Washington, June 1. By a vote of to ;5t the Senate today refused lo challenge the Supreme Court of ii,.' t'nited States to another decision Hoarding the rlgh-t of common car i',.'is to transport commodities pro- ilncvd by themselves. Tiit Tvote was taken upon an amend ment to the railroad bill offered by Miiaior Bailey, of Texas, making It unlawful for any railroad company t 'transport from one State to an us her "any article or commodity man ufactured, mixed or produced by it or under its authority or by any cor poration, joint stock company or part nership in which said railroad com pany holds, owns or controls directly or indirectly any stock or Interest" The amendment was intended to remedy the supposed defect -in the commodities clause .of the Hepburn Act of 1906, out of which grew the famous decision of the Supreme Court if the United States In which the government, undertook to prosecute a number of the roads engaged in the mining of anthracite coal in Pennsyl vania. The court held the law to be constitutional, but materially limited it- application. The original provision was drawn iiy Senator Bailey . and he sought by today's amendment to force the court to face squarely the question, of the risht of Congress to prohibit railroad companies from transporting com mod it es produced by themselves. Mr. Bai ley said that it was his intention to make the language of the present vvoviskm so plain that "not even a of the Supreme Court could tan w understand it." The titne- consumed In debate on the Bailey amendment prevented a innl vme' being reached on the bill as had lieen hoped. . The LaFollette amendment provid injr for the ascertainment of the phy Mal valuation of all railroad property as a basis for the fixing of rates was defeated 2." to 30. A modified provision by Mr. Sim mons requiring such valuation of prop erty affected by any given case, lso was lost. 28 to 30. The tendency to wards bringing water transportation un.ler the jurisdiction of the Inter state Commerce Commission ; which has been noticeable throughout the consideration of the: bill, found ex pression in, two amendments, one of fered by Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, and the other, by Senator liuitt.n. of Ohio, both of which found iieceptance. The first was presented as a proviso in connection with the Ions and short haul provision, hereto fore adopted. It provides ."that when abdication is made to the commis sion by a carrier to fix a lower rate for longer than for -shorter distances, n account of water competition said application shall not be granted if 'he commission, after investigation, shall find that the lower rate asked for will destroy water competition." Mr. Simmons, in support of.hU amendment, gave instances In which lie said railroad' companies had put down rated to drive out boat lines, and tlien with this result accomplish ed had increased the rates again. Following is the text, of the Burton amendment: "Whenever a railway or railways in competition with a water roiitr- or routes Bhall reduce the rates fm i lie carriage of any species of i" ibt it shall not be permitted to in crease such rates unless, after hear- "in by the interstate Commerce Com mission. it" shall be found that such licif)st(l increase rests upon changed ''"millions other than the elimination "i the decrease in water competition. ;ni the said commission is hereby 'Mw n ihe right to prescribe minimum j ,;ilioaii rates on lines competing with tta't-i ways whenever, in its opinion, ihf object of the railroad or railroads m reducing rates is to destrox water-1 "v competition."

' V V , f 1 PROPORTION DECIDED UPON Sixty-Five .Percent; Murt Remain on Deposit in Stat and TeVritorial Banks The Vreeland Amend ment Voted "Down. , Washington, June 1. The Repub licans of the House went squarely on record tonight for prompt passage of the postal savings bank bill, which ris part of President Taft's legislative programme. The bill was finally agreed on at a; caucus lasting until midnight when the following', resolu tion submitted by Representative Tawney, of Minnesota, -was adopted: "Resolved that the postal savings bank bill agreed on by this caucus be and the same is hereby adopted tha'. the same be reported by the com mittee on "pestotfices. and postroajds and that it is the sense of this caucus that a rule be reiorted from the Conj niittee on Rules for its consideration in the House." The caifcus was largely attended and the only bolt was-by Representa tive South vick. of New York, wiio vehemently denounced the bill as rad Ically socialistic, and withdrew de claring his intention to fight it oj the floor of the House. Tonight's caucus had left only Sec tion nrne, relating to the disposition of postal savings funds, to be dealt with. The bill establishes postal sav ings depositories for depositing sav ings at interest with the security of the government for repayment. The House Republican caucus to night fixed at Co per cent, the amount of funds placed in the postal savings bank? that must remain on deposit in banks In each State and territory and 30 per cent, as the proportion-of such funds that,. the. trustees may witbe tlraw for investment in United States securities. The other five per cent. must be held as a permanent reserve In the United States Treasury. Thi disposition of the funds which are contemplated in connection with the proposed postal savings banks legislation was provided for in the Davidson amendment which was adopted by the caucus.. The original bill provided that 47 1-2 per cent, of the funds that might be put in the postal savings banks should be deposited in local banks and the same percentage was authorized to be withdrawn for investment in United States securities with five per cent, reserve fund in the treasury. The caucus voted down the Vree land amendment which extended the prcentage of deposits allowed in the local banks to 72 12 per cent., the investment in Federal securities to 22 1-2 per cent., with the five ner cent, permanent reserve. The Vree land amendment was first defeated on the rising vote by 59 to 53. and again voted down, when tellers were order ed, by 59 to 57. The Davidson amend ment was then adopted.

