Talks for Eight Hours in Opposition

at S:Oe a. m. took recess until IL
O'Clock. Senator Bristow holding the
floor. Unanimous consent for the re-
cess was requested by Senator Bailey
in order that important conferences
might be held.
The filibuster precipitated by Sena-
tor Bailey produced another long dis
tance talker." The lungs of Senator
Crawford of South Dakota were the
medium through which vote on the
Lorimer case was prevented In the
face OF a determination on the part
of Lorimer's supporters to force the
case to an issue. one way or the other.
Mr.. Crawford spoke for eight hours
and was prepared to continue for an
indefinite period,
After Offering a variety of conces
sions i'm exchange for an agreement to
vote on the Lorimer case. and having
them all rejected. supporters of Sena
tor Lorimer reached the conclusion
that a settlement was impossible.
The filibuster actually began when
Senator Hale failed at $3.50 In the
afternoon to get an agreement to take
a recess until 8 O'Clock to transact
regular business. Mr.. Bailey sought
an agreement then for vote on the
Lorimer case. MIR. Cummins wanted
coupled with the motion an agreement
to vote on the tariff board bill. Tht
two senator's were both unyielding
Mr.. Bailey then announced there wal

Commission Against the Illinois

Washington, March IA notable
principle vas laid down by the inter-
state commerce commission in a de-
cision of the case of the railroad com
missioners of Iowa against the Illi-
nois Central railroad and other car
riers. In brief, the commission holds:
THE net revenues of carrier have
often an undoubted and important
bearing upon the question of the rea-
sonableness of its rates, but the fact
that they are greater than the returns
on ordinary business enterprise is not
sufficient in itself TO justify finding
that the rates are excessive. The value
of the service and other factors that
enter into the construction of rates
must also be taken into considera-
ton"
In this case the complainant urged
that a fare of 80 cents charged by the
defendant lines for the transportation
of passengers over the bridge of the
Dunleith and Dubuque Bridge com
pany, between Dunleith and East Du
buque, in Illinois, and Dubuque, Ia
was excessive and discriminatory.
The commission, in a decision by
Commissioners Harlan, holds that the
rate is not excessive when viewed
from the standpoint of all the carriers
participating In the trafhc.'
Oral arguments were heard by the
commission In the matter of the ad
vance in rates on live stock between
the Mis- souri, and Mississippi rivers.
The rates had been suspended u
give the commission full opportunit,
to consider the reasonab.eness OF the
proposed advance. Large interests
both rail way and industrial, are al
fected by the case, which has beei
pending for several months. 1t i

of it will be reached before late in thu
