The Interstate Commerce Commis-sion has sent to Congress the third in-stallment of its report on railroad dis-criminations in the coal and oil traf-fic, this one relating to coal only. Ittells of the merging of various Ohioand West Virginia c il companies andof their control by the Trunk Linesyrdicate. The commission found thatthe syndicate tended to discourage thedevelopment of other mines not con-nected with its companies, thus re-taining so far as possible a monopolyof the field.

Mr. Pepperanalyzes the various sources of theincome tax and shows that the prin-cipal one Is the corporations and largebusiness and professional interests, thenext being the owners of houses andlands.

The Treasury Department has de-cided to do away with the present sys-tem of customs weighers, in view ofthe fraudulent practices of the sugartrust weighers, as disclosed in the re-cent trial at New York, and to install,as soon as possible, electrical weigh-ing machines which register weightsautomatically. This will throw out ofthe service a large number o' men em-ployed as weighers.

Force Engineer to Apply Brakesand Force Postal Clerks to

Give Up Mail.

PUBSUED BY POLICE IN AUTOS.

Hold-Up Is Accomplished with Neat-

ness and Expedition—Passen-gers Not Molested.

Four masked men held up and rob-bed Union Pacific train No. 2, knownas the Overland Limited, a tew mileswest of Omaha just before midnightSaturday and secured a number ofregistered mail pouches. The exactnumber of sacks taken is not known,but they are believed to have contain-ed a large sum. The robbers are be-ing sought by squads of Omaha policein automobiles.

The hold-up occurred about a milewest of the city limits, in a deep cutalong the recently constructed Lanecut-off. The robbers climbed over thetank, forced the engineer to stop histrain and then proceeded to the mailcar. The clerks were forced to openthe door and hand out a number ofpouches of registered mail. Once therobbers secured the bags, they hurriedaway in a southerly direction and per-mitted the train to proceed. The passengers were not molested. As soon asthe robbers left the train proceeded toOmaha.

Two of the robbers climbed into theengine with drawn revolvers andforced the engineer to stop the train.The engine crew was ordered out ofthe cab and two of the robbers stoodguard, while the other two escortedthe engineer and fireman to the rear.The quartette were apparently well acquainted with the ground, as theyforced the train to stop in a deep cut.

There were eight clerks on the mailcar and they were forced to open thedoor. The chief clerk was singled outand asked to point out the registeredmail. This he did and the robbersgathered up seven pouches and tl:-.leader then remarked: "This is all wecan get into our automobile.” Theyleft the scene quickly, walked downthe track 300 feet and clambered outof the cut.

A continuous fusillade of shootingwas kept up during the robbery, evi-dently to intimidate passengers andcrew. A flagman who went to the rearnarrowly escaped being shot. Severalpassengers who had not retired startedto get out of the vestibules, but in nouncertain tones the robbers orderedthem back into the cars.

J**' I• Work of Congress •

••

The lumber schedule of the tariffbill was under consideration almostthe entire day Monday in the Senate,with Senators Root, Heyburn, Borahaad Doiliver contending on the onehand for a protection for the industry,and Senators Clapp, Burkett ani Mc-Cumber arguing as strenuouslyagainst that policy. The day closedwith more than a two-thirds voteagainst Senator McCumber’s free lum-ber amendment, the ballot showing 25for and 56 against. The surprise ofthe day was the attitude of SenatorDoiliver, who heretofore nas stoodwith the "progressives.” He took positive position against the radical de-mand for free lumber, but expressedthe opinion that the industry wouldnot suffer from a reduction of theDingley rates. Senator Root arguedin favor of a differential on dressedlumber. Senators Borah and Heyburnof Idaho contended for the highestduty on lumber. During the day Senator Heyburn spoke of the Republi-can platform of the last campaign ina way that brought down some criti-cism on his head, and Senator Baileydeclared that he did not propose to bebound by the platform adopted by-theDemocrats at Denver. Senator Owenmade a sharp a’tack upon the presenttariff on sugar, saying that it led tofrauds by a “trust.” Senator Aldrichintroduced a resolution p oviding foran investigation of the expendituresof the various legislative departments.The Republicans of the House againtook matters in their own ha andwith a sudden show of strength pass-ed the Philippine tariff bill, the con-sideration of which had been conclud-ed two weeks ago, referred the mes-sage of the President regarding PortoRican affairs to the committee onways and means and devoted sometime to a discussion of the bill amend-ing the laws of Porto Rico so as to di-vest the legislature of certain author-ity. When the body met Mr. Macon(Ark.) made his usual point of noquorum, but Mr. Payne, instead ofmoving an adjournment, as he haddone heretofore, forced a call of theHouse, and a quorum appeared withina short time. The feature of the daywas a speech of considerable lengthby Mr. Larrlnga, the Porto Rican commissioner, vigorously opposing the billaffecting th° island represented byhim and denouncing the executivecouncil or upper branch of the legisiature of Porto Rico. The bill waspending when the House adjourneduntil Thursday.

The Senate Tuesday began the for-mal considciotion of the sugar sched-ule, but did not approach a vote uponit. Instead, the time allotted to thisschedule was entirely given over tospeech-making, and strange to say, thetwo speeches on the subject, whilemade by Democrats, were in strong ad-vocacy of a high tariff on sugar of allgrades. The speeches were by Sena-tors Foster and McEnery of Louisiana.Mr. Foster laughingly deprecated theapplication of the word “protection” tohis attitude, but Mr. McEnery boldlyespoused the protective theory andopenly advised his Democratic friendsto follow his example. He declaredprotection to be in the line of Demo-cratic policy. The lumber schedulewas temporarily put aside in order torermit the committee on finance tomake changes in it. Early in the daySenatorBeveridge addressed the Senateat some length in support of his con-tention that President Taft had previous to and after his nomination beena consistent advocate of a downwardrevision of the tariff. The House wasnot in session.
