HEPBURN RATE BILL IN House Committee's Statement Ex plains Purpose of Measure. Washington. Jan. 27. -Chairman Hepburn to-day reported to the House his Railro^i Rate, bill with the favorable "recommendation or the entire Repub li.-an nnd Democratic naaaabarahip of the interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, The Mil will come up in the House next week. The report la .i comprehensive explanation of the measure. Before giving details as to the intention of each section, the Statement is mad* that the bill In the product of several years' consideration by the committee. It is made up from the nineteen Mils which were before the committee, and the in formation contained in five volumes of hearings before th* Senate and the House committees. The ne«>d for the proposed legislation is said to be emphasised by the demand »ii shippers have been making for years. The object of the bill is Btsnpty to amend the present Interstate Commerce law. which has been in force for twe: years, so as to give the Interstate Commerce. Commission more power an] make clearer some of the pro visions of # the law. No attempt is made to authorise the commission to readjust freight classification. which Mr. Hep burn gays hig committee considers a much greater power over rales than that given In the bill. T'nder the measure the Initiative In rate making Is not given to the commission, but under a grant of power to establish a system of freight classifies tion it would have authority to take the Initiative, little complaint, it if aald, has been heard against clagpiflcatloa. In attempting to correct the shipping evils the bill provides, first, a broader definition of the words "railroads' and "transportation.' so as to include within the Jurisdiction of the commission the reg ulation of switches, private cars and terminal charge*. Icing charts are required to be Included In the published tariff schedules, and thirty days" notice is required to be given before changes are madt 1 in these schedules. This latter requirement is to obviate what is known as 'midnight tariffs.' In considering a complaint the Commission will have authpri^y to find a "conclusion" Instead of as at present finding "facts and conclusions."" Facts are to be Included in the flndirg only when damages are to be awarded. It Is Section * of the bill which confers power on the commission t" establish a tate or to de clare what will be a proper charge in a certain Instance. Th* report fays in this connection thai it is just to the commission to etate that none of Its members think it wise that authority to take the Initiative in rate making should be conferred upon it. Its Jurisdiction Is confined to cases where complaint had been made, when It Is authorized to declare what shall be a "jus' and reasonable and fairly remunerative rate or rates, charge or charge*, to be- thereafter observed in such csso as the maximum to be charged; and what regula tion <>r practice in respr-<( to such transportation Is Just, fair and reasonable thereafter to be fol lowed, and to make an order that the carrier shall cease and desist from such violation to the extent to which the commission find the same to exist, and shall not thereafter publibl., demand or collect any rat*- or charge for curb transportation In excess of the maximum rate or charge so prescribe^ and shall conform to the regnlatl or piactic%.<o pre, scribed." This order is to go Into efTer* thirty days after notice to the carrier, and to remain in force unless suspended, modified or Ee t aside by the commission or court of competent Jurisdiction. The existence of the order is limited to a period of tin re years, it ll explained that the word 'maximum" was u.^erj In order that some flexibility might be given the rate, and that the carrier ■ tight charge a. less sum than that fixed by the. mmmiseion The commis sion is empowered to fix the maximum allowance to a shipper who furnisher his own cars or any in strumentality of transportation. Additional requirements and restrictions are pro vided on th,- stfbjeet of awarding damage?, roeelr ing complaint*, giving notice of hearings, etc. A penalty of $5,00f» is provided for violation of an order of the commission. Th« commission may employ counsel with the consent of the Attorney General. Authority is given to the shipper to apply to the Circuit Court for the enforcement of the commis sion's orders The court Is to enforce this order by means of injunction Appeals may be taken to the Supreme Court direct, and such cases are to have priority over nil others, except criminal cases. Authority is given the commission to prescribe the exact manner in which reports shall h« made by common earners, and the manner in which rall rojtds are to ke*»p their accounts, with a penalty provision against non-compliance Access may be had all time to the books of the carriers. ,v A fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for two years is the penalty provide,! fn r refusal to nllow of" P « ert h c the ww ' miTllssiDn to exam in th»- books The bill , provides for two additional members of the commission, the. term of E ervlc* for a com- Sjl'r^to f5B& lTirr *' tt!

