FIGHT R. R. PROBE
Railroads Investigated tt
Death, Say "Antis."
Progressive Republicans May
Defeat Wilson's Plan.

Washington, Jan. 26.-Two forces
hostile to each other are combining in
the senate to prevent the general in
vestigation of the railway situation
which President Wilson has asked.
They are the senators who think the
railways have been investigated to
DEATH and those who believe correct
legislation, not investigation, is what
is needed. With their votes combined,
apparently they will be able to defeat
Senator Newland's resolution calling
for the investigation.
Leaders who think more investiga-
ton is not needed are in general Pro
gressive Republicans. Joined with
them are a number of Democrats in
Guiding Senator Lewis of Illinois, and
Senator sherman of Illinois, who prob
ably will assume leadership of those
opposed to either legislation or fur

led the fight for the ship bill in the
senate in the last congress.
What New Bill Provides.
As result of the conferences to-
day details of the shipping bill which
will be supported by the administra-
ton became known for the first time.
1t provides that the government shall
purchase or build ships and then lease
or sell them to corporations or private
individuals. Only in case no one Of
fers to lease or buy the ships does the
bill allow the government to operate
them.
The government could buy back the
ships at q reasonable price for naval
auxiliaries in time of war. A bond
or constructor of ships would be pro-
vided by the bill which also includes a
shipping board to control shipping
rates.
New Philippine Bill.
An amendment to the Philippine
bill. said to be acceptable to President
Wilson, was submitted today by Chair
man Hitchcock of the Philippine COM
mittee.
1t would provide that not more than
four years, nor less than two years,
after the meeting of the new Filipino
legislature the president should with
draw the sovereignty of the United
States and proclaim the independence
of the Filipino people, provided he
should find that proper steps had been
taken to secure by peaceful means an
independent Philippine government
republican in form. stable in charac-
ter. and prepared to enter into such
binding agreements with the United
States as the president may deem
necessary for the protection of recog-
nized rights and interests of Americans
and other nationalities in the islands.
Could Revoke Plan.
The president would be empowered
to reserve naval bases, coaling stations
and other property required by the
United States for military purposes.
The amendment would further provide
that, if at any time before the expira-
ton of four years, the president
should find that proper steps had not
been taken to establish an independ-
ent government or If he should be
unable to negotiate agreements for
protection of American property. the
president would be authorized to de-
lay recognition of Philippine indie
pendence until the American congress
could consider the case.
The amendment would authorize the
president to invite cooperation of the
principal nations of the world to main
tain the Philippine independence That
falling the president would guarantee
independence on behalf of the United
States alone for five years.
For Post Roads.
The Shackleford good roads bill
following it's passage by the house by
vote of 2S1 to 81 went to the sem

meet with strong opposition. The
measure carries an appropriation of
s25. 900. 600 to aid states in improving
their post roads
No New River Ventures
The rivers and harbors committee
voted today to include no new projects
in the forthcoming bill. but to con-
fine appropriations solely to projects
already authorized, thus limiting the
total to approximately $4,000. 900.

cago, and Judge Ebert II. Gary,
chairman of the board of the United
States Steel Corporation. advocated
advertising of the steel business. Mr.
Jones specifically urged a million-dol-
lar advertising campaign to stimulate
demand for steel products, as cure
for business depression. Advertising
on a large scale would be a radical
innovation for the steel trade. But
the scheme appealed to the members
of the institute, and doubtless it will
be carried into effect. Who can
doubt that the results will be profit
able to the advertisers?

Lansing the fighters.
The two governments today were
squarely opposed on vital point in
the negotiations. the admission by
Germany of the illegality and wrong
