Senate Amends Rate Bill as Roosevelt Calls for Fairer Competition
Washington May 6 amendments to the railroad rate bill are being considered under the leminate rule. The Lodge provision to bring pipelines within the bill was adopted with exclusions for pass and waterlines, limiting operation to fines and applying to the old Panama Canal Zone line.

In Bloomington, James Pollard of Manito, long leader of local banking and coal ventures, dies.
