CUMM|NS FIGHTS
FOR SHERMAN LAW
INSISTS THAT 1T SHALL BE
STRENGTHENED, NOT GRIP
PIED, BY AMENDMENT.
IOWA SENATOR AND Mr.. ELkiNs
PARTICIPATE IN JOSH,
ING MATCH,

Washing on, April -. Traffic
agreements consumed the entire time
given by the senate yesterday to the
railroad bill. Senator Cummins spoke
against the section permitting such
agreements, and against the Craw-
ford substitute for it.
Declaring his intention TO denounce
any legislation which nullified the
antitrust law as this provision did,
he said the ultimate purpose of the
legislation was to allow the railroads
to fix their own rates, without first
submitting them to the interstate
commerce commission.
Mr. Elkins declared that Mr.. Cum
Minis contention for the approval OF
rate advances is impracticable and
absurd.
He said that 10000 people are
now employed by the railroads in es-
tablishing rates and that the COM
merce commission must have great
force of experts in order to carry out
the Cummins idea.
An amusing collOquy occurred be-
tween Senators Elkins and Cummins
as to the right of either to read the
other out of the party.
Contending for the right of his po-
sit,on on the bill, Mr.. Cummins as
serted that senator who would be
willing to repeal the antitrust law
without providing an adequate rem
edy in its place would not meet the
approval of the republicans of the
country. Senator Elkins construed
that as an effort of the Iowa senator
to read him out of the party.
After an interruption from MIR.
Cummins, explaining his position, Mr..
Elkins said, amid laughter: Il con-
slider the Iowa senator as good re-
publican as l am, and / know that l
am among the best. We will need all
good republicans next November"
Mr.. Cummins declared that some
republicans were disposed to attrib-
ute the recent adverse results IN
Massachusetts, and New York TO
the tariff bi i, and others to the postaI
savings measure.
He did not believe that the people
of the country had any more faith IN
the democratic party than previously,
he said, but thought that the present
situation is due to the gradual weak
ening of confidence in the servants
awarded positions of power by the re-
publican party.
He said the people are deyotedly
attached to the antitrust law, ana
uttered a warning against the efforc
TO repeal it, without providing for a
strong substitute.
The senate discussed Lodges res
olution to appropriate $4,000 addi-
tional, TO extend the senate inquiry
into the cost of living. No action
was taken Senator La Toilette pre-
scented an amendment, requiring an
especial inquiry into the cost of man.
ufacturing articles affected by the in
vestigation. The amendment was ac-
cepted by Senator Lodge. Tt is PROB
able that action will be taken today.

but the patient failed to respond.

companion:
This is bad job; We will never

When on shore once more he took

from the effects of tobacco. This is
one of them. Yet it is true that since
the illness began the doctors had cut
down his daily allowance of 20 cigars,
and countless pipes to four cigars a
day.
No deprivation was a greater sor-
row. He tried to smoke on the steam

and only gave it up because he was
too feeble TO draw on his pipe Even
on his deathbed, when he could no

ton of waving cigar and putting.
The death of II. H. Rogers, a close
friend, was a severe blow. The death
of his daughter, Jean, who was seized
with an attack Of epilepsy last faI
while in the bath, was an added blow
from which he never recovered. Then
that stabbing pain in the heart began.
Mr.. Twain died, as truly as it can
be said of any man, of broken heart.
When he heard of the successive
deaths of his two friends, William A.
Laffan of the New York Sun. and r.
W. Glider. editor of the Century. he
said sadly: How fortunate they are:
no good fortune of that kind ever
comes to me-" Life had no further
allurements for him.
Burial will be in the family plot

out remapping for himself the entire

of most striking appearance-Jhe kind

I believe tho time has come for the
State of Washington to change from
the present barbarous system of PERI
sonal injury to more humane syss
tenn of compensation to the injured
workmen and their dependents in
l believe the financial loss result
ing to a workman from a personal
injury should be borne by the in
dustry,, and not placed upon the
and children, the aged parents and
dependents and the charity of the
public, who are least able to bear
the burden. Today more than 50
per cent of the injured receive nd
compensation whatver. That Is
largely the result of court made
law and 1T requires legislation to
change 1t. Those who receive any
compensation are compelled to take
the offer OF casualty companies, as q
rule, or drag their cases through the
courts at great expense in costs and
attorney fees.
Today casualty companies take
the place of the employers in treat
ing with their injured workmeh,
The casualty company takes from
the employer a certain amount tor
an indemnity policy and also oer-
tain amount from the workmen fog
Ia collective accident policy, and
with these funds fight all personal
injury claims. That is wrong to th4
workman and 1t Is wrong to tho
employer. Il
l am in favor of the State Conif
pulsory Insurance plan adopted BIZ
most nations of Europe. Put all thu
money now paid by the employed
and workman in a fund under the
control and management of the
State Insurance Department and pay
|all injured workmen a sum accord-
ing to the injury, without tho intef-
lvention of casualty companies or
lawyers.
l believe in the people and will
work for direct legislation and thd
right OF recall.
I believe our Supreme Court
SHOULD be placed above party control.
I believe Tacoma and Pierce
County should be known in the next
Legislature.

TWO DIE
IN WELL

Choke damp killed Jean Golf
"a, and Guy Romness. IT, while
they were digging a well near
Edgewood yesterday.
They had gone down about &C
feet and came up for dinner
After eating they started down
again. The boy went first. When
he was lowered Golf heard him
moaning. He called for help and
started down himself. When
part way down he was overcome
and fell out of the sling. Assist
ance was summoned and an ex-
perienced well digger started
down. He got down 10 feet and
yelled to pull him up. When he
reached the surface he was un-
conscious. He was revived, and a
lantern was lowered, but it was
extinguished by the poisonous gas
when down a few feet.
Hooks were secured and the
bodies of the men in the bottom
were finally grappled and
brought out. They could not be
revived.
Golf is a bachelor and lived
with E. Wilson. The boys par
ents lived at Edgewood.
