Interstate Commerce Commis
sioners Suggest Amend
ments to Measure
Limitation Recommended to the
Jurisdiction of Proposed
Court to Stay Orders
WASHINGTON. Feb. 21.— 1n a formal
Statement submitted to President Taft
and to the house and senate committee
the Interstate commerce commission has
suggested certain changes in the inter
state commerce measure pending in
rongreas.
The bill as a whole is approved by
the commission and in its statement the
commission expresses its gratification
"flißt this measure embodies most, if
r»<»t all. of the principal recommenda
tions heretofore made to congress, ex
cept the valuation of railroad proper
ties, and also contains provisions of
great Importance which, in their gen
eral scope, are unanimously indorsed."
LIMITING COLRT I'OWKR
However, the commission recommends
that "the bill be co amended as to con
tain the explicit statement that the
commerce court shall have no juris
diction or power over orders of the
commission not now possessed by cir
cuit courts of the United States.
"We are of the opinion that a single
judge of the commerce court should not
b*» empowered to stay an order of the
commission," says the commissioners*
statement, "and the suggestion is made
that such a stay may be granted only
by the court or a majority of the
judges thereof."
SUSPENSION OK RATE
In- the suspension of a proposed rate
the commission desires 120 days instead
of 60 days, as proposed by the bill.
It is maintained that the commission
should have power to compel through
rates and joint rates whenever in its
opinion they are required by public
necessity.
If it Is the intention of congress to
give shippers the right to choose be
tween two or more routes, in the rout
ing of traffic, the commission believes
that intention should be expressed l
plainly in the proposed law.
WOULD INCLUDE WATER I.I.YES
Concerning the purchase of one road
by another road, the commission says:
"We see no reason why the prohi
bition that one* road shall not acquire
any interest In a competing road should
not be extended so as to prohibit the
acquiring of any interest in a compet-
Ao amendment is suggested to. in
clude water lines.
A similar amendment is proposed to
prevent the control of competing lines
by a holding company.
ATTOH.VEV GEXBBAI. EXPLAINS
Attorney <ieneral Wickersham ap
peared before the senate committee on
interstate commerce late today and ex
plained in detail the latest administra
tion changes desired in the bill.
It had been expected that an effort
would be made today to bring the sub
ject to a vote and that the bill might be
ordered favorably reported, but Wick
ersham's Ftatement consumed so much
time tiiat it was decided to hold an
other meeting tomorrow.
Senator Cummins, author of the rival
railroad bill, examined the attorney
general with great care concerning
many features of the administration
bill that conflict with his own bill. At
the s*ame time he did not condemn the
administration bill and the indications
are that no great difficulty will be en
.\u25a0•luntered in reaching an agreement for
a. report.
TARIFF AM> FREE TRADE
At the hearing before the house
committee Interstate Commerce Com
missioner Clements suggested that it
was getting into the question of pro
t«-<-tive tariff and free trade when the
committee brought up the long and
short haul problem with particular ref
erence to lower railroad rat»s for goods
shipped to and from abroad.
The railroad reply to criticism of
that discrimination, h-e paid, was that
:f they did not allow the lower rates
the Canadian railroads or some other
routing arrangement would. * :
He suggested that the committee
might include in the proposed legisla
tion a provision permitting a maximum
j»er cent' of difference between these
fo'-ej^n rates and the domestic rates or
the committee might vest in the inter
state commerce commission discretlon
nry power to deal with each particular
caff. \u25a0
THE EXPRESS BUSINESS
He raid that there is very little com
prtition between the various express
companies operating: over the different
railroads and that the Mann-Townsend
V.iilfi would give the commission much
wider scope in regulating express com
panies.
lie concluded that it was possible
that railroads might handle the express
business themselves just as they now
handle excess baggage of commercial
ira\ r elers.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 2i.— The Ftate

from the United States, whose nunu-s
were at one time upon the tongue of
every person in the Rocky mountain
region, have taken up residence in the

Logan was the most desperate and by
far the most resourceful of. them all.
He tias fought and killed officers of the
law, and no prison has been strong
enough to hold him. It Is said that the
Union Pacific railway alone ha* spent
a half million dollars In trying to cap

LIBRARY SITE IS
TIED UP BY COURT
Long Tells Supervisors They
Can Not Use It for Tem
porary City Hall
That the plan of the board of super
visors to use the library site at Hayes
and Franklin streets for a temporary
city hall can not be put into execution
and that some other lbcation must be
chosen is the essence of the opinion
of City Attorney Percy V. Long, given
last week at the request of the board.
Objections have been- raised to the
use of the site at Seventh and Har
risan streets, now devoted to the chil
dren's playgrounds, for city hall pur
poses, on the double grounds that it
it would be an out of the way location
for a public building and that it would
deprive the children of the vicinity
of a tract devoted to thtlr pleasure.
The objection to th<» library site,
while not dependent upon the same
grounds, is seemingly as substantial.
This was the first site considered by the
board of supervisors in connection with
Its policy to provide a temporary build
ing. A communication was sent to
the city attorney asking for an opinion
upon the legal rights of the board to
use the ground for this purpose, but
the suggestion met with a decided set
back. '
Long advised the board that it had
no power to divert the library lot to
use for a city hall. He based this
opinion upon an injunction Issued by
Judge Seawoll nearly three years ago.
restraining the Duffey board of works
from entering upon the library block
to <?rect a city hall at the time the
Gallagher board of supervisors desired
the nork done. Long held that the
Injunction, as well as the reasons for
its issuance, was still in force.
Aside from the legal aspect of the
question the board of library trustees
has objected to the use of the city
library lot upon other grounds. The
point has been made that the city
records should not be allowed in a
temporary frame structure, liable to
fire, and that It would be far better
to erect a structure upon the city hall
site which might later be Incorpor
ated in the larger building as a part
of the general plan.