Washington, Jan. 17.— Secretary Taft was again before the Finance Committee of the Senate to-day, and it was saM by Senator Bailey, who introduced the resolution regarding the monetary conditions In Panama, that the Secretary left nothing to Investi gate. Mr. Ball»y said he would like to give the Secre tary of War ths opportunity to deny that he had attempted to make an agreement as Secretary of War which. If made by the Secretary of State, would have required the approval of the Senate. The rial was mad* by the Secretary, who then said: When Congress or the Senate, by law or treaty. puts an executive officer in a position where mi duty Is to do something in a foreign country which reaulrea a temporary arrangement, that arrange ment si mount* to a modus vivendi— which means a method of living together which is a method or getting over a temporary difficulty. Ha added that this government was much Inter (sted In having a stable currency established on the Isthmus, and he thought the President had power to authorize him to make this temporary arrange ment. "But 1 think when an officer commits hi* govern ment to maintain the parity of the currency of a foreign power he baa done something he had no authority to do." said Senator Bailey. Secretary Tafi. in reply, called attention to the agreement itself, which was as follow?. The Isthmian Car.al Commission shall 00-op«rat« with the public of Panama to maintain the par ity of tho fractional silver coinage of the ««pur>l|. Of Panama with the gold standard hj ■ the b*l» of drafts ni.on its funds at reasonable rates and «»n terms which will t*nd to prevent the dlMiirbane* of ■ucb parity. All members of the committee agreed that a promise to • operate With Panama did not commit this government to maintain the parity <: the sil ver of Panama, especially as it was set forth m what manner th* '-anal rommis*!nn agreed to lend its aid. At the forme:- hearing the Secretary ?aid that he had thought the .-lau«e in the agreement by which the Canal Commission undertook to make the Pan ama currency l^gal tender and to maintain its parity had been stricken out. Commenting upon the statement, Senator Bailey aatd that had been the only poiQt on utn. 1. he desired light. Ha said that the- contract with the bankers by which the Canal Commission agreed to use the Panaman cur rency on the isthmus was a business arrange ment the Secretary of War had the right to make, and the Finance Committee would not be warranted In Investtgsttnff whether the deal had be»n a profit able on*. Senator Bailey thought the Secretary of Wai should make himself understood, however, concern ing language used In a conference with the xPan aman fiscal commission for entering upon this arrangement. The question had i>een raised wheth er the proposed arrangement could be made with out a treaty or whether the Secretary of War had not the authority to proceed under the canal act In the proceedings of that conference Secretary Taft la quoted as saying: The only authority I have, is to act for the com mu<cir.n The authority which the Secretary of State °wouW hay« 1. an authority which necessarily inVolve. the treaty making power and goes to th« <-,„.. v .- we don't want to uo tnat. iw Po"fomce' Department makes a lot of arrange^ ments which never go to the Senate at all. < and t>ii« t think might properly be made by m* a. .rVrfV™ 'representing the Isthmian Canal Commfsslon. with your government They uav>. th^dlahunement of $1^.000.000 for this very pui - Do=f and 1 do not see why it 1, not sufficient **- ?Srltyfor you. if you adopt that law gating the Panama, currency item), to say that we -win ■übscrlbe to its terms. When this question was raised to-day there fol lowed a long technical discussion of the powers of the Secretary of War under the Spooner act and the powers of an executive department to proceed under authority granted by a general law. senator BalW fiiid h.- had serious doubt whether an execu tive (rlcer could make a contract with a foreign government, which involved the essence of a treaty. Svnator Hpooner replied that unquestionably that c£u3 , ot be done-, but that Secretary Tatt had dis avowed any Intention of making such an agree ment The Secretary provoked laughter by remark inu that he had tried to hay* th« e«nal transferred to the Secretary of State, but that the Secretary of ! State was wine enough to decline. He then *ald that the language he had used In the. conference ws i it her unfortonate. but that it bad been his 1 mirDO^e to show the Panaman agents that this I government was not entering into a treaty but into a tentative agreement terminable at any time.

This accumulation is the direct re sult of the tremendous Fall and holiday business done by the Aeolian Company. Numerous ex changes for the Pianola Piano and for the Metro style Pianola are directly accountable for this con dition If this accumulation of used Pianolas could be immediately placed in homes where they would be seen and heard by new circles of music-lover?, they would prove the most effective advertisement that could possibly be put out.
