Senate Rejects Amendments
to Rate Bill.
LA FOLLETTE GETS ANGRY
Accuses Hale or Blocking His Work.
Klklns Promises Employers' Lia
bility Bill Plan to En
large Commission.
WASHINGTON, May 14. The ses
sion of the Senate today passed with
out an exciting incident and without
the adoption of a single amendment to
the railroad rate bill., notwithstanding
that measure was under consideration
practically all the time from the hour
of convening. 11 o'clock, until adjourn
ment at 5:1S P. M. The most charac
teristic feature of the day was the re
jection of amendments. This was ac
complished either by direct vote or by
the process of laying on the table and
one followed another in rapid succes
sion. Among the provisions thus adversely
disposed of were several intended to
fix the liability of railroad companies
for injury to employes. The presenta
tion of provisions intended to accom
plish this purpose had the effect of
bringing out a practically authorita
tive statement' that the committee on
Interstate commerce will report the in
dependent House bill- on that subject
whlrh is now pending before it.
May Make Xew Commission.
When the Senate adjourned, the
eighth section, regulating the person
nel of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, was under consideration and
adjournment was secured at a some
what earlier hour than " usual in the
hope that there could be prepared a
more acceptable provision covering
that subject than has heretofore been
presented. Ixdge offered a substitute
for the pending section, providing for
a new Commission of nine members,
one from each of the judicial circuits,
but Indicated a willingness to accept a
modification suggested by Bailey, re
quiring the creation of nine transpor
tation districts, with one member from
each of them.
l.a J'ollclte Sat Vpon.
Daniel attempted to perfect his amend
ment, which was under consideration
when the Senate adjourned Saturday.
Kollette offered a substitute, making new
evidence produced at a court review
available to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for 10 days, that the Com-'
mission might change Its order if neces
sary. Halo had both amendments tabled,
whereupon Daniel came forward with
another amendment of a technical char
acter, and Morgan introduced a substi
tute, on request of Daniel. Morgan tem
porarily withdrew his substitute, but
the Daniel amendment profited nothing
thereby, as Aldrich sent It to join the
others on the table. Morgan's substitute
again came to the front and was voted
down, "four to seven," as Morgan
claimed in demanding an aye and no
vote.
Morgan's amendment calls for a jury
trial in certain, contingencies, and ne
j lessitates an appeal within 30 days.
Ia Follotto came forward with an
amendment providing for an investiga
tion by the Interstate Commerce Com
jnlsslon to establish the fair value of
every railroad, and with the assistance
of Spooner, Money and Bacon succeeded
in keeping it off the table for a time, a
motion to table being voted down.
Yisxns.ln Man's Threat.
Clarke of Arkansas spoke in support
of the amendment. AVhen Clarke sat
down. Hale was ready with his motion
to table, but waited for U Follette to
explain his amendment. The latter de
clared that Hale was always ready to
table anything that he (Iji Follette)
brought up. and as long as he remained
in the Sente there would never be unan
imous consent to table on similar propo
sitions. The "Wisconsin Senator there
upon explained that the Commission must
be given power to ascertain the fatr
VRlue of the railroads In order to cor
rectly arrive at a just' and reasonable
rate. Da Follette having concluded, his
amendment went on the table, on motion
of HaJe. 40 to 21.
Foraker urged an amendment allowing
any complainant to go directly into court
If permission to do so were granted by
the Commission. Foraker thought the
Penate had Improved the rate bill, but
believed that it conferred legislative, ju
dicial and executive powers on the Com
mission, thus rendering the bill uncon
stitutional. The amendment was defeat
ed. M to 10.
An amendment providing that nothing
in the rate bill should prevent any per
son from bringing suit in law or equity
in any court against a common carrier
was defeated, on roll call. 33 to 41. Ia
Kollette advocated the compulsory instal
lation or tne Diock-slgnal system by 1911
prevent accidents. The amendment
" oisajrreea to, whereupon Ia Fol
lette offered another allowing Injured em
ployes of railroads to recover damages
for injuries when the ntwligence of ihe
common carrier was greater than that of
i no mjurea employe. Ia Follette spoke
in support of the amendment, express
ing the opinion that the committee on in
terstate commerce had beeu negligent
in dealing with the question.
