It Is not yet clear whether this op position win have sufficient strength to defeat or materially alter the legislation Um administration has asked. But a determined ; fight is certain when the Question comes np for consideration at some data yet to be determine. ; Much of the hostility, inquiry shows. centers J in the agrarian group of sena tors, who contend that high freight rates having a ruinous exieoc on agri culture. Leaders of this group -will de mand that there be some assurance of lower rates before they win vote" for the extention of further financial aid. Senator La Fotlette, of Wisconsin, for Instance, characterised the administra tion' plan -as an attempt to "loot the treasury," and announced that ho "will fight It "Inch by inch.- La FoUette said ha would show that tne rauroaas axe greatly orer-capltallaed. ' ; LA. FOLLETTE WILX. FIGHT - J He declared that ha proposed to have It demonstrated whether the president and a majority of congress are working for the public or special Interests. An index of the possible minority at titude is furnished by the opinion - of Senator Smith, of North Carolina, rank ing Democrat on the interstate commerce committee, who also believes there should be some indication as to wnat will hap pen to freight rates If the administra tion's scheme goes through. i Other senators want soma guarantee that money to be - obtained from the government will be expended in improve ments which win directly and immedl ateiy benefit the public. There W fear In some Quarters that the funds might he utilised in a wax which would be of little assists nee In rehabilitating the roads, unless ;speclfJa safeguards wars set up. ! ? There is do disposition tn alther house to hasten passag of the legislation asked, although committee meetings will be held at an early data. ROAD CLATXS WOtTU GET O. XC The plan-of the administration Is to pay to tna rauroao moss claims ior under-main tananoe about which there Is bo dispute, and at the same tint fund over a period of years the Indebt edness of the railroads to the government for permanent Improvements made with public money during federal control. This would be accomplished, through the war finance corporation. The railroads would give the govern ment t per cent notes for the amounts they owe. These' notes would -be par chased from the president by the flnaaos mmtoration and sold by it to the invest ing public. Jn this way, an appropriation from congress would be avoided. The money derived through the i of the notes would bo pajd to the rail roads la settlement ox their claims. The administration view, as set forth by the president, is that all business weald bo benefitted, If the purchasing power of the roads wars revived. Pay ment would bo mad only on claims which the government admits It o' which are not mora than half of what the railroads claim is duo them. The disputed items would bo left 'for settle ment in the courts. - ( Girl Bride Sold for : $20; Places Poison ; In Husband's Coffee Clinton. ' IndL. - Aug. t.

We recall the days when the picturesque prairie schooner creeped across the landscape of the uest; and uneasy Indians patched the jencroachrnents of civilization. Iriey saw in those long trains of vagrant schooners of the paleface a menace to their peace and their happiness. They moved their scruaws and their papooses bach jfrom the traveled trails into secure strongholds, in preparation; for the wars they knew could not be averted. They knew the paleface's firestick very weQ. now ; and they had obtained a few. They might capture more ammunition for their empty fires ticks, and even more frestkks. They waited for the palefaces to open hostilities ; watching them warily from j a distance, just out of range of fhrestkks. They had never heard k of fire-wagons (artillery), j " ! - One day the palefaces came, with many prairie schooners, ' drawn by cattle. ' Some of the schooners were different from any ;. they had ever seen before j and the Indians were puzzled. The white men were anxious to try these frcwagons ; and so they de rnanded that the Indians bring them supplies of com and meat, -caving the Indians too short a time in which to comply. ' Indian I scouts smrounded the wagon train at a distance to watch it. And then the surprise! Noise like thunder.
