Catania, Sicily, March 26.-The
eruptions from the side craters Of

fiery river formed at the foot of
Mount Castellazo moved slowly
toward Borrello and Belpasso, con-

An early morning visit into the

which could be thoroughly enjoyed by

RIVER RATES AND

Improvement Of the Water
ways Will Help Reduce
Transportation Cost

Washington, March 26.-Now that
the house Of representatives has
adopted the policy of an annual river
and harbor bill and the senate COM
mittee on commerce has expressed it.
self in like manner, the necessity for
protecting the waterways from the
domination of the railroads has be-
come subject for serious concerns
not only on the part Of the interstate
commerce commission but with con-
gress as we'll. AS a result of the dis
cussion which has been going on for
some time the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce has
adopted certain amendments to the
administration rate bill now pending
before it which it is Relieved will
strengthen the measure materially. by
prohibiting railroads from having any
interest in any water line and vice
versa.
Representative Charles f. Town
send of Michigan. who has the ad-
ministration rate bill in charge speak
ing of the action of the committee on
the amendment in question said:
Under existing law the Interstate
commerce commission is given au-
thority to establish through rate
where none exists. But il one such
route should exist the commission has
no power to establish another how
ever desirable such other might be.
"In the bill shortly to be reported
out of the interstate and foreign CON-
Merce committee of the house it is
proposed to prevent the ownership of
4 road or stock in road which COM
pc tes with another road or with q
water line. But we 80 further in the
Une by providing that the commission
may establish. after hearing on motion
or complaint. any number of through
routes by rail or water and we pro-
hibit a rail line from owning or hav-
line. or vice versa.
'Thesc provisions are made neces-
sary by the Panama canal situation.
We didn't want the railroads to buy
up the boat lines which we hope will
be established to compete for trans
continental commerce.
"The time may come when we will
have to fix a minimum rate for the
railroads in order to prevent such
disastrous competition as will de-
stroy an existing boat line and dis
courage those who would establish
lines when our rivers and other wa
terways are better developed. But
the committee, at this time, did not
feel like saying to any common car
rier that it could not reduce it's rates
as low as it desired.

LONG DEBATE
Many Senator's Expect to Discuss The
Railroad Bill

Washington, March 26-That MANY
senator's expect to discuss the nrn.
visions of the administration railrnaa
bill before the debate ia ended and
tnat rney intend to take their time
ABOUT II, was indicated after Mr.. Clapp
had concluded his speech. The ad-
dress OF the senator from Minnesota
was the second attack on the meas
ure.
AS he concluded, Mn. NkSns. IN
charge of the bill, observed that he
didn't see any other senators who de-
sired to speak on it.
"Oh yes, the senator sees several
senators around him who intend In
speak. but they are not ready to On
on today" said Senator Bailey. "Yo,,
may as we'll lay this bill aside for to-
day.
Mr.. Elkins acted upon the sugres-
tion and the bill to codify the laws
was taken up.
Absolutely revolutionary" was the
term applied by Senator Clapp to some
of the provisions of. the railroad bill.
He especially antagonized the creation
of a court Of commerce.
Mr.. Clapp was especially syeere IN
dealing with the policy of "specializa-
ton" in the judiciary, saying that to
select five men to hear all the rail-
road cases would inevitably subject
them to public censure. He also re-
ferred to the powerful financial in
fluence of tn erailroads as a dangerous
element in the proposition.
Impugns Merger Provisions
Mr.. Clapp boldly charged the pur-
pose of the merger provision of the
bill to be the valuation of existing
holdings by one railroad company of
the stock of another. He ridiculed the
provisions permitting the court to
pass on the legality of combination
contracts before the consunmation
and authorizing it to consider the ques-
ton of the public interest in taking
cognizance of such matters.
Confidence was expressed that be-
fore the vote was taken on the bill It
would be SO amended as to provide
for motive in connection with injunc-
tion proceedings and for appeals from

May Retain Existing Law
Mr.. Sutherland asked the West Vir-
ginia senator whether there was any
objection to retaining the provision Of
the existing law on this subject and
Mr.. Elkins replied that that matter
was under consideration.
IF there is desire to expedite the
bill. why can we not put in the amend

idge.
Mr.. Elkns replied with another
question:
"Why can't we pas sthe statehood

of emphasizeing the difficulties.
