Washington, June 9. After a call
at the White House yesterday with
Senator Aldrlch, to learn the presi
dent's views, Senator Klklns announc
ed that ho would call a mooting of
the conferees on the railroad bill to
morrow. While the insurgent senators were
announcing that It must be the senate
Mil or nothing, and declaring they
were prepared to fight nil summer If
necessary, the president Indicated two
changes bo would like to see tuado In
the bill In addition to the elimination
of tho sixty-day clause la the para
graph giving the Interstate commerce
commission tho right to Investigate
and suspend new rates.
Mr. Taft Is anxious that the house
provision for a supervision of the Is
suance of Blocks and bonds by the rail
road companies bo accepted by the
senate, lie, regards this feature as one
of the pledges of the party and he
does not agree with tho position of
many of the senators that such provi
sion could be construed as Interfering
with state's rights.
Tho president bel'eves the tea
months allowed the Interstate com
merce commission In which to investi
gate rates before acting on them Is
entirely too long. He thinks six
months would be a better period.
President Taft told both Senators
Klklns rnd Aldrlch yesterday that he
was anxious that the conference should
proceed its rapidly as possible and
that there should bo a satisfactory bill.
Announcing their willingness to re
main In Washington nil summer If
necessary, republican "Insurgents" of
the senate today Indicated that they
would fight to the last ditch for the
retention in the railroad bill of the
advantages which they claim to have
gained for the people.
Senator Klklns and Representative
Mann of Illinois, representing the con
ference of the two houses of congress,
will confer to outline a programme for
tho conference committee.
"We have sent for our hot weather
clothes and are prepared to stay here
until September," declared Senators
Dolliver, LaFollette and Brlstow, when
asked whether the action of the house
in sending the bill to the conference
meant delay In final action on the
measure.

LWOliM OF AGREEMENT

REIVE BALLU
By Associated Press.
Washington. D. C, June 1.,. Briefs
were filed by the attorneys for the
"prosecution" and defense, with the
Ballinger-l'inchot Investigation com
mittee today. Attorney Brandels,
counsel for (llavls and Attorney Pep
per, counsel for ex-Chief Forester Pin-
with tho president It will be Incum-Jchot contend, In their briefs that the
bent on the eastern linea to cancel the
advances which they made to be effec
tive about July 1.
It probably will be nearly a year be
fore an adjustment of the rates can be
made by the commission. Mr. Hosmer
of Chicago, an agent of the Western
Trunk Line association, today filed
with the commission a tariff canceling
the advance In rates on wool from St.
Paul and Minneapolis, Minn., to New
York and Boston. The advance was 10
cents a hundred pounds, to be effective
July 1. These rates were not affected
by the Injunction obtained by the gov
ernment, but the old rates were re
stored In accordance with the agree
ment reached by the officials of the
western roads with President Taft. It
Is expected that within a few days all
evidence adduced during the Investiga
tion has shown that Secretary Hallln
ger Is unfit to administer the affairs of
the public domain, because of his ob
vious leaning toward the policy of dis
tribution, Instead of conservation of
the people's land, VertreeB will at
tempt to show by the evidence that
there has been a conspiracy afoot to
secure Hallinger's removal from office,
because he did not approve of the so
called "Garfield policies."
Fire at Centralia. H
Two store buildings at Centralia
were destroyed by fire early Friday
morning. The total loss Is estimated
at $7,000. One of the buildings was

REFORMS ADVOCATED
BY GOVERNOR HAY
Spokane, Wash., June 13. Sweep
ing reforms in the government of the
state of Washington are advocated by
Governor Marlon E. Hay In a letter
to the State Grange. He favors chang
ing the constitution and nominating
by direct vote only United States sen
ators, congressmen, governor and lieu
tenant governor and the state legisla
tive and county tickets, the rest of
the state officials, Including Judges of
the supreme court, to bo appointed by
the governor. Other changes outlined
In Governor Hay's letter follow:
"I am In favor of the recall over our
public officials. Rest assured that I
will be with you to the very limit In
this.
"I am In favor of the state controll
ing tho limiting of bond Issues of pub
lic service corporations and believe It
unwise to allow them to Issue bonds
Indiscriminately, ns they have been
doing In the past. We are compelled to
pay excessive rates, so that their stock
will bear a reasonable return upon the
face of It. In other words, we are
having to pay dividends upon too much
water.
"I am In favor of the county unit
for local option, with the possible ex
ception of eliminating cities of the
first class from the county unit. Coun
ties In which there are cities of the
first class would have two units, and
as a further restriction upon this traf
fic I ex poet to recommend to the next
legislature to pass a bill confirming
the salo of liquor to daylight hours
only In such communities where Its
sale Is permitted by law."

Destroy Party But is Trying
to Upbuild It.
ed and his speeches were referred to
without reserve.
Defining with tho decla;ation that
tariff discussion had been revived be
cause of the tariff law, Mr. Dolliver
declared there was no longer any free
dom of conscience or of opinion bueh
as had once made the republican party
strong. Referring briefly to Speaker
Cannon's declaration In a speech "that
the Insurgents t'hould be hanged," he
declared that he would not treat that
remark seriously.
"Hereafter," said Mr. Dolliver, "It
was evident that men entering con
gress must become either understudies
or Ishmaelites.
"I reject the terms and shall con
tend for Independence within the par
ty. I do not fight to destroy the party,
but to upbuild it," he said.
Discussing the president's course to
wards the "Insurgents," Mr. Dolliver
declared they were not playing for
popularity, as had been charged, and,
speaking of hia personal relations to
the president, he declared he had nev
er done anything to Injure the admin
istration. "Such a charge does mo the gravest
Injury," he declared. "None rejoiced
more sincerely than I when he won
the nomination. I did what I could
to promote his candidacy for the pres
idency. I supported him from one
ocean to the other after ho became a
candidate. When he took the oath of
office I had but one sentiment towards
him and that was the hope that God
would give him power te stand against
the conspiracy of greed and avarice
that would enslave the party."

Washington, June 14. Senator Dolli
ver answered the criticisms of the "in
surgents" Monday In a speech deliver
ed in the senate during the discus
sion of the provision of the sundry
chil appropriation bill providing $2.10,
()00 to enable the president to gather
Information bearing upon the opera
tion of the new tariff law.
Senator Clay's motion to strike out
the provision was lost by a party vote
of 13 to 41, Mr. Dolliver and his fellow
progressives voting with the regular
republicans. The sundry civil bill,
carrying appropriations aggregating
$118,000,000, then was passed.
Mr. Dolliver's speech attracted wide
