IN SENATE
Senator Bailey of Texas Delivers a
Great Speech on Railroad Rate
Bill.
SENSATION
Senator Bailey of Texas, the leader
of the Democratic party on the floor
of the senate, answered the criti-
cisms of Senators Spooner and Knox
on his proposition to prohibit temp-
orary injunctions in the provisions
of the Hepburn rate bill. For more
than four hours he held the undi-
vided attention of the senate and the
crowded galleries, quoting decision
after decision to sustain his con-
tention.
When Senator Bailey concluded his
speech he was greeted with the
greatest demonstration that has been
accorded any senator who has ad-
dressed that body this season. He
closed with a beautiful peroration,
one that did not apply directly to
the question in dispute, though it
vas one to appeal to the popular
fancy. As he closed the galleries
broke into a loud applause, and men
and women joined in handclappings
and that could not be stilled by the
rapping of the vice president's
gavel. Senators gathered about him
and shook his hand, extending their
congratulations upon his speech,
though they did not generally agree
with his logic.
Senator Knox walked
grasped the Texan by the hand and
expressed his appreciation of the
speech. The two have a high regard
for each .other, though they repre-
sent opposite views upon the ques-
tion pending.
Mr. Bailey's argument was against
the distinction that Senators Spoon-
er and Knox made between the
terms ‘‘jurisdiction’”” and ‘judicial
power.”” He declared that there was
no appreciable difference between

the meaning of the two terms and
proceeded to read from numerous su-
preme court decisions and text writ-
{ ers in support of his theory that con-
i gre has the right to prohibit tem-
pora injunctions and otherwise lim-
it a judicial power of the court.
Popular and senatorial interest
in the young Texan's address was un-
precedented in recent times, ‘culmi-
nating in a dramatic climax, when
Senator Hale, ohe of the Republican
senators, as Bailey was about to
finish, declared that to his mind the
Texan’s argument and citations were
conclusive as to the point that Con-
gress bad the right to prohibit the
issuance of injunctions by the -in-
ferior Federal courts against orders
of the interstate commerce commis-
sion, pending judicial review of such
