AGAINST RAILROAD BILL.
Opponents Of Townsend Measure
State Their Position.

The prohibition contained in the ad-
ministration railroad bill, introduced by
Representative Townsend, against pro-
moters of new transportation lines SELL
ing their stock at less than par found
strenuous opponents among railroad and
steamship men before the House commit
tee on interstate and foreign commerce
today.
President Barrett of the Phiipsburg
and Susquehanna Railroad Company de-
clared it would tie the hands of the un-
developed sections of the country and
would prevent any new railroad projects
from being started or completed. for 1t
was a practical impossibility to sell the
stock of new concern at anywhere near
par.
MIR. Barrett believed that the promoters
of new lines should be allowed to initiate
their securities to a certain extent, Sin
order to give the men who risk their
money a fair return for their enterprise.
Various representatives Of steamship
and navigation companies declared that
1t would be great hardship to bring
the business of water transportation un-
der the supervision of the interstate
commerce commission. They declared 1t
would ultimately force them to sell out
to the railroad companies.

GARFIELD AT CAPITOL
GIVES VIEWS ON CONSERVA-
TON TO SENATORS.
Would Lease Waterpower Sites and
Give States Part of the Rental,
He Says.

All administration bills providing for
the conservation Of natural resources will
be considered by q subcommittee of the
Senate committee on public lands. to be
composed Of Senators Smoot, chairman:
Clark OF Wyoming. Dixon, Chamberlain
AMI Hughes. Hearings will be given.
hearing was today given by the full
committee to former Secretary Of the
Interior James r. Garfield. He discussed
chiefly the bill relating to the develop
ment of water power through the leas-
ing of the public land adjacent to the
water.
As general principle he approved the
proposition of Secretary Ballinger, but
suggested a number of changes which
convinced the committee that consider
able attention must be given to the ques-
tions involved.
Mr.. Garfield is of the opinion that the
water power should be developed by CO.
operation of federal and state govern
ments. He Endorsed the suggestion OF
leasing the public lands adjacent to wa
tersides to concerns which will undertake
to develop power under conditions that
will prevent monopoly.
He suggested that % per cent of the
proceeds from rentals should be paid by
the national government to the states IN
which the power is developed.
why not IS per cent?" asked Senator
Smoot.
Mr.. Garfield said that he had named
25 per cent. as that is the amount the
states receive from proceeds Of forest re-
serve rentals.
Mr.. Smoot called attention to the fact
that it is costly to administer forest re-
serves, while 1t costs little to lease lands
for water power development. Mr.. Gar
field then said he thought the states
should receive IS per cent of rentals

CHINA ASKED TO EXPLAIN
THREE POWERS WOULD HOLD
HER TO OBLIGATIONS.
Great Britain, France and Germany
Ask Meaning Of Rescript Regard
ing Building Of Railway.

PEKING. February 18-Breat Britain.
France ana Germany. in an Identical note
presented to the foreign board yesterday,
asked the Chinese government the mean
ing of the imperial rescript of JanuaAy so.
In which the throne ordered the imperial
board of communications to consider the
proposal of the provinces concerned to
build the railways involved in the dis
puted Hankow-Sze-C huen loan.
The note holds China to her obligations,
contracted in the negotiations of last
summer.
The above powers made an effort to ar
range a protest against the rescript. The
United States did not join with them In
the matter. Neither did the United States
participate in the Identical note.
Mr.. Fletcher, American charge 'affaires,
made representations. however, to the
foreign board to the effect that the
United States would expect full participa-
ton in any loan for the railways in
volved.
Baron Ijuin, the Japanese minister, call
ed at the American legation and explained
to Mr.. Fletcher Japan's position in the
matter of the Chinchow-Aigun railway.
Japan's official representations to China
for participation in the financing of this
road do not contain any new conditions
not made in the informal representations.
only as Japan makes clear her expecta-
tons of extending the Japanese line to
the rich Tonanfu region, preferably from
Tiehling.

The investigation was resumed this
afternoon. 1t is expected that Mr. CLAWS
will be under croSS-examination by the
attorney for Secretary Ballinger through
out the session.
Mr. CLAWS was under cross-examina-
ton all day yesterday by Attorney John
J. Vertrees, representing Mr.. Ballinger,
and the indications were, when adjourn
ment was taken, that the questioning of
this chief witness for the prosecution
will continue for several days more His
examination is largely upon documentary
evidence, and 1t takes considerable time
to read the reports. letters. etc. upon
which questions ought to be asked Mr..
CLAWS always insists upon coupling long
explanations with his answers, and this
also tends to delay progress.
