WILL BENEFIT SHIPPERS.
Important Changes In Railroad Bill
Adopted BY Senate.

WASHINGTON, May l4.-The sen ate
by vote of Sc to 10, has adopted the
compromise amendment to the rail-
road bill for the regulation OF relative
charges for long and short hauls.
The agreement was reached chiefly
because each faction apparently
thought it was getting the better of a
shrewdly driven bargain.
AS adopted, the new provision
strikes out of section 4 of the inter-
state commerce law the words "under
substantially similar circumstances
and conditions" and also elimin ates
the proviso of at section and amends
the section so as to make it read as
follows:
"Section 4.-That it shall be unlaw.
full for any common carrier subject to
the provisions of this act to charge or
receive any greater compens alton In
the aggregat for the transportation
of passengers or any like kind of pro.
perty, for shorter than a longer dis.
tance over the same line or route in
the same direction, the shorter being
included within the longer distance,
or to charge any greater compensa'
ton as through route than the ag.
gregate of the local rates; but this
shall not be construed as authorizing
any common carriers within the terms
OF this act to charge or receive al
great compens alton for q shorter az
for longer distance.
"Provided, however, that the inter.
state commerce commission may from
its knowledge or from inform alton, or
upon application ascertain that the
circumstances and conditions of the
longer haul are dissimilsr to the cir.
cumstsnces and conditions of the
shorter haul, whether they result
from competition by water or rail,
then 1t may authorize . common car.
rier to charge less for the longer than
for the shorter distance for the trans.
portation of passengers or property
but in no event shall the authority be
granted until the commission is salts.
fed that all the rates involved are
just and reasonable and not unjustly
discriminatory or unduIy preferen-
tial nor prejudicisl."
OF the Sc votes in favor of the
amendment, % were given by republi.
can senators who have opposed the
insertion of any long and short haul
provision In the railroad bill, 13 by
democrats and the rest by republic.

Milwaukee and Great Northern Al
lewistown.
LEwIsTowN, May 12.-The Milwau-
kee is now hurriedly laying steel
through the streets of Lewistowp, this
being the first move in the way OF
actual construction of its Musselshell-
Great Falls 230.mile line.
The rails are going down without
grading from the present terminus al
the depot northerly through the city,
and when the city limits are reached
gravel trains will run over it aud the
track ballasted. This action is due
to the fact that right. of.way war will
arise between the Milwaukee and
Great Northern over the right of way
through the city. The lines will con.
verge, as shown by the plats, and
cross on the Jackson property, abou,
fifty feet from Main street. The Mil.
waukee claims right OF way under On
extension of its franchise granted by
the city over year ago, but the rec

waukee has bought twelve lots cover

land where the tracks are supposed tc
cross.

Bishop, secretary, and Martin Walsh, general freight and passenger agent: The officials were here today attending the business preliminary to construc- tion and they spent the entire morn ing going over the local situation with Industrial Commissioner James w. Warren of the Business Mems Club. It is stated that the right of way from Terrell, Tex, to St. Charles, Ark, has been surveyed and secured.

PRESIDENT TAFT TO
VISIT PANAMA CANAL
Will Look Over Big Ditch Before
Making Recommendations
to Congress.

Washington, d. C.-With the WORK
on the Panama canal progressing 50
rapidly as to insure completion oi
the ditch perhaps year sooner IMAM
January l, 1915, the date Originally
set, President Taft finds 1t necessary
to make a hurried visit to the lsth'
mus in order to secure first manu-
knowledge of its problems as a basis
for a program of legislation for the
canal which the intends to push
through at the coming session OF con-
gress.
The executive wants to anticipate
the problems which will arise when
the canal is completed. He wants TO
have everything covered prior to the
opening so that there will be no ne
cessity for legislative after thoughts
Congress will be asked for the fol
lowing legislation:
An appropriation of at least W.
100000 for preliminary work in forti'
flying the canal. The total cost Oh
fertilization will probably be $15'-
10000.
Establishment of a definite govern
ment for the zone.
Settlement of the rate to be PAID
by foreign vessels for passage through
the canal.
Disposition OF the Panama rail
road.
Workingmen's compensation for in
juries.
Salary adjustment of certain class.
es of laborers on the zone.
President Taft's most perplexihg
problem of all is to determine the
form of government to be established
on the isthmus. In reality there is
no government on the zone at pres
ent Congress left to the president
the Job of administering justice and
enforcing the laws, but it did not
specify how he was to do it.
