF UNIFORM GRADE
Railway Companies Ordered
to Provide Safety Appliances.
TO EQUIP FREIGHT TRAINS
Cost of Improvement Estimated to
Total $50, 100000.
TIME GRANTED FOR OLD CARS
Regulation by Interstate Commerce
Commission to Govern All
New Equipment.
TO EQUIP FREIGHT TRAINS
TIME GRANTED FOR OLD CARS

uniform standard for the equipment
OF freight cars with safety appliances
was established yesterday for all the rau-
roads in the country by the interstate
commerce commission. An order was is
sued by the commission providing for the
establishment of the standard as required
by the terms of the law enacted by Con-
gross at it's last session.
Although the statement was made by
the railroads that the proposed changes
in the standards would cost American
railways Immediately approximately $50.
100000. the commission is of opinion that
compliance with the order will not cause
any undue expense to the railroads, as
the order applies entirely to new equip
ment and is Immediately effective only
amount Of time will be granted to the
railroads properly to equip their old cars
with the new standards, as the cars from
time to time are relegated to the shops
for repairs.
Purpose Of the Order.
The order does not make any radical
change in equipment. Its main purpose
and intent is to require that all classes OF
freight cars shall be equipped alike in
all parts of the country. as such uni
formity is regarded as highly conducive
10 the SAFETY OF employees.
All the appliances covered by the COM
missions orders are now used on cars,
with the exception that two additional
ladders are required on certain classes
of cars, and two additional sill steps
are required on all cars.
In the past the appliances placed upon
cars for the safety Of the men have
been covered by rules made by the
Master Car Builders Association. These
rules have not been binding upon the
railroads, and have not been lived up to.
the consequence being that each rail-
road has followed it's own ideas In the
application of these safety devices. and 1t
has been impossible to secure the desired
uniformity. The change which will be
brought about by the new order will
compel all cars to be equipped alike. and
the commission can enforce the desired
uniformity.
The devices covered by the order can
be placed upon new cars in the manner
required by law, it is contended. just
as cheaply as they could have been
applied under the old haphaZard meth
cd. The change in equipment of cars
now in service SO as to bring them up
to the requirements Of the commission s
order will be made gradually. AS the
cars go through the shops for general
repairs they will be changed so as
to conform to the new equipment. 1t
is expected that this part of the subject
will be dealt with by the commission
in q future order. q SUFFICIENT extension
of time being granted the railroads to
bring old equipment up to the uniform
standards without undue expense.

DOLLIVER A GREAT MAN.
Senator Cummins' Estimate of His
Deceased Colleague.

DES MONIES, Iowa, October 15.-Sen-
ator Albert 3. Cummins, Iowa's junior
senator, was greatly shocked upon learn
ing of Senator Delivers death.
IL am profoundly grieved at the death
of Senator Dolliver,' he said. mo man
in Congress will be more greatly missed.
The nation has lost great man. He was
finely equipped for service. and his death
coming at time that it does will be a
great loss to the masses of the people.
He was a man who fearlessly enlisted in
every great cause. l had come to admire
him for his craftsmanship and for his
fearlessness in fighting for the cause OF
right and justice. He was always enlisted

SECRETARY M0SELEY
IMPROVED IN HEALTH
Commerce Commission Off,
ciaI RaI|ying From General
Breakdown and Bronchitis.

Edward A. Moseley, secretary of the
interstate commerce commission. who has
been i'll at his home on 10th street for
about two weeks, was greatly improved
last night, and his physicians stated that
after a months rest Mr.. Moseley should
be able to return to his desk.
Mr. Moseley suffered breakdown, prob
ably due to a too jealous application to
the big problems of railroad rate regula-
ton which have been before the commits
sion in recent months. He was Ill for
some time at his summer home in Mas
sachusetts, and about two weeks after his
return to Washington he suffered an at
tack Of bronchitis. A heart complication
resulted, and for several days Mr.. Nose
ley's condition was regarded as serious.
Dr. Philip S. Roy of this city and DR..
William S. Thayer of Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. Baltimore, have been in attendance
upon Mr.. Moseley, and DR.. Roy said last
night that he believed the patient was
now entirely out Of danger
Coincidence in the Case.
1t was a curious coincidence that Mr..
Moseley's latest illness began on the very
day when the safety app lance regulation,
a matter to which he had devoted years
of effort, was finally promulgated by the
commission. In the opinion of the COM
mission and of those who have been asso-
ciated with him in his philanthropic work,
the adoption of the safety appliance
standards will stand as monument for
all time to his life efforts.

PARIS, October 15.-The losses from
the railroad strike. now rapidly petering
out, have been many millions of francs.
Both Paris and the provinces suffer

Of trade and industries. The Partisan

Service on the northern railroad to
Germany, Belgium and England has prac-
tically been restored. The western road
is still disorganized, but conditions are
improving.

Freight Service Demoralized.
More trains were moving on the West

ice was still demoralized. The govern
