NEW SENATOR
A PROGRESSIVE
SENATOR KENYON, OF IOWA,
WILL ALIGN HIMSELF WITH
THAT BRANCH OF REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, April 24.-Progressive
Republicans claim to have assurances
from new Senator Kenyon. Of Iowa,
that he will stand with them in the
contest in the senate for committee
places. Therefore, they will go into or
ganization as committee tomorrow,
claiming thirteen of the fifty Republi-
can senators, instead Of twelve as
heretofore.
The general impression is the regu-
lar Republicans will make most, or
maybe all, of the concessions asked. If
they do not the progressives assert
they will appeal to the senate. The
Democratic organization committee de-
cided to fill the Democratic vacancies
on the committee on finance by ap-
pointment of Senator Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, johnson of Maine and Kern
of Indiana. This gives the radical
Democrats a majority of the Demo
cratic representation on that commit
tee.

of overcharge since the date OF the
order issued May 1, 1903, and thereby
saves its bond Of twenty thousand dol
lars which would have been subject to
such claims. Chairman Burr made
public the following statement in re-
gard to the settlement:
WERE WITHOUT FUNDS.
"At the time the railroad company
obtained a temporary Injunction
against the commissions order for a
three-cent rate on the P. & A. division
the commissioners were without funds
to properly obtain the data upon which
to disprove the sworn statements made
to the court when petition was filed
for the injunction, and were unable to
do more than make an answer upon
the points which did not satisfy Judge
Pardee; therefore, the case was al
lowed to drag for several years until
the appropriation for the commission
was sufficiently increased for them to
put expert examiners on the books of
the company in order to ascertain the
correction Of the sworn statements
made by the officers of the company.
This information, however, was OBJ
tanned at a cost of about thirteen thou
sand dollars and with this information
the commissioners have made out their
case and it was clearly shown that the
company had made money instead of
losing, as stated in the petition for the
injunction.

Tallahassee, April 24.-By the agree
ment signed this afternoon at Pensa-

for a three cent rate on the P. & A
division Of the L. & N. was made per-

been pending for eight years comes to
an end.
I Though the railroad company is per-

of the railroad commission regard the
settlement as a victory for, with the
taking of the decree the L. & N. agrees
to put in a three cent rate beginning
May next, not only on the P. & A.
division, from Pensacola to River
Junction, 161 miles, but also made the
concession as to the Florida and Ala
bama branch to Graceville, IL miles
and the Yellow River branch to Crest
view, 25 miles. The concession on the
part of the railroad may be regarded
as an admission of defeat in the final
result of the litigation, which has been
pushed with pertinacity and thorough
ness by the railroad commission under
Chairman r. Hudson Burr. Under the
agreement the railroad company is
saved the possibility OF suits on claims

nearly been completed and 1t was
hoped to have the matter in the hands
of Judge Sheppard for q decision at an
early date, when the proposition was
made to the commission by W. A.
Blount, acting for General Counsel
Stone OF Louisville, that the commits
sioners agree to the railroad company
making application to the court for a
decree in order to permanently enjoin
the order Of the commission and save
the bond as against cost and damage
suits. To this the commissioners
agreed provided a contract was en-
tered into by which the rate would be
operative not only on the P. & A. di-
vision alone, but on the Yellow River
and Alabama and Florida branches to
be made effective early in May.
TO this Mr.. Blount had to get au-
thority from Mr.. Stone; that authority
being given him, the commissioners in
structed their counsel. L c. Massey. to
go to Pensacola and close up the con-
tract with Mr.. Blount representing the
railroad company, the contract to be
filed in the federal court at Pensacola.
This agreement provides that the rail-
road company is to pay all Of it's costs
and the commissioners to pay the
costs for the state. The court costs
so far as the state is concerned amount
to about three thousand dollars. This
has been stubbornly contested case
and the commissioners look upon it as
a great victory"

SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION.

Driven to bay. the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad Company, which
for years has been charging an ex-
orbitant passenger rate over it's lines
of road in Florida, has granted three
cent rate over the p. & A, Yellow
River and Alabama & Florida divis-
ions, to become effective on or before
May 8th, 1911.
Such an agreement was signed in
this city yesterday by Louis c. Massey.
attorney for the Florida Railroad Com
missioners, and W. A. Blount, attorney
for the Louisville & Nashville.
It is the successful conclusion of a
fight which has been carried on in the
United States court for the past eight
years, and the railroad commissioners
and Mr.. Massey will be congratulated
upon the termination whereby the cor
portaion is forced to give the people
residing along these divisions a pas
senger rate which has been denied
them for so many years.
That the bills introduced in the leg
islature by Senator Stokes and Rep
resentative West to regulate railroad
fares in Florida were factors in forcing
the Louisville & Nashville to capitu-
late is without doubt added to the
fact that the commission has been
forcing the fighting in the rate case in
the courts with the view of getting an
early decision.
COMMENCED IN 1908.
It was in April 1903 that the Florida
Railroad Commission issued an order
to compel the Louisville & Nashville
