SECTION SEVEN CAUSES
MOST OF THE TROUBLE

WASHINGTON. May S.-Seotion of
the railroad bill which caused all the
trouble, never was perfected in the sen
ate. The Cummns and the Elkins- Craw-
ford provisions were offered as complete
substitutes for the section. The Cum
MINIS provision would have legalIzcd traf-
fic agreements. but would have compelled
tho railroads to procure the approval OF
the Interstate commerce commission be-
fore making changes OF rates,
The EkIns Crawford provision would
authorize the making OF traffic agree
ments. but would permit the railroads 10

FIRST obtaining the approval OF the COM
mission.
The insurgents claimed that this pro
vision would repeal the sherman anti
trust law 80 far as II applied to rail-
roads and would put an end to competi-

amendments were In compliance with the

subject 10 approval of the commission.
The insurgents. however, have reached
the respectable status OF being treated as
belllgerents," commented Mr., Dolllver be-
fore the senate convened.
Not only Mr.. Dolliver. but also other
insurgents. believed todayE proceedings
would mark an epoch in the history OF
the bill. The insurgents were divided In
opinion to the probable fate Of the
Cummins amendment. Some were not so
sure 1t could be beaten by the regulars.
even with the assistance OF those sena-
tors who agreed to vote against II with
the understanding that the agreement
provision would be withdrawn subse-
qucntly. They appeared hopeful OF sue
cess and indicated their preference for
the regula ton OF traffic agreements by
such a provision. Discussing the pro-
gramme OF the regulars. Mr.. Dolliver
said.
"It Is like driving of the roof the man
who Is patching Il in order 10 burn the
house. We would prefer to go and
perfect the bill. We are certainly getting
on, Our war 6tatus is recognized. We
are TO be dealt with, and our right TO
make treaties and to enter into alliances
is established" 5"

POLICE BELIEVE THEY
HAVE CLEVER CROOKS

In the capture of Frank Kelly and j S.
Marriott at the Oregon Short Line depot
late Tuesday afternoon the police depart
ment believes II has in custody duo OF
the cleverest pickpockets that have ever
operated In the west.
A report was telephoned TO police
headquarters that a stranger within the
gates had been touched at the station
for his pocketbook containing consider
able money and valuable papers. Pa
tromen c. J. Eckstead and George Bur-
time had landed the two men.
At the police station the account they
gave OF their actions since arriving in
town was decidedly unsatisfactory, 10 say
the least. IL is probable that n charge
OF grand larceny Will be preferred against
them Wednesday.
