DOLLIVER WANTS ACTION Railroad Senators Seek Delay in the Hope of Forcing President to Compromise After Unlimited Debate for Months. "WASHINGTON. Jan. . 5. (Special.) A clash between Uic Administration and anti-Administration forces of. the Senate committee on Interstate commerce is im minent. Tljcy have almost reached the parting of the ways on the question of railroad rate regulations. One of the most spirited controversies that has yet marked these meetings. took place today when the proposition was advanced to de fer final action upon the rate bill until the House of Representatives has made its desires known by parsing a bill. Dol llver, Tillman and Newlands were the only so-called Administration members present. They were outnumbered almost two to one. They objected and declared Xor immediate action. They wanted the work of framing a bill to begin. Railroad Men I'lay for Delay. Chairman Elkins and Aldrich were among those who suggested that it would be better to defer action. Inasmuch as the House was the popular branch, and legis lation could be pushed through under lim ited debate, while no such thing was pos sible In the Senate. They said that opin ion In the upper body could be crystallized more readily if it were known what the House desired. Dolllvcr is striving so to amend his rate bill as to meet certain objections of the Democratic members of the committee. If he can dj this, he can secure a majority numerically, as Clapp and Cullom. two other Republicans, it is said, will support him. Senate 3Iay Force Compromise. Elkins declares there Is no" intention of filibustering in the committee. It Is thfc bolief, however, of the administration men that, if rate regulation Is to be kept out of the Senate for a month or more Jonger, the President's policy may be de feated, because the opportunities for un limited debate and the consideration of the great supply measures will make pos sible chances of a compromise. The House has gone forward with the understanding that the Senate would re port and pass a bill before it would be called upon for action. The House com mittee has had no hearings, while the Senate committee has been occupied the greater part of the Spring and Fall in .hearings. It is thought it may require a xnonth or six weeks to get a rate bill out of the House committee and call It up for consideration. Indications tonight are , that the anti-administration forces have won first blood in the great contest. The same committee will not hold another meeting until next Friday. DODLIVEirS EFFORT AT ACTION Railroad Senators Prefer to Await Action of House. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce met for two hours today and discussed rate regulation in a general way. Senator Dol- Hvcr's bill is regarded as likely to draw administration support, and the author is trying to shape it so as to draw some Democratic support. The Iowa Senator conferred with Senator Tillman for an hour after the committee had adjourned. Dolliver moved to take up bis bill and consider it section by section. He argued that, If the bill could be taken up and all portions on which the committee could ,not agree be voted out, it would furnish 'a basis for an early report to the Senate. He failed to obtain the adoption of his motion or any decision in regard to it, but It was agreed that an early consider ation of the various pending measures should be had. Tills agreement, however, did not take the form of a definite pro gramme. The indications are that the House will pass a bill and that the measure will come to the Senate before a report is had from the committee on interstate com merce. If the House passes the Hepburn bill, that would bring before the Senate a measure almost identical with the Dolliver bill. Dolliver stated today that if his bill is rejected by the Senate committee, he will make a minority report which will bring It before the Senate and that he will move to substitute it for any measure reported by the committee, if such a measure is not satisfactory to the admin If t rat ion. As far as could be learned today the feenate Democrats will not unite on anv bill. Tillman and Newlands. both mem bers of the Interstate commerce commit tee, have bills pending. The former said today that Dolllver's bill was an elabora tion of the ideas that he had advanced in his brief measure, and that he could sup port it, "if no attempt is made to make the Democrats the tail to the President's kite." of the House to frame these measures in such a way that a sum of money, not wnorfflpd. hut not to exceed a certain amount, is to be used for tho particular Improvement. The Senate Invariably has changed such bills so that they appro priate n fixed amount. This system is regarded by the members cf the House committeo as conducive to reckless expenditure, and tnc memoers oi tho committee will refuse to accept such a hill hnroaflpr and nurDOfe forcing the Senate to Indorse measures which will en courage the completion of worn at ine lowest posslLle cost and the saving of bal ances which may remain. This action oi the nouse commmco j in lino Trttti thi c-encral onoosltlon the House is offering to what is declared to be encroachment of the Senate upon its rights.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 5.-Coroncr Mix. after hearing testimony this evening and tonight relative to the death of Charles A. Edwards, of New York, who was found with a bullet wound In his head at the home of Charles A. Hlller, Wednes day morning, declined to make a state ment. A Maxcy Hlller Is held by the Cor oner's Jury as a witness, but Is at home, guarded by a policeman. The Coroner said tonight, however, that no charge of any kind had been made against any per son. A. Maxcy Hlller said late tonight that he would establish an alibi when the proper time came, but refused to discuss the mysterious case further. The witnesses In the Inquest today were Charles A. Hlller and Margaret Reynolds, the latter a servant In the house where Mr. Edwards was killed. No statement wai given out as to the purport of their evidence. Deadly Pistol Not Found. One of the Interesting developments during the day, and which at first looked to be Important, was that Charles A. Hll ler had turned over two pistols to the Coroner for his inspection, the Coroner later giving