Separate Bill on Accidents.
Biking reminded I .a Follette that the
committee on interestate commerce was
considering the question of liability for
presentation In a separate measure, but
the Wisconsin Senator replied that the
III was not satisfactory, in as much ."as
the committee amendment has the effect
of eviscerating it." F.lklns said in reply
that the committee had been making
such progress on the bill that he was
hopeful of securing early action, and he
thought it much better to legislate in
that way than in connection with the
rate bill. After further debate the
amendment was voted down, 28 to 44.
The rejection of the provision wss fol
lowed by another in the same line bv
Daniel, practically in the language of
the House bill. This was voted down.
Proposes Nine Commissioners.
The eighth section, providing for the
enlargement of the commission to seven
members and fixing their Jlsr1e.s, was
then read, whereupon Dodge offered his
substitute providing for an entirely new
commission to be composed of nine mem
bers, one to be appointed from each of
tlie United States circuit Judicial dis
tricts. The substitute also Increased the
salaries of the commissioners from
$10,000 to $12,000 a year. Bailey suggested
that an improvement could be secured
by dividing the country into nine trans
portation districts, and Hale, who had
been speaking in favor of the Lodge
substitute, said he was willing to accept
that modification. Dodge also approved
Valley's suggestion.
Foraker raised several objections to the
substitute. He favored a reduction in
stead of an Increase in the number of
commissioners, asserting that an increase
would result in increasing the delay in
adjudication. The Iodge substitute was
still beiug debated when the Senate went
into executive session and shortly -afterward
adjourned.
CAXXOT REACH PRESIDENTS
Stickney Proposes Fine, Xot Impris
onment for Rebaters.
WASHINGTON, May 14. Senator
Nelson today had read in the Senate
the following telegram from the pres
ident of the Chicago Great Western
Railway:
"St. Paul, Minn., May 12. 1906. Hon.
Knute Nelson, L'nited States Senate,
Washington, D. C: As you know, I
am in full sympathy with the main
features of the amendment proposed
to the interstate commerce act, but I
desire to protest against the injustice
of the proposed amendment imposing
fines and imprisonment on officers and
agents of railway companies for al
lowing rebates. Such penalties can
never be inflicted upon presidents and
high officials of 160,000 miles of rail
ways of this country who live in New
York and do not deal directly with
rates, while their demand for revenue
will' induce some freight agent on a
salary of $3000 or $4000 a year to
grant a rebate.
"Make the penalty as high as you
please against the railway company.
This is the only way to reach the rail
way czars and grand dukes. The pen
alty of imprisonment was in existence
many years, and only one man, a poor
freight agent, trying to support his
family on a meager salary, was im
prisoned. A. B. STICKNEY."
AVAXT TO ANSWER PEIRCE

WASHINGTON, May. 14. Two of the
ex-Consular officers beside Robert M,
McWade, who were -mentioned unfav

portunity to clear themselves. They

CAXNOT COLLECT REBATES.
Supreme Court Decides Against the
Shippers Suing Railroads.
WASHINGTON. May 14. The Supreme
Court of the United States today, in de
ciding against Mugg & Dryden In their
suit against the Texas & Pacific Rail
road, lays down the law that a shipper
who is promised a rate below the pub
lished tariff.-and is then charged the full
published rate cannot recover the differ
ence, as the action of the road in giving
a rate below the tariff Is contrary to
the interstate commerce act.
Breaks Record for Xew Laws.
WASHINGTON, May 14. The files
of the index clerk at the State De
partment show that the first session
of the 59th Congress has broken all
records in the matter of completed
legislation up to this moment. Al
ready more than 3000 laws have been
enacted, which Is between 700 and 80i
more than in any preceding session up"
to the beginning of the month of May.
