MAY CALL EXTRA SESSION Railroad 3Icn See Tliey Must 3Icet Issue. Senate Sub-Committee Will Drart Bill in Tinie for Regular Session! OREGONIAN NEWS -BtJREAU, Washington, May 10. Secretary Taft'8 Speech last night at the banquet o railroad men, considered in connection with the speech pf the President at Denver, Is regarded, as an official an nouncement of the Administration that there will be railroad rate legislation at the next session of Congress. The President's speech was sufficiently sig nificant, but it did not create as much discussion or as much surprise as did the fearless declarations which Mr. Taft hurled into the faces of the men most interested in preventing the pas sage of a railroad rate bill. Handwriting on Wall. His speech was as bold as It was un looked for. When, the biggest railroad men in the country invited Mr. Taft to address them, they expected an or dinary speech of welcome. But when Mr. Taft virtually told that great as semblage of railway men that there must be legislation looking to govern ment regulation of railroad rates, they began to reflect, and to wonder" if this announcement, coming at their feast, was as significant as the handwriting that appeared on the wall at another great feast known to history. Mr. Taft, more than any other pub lic official, is regarded as the mouth piece of the President in the absence of the Chief Executive. His statements" last night are therefore regarded and may be accepted as reflecting the views of the President. Committee Will Draft Bill. The ropinion prevails here that the Senate committee will conclude its railway hearings about June 1 and will then appoint a sub-committee to draft a bill in accordance with the views of the majority. In all probability the sub-committee will not be ready to re port until December, unless the Presi dent makes it plain that Congress will be called together in October, in which event the committee may bring In its bill before sthe opening of the regular session. It may be truthfully said that the Administration is .preparing to force the passage, of a railway rate bill next "Winter and, if the President is as de termined as his speech and that of Mr. Taft would indicate, the Senate com mittee will not be able to block this legislation, even if it should be so dis posed. The House will, of course, pass a rate bill as near the President's views as possible. The trouble will arise in the 'Senate, not in the House. ARMOUR DEFIES FRUIT MEN" Asks Interstate Commission to Facil itate. Fight to Finish. CHICAGO. May 10. The Interstate Com merce Commission today began the hear ing of evidence in the Michigan fruit case. A compromise offered by he Armour car-, lines to reduce the charse for icing cars in the Michigan fruit belt if the Chicago commission merchants would drop the in vestigation was rejected after a lengthy discussion prior to the taking of testi mony. "The claim of the car lines," declared Frank Hagerman, one of the Armour rep resentatives, addressing, the commission, "is that the commission has no jurisdic tion ir so -far as dictating these rates, and jve.ask that an. order be entered im mediately, that -we ' may have an oppor tunity of testing the case In the courts. This Is without doubt the primary ob ject of the complainants, anyway. "I would say this that If you think you have the power, make an order dic tating tnc rate, and we will then have an opporturlty to test the case. Since our compromise has been defied, we are In a position to fight the case to the bitter end." Bequest to Idaho University. BOISE, Idaho. May 10.
