CAPPER GIVES FAIR WARNING OF HOT FIGHT Kansas Senator Predicts Passage of Amendment on Rail Rates. WASHINGTON, Dee. 23.—An attempt to cboke off the Capper amendment to the transportation act, l>y which the rate guarantee section of the act would l>e eliminated and interstate rate-making powers would be restored to the States, will be met with a hot tight in the Senate. This was the promise made today by Senator Capper, Republican, Kansas, in cowmen* ing on the statement by Senator LaFollette, liepublican, Wisconsin, that railroad interests were trying to “call off” the farmers of the country from their opposition to the act as it stands. •When I first altered the amendment to the act it seemed to have little chance of passage,” said Capper. “Cut sentiment has grown strongly in favor of it until the farmers and the State commissions are almost solidly behind it and the railroads are concentrating all their forces to beat it. “I predict it will pass. The big fight will be to get it out of committee. But we do not intend to let up on it until we gef feme sort of satisfaction.” Capper said he was puzzled Iv the action ascribed by LaFoiiette to representatives of the National Grange and the National Association of Farm Bureaus. who were represented to have agreed with the railroad representatives at a secret meeting in Washington to join the railroads iu a program of legislation. “These farmer representatives may have been misled, but whatever their motives, I am certain the farmers will never back any s*. h action as is ascribed to them. The farmers of the country are a unit in demanding legislation that will insure lower freight rates." Among the pretty weddings of the noliday season was that of Miss Esther Berryhill and Harold E. Harding, which took place this afternoon in the home of the bride's parents. Mr. and Mrs. .1. M. Berryhill, 1712 North Capitol avenue.
