a resolution by ths But fire rat in;
board requesting that th fire insurance
companies collect under the old rates
until the Justice of the new rates shall
hare been ascertained at the board's
bearing June 2L
.' KTJUNQ BT GEORGIA COURT.
In the dispatches of yesterday atten-
tion wag called to the statement of the
governor that if the insurance companies
comply with the request and Commis-
sioner Hawkins exercises his prerogative
to revoke their j certificates of authority
said companies will still be permitted
to carry on business in Texas. The ap-
pellate courts of Georgia have just held
that : when an insurance company at-
tempt to carry on its business without a
Htate permit its policies are. void and the
holders of tljem can not collect In case
of lots.
It was" learned today on excellent au-
thority that the commissioner has not
weakened in his determination to revoke
the permit of offending companies and
that he would not hesitate to carry to
the courts Jhe case that might thus arise.
The commissioner Is first last and all
the time a fighter and he genuinely rel-
ishes scrap; but he never goes Into
one until he has definitely assured him-
self that he Is In the right.
He is in the present fight unto the end
and it will be necessary for him to have
full assurance as to the legal date ot
his retirement before he will leave his
jxsltlon." It Is known that Commissioner
Hawkins does not Indorse In full the fire
rating law that in now In the crucible
having in mind an amendment giving
the board authority to pass upon the
justice of all rates before they shall
become effective but he Insists that the
operation of the law In its present form
ran not now be prevented and that any
abrogation of its provisions would mean
demoralisation to Insurance and that his
sanction thereof would be at the cost or
his violation of the constitution his oath
of office and his conscience.
.END OP HAWKINS' TERM.
- The State fire rating board has ex-
pressed an earnest desire that all cham-
bers of commerce that all municipalities
and all others concerned In the problem
ot Insurance shall be present at the ap-
proaching hearing whan there will occur
A full discussion of the problems which
have occasioned all the present contro-
versy not only between Commissioner
Hawkins and Governor Campbell but
ill se 1 those growing out of the protests of
av number of the largest cities of the
State.. It Is expected that the hearing
will last two or three days and that at Its
conclusion the people of Texas wlH know
pretty definitely whether or not reliable
relief ean be expected under the opera-
tion of the law as it la.
If it be held that the question of the
commissioner's tenure of office Is to be
determined by the date of appointment
of ' the first commissioner Hawkins'
term will expire the latter part of Au-
gust If It be held that custom shall de-
ride the point he will retire from office
January 32 or a few days after the
rovarnor himself goes out of office. It
Is reasonably certain that no one would
have challenged the right of the commis-
sioner to hold office until this latter data
sad jiot the present controversy arisen.

Cores who represents at this capital ala-
drlx provisional president of Nicaragua
said today that he had received a dis-
patch by wireless telegraph via Port
Limon to the effect that he president's

Another ir.essa.re received by Senor Co-

patches of yesterday reporting the nfeu-

Thus Mr. Cores points out that the
entire gulf coast of Nicaragua Cape Ora-

Blueflelds itself with Its harbor en-
trance controlled by Madrlx practically
is an Interior town.

Corea says that Blueflelds and the town
of Rama a few miles further up tltc
river having a total population of not
more than 6600. constitute all of the Nlc-
araguan territory In the possession of
tile Estrada Insurgents. He contends that
the independent republic which Estrada
desires to establish would represent thu
impossible anomaly of a tiny repuhllc en-

tion at the station and many citizens as-
sured him of their support.
Rev. W. P. Mings pastor of the Chris-
tian rhurch Introduced Judge Poindex-
ter comparing God's selection of Saul
as head and shoulders above all the
children of Israel to the present desire
of the people to do likewise by placing
the Cleburne candidate In the governor's
chair.
The usual propositions for reform in
court procedure the penttentlarv svstnm
and the educational methods of the State
were passed by with short notice today
In order that the candidate might give
himself more fully to a discussion of pro-
hibition. The candidate charged. Jake
Wolters and O. B. Colquitt with being
poor democrats. Inasmuch as they pro-
posed to go Into the democratic prima-
ries) but did not propose to he bound by
the result of the primary In case the
vote went for submission.
He said all good democrats would ac-
cept the verdict of the primaries no mat-
ter how the election resulted and he
pledged himself to abide by the primary.
The speaker arraigned Colquitt for con-
teSdlng that the members of the legisln-
ture should be bound by the votes of their
constituents and then announcing in ad-
vance that lm will not abide by the In-
structions of his own constituents of the

