Senate Refuses to Create Nine Commissioners, SALARIES LEFT AS NOW Morgan Renews Attack on Pipe Line Franchise in Panama Pass Pro vision Today, When Bill May Go Through. WASHINGTON', May 15. With the ex ception of the anti-pans amendment, the Senate concluded It discussion of the railroad rate bill in committee of the whole and, aa soon as that provision shall be disponed of, will take It up In the Sen ate. The general expectation is that the pass question will be disposed of early tomorrow, and the general hope Is that the bill may be passed before the close of tomorrow's session. The greater part of the day was spent in discussing the eighth section of the bill, relating to the personnel of the Interstate Commerce Commission, resulting in the elimination of the entire section and the restoration of the present law, which provides for five commissioners at salaries of $7500. The Senate began its consideration of the bill by taking up Lodge's amendment providing for the increase of the Com mission to nine members aud requiring that one be appointed from each of the Judicial circuits of the country. Hopkins Opposes Increase. Hopkins opposed the amendment on the ground that It would deprive the Commis sion of its National character.- "The Senator from Massachusetts and the Senator from Maine (Hale) seek to Inject sectionalism Into the work of the Commisnlon." he said. He aleo . opposed the enlargement of the Commission. He also found fault' with the proposed in crease of salary for the members of the Commission. "We are running mad in our efforts to increase salaries of offi cial!"," he declared." The amendment received the hearty en dorsement of Martin, who especially com mended the proposition to increase sal aries. Increase the size of the Commission and distribute the members throughout the country. "Does the Senator know any good rea son why we should legislate out of oc cupations good men, such as the present members of the Commission are?" asked Keverldge. and the Virginia Senator eaid that, 1f the amendment should prevail, the President would not be prohibited from reappointing the members of the present Commission. Commission Ift as It Is. The adoption of the amendment offered by Foraker reducing the number of Com missioners to five, which followed the tabling of the Lodge-Hale amendment increasing the number to nine, brought the terms of section 8 back to those of the present law, and in view of this fact Clarke (Ark.) moved to strike out the entire section.' The motion prevailed without debate. The reading of the bill by sections was then completed, but the presentation of itmendmeuts was continued. Among these amendments was one suggested by Car nack, holding common carriers respon sible for damage to property In process if transportation from one state to an mher, when caused by negligence, regard less of all contracts of exemption. The amendment was adonted. Pipe Ijines Common Carriers. Hopkins sought. In the interest of the Vnion Oil Company, to secure a modifi cation of the Senate amendment making common carriers of oil-pipe lines. The Vnton Company has a line across the Is'hmus of Panama, and Morgan had the bill so amended as to apply to that line or other lines on the tethmus. Hopkins moved to reconsider the motion by which the amendment was adopted. Speaking to the motion, Morgan said the concession by the President for a pipe line In the canal sone had an oily, not to say a fishy, smell and was a pe culiarly pronounced case of graft. He (teclared other lines had been denied the same privileges granted to the Union Company, and it was a "sheer, cold usur pation of power." In the course of hie remarks the Ala bama Senator announced his determina tion to desist in his efforts to force Wil liam N. Cromwell to talk further about canal affairs. After a somewhat general discussion the motion was rejected. The Senate then agreed to a motion made by Culberson to reconsider the ac tion by which the anti-pass amendment was ndopted. A number of Senators pre sented substitutes, but none of them had been acted upon when the Senate adjourned. STOOD FAST BY FRIENDS fr-tliuri Refused Promotion Until SCalu'l tiot It Too. NEW YORK. May 15. Carl Schurz. who died yesterday. In 1S53 declined a Major tleneralship, offered by President Uncoln, unless his friend. lieneral . Julius H. Stahel. received equal recognition at the same time. General Schurz wrote to the 3reslilent a letter which he haded to Gen eral Stahel, with a request that he for ward It as soon as he had read It. The letter excited the profound gratitude of General Stahel, and he refused to send it. Ijuer, when President Lincoln com missioned both Schurx and Stahel as Major-Generals. General Stahel called on President Lincoln and placed the letter in his hands.