The greater part of this mass of law
was made up of bills of a private na
ture and only about 250 of the total
enactments were general laws.

SCARED BY UNIONS
Democrats Dread Gompers
Hearst Alliance.
WOULD ELECT T0C0NGRESS
Labor Candidates In Xew York City
May Lose Democrats Half Their
Scats, if Threat Made
Is Executed.
NEW YORK. May 14. (Special.) The
threat of President Samuel Gompers. of
the American Federation of Labor, that
workingmen will run their own candi
dates for Congress this Fall, has greatly
worried the members of the local delega
tion. ,
It is openly admitted that the labor
leaders have made a hard and fast agree
ment with the Hearst men, who will put
on their independent ticket such men as
may be picked out by the federation. In
this way, of course, Hearst expects a
solid labor vote for himself and the other
state candidates who will run with him.
There are 17 Congressmen from Greater
New York, not counting the Representa
tive of the Suffolk County district (the
part of Long Island outside of the city),
and a Hearst-labor combination would
put more than half of them in peril. Of
the 17 members. 11 are lawyers, while
the others are: Newspaper publisher,
builder, no occupation, insurance, brewer
and theatrical manager. The only one of
the lot who is accepted' as filling the labor
men's requirements is Hearst, and he will
not be a candidate for Congress this
year.
How the Districts Stand.
George H. Lindsay, of the Second Dis
trict (Brooklyn), who has served several
terms, is a professlonel politician. He had
nearly 6000 majority in 1904. but last year
Hearst carried his district for Mayor.
Lindsay is a Democrat.
Charles T. Dunwell. Republican, has
represented the Third District for two
terms. His majority was 3500 in 1904. and
his district showed less sign of the Mu
nicipal Ownership wave than any other in
Brooklyn. Mr. Dunwell is a lawyer.
Neither he nor his friends are worried.
Charles B. Lav, Republican, and a law
yer, carried the Fourth by 2000. Hearst's
plurality over McClellan in the same ter
ritory was 6500. Mr. Law does not like the
outlook.
George E. Waldo, also a Republican and
a lawyer, was swept in by the Roosevelt
landslide in the Democratic Fifth by
about 8000. Hearst and McClellan ran neck
and neck in the district. Waldo, who is up
for renomlnation, declares many Republi
cans, voted for Hearst last year, but that
they will be in line this year, and he
hopes to get a larger majority. The
Hearst men say they will win.
Calder Expects Victory.
-William M. Calder, a Republican, and a
builder by occupation, had 8000 majority
in the Sixth. Hearst had 2500 over Mc
Clellan. Calder, however, expects victory.
In the Seventh. John J. Fitzgerald.
Democrat and lawyer, won by over 10.000
two years ago. Hearst's majority In the
same territory last year was 3300. It is a
strong labor district, in fact the strongest
in Brooklyn, and Fitzgerald is naturally
worried. . 14
The old New York City districts are
from the Eighth to the Eighteenth Inclu
sive. Timothy D. Sullivan, Democrat, who
describes himself as a theatrical manager,
had 10,000 two years ago. McClellan's plu
rality in the Eighth Congressional Dis
trict, although it has a strong labor vote,
was 4600. Sullivan is going to the State
Senate this year, he is tired of Congress,
but declares that he will send' a Democrat
to Washington in his place, no matter
what Gompers and Hearst may do. -
Henry M Goldfogle, lawyer and Demo
crat, represents the Tenth. His purallty
was only 200. Hearst's plurality was 1000.
The light there will undoubtedly be inter
esting. It la the smallest district in the
citv In the point of votes cast, less than
15,000.
Hearst May Name. Successor.
William Sulzer, Democrat and lawyer, is
the standard-bearer in the Tenth. He
won it by 4000, but Hearst led McClellan
there by 2500. Still Hearst and Sulzer are
friendly, and Sulzer has always posed as
the "friend of the people." Next to
Hearst, he is the strongest man with
labor in the city delegation.
William Randolph Hearst represents the
Eleventh. He carried his Congressional
district for Mayor by 1100. That causes
some people to nure that he will name
his own successor.
