REGULARS PATCH
RAILROAD BILL TO
SUIT THEMSELVES
Bailey's Challenge to Supreme
Court Turned Down by
Aldrich Forces
BEAT LAFOLLETTE MEASURE
Changes Bring Water Competi
tion Matters Under Jurisdic
tion of Commerce Body
WASHINGTON, June I.—By a vote
of •>.', to 31 the senate today re
fused to challenge the supreme
court of the United States to annul
their decision regarding the right of
common carriers to transport com
modities produced by themselves,
The vote was taken upon an amend
mcin to the railroad bill offered by
Senator Bailey, making it unlawful
for an" railroad to transport from one
state to another "any article or com
modity manufactured, mined or pro
duced by it or under its authority, or
by any corporation, Joint stock com
pany or partnership as said railroad
company holds, owns or controls di
rectly or indirectly."
The amendment was intended to rem
edy the supposed defect in the com
modifies clause of the Hepburn act of
1906, out of which grew the famous
decision of the supreme court, in which
the government undertook to prosecute
a number of roads engaged in the min
ing of anthracite coal in Pennsylvania.
The court held the law to be constitu
tional, but materially limited its ap
plication.
The original provision was drawn by
Senator Bailey and he sought by to
day's amendment to force the court to
face squarely the question of the right
of congress to prohibit railroads from
transporting commodities produced by
themselves.
In good natured manner, but with
pointed language, he criticised the
court and said he intended to make
tho language of the present provision
so plain that "not even a Judge of the
supreme court could fail to understand
The time consumed In debate on the
Bailey amendment prevented a final
vote on the bill today.
UAFOI.I.KTTE IyOSKS FIGHT
The first vote of tho day enme on the
LaFollette amendment providing for
the ascertainment of the physical valu
ation fit railroads as a basis for the
fixing of rates. The amendment waJ
defeated, 25 to .10. A modified provision
by Mr Simmons requiring such valua
tion of property affected by any given
case also was lost. 28 to 30.
The tendency to bring water trans
portation under the Jurisdiction of the
Interstate commerce commission found
expression in two amendments, one by
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
and the other by Senator Burton of
Ohio. Both amendments were ac
cepted.
The first was presented in connect on
with the long and short haul provision
heretofore adopted. It provided that
"when application is made to the com
mission by a carrier to fix a lower rate
for longer than for shorter distances,
because of water competition, said ap
plication shall not bo granted if the
commission, after investigation, shall
find that the lower rate asked for will
destroy- water competition."
Following is the text of the Burton
amendment:
"Whenever a railway or railways, in
competition with a water route or
routes, shall reduce the rates on the
carriage of any species of fre.ght, it
shall not be permitted to increase such
rates unless, after hearing by the in
terstate commerce commission, It shall
be found that proposed increase rests
upon changed conditions other than the
diminution or the decrease In water
competition, and the said commission
hereby is given the right to prescribe
minimum railroad rates on lines com
peting with waterways, whenever in its
opinion the object of the railroad or
railroads in reducing rates is to de
stroy waterway competition. '
UORE AMKND.MKNTS I' ASS
Mr. Elklns also accepted an amend
ment offered by Senator Shively, as he
did a second amendment suggested by
Senator Burton.
The Shively provision authorizes suits
for damage growing out. of the failure
of the railroads to supply a written
statement of the rate for carrying a
given shipment from one place to an
other, awarding a penalty of *2oU for
such failure.
The Burton second amendment Im
poses on carriers a penalty of $5000 for
eliciting and divulging Information con
cerning the character or destination of
a given shipment.
In the Bailey amendment, as in the
case of the vote on the LaFollettc phy
sical valuation amndment. all the nega
tive votes were cast by "regular" Re
publicans. Fourteen Democrats and
eleven Republicans voted for the Bailey
amendment.
After the defeat of the Bailey amend
ment, Mr. Crawford introduced a sim
ilar provision, so modified as to per
mit a railroad company to transport
articles of its own production, alter
they had been disposed of for ninety
days through bona tide .-ale. This
amendment was pending when tiie sen
ate adjourned and Will be the first
business in order tomorrow.

