Amendments to Railroad Bill Offered
 and Voted Upon.

Washington, May 5.-The railroad bill was before the house during the entire session today and many amend ments were offered and voted upon. An amendment by NIT. Know4and of California, providing that when a rail- road reduces it's rates, because of water competition it cannot raise them un- less the interstate commerce commits = sion finds the proposed increase rest upon changed conditions other than the elimination of water com petition, was adopted.
 Section 12, permitting railroad con- solidation under certain conditions, was discussed and many amendments were offered to it. An agreement was reach ed by which this section and all amendments thereto shall be voted up- on after one or two hours hours of discussion.
 MT. Mann in charge of the mea sure expressed the hope that the bill would be finally disposed Of next Tuesday,
 The railroad bill was laid aside in the senate today and Senator Dixon asserted it was the practice to charac- teriZe as an "insurgent" every senator who did not agree with what the so- called regulars demanded He said that the regulars were as much in- clined as others to ally themselves with the democrats whenever an advantage was gained by so doing. Senator Bourne of Oregon praised the election laws of his state, which provoked a general discussion of rep resentative government.

OLEO SALES
Increasing in Waterbury, 1t Is Claim
 ed-The Reason Why.

Says the Waterbury Republican,: Oleomargarine may not have become more popular with the consumer in this city because of its intrinsic gas tronomic value, but the fact is off cialIy stated that the sales of this form Of butter are increasing through out the city and that more and more of the dealers are applying for licenses to retail it to their trade. Even at the present time, when the fiscal year for the internal revenue department is nearly over. licenses are being taken out from the division deputy in this city.
 At the present time there are up wards of twenty wholesale and retail dealers engaged in the business of serving oleomargarfne to their GUS toners, who do not find 1t delicacy but regard it as a necessity, because 1t does not empty their pocketbooks. as does the price of butter at the high level that 1t has maintained through out the winter and spring.
 It is the high price of real butter and the general distaste on the part of the consumer for renovated butter. however cleverly 1t may be disguised and treated with bacteria destroyers. that has led to the increase in the number of those who Yend -oleo and

WAGE INCREASE FOR N. Y. c.
 TRAINMEN AND CONDUCTORS
Decision Rendered by Arbitrators |
 Clarke and Morrissey.

New York. May 5.-Approxinately 5000 trainmen and conductors employ ed on the lines of the New York Ger tral railroad east of Buffalo will re- ceive wage increases averaging 30 per cent. by a decision rendered today by E. E. Clarke and P. H. Morrissey, ar bitrators in the controversy between the railroad and it's employees. The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad and the Delaware and. Hudson railroad and their employees are like wise bound by the ruling which, broad ly speaking, takes the recent Balti- more and Ohio settlement as a basis. The schedule of wages which the Bal timore and Ohio granted not long ago was adopted by the unions as stan dard which they have been attempting g to enforce on all the lines in the east ern territory.
 The schedule fixed today is retroac tive and the men will receive back pay from April 1. It is estimated that the increase will mean an additional ex penditure by the Central of $2.00o, 900.

BALLINGER CONCLUDES
 HIS DIRECT TESTIMONY
His Every Official Act Has Been
 Strictly in Line With Duty.

Washington, May 5.-Secretary Bal finger concluded his direct testimony at the BalIinger- -Pinchot hearing this afternoon with the statement that his every official act had been with the sole idea of fulfilling his trust.
 'I defy anyone to put his finger on anything that I have done while in the public service which was not in line with my duty and in accordance with my truSt,'' he said.
 As though in acceptance of the chal- lenge, Attorney Brandeis, counsel for l.. R. Glavis, one of Ballinger's chief accusers, then took up the cross exam nation of the witness. Within five minutes the expected clash between them had taken place and on his very first question MT. Brandeis had to ap- peal to the committee to request MT. Ba1Hnser to answer it.
 The question involved Postmaster General Hitchcock as the official pie distributor" of the administration. MT. Brandeis wanted to know why MT. Ballinger wired Chief of Field Division Schwartz to-wait until he had talked with Hitchcock before he made the ap- pointment of ten special agents to be employed in the Alaskan coal cases in yestigation. MT. Balhnger said that fact had no political significance and declined to answer more explicitly. A wrangle between MT. Brandeis and the members of the committee ensued and the result was record vote by which
  cided that MT. Ballinger need not an- swer more fully.
 NIT. Ballinger admitted the now ia nous Associated Press interview, in which he declared after his return to Washington, subsequent to the publi- cation of the GIavis charges, that The proposed to kill some snakes" He also admitted he mad reference to Glavis, who he had made up his mind, ought to be killed as a snake" He said Glavis "loafed on the job" in conduct ing the Ala skan cases and that he never thought as much of Glavis abil- ity as some others in his department did.
 Early in the day MT. Ballinger con tradicted two statements made by for mer Secretary Garfield. He testified also that since Pinchot's dismissal there had been a complete reversal of the forestry policy of the government and he said he believed 1t would keep a great many Americans from emigrat- ing to Canada and would result in the development of many portions of the forest reserve.
 A hitherto unpublished letter of the of Sept. 13, 1909, was read. In it the president expressed a desire to retain Pincf1ot, but said his weakness lay in ''his inability to credit high and hon. orable motives to those who differ with him as to his method of doing things" The president in the letter requested MT. Ballinger to remain silent under criticism and the secretary said this was the reason he did not follow his ma tural impulse to answer the charges against him.
