 Citizens Not to Be Represented by
 Counsel at Inquiry.
 Representative Bishop of New Ha- ven asked Senator Blakeslee if at the hearings it would be permitted citi- zens to be represented by counsel, in order that the county commissioners and witnesses might be questioned. Senator Blalzeslee replied that as a mel. Der of the committee he would op- pose having attorneys at the hearings to represent citizens. He believed that If any citizen had any statement to make, they should make it, but there was no reason why that citizen should have lawyer to represent him. Rep- resentative Bishop replied that he thought it was an outrage if a citizen of the county who was willing to pay for an attorney was not given the right to be represented. He did not believe that tle county Shoul3 hire lawyers but he did believe that it was the right Of any or all the citizens of the coun- ty in an inquiry of this kind to appear in person or by counsel.
 Senator Chase of Waterbury SUD- ported MT. Bishop, declaring that it was only fair that a citizen having the welfare of the county at heart to take the means to bring out a full inquiry of the conditions existing in the coun- ty mana cement.

ALLEGED JOKER" DISCOVERED
 IN SENATE RAILROAD BILL.
Would Permit Roads to Engage in Relating Without Fear of Proseou- ton.

Relating Without Fear of Proseeu-
 ton.
 Washington, June 6. -- Democratic leaders in the house today discovered an alleged joker" in the senate ran- road bill which they say would permit the railroads to engage in rebating without fear of prosecution. It is in the form of five line proviso to that section of existing law which pre- gcrDbes a penalty Of s250 for failure to quote a rate to a shipper on request or for misquoting a rate.
 The theory of the democratic mem bers of the house who pointed out thie feature of the bill pointed out that it would open the way for railroads Co give rebates under the guise of paying damages to a shipper. Lawyers of the senate, both republicans and demo- crats, ridiculed the suggestion and said it was probably advanced to cast doubt upon the wisdom of accepting the sen ate amendments to the railroad bill without a conference.
 Representative Underwood of Ala bama said the senate amendment would effectually restore to the rail- roads the power to grant rebates.
 "The Standard oil fine Of S29.00O. 900 was imposed as the result Of a mis- quoted rate" said Mir. Underwood. 'ff this section were to become a law Cine railroads might misquote a rate to @ shipper and pay to him, as damages. anything they wished"
