tTASHTNOTON. Nov. 24. Foregoing a
contemplated horseback ride because of a
snow storm. President Taft devoted the
entire, afternoon to conferences covering
proposed amendments to the Interstate
commerce law. legislation looking to the
stiDDrenslon of the "white slave" traffic,
,he appointment of a successor to the late
Judge Eethea. of the United States Dis
trict Court at Chicago, and the appoint
ment of a Governor of the territory of
Now Mexico.
The conference with regard to the in
t?r$tate Commerce law changes was the
most Important the President has1 had on
that subject. It was said that he prac
tically if;' ready to begin this part of
Ms menage to Congresw.
At the conferences were Attorney-Gen-eial
Wickersham, Postmaster-Genera!
Jlitrhcock. Chairman Knapp and Commis
sioner Lane, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission: District Attorney Sims, of
CH'-aeo. who conducted the Government's
pritfecution In the famous 13.000,000 Stan
dard Oil case, and Representative Mann,
of Illinois, chairman of the House com
mittee on foreign and Interstate com
merce. Federal Power Invoked.
With District Attorney Sims and Mr.
Mann, the President also took up the
"white slave" question. Mr. Mann Is to
Introduce a bill on this subject. Mr.
Mann believes that the Federal Gov
ernment Is the only authority that can
cope with the evil, and the bill he haa
drafted provides a heavy penalty for the
enticement of a girl for immoral pur
poses, thereby causing her to go as a
passenger over' any transportation line
engaged In Interstate or foreign com
merce. District Attorney Sims has been rec
ommended for appointment to the Fed
eral bench to succeed Judge Bethea. No
decision as to this vacancy was reached,
so far aa can be learned.
President Taft'a views as to amend
ments to the Interstate commerce ,law
have been pretty generally known dince
his Des Moines speech on September 20.
The conference at the White House this
afternoon. It was stated, was to work out
details of desired amendments. .-
Rate Appeal Court Favored.
It Is proposed to establish an'-lnter-state
commerce court of five members
to consider appeals from rates fixed by
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
The President will also recommend leg
islation to prevent one interstate railroad
owning stock' In a competing line and to
compel roads thus owning stock to dis
pose of their holdings. Legislation to pre
vent the over-Issue of stocks and bonds
will be one of the strongest recommenda
tions Mr. Taft will make, the President's
proposition being that no stock or bonds
hall be Issued except by permission of
the" Interstate Commerce Commission.
Giving to shippers the choice of routes
over various connecting lines is another
amendment the President favors.
Mr. Taft believes that the Interstate
commerce law should give the Commis
sion power to hear and remedy complaints
against unjust classification.
It Is perfectly clear, he dei-' es, that
by Including In the same cIa;V articles
which ought to pay different rates, a rail
road can commit exactly the same kind
of Injustice by Imposing an exorbitant
rate aa to any one class.
Creater Authority Needed.
To give the Commission power to In
stitute complaints and not to limit it U
the consideration of complaints made
from the outside Is another change In the
law to 'which the President Is devoting
much attention.
Mr. Taft believes that this authority
must be given to the Commission to
make its work effective. Mr. Taft, how
ever, is not In favor of the letting down
the bars entirely snd giving the Commis
sion absolute power to fix rates in ad
vance on its own initiative without com
plaint being tiled.
It is proposed that the Interstate Com
merce Commission be given authority to
suspend for 30 days a new, rate classifica
tion providing complaint is made that the
rates are unjust.
Rate Pooling Permitted.
The subject which has given the Presi
dent and his advisers much concern Is
the proposal to permit railroads to make
rate agreements. Mr. Taft holds that
railroads should be permitted to make
agreements upon rates that shaJl not
exactly be pooling contracts but shall
Constitute agreements as to rates pro
vided always that such agreements shall
receive the approval of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
A delegation of coal operators and a
. representative of the miners' union called
upon President Toft today te urge that
railroads be permitted to pool rates as a
( means of providing against car shortage.