ROADS TO FIGHT
FOR HIGHER RATE
Twenty-Five Railways to Send
Representatives to St.
Louis Conference
ST. LOUIS, June I.—St. Louia at
torneys for railroads Interested in the
government suit to restrain western
railroads from advancing freight rates
in the Western Trunk Line territory
received telephone calls from Gardner
Lathrop, general solicitor of the Santa
Pc system, for a conference at Chi
cago Friday. The object of the con
ference is to prepare for a vigorous
contest of the government's suit.
The principal ground upon which the
suit will be* fought is the contention
thare is an agreement among the rail
roada to advance rates in violation
of the Sherman anti-trust law.
]f any agreement at all is admitted
the railroads will contend that it is
legal and necessary, because of pres
ent industrial conditions, to protect the
Interests of the general public.
That tho railroads aye members of
the Western Trunk line, an official
said, does not indicate they are in
agreement, because the schedule of
rates, promulgated by the Western
Trunk line committee, is not binding
up in the members without their ex
press consent.
The order nf Judge David P. Dyer,
restraining the twenty-five roads was
placed in the hands of the United
States marshal here tonight. Three of
the companies having general offices
here will be served tomorrow. They
are the Missouri Pacific, the Wabash
and the St. Louis & San Francisco.
Copies of the order were sent tonight
to Chicago, Kansas City, St. Paul and
Parsons, Kas., whore, general offices
of the various railroads arc located.
Though the temporary injunction is
not effective until served on all roads,
It was announced here no effort had
been made today to collect the ad
vanced rate, unless at distant points,
because rescinding orders had not had
time to reach them.
Railway officials said most of the
road 9 hud anticipated the Increased
revenue from the new rates and had
planned extensive Improvements, which
will probably bo hold up.
Frederick N. Judson said tonight he.
had born retained as special counsel
in tin* rate case, and as .'inch would
be an assistant to tho attorney general.
The railroads may petition to dissolve
the retraining- order. If they fail In
(his. the petition of the government
for a permanent injunction probably
will come up July o, the date on which
tho order to bo served by marshals
tomorrow has boon made returnable.

Following Suicide of Former
Pasadena Sweetheart
SANTA ANA, June I.—Miss Bertha
Sehaetz, for love of whom Burr West
| lake of Pasadena committed suicide
early last Sunday in h>T home at San
Diego, was married in this city at
noon today to Harry Sale, a traveling
saksman of San Francisco. The mar
riage license was issued at Santa Ana
yesterday and the Rev. A. R. Road
house, pastor of the First Christian
church, performed the ceremony im
mediately after Miss Sehaetz' arrival
today from San Diego. The marriage
took place at the parsonage, 5n5 Spur
geon street.
Miss Sehaetz and Mr. Sale arrive.l in
Santa Ana at 11:45 o'clock, direct from
San Diego, and hurried immediately
to the parsonage. The bride did not
appear perturbed by the tragedy in
which she played such a prominent
part only three days before, and
seemed anxious that her marriage take
place us quickly as possible.
Mrs. Sale originally intended that
her marriage should take place in San
Diego, at the homo which last Sunday
was the scene of the tragedy, but
Westlake's suicide, of course, made
this Impossible, so her plans were
hastily revised, and the trip to Santa
Ana decided on.
Mrs. Sale st.ited her marriage was
not sudden, but that she and Mr. Sale
had been engaged for several weeks
before the tragedy.
Westlake, the Pasadcnnn who killed
himself at the Sehaetz home just af
ter the young woman returned from the
theater witli her fiancee, was married,
and had a wife in the Crown City, but
the y.iung woman denied all knowledge
Of this fact, and maintained after the
shooting- that she had m>t encouraged
Westlake, but had frequently told him
she would not marry him, ami had
ignored his attentions. The facl that
mi.' would not reciprocate is believed in
have led to his dramatic Bulcide.
Mr. and Mrs. Sale came, to L.os An
geles after the 'ceremony, and will ro
from I^os Angeles to San Francisco.
They will go Irom there to Kneiand,
whore Mr. Sale's parents live, and la
tor will make their home in San Fran
clsco.
