STRAIT JACKET FOR HITCHCOCK carter Proposes to Forbid Suspension of Land Entries, COMMITTEE ON HIS TRAIL Senators Demand Authority for Re serve Indian Land Say He le- fies Congress and Scoffs at Legal Opinion. WASHINGTON, Ja -Senator Car ter presented a resolution today by vliicli, ho said, lie should at an early fifty try to show that the Secretary of the Interior acted without authority when he published an order on Decem- her IS last, prohibiting" the issuance of land patents to homestead entrymen inder all laws, regardless of conditions. r intend to make it plain to the Sen ntr." said Carter, "that the order was Illegal and unwarranted and was issued und in bolng" prosecuted in iolation of tin- law, and that records of the Land office will show that the issuance of the order Is wholly indefensible." The resolution expresses the senti- innnt that a qualified entryman. In the absence of contest or fraud or mistake. Is legally entitled to a patent for land embraced In his entry. "The resolution would reach also cases whore patents have been refused by the. Koiretary on the ground that he us- pitcted the entries were made by a num ber of persons in the interest of one .holding: corporation of "land-grabbera." Declines to State Authority. Mr. llltchcoik appeared ' today Wf ore the special Senate committee which Investigated citizenship and property rigrhts of the Klve Civilized. Tribes. He declined to state his au thority for withdrawing 4,000,000 acres of Indian lands from allotment in or der to create the forest reservation, tout said that. Assistant Attorney-Cien- rhil Campbell had prepared a report which would bo made to Congress and that th!n report would justify his course. All members of the committee dif fered from Mr. Hitchcock and he agreed to send the report to the com mittee today,- but declined to answer n i lost Ions relative to the character of the report beyond declaring- that he found legal authority (or his action in withdrawing the lands In the face of fin act of Congrpsg ordering that the land toe opened to allotment. He ex plained that he was not ready today bwausift liO had not received the report of Secretary Wilson as to the desira bility of creating the forest - reserve until yesterday. "What bearing can the report of tiie rVeretary of Agriculture have upon the locality of your action? asked Sena tor Bra rule pec. "Two separate questions are In- volved, I know," said Mr. . Hitchcock, 'but they are so closely interwoven that ronerefs should have the benefit of both reports." " - Mies Congress, says Clark. "ft was a very startlinp- thins to thlnlc that the Interior Department could defy jh n set of Congreas and suspend an at- urinative order as ra done in withdraw' Insr this land. said Senator Clark, of TVyomlnjr. "and i should like to have your authority for it." Mr. 1-litchcocR replied that he believed Sir. Campbell had found a precedent. Mr. Clark answered that he had not lreen able to fl nd any precedent, much Jens any law. Fending action on the report from tne Secretary of Agriculture, Mr. Hitch- cock declined to discuss the subject, but said he would modify his order as to the amount of land to be reserved. Senator nark assured Mr. Hitchcock that his mo. ttves in withdrawing the land were not 1U est ion od, but that his authority should be presented at once. "I think I know the law on the subject, how. bill I would like to receive your opinion. ssld Senator Teller. Air. J f i to 1 1 cook made no comment. Then ilr. Teller said he thought the only way to get Mr, Hitriicock to change his action won Id he by act of Contrress. Mr. Hitrhcock remained unmoved, but said rather sharply: "You shall have the report of Mr. Campbell today." The committee adjourned to await the report. Campbell Cites Precedents In compliance with his promise, Mr. 1 1 Itrhrock forwarded m r. Campbell's opinion to the committee during the afternoon. Mr. Campbell cites a large number of eases of withdrawal ot public land and he takes the position that the fact that The Secretary has Rcneral control over the affairs of the Indians gives him the game right to di- rort' the policy, to be pursued with reference to their land tha t he exer cises in reference to the public domain. Members ot the committee refuse to fteeept this theory, contending that the fact that the land In i ties t Ion Is owned hy the Indians ns private property places them outside the control of the Interior Department.

