SENATE PASSES
RAILROAD BILL
Belief Genera! at Capital That Chief
Executive Will Add Signature to
Measure.
Washington, reo. ? ino commence
report on the railroad bill, embodying
legislation for reorganization
of railroads of the country with
the end of federal control, was adopted
late today by the senate. It
passed the house Saturday and now
goes to the president.
The vote on adoption of the report,
taken after several hours of debate,
was 47 to 17.
Those voting for the conference re
port were:
Republicans?Ball, Brandegee, Calder,
Capper, Colt, Cummins, Curtis,
Elkins, Fernald, Frelinghuysen, Hale,
Jones of Washington, Kellogg, Kenyon,
Keyes, Lenroot, Lodge, McLean,
McNary, Nelson, New, Page, Phipps,
Cmnnt Qf>anf>or Sferlinc

for, 32.

Gay, Glass, Myers, Phelan, Pomerene,

Total against adoption, 17.

for with Henderson against; Dillingham
for with Swanson against; Fall
for with Kendrick against; Simmons
for with Kirby against; McCumber
for with La Follette against; Harding
for with Walsh of Massachusetts
against; Edge for with Owens
against.
Announcement was made that if
Senators Hitchcock, Stanley and
Chamberlain, all Democrats, had
been present they would have voted
in support of the conference report.
Thirty-two Republicans joined with
15 Democrats in voting for adoption
of the conference report, while three
Republicans and 14 Democrats comprised
the 17 voting against it. There
was never any doubt as to what the
senate would do, in view of the wide
margin by which the Cummins bill,
more drastic than the compromise
measure, was passed. The bill will
go immediately to President Wilson
and the general opinion around the
fjmitnl was that he would sign it.
During the five hours of debate led
by Chairman Cummins, of the interstate
commerce committee senators
expressed varying opinions as to how
the public and the railroads would
fare under the bill, which was warmly
defended and attacked. But the intense
interest, which characterized
proceedings Saturday in the house
was lacking, frequent quorum calls
being necessary to get members in
the chamber.
? Around 6 o'clock the patience of
the senate apparently was exhausted
after the long season of speech making
and insistent demands for a vote
cut short the desire to prolong the
presentation of individual views.
Discussion today related largely to
the labor and rating provisions. Senator
Cummins, with great feeling, denounced
widespread claims that in
fixing freight and passenger charges
calculated to give the roads a return
on 5 1-2 per cent, meant taking huge
sums of money from the public treasury.
The bill, he declared would not
take $1 in that way. Such reports
he said were merely a part of the
propaganda put forth in an effort to
defeat all legislation on the eve of return
of the roads to their owners on
March 1.
During the final debate on the bill,
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, declared the labor unions
were opposing it "for purely selfish
reasons."
"I am convinced that the opposition
of the labor unions is not based on
any defects in this legislation," said
Senator Simmons. "They are opposed
to* it because they want government
ownership of railroads. They believe
that under government ownership
they could secure more wages. They

and would be able to do wfyat they
did when they came here and forced
us to pass the Adamson law."
Slightly Embarrassed.

