Cattlemen Fear Fate of Bill Extending
the Time In the Cars.
MANN MEASURE WILL DO
If Nothing Better Caa Be Secnred In-
crease of Secretary of Agriculture's
Power the Main Objection Ho
Legislation May Besnlt
WASHINGTON AprU L-Himlwra of con-
(tcm rpnMntins cattl fiowln districts la
th Wt mn4 Bouthwect ar more tban a lit-
tle fcpprvboulv aa to th fata or the blU
reported by the houae committee on Inter-
atate aod foreign commerce for the purpoee
of correcting the evlla exlatlng In the pres-
ent laws regarding the unloading of stork tn
transit. Representative Mann of Illinois who
la In the midst of a warm campaign for re-
election haa gone to hla home In Chicago and
may be detained there for some weeks. Hlnce
he Is m charge qf the bill. It Is feared that
undue delay will result unless some arrange-
ment Is made for placing It In tbe hands of
another member.
As has been heretofore stated In these dis-
patches the representatives of the stock
raising districts are not disposed to oppose
the bill reported by the committee If It Is
seen that a better arrangement than that
proposed In the bill can not be made. What
the cattlemen want Is a atatute providing
that on the written request of the shippers
cattle In transit may be kept in cars for as
king as 3 hours without uiuoadlng. The blU
reported by the committee delegLites lo the
secretary of agriculture the power to extend
the time or to decrease it In his discretion
but leaves the law defining the limit of 2i
hour8 In exactly th same shape as It Is st
present. The language of ne bill on this
point Is as follows: '"Provided that the sec-
retary of agriculture may decrease or In-
crease the number of hours herein aad above
set forth In thla section tn and by rule and
regulations from time to time prescribed by
him. and upon conditions therein set forth:
which rule and regulations may be made ap-
Cilcable generally specifically or locally as
e may deem fit and prescribe and which
rules and regulations whvn so prescribed
hall have all the force and effect of law and
shall subject the company and any receiver
trustee lessee or agent thereof and any own-
er or custodian of such animals who know-
ingly and willingly falls to comply with the
provisions thereof to the same penalty as
though said reule. and regulations were par-
ticularly set forth In this section as a part
hereof. '
A CHANCE FOR I'SPCE INFLUENCE.
In other words the regulations promulgated
by the secretary of agriculture are to have all
the force and effect of a regularly enacted
law. The objection to this Is obvious. Under
the operation of a statute based on the bill
as reported by the committee persons having
a great deal of Influence with the head of
the agricultural department might be able to
secure from him privileges wMch others not
possessing the same degree of "pull'- would
find It Impossible to obtain. This assertion
of course is not Intended as a reflection on
the present secretary. Mr. Wilson He Is
very well acquainted with the existing situ-
ation and has been In favor of the exten-
sion of the time limit ever since the 2-hour
law went Into effect Of course It Is not in
his power to repeal that law. but when he
Investigated and found the -weight of evi-
dence wa. an on the side of those who were
contending for an extension of the limit to
M hours he announced that he would not at-
tempt to enforce the penalty for the viola-
tions of the statute which In hla opinion
was at least unreasonable.
The Western and Southwestern members er
congress who are Interested In stock raising
would be willing to support the bill as re-
ported to the house If the proponents of the
measure would agree to specifically permit
the extension of the tlm- limit on the writ-
ten request of the sh.rper of range cattle
II Is well known that such cattle are much
wilder and lea. tractable than the stallfed
animals of the Middle and East. Men
who are thoroughly conversant with the hab-
it of th range cattle like K'e'"?1"?
Moore. Stephen.. Oarner and Smith of Texas
ar. of the opinion that the committee bill Is
va.tly preferable to the enforcement of the
cxT.tlrg law hut they will support the bill
"lr !n the event of failure to obtain some-
thing still more satisfactory.
THE THEORTOF MR. MANN.
In the report on the bill submitted by Rep-
resentative Mann. It If asserted that the end
aimed at by the Western and Southwestern
member ran easily be accomplished through
the regulations which the secretary will be
permltte.1 to formulate In the event of the en.
actment of the blU into law without further
change It Is pomled out that the secretary
may decrease or Increase both the number of
consecutive hours eattle may be kept In cars
and also the number of hours they must be
allowed to rest when unloaded. The hill will
permit the secretary to prescribe a different
... ..i. ...a tn Ivine doi
time It will permit the secretary of agri-
culture to require the maintenance of suit-
able unloading pen humanely constructed
and kept fairly clean as conditions for an ex-
tension of time. The present tow. Mr. Mann
does not hesitate to point out. I. harsh in-
elastic and unsulted tn the varying condi-
tion of different portions of the country
where stock Is raised under circumstances
entirely dissimilar. This as everyone inter-
ested tn the matter knows. Is the reason why
the law has not been enforced. "The propo-
sition which we now recommend." says Mr.
Mann ""authorise different treatment for
different condition. It applies ae it wers
different medicines for different diseases.-
The commit te accorded every possible op-
portunity to the representatives of the Amer-
ican Humane Association and other humane
societies who are the only opponents of the
project for the extension of the time limit
ft fat pointed out that while all of these rep-
resentatives seem to admft without ques-
tion that the rigid enforcement of the 2-
hour law Inevitably results In great hard-
ship and severe and Inhuman treatment of
the stock they are nevertheless opposed to
the extension of the lime limit. Thi. being
the case it Is only natural that their tes-
timony had little practical effect and that
the committee deemed It necessary and ad-
visable to take a step toward changing the
existing conditions. The only suggestion of
real value offered by th human society rep.
resentatlves wa. outlined In the testimony of
the president of the American Humane Asso-
ciation. He aald he believed that the result
desired by the friends of the extension bills
could be accomplished by giving livestock
trains the right of way over "dead" freight
in all circumstances and hr making It man-
datory on the railroads to maintain a certain
rate of speeA practically double that now
generally maintained. F.xpetienced railroad
men aay that this would be altogether Im-
practicable and th committee seems to view
the matter in the same light.

