Washington, March 24.?Upon tli | conclusion of Senator LaFollette I' speech 011 the A Id rich currency bi | in the senate today a plan was deck ed upon by which Senator Aldric will tomorrow move to take up tli hill and continue its consideration ui til it has been disposed of. Mir. Ale rich also n^lced for unanimous coi sent to take up the bill tomorrow an to dispose of it before adjournmer Thursday, but to that propositio Senator LiaFollettc objected on tli s ground Miat lie feared debate would 1: H curtailed by such a procedure. The colloquy which resulted in tli || announcement, followed the conch sion of the third and lasf. instalnici of Senator LaFollette's speech in oj posit!ion to (he AhTrich hill. II spoke for two hours, Resuming h speech. Mr. LaFollette declared llu his statement that the industries e this couniTry were controlled by les than one hundred men had been a tacked as sensational. Declaring (lu such was not the case, ho said thr lie had been too conservative, an that in fact, a much smtallcr numb< of men dominate the industries. "Along with this enormous ii crease in trust power has gone steady process of centralization i the control of that power until no the entire situation is dominated 1: the Standard Oil-Morgan combin tion," he declared. "The old fight b tween these two great powers ha\ been laid aside. Mr. Morgan's pi tnre adorns the wall of the inner roo of the Rockefeller office, a?t 20 Broa< way. In combination today they ai working together to gather in 11 smaller powers. ISFr. Ilill has bee taught that he must not oppose tl big ones. Standard Oil <jot in on tl Great Northern ore deal. The.

The Vanderbilts can l longer reltain their important eontr and themselves sec. the hand-writir on the wall." The senator quoted John Moody 1 show an enormous growth in tru consolidation and capitalization i four years. In 1004 Mr. Moody pla ed t'he caputalination of (lie industri franchises and railroad trusts at ovi twenty billion dollars. That amoui had increased more than $1.1,000,00( 000. or more than 55 per cent. Tl .$31,000,000,000. he said, did not re resent the financial combination banks, trusits and insurance com pa; it's. Mir. IxxFollettc read several lis of eminent financiers to whom he a corded various degrees of power i the control of industries. He inclu ed Senator Depcw, of New York, : among those who exercised large po~v or and held many directorships in tl form of delegated power exercised I them in a mere representative cap; l( city. Mr. Depcw was in his seat an | general laughter followed. Mr. LaFollette named as next aft< Morgan and the Rockefellers a gron of fifteen men, who, he said, wei big opera tors and men of large pow< and interests in their own right \ "These men," lie said, "find thee best interests in working in harmor with Morgan ajid Standard Oil.

' ' it ' Mr. LaFollptttf argued thai the Ald:f rich bill would only serve lo strength's on this great money power of Wall t- street, lie criticised the failure of it the cor.'mittee on finance in not keep- t it in?' bunk reserves in the ^auits of the banks throughout the countiv. iv Mr. LaFollette concluded his J? speech with a strong appeal to the i- "progress men" in the senate to a stand together and be ait- the bill. in He spoke of the activities of the w president and Mr. Bryan in combat- """ ' v ing wrong-doing among high fanan- ? 11"" ciers. ^ 0 "Whatever difference there may be in parly policy or personality between Ike president and Mr. Bryan, , they are striving, each in his own wav, for fundamental truths.

At the conclusion of Mr. LaFol-j JC lette's remarks Senator Teller said j lrt he had listened lo his narrative on tlii \ , 1111 0] enormities of the pending bill with 11 1(, interest, and said some of the difficulties he complained of were already ? provided for by laws on I he statute . books, instancing the law for the sr. | ' punishment of derelict bank officials. R. F. D. CARRIERS. ! C LM Held Improper to Transmit Unstamped Letters From One Point t. to Another. ie |*|. i ^ A special from Washington to the "1 '' Columbia Slate under dale of March ,l" 22. says: 8 ft is not proper in Hie opinion of the fourth assistant postmaster gen eral, Mr. DeGraw, who has charge in j ^ III general of the rural five delivery | routes, that R. F. I), carriers should j carry unstamped letters from one; m v" point on their routes to another. Reple resentntive Slayden of Texas recently ^ made am inquiry of the department as to this, from which fact it appears 1 that in Texas at least, whence Mr. Slayden hajls, it has been customary ?-f for some of the .rural carriers to carry P from one point to another letters or r< parcels which are not stamped. It ;r is doubtless true in all parts of the s* country that rural carriers, "who get ir to know their patrons well, do small iy favors of this kind for them. The fourth asistant postmaster general, m though, in answering Mr. Slayden in Id effect renders a dev^sion and lays down a policy which will put a stop 10 to aU of this. ^ Mr. DeGraw's answer lo the Texas r" representative is made after consultJ*" ing the department of justice here, > one of the assistant attorney gener11' als advising him as to the legal quesr? tion involved. .Said Mr. DeGraw: "All patrons of rural free delivery routes a re required to provide tihcmst selves with approved boxes, and their conlenls are recognized by law as '0 mail boxes and protected from wilw ful damage or depredation." ITe fur(l ther states that these boxes, while cs is provided at. I he expense of the citiz- S ! ens on the route, are erected exclu- p r, sively for the United Stales mail, t Hence the mailer in I hem is to be ! considered Umiled Stales mail. C< 4. "All mailable matter placed in rural mail boxes," said Mr. DeGraw, "is u subject to the rules and regulations ** k governing the mails, f including the P fl payment of postage. While it. is not -p r, in violation of the law to place unstamped mailable matter in rural F*i i'- boxes, it is not proper that it should j-ji be done. Rural carriers finding such I. mailer in boxes on their routes are i- required lo bring it into the postofn fice lo be held for postage.
