The Plymouth tribune. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1901-1911, 1910-06-09

A number of important amendments
to the railroad bill were adopted by
the Senate Thursday. Among these
was one by Senator Oyerman Of
North Carolina prohibiting Federal
courts from granting interlocutory in
functions to suspend State laws, ex-
cept upon an order of three judges.
one of whom should be a member of
the Supreme Court or Circuit Judge.
The provision including telegraph
companies within the scope of the in
terstate commerce law was modified
so as to prohibit the granting of teie-
graph franks and permitting special
rates on press dispatches. The time
when the bill shall take effect was ex
tended to sixty days after its passage.
In the House an amendment was
adopted to the sundry civil bill, pro-
posed by Mr.. Hughes of New Jersey,
and providing that the appropriation
for the enforcement of the Sherman
antitrust law should not be used in
the prosecution of labor organizations

The Week
i'm Congress


With the exception of the adoption
of the Cummins amendment shifting
to railroad companies the burden OF
proving the reasonableness of increas-
es in rates, and the rejection of the
Brown amendment prohibiting the
consolidation of competitive railroad
lines, the Senate's consideration of
the railroad bill Tuesday was confined
to discussion Senator La Toilette Of
fered a resolution directing the Attor-
ney General to bring suit to enjoin
the recent railroad rate increases, but
Senator Curtis announced the Attor-
ney General had acted already in that
direction. Early in the day Senator
Owen delivered set speech in sup
port of his resolution for the election
of Senators by direct vote. In the
House nearly the entire session was
consumed by a discussion relating to
appropriations to make effective re-
cent legislation creating a bureau of
mines and mining. Up to the time of
adjournment $iSS,000 had been appro-
priated for this purpose. Amendments
making additional appropriations for
the bureau will be voted on when the
sundry civil bill is again under con-
sideration.

Elder" William j. Bryan, who sailed
from New York as a delegate at large
to the Presbyterian Ecumenical Coun-
Gil at Edinburgh, said to the reporters
who came to see him off that he was
convinced that the country would
choose a Democratic Congress this
year, and that if that Congress made
a good record the next President would
be a Democrat. He spoke of Folk and
Gaynor as possible candidates, but said
there were plenty of good men. On the
same boat sailed Senator Root, who
goes TO take part in the Newfoundland
fisheries arbitration, beginning June
/, in England.
The National Congress of the Social
list party which met in Chicago to re-
wise the platform and program, voted
after a long discussion that the party
is opposed to the exclusion of any i'm

tionality, anG demands that this coun-
try be kept as a free asylum for per-
sons prosecuted in other lands; but
that ii favors all measures tending to
prevent the immigration of contract
laborers or strike breakers. This was

Delegate Hilquit of New York The
policy of the party as to the farmer

Auto PIoW Does Work of 80 Horses.
An automobile pillow is now in use on
the Graham farms, north of Washing
ton. Ind. The machine arrived last
week and the first test was made sew
eral days ago in the presence or
large number of farmers. 1t seemed
to work perfectly. The automobile has
a radiator and fans for cooling the en-
gines, the same as other autos. 1t is
propelled with gasoline. and magnetic
sparks explode the gas. 1t has four
wheels, the front wheels about four
feet high and the rear wheels eight
feet high. The rear wheels are about
eighteen inches wide, enabling the
auto TO travel through soft earth
without miring deeply Behind the
auto is drawn a gang of eight plows,
blowing a strip ten feet wide each trip
across the farm. The auto. when plow-
ing, travels at a speed of two and one
half to three miles an hour. After the
first trip across the farm it automati-
cally guides itself, and if the field be
free from stumps it could be started
at one end of the farm, a mile or two
long, and without any one accompany
ing it, would do the work perfectly.
Flowing thirty acres is regarded as an
average days work for the machine.
Thirty horses and fifteen men would
be necessary to do the same work.
Only 81 of gasoline is required to feed
the engine a day while in operation

fore making turns. This is said to be
the first practical test of the auto pillow