Bourke Cockran had J2.O0O majority in
the Twelfth. Hearst led McClellan there
by 700. It is a strong labor district, too;
in fact, almost solidly made up of work
ingmen. Herbert Parsons, Republican and law
yer, represents the "Silk Stocking" Thir
teenth. His majority was 2822. McClellan
led Hearst by nearly 10.000. Labor men
are not seeking nominations there.
Charles A. Towne, ex-United States Sen
ator from Minnesota, carried the Four
teenth in 1904 by 10.000. This district
takes in part of Queens County and a
strip along the East Side water front of
New York. Hearst led McClellan there
by 6000. Towne. however, says it is a
matter of no consequence.
Jacob. Van Vechten Olcott. Republican
and lawyer, carried the Fifteenth two
years ago by 1500. It is a very much anti-
Hearst district, as McClellan led there by
SuUO.
Jacob Ruppert, Jr.. Democrat and brew
er, represents the Sixteenth, which takes
In the upper East Side. He had 4000 ma
jority in 1904. but Hearst led McClellan
there by 3600. Ruppert. who has been in
Congress for eight years, frankly admits
that he does not like the outlook at all. ;
William S. Bennet. Republican and law
yer, carried the Seventeenth by a plural
ity of 262S. Hearst was strong In that dis
trict. McClellan s plurality being, only
1200. while Ivins was a very bad third.
Joseph A. Goulden, Democrat and life
insurance man. had a 12.000 vote ralk
away In the Eighteenth, but McClellan
had the time of his life to get a plurality
of 4S0 over Hearst. And the district is
growing all the time.
A Hearst-Labor - ticket for ' Congress
would probably bring about some surprises

EXPLOSION J5HAKES EARTH
Fifty Tons of Powder Blow l"p and
Cause Panic.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn., May 14. Four
magazines in the testing grounds of the
Union Metallic Cartridge Company, in
the East Side exploded at an earlv hour
this morning, the concussion shaking the
wnoie city and causing great alarm
among many persons who believed there
hail been an earthquake. There were
two explosions, with but a second inter
val, and a large amount of powder was
destroyed. So far as known no person
was harmed.
The four magazines contained 25.000
pounds of powder each. None of the oth
er buildings of the cartridge company
was damaged, and the four adjacent
magazines were unharmed. The canse

of the explosion is not known. The iso
lation hospital, a small structure half a
mile away, was wrecked. A panic oc
curred among the inmates of the town
farm, but no one was hurt.
The magazines were located on Suc
cess Hill, in the northern part of the
ctty. The full . force of the explosion
wag felt in the city proper, and appar
ently there is not a single large pane of
plate-glass left in business buildings. As
for private residences, few escaped with
out broken windows. The damage seems
to be confined entirely to broken glass,
and the Union Metallic Cartridge Com
pany has given notice that property
owners will be compensated for damage
of this nature.
Immediately after the explosion the
people of Bridgeport believed that an
earthquake had visited them, and the
scenes in the streets were exciting, for
hundreds of residents fled out of doors
in their night clothes, carrying a few
belongings. Mothers carried their crying
Infants and men ran frantically about,
making inquiries.
The city was early flooded with in
quiries from other places where the dis
turbances had an even greater resem
blance to an earthquake than locally.
From all parts of the state came word
that the shocks were felt with force
enough to awaken people from sound
slumber. -
NEW HAVEN, Conn., May 14. Two
shocks from the Bridgeport powder ex
plosion were felt In this city distinctly.
Windows rattled and in some houses
dishes were shaken from shelves. It
was at first thought here that the shocks
were caused by an earthquake.
EASTPORT, L. I., May 14. Two dis
tinct shocks, coinciding in time to the
Bridgeport explosions, and so violent as
to send almost the entire population of
this village into the streets in their night
clothing, were felt here today. Houses
were Jarred, dishes rattled, beds shook
and almost instantly every sort of do
mestic animal and fowl set up a racket
which lasted half an hour.
