Washington, Oct. 7.— Representative Townsend, of Michigan, joint author of the Esch-Townsend railroad rate bill that passed the house of representatives last winter, and alio will reintroduce substantially the same bill and lead the fight for its passage at the coming ses sion, after a conference with the presi dent today said: “ One of the first subjects, if not the first, which the president will discuss in his annual message will be railroad freight rates.” Mr. Townsend says he will not make any material change in his bill, and it is his understanding that the president approves itB general features and would be satisfied if it should become law. “ We had but one idea in framing that bill,” said Mr. Townsend, “ and that was to correct an omission in t~e original law for regulation of railroads. According to the law, the commission could not make an order which would remedy an evil condition or any unjust condition that was found to exist. It actually exercised that power for a number of years, but it was finally determined that it did not have the power. It was to give the commission that power that the house of represent atives passed its bill last winter. The rest of the bill merely furnished ma chinery for expediting hearings and for , carrying out the essential provisions of the bill, which was to fix a reasonable rate when a rate was found to be un reasonable. No statement that I have seen in opposition to this legislation since congress adjourned has modified my view as to the wisdom of adopting this course.” «of Estacada, Oregon ■■■■■ MANUFACTURERS OF ALL CLASSES OF charged, 2,559. At the close of the eleventh week of the struggle against yellow fever, the health authorities summed up the sit uation tonight as full of encourage ment. Today’ s new cases in the city were all in the old zone of infection j and most of them are of an extremely mild type. Sentiment in favor of some character of national quarantine is apparently growing here and elsewhere in the state. Arrangements for the president’ s re ception and entertainment are progress ing, and every effort is to be made while he is here to convince him that | in New Orleans fear of the fever has entirely passed. The route of the pro cession to the city hall will carry him past the Lee monument, op the im mense circular mound on which there will be gathered several thousand school children armed with American flags to give a patriotic greeting. The streets through which the president is to be escorted are to be decorated on a lavish scale.
