STORY OF REPORTING

Messrs. Elkins, Aldrich and Wick
ersham Figure in Amusing
Discussion of Merits.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-ff the
plans of Senator Elkins and several OF
the progressive senator's work out. the
debate In the Senate this week over the
administrations railroad bill will be
merely the beginning of the row. IL
is believed that the bill submitted to
both houses py Attorney General
.wickersham can be saved only
through the greatest possible pressure
from the White House. The progress
stves propose to have Senator Aldrich
and his cohorts pass their bill and
then to have the conferees accept the
biz that Representative Mann liz work
ing out In the house. This latter Is
not enough like the original Wicker
shall bill to be recognized by Its au-
thor.
Senator Elkins thinks that the Mann
bin is much better than the one his
own committee has reported to the
Senate ssAd-hs- figures that. the Mann
bill is the one that will be the basis of
the report OF the conferees to the two
houses.
Story of Bill.
An interesting story of how Senator
AIdrieh had the bill reported from the
Senate committee and thus incurred
the wrath of Elkins. was told by a
member of the committee to-day.
When the bill was first considered
In Senator Elkins' committed. Senator
Aidrich, who is member, listened pa
tiently for a few hours, and than de-
clared:
1--WE will report the BILL"
"But / haven't even read II yet, pro
tested Mr.. Elkins. And don't know
| what is in it. | introduced it because
| 1t was handed TO me. but I haven't
the slightest idea what 1t contains"
well you don't need TO read It," re-
torted Senator Aldrich, because
have read 1t, and. anyhow, 1t has al
ready been agreed upon"
"But insist that we shall consider
| it," shouted Mr.. Elkins. and SO Aldrich
| finally consented to consideration el
| the bill.
| After the bin had been in committee
a few days. it was agreed between
| Messrs. Cummins and Eikins and
Wickersham that certain amend
ment should be made to the bill, show
| ing that it Is not intended to nullify
| the provisions OF the Sherman anti
trust asst with regard to combinations
| Mr.. Wickersham brought the amend
msnt to the committee the next day
and Senators Cummins and Elkin.
| agreed to accept the amendment.
Then up sprung Senator Aldricl
from the other end of the table
/ There will be no amendments to thi
! BILL" he shouted.
| But" said Mr.. Wickersham. ''thii
amendment Is acceptable to the ad.
! ministration."
/ WELL" retorted Senator Aldrich, &c
have seen the President since any o,
/ you gentlemen have seen him. / was
1 at tine Whtre House day, and thi.
| bill win be reported as II Is. / movs
| that the bill be reported with the rec.
ommendation that 1t do pass" and ths
motion was carried.
| This Is one reason that Elkins ism
particularly in love with the bill as re.
| ported by his own committee.
