NEW RATE HEARINGS FIXED.
Commerce Board Offers Dates for
Additional Testimony.

WASHINGTON, March o+-The Eastern
railways that have applied for authority
10 increase their rates gained a point to-
day when the Interstate Commerce Com
mission announced that II would give the
railway managers another chance TO pre-
sent additional testimony concerning their
financial requirements and also offer them
an opportunity to reply to those who are
fighting the proposed rate advance.
The commission viii hear the railway
managers on March 80 and 81 and con-
tinue the hearings on April 20. 81 and 90
IL necessary. These hearings were fixed
because OF the action OF Clifford Thorn
OF the Iowa Railroad Commission. who
appeared before the Interstate Commerce
Commission as the spokesman of eight
Western States that are hghting the ap.
plication OF tho Eastern railways to In
crease their rates.
As a result OF the decision 20 hear the

Galloway and Others Guy the
Pending Bill and Are
Guyed in Return.
LIBEL ON THE KISSIMMEE
Texan Says 1t Has to Be Insured

the Mississippi.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-This WAS a
day Of hilarity In the House. Members
who have no rivers and harbors In their
districts and those who failed to get
recognition in the pending river and
harbor bill spent tho day attacking the
measure in a spirit Of POPULARITY that got
on the nerves of those who take legisia-
ton seriously.
For example. Representative Galloway
OF Texas. who has been picking on the
river and harbor bill for the past few
days. threw up his hands in horror when
the item appropriatng $4,000 for the
kissimmee River In Florida was reached
GOOD Lord !" said Mr. Galloway, you
want to improve that river4 Why.
I've been Informed that tho water in II

for the Arkansas River was taken up
Representative Murdoch OF Kansas. the
bull Moose captain. jumped up and de-
manded an explanation.
what IL that appropriation for?" no
cried. glaring at Representative Spark
man Of Florida, chairman Of tho River
and Harbor Committee.
"Why. it's to enable an engineer to pull
snags out OF the river" replied MIR.
Sparkman.
.'Snags 70 shouted Mr.. Murdoch. why.
the water in the Arkansas Is generally so
low that you could not raise snags In

New Town on the Mississippi.
The House rocked with laughter over
remark made by Representative Call
laway. The Texan WAS complaining
about the large sums expended on the
Mississippi River.
"Mr Speaker" yelled Mr.. Galloway,
they are trying 10 improve that river as
far up as Duluth"
Mr.. Galloway was reminded that Duluth
Is on Lake Superior and not on the
mississippi. but he insisted nevertheless
that money WAS being dumped into the
Mississippi from one end to the other with
a prodigality that threatened to bankrupt
the Treasury.
Representative Beall of Texas ex-
planned 10 the House why his colleague,
Mr.. Galloway. is opposed to the river and
harbor bill
He is Just naturally opposed TO navl-
CATION. and III tell YOU why" said Mr.
Beall Mr. Galloway recently visited
Panama. He found the going and coming
rather rough and he suffered intensely on
the journey. For that reason he re-
CARDS navigation as an evil that should

Il am Informed that when the vessel
on which Mr. Galloway was travelling

who was standing on the deck looking
pale and wan. exclaimed as he waved
his hand toward the Statue OF Liberty ::
'Good-by. old girl. this Is the last time

Mr.. Palner's state0ent.
The statement issued by Representa-
tive Palmer follows In part:
THE one big. vital issue which fur
nishes the Democrats who will support
the President, In impregnable position, to
my mind. lies In the International aspect
try will not be formed either on the In
depreciation OF the treaty or the question
as TO whether the exemption constitutes
a chip subsidy.
1T will centre around the fact that the
President. charged by the Constitution
with the guardianship Of our international
relations, has said that he cannot per-
form hts office in this respect unless the
obstacle reared by the tolls exemption
clause is wiped out by our action.
THE question therefore resolves itself
into this: DO We question the veracity
OF the President I do not think We can
AFFORD 20 go before the people and say We
do question his veracity. or believing IN
his verracity. do we feel that we can call
into question the soundness of his judy
ment or his intelligence? VIII the country
AS whole support us in questioning the
judgment and intelligence OF a President
with his record?
III We take either position where do we
stand? Charged by the Constitution with
the almost exclusive responsibility for our
relations with the nations OF the world.
the President In the nature OF things. IS
unable to take the whole coutry fully into
his confidence as to international problems
involved and his hopes and plans for
dealing with them.
II have no doubt that. could he tell
us everything in his mind. he would com
mand the united support not only of
Congress. but OF the country at large"
