Grifhth said he could solve them
without putting pen to paper. He was
not challenged.
The professors have been at work
on the problems ever since.

Washington, April 12.-With about
200 members In their seats, tho Admin.
istration railroad bill was taken up
for consideration by the House today.
Mann OF Illinois, chairman Of the com.
mittee on interstate and foreign com.
meree, addressed the House on the
measure reported from his committee.
"With a full realization" he said,
"of the benefits aud the necessity Of
wise and successful management, oper.
alton and progressive construction Of
our railways, we also realize that in the
benefits that they confer upon the peo-
pie they are servants and not masters.
II Is their duty to treat all persons
equally"
Mann declared that the Elkins and
Hepburn laws were mainly effective and
had not been followed by the "disas.
ters" that had been 80 freely predicted.
Mann said the bill would give great.
or expedition to justice, greater ad.
vantage on even terms TO ali shippers;
greater security to those who care to
invest their money In railway stocks,
and bonds, and greater protection to
those railroads whose managements de.
sire to operate them efficiently In the
interest of the people.
He summarized the propositions un.
der three general heads. These were,
first, speedy determination Of disputes
by the creation Of commerce court,
with expert judges having no greater
jurisdiction than the Circuit Courts now
have; second, enlarging the statutory
duties Of the railways and the rights
of shippers and increasing the powers
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission n
so that elassi6eations, regulations and
practices shall be just and enforceable
as such; third, regulating the consoli.
dation Of railroads and their issues Of
