DEBATE ON RATES TO BE OR Senate Cannot Reach Vote on Bill Till Far Along in May. SMOOT CASE COMES FIRST Rate Bill Vill Be Pushed Aside -Till Mormon Is Disposed or Sena tors "Will Make Speeches? for Campaign Use. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ioRton. March 11. The railroad rate fight will probably begin in earnest on the ar of the Senate tomorrow. There is no other important legislation now pond tag that can reasonably be interposed to cemmttnd prior consideration. The state hood bill, the Philippine bill, the Panama blM and the Santo Domingo treats are H out of the way for the time being, at least. and there is nothing to prevent O0trt1tiiou.s consideration of the rato bill. t Jast until the Smoot case is reported front the committee on privileges and 4eetions. T4h Smoot cae involves a question of klgboet privilege, and under Spnate rules wfM take precedence over everything else. When" it wines from committee, it will reeit immediate consideration, unless Sonator Smoot or Chairman Burrows agree to let It go over, .which is not probable. There is talk that the Smoot 3a will be reported the last of March jt nrt of April, and if this proves to be the case, the consideration of the rato Mil. except in the morning hour, will have to be postponed, unless a vote can be had before the Smoot case comes up. This o&so will certainly lead to two weeks discussion, possibly twice that mack, and it is safe to predict that if the Senate does not vote on the rate bill prior to taking up the Smoot case, tho rate bill is opt to be under consideration as late as May 1. perhaps longer. Want' Speeches for Campaign Thore is a possibility, but not a prob xbllity, that the light on tho rate bill nay suddenly collapse after a couple of tvnks of debate, if it becomes obvious that tho opponents of the Hepburn bill aannot carry their point and secure the adoption of an unlimited court review intendment, they may lie down and let the bill go through, but the chances arc against an early vote. Even if the rail road Senators should capitulate, many friends of honest rate legislation want an opportunity to express their views in rder that they may have their speeches circulated in the coming campaign. This te true of Democrats and Republicans aMke. The Domocrats have been quick to realize that the rate bill has furnished thorn bettor campaign material than they have had to "work with in many years. They arc standing for the kind of a rate bill that President Roosevelt advo cates; the Democrats in the Senate know that without their aid such a bill could not be enacted. They appreciate the general demand for such a law. and -when it is passed they will be able to point to the fact that its enactment was made possible only by their votes. For this rason a large number of Democratic Senators are anxious to speak In advoc acy of the bill, that they may circulate their speeches as compaign literature. Those Republican Senators who favor an honest rate bill are Just as anxious to go on record, so that their party cau have rate literature in the- coming cam jaigns. "While they realize that the Democrats hold a valuable strategic po jsition in tho rate fight, they do not want it to go forth to the country that the rate bill was a Democratic measure, or that its passage was due entirely to Democratic votes. So there is to be a flood of Republican oratory In support of the bill. Mny Reach Vote In May. 'Three weeks Is hardly enough time to acommodate all the rate speeches that are in contemplation. The average speech will probably occupy a day. and five leg islative days in a week would afford op portunity for only 15 speeches before the Smoot case -Is brought in. For this roa wn 1t is probable that a vote on the rate bill will not be reached until some time In May, unless the managers of the Smoot case should consent to hold off until the railroad problem has been solved. With the exception of Senator Foraker. ever Senator is now supposed to favor oic kind of a rate bill. Mr. Foraker is dead against rate control of ans kind. The Democrats nnd many Republicans stand with the President in support or hc Hepburn bill, with an amendment permitting appeals to tho Circuit Court "for the purpose of determining only whether the Commission acted within its authority and whether the order of the Commission -violates the Constitutional rights of the railroad." The railroad Senators, mostly Republicans, arc still demanding an unlimited appeal amend ment which, it is conceded, would com pletely destroy the effectiveness of tho bill, and defeat its purposes. The entiro fight may therefore be- said to center around the appeal amendment, and it is up to the Senate to decide whether thero shall bo limited right of appeal, as pro posed by the President, or unrestricted appeal, as demanded by the railroad Senators. MOSES IS . DEPOSED. New Leader In Zion Announces a' Change of Policy. CHICAGO, March 11. Wilbur Voliva the new deputy general overseer .of Zion City, speaking before 1300 Chicago xaerabers of the church today, an nounced several striking departures from the policy of John Alexander Bowie, to be inaugurated in the man agement of Zion City and Its Indus tries. Tho overseer spoke reverentially of Dewie as the founder of the church, but condemned the administration afese which are said to have existed under his government. Among: the reforms which are prom te are the abolition of fetaalo labor In the lacti factory aaa ether shops, the etaMiBhent of aa agricultural com nuntty la conaeetlaa with Zion City; OUT courteous treatment of newspaper cor respondents; the toleration of other religious creeds and a relegation of all sensational and emotional .religion. The new overweer led his hearers to believe that Dowic had been perma nently deposed. "Concerning: the gen eral overseer we will attend to that at the proper time," said Voliva. "Moses led tho children of Israel out of Egypt and afterward for good reason tne Lord set Moses aside. Do some think ing. Read between the lines."

