as much attention as you to the things
that tend to enjoyment, and If one or
the other must be sacrificed, we think
that enjoyment should be sacrificed to
work But more and more we are grow

OVER ACTION OF HOUSE

Washington, May 1.-(Special 1.-THE reg

the House in loading down the railway
rate bill with the amendments bringing
the telegraph and telephone lines under
the supervision of the interstate commerce
laws and tnstructing the interstate COM
merce commission to ascertain the physi-
cal relation OF the railroads.
The declaration is made that the Senate
conferees, which will be appointed by
direction of the Aldrch machine, will
stand firm against these amendments, and
that they will be eliminated in conference
to make matters worse for the latter if
railroad legislation plans are on foot to
take away from the speaker the privilege
of naming the conferees, placing In TIN
hands of the House itself this discre-
ton.
1t is claimed by the advocates of the
two amendments that the conferees who
will be appointed by the speaker will not
stand up to the House, and will yield to
the Senate after mere show of light On
the other hand the House conferees,
which would be elected by democrats end
insurgents, would stubbornly resist the
elimination Of the amendments. 1t is