(Houston Post Special.)
TEXARKANA. Tea April l-Th deci-
sion of the presiding Judge of the Bowie
county district court in which the petition
for ouster was uk4 by th city of Texar-
kana. Texas against the Southwestern Tele-
graph and Telephone company waa denied
has nonplussed the city attorney and Mat-
ing counsel who hold that the decision. If
sustained by th higher courts to which
a r pal will be immediate! taken would
place cltie throughout Texas completely M
the mercy of teiephon corporations. Th
city of Texarkana Texas and the South-
western have been at loggerheads for some
time the result of tbe failure to agree on
the question of a franchise. The city claim-
ed that the company waa operating without
a franchise whereupou the Southwestern
promptly applied for a charter from th
city. The city authorities demanded that
hefore a charter be granted the company
agree to place in th charter provisions sJ-
lcwtng the city 3 per cent of the gross In-
come of the company from Its business in
the city and further that the company ac-
cede to the demand for "physical contact"
with th switchboards of other companies
In the city so that the users of any phone
might have the benefit of direct connection
with long distance. These demands th
company flatly refused.
Petition was at once filed asking that the
company be ousted from the c.ty. so far as
Its local work was concerned especially Id-
bp much as there was no charter for Its op-
eration In tbe city. In addition to this the
city council passed an ordinance requiring
the securing of a permit before the streets
could be molested. The Bout h west em vio-
lated this ordinaries) toy digging twenty-one
holes for extensions no peralsslon having
beea secured- The workman were arrested
tried and convicted In the mayor's court and
fines to the amount of -nearly $1909 assessed
the case being appealed by the company.
Judge Turner Id his decision denies the pe-
tition of ouster and in addition grants a
perpetual decision against the city Interfering
with the workmen of the company In any
manner during the work In the streets and
alleys of the city.
City Attorney Frank M. Ball speaking of
the decision declares It leaves cities no
choice hut to submit to any demand th
telephone company may make In regard to
the streets and alleys of municipal area and
gives the said companies the right to pur-
sue their course undisturbed regardless of
the consent or nonconsent of the city. That
Instead of the city having exclusive control
of its streets and alleys as provided by
special Texas ststute. It haa absolutely no
control over them In th light of this most
remarkable decision.
The contention of the attorneys for th
company is that the general statutory law
proven nearly thirty years ago granting to
telegraph companies throughout Texas the
right tii establish and mam tain their line
along the "highways waterways" etc of
the State applies with equal force In the cie
of telephone companies and that the term
highways etc.. Itx lude the streams for fran-
chise Is not essential. Tbe city claims that
this gont-ral statute was superceded shortly
afterward by a special provision granting to
clt ies "exclusive control over the streets
alley"." etc. throughout the State of Texas.

tained would have a very far-reaching ef-

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Is Planned by the Leaders of the New
York City Democracy.
(Houston Post Special.)
NEW YORK April -The board of gov-
ernors of the Democratic club have derided
to change the name to the National Demo-
cratic club and Monday night a special com-
mittee will meet to draw an address to
democratic leaders throughout the country
asking them to Join with the club In a
movement to unite In opposition to the pres-
ent wave of radicalism.
Fourteen of the twenty-one members of
the board of governors voted for the change
and there Is little doubt that their auto:i
will be ratified at the monthly meeting of
the club on April 26.
The main purpose of those behind the plan
for changing th character of the club from
a local to a National organisation is to make
the club headquarters of an active movement
to put democracy in shape to fight the
Hearst forces.
William J. Bryan Is to be boomed for the
democratic nomination for the presidency in
The first step In carrying out this plan
will be taken at the Jefferson day dinner one
week from tomorrow night when It is
planned that the name of Bryan will be giv-
en an ovation. Those behind the plan be-
lieve they see In Bryan the only hope of ef-
fectively checking the so-called socialistic
tendency in the party.
In the address to be prepared the atten-
tion of the democrats of the country is to bo
railed to the efforts now being made to
Identify the party with socialistic doctrine
and leaders all over the eountry will be in-
vited to Join with the newly Nationalised
Democratic club to fight the extremists.
Members of the dob hope to make the Fifth
Avenue clubhouse the metropolitan home of
tbe new movement.