Trying to Kill Bill Trainmen Work From 17 to 13 Consecutive Hours by Their Own Wish. BUSINESS DONE BY SENATE. WASHINGTON". Jan. . The Sen ate today floated La Follette's bill limiting working-time of railroad em ployes. A tentatlv understanding; was reached that a vote on the general aervloe pension bill will be taken next Friday. The Brownsville matter wV post poned because Tillman, who is lndla- posed, dedred to address the Senate on the subject. WASHINGTON'. Jan. 9.-In view of the fact that the Senate has agreed to vote at 3 o'clock tomorrow on the bill limiting' tlie hours of service of railway employes, considerable time was devoted in the Senate today to that measure. I-a Toi lette grave notice that he would move to take up the bill Immediately after routine business tomorrow. The debate was opened by La Pollette, who declared the measure had received the endorsement of the National organiza tions of .all classes of railway employes and that the opposition now being mani fested was from employes who had been coerced by; the railroads to present pro tests. Dictation. ly Employers. The discussion was participated in by Bacon. Dolliver. Patterson, Hey burn. Gal linger and Beveridge. In support of bis contentions that the railroads liad been very tniey since the last session In developing: opposition to the rIU. 1 ji F"ollette read a set of reso lutions condemning the bill, presented to a lodge of railway employes, the name ot which he withheld, by ,E. T. Lamb, division superintendent or the Southern Railway. The lodfre applied for Informa tion on the subject to President Fuller, legislative representative of the Railway Employes National Organization and had not Indorsed the resolutions. Work 4 3 Consecutive Honrs. A long record of accidents was read by La Follette. showing that in all the trainmen involved had been on duty from 17 to 43 hours continuously. When the 43-hour record wag given,' Beverldge wanted to know the road on which the accident had occurred. He said he was shocked, as he believed every other Senator was. that any road would keep a man on duty 43 hours. La Follette said for obvious reasons he would not rive the name of the road and explained that It developed that In many cases the men themselves were respon- eible for the long hours. VOTE .X SERVICE PENSION'S Senate Fixes Day and Galllngcr Gives Eloquent l-'igrures. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. Receiving the rigiu ot way for his service pension bill In the Senate today. McOumber said few persons will not .concede that at some period after the close of the Civil "War a general service pension 'bill would be en- acted. The amount of pensions Mm? paid to the young veterans of the Spanish "War, he said, was entirely out of propor tion. McCumber secured unanimous con sent to take up the bill Friday, Scott heartily indorsed the bill and em- phasl zed the necessi ty for the proposed legislation. Saying he w&s at war with the present legislation, Gallinger maintained that we as a Nation have been extremely gen erous to the men who served In- the Army. In all our wars, he said. 4.400,000 men had been enlisted and of these 69 per cent had served In the Civil War and 31 per cent in all other wars. A total of $3.3an.S60.000 had been paid In pensions, of which 95 per cent had gone to civil war veterans. "Gallinger advo cated a flat rate of $12 per month to all veterans of the Civil Wur. HARRIMAN MEN DEFEND (Continued From First Page.) Southern Pacific was not oppose to the making of these rates by the Union Pa cific. "Oh, I don't think so," he replied. "Were they not competitors for Pacific Coast business at that time? "They were; that is.- the Southern Pa cific proper, was a competitor of the line formed by the Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific west from Ogden." Never Cat Any Hates. Mr. Stubbs, in answer to queetions, eaid prior to 1901 the Uinon and Southern Pa cific had separate solicitors in various cities seeking the same Pacific Coast busi ness. , Mr. Kellogg asked Mr. Stubbs If he would permit the cutting of rates by the Southern Pacific in order to take business from the Union Pacific, or vice versa. "No," replied Mr, Stubbs. "Did you cut rates on the Southern Pacific In order to take business from the Union Pacific prior to the consolidation ? "I thlnlc not." "You never did that?" "No." "Never cut any rates?" "We never originated any cut rates." "Are not transcontinental rates about 10 per cent higher than before the consoli dation?" "All the lines tried to advance rates about 12 per cent, but it could not he maintained." Mr. Kellogg submitted to the witness statements showing that the Union Pa cific had prospered greatly In the last few years, and asked If. In view of this, he considered the present rates equitable. "I consider them entirely reasonable." "And the competition between the Un ion Pacific and the Southern Pacific Is utill keen ?" "Just as Keen." "Do you think thle?" ""No; I know it. , Control of Express Lines Mr. Clements asked if the Southern Pa. ciflc owned stock In the Southern Pacific ExpresM company. Mr. Stubbs replied he believed It did. He was asked If the Union Pacinc