MIGHT HAVE COME EARLIER
Admlrer Of Musician Must Have Felt
Truth Of the Answer He
Received.

signor Puccini. although celebrated
all over the world for his operas, is
still young man. On the subject Of
his early success the Italian composer
said recently In New York:
II have been very lucky. Recogni.
tion for artistic work comes 30 often
after one is too old to enjoy 1t.
Il remember one of my country
men, centenarian, who. had he died
before seventy. would never have seen
any Of his operas produced. Luckily
he lived to 30 great an age that he re.
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough,
though, this splendid artist regretted
his years of obscurity and neglect,
and he frequently spoke bitterly OF
his bad fortune.
Once. at the very end of his long
life, an Englishman entered his box
at the opera In Rome, and said re.
spectfully:
"T have travelled all the way from
London to see the author of my ia.
vorite opera
The veteran composer. with ma.
licious smile, replied:
Well, my friend, l have given You
plenty Of time to get here"

Washington.-The naval appropria-
ton bill was taken up Monday when
the Mann filibuster In the house on the
omnibus war claims bill came to an
end with the adoption Of gag" rule
and the passage Of the omnibus bill.
This rule was made to cover all bills
carrying appropriations. 1t provides
that they can be carried under suspen.
sion Of the rules when supported by a
two-thirds vote. This will restrict de-
bate on them to 40 minutes.
The Democrats accepted the rule, as
the two-thirds vote necessary gives
them q veto power over the proposed
suspension. Chairman Dalzell Of the
committee on rules first presented It
with the provisions that majority Of
the house could suspend the rules. The
Democrats protested so vigorously that
the modified rule was brought out.

FIGHT ON FLOOR Of HOUSE
McndeIl Of Wyoming and Wickersham
Of Alaska Come to Blows Over
Alaska Bill.

Washington. Violent language
doomed and blows were struck in the
house Thursday when Representative
Mondell Of Wyoming and Delegate
Wickersham Of Alaska clashed over
the formers bill for leasing coal lands
In Alaska.
Delegate Wickersham, in opposing
the Mondell bill, quoted from his
statement from the interior depart
ment.
THAT is q lie," said Mondell, in an
undertone. turning in his seat to
speak to Mr.. Burt of South Dakota.
You are liar If you say that, :"
shouted Wickersham, who had over
heard.
Mondell turned to find Wickersham
standing over him, pale in anger,
with clenched fist ready to strike.
Foster of Vermont leaped forward
and grasped Wickersham by the
throat in desire to pull him away.
Don't try to choke me-" yelled
Wickersham, turning about and strik-
ing at Foster in an effort to break his
grip. Poindexter of Washington tore
Fosters hands loose.
At this juncture the mace made its
appearance and over the shouts of the
angry men and their excited friends
was heard the steady crash, crash Of
the speakers gavel.
Both men then apologized to the
house for the language used and the
house killed the bill that had caused
the trouble. After the adjournment

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BOARD
vEToEs ADvANcEsiN FREIGHT
RATES. .
VICTORY FOR THE SHIPPERS
Lines Are Ordered to Reduce First
Glass Charges While Tariffs Of
Second Grade Must BE
Reduced.

Washtngton.-The shippers won Q
sweeping victory in the western and
eastern railway rate cases in deci-
sions handed down Thursday by the
interstate commerce commission.
The railroads are prohibited from
advancing first-class rates and they
are ordered to reduce second-class
rates.
The commission shows that at the
moment when the railroads were ar
guing their justification for a raise
they were eminently prosperous. The
decisions we're by unanimous vote of
the commission.
The report, written by Commission.
er Franklin X. Lane. is an elaborate.
optimistic review of the American
railway situation.
Despite what the railroad reports
say of the considerable increase In
wages and the increase in the cost Of
fuel, the last six months of the year
1910, in which the new wage sched-
ules were In effect, the report shows
for the carriers the largest operating
income they have ever enjoyed.
The report opens with a considera-
ton Of the effect railroad rate regula-
ton has had upon the revenues Of the
carriers, in which 1t is shown that, by
reason of the law and It's enforcement,
the railroads have been protected
against each other. AS result the
revenues Of the carriers have in
creased under regulation and their
dividends and their surplus have also
increased as in no other period Of
their history. In the past ten years
the railroads of the United States
have borrowed over four and one-half
billion dollars, OF twice the amount
of the national debt at the close of the
Civil war.
This is evidence Of the faith the
public has in. these properties. The
rate Of dividends and the total amount
has increased more rapidly than the
additional mileage built. The west
ern roads have increased their sur
plus over 100 per cent. In ten years.
Comment is made upon the fact
that the railroads are now seeking to
AuCICdbc IdISb sWulCu were voluntarily
made by them under competitive con-
ditions and which they admit could
not be increased under such condi-
tions The carriers are seeking to
gain the benefits Of protective legis-
lation and at the same time asking
for free hand and criticizing the
law for the restraints which 1t casts
upon them. It is found that the car
riers do not need larger revenue for
purposes of maintaining their credit
or insuring them against temporary
adversely.
The report closes with these words:
we shall ask the carriers to with
draw the proposed tariffs and, If such
action is not taken, the commission
will further suspend these rates and
make an order directing the mainte-
nance Of present rates for period of
two years"
