SENATE PASSES RAILROAD BILL
Only Twelve Vote Against Measure
Which Has Been Under considera
ton for Twelve Weeks.

Washington.-Th senate passed the
administration railroad bill Friday
night. 1t has been under considera
ton for more than twelve weeks and
practically no other business except
appropriation bills were considered in
that long period. Only twelve votes
all by Democrats, we're recorded
against the bill.
The practical unanimity with which
the measure was passed was due to
radical changes made in the measure
from the form in which It was drafted
by Attorney General Wickersham, fol
lowing numerous conferences at the
White House on the subject of amend
ing interstate commerce laws. All
the insurgents" who opposed many
features of the original bill, voted for

and merger sections and by reason of

the interest of shippers, the progress.

tory, and most of the Democrats ex.
pressed themselves as favorable to
the large portion of the measure.
Had 1t not been for the retention OF
the sections to create court of com.
merce, 1t is likely that the vote for
the bill would have been unanimous.

Think Railroad Bill PrOvisO Nulliiics
Law Against Rcbating.

Washington, June 6.-Democratic
leaders In the House today discover
ed an alleged Joker" in the Senate
roalroad bill, which, they say, would
batting without fear of prosecution. 1t
is in the form of a five-line provision
to that section of the existing law,
which prescribes a penalty of $3.50 for
failure to quote a rate to a shipper
on request or for misquoting a rate.
The proviso, which is said to nullify
laws prohibiting rebates. was present.
ed by Senator Shiveley, a Democrat,
and is as follows:
Provided, however, that notwith-
standing anything in this section con-
tained, any person or company suffer-
ering damage In consequence of any
violation Of any OF the provisions of
this section shall have the right to
recover such damages by suit against
the carrier in any Court Of competent
JurlSdlctlon.
The theory of the Democratic men,
bers Of the House, who pointed out
this feature Of the bill, was that it
would open the way for railroads to
give rebates under the gu Sc of pay
Ing damages to a shipper. Lawyers
of the Senate, both Republican and
Democrat, ridiculed the suggestion,
and said it probably was advanced to
cast doubt upon the wisdom Of ac-
| cepting the Senate amendment to the
railroad bill without conference.
Representative Underwood, Of Ala
bama, declared the Senate amendment
would effectually restore to the rail-
roads the power to grant rebates.
Representative Sims, of Tennessee,
Democrat. member Of the commit
ee on Interstate and foreign COM
merce, said that in his opinion, the
Senate section would restore 10 the
railroads the privilege of reba ting.
II do not want to say" said Mr..
Sims. that the Senate intended the
section to read that way, but is the
effect of the provision"

LEXINGTON PHYSICIAN AR
RESTED.
DIR. Oxner Charged with Practicing
Without State License.

Lexington, June 4.-Dr w. A. Ok
ner OF Gilbert, was ARRESTED by
Deputy Sheriff Miller this morning
upon a warrant charging him with
the parctice Of medicine and surgery
without a license. The warrant was
issued by Magistrate T. l.. Harman
upon affidavit Of DR.. F.. G. Roberts
of this town.
DR.. Oxner came to Lexington and
Immediately gave bond in the sum OF
$500 for his appearance at the Gen
eral Sessions Court. The law requir-
es that every physician must have a
license from the State board Of ex-
aminers or hold a diploma from O
medical college within the borders of
the State.
Dr. OXner is a graduate of the
Medical College Of Georgia and has
diploma from that institution, but
it seems that the law in this State
does not recognize diplomas from
colleges outside of the State TO the ex-
tent that a doctor cannot practice medi-
cine without first obtaining license
from the State board. DIR. OXner has
been practicing medicine for a num-
Der Of years at Gilbert. He Is a
married man and has fl children
lt is sa.. that he enjoys an extensive
and successful practice.
