SENATE PASSES
THE RAILROAD BILL
Measure Had Beer Under Con-
sid ration for Twelve Weeks.
The FINAL VOTE WAS 50 TO l2.
Substitute For House Bill Accepted
After Debates Which Lasted
Through The Afternoon And Even
ing, Final Action Not Being Taken
Until 9.55 o'Clock-Bin Will Now
Go To The Conferees--Court OF
Commerce Provision Precludes A
Unanimous Vote.

Washington, d. c. Especially The
Senate passed the Administration
Railroad Bill. 1t had been under
consideration for more than twelve
weeks and practically no other busi-
ness except appropriation bills we're
considered in that long period. Only
twelve votes were recorded against
the bill.
The practical unanimity with
which the measure was passed was
due to the radical changes made in
the measure from the form in which
1t was drafted by Attorney General
Wickersham, following numerous
conferences at the White House on
the subject of amending Interstate
Commerce laws. All Of the "insurg-
ents" who opposed many features of
the original bill voted for 1t.
Debate ceased at $50 O'Clock
when Senator Elkins, chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Committee.
moved to take up the bill which was
passed by the House, and after strik-
ing out the body OF that measure.
to substitute the matter agreed upon
by the Senate. In that form the
bill was voted upon with the result
that 1t was passed by a vote OF SO
to 12.
Bills "High Spots"
The high spots in the railroad
bill as II passed the Senate may be
described as follows: The bill pro-
vides for the creation of a new Court
of Commerce for the consideration
exclusively Of appeals from orders
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion. The court is to consist of five
judges, to sit in Washington, their
powers are to be coordinate with
the judges of the federal Cir-N
cult Court, to receive the same pay
and emoluments, and are to be ap-
pointed in the first instance by the
President for terms respectively of
one, two, three, four and five years.
Each as he retires to take up the
work of circuit Judge, is to be
succeeded by designation from the
circuit bench, these and other va
canies to be filled by appointment
by the Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
While the Offices of the court are
to be in Washington, the regular
sessions are to be held here, provis-
ion is made for sittings anywhere in
the United States. The government,
rather than the Interstate Commerce
Commission, is made the defendant
in all cases coming before the court,
but the commission is permitted to
intervene, as are other interested
parties The defense is placed I'M
der the direction OF the Attorney Gen.
raj, but the commission and inter
ested parties are permitted to have
counsel and to carry on the suit in
case OF the failure of the Attorney
General TO do so. Appeal may be
taken to the Supreme Court.

Macon, Ca, November 3.-One OF
the most disastrous confagrations in
the history OF Macon occurred here
this afternoon when the building oc-
cupied by the Macon Telegraph was
badly damaged, the loss to the plant
being estimated at $50,O0O and on the
building at $4,000 Only the front
Of the building is standing.
The fire started at S AS o'clock, just
a few minutes after the active work
of getting out tomorrow's issue of
the paper had commenced and in a
short while the eItire building was
enveloped in flames. The tailoring es-
tablishment of James Cassidy, located
on the upper floor of the Telegraph
| building, the Palace Theatre, a mov-
ing pictures establishment, and the
real estate office of Edward A. Horne
We're also Quilted before the flames
were finally gotten under control at
o'clock.
The fire broke out in the rear of the
building and spread rapidly, forcing
an immediate departure Of all en-
| ployes from the building In the ex-
citement printer named c. R. Clay,
Railing from Knoxville, Tenn, who
was asleep in small room, was over
looked and was burned to death. He
came to Macon from Knoxville ten
days ago.
The entire outfit OF The Telegraph
including six linotype machines and
the large Goss perfecting press, was
entirely destroyed. But what is Of
more Importance was the loss of the
files of the paper for the past seventy
FIVE years, and all other records. The
files, containing a complete record Of
Macon's history, cannot be replaced
and no complete duplicates are prob
ably in existence.
No cause for the fire ca nbe given
out The flames were first seen in the
distributing room in the rear land
as they spread rapidly soon reached
pile Of waste paper that afforded a
quick getaway. The fire department
confined the flames to this building and
little other damage than that caused
lby water was done, to other places.
The business offices and the street
portion of the editorial rooms with a
few Of the valuable files were saved.
The management Of the Telegraph
soon after the fire was discovered
realized the utter impossobility Of
issuing a paper from the wrecked
plant tonight and arrangements were
perfected whereby tomorroW's edi-
ton will be issued from the office Of
the Macon News. The loss sustained
by the Telegraph Publishing Company
is greater than that suffered by any
Of the other establishments damaged
their heavy and expensive machinery
being entirely ruined by the fire, smoke
ami water. The loss is practically
covered by insurance, it is stated, al
though this could not be definitely as
