TAFT'S MEASURES
TORN TORS
COURT OF COMMERCE AND
AMENDMENTS TO INTERSTATE
COMMERCE BILLS ARE HIT.
INSURGENTS TO BE HEARD
May Require Six Weeks to Finish De-
bate, and in the Meantime Other
Matters Wait—Taft May Send
Spccial Message to Spur
Them to Action.
WASHINGTON, D. C., March 13.—Al-
though Identical when Introduced In the
two houses of Congress, It Is now evident
that the measures to create a court of
commerce and amend the Interstate com-
merce laws will bear little resemblance
to each other when the deliberations of
the two bodies have veen concluded.
In the House committee many of the
Administration theories In regard to the
Issuing of stocks and bonds and the
merging of noncompetitive lines have
been shattered and the end Is not in sight,
lor, although already much amended, the
assaults on the bill will continue on the
floor.
While the opposition to the Adminis-
tration bill was not strong enough to
amend the hill In the Senate committee,
It is now conceded that several Impor-
tant changes will be forced on tho floor.
The debate on the bill will begin either
tomorrow or Tuesday. Senator Cummins
■will open the discussion In support of cer-
tain changes advocated In the minority
report of the Senate committee. He may
speak for several days.
Practically all of the Insurgent Senators
will speak on the railroad bill, and there
will be many speeches also from the
Pemocratio side. No one estimates that
tho debate will be finished In less than
six weeks and some Senators predict that
much more time will iw consumed.
An effort Will be made by the House
Committee on Interstate Commerce to re-
port the bill this week, and It is prob-
able, therefore, that debate on the safno
subject will proceed simultaneously at
both ends of the Capitol. This would
create a very unusual situation.
Statehood legislation, which has passed
the House, and the postal savings bank
legislation, which has passed the Senate,
both have been sidetracked for the Ad-
ministration railroad bill.
POSTAI- SAVINGS BANK.
The postal bank bill, in view of the fact
that hearings have been ordered by the
House Committee on Postofflces and
Postroads, will not reach the floor for
several weeks, and In all probability until
the present session draws near a close.
Tho general Impression Is that It will not
emerge from the committee until after
the Moon antl-lnjunctlon bill, which is
favored by the Administration, has been
reported.
Regardless of the fact that the postal
bank bill, the antl-lnjunctlon measure,
Statehood legislation and the Administra-
tion conservation measures are all a part
of the Administration program, there Is
no disposition to consider them, only
where a positive force pushes them for
consideration. If the debate on the rail-
road bill lags to the extent that has been
freely predicted. It may require a presi-
dential message to Instill new life in the
other features of the executive program.
EXPECT SHARP DEBATE.
In the House there are pending mat-
ters that will call out sn.-..-? (Teoafe, and
there Is a disposition on the part of many
members to let some of them go by the
board. These Include the Mondell bill to
permit the homestead entry of the surface
of coal lands, which would Involve 30,000,-
000 or more acres; ship subsidy, a subject
filled with oratorical dynamite, the con-
struction of two battleships, which may
be a feature of the naval bill, and the
question of authorizing the Issuance of
certificates of Indebtedness or bonds to
the amount of 130.000,000 to complete recla-
mation projects.
Polls are being taken on the question of
making appropriations to construct battle-
ships and the question of antl-lnjunctlon
legislation along the line of the Moon
bill. The preliminary count Is said to bo
opposed to the battleships, but the atti-
tude of the house on the subject of tho
Moon bill has not been disclosed.
In view of the fact that the Senate Com-
mittee on appropriations Is now idle the
House will try to pass the legislative, ex-
ecutive and Judicial appropriation bill
wtthln two or three days. There has been
little political debate on this measure, but
It Is expected that double time will be de-
manded when the pensions appropriation
bi. Is taken up. This measure wns re-
ported to the House several weeks ago.

ney to this city.
The steamer ia expected to arrive here

strong northern gale. Is blowing, which
Is kicking up heavy waves In the river

tinguished American will be somewhat
delayed.
Mr. Roosevelt's success in shooting In
the Soudan a dozen antelopes. Including
one known as Mrs. Gray's whtte-earod
antelope and other rare specimens, makes
a fitting end to his hunt, which has
been successful beyond all expectations.
Henceforth the ex-President will ba the
guest of honor at a series of brilliant
and enthusiastic receptions. The first of
the receptions was held at the Jungle
station of the American mission at Sobit,

Mr. Roosevelt's health has been re-
markable. Kermlt's health has been ex-
ceptionally fine, too.
Throughout many months of hunting
Mr. Rousevelt displayed the greatest con-
cern In the care of the party. His per-
sonal Interest was shown when one of
the correspondents who had been In
touch with tho expedition, was forced to
drop behind on one of the long marches
He was finally brought up by porters
Mr. Roosevelt Insisted that Dr. Mearns
tako tho case In hand and when tha doc-
tor said an operation was necessary,
Mr. Roosevelt volunteered to help This
was not necessary, however.
Nothing has pleased the ex-President
more than the native guards, who turn
out at every place to greet his coming.
At one station In Uganda, a native con-
tingent with two bands, one a fife and
drum, the other composed of brass,
marched to a private house where Mr.
Roosevelt was a guest and drew up for
rovlew. Each of the hands was con-
ducted by a mission father, and to the
distinguished American's surprise and de-
light they enthusiastically rendered tlu
American National anthrm with only a
fHlse note here and there.

