DENIS REFUSE
TO SURRENDER
DECLINE TO ENTER INTO AN
AGREEMENT, ON RAIL
ROAD BILL.
ALDRICH BELIEVES MEASURE
CAN BE PASSED AT AN
EARLY DATE.

Washington, May 20.-In the SEN
ate yesterday Senator Cummins
amendment to the railroad bill re-
curing the approval by the interstate
commerce commission to all increases
of railroad rates before they take eff
feet. was under consideration through
out the day, but no vote was reached.
Senator Cummins occupied the
floor during the entire session. There
was much effort, TO bring about an
agreement among the regular repub-
Icans and democrats whereby an
early vote on the bill would be in
sured. This was frustrated by the re-
fusal of many democrats to enter into
an agreement, alleging this would be
a surrender to the "Aldrich repub-
licans." The plan was this: The re
publicans would strike out the sec
tons of the bill relating to capitaliza-
ton of railroads, would pass an
amendment prohibiting the lowering
of rail rates to destroy competition
and give a place of advantage TO the
statehood bill. In return the demo
Gratis were expected to expedite the
rail bill by voting down most of the
insurgent amendments. Despite his
failure to make the agreement, Sena-
tor Aldrich said he believed an ar
rangement will be made soon to in
sure the passage of the bill at an
early date. The regulars claim ten
democratic votes, but say they need
only two two or three. The insur-
gents denied any approach to an
agreement between them and the reg
ulars.
Senator Cummins charged that
since January 1 the railroads have
put up large number of increases in
force and that their activity in this
respect was invited by provision of
the pending bill. He said there should
be a supervision of increases and
challenged the senators to dispute the
statement

DOGS TAKEN UNDER
NAME OF JOHN DOE
LOS ANGELES NEW ORDINANCE
COMMANDS THE POLICE TO
PICK UP UNMUzzLED AN
IMALS.

Lon Angeles, Cal, May 20" john
Doe, dog; arrested by Patrolman
Fowler on avenue Twenty-three;
charge, suspicion" is the entry that
was made on the police blotter at
the East Side substatiOn. 1t is the
first time in the history of the Los
Angeles police department that dog
was regularly booked and held as
prisoner.
The unfortunate prisoner was
caught after it had bitten Otto Nit
tendorf, five years old, while the iao
was playing in the front yard at his
home, at No. 221 North avenue.
The lad, it seems, was playing IN
the yard when the dog, which was
unmuzzled, ran toward the child and
bit it on the leg. The boy became
greatly frightened, screamed at the
top of his voice and ran into the
house. His parents quickly learned
of the trouble, and soon a form1da-
BILE posse of nearly twenty persons
began chasing the dog.
The animal, showing no signs OF
aggressiveness, tucked it's tail and
began a Marathon down the street
After running about block it ran
into Patrolman Fowler. The dog
seemed to realize that the patrolman
was it's protector and cringed at the
feet of the officer and whined APP
pealingly. Fowler caught the dog,
held it in his arms, and when he
| learned of the case took the animal
| back to the home of the Mittendorf
lad, where the latter identified it as
the dog that attacked him. Fowler
then placed the animal in a sack
and took it to the East Side station.

was informed of the matter. He or
dered the dog detained for observa-
ton to ascertain whether or not it.
is suffering from rabies.
The dog was booked as prisoner
and locked up in a cell by itself,

BALLINGER PROBE
HEARING FINISH
RRANDEIS WOULD SHOW OLD
cRUDGE PROMPTED
LAWLER.
DEFENSE CLAIM CHARGES HAD
INCEPTION IN GARFIELD's
HOME.