' A STATEMENT IS; GIVEN OUT System Hundred Yefers Behind tt-.e Age Technical Questions Not Merit is What Prevails Judge Parker Leader. New York, June 1. The system un der which the law is administered in this 'country is 100 '-years behind the age; the procedure in equity cases is a scandal to cur jur:ijrudenee; many cases are decided not on their merits but purely on technical questions and not enly has something got to 'be done about it.'br.t swmeth'ng "will b done about it. This is the sum and substance of a statement given oat tonight, by a Joint committee on reiorm in legal procedure of the National Bar Asso ciation and the National Civic Fed eration at the conclusion of a confer ence held today n the Lawyers' Building at the invitation of former Judge Alton B. Parker. "Ninety per cent, of the proverbial law's delay." says tli? statement, "are due to the system under which the lav is adniinist?reJ rather than to the intention of the attorneys interested in delayed suits :r the benefit result ing to either side from delays. As a matter of fict, it is to everybody's interest to have law suits quickly and cheaply disposed of." . Progress of equity cases in the Fed eral courts is characterized as a , "'slow and tedious process." and one which is "a scandal to our, jurisprudence." . One-third of the questions decided by courts of last resort are said ta be questions of practice and proce dure of. which "an altogether unnec essary percentage of decisions relates to the .useless scienfjp of appellate procedure. - - It ought not to require 'any scienct. to obtain a review in an appellate court of the decision of a lower court. It is explained that bills recommend ed by the American Bar Association are now before Congress to correct these evils and that they have the hearty support of President Taft who has publicly urged a radical change in the administration of the law. iSub-committees of the joint commit tee will report to thet next meeting of the bar association oe be held in Chattanooga August 30th.

SIX VESSELS LOST IN GALE Crewf French Brigantine Drowned- Severe Weather Along North At lantic Coast British Steamer Wrecked. Halifax. N, S., June 1. Thiclf fog and a quickly born southwest gale re sulted in the wrecking of six vessels and the loss of eight men at various points along the rocky north Atlantic coast last night and early today. While most of the crew of 25 were asleep below decks, the French bri gantine Mauve, a fishing vessel piled up in the fog on Point Blanche, at the entrance of St. Pierre harbor, Mique- lon, this morning and six men on deck were hurled overboard and drowned. The remaining 19 made their way to shore in small boats and rafts. The Mauve is believed to be a total lost. The Norwegian bark Borghild was driven on Castor ledges off Port Bickerton, N. S., and at onc began to go topieces in the heavy set. The crew of nine men launched their small boats, but all of them were bat tered to pieces on the rocks and two of the men were either drowned or hurled to death on the ledges. The remaining seven, clinging to the wreckage of thejr boats, were rescued by fishermen. Half a mile inside of Port .Nova, N. S.. the British steamer Ben Crua- chan, bound from .Baltimore to Chat ham, N. B., struck the beach so hard thit it is doubtful if she can be saved. Her crew or zt men were, rescued. Captain Boswell, it is said, mistook the Louisburg fog siren for the Scat- tarie whistle and steered a wrong course, landing in the breakers. Sev-. eral steamers and tugs have gone to the scene of the wreck. The tug Pejepscot with two barges went ashore at Cape Spencer. All the crews escaped. One barge may be saved but the other and the tug pro bably will go to pieces on the rocks. C. S. ABELL BUYS LANDMARK. Norfolk Paper Sold to Former Mana ger of Baltimore Sun. Norfolk, Va., June 1.

