Wei, they don't mean anything-do

visit of Emma Goldman TO Madison
Creates biggest Kind of Uni
Versity Sensation.

MADISON, Wis, March ESPECIAL Tele-
gram )-There is a growing belief here that
Prof. Ross. who came to Wisconsin from
Nebraska university and who was yester-
day censured for his connection with the
visits to Madison of Emma Goldman and
Parker Sercomb. will refuse to retain his
place on the faculty in the face OF the re-
proof of the Board of Regents His friends
are outspoken in the belief that he is being
made a scapegoat for the entire affair He
is no more to blame, they believe for the
visit of Emma Goldman than any other
member Of the faculty and his friends re-
sent the censure, saying that the report of
the Board OF Visitors which investigated
the entire affair was so framed as to be-
come a whitewash Of the university itself,
and that Prof. Ross was censured so that
the sentiment In the state resulting from
the affair might be satisfied by some sacri-
flee, In other words, rPof Ross friends
believe that he is carrying the burden
which should have fallen TO President Van
Hise as head OF the university.

Court Upholds
Elevation Fee in
Peavey Case
Judge Sanborn Enjoins Order Prohib-
iting Roads from Making Allow
anoe to Elevators.

KANSAS CITY. March 3-In decision
handed down here today the United States
circuit court permanently enjoined the In
terstate Commerce commission from en-
forcing an order prohibiting railroads and
other carriers from allowing compensation
to owners and operators of elevators for
elevation and transfer Of grain in transit.
The decision was given by Judge Sang
born and was concurred in by Judges
Hook and Adams.
The Injunction suit was filed in st. Louis
by the Peavey Elevator company, which
was supported in It's petition by CONNER
cial bodies of Kansas City, Omaha and
other cities in the middle west
The Interstate Commerce commission
issued the order prohibiting the owners Of
elevators from receiving compensation for
the elevation and transfer Of grain in tran
sit on the theory that such action amounted
to rebate
The order had. 1t was alleged been most
detrimental to the business Of elevators,
tine total value of which is millions OF dol
lars.
The decision today says that "the order
Of the Interstate Commerce commission
which prohibits the allowance or payment
by carriers Of all compensation to owners
and operators of elevators for the elevation
and transfer of grain in transit is beyond
the delegated power Of the commission"

CLEVELAND, O., March 3-In a letter
to H. d. Davis. United States marshal
here, President Taft denies any RESPONSE
bility for the recent election of former
assistant to the attorney general. Wade
H. Ellis, as chairman of the Ohio re-
publican executive committee. The letter
received today follows:
THE White House, Washington, Feb
ruary 2S 1910.
MY Dear Mr.. Davis: l have your letter
of February 20. in which you refer to crlt-
cisms Of me for interfering in Ohio poll
tics by suggesting the selection of Wade
H. Ellis as chairman of the republican
executive committee of Ohio
II am glad to have the opportunity of
assuring you hat am not in the slightest
degree responsbhs for the selection of
Wade II. Ellis as chairman of the repub-
lican executive committee Of Ohio
THE national committeeman, Mr.. oVrys,
and the head of the central committee,
Mr.. rBown. and Mt Williams who was
chairman of the executive committee, came
to Washington, and after what l assumed
was canvass OF the state, notified me
that for the general good of the party l
should release Mr.. Wade H. Ellis from his
position in the Department of Justice
(where he was doing excellent worll) and
allow him to leave the government ser
vice In order to succeed Mr. Williams as
head of the executive committee
Most reluctantly did 1 do this and
did 1t also with the express understanding
that did not desire to interfere with local
poltcs Ohio; that l had no choce for
governor, and that, though Mr.. ellis might
succeed TO the craftsmanship, he would not
while there. represent me or act upon
my suggestions"
What l am most anxious about is that
the republicans of Ohio shall have full and
free expression with respect to the plat
form that they shall adopt and also as
to the candidates TO be selected
II do not think that theer is now in
the state any influence of an organized
character that would seek to prevent such
a full and free expression fthe republic
ans. Certainly shall neither have the
power nor the inclination myself to exert
any influence Of this kind. Sincerely yours.

Cummins-Clapp
Make Report on
Railroad Bill
Insurgei z ubers of Committee
Fight 'ss ce Court and Other
Feat e Taft Measure.

WASHING Arch 3.-Declaring that
the administr = Z 'lroad bill would inn
pair the etfici y the existing statute
and that the Of a court Of com
merce which Il 2. = Ire involves would
mean an expen = ''wholly unneces-
sary," Senators as and Clam today
submitted the minority report of the SEN
ate interstate commerce committee.
The report holds that the creation of a
court the sole work of which would be
to try railroad cases, would be fundamen-
tally wrong and reminds the senate Of the
tremendous influences which will inevita-
bly, surround the selection Of such a tri-
bunal" In the last three and half years,
the minority report asserts, there have been
just twenty-six cases in which such a court
would have had Jurisdiction.
In pointing out some of the things the
senators think make the bill ineffective,
they declare It should include all corpora
tion common carriers and that there is
nothing to prevent holding corporation
from issuing all the stocks and bonds it
may please.
What is termed the most Objectionable
and harmful feature" is the proposed de-
parture from the method of defending suits
brought by carriers to make imperative
the orders Of the commission.
The minority senators claim that the
section to govern consolidation of railway
lines would permit water and rail routes
to consolidate; would allow railroad to
buy up competitive steamship line and
that in effect all the railroads in the
United States could be merged under a
single corporation, provided they would be
operated by electric power.
Senators Cummins and Clapp reported to
further amend the existing law to make
all holding corporations come under the
jurisdiction Of the Interstate Commerce
commission and would make the term
common carrier" embrace all corporations
having controlling interest in common
carrier.