[MAN WHO "TALKED TOO
MUCH" TO SUIT TAFT
CHOSEN AS MINISTEF
President Wilson Appoints Chas. R
Crane to Represent United States
in China,
i
Washington, Feb. 24.?Charles R
Crane, of Chicago, business man
millionaire and world traveler, whc
was appointed minister to China bj
President Taft in 1909 and recallei
while on the way to Peking for "talk
ing too much," has oeen selee* d bi
President Wilson for the same pds
to succeed Dr. Paul Reinsch.
I Mr. Crane's selection by the presi
dent reopens a chapter of diplomats
history which although forgotten bj
many was one of the most lively in
cidents in American foreign relations
I It was quite generally stated, ant
believed by many in touch with for
eign affairs, that Mr. Crane's recal
in 1909 was at the instance of th<
Japanese government which was re
ported not only to have regarded hi:
appointment as offensive, but object
| ed also to a man whom Mr. Uran<
was taking as a private secretary anc
adviser and who was quite wel
v?/va7? fat* urrit.incrs ronsfcrued as anti
""V " " AV* "
; Japanese.
Ttfi Chaa^ed Hit Mind.
None of the real inside story ol
Mr. Crane's recall appears on sucl
diplomatic documents as were per
! mitted to become public and as th<
' records stand President Taft rhangec
j bis* mind about Mr. Crane's fitness
jfor the post in the far east aftei
j agreeing with Secretary Knox thai
. <ri\r\ rrmrh" anr
| ?21". KjLifllK; uau M>-.n<.u vww
'had been "indiscreet" in some of th<
speeches he made while on the waj
[to San Francisco to take an arm]
(transport to China.
! Mr. Crane came again Into publi<
j notice during President Wilson's ad
I ministration when the President of
ifered him the post of ambassador t(
i Russia, which he declined. Later Mr
| Crane was a member of the commis
sion headed by former Secretarj
Root, which went to Russia, and h(
, has generally been regarded in gov
| ernment circles as one of the fev
mpn who were "close to the presi
<W."
j Acceptable to China.
j Of course the Chinese governmen
has accepted Mr. Crane as being per
sona gratia as it had been in 1909
! n+Vtprwisp. accordine to diplomati<
procedure, he would not have beei
! selected again. Whether the Japan
ese government knew of Presiden
Wilson's intentions to send Mr
Crane to China can only be a con
jecture, for while it is not customary
for one government to consult a thin
'government on its selections of dip
; lomats to be accredited to anothe:
power, some official folk in Washing
! ton feel that in view of the previou;
1 " - - * ' -ur o
j incident in wnicn Mr. orane nguie;
| and the general aspects of the situa
Jtion in the far east President Wilsor
j would not have selected him withou
j feeling that his appointment woulc
I cause no disagreeable incident be
' tween the United States and Japan
j Mr. Crane was appointed ministei
! to China by President Taft in Sep
i tember, 1909, and in Chicago, while
I at? Me wav to San Francisco, at <
i complimentary luncheon, quoted Mr
Taft as having told him of America'!
| interest in China's welfare and hav
1 ing added that whether Mr. Crane
[made a speech he ought to "speak i'
; out red-hot." That uttei. nee seem
1 ed to attract no particular attentior
and later Mr. Crane attended an
i other luncheon at which Wu Tine
! Fan?:, Chinese minister to the Unitec
; States, emphasized the friendly inter
est the United States had in China.
Ordered Back to Washington.
The storm did not break, however
' until a month later when in Sai
Francisco Mr. Crane got a brief tele
gram from Secretary Knox, on th<
eve of embarking, ordering him bacl
to Washington. The reason for th<
sudden change was not made publi<
; at the time, Mr. Crane professing
: ignorance of it, but diplomats ii
Washington began talking about hi
speeches and it began to leak ou
that some one was offended,
j It finally developed that a stor;
appearing in a Western newspape
accredited to Mr. Crane and repre
senting him as attacking the Man
churian agreement between China an
Japan were the real causes of his re
call. The story also appeared in th
Japanese press and caused a consic
erable reaction in Japan over th
supposed view of the new ministe
| from the United States to China.
Without Authority.

" j Fairfax, Feb. 23.?W. E. Bessinger
t o nrnminprit vounsr farmer and busi
ness man, was instantly killed <n a
h^lf a mile from the town limits of
? Fairfax, about 10 o'clock this morn3
1 ing by a tractor.
Mr. Bessinger was driving the fracr
tor in the field and getting into a low
soft place, the tractor sank partly
s into the earth and reared back and
3 fell on young Bessinger an l crushed
".the life out of him. I: is supposed
1, that when the tractor commenced
sinking young Bessinger applied too
* much gasoline and as tne machine
": could not go forward it reared back
* J and fell on the driver.
r! Mr. Bessinger was about 24 years
- i old and was possessed of great
J energy. Although young, he had al1
ready accumulated a good deal of
valuable property.
3; The young man ii survived by his
father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. F.

*. Miss Lucile Bessinger, ail of Fairfax.