held stock in the Wells Fargo Company. The witness was unable to a rawer, -but the Union Pacific attorn neys said that the railroad held about 40 per cent of the express company's ptock. In response to Mr. Lane's Questions. Mr.. Stubbs declared there is as much coVn petit ton. between transcontinental 11 new a there ever was. "Would the fact.' asked Mr. lane, "that two roaflvsuch as the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern, were under one ownership Jmve any effect on rates?" " don't oelleve it would have a par ticle of effect," eaid Mr. Stubbs. In replying to further questions of Mr. Lane. Mr. Stubbs said that, while the Southern Iacific deals preferentially- with the Union Pacific, it has a. reciprocal ar- rangement with the Denver & Rio Grande by; which the Southern Pacific gives to the Denver & Rio Grande at Ogden as much traffic xls it receives from that line. Air. Clements asked Mr. Stubbs if he woum sanction an increase or ratea witti- out knowing that his competitors were going- to do the same. "I wouldn' t dare do it." replied the witness. "Then there Is not such a thing as an independent line?" "It is Just as independent as any- mem ber of society can be. Every man in the community is compelled to forego a por tion of his natural rights for the good of the whole. I see no difference In this case." p Ten Per Cent Dividend. "If a company" said Mr. Clements, wig paying: 10 per cent dividends, isn't that a ground for reducing rates?" "I don't know." said the .witness, "that it is expedient for me to give my per sonal opinion on that If you are refer ring to the "L'nion Pacific. I would say that it is well to remember the lean years that the Union Pacific stockhold ers have gone through. Under the cir cumstances, I should not think that re duced rates are called- for. .Mr. Mllburn In commencing; the cross- examination, said: 'There may he lean years in th future, may there not?" "I hope not. but I am afrafd there will be. The last few years have -been very exceptional in regard to the railroad business." Mr. Mllburn brought , out from Mr. Stubbs the statement that he considered the 30-day notice of proposed alteration of rates as directed by the new rate law a distinct benefit, because he believed it would bring about increased! stability pf rates. Questioned by Mr. Harlan regarding railroad competition, Mr. Stubbs said that one owner for parallel lines did not mean the destruction of competition. "Mr. HUI," he said, "is probably the leading railroad man In this country and he cannot, if he would, destroy competi tion between the Great Northern and. Northern Pacific. He mut employ -vice-presidents and general managers. These men have their reputations to uphold or to construct. They will work for their own line against the other line and com petition is inevitable. If Mr. Hill should take that spirit out of his men, he might as well hand their management over to a, $100 clerk." Mr. Stubbs was succeeded on " the stand by J. M. Hannaford, second vice- president ol the Northern Pacific, who is in charge of the traffic on that line. Union and Southern Com p-eteti . Mr. Hannaford said that in the pools conducted prior to 1887 the Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific were repre sented as separate lines. lie had al ways considered the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific In connection with the Oregon Short Line, competit ors of the Northern Pacific for Port land traffic. The Northern Pacific could not be an active competitor of the Southern Pacific 'on business from the East to San Francisco, because the boat service of the latter line between Mew York and Galveston could not be equaled across the LaKeg. Mr. Hannaford did not consider a combination of transcontinental lines meant destruction of competition, and declared the business rivalry between the Great Northern and Northern Pa- cine is sharper today than before they went under the same management. Messrs. Lane and Harlaa. asked Mr. Hannaford many questions - as to whether or not a consolidation of own ership did not mean a stifling- competi tion. Tii .witness did- not believe that ' such a result would necessarily follow. Those Philanthropic New Yorkers. "Do 3-0 u, believe." an Iced Mr. XCellorr. "that, the- philanthropic men down in New York who own these lines wiJI give the best service they can of their very little o do with the operating- of the roads," said Mr. Hannaford, 'The men wlio actively operate the lines will give the best service they can." The witness was asked by the at torneys for Mr. Harrlman Just how great a factor in bringing: business to a railroad was a reduction In rates, ivi r-. Hannaford said it depended upon circumstances. "Suppose," said Mr. Lane, "that you announce a reduction of rates on a commodity. Would the announcement by a competitor of its intention to meet this cut by a reduction on some- tiling; else deter you from making your proposed reduction? "It would if I stood to lose more than I would grain. Once it would not. but now I am older than I used to he." The hearing was adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning:. Stillman Dodges Subpcna.
