ing h-CumninS Bills Agree
To Give Interstate Commerce
Commission Supreme Power.
LITTLE CHANGE MADE IN
EXISTING LEGISLATION
Federal Body Will Supervise
All State Rates That Dis
criminate Against Interstate
Commerce or Interests.

Washington, Jan. AN agree
ment to give the Interstate Corr
merce commission supreme authority
in fixing railroad rates with power
to suspend and annul rate orders {
state commissions was reached by
the senate and house conferees in
considering the Esch- -Cumnins rail
road reorganization bills.
The Interstate Commerce com
mission under the agreement would
be authorized to substitute its find
ings and rate orders for those of
state commissions when the latter
give an unfair advantage to, or DIS
criminate against interstate COM
merce.
Confer Rate Making Power.
The conferees' agreement provide
for little change in the existing
laws, but more definitely establishes
the supreme rate making power CT
the federal commission and is de-
signed to remove doubt, -aised II;
several cases before the supreme
court, as to tie authority of the cont

FIRST u. S. FOLK LORE
OPERA SUNG IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-American opera
based on folk lore and sung in Eng
lish was presented for the first time
here when the Chicago Opera Co.
produced Reginald De Kovens rip
Van Winkle." The libretto is <by
Percy Mackaye.
The presentation marked the frui-
ton Of plans Of Cliofonte Campaninl
for opera that would be understood
by the American public, but the
maestro did not live to see his dream
come true.
Mr.. Mackaye has treated the ia
miliar legand of the Catskills with
poetic license, and has eliminated the
famous dog, love for which was the
feature of Joseph Jefferson's drama.
Love interest is furnished through
the introduction of new character,
Peterkee, whom Rip eventually mar
ries. A magic flask belonging to
Hendrick Hudson, the contents OF
which restore Rip and Peterkee to
youth, is another new phase.
The title role was sung by Georges
Baklarioff, with Miss Elevyn Her
bert as Peterkee. Hector Dufranne,
as Heudrick Hudson, was another
notable figure in the cast.

Both Sides Maneuvering to
Force Opposition to Make
First Move for 'Compro-
mise on Treaty.
ARTICLE TEN CRUX OF
DISCUSSION IN SENATE
Democrats Appear Determined
To Force Notifications to
Reservations Adopted by Re.
publican Majority.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Eforts to
break the peace treaty deadlock in
the senate were renewed as senators
of both parties began returning from
their holiday trips preparatory TO
the reconvening Monday of con-
gress.
The only surface developments to
indicate the trend of the negotia-
tons were number of conferences
i'll which both Senator Lodge, OF
Massachusetts,, the republican lead
er, and Senator Hitchcock. of Ne
braska. acting leader of the debate,
were prominent figures, though they
did not see one another. All of the
conferees declined to go into de-
tails, but they gave an impression
of hopefulness that the days work
had advanced the situation towards
an agreement.
Both Sides Maneuvering.
Who should make the first open
move for a compromise, however,
continued to be a warmly debated
question. each side apparently ma
neuvering while the negotiations
went on under the surface to force
the other side to be the first to
break from its former position. Sem
ator Lodge still maintained that any
compromise move should come from
the democrats and Senator Hitch
cockV insisted that the initiative
should be taken by the republicans.
Meantime both sides were active
'y at work on proposals they hoped
to use once the wheels OF compron-
iSe formally were set in motion and
were feeling out sentiment on op-
posite sides of the party fence in
preparation for the break which
would bring the whole situation to
a head.
Discussion Centers on Article TO-
Article 10 continued the crux of
all the discussions. neither side hav-
ing found much favor for its round
about proposals on the subject. Next
in promince was the question of
voting power in the league of ma
tons, with the democrats apparent
ly determined to make some modi-
hcations in the reservation adopted
at the last session by the republican
majority. There were a few other
points of difference, but the general
impression seemed to be that an
agreement on article 10 would al
most end the whole controversy.