them to a gunsmith. It has since developed that the weapons were old nrearms which had been a part of a col lection In the Hlller homestead for years. Tho theory that the fatal shot was fired with one of these pistols Is not seriously entertained by the police. Although the police have not given up hope of finding the weapon which caused the death of Mr. Edwards, they are con vinced that It Is nownerc about tne Hlller homestead. Today the Coroner ordered tho search there discontinued. Old 3Irs. Hillcr's Will. A. Maxcy Hlller acted as legal and financial adviser of his mother. He said yesterday he believed she left a will, but he declared he did jiot draw up the doc ument. Mr. Hlller expressed the opinion that the will would be found in an old safe at the. Hlller homestead. The key of this safe, he said, had been missing since the death of bis mother, two months ago. Although the report of the medical ex aminer. Dr. Bartlett. who conducted the autopsy yesterday, has not been given out. It Is understood not to have thrown any light upon the question whether the case was one of murder or suicide. The course of the bullet, which entered the head through the upper part of the ear and stopped Just beneath the top of the skull, showed that It was fired at an angle, and from a point near ttie shoulder, probably. It was possible. It was said, for a man to have Inflicted such a wound upon himself. The body of Edwards was embalmed to day and sent to New York, where It will be" burled in Wood lawn Cemetery. Mrs. Maxcy HIHcr today expressed ab solute confidence In the innocence of her husband. Shot Fired at 2 In Morning. It has been learned that the night watchman at the Graduates Club, on Elm street, a short distance around the corner from the Hlller homestead, heard a pistol shot on the night of the tragedy at about 2 A. M. Wednesday. Mr. Arvlne". counsel for Hlller. said that no writ of habeas corpus would be asked for while his client was In detention un der the Coroner's orders. He said further that Mr. Hlller could have no motive for killing Mr. Edwards, as the latter was not an heir to the property of Mrs. Abi gail Hlller. and his death would not In any way help Mr. Hlller. Indictments Against Sherrlck. INDIANAPOLIS. Jan. 3. Special Judge Wilson today quashed three of the nine Indictments against ex-Auditor of 8tato David E. Shcrrick, who recently resigned on demand of the Governor. All the counts charging conspiracy are removed. Six Indictments remain, charging Mr. Sherrlck with the larceny or embezzle, ment of sums aggregating XS.537. Trains Still Blockaded In Snow. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 5.

Docs Not Approve Schlffs Plan, Which Its Author Explains More Clearly. NEW YORK, Jan. 5. Lyman J. Gage, former Secretary or the Treasury, said to day that he agreed with Jacob H. Schiff In the opinion that a great panic Is In evitable unless steps are taken to remedy the Inelasticity of the existing currency system. He said: I agree positively with Mr. Schiff that the monetary conditions which have existed In this country during the lut 60 days are dis graceful to us as a, Nation, and I further agree with him that a Knnnlng panic U but a matter of time unleos something Is done. The more promptly and effectually this Is done the better for the United States. In my opinion there la no immediate dan xer. but the danger 'Itself In apparent, and if the country sits passive under existing con ditions, the country will suffer. I do not un derstand how any careful and (houghtful financier can fall to realise the perlL I e that Mr. Schiff object to Secretary Shaw recommendation of an emergency cir culation of hearlly.taxed bank notes, holding that eueb a plan would facilitate speculation rather than the legitimate intercuts which stand In need at present. I mar say that I believe Secretary Shaw's idea an exceltent one. with certain modifications. With these modifications. I believe his proposition would provide a cure. I don't care In the hort space of a netfs paper interview to go Into details. My views are embodied in report made by me as Sec retary of the Treasury and in bills already offered in Coagrers. I believe the work of securing proper legislation to relieve the pres ent circulation conditions is a high public duty of the President a very high public dutr. Frank A. Vanderllp, vice-president of the National City Bank, , said today that he believed Mr. SchlfTs speech had no application to the immediate situation. He said: Had Mr. Scfcitf thought that there was any present danger he would not have regarded this as an appropriate time to call pHblic atten tion to that danger. He Is undoubtedly right in saying 'that iqme time oar Hlogtcal CHr reery "system '"111 caoee trevMe. Ithas cased trouble In the last air weeks, but the Indi cations are that the trouble Is about over. A. Barton Hepburn, president of the Chase National Bank and former Con troller of the Currency, criticised Mr. SchlfTs plan as Impracticable and unsafe. "Certainly something has to be done." he said. "Wc have no Government bank to fall back on and some way of Improv ing present conditions must be found." AVhen Mr. Schiff was Informed this eve ning that his plan had been criticised as impracticable, he said that perhaps he had not been understood. He said he had no Idea of trying to Inflate the currency by Issuing paper money against the com mercial paper already in the banks, but his Idea was merely to make more secure the' plan already advocated by Mr. Shaw. Mr. Shaw's plan, he said, was a pro posal to let each national bank Issue 30 per cent more currency than It now Is sued without any security whatever. Mr. Schiff said he merely wished to have that extra 50 per cent of currency secured by the commercial paper In the banks. Mr. Schiff added that he would not to to work out the details of the general plan he had In mind. But he reiterated that, unless some sound scheme of stretching the currency In time of need wefe found by the National Government, the next panic would be a disaster, worse than the United States ever before experienced. Seattle Lights Aro Dear. SEATTLE, Jan. 5. (Special.) Seattle has already used up a bond issue of $S40,- 00), on which interest amounting to 532.125" Is paid annually, to install an electric lighting system.
