Hepburn Bill Does Not Properly
Protect Shippers or Communities
Washington, April 30.—Congress la
continuing to debate the railroad
rate question ln the effort to turn
out a bill that will be constitutional
and that will not do more harm than
good. The latter nppeara to be a
difficult task. It has been pointed
out ln th«* different speeches In Cong
ress that almost every provision cf
the Hepburn bill will result ln Injury
and Injustice to the shippers and
producers In some part of the coun

amendments to the bill have been

from serious damage.
Meanwhile, ’hooks on the subject
of railroad rate making continue to
appear, giving the results of studies
on this subject by various investiga
tors. The latest of these books Is
by Mr. Frank Parsons, a professor
of political economy. Prof. Parsons
Is strongly In favor of having rates
fixed by tbe government, but he rec
ognizes the fact that If the rates are
controlled by a political commission
sitting ln Washington, - this commis
sion will practically control all the

not give way to water. Some aqua
pura found Its way Into tbe pipes
but the normal flow could not be
secured.
Finally the Savannah Fire Depart
ment was called upon and more than
half a day was spent yesterday and
last night In pumping a heavy stream
of water through the main pipe to
clear It out. This did a little good.
The remedy was applied further
last night but tbe effect was not
what had been hoped for. The bank
officials do not think the eartbquak*
had anything to do with the trouble.
