No Amendments To Hepburn Bill Tillman To Report
In a dramatic Senate session the committee voted to report the Hepburn bill favorably without amendments with Tillman selected to report the measure. Dolliver and Clapp supported the move while Elkins pressed for a court review provision. The vote, 4-3, split along party lines, and Tillman quickly assumed a leading role, signaling a sharp turn in railroad legislation and a test of presidential relations.

Garfield A Target Declares He Kept Faith In Department Case
Chicago February 23 Commissioner of Corporations Garfield faced sharp cross examination in the packers case. He asserted he turned over some information to the Department of Justice but claimed it did not come from the packers. He said the material came from various informants nationwide and was not from the defendants. He noted the president directed some reports to be sent to the Attorney General and that no information from the packers was given beyond chapter three of the report relating to cattle prices. A January 28 1905 letter warned Durand to be careful securing information from packers. The court adjourned before further testimony.