ROSEBERl WARNS
PEERS OF
Budget Denounced.But
Passage Urged.
WRONG BATTLEFIELD CHOSEN
Lords' Existence Threatened
by Use of Dormant Power.
OBJECT LESSON IS NEEDED
Former Premier Declares Pressure
of Great Armaments Is Hurry
ing Europe Into Bank
ruptcyBishops Aloof. '
LONDON, Nov. 24. Lord Rosebery, -Liberal
Prime Minister, today raised the
historic struggle between the Lords and
the House of Commons to a new fclane
by one of the finest speeches he ever has
delivered. He warned the Lords of the
grave risks they were running if they
adopted the Lord Lansdowne resolution
to reject the budget. .
Interest in today's debate was Intense.
There was not enough room to seat all
the peers attending and the house gal
leries were crowded. The Duchess of
Connaught headed a long list of the fore
most peeresses, many of whom were com
pelled to stand throughout the session.
, Bishops Hold Aloof.
Lord Salisbury resumed the debate with
a speech, supporting Lord Lansdowne's
resolution, after the Archbishop of Can
terbury had said that the bishops would
stand aside from the discussion, as the
debate was strictly of a party character.
Lord Rosebery followed In a long speech,
giving the Lords plain warning of the
danger in the path they were treading.
He said:
1 am quite disassociated from any
party and speak from my sense of the
awful gravity of the situation. This Is
the greatest political moment In the life
time of any man born since 1832."
Power to Reject Dormant.
Lord Rosebery" adsjiltted that, by the
Jetter of the law the House of Lords was
competent to reject finance bills, but since
the reform of 1832 It was not possible that
the Commons' should send up a budget
which the House of Lords should go to
the length of rejecting. He considered
that the only, possible circumstances Jus
tifying the Lords in exercising such a
dormant power would be the direct au
thority of the nation itself. Such a cir
cumstance might arise if a budget were
presented which lowered the defenses of
the country to a point which the nation
considered dangerous.
He doubted whether the Lords were
choosing the best battlefield. They were
playing fgr too heavy a stake and were
risking the very existence of 'the House
of Lords. '
A winning policy, continued the speaker,
would be to allow the budget bilj to pass
and give the country six months' ex
perience of Its intolerable impositions,
loss of capital and employment. They
would then achieve,', when they next ap
proached the polls, a victory that would

Probably fatally Injured:
Engineer and fireman on the wild enw

The accident occurred either through

The Great Northern passenger train,
from the Coast, was traveling over the
Northern Pacific tracks on acoount of
floods and washouts on the Great
Northern.
The train was due in Lind-shortly
after 1 o'clock this morning. The
'3ielper" started west, and no- sooner
had it left the station than the operator
knew that a terrible mistake had been
made, but had no means of recalling it.
About a mile west of Lind the
"helper" engine and the passenger en
gine collided. Immediately there was
a terrific explosion, awakening every
soul on the passenger train. Fire from
the engine was Immediately communi
cated to the equipment, and in a short
time the mail and express cars, smoking-car,
chair-car and a sleeper were in
flames. The cars did not leave the
track, and. to this circumstance and to
the noise of the explosion the passen
gers owe their lives.
According to Engineer Rush, every
passenger escaped unscathed, except
one, who was only slightly injured.
The mail was hurriedly removed
from the car and the main portion of

0 WASHINGTON, Nov. zt . President
Taft is bashful to the point of extreme
diffidence.
This is the verdict of 24 pretty girls
from Ohio, the President's native state,
who called at the Whj.te House today.
They are reputed to be the most popular
representatives of 24 counties of the
Buckeye state, selected through a voting
contest conducted by a Cleveland news
paper. Ail are pretty and vivacious, and
the President semed. overcome when they
"rushed" him in the Executive office.
According to the girls, the President
lapsed into a state of "blue funk" and
seemed to be completely overcome by
their presence. He shook hands with each
and wished them a pleasant trip on the
rest of their Journey, but that was all.
When the young women filed out, they
were in love with the President, they
said, but voted unanimously that he "fell
down" when it came to paying them com
pliments. A report that some, of the girls at
