RAILROAD BILL
IS UP TO SENATE
Vote on Administration Measure Is
Expected To Be Taken in
Three Weeks.

WASHINGTON. May l1.-senators
proceeded serenely today with the job
of fixing up their railroad bin despite
the fact that the house, with much
contention and heavy labor. passed a
measure on the same subject yester'
day. Senators, well aware OF the fact
that the shooting up of the bin in the
house has been from angles different
from those employed In the senate.
will indulge only In grim smiles when
they hear officfally that the house
asks their ''concurrence."
The house version of the bill will
be referred TO the senate committee
on interstate commerce. The COM
mittee most likely will let 1t rest in
a pigeonhole' until the senate bill has
been completed. Then the commit.
tee will, In all probability, recon.
mend that the senate bill be adopted
as a substitute, the senate will fol-
low the recommendation and the SEN
ate bill will be sent TO the house for
concurrence The house will refuse
to concur and will ask for confer
ence which will take place without
further delay. A conference com
mittee usually consists OF commit
tees consisting OF two Republicans
and one Democrat from each branch
OF congress.
"The prediction when we began
work on the railroad bill" said q
senator today, was that we would
reach final vote in three weeks
Every prediction since that time has
been the same and when you ask
me now how long II will be before
the vote is taken can do no better
than TO repeat Three weeks"
The debate on the long and short
haul" clause in the senate Will
probably consume the greater part or
all OF this week Then there will be
contention over the sections designed
to authorize the interstate commerce
commission to regulate the issue or
stocks and bonds by railroads, and a
number of minor bat troublesome
amendments.
Most OF the important changes OF
the presidents handiwork will be pro-
visions for the physical valuation OF
railroad property; placing telegraph
and telephone companies under the
Jurisdiction OF the interstate COM
merce commission; to have the CON-
merce court judges appointed by the
supreme court OF the United States To-
extend the law to ships plying be-
tween the United States and Hawaii,
and to prevent a director OF one rail.
road serving as an officer or director
of another line. The house eliminat.
ed two sections which proposed to al
low railroads. under certain condi-
tons. to consolidate and to enter into
rate agreements.
In the senate so far, these sections
have been amputated. Also the pro-
posed wide jurisdiction of the cont
merce court has been restricted; in
terested shippers have been given the
right to be represented In the trial OF
cases appealed from the commerce
court and 1t has also provided that
the interstate commerce commission
shall have no authority over steam
ship freight or passenger rates.

and Mrs. Roosevelt, newly welded, ~
years ago. He had II in mind to look
up the old tavernkeeper who was TO
hospitable and whose welcome was SO
kind on that other trip. And II would
be a refuge from the limelight--a bit
of priyacy--a chance TO rest and
think TO enjoy the budding cherry
trees, the terraced vineyards, the
drab-green olive groves and the lush
breath of spring in the italian Riviera.

LIME Kiln CLAIMS
ANOTHER VICTIM
BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED WHITE
MAN is FOUND LYING IN
DEATH TRAP.

Lying stretched out full length and
seemingly asleep beneath the Cary
street lime kiln, an unidentified white
man whom the police think was a
tramp was found dead by Mr.. B. A.
Cheatham Tuesday morning. Death
was due, 70 Coroner Taylor says. to
the inhalation of the deadly fumes
from the lime. There will be no in
quest.
The body. which now lies at Billups
undertaking establishment at FIJI
teenth and Main streets, Ia that of IA
man about forty-fire years old. Tho
face Is unshaven, the clothes ragged
and dirty, the shoes badly worn. In
the opinion OF the police, the victim
seeking warmth and ignorant of hts
peril lay down to sleep In what on
many previous occasions has proved
yeritable death trap.
Many men have met death in tho
same place, and In the same manner
as did this unidentified wanderer. Sew
eral months ago, realizing the menace
OF the place. the city council authoriz-
ed the stretching OF barbed wire
fence around the kiln IN order to keep
people away from 1t. This latest Vie
tim must have crawIed either under
or over the fence. He then lay down
directly beneath the kiln. and was
asphyxiated.
Both hands Of the dead man were
badly burned by lime droppings.