KILLING STIRS FALFUHAS
RACE RIOT IS AVERTED FY FEW
DETERMINED MEN.
Baltazar Garcia Is Shot and Killed on
a Sap Train and Dave Dolan is Hur-
ried to Corpus Christi in an
Automobile.
Special Telegram to The Express.
FALFURRIAS, Tex.. March 13.-The
killing of Baltazar Garcia on the San An-
tonio & Aransas Pass train hero this
forenoon very nearly precipitated a race
riot and there Is still a great deal of ex-
citement. At dusk the town is quiet.
Dave Dolnn has been taken to Corpud
Christ! In an automobile. Rangers are
expected on the night train and the sit-
uation Is relieved.
The trouble started at a hall game last
Tuesday, when In a disturbance over a
trivial matter J. F. Goodwin Jr., a cousin
of Dolan, was stabbed. Garcia was ar-
rested in Alice and brought back here.
At the preliminary trial, held Saturday,
Garcia was placed under bond of $5000.
He gave bond and was taking the train
for home this forenoon, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Oonzales, when jDolan en-
tered the coach to bid good-by to Good-
win's father and brother, who were about
to return to their home in Live Oak
County. Garcia was killed almost in-
stantly, the bullet breaking his neck.
Dolan was placed under arrest at once.
Before ha could be placed in Jail, how-
ever, a crowd of Mexicans armed with
rifles and pistols appeared and showed
fight. For a few minutes It appeared
that a drawn battle between the Ameri-
cans who had Dolan In custody and the
Mexicans could not be averted, but a few
determined men finally dispersed the bel-
ligerents without the firing of a shot.
Fearing a serious race war as a result
of the shooting of Baltazar Garcia at
Falfurrlas, tho officials of the San An-
tonio & Aransas Pass Railroad were ask-
ed Sunday afternoon to hold themselves
In readiness to move by special train (he
women and children of that city. Great
excitement prevailed for a time, and It
was reported thai the Mexicans were
banding together to drive out all Ameri-
cans Tjiter conditions were reported as
quiet and that there was no likelihood of
serious trouble.
FALFURRIAS WANTS RANGERS
Sends Hurry Call to Austn. but Na-
ture of Trouble Is Unknown.
Daily Express Ausllu Hur- au.
AUSTIN, Tex., March 1.1—Governor
Campbell tonight received three telo-
graphlc calls from Falfurrlas for Stnte
Rangers. The telegrams were from E.
E. Howard, signing himself as Justice of
the. Peace He asked for six Rangers,
and that they he sent from Central Texas
it possible.
The messages did not state tho nature
of the trouble, and the Governor Is In
Ignorance of what has occurred. He has
been attempting to reach Mr. Howard by
wire and learn tlie nature of the trouble.
As yet no Rangers have been ordered to
Starr County, but 'he Governor is at-
tempting to locate the Hangers In that
section of the State with the view of
prompt action. The last telegram from
Mr. Howard read as follows:
"Request this Precinct fi, Starr Coun-
ty be placed under martial rule for ten
days so that saloons may be closed until
excitement subsides."
Because of this trouble and other Im-
portant matters the Governor was un-
able to leave for Fori Worth tonight to

Declares If a Walkout Comes the Re*

Managers Association and That
About 25,000 Men Will Quit
L nless Action Is Taken. '
CHICAGO. March l.l.-The threatened
walkout of 25,000 firemen on practically
all the railroad systems between Chicago
and the Pacific coast reached a critical
stage today when \\\ S. Carter, presi-
dent .if Ih" Brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen and Englnemen formally noil,
fled the rail I; ids that if the entire con-
troversy was i!,.t submitted to arbitra-
tion a strike would be Inevitable.
Mr. Carter s letter of notification waa
Indorsed by the brotherhood's commit-
tee, which represents the firemen on
about forty seven railroads, west, north-
west and southwest of Chicago. Tha
I letter was sent to W. C. Nixon, general
I manager of the St. Louis A San Fran-
cisco Railroad, who Is chairman of the
railroad general managers' committee.
TEXT OF THE LETTER.
The letter follows:
"Dear Sir: Your letter of this data

; you notify us at your earliest conveni-
ence."
| The railroads previously announced
| their willingness to arbitrate the in-
j creased wage demand, which the firemen
say would amount to about 12*4 per
I cent. Two other demands involved, the
managers Bay, concern discipline and
authority and are not open to arbitra-
tion. These points have to do with the
promotion of firemen and questiv i
whether, when they become englneme
they are still under the Jurisdiction ok

LOOKS GRAY'
"Does your letter mear .t if a satis-

I be called?" Mr. Carter was asked.
"It looks pretty grave," he said. "We
are nearer a disagreement than we have
i ever h^en during the whole six weeks of
conferences. We do not want a strike.
We want the public to understand that.
1 As to our authority to strike, we have
I the vote of more than SO per cent of the

"We have received Mr. Carter's letter,
which, to the layman who Is not thor-

somewhat serious and permit a strike.

the methods, unfortunately. Invoked In

not likely that the men would Fanction