New York, June 1. i'lhat the late H. O. Havemeyer, former president of the American Sugar Refining Company, gave ujrections two weeks before his death in 1907 to "take care . of the boys" was part of the testimony heard today in the trial of three officials of the company charged with complicity in a conspiracy to dofraua the govern ment of customs dues. Ernest W. Gerbracht, refinery super intendent; James F. Bendernagel, for mer cashier of the refinery, and Chas. P. .Heike. secretary treasurer of the company, are the ttree on trial. "Take care of those boys; get counsel for tnem; see them through it, were the orders Gerbracht said he received from Havemeyer when he informed him af ter the first arrest of checkers that ithe men insisted on their innocence. ''Taking care of the boys" Gerbracht later testified, "had extended to paying their wages from the day they left the company's service until the present time. Ihe salary of Oliver Spitzer, former dock superintendent, who was pardoned from the Atlanta penitentiary by President Taft, Gerbracht said, was pam to Mrs. Spjtzer v e her hus band was in prison, and he believed sne is still getting it.

COURT'S ORDER WAS OBEYED W Agreement Feature Principal Ground on Which Railroad Attorneys Will Fight Government No Rate Increase in West. St. Louis, Mo., June 1 Within the next two days, attorneys for the 25 western railroads temporarily res trained yesterday from advancing freight rates by. Judge David P. Dyer, of the United States Circuit court, will meet in St. Louis to plan an ans wer to the government's suit. It was announced tonight by an attorney for one of the roads that Attorney Gen eral Wickersham's petition for a per manent injunction would be bitterly contested. The principal ground on which the suit will be fought is the contention that there is an agreement among the railroads to advance freight rates in violation of the Sherman act. If it is an agreement at all, it is admitted, the companies will contend that it is legal in every respect and it is necessary because of present in dustrial conditions to protect the in terests of the general public. The facts thait the railroads are members of the Western Trunk Line, a railroad officer, said, did not indicate that they were in an- agreement because the schedule of rates promulgated by the Western Trunk Line Committee was binding on the different members with out their express consent. It was stated at various railroad headquarters that the enjoined' rates might have been collected at distant points today because rescinding ord ers had not had time to seach them. Railroad officers, so far las they could.johey,ed..the court's order, even before service was made. - They were greatly surprised at the secrecy with w'hich the government's petition was filed yesterday and were unprepared! for action. ' Officers said that most of the rail roads had anticipated the . increased revenue which the new rates would bring and had planned extensive im provements which probably will be held up pending litigation. One bro ker in railroad supplies said that al ready he had received several can cellations on orders from the rail road companies affected by the in junction. The restraining order was placed in the hands of a United States mar shal tonight for service tomorrow on three of the companies having general offices in St. Louis. Copies of the order were sent to night to Chicago, Kansas City, St. Paul and Parsons. Kas., where gen eral offices of the other 22 railroads are situated. Following the filing today of a re quest to expedition to hearing of thp case, it was announced that the judges of the United States Circuit - Court, Adams, VanDeventer, Hook and San born, may take it up before the vaca tion season. In that event, the hear ing would take place in St. Paul, where the judges are now holding court. TAFT SPOKE TO GRADUATES. Education iof Women Praisedfby the President Remarks. i Washington, June 1. President Taft today made a brief address at the commencement exercises of Trin ity College for girls in this city, pre sided over by Mgr. Falconio, the pa pal delegate. "I congratulate the young ladies of this graduation class," said the Pres ident, "upon their entry into life with so much in their .favor as a thorough and a sound advanced education. Whether they are to become teach ers, whether they are to be membrs of a profession, whether they are to be wives, in any capacity that they have to discharge, that which they have learned here will stand them in good stead. It used to be. thought that the education of, women ought not to be advanced because they were not able to stand it and that they did not have the capacity. We tried' them with the boys and they distanced th boys. "The nineteenth century .has been as much distinguished for the., prog ress made0 in the education of women as in any other one step in the prog ress of civilization. . "There are a good many things I would like to say with reference to what you are going to meet In life, but I forbear. ' I can only reiterate what I have already said, that yott are to be profoundly congratulated on. having advanced Christian education. You are "beginning life with such ad vantages, but they Impose upon you heavy responsibilities in improving society where you are to live and in leading it to the highest ideals. Youj have my earnest hope for your suc cess in life and my confidence that it will attend you." Today's Deposits. Will bear interest from June 1st and receive interest September 1st.
