IL is now held that the reason why
rain usually followed the great bat

possible the commanders moved their

Though our government has lost

Italians seem TO be quite confident
that in one way. at least. bombarding
the clouds is productive of good re-
suits. In all the vineyards OF that
sunny land there may be seen curious
funneI-shaped guns pointing to the
sky. Hall storms form one Of the
chief dangers to the grape crop in that
country. and the Italians believe that
the firing OF these guns prevents such
destructive visitations by dissipating
the clouds which give them birth.

BACKWARD
IN MAKING SPEECHES
Railroad Bill is Laid Aside in the
Senate For Day
or Two.

Washington, March 23-When the ad-
ministration railroad bill was taken up by
the Senate today, Senator Elkins said as
no one was prepared to speak on the bill
he would ask to have it temporarily laid
aside.
He said he would not again call up the
measure until after the disposal of the
legislative, executive and judicial appfo-
priation bill. which would come up to-
morrow. but after the passage of the ap-
preparation bill he would request Senators
either to proceed with the discussion of
the bill or TO fix time for voting on it,
Mr.. Elkins put in a large part of the
day stirring Senators to greater activity
in preparing their speeches. He found a
dozen or more contemplating addresses,
but none now prepared to speak. Among
the prospective speakers are Senators
Root. Bailey, Hughes, LaFollette. Bris-
lands. Many of them are holding off I'M
til the committee amendments were sub
mitted
Members of the committee admit tacit
understanding that several changes will
be made including the following:
A provision allowing shippers to inter-
vene in suits brought by carriers against
the United States to set aside or modify
orders of the Interstate commerce COM
mission.
prohibition against the interstate
commerce commission exercising jurisdic-
ton over port to port transportation.
Authorization for appeals from interl0c-
utory DEGREES and provisions for five days
notice of injunction proceedings.
A provision requiring the submission of
traffic agreements to the Interstate com
merce commission for its approval.

This was the wreath placed upon the
head of Senator Benn Conger today by
his chief counsel, James w. Osborne,
when concluding his argument in the
senate's investigation of Conger's brib-
cry charges against Senator Aids.
I've heard some say that Benn Con-
ger is as bad as Joe Aids Mr.. Osborne
began. Now. courage is the heritage
of our race, but is there one of you with
the courage Conger has-one of you who

ever feel is the thorns that press down

has committed an act of suicide, politi-
caliy and socially, for his country good. >

.WARSH|P TO Be RAISED
Dead Will Be Recovered and the
Cause of the Disaster Definitely
Ascertained.

Washington, March 2S.-The hulk of the
Inflated battleship Maine, sunk in the
harbor of Havana, will be raised, so that
the remains of the sailor dead within the
wreck may be recovered. and so an ex-
animation may be made to determine the
manner In which the vessel was destroyed,
if the Senate approves a bill passed by
the House today.
The remains of sailors recovered will
be inferred in Arlington cemetery.
The nsast of the Maine is to be erected
near the graves of the Maine dead.
For two hours Republicans and Demo-
Gratis spoke in favor of removing the
wreck from Havana -harb0r. AS passed
by the House, the bill was. changed in its
general terms to authorize the work under
the direction of the engineer. corps of the
army, with the consent of the republic of
Cuba.
BY the insistenee Of Mr.. Sulzer of New
York, the bill was worded to require the
raising as well as the removal of the
wreck, so that an examination could be
made of the hulk to determine the man
ner OF the ships destruction.

Mr. Alexander pointed cut that a trade
