MAND EXPLANATION.
Mr., Randell Insists that Congressman
Indulge in Practices to Which His
Bill Would Put an End-De.
tends Action in Open Session,
Associated Press,

Washmgton. ID, g., April Tn
endeavoring TO explain that he
meant no reflection on the members
of the house when he said. Thurs
day, that a majority of the members
or congress are engaged in employ
ment that his anti-eorperstion re-
tainer fee bin would stop, Reprcsen-
tatiye c. d, Randoll, Of Texas. pre-
cipitatcd a bitter colliluy yesterday.
That il what said" declared
Rsndejl, referring to the printed
record of his remarks Of Thursday.
He said there Is nothing IN II that
insults any member or questions his
integrity.
81 have no doubt that an investi-
cation would show that a majority
Of the members of this house and Of
the congress are engaged in employ
ments today which the passage Of
that" (referring to his own meas
ure) bill would stop believe it
10 tluc AAdI Hlub-IbuNuS OT perhaps
a larger percentage of those employ
ments are absolutely innocent in
themselves, but the situation is
there. There is the connection of
the officer with~the Institution, the
agent with his principal and the at
torncy with his client" said the
Texan in his argument in open ses-
sion.
Representative James declared
that Randells explanation did not
explain, and Representative Garner,
Randell's colleague, likewise ac-
cepted that construction.
ReT resentative Clayton declared
Randell's measure was ridicule ofthe
house. Representative r. l.. Henry
of Texas endeavored to make a reply
TO Randell but was defeated by the
desire of the house to close the Incl
dent He gave notice that he would
discuss it at some future time.

WHO WILL PRESIDE
OVER CITY COUNCIL
Some Uncertainty as to Whether
Newly Elected Mayor Will Take
Charge of Office Today.

Although there appears TO be some
uncertainty as to who will open the
city council at this afternoons ses-
sion, if The Herald is correctly in
formed, it probably will be Mayor
Arthur b. Cole.
Just when and where the newly
elected mayor took the oath of office
and who administered it, The Her
aid could not learn definitely up to
last night. 1t is understood that he,
with City Marshal CriXell and the
newly elected city secretary and
treasurer, Crisanto Villareal and
Louis Puente. respectively, were
sworn in Wednesday evening. after
the city council had counted the re-
turns from Tuesdays election and
declared the results.
Mayor Kowalski, however, had no
information up TO last night to this
effect, and informed a Herald report
er that, SO far as he knew, he was
still mayor of Brownsville and that,
unless notified today that his sue
cessor had qualified, he expected to
preside over the city council this
afternoon
Alderman Bernard L. Cain, who
was reelected in the third ward, was
sworn in Saturday.
When interviewed by a Herald re-
porter last night, Mr.. Cole could not
say whether he would preside over
the city council today or not.

TIL: FATE Of
TIL: MIDLAND
Grand Junction Very Much Inter.
GSted in the Movements This
Week Concerning Future Of
Midland and the Rio
GTande Railroads,

The Denver papers this week have
been full of railroad stories and ru-
more particularly concerning the fu-
ture Of the Colorado Midland and
the report that the Burlington is con-
sidering purchasing an interst in
the Gould lines.
Concerning the friendly suit filed
by the Colorado & southern a few
days ago, the Denver Republican Of
yesterday morning said in part.
Hoping TO rid itself of the Colora-
do Midland railroad in every respect,
the Colorado and Southern railroad
Tuesday filed a friendly suit in the
New York state courts asking per-
mission to dispose Of its holdings in
the Midland 90 .la llnking house Of
Bla- & Comrany of New York.
This is in line with the action Of
the Colorado q Southern last June
in Withdrawing from the management
of the Midland and throwing the en-
tire burden of operating the road up
on the Denver & Rio Grande. which
owns One-half of the Midland. the
/ Colorado 4 Southern owning the 9TH
l er half.
/ The Colorado G. Southern. it Is
/ stated takes this method of Kidding
! lAStAl VI Nidl II NbuSlutlS an ullut-
sirable affiliation with a property
/ which, conducted jointly, has not paid
| expenses and which can not pay eX-
/ penses except it be conducted by
/ one management and be affiliated
with one road.
Anent the Burlington-Gould ru-
NOR, comes the following dispatch
from New York City:
New York, Jan. 26.-Of the rumor
that the Burlington is considering
purchase Of an interest in the Gould
roads, J. j. Hill, who arrived in New
York today. said, that there was
absolutely no truth in 1t. He added
that the Burlington would not under
take to buy control of any road west
of Denver, but that, as for some
years, it would continue to exchange
traffic with these roads. He also
characterized as nonsense the revival
of the report that the Great North
ern will take over the Northern Pa
cific's interest in the Burlington.
Mr.. Hill did not have anything to
say regarding a traffic alliance be-
tween the Burlington, or its subsi-
diary, the Colorado & Southern. and

the Rock Island on one hand and
the Western Pacific on the other
Such a traffic arrangement is the
true object OF the negotiations that
are on affecting the Western Pacific
and its attainment is regarded as al
together probable by persons best
informed on Hill railroad affairs
The probability of such an ar
rangement has been the basis for the
recent recovery in Denver & Rio
Grande and for today's strength in
Rock Island