You will parrton me for this, for It hs always been my principle to be true to my friends and to stand up to a word 1 once have given. I would much rather command the 11th Corps as Brlxwdter-Oeneral or not command It at all than to wear the two stars, setting stride a man who Is worthy of preferment, deserves my friendship and to whom 1 had the honor to carry your promise of pro motion. , General Stahel said lest night: l well remember the day 1 called on the President to thank him for honoring me, I save him the letter which General Schurs liad prerlously written and explained to the I'resiftont that it had never been sent be cause I had refused t-o put it In the matt.

POLITICS ALWAYS DO HARM President Tells Experience In Man aging Civil Service. "WASHINGTON, May 15. President Roosevelt delivered an address at the White House this evening to representa tives of several state and municipal serv ice commissions and of the National Civic Reform League, who met here today for a conference with the Commissioners of the General Government with a view of considering questions for the betterment of civil government throughout the country- The President said in part: After considerable experience in almost every kind of governmental -work, I have never yet found any position or any branch of the service as regards which, the In trusion of political reasons in making ap pointments does not do damage. I have been naturally brought into relation with a great number of Important offices In different branches of the Government throughout this country and I continually have to consider the question of the efficiency with which they are bandied. Practically without ex ception Z find that an office in which there is laxness in the administration of the civil service law. where there Is an effort to cir cumvent the law. where there Is effort to get around It. Is an office in wbieb poor service la rendered; the chance for fraud, for speculation, . for dishonesty, is always greater in such an office than in the office where " the law is-well and faithfully oh-sArved THE WOMAN'S STORE Ladies' Outfitters FOURTH AND MORRISON Leading Farriers COVERT JACKETS AND RAINCOATS One-Fourth Off FOR THREE DAYS ONLY.

NEW GOSPEL DISCOVERED Fragment of Ancient Vellum Telling of Jjife of Christ. NEW YORK. May 16. A cable dispatch to a morning paper from London says: "Drs. Grenfell and Hart, during con tinued researches of the ruins of Oxyr hvneua. whose ancient monasteries some yearg ago yielded the famous log la of Christ, found a iragmrav ui a sruppemea lost gospel, which is now in Queen's Col lege, Oxford. It Is a tiny scrap of vellum, perforated by worms and yellowed by 16 centuries, but the writing- is perfectly legible. It is written in Greek characters, which are almost mlcroscopicaUy minute, with scarlet initials. There are about J00 words. 'It 1 certainly a part of an extant gospel, but its theological value must be left to the tneoiogian. t is unusuaiiy well written from literary viewpoint. It besdns in the middle of a speech. Jesus and his disciples have entered the temple and met a Pharisee, who rebuKes them for omitting some ceremonial of ablution. Jesus asks the Ftiarisee what the latter had done to comply with the cere monial- Th Pharisee reply minutely describes the process of purification, of which no previous authorities have given details. "Then follows a powerful, eloquent de nunciation by Jesus of mere outward puri fication, he savine that he and his disci- plea have been purified by the waters of life. There is alpo a mention of a hither to unknown part of the temple called the Hegneuterian or place of purification. "Theological critics are greatly interest ed in the discovery, which promises a sensation equal to that created by the logia of Christ." CITES ROSE FOR CONTEMPT Kansas Supreme Court May Im prison Wide-Open Mayor. " TOPEEA, Kan., May 16. Chief Justice W. A. Johnston today issued a citation for contempt against Mayor W. W. Rose, of Kansas City, Kan., requiring him to appear before the Supreme Court on June 4, and show cause why he should not be punished for contempt of court. The order does not prevent Mayor Rose from holding his office up to June 4, but he holds it at his peril. If he is able to convince the court that he is within his rights in holding the office, he will escape punishment, but if not, the court is likely to inflict a severe penalty on him for his disobedience. Rose was ousted from office for fail ure to enforce the prohibition law. He immediately stood for re-election on a wide-open plank and was returned to office. Italian laborer Killed in Riot.