ADMINISTRATOR SUES
MINING MAN'S WIDOW
Demands Valuable Stock for
Estate of Frank M. Stone
Public Administrator Hynes, as ad
ministrator of the estate of Frank M.
Stone, mining man, who died June 7,
ISOS, sued yesterday to recover posses
sion of 841,150 shares of the Alaska
treasure consolidated mines, said to be
worth about 30 cents a share.
In 1905 all the stock of the company,
owned by Stone, John G. Lynch, James
H. Borland, John S. Blake, W. Han
son and Percy T. Morgan, was by
agreement placed in trust with Mor
gan, who issued certificates showing
the amount of stock held for each
share holder. The certificates for the
841,150 shares placed in the trust by
.Stone is now held by his widow, Mrs.
Frances Stone, and although Hynes as
administrator has demanded the certi
ficate from her she refuses to give it
up. Morgan, as trustee, also refuses to
cancel the certificate on his book.
The public administrator asks the
court to decree that the estate Is the
absolute owner of the stock and to
direct Morgan to cancel the certificate
issued to Stone. \u25a0'*\u25a0;\u25a0 \
CONFEDERATE VETERANS
;/ MEET WITH OPPOSITION
Use of Army Tents at Reunion
Is Fought
WASHINGTON.' Feb. 21.— Like Sena
tor Heyburn, Representative Scott of
Kansas objected to the proposition of
the government sending a number of
army tents for the confederate vet
erans' reunion at Mobile in April.
The measure, following favorable
action upon it by the house committee
on miljtary affairs, reached the "unan
imous calendar, and when an
effort was made to obtain considera
tion for it today in the house, Scott
objected and it went over until "Wednes
day, when it will be brought, up in
regular order.
Scott said his objection was due to
the attitude of his constituents who
were opposed to it. It Is known that
the G. A. R. is very strong In Scott's

BATLLE FOR CHILD
TAKES NEW TURN
Attempt Is Madeto Show That
Millionaire Adams Was In*
timate With Nurse
Hotel Employes Are Questioned
in Search for Grounds of
Extradition
[Special Dispalch to The Call]
SAN JOSE, Feb. 21.— -Balked in an at
tempt to secure " the extradition froni
Arizona of L>. B. Adams the New York
capitalist who is accused of attempt
ing to kidnap his 9 year old son, the
San Francisco police department is
seeking fresh evidence upon which to
base requisition proceedings. With
this object in view an attempt was
made in this city today to secure proof
that an offense was committed" by the
capitalist in Santa Clara, county which
would make him amenable to extra
dition for an entirely different crime
than that named in the original accu
sation.
The original charge of child steal
ing was brought by Adams' wife and
mother in law, Mrs. John S. Kimball,
of San Francisco. '
It was learned recently that Adams,"
the nurse and the boy stopped at the
Hotel Vendome In this city immediately
after the kidnaping was alleged to
have occurred, and , the district attor
ney of Santa Clara county was . re
quested by the police of San Francisco
to Investigate the manner in which
they lived, and more ! particularly
Adams' conduct toward the nurse.
With this object in view the house
maids and some of the servants In the
Hotel Vendome were closely questioned
today by Assistant District Attorney;
James P. Rex and Police Detective
Starbird.
The statements were to the effect
that Adams and the nurse occupied
adjoining rooms at the hotel with a
door between them. The district at
torney's office stated tonight that there
was not sufficient evidence upon which
to base a charge and that a. warrant
could not besecured in this county.

HOLD CONFERENCE
Hiram Johnson Meets Accused
Sanatorium Head for the
First Time
Grand Jury Expected to Com
plete Inquiry Into the
Explosion Friday
[Special Dispatch lo The Call]
SANTA ROSA, Feb.' 2l. — "It's a most
remarkable case," said Attorney Hiram
Johnson this afternoon, after spend
ing two hours with Dr. Wtllard P.
Burke, under bonds In the sum of $20,
000, on the charge of using explosives
wlth-intent.to injure a human being, as
the result. of the explosion at Burkes
sanatorium Saturday night, February 3,
when Lou Etta Smith and her 11 months
old child narrowly escaped death. -A- •
Johnson came up on the afternoon
train from San Francisco and went to
the office of Attorney J. Rollo Leppo,
with whom he will be associated in the
defense of Doctor Burke when the case
comes to trial. It was the first time
the two attorneys had ever met, and
the first time Johnson had met Doctor
Burke was when he entered the office
to participate in the consultation. The
purpose of Johnson's visit was .to fa
miliarize himself with the facts in the
case and meet his client.
.When seen at the train just prior to
leaving town- Johnson said he would re
turn the latter part of the week for
another consultation, and by that time
he • expected the investigation of the
case by the grand Jury would be com
pleted. Until that time there would be
nothing for the defense to do.
District Attorney Clarence F. Lea and
his assistant, O. W. Hoyle, have been
engaged today on other matters and
nothing has been done on the Burke
case. \u25a0
The grand Jury will resume its In
quiry Thursday morning, and it is said
there are still about 15 witnesses to
be examined. These witnesses are the
ones who will bring the facts de
veloped right to the door of the accused.
Whether the case can be concluded in
one day is doubtful, and it Is not ex
pected that the grand jury will be
ready to pass on the case before Friday
afternoon at the earliest.
