Kellogg, government "trust buster," this afternoon testified before the Stanley steel investigating committee that his firm of Davis, Kellogg k Severance, was still counsel for these roads and other companies connected with the strcel trust. "I have no npologies to make re garding my services for these com panies," Kellogg testified. "Their affairs were purely local and had no direct connection with the steel cor poration. "In 1900 I conducted n oabe for these. companies in the Minnesota oil fields and presented a bill for $15, 000. Tho bill had-to bo endorsed by the steel corporation officials. Since 1007 I have given nvy time, practical jy exclusively, m me government in the Standard Oil eases. My firm, however, continued to take all proper business coming its way." At the conclusion of Kellogg's tes timony, Chnirraan Stanley said: "The chairman nnd the committee men want to know how nnd why cer tain railroads are ablo to pay 100 and 150 per cent dividends nnd put four to five millions into the surplus when their capital is only four or five mil lions.

Senators Culberson (democrat, Texas) and Bacon (democrat, Geor gia), in the senate this afternoon chalenged the action of Vice Presi dent Sherman in casting the deciding vote in favor of the Bristow amend ment to the direct election resolution. They said Sherman had no right to vote upon such n. resolution. Sena tor Gallinger (republican, New Hampshire defended Sherman's ac tion. Congressman Underwood ( demo crat, Alabama), majority leader in the house, said today that ho doubt ed .whether the houso democrats would support tho Bristow amend ment. WASHINGTON, D. C. June 13. That a sharp skirmish Is likely to oc cur when the amended resolution for the direct, election of United, States, senators as adopted last night goes to conference Is tho general predic tion here today. Party politics, It Is asserted, will take a prominent part In the proceedings, but most politi cians here believe that tho result of the conference wilt bo that tho son ate amendment will be tackled to tho resolution finally sent to tho stato legislatures for ratification. Tho fin al attempt to inject party politics In- t otho proposition will come, it Is be lieved, when legislators of tho South ern states voice democratic objection to the resolution on tho ground of federal dictation of states rights. Vote (14 to 21. The senate last night passed tho bill tor the direct election of senators. Vote sixty-four to twenty-four. Tho Drlstow amendment, giving federal government supervision to such elec tions wns adopted forty-flvo to fourty fonr, the vlco president casting tho deciding ballot. Sonator Reed of Missouri protested against tho vlco president casting his, deciding voto. An amendment by Sonator Bacon, qualifying tho Bristow amendment to prohibit federnl supervision of elec tions unless tho stnto legislature re fused or failed to act, was defeated forty-six to forty-three, tho resolution as amended was thou finally adopted sixty-four to twonty-four. Clarko Against. Tho voto of n singlo democrat In tho sonato Clarko of Arkansas who voted against tho other membors of his party, and favored tho Bristow amendment, m a do possible tho tlo which Vlco President Shorman'a do cldlng voto turned Into victory for tho Kausau. Had Clark voted with tho democrats politicians today point out, tho party would havo been suc cessful In Its attempt to put before, tho republican sonato a rosolutlon which It is bollovcd, would havo fall o dto pass. That tho domocrats sought to forco tho republicans to voto ou tho direct election resolution as It camo from tlin houso expecting It would bo defeated, thus making campaign material, Is tho assertion of politicians hero. Negro Suffrage Up. Tho question of nogro suffrage la tho real point at Issuo. Tho resolu tion, as It passed tho houso, specifi cally provided that tho various states should control tho tlmo, placo und manner of holding elections. Tho Bristow amendment, which was a substitute, omits, tho provision of tho houso and by lnferenco permits fed eral control of elections. Tho langu age applying directly to tho mattor o elections Is almost Identical with that In the clause of thu constitution pro viding for tho oloctlon of roprosenta tlves, i ' (Continued on page 2.)
