FIVE CENTS 4 13 COURT FEATURES OF RATE BILL Chief Difference of Opinion in the Senate Committee MANY COMPROMISES RU3IORED The Senate Committee Will Meet Daily Until February 16th, When a Vote Will be Taken Republican Mem bers of Committee Expect to Offer an Amendment Monday, in Terms Similar to Provision of the Esch Townsend Bill as it Passed the House. Washington, February 10. With all sorts of compromise rumors the Senate committee on intevsia e com merce today resumed consideration of railroad rate bills under the agree ment to meet daily until February 16, when a vote will be taken. The chief difference of opinion con cerns the court features and involves the right of the railroads to have, the rates fixed by the commission review ed by the courts before they become effective. Certain opponents of the House bill, who have been contending for a spe cine recognition of that right have suggested another and concededly more moderate amendment. This pro vides that the courts may determine the lawfulness of a rate fixed by the commission, which would amount to a test proceeding and have a bearin on all subsequent orders of the com mission. How acceptable this proposed amendment will be to the majority of the opponents of the bill has not been ascertained, but Aldrich is said to fa vor it. It is a compromise only in that it provides for the determination of the constitutionality of the bill he fore its provisions are enforced. It is believed generally that if adopted it would result in the greatest legal con test in the history of the courts. Senator Tillman offered an amend ment to exempt Pullman cars and ex press companies. He said that in view of the uncertainty as to whether they would be included in the definition of transportation lines he would offer the amendment to make certain that they wmild be. No vote w-3 taken on the amendment" today. Republican members of the commit tee, with the exception of Senators Dolliver and Clapp, who are committed to the House bill, today held an ex tended conference following-the meet ing .of the committee. They endeav ored to draft an amendment provid ing for the review of orders ot tne m terstate commerce commission ? which would be likely to receive tne ravora- ble consideration of opponents ota iea ture of that character. When the com mittee meets on Monday these mem bers expect to offer an amendment in terms similar to the provisions of the K?ch-Townsend bill as it passed the House.

I Richmond, Va., February 10. The j first indoor athletic track meet of the jsouth, held here tonight, under the auspices of the American Athletic Un ion and the Inter-Collegiate Associa tion, was a brilliant success, and will, without doubt, lead to the establish ment of a yearly event of the kind in this city. The spectators tonight numbered about three thousand, and included Governor Swanson and many other men prominent in state and city, with a large proportion of ladies, ele gantly attired. Tne contests were spir ited and thoroughly sportsmanlike, and were carried off by the University of Virginia, George Washington Uni versity, of Washington city, the Co lumbia Athletic Club, of Washington Georgetown University, and Woodbury Forest High School. The University of Virginia defeated George Washington, and Georgetown University defeated the Virginia Polytechnic Institute in the relay racing, which was the most attractive feature on the program Richmond College won the relay race from William and Mary and Woodbury Forest took everything in its class, carrying off the inter-collegiate cham pionship of iVrginia and the District of Columbia.

THE ALGECIRAS CONFERENCE Negotiations Concerning Morrocco May Break Up Without Any Agree ment Being Reached. Beiiin, February 10. The negotia tions at Algeciras have reached a de cisive turn, and the dissolution of the Moroccan conference without an agree ment on the principal subjects of dis cussion appears to be the probable re sult. The positions of France and Germany have now been clearly dis closed. Each country, supported by several other powers, holds tenacious ly to its own principle of settlement, namely, France for special recogni tion in Morocco and Germany for a strist application of the doctrine of equal treatment of all countries in the future of Morocco. Both the Paris and Berlin governments saw that a con trolling influence could be exercised in Morocco either through the com mand of the semi-military police or by holding the Moroccan purse. France has indicated that she might give up the police -administration provided she were allowed a paramount position in. the state bank organization, which will represent Morocco's foreign debts, largely held in France, and which will control the sultan's future borrowing. Herr Von Radowitz and Count Von Tattenbach, the German delegates to the conference, said Germany could not consent to France having control ef the bank as this would simply be another way of turning over the coun try to France. Then Mm. Revoil and Regnalut, the French envoys, two days ago, dropped the banks and raised that of the police, upon which Germany also insisted upon the equal partici- tion, in some form, of all the powers giving a moainea acceptance.

Government Paid forj Eight Mat tresses. Where Only One Was Sunk. Advertisements, Specifications, etc. i Part of the Scheme, i Savannah, aG., February 10. -Major Cassius E. Gillette, U. S. A., gave in teresting testimony today in the trial of Greene and Gaynor. Major Gillette said on the stand that the mattresses sunk by the defendants in Cumberland Sound were no more than bundles of brush, that they were not worth more than si tenth of the price that the government paid for them; that instead of supporting the stones that were thrown on them.the stones went right on through them, and that he was unablej to get a copy of the specifications at the scene of the work. j "I saw one of the mattresses sunk," said the witness. "A great quantity of dry leaves floated away.! It struck me that a very large percentage of the mattress was floating away." Major Gillette said that the eight courses of mattresses might nave made one good course. . "Do you mean to say, Major, that the government paid for eight mat tresses where there was only one?" asked the court. j. "That was the system of payment. The government never paid Greene and Gaynor for those all." mattresses at Major Gillette said llhat the govern ment had been paying at the rate of $3,600 for something it could have se cured in the open market for $400. That, he said, was what the work done by Greene and Gaynor amounted to. All the advertisements, specifica tions, contracts, etc., were but part of the scheme, he said. They were in tended to confuse the main issue, to veil the real purpose, Which was to make the government pay nine prices but by shutting out competition, and leaving no alternative to acceptance of Greene and Gaynor, the contractors ' Without any authority, Carter pur chased a brush heap and paid for a properly constructed mattress of eight courses, said Major Gillette. E. R. Comant, of Brunswick, Ga., in spector under Carter, said that in con tracts for Cumberland Sound, log mat tresses were not put in, but ibrush mat tresses, much cheaper .than the logs, were used. A letter from Carter to Colone Craifrhill. was read. iln this Carter stated that he disapproved the use of logs and brush near Fernandina, Flor ida. Major Gillette explained that the teredo is extremely plentiful in be nandina waters, and exceedingly de structive to wood. The governments contention is that despite this know! prift and view of Carter, the latter recommended logs and brush for use in the jetty work. Adjournment was taken until Mon day. 1.000 PEOPLE 3IADE HOMELESS , Town of Littleton Almost Devastated bv the Flames Much Suffering on Account of the Coldl 1 Wheeling, W. Va., February 10.
