AGREE
ON RAILWAY BILL
Stock and Bond Provision Elimi-
mated on Demand of
Senators
TAFT WINS ONLY ONE POINT
Will Probably Be Presented in
Shape for Passage
Next Monday
TAFT WINS ONLY ONE POINT
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Conferees
on the administration railroad bill had
the aid Of Attorney General Wicker
sham today, and it was announced to-
night there is a possibility of final
agreement Monday.
No member of the conference COM
mittee would discuss the details of to-
days accomplishments.
It was learned, however, that ten
tative agreement was reached as TO
the long and short haul provision,
which will consist practically OF 50th
the senate and house amendments on
the subject.
The stock and bonds provisions are
to be eliminated, as the senate con"
ferees say that because of Democratic
opposition they could obtain the adop-
tion of a conference report providing
for federal regulation of securities.
The ascertainment of the physical
value of the railroads will not be pro-
vided for in the conference bill.
USELESS DISCUSSION
Senator Aldrich told Representative
Mann that the senate had voted four
times to reject that feature. ana II
was folly to consume time in dis
cussing it.
Mr.. Mann has not entirely abandoned
hope of compelling the acceptance OF
some provision on this subject.
President Taft apparently will win
on onlv one of the three suggestions
that he made to the conferees. He de-
sired the house amendmtnts concerning
stocks and bonds be retained; that the
time allotted by the senate bill TO the
interstate commerce commission for IN
no Ta6nGnd from Ten
TO six months, and that the section re-
garding rate increases be made ef-
fective at once instead of after sixty
days. -,
MANY provisions in the house bill
are not in the senate meaure In any
form. This is true particularly OF sec
ton of the house bill, which pro
vides for an enlargement of the power
of the commission over railroads. rms
section proposes to amend section l
of the existing interstate commerce act.
1t was written by Mr.. Mann, and ne
acknowledges pride of authorship. A
large part of this long section was
accepted by the senate conferees.
THROUGH ROUTE
The proposed changes in existing law
would REQUIRE railroads to provide Ia
cilities for operating through routes
and to exchange, interchange ana re-
turn cars used therein.
The railroads would be compelled TO
establish and observe reasonable class
ification of property for transporta-
tion, regulations affecting rates. tar
ifs and the form of tickets, receipts
and bills of lading, as we'll as many
other regulations affecting marking,
packing and delivering property and
carrying of personal, sample and ex-
cess baggage.
Senator Foster, the minority mem
ber of the senate conference committee,
resigned today and Senator NeWlands
was appointed to succeed MIN. Inc
Democratic members of the committee
have not been admitted to any of the
councils and will not be until CO
pIete agreement has been reached by
the Republicans.

cago to New York aeroplane race
she said to James E. Plew, acting
president of the Aero Club of Illinois.
Unable to say whether women are

consulted the promoters, and finally
told Miss Potter that he guessed 1t
would be all right"

MAINTAIN SECRECY ON
RAILROAD BILL CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Through
the maintenance of a self-imposed in
junction Of secrecy, it is likely that the
conferees on the railroad bill, who be-
gan their deliberations today, will COM
plete their alterations in the measure
and make their reports to their respec-
tive houses without much information
Of their procedure becoming known in
advance.
This course is being viewed with
suspicion by the insprgents, who would
have been glad to accept the senate bill
without a conference.

The early murmurings adverse to
the election of Representative Champ
Clark to the speakership in the sixty
second congress seem to have no
foundation in material fact. There are
Enthusiastically some democrats who
regret that the Missouri leader was
permitted when democrats were in
the minority to preempt the prize.
Had any considerable number antici-
pated the landslide which gives the
house 107 eastern and northern demo-
Gratis there is no doubt the organiza-
ton of the next house would have
witnessed a pretty contest over the
speakership. 1t looks now as though
Champ Clark will drive that Nilsson

promised he would do if elected
speaker. Democratic troubles will
come from other provocations than
the speakership election.

TAKES A HIGH RANK

Since the bullion produced by the
Homestake Mining company amount
ing to about one ton month, has
commenced to pass through the Dead
wood United States assay Office, that
establishment has taken high rank
among the Offices of the kind in the
country. In fact it now ranks third,
being only surpassed in the amount
of business done by New York and
Seattle. The former receives gold
and silver shipments from all sections
of the country and consequently is
far ahead of all other United States
assay offices in the matter of receipts,
while Seattle gets all the gold ship
ment from Alaska, as we'll as from
other mining districts in the north
west part of the country
The question of improving the
equipment of the local United States
assay office is still being considered
by the department and will doubtless
be accomplished at the earliest pos
sible date. There has been some de-
lay in this work on account of the
fact that the government appropria-
ton for this purpose has been ex-
hausted, but it is expected the COM
ing congress will attend to this mat
ter, as it should be looked after. 1t
is uncertain what kind of a furnace
will be put in, but it is certain that
this improvement will be among the
ones intro duced. 1t was proposnd to
install gas furnace, but in this the
plans may be changed, as it requires
the best quality of gas to be properly
operated. The use of crude oil burn
ing furnace is also being considered.

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

His Wonderful Strength.

hls Enormous Hands and Feet saA
His Wonderful Strength.
In memoir written by David Aker
son In 1911 Is found this description:
Washington had large. thick nose.
and It was very red that day, giving
me the impression that he was not so
moderate in the use of liquors as he
vas supposed to be- found aff tter-wara
that this was a popularity. His nose
was apt to turn scarlet In q cold wind.
He was standing near a small camp
fre, evidently lost In thought, and
making no effort to keep warm. He
seemed six feet and half in height,
was rs erect as nm Indian and did not
for moment relax from a military
attitude that seemed q vital part OF
the man.
Washington's exact height was six
feet two inches In his boots. He was
then little lame from striking his
knee against tree. His eye was SO
gray that It looked almost white. and
he had troubled look on his colorless
face. He had a piece of wooden tied
around his throat and was quite hoarse
Perhaps the throat trouble from which
he finally died had its origin about
then.
Washingtons boots were enormous
They were No. II. His hands were
larger in proportion, and he could not
buy a glove to fit him and had to
have his gloves made to order His
mouth was his strong feature, the lips
being always tightly compressed Thai
day they were compressed so tightly
as to be almost painful to look at.
At that time he weighed 200 pounds,
and there was no surplus flesh about
him. He was tremendously muscled,
and the fame of his great strength was
everywhere, His large tent, when
wrapped up with the poles, was SO
heavy that 1t required two men to
place 1t IN the camp wagon. Washing
ton would lift it with one hand and
throw 1t In the wagon as easily as If
1t were pair IF saddlebags. He could
hold muskes In one hand and shoot

his cheeks were prominent, and bis

seemed large and bony at all points,
