in Railroad Rates

Washington, May s. Especial
Telegram Am early reduction in

of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion in letter by Representative
Jefferis,
Following a period Of serious ag-
ricultural and business depres-
sion, Nebraska and the middle
west seem to be on the high
road returning to prosperity"
so the Omaha congressman advise,
Mr.. Mcehord, "and there is but one
thing remaining which retards
progress to this end, and that is the
continued high cost of transporta-
ton.
"Your commission has completed
a series of hearings on this import
ant question of rail rates, and you
have at your command a thorough
analysis of the conditions. As one
who is interested in lower transpor-
tation charges, permit me to say,
however, that it is my earnest wish
that a reduction in freight and pas
senger rates be recommended BY
the commission at no distant date.
Such action will do much to insure
a revival Of agriculture and business
in our Nebraska commonwealth, as
well as in our sister states of the
middle west.

on Tariff
Is Charged

ponents Seek to Delay Bill
Until as Near Election
as Possible.
Says Delay Unnecessary

| Washington. May S.-frequent ant
somewhat prolonged discussion in The
senate as TO whether there was unnec
essary delay in the consideration ol
the tariff bill, finally eliminated ir
charge by Senator Watson, repub-
lican, Indiana, that there was fill.
buster against the measure.
There is no other object and nc
other purpose in the measures be-
ing adopted to delay its passage
Senator Watson declared The OBJ
jcct is TO delay the passage OF the
bill as close to the day OF election as
is possible. Nobody is being fooled
and ii | have my way we will be
holding sessions daily from ! ! in the
morning until II at night"
Senator Watson, democrat. Georgia,
interrupted to say that Senator Sim
mons OF North Carolina. in charge
of the democratic fight on the meas
urc, had asked certain minority SEN
ators to present their views OH par
ticular items in the bill, but declared
it was intended that the presentation
should be without filibuster and with
no purpose OF delay.
Unnecessary Delay
Declaring that il was immaterial
as to what agreement had been made
between Senator Simmons and his
democratic colleagues, Senator Wat
son of Indiana declared there had
been unnecessary delay, that the
whole proceedings had been for the
purpose OF filibuster and that so far
as he was concerned it would not be
tolcratcdjn the future.
III the republicans who are re-
sponsiblc to the country for legsla-
ton and who must answer to the
country for their acts, will stay here
to the limit-of their physical endur-
ancc we will quickly pass this BILL
he added.
Earlier in the day both Senator'S
Underwood OF Alabama, the demo-
cratic leader and Simmons, had de-
clared that there was no disposition
on the part OF the democratic side
to delay passage of the bill
Asks About Bonus.
The soldiers bonus also got into
the debate. when Senator Walsh,
democrat, Massachusetts, asked
Chairman McCumber of the finance
committee if the amended bill was
to be reported soon and taken up
Immediately by laying aside. the tar
iff bill temporarily. Senator Nc.
Cumber said this was planned and
that he hoped to have the bill re-
ported within a week.
II assume it will not take more
than a day or so to pass it" Senator
McCumber added. declaring an a.
most unanimous majority was be-
hind it.
Senator Underwood coincided that
a majority probably favored the bill,
but told Senator McCumber that TAX
ing up the bonus measure would Sc
riously delay" the tariff bill. II
would cause demands from other SELL
ators for action on other bills, he
said, and declared that the republicans
should not accuse the democrats OF
delay later.
Senator Watson of Georgia said
the republicans themselves were re-
sponsible for long delay on the tar
if. citing the months taken in COM
mittee consideration. incidentally the
Georgia senator discussed alleged
reckless automobile drivers and traf-
:ic rules in Washington, the, flow OF
The water of the Nile, Amazon and

Genoa, May Shy A. P)-No
American oil town ever had greater
oil excitement than Genoa has had
over the rnmors that various oil
agreements have been entered into
by the bolshevik delegation. Pc
tfoleum is gushing all over the Genoa
conference; nothing has created such
stir since the Germans and Rus
slams handed to the surprised con-
ference their Easter treaty.
Baku literally has been moved to
Genoa, and Azerbaijan has been put
on the map for diplomats who for
mcrly had little idea where that re-
public on the Caspian was located
Certain districts never heard of un-
til this week are being discussed
glibly.
Russians Deny Contract.
! The Russian delegation has denied
that it made any contract for the sale
of its output. Everybody from M.
Tchitcherin down has denied reports
Of all contracts. Col. ]. w. Boyle,
a Canadian officer, who represents
the Royal Dutch and Shell COM
panies here, which are reported to
have signed contracts with the So
viets, has issued repeated denials
from his sick bed.
The British government also has
denied that contracts have been made
with its knowledge, but the French
correspondents will accept no denials
and are describing "the alleged
treachery' which is supposed to.have
given the British control Of the Cau-
casian output 1t was expected that
oil would be the greatest prize which
the Russians could offer at Genoa;
consequently there is willingness to
accept any runlor. and the air is full
of them.
