Des Moines. July 30.-The Iowa sena-
tors stand a good chance OF forcing
thru congress at the session now al
most ended very important bill at
fecting the railroad situation. This Is
the Kenyon bill to give the interstate
commerce commission the authority to
establish q uniform freight classifica-
ton for all the railroads. and bill
approprsa ting 100000 for the work.
The senate committee on interstate
commerce on Saturday reported fav-
orahly both these bills
They were compared by Senator
Kenyon last spring after a conference
with Clifford Thorne, who appeared be-
fore the committee and explained the
necessity for the proposed classified
ton. The committee considered the
matter and upon the urgent tnsistence
Of Senator Cummins has reported the
bills. and the senior senator will vir-
tually take charge Of them and defend
them.
Yesterday on his return home from
the east Mr.. Thorne sent out letter
to each and every railroad commission
enclosing copies of the bills and on be-
half Of the Iowa commission and some
others asking that support be given
tho bills.
Purpose Of Measure.
The purpose is to give the interstate
commerce commission the authority to
do legally what Is done by three UNI
official and irresponsible committees of
railroad men. in the three great d.
visions OF the railroad business, and
to secure that uniformity turnout the
United States which Is not possible
now The trouble which arose over Of
fetal classification No. 81 last winter
brought on the subject. The commit
tee which made that classification did
so on the theory that 1t was an at
tempt at securing uniformity. 1t really
raised rates very much. The railroad
commissions are now opposing the
changes made. The proper way is for
the interstate commerce commission to
make the classification.
Now that the bill Is before the senate
1t Is believed It can be passed very
soon.

suicide or has been drowned while in
bathing. He has been in the habit Of
taking what he jocularly termed mud

his clothes leads to various conjec-