Washington, May 20.-The Balm
end. The defense rested yesterday.
The prosecution will call several wit
nesses today. Then will come the
summaries which will be brief. Yes
terday's session was dull and uninter-
esting. Attorney Brandeis concluded
the cross-examination of Oscar Law
Ter, the assistant attorney general, the
author of the famous tentative draft
for Taft, which eXonerated Ballinger
and dismissed CLAWS. Commissioner
Fred bennett, of the general land Of
fee, finished his testimony. Z. r
Perkins, of the Chicago Office of the
reclamation service, also testified.
Brandeis tried to show That Lawler
entertained an OLD, grudge' against
CLAWS. Lawler admitted that he and
CLAWS had a falling out over land
cases in California three years ago.
Brandeis also brought out the fact
that the interior department employed
detectives in an effort to connect for
estry officials with the preparation of
the CLAWS charges against Ballinger.
The defense, through Perkins tes-
timony, tried to show that the charges
against Ballinger had their inception
at the home of former Secretary Gar
field in July, when Garfield conferred
with Pinchot there.
Perkins, telling of his BLACK tent
lectures, which the prosecution had
declared were promoted for, and by
the railroads, said that he originated
the idea himself. He gave stereoptl-
can lectures in the middle west, to
encourage people to settle on re-
claimed land. He said that all west
ern trunk lines. excepting the Great
Northern, contributed to the lecture
fund. and President Hill of the Great
Northern, complained that his road
was Disseminated against in the lee
lures. Perkins said that most of the
projects, advertised in the lectures,
were accessible exclusively by the
Great Northern. He said that he got
$50 for each lecture and that Garfield
knew of it He said that Ballinger did
not approve, so he quit lecturing.

BREWERY STRIKE PICKET
CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
Accused of Hitting Strikebreaker
with a Stone

While on picket duty at the Maier
Brewing company yesterday morning
John Setterle, "a years old, a striker
from the East Side brewery, became
involved in an alteration with Anre
Buchwald, a strike breaker from Chi.
cago. and was arrested on charge OF
assault with a deadly weapon and
locked up in the city Jail.
Setterle, who is small of stature, was
standing outside the brewery grounds
shortly before o'clock when Buch-
wald started to enter on his way to
work.
After an argument over the strike
Setterle is alleged to have picked up
a rock and hit Buchwald on the arm.
Setterle started to run down the
street, but was soon overtaken by
Deputy Constables Jack Adams and
Charles Benjamin, who took him to
the city Jail. He was later taken be-
fore Justice Summerfield and arraigned
on a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon His bond was fixed at $1,000,
which was furnished by fellow strikers.
His preliminary hearing was set for
June % at 10 o'clock.

Another wonderful record and which
pleased Bigelow as much as anything
else is the fact that he came the en-
tire 1888 miles on one set of the Good
year tires without a change, this mile
age heing about the average mileage CT
smooth roads.
Bigelow and his mechanician, who
has been with the former for nearly
five years, are tanned and burned to a
berry, but in perfect health. The work
was not by all means enjoyment, for
a large part of it was heavy labor
digging the machine out of the mud
and sand.
The record made by the Mercer is
one of which the makers and local
agents have every reason to feel proud.
Not mile was driven at night any
where, every run being made in day
light. The record made by Bigelow
and his Mercer will probably stand for
a long time to come for the trip from
New York city to Los Angeles.
BOOST FOR GOODYEAR
The distance travelled by the car
was close to 1900 miles, under the most
severe conditions, and yet came to Los
Angeles Tuesday evening with the
same set of Goodyear tires, looking as
good almost as the uay Iney were put
on the car Not even a pnncture marred
the trip with these tires until Sun
day evening when Bigelow hit sharp
piece of malapai rock and received his
first and only puncture, which was
easily repaired and the car proceeded
on its way as though nothing had
happened.
When one stops to consider that the
mileage of the Mercer's tires is about
the average life of the average tire,
and considering what they were COM
PEELED to stand up against this is one
of the most wonderful evidence of
what Goodyears really are. When the
car drove up to the store of the w.
D. Newerf Rubber company Monday
night. distributors for Goodyears on
the Pacific coast, Mr.. Newerf said:
"While I have the greatest faith in
Goodyear tires, I consider this one of
the most remarkable evidences of what
real tires are. No ordinary tire could
ever have stood the strain and pun
ishment that set of tires had to go
through and only bears out the ever
increasing knowledge Of good construc-
ton, highest class of materials, made
by people who know how to make
tires. That's all there is to it,
