Suspend Rates to Be
Increased
[Associated Press}
"WASHINGTON. May Whether
the railroad bill shall prohibit, flatly,

from, the time during which the com
mission may suspend increased rates,
was the question before the senate
when it adjourned today.
The session was devoted to discus
sion of amendments by Messrs. Cum
mins, noran ana Doiuver.
The suggestion of the extension of
the time during which the commission
may suspend rates for investigation
was made by Senator Martin. He
proposed to amend the Cummins' pro
vision by inserting a clause requiring
"a final decision shall be rendered
within six months from the date in
which the schedule is filed."
It was immediately taken up by a
number of senators on both sides and
soon became the basis of general cloak
room discussion of a compromise.
Senator Aidrich and his followers an
nounced their willingness to accept it,
and Senators Dolliver and Cummins
indicated a favorable Inclination., Sen
ator Rayner stated openly in the sen
ate his willingness to adopt the sug
gestion, and a number of other Demo
crats privately acquiesced in his ut
terances.
Many senators predicted its accept
ance when the question comes to a
vote.

tigation which is expected to disclose

The principal speaker today was
Delegate James Wickersham, who
made charges against Governor Clark,
ex-Governor Hoggatt and Louis

publican national committee from Al
aska. The Alaska delegate sought to
connect these men with the Guggen
heim interests.
Boyce and Sutherland are not seek
ing to be restored to office. They say
they desire nothing more than to place
before the senate the facts as they see
them, connected with their removal.
According to their story, they incurred
the enmity of the Guggenhelms be
cause of their prosecution and convic
tion of Ed Hazey on the charge of
having shot and killed two men in
Keystone canyon in October, 190,.
Hazey was employed by the Guggen
heim s.

SAYS MAN ATTACKED HER
WHILE BABE WAS DYING
Woman Hurrying to Death Bed in
Auto Claims Driver Dragged
Her from the Car
to The Herald)
SAX BERNARDINO, May 24.—
While Mrs. Lawson, who is connected
with the Los Angeles sheriff's office,
was frantically endeavoring to reach
the bedside of her dying baby at hej
home, she alleges she was subjected
to insulting proposals by a man named
Bailey, who had been employed to
drive her in his automobile to Los
Angeles from this city last night. Be
tween Rialto and Cucamonga he drove
his machine into a side road and en
deavored to drag her from the seat,
she says. After a fierce struggle Mrs.
Lawson escaped and after walking for
several miles met a teamster, who
brought her to this city.
Her baby died at 1 o'clock this morn
ing, while she was miles away tramp
ing about the rocky regions surround
ing the place where the alleged as
sault was attempted.
Mrs. Lawfon, accompanied by Mr?.
Wood, a nurse, and Deputy Sheriff
George Van Fleet and J. Margolis of
Los Angeles, had brought several in
sane patients to the hospital at Pat
ton, and when they reached here the
last train had departed for Los An
geles. During the early part of the
night Mrs. Lawson received a message
that her baby was dying.
Bailey, who is the agent for an au
tomobile concern and reaches San Ber
nardino occasionally, was hired to
drive Mrs. Lawson to Los Angeles and,
she says, had it not been for his ac
tions she would have reached home be
fore her baby died.
A warrant was sworn out for Bail
ev'a arrest and he was captured to
night at Santa Ana and will be re
turned here tomorrow.
BAIMTY DENIES STORY
SANTA ANA, May 24.-G. D. Bailey,
local agent for the Brush automobile,
is held in the city jail here for the
authorities at San Bernardino who
today asked the local police to detain
him According to his story Bailey is
charged with a crime of which he has
no knowledge.
Bailey's account of what happened
differs materially from that sent out
from San Bernardino. The auto man
says he was in the Gate City Monday
and shortly after dark a woman whom
he did not know asked him to take her
to Los Angelea In the machine, as she
was in a hurry to get there because of
the death of her child. A price of $10
was agreed on and th. woman and
Bailey started.
About three miles out of San Bnr
nardino, the auto became stuck in the
sand and the woman declared she
would walk to town. Bailey alleges
she disappeared and he called on a
farmer for help. They pulled the ma
chine out of the sand and Bailey
passed the night in the farmer's barn.
The next morning he went to Colton,
then to Pomona and on home, being
arrested her at 5 o'clock this after
noon.

Probable Proceedings in
Federal Courts

orous action to prevent th<> Increased
freight rates proposed by western rail
roads was decided upon by a meeting