RAILWAYS FEEL EFFECTS Gold Standard Bringing Foreign Money to Mexico. MEXICO CITY. March 11. The rail ways are feeling the good effects of the gold standard established here nearly a year ago, and show a gain in net earn ings. The gold standard is also power fully aiding the movement of foreign capital here for investment. Freight Traffic Congested. MEXICO CITY. March 11. The freight traffic here has congested the storehouses of the railways, and thore is much dif ficulty In handling freight quickly, though the situation is becoming easier. There is also very large passenger and excur sion traffic. MINERS' DEMANDS DENIED (Continued from Page 1.) injur;' to hta own health and consequent In Jury to Roclety.

Mitchell Will Not Talk. President John Mitchell, of the United Mlncworkers of America, left today for Indianapolis, where he goes to prepare for the convention ,of the mlncworkers March 15. Mr. Mitchell de clined absolutely to say anything re garding the reply of tho operators, re fusing the demands of the miners. Prior tn Mr. Mitchell's dnnarture there was a long meeting- of the znin- I s-c' onmmlMnn all nf lio minora rn. ' resentatlves left New York tonight, some going to their homes and others to the points in Pennsylvania, where they will discuss the operators' reply with the vxfrlous district leaders. NEGOTIATIONS BROKEN OFF Confirmation of Action of the An thracite Operators. INDIANAPOLIS, March 11. Secretary Treasurer W. B. Wilson, of the United Mlneworkers of America, tonight oon ilrmed the report that the anthracite operators had broken off the negotiations which have been in progress with a com mittee of their employers in New York during the last two weeks. Mr. Wilson said he had been advised late Saturday night that such a state ment would be Issued today from New York. He refused to discuss the effect this action of the operators of the an thracite field might be expected to have in regard to the coming meeting of tho miners and operators to be held in In dianapolis this week and next. Under the "Ryan resolutions, adopted by the miners at the close of their na tional convention In February, this move by the anthracite mineowncrs would seem to forestall any action that might be taken by a Joint conference of the bitu minous operators and miners. The Ryan resolution provides that no contract shall be signed in any district under the Jurisdiction of the United Mine workers until satisfactory agreements are reached in all the districts covered by the organization. CONFERENCE WITH MITCHELL Commissioner Ncill Believed to Have Been Sent hy President. PHILADELPHIA March 11. Charles P. Ncill, United States Commissioner of Labor, and President John Mitchell, of the Miners' Union, held a conference here today. Neither Mr. Neill nor Mr. Mitchell would disclose the nature of their conference, Mr. Mitchell saying that It would not bo wiec to do so at this time. It is believed, however, that Mr. Neill came here to sec Mr, Mitchell at the Instance of President Roosevelt. Neither Mr. Mitchell nor Mr. Neill made any secret of their belief that the sit uation In the anthracite region is grave. "It Is as bad and as critical as it can he without coming to an open rupture," said the Commissioner of Labor. "Tho outlook is serious," "nvas Mr. Mitchell's only comment. After the conference Mr. Mitchell left for the West and Mr. Ncill returned to -Washington. Miners Greatly Disappointed. SHAMOKIN. Pa., March 11. News hero today that the anthracite coal companies would not grant a single demand of the United Mlncworkers was received with surprise and disappoint ment.
