FAVOR RAILROAD
APPRAISAL PLAN
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee Backs I. C. c. in
New Inquiry.

4 physical valuation OF railroad prop
erty in the United States Is authorized in
a bill ordered reported yesterday by the
House Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce. The bill enlarges
the power of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. and empower that
body to make a valuation of railroads as
basis for adjusting and fixing rates.
The commission is also authorized to in
quire into the stock and bond issues OF
railroads. the connection OF banking cor
porations with railroads. and the infiu-
ences that have been at work in recent
years in reorganizing railroads.
Dividing on strict party lines. all the
Democrats voting in the negative. the
committee voted down a mouUff so amend
ing the bill as TO empower the Interstate
Commerce Commission to exercise super
vision over all issues OF railroad stocks
and bonds.
Doubt is expressed that the bill re-
ported will become a law at this session
of Congress. II has been estimated that
a physical valuation Of railroad property
would cost approximately 100000 The
bill will be without any practical effect
unless an appropriation is made available
to put II into force. 1t is the understand
ing that the bill was reported as a politi-
cal measure by the Democrats, and that
no effort will be made to pass II at this
time

ASK AMPHITHEATER
FOR ARLINGTON N
Senate Committee Favors Con.
struction of $750,000 Me-
mortal at Cemetery.

The project backed by various patriot
ic organizations t9 establish a $50. 600
ampitheater at Arlington as national
memorial was aided yesterday when the
Senate Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds favorably reported the bill
introduced by Senator Sutherland max
ing provision for the structure.
The Sutherland bill creates a super
visory commission. comprising the Sec
retary of War. the Secretary Of the
Navy. the Superintendent of the Capitol
Grounds. and former Judge Ivory q.
KImbaIl, as representative OF the G. A.
r. forces to supervise the work Of con-
struction.
The plans contemplate under the ampi-
theater the erection of crypt where the
distinguished deaf Of the country would
be buried. The idea is modelled after
the plan of Westminster Abbey. in Lon
don, and the Pantheon, in Paris. The
action on the part OF the committee fol-
lowed a hearing at which numerous
members OF the C. 4. r.. with the Span
ish War Veterans and other associations,
appeared in favor OF the measure. The
question of reporting the Root bill pro-
viding Sor the erection of a 5000, 600
George Washington memorial hall at
Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue
will he discussed at a special meeting
to-day.

HICHBORN'S BODY
BURIED In BOSTON
Twelve Mourners Attend Last Rites
for Washington Lawyer
Who Killed Self.

Boston. March 2e.-The body Of Philip
Hichborn. the Washington attorney who
was driven to suicide by his wifes
elopement with Horace wyIie. was
brought to Boston to-day. The train also
brought Mrs. Hichborn. his mother. and
Capt. p. S. PesrsaIl, L. S. n, his broth
er-in-law, at whose home Hichborn shot
himself.
In heavy rainstorm the party was
driven to a downtown hotel, while the
body was taken to Mount Auburn Gene
tery.
The funeral was one OF the saddest
ever witnessed in the little chapel at
Mount Auburn Cemetery. The carriages
with the mourners arrived in the dTiz-
cling rain. There were only four car
riages. The funeral services were pri-
vste. so only the immediate relatives
and a few close friends were present.
There were just twelve mourners IN
the little chapel when the Rev. p. H.
Schraf, Of Charlestown. recited the sim
pie ceremony Of the Episcopal Church
for the dead. There was no eulogy;
there was no reference made by the min
lister to the tragedy or the romance
which caused the suicide
The relatives present were Mrs. Philip
Hichborn, mother of the dead man. P. S.
Pearsall, his brother-in-Iaw; Henry
Hichborn, of Revere, an uncle: Misses
Almeda. Ellen, and Phyllis Hichborn, and
Henry Hichborn, all OF Revere, cousins
OF the deceased.
1t is thought by relatives and friends
in Washington that Mrs. Gilmore Hoyt
Hichborn, who eloped with Horace Wy
lie. does not know of her husbands sui
iG he will k,a-
first intimation of his death through
European newspapers. inasmuch as it is
not thought that any cablegrams have
reached her.
Mr.. Pearsall. on his return from Bos-
ton, will stop in New York to attend the
funeral OF his sister, who died in that
city on Wednesday afternoon.

WILSON STRONGEST,
DECLARES HENRY
Rules Committee Chairman Says
New Jersey Candidate Is
Backed by Bryanites.

That Gov. Woodrow Wilson could COM
mand a hundred more votes in the cleo
toral college against President Taft than
any other Democrat now proposed for
the Democratic Presidential nomination
is the opinion of Representative Robert
l.. Henry. of Texas. the chairman Of the
House Rules Committee, who is just
back from Lincoln. Nebr.. where he paid
personal visit to Hon. William ].
Bryan. and attended the birthday anni-
versary reception in his honor.
Mr.. Henry, who Is one of the leaders
OF Democracy and prominently spoken of
as the permanent chairman of the Bal
timore convention, ascertained from the
hundreds of Democrats he met on his trip
West that the sentiment OF Democrats in
the Northwestern States-Nebraska, Min
nesota, the Dakotas, Iowa, Wisconsin.
and Michigan-is Overwhelmingly in favor
OF the nomination of Gov. Wilson.
Speaking of his trip. Mr.. Henry, who
is very optimistic about the outlook for
progressive Democracy, said:
Il talked to a great many progressive
Democrats from various parts of Ne
braska and surrounding States 1 found
these Democrats very much elated, and
hundreds Of them expressed the belief
that with the nomination of Gov Wood
row Wilson. our party can sweep all
that section Of the country against Mr.
Taft, who is certain to be the Repub-
lican nominee. There were more than a
thousand Democrats present at the Bryan
banquet. and a great preponderance of
them were for Gov. Wilson's nominal
tion."

SIXTH DISTRICT
FAV0RS BLAIR
Nonpartisan Movement to Enter
Lawyer in Race for
Congress.

a spontaneous and nonpartisan move
ment for Gist Blair, lawyer well known
IN this city, has been started in the
Sixth Congressional district Of Maryland,
with view to entering him in the COM
ing Congressional race. To this end a
mass meeting has been arranged for next
Tuesday night, when residents of the
county will join in the public demonstra-
ton to be held at Silver Spring.
Mr.. Blair is well known throughout
Montgomery County. Recently he was
one OF the few men who realized that the
German scandal in the Democratic party,
Immediately preceding the last guberna-
torial election. would result in a victory
for Goldsborough.
The sentiment which has crystallized in
a determination to compel Mr.. Blair to
enter the race from his district is the
result of the strong reform movement
throughout Montgomery County. 1t is
the desire of most of the residents that
the district send as its next Congress-
man one who is independent OF the
Democratic machine, and they believe
that with the present demoraIized state
of the ''old liners" a strong, progressive
candidate can win.
There will oe an old-fashioned turnout
at Silver Spring on Tuesday. The old
family home of the Blairs, who have been
known throughout Maryland for genera
tions, is in that town.