(Aisciatt4 Prtu Report) "
; WASHINGTON. June H.--The confer
enoe report 'on the administration rail
road buy wa presented let the senate at
1:39 o'clock today by- Chairman Ellin
of the senate committee on Interstate
commerce. It was laid before the house
late In the day but under the rules It
-can not be acted upon until disposed ot
by the senate:- It repreeentaone week's
work by conferees of the senate and the
house In an effort to harmonise the dif-
ferences In the bills passed by the two
branches - of congress and nearly four
months' continuous consideration in one
or the other of the two branches of con-
gress. At the request ot several senators
the report went over until tomorrow
when an effort will be made to procure
Its adoption".
TO FILE MINORITY REPORT.
The two democratic confereea did not
feign the report and Senator Newlands
K&ve notice that he would present a mi-
nority report. Generally speaking the
finished work of the conferees is said to
be satisfactory to the senate although in
a large part It follows the lines of the
house bill. A number of the amendments
secured by Insurgent republican sena-
tors however were retained by the con-
ferees. So far as has been indicated the
only objection which mny be mMcd in
the senate to the adoption of the report
relates to the action of the conferees In
adopting the house provision on the sub-
ject of long and snort hauls. The last
amendment disposed of by the conferees
was that relating to the period for which
Increases In rates might be suspended
by the commission 'the conferees ac-
cepted the senate provision of ten
months.
As finally perfected by the conference
the bill carries most of the features of
the original administration measure ex-
cept the sections to permit railroads to
make pooling agreements to authorise
the government to regulate the Issuance
of stocks and bonds and to permit a rail-
road to purchase the railroad stock of
another line In which It already controls
511 per cent of the stock.
In the place of the house provision the
conferees Incorporated a provision au-
thorising the president to appoint a com-
mission to investigate questions pertain-
ing to the Issuance of stocks and bonds
by railroads Expenditures bv the com-
mission ar limited to Mm and It was
not given authority to summon witnesses
or to compel the production of books
and papers. No time was fixed for mak-
ing a report.
A COMMERCE COCRT.
The bill as likely to become a law
would create a commerce court composed
of five jtidRts the first of whom are to
be selected by the president and there-
after by the chief Justice of the supreme
co'irt. The court will have Jurisdiction
over all suits brought to enforce or set
aside orders of the interstate commerce
commission In other words. It would
lentialir.e the exlstins authority and Jh-
ilsiiictlon of circuit courts In matters af-
fecting Interstate commerce.
Other sections would enlarge the power
of the commission over railroad regula-
tions nrd prsctlc-es and place under the
Jurisdiction of the commission telegraph
teb phone and cable companies whether
win- or wireless and would broaden the
scjpe or Ui word "railroad" so as to ex-
tend the Jurisdiction of the commission
over bridges ferries and terminal facili-
ties. General provisions are made affectinar
railroads tt compel them to furnish rates
upon application and to authorize the
commission to institute inquiries en Its
own motion. By the provisions adopted
by the house and retained by the con-
ferees the scope of the commission to
make regulations was enlarged. It Is
also provided that a consignor of freight
shall have the right to designate by
w hich of two or more through routes his
property shall be transported to its des-
tination. The striking differences between tho
senate and house bills were reconciled
as follovs:
Tlio new court will be known as the
commerce court as provided by the
house instead of a court of commerce
as desired by the senate.
The method of selecting the Judges la
a senate provision.
PERMIT TO APPEAL. -Another
senate amendment retained Is
the permit to appeal to the supreme court
for interlocutory orders or decrees of the
commerce court granting or continuing
injunctions to restarin the enforcement of
orders of the commission. It Is required
Imwevpr that the appeals must be taken
within thirty davs.
!;" providid by the administration
bill that the commerce court should not Is-
sue injunctions suspending orders of the
commission except In cases where Irrep-
arable damage would ensue. To that
provision the conferees added a senate
amendment requiring the giving of tkyee
days' notice tq. the commission nd tclh
attorney general and that the suspension
should not be for mere than sixty days
The senate provision that all parties In
Interest to a proceeding before the com-
mission should be notified of Its com- '
mencement was stricken out. but tho
provisions of both tho house and the
senate bills In regard to the appearance
of parties In proceedings in the com-
merce court by intervening or on motion.
Cnder a aenate amendment adopted
every railroad will be required to desig-
nate an agent in Washington to receive
service In any proceedings against the
railroads. The conference report retains
the house provision requiring railroads to
provide reasonable facilities for operating
through routes and for the exchange and
return of rolling stock therein. It also
retains the house provisions requiring
railroads to establish and enforce reason-
able classification of property for trans-
portation and regulations and practices
affecting classifications rates or tariffs
tickets receipts and bills of lading.
A BAN OX FRANKS.
The provisions placing telegraph Itele-
phone and cable companies under the Ju-
rlsdlctlon of the commission' Is that
adoptod by tho house with a further pro-
vision agreed upon In conference tliat
messages may be classified Into day'
night repeated unrepealed letter com-
mercial press government and such other
classes as are Just and reasonable and '
authorizing different rates to be charged
for different classes of message. In re-
spect to the use of telegraphic telephonic
and cable franks It was provided that
tbey shall not be prohibited when used
by officers sgents employes and their
families of corporations within th scops
of the Interstate commerce act.
The house provision for the investiga-
tion for the physical valuation of railroad
property was stricken out. but the amend-
ment authorising the owner of a lateral
branch line of railroad to require a main
line of railroad to make proper connec-
tions was retained.. . .'' -.
To tho house provision on the subject
of long and short hauls which Is da-
signed to prohibit railroads from chargV
lug a UTgher rats for shorter than for
a long distance was added the follow
ing: -. ... ; . -
"Whenever a carrier by railroad shall
in competition with a water route or

tive points It shall not be permitted to In-

tion." v
vThis provision was adopted In llauof
a more radical provision Introduced by
Senators Simmons and Burton and adopted
by the senate. -
A senate amendment submitted by Mr.
Shlvtly of Indiana authorising shippers
to sue railroads for damages resulting
from misquotation of rates was elimi-
nated by tho conferees.
The bouse amendment to section ten
of the Interstate commerce act to m.
scribe a penalty for attempting to obtain I
suvaniago in toe matter of rates the same
as for acually obtaining It through false
representations was retained. The con-
ferees also accepted the house provision
striking out the specific language of the
present law as to the character of objects
about which complaints may be filed be-
fore the commission and authorizing tha
commission to make investigation on its
own motion to the same extent as though
complaint had been filed.
In retaining the senate provisions au-
thorising the suspension of an increased
rate for a period of ten months and put-
ting the Durdjn of proof uiwn the railroad
as to the reasonableness of such Increase
the conferees added a provision as fol-
lows: "The commission ahall give to the hear-
ing and disposition of such questions pref-
erence over all Other questions pending
before it and decldethe same a$ speedily
as possible."
Senator Paynter's amendment requiring
the Issuance of way bills Indicating the
eld and Increased rates and to require
railroads to reimburse shippers for the
amount In the Increase In the event the
commission declared it to be unjust was
stricken out.
The house provision authorized the
commission to nmke thrnunh rates be-
tween suburban or Inter urban and stock
railroada was retained as was the sen-
ate provision giving to the shipper the
right to say over what railroads his
freight should be routed.
Railroads and their agents will be pro-
hibited throughout the retention of a sen-
ate amendment from disclosing Informa-
tion concerning a shipper's business except
under due process of the courts. The
penalty for violations of this provision
was fixed by the conferees at not more
than 1 1000 for each offeme.
. The confereea v struck; . out the senate
provision requiring the corrfmlsslon to
make an analysis of classifications and
tariffs every six months.
Senator Overman's amendment In ref-
erence to Interlocutory Injunctions- re-
straining the action of the State officers
uiion the ground of the unconstitutional-
ity of State statutes was accepted by the
conferees. Botli the house and ' senate
provided that the new law should take
effect after the expiration of sixty dsys
after its passage. The conferees how-
ever. Inserted a provision section 12. In-
cluding the right of the commission to
Suspend proposed increases In rates and
section 16. which authorises the commis-
sion to appoint a committee to study
stocks and bonds shall take effect imme-
diately on the approval of the act.
THE FINAL PHASE
Continued from Page One.)
are kept In and the Egyptian people kept
out: a democracy in EngtaThd that will
not feel Itself fully attained by the mere
participation of all classes of Englishmen
In the elective franchise so long ;.s the
Englishman who tills the soil Is prac-
tically excluded from ever owning the
soil he tills; a democracy that In America
Is rapidly coming to believe that If. under
modern conditions competition In soma
fields of Industry must be eliminated and
monopolies must exist the class ot prop-
erty resulting shall not merely by rea-
son of its being a monopoly burden the
people with excessive prices nor. by rea-
son of Its being corporate in form con-
stitute a domain that the people at large
seeking ownership can mt safely enter.
WHERE ITWILL TAIL.
"And where Mr. Taft'e plan falls is that
should It accomplish all that its friends
hope It will accomplish nothing final
In Its nature will even then have been
accomplished the oJd war between ship-
pers and the railroads will still be on:
the old crowd by the manipulation of
corporate securities wlU still be piling
up stupendous Individual fortunes; the
old distrust of the corporate domain as
a field of popular ownership will con-
tinue; the old ascending scale of prices
will not have vanished.
"Is It not time that our "American ma-
jority who wish something done should
afrroe upon a policy that will accomplish
what It wishes done? For my swn part
I see but onp ultimate remedy and that
Is to deil with the railroads that arc nat-
ural monoiKilies and the great Industrial
combinations that have madn themselves
monopolies upon the basis of their being
in law Just what tliey are in fact monop-
olies that modern conditions have made
necessary and then putting upon them
a valuation that takes Into consideration
everything through which they have gone
as well as what they now possess allow
rates and prices that will secure a fair
return on such valuation and no more.
Is that un-American? If would preserve
to the owners the American principle that
owners of property have a right to a
fair return upon their' Investment; It
would preserve to the owners the Amer-
ican principle also that it is better sub-
ject to necessary regulation against un-
just discrimination; that the owners
should have the management of their
own enterprises and It would preserve
the American principle that other things .
equal private ownership and . manage-
ment Is Infinitely more advantageous to
the public than public management. '
"True a limitation upon profits Is In
the nature of Innovation; but actual mo-
nopolies like these recognised as lawful
monopolies would themselves be an In-
novation more profound In their conse-
quences than anything American! that
has occurred since slavery was r sup-
pressedan innovation that -the publlo .
can not safely accept upon any condition
other than that the returns of monopoly
to Iter owners shall not be an injustice
to the people. And. what Is of equal
consequence that status of our Ameri-
can railways and great industrial com-
binations thus definitely settled as prop-
erties Into which the people's money'
might safely go for investment a new

IS FOR SUBMISSION
DAVIDSON MADE THAT PLAIN
IN TEMPLE SPEECH.
Inferred to It Several Times So
There Could Be No Mistake.
Usual Abuse of Colquitt
Houston Post Special)
TEMPLE Texas June 14. An' audi
ence of about 250 people greeted Hon.
R. V. Davidson here tonight many of
the number being women and children.
James T. Ferguson was chairman of the
meeting and Introduced Hon. George C.
Pendleton who. In a lengthy speech
formally presented the speaker.
Mr. Pendleton rehearsed the .career of
Mr. Davidson politically stating that up
to the time of his prosecution of the Wa-
ters Pierce Oil company there was no
blur upon his record and he was the most
popular man In Texas; thereupon he re-
viewed inis Incident from the standDoInt
of an anti-Bailey Ite and wound up by
presenting the speaker.
Many supporters of Colquitt and John-
son were noticed In the audience. The
buiden of Mr. Davidson's speech was
abuse of his three opponents and his em-
phatic assurances of loyalty to resub-
mission. In his remarks upon the latter
subject lie was especially Insistent and
referred time . and again to his stead-
fast devotion to the principle of sub-
mission. There are some here who have
contended that Mr. Davidson was not
suhinlsstonlst but after his speech of to
night they have nothing to say.
That it will make a difference with a
number there can be no doubt as Mr.
Davidson has been' represented in this
antl-prohlbltion stronghold as a passive
and not a militant aubmtsstonlst. His
opening remarks were on the subject of
prohibition and he Meseeched the antl
not to fall out with the pro and consider
the latter as a vlt-lonary for such Is not
a fact: and the pro voter was begged to
regard the antl with a tolerant spirit-
not Hie antl who manufactures and sells
lti I nor. but those who do not. His bellr
was that there should not be the slightest
difference of opinion aS to the right of
tne majority of the pcoplo to amend the
constitution' as the-majority are masters
of the constitution! and those who hold"
to the contrary represent socialism an-
archy and principles destructive of gov-
ernment. The republican party In Texas
Is against submission but he could not
rormirehend how any democrats oouid bo
against ltMtitle he was attorney gen-
eral and nf submission matter was first '
brought up he advised his antl friends
that it was a duty to submit tho Ques-
