Calls on Chairman of Interstate

port Threatens to Carry the
Fight to the Senate Floor.
ORKCiONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, April 1'S. Senator Fulton, accom
panied by Senators Piles and Flint, called
on Chairman Elkins, of the Interstate
Commerce Committee today, to urge Im
mediate action on the Fulton bill, which
prohibits any Increase In interstate freight
rates, where protest Is made, until the
Interstate Commerce Commission, after a
hearine. shall hold such increase to be
reasonable.
Mr. Fulton, two months ago. agreed to
accept an amendment suggested by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, giving
the committee discretionary power to say
what increases should go Into effect with
out hearing, and what should Jw held up
pending investigation. Elkins, knowing
this fact, stated that, if Fulton would
redraft his bill, making it conform to the
nminlssion s recommendations, his com
niittee would report it at the next meet
ing, held Friday.
Mr. Fulton will carry out this su-g.-stlon.
but says that unless. Blkins acta
squarely and reports the resolution as
promised, he will move to dlscharte the
committee from further consideration of
the hill, and make a tight on -the floor of
the Senate. Mr. Elkins is probably play
ing for delay, for it is entirely within
the province of his committee to make
the change in the bill which he suggests
shall be made by Mr. Fulton, and it is
more than likely that a fight will be
precipitated before adjournment. ,
as contemplated in the original act. The
amount of land to be so conveyed shall
not exceed 10 acres."

WASHINGTON, April 28. Repre
sentative Leake, of New Jersey, in- l
speech in the House today criticised
President Roosevelt as desiring; to
perpetuate himself in office by pro
curing the election of a proxy. He
declared the President lacked dignity

blem of the l.epublican party changed
from an elephant to a dog: if the pros
ent conditions were to continue, be
cause the dog can both bark and wag;
its tail at the same time, so that no
one is able, to know which end to believe."

Tells Two Stories as to Murder of
Mrs. Brennan.
WATER TOWN, N. T.. April 28. Mra.
James Farmer, who. with her huBband,
is held at the county jail, suspected of the
murder of Mrs. Sarah Brennan. of
Brownsville, whose body was found
packed in a trunk yesterday, has made
two confessions of the crime, according
to the police. In the first she stated
that it was she who struck the blows
with an ax, while Mrs. Brennan was
looking out of the window with her back
turned. She had the trunk in readiness
for the body, she said. When confronted
with the body of the victim, the police
say she made the alleged second confes
sion, saying:
I may as well tell the truth. Jim
did it. I found him leaning over her
Doay. He had the ax m his hand and
said to me, with an oath, "that's the end
of her.' '
The postmortem examination disclosed
that the woman's head had been crushed
In by a blow on the left side that severed
the ear and her face was a network of
cuts where blows had been rained, on her
after she had fallen.
Both the prisoners retain great com
posure and show no anxiety over their
position. The officers have allowed Mrs.
Farmer to keep her 8-monthsold baby
in h(r cell.

Chief Amusement for Sailors
at Santa Barbara.
PARTNERS AT A PREMIUM
AVlien Supply of Girls Gives Out, the
Jackies Dance With Each
Other Ships Get Lost
in Fog in Harbor.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., April 28.
There were no fixed features on Santa
Barbara's entertainment programme in
honor of the Atlantic battleship fleet
today, the officers and men being large
ly allowed to pursue their own ways.
Many of the latter went to Los Angeles
to spend, the day, and will over-stay
their leaves, which expire at 1 A. M.
The amusements offered the bluejack
ets in Santa Barbara are naturally
rather meager, owing to the size of the
city, and consist largely of flying
horses, shooting galleries and a large
variety of catch-penny affairs, brought
here for the occasion.
Dancing1 on the canvas-covered am
pliation, the ocean boulevard, each
evening, is the only picturesque fea
ture of the bluejackets' entertainment.
They seem to enjoy it hugely, however,
and when the available supply of eligi
ble girls gives out they dance with each
other. It is no easy task to provide
partners for 1000 or more dancing sail
ors. For the officers today, there was a
garden party and in the evening a
dance. A number of luncheons and tea
parties on the battleships were given to
the junior officers.
At intervals today, the fleet was en
tirely lost to view in fog banks, 'which
blow In from the southward. All morn
ing long, the fog bells on the 16 ships
were kept going at a lively rate. Dur
ing the afternoon the sun shone for
several hours through the mist, but
toward evening- the heavy banks low
ered over the ships again.
The officers of the fleet nave many
men overstaying their liberty, due to
the large number that nave gone to
Los Angeles; Instead f remaining In
Santa Barbara. The sailors had a rare
good time in Los Angelee. and count
the three anda half hours journey from
here to that city as nothing when in
search of amusement ashore.
Lieutenant-Commander W. Carev
Cole, navigating officer of the United
states bteamship Kansas, left tonle-ht
for Sari Francisco, wihlther he has been
ordered to take command of the Naval
patrols to be established in that city
during the stay of the Atlantic and Pa
cific fleets. This duty is one of .
treme Importance, and Commander Cnl
was selected far the position by per
sonal direction of Admiral Thomas. He
Is an officer of ability and excellont
judgment.
The system of landing armed rjatrol
from each of the ships of the Atlantic
fleet at every port visited has proved
a most successful means of handling
any delinquents among the men. Their
respect for the authority of their own
officers and ehipmates is supreme. Com
mander Cole is sent in advance of the
fleet's arrival in San Francisco to map
out districts and plan the extensive
work of the patrols there.
The fleet will leave here Thursday
morning. A dance of the flowers, in
honor of the officers, is the feature of
tomorrow's programme.
