"Haul" Amendment to Railroad
Bill Is Agreed To.
COMPROMISE OF FACTIONS
Republicans. Insurgents and Democrats
All Claim Victory.
MUCH SHIFTING OF VOTES
Vive Republicans and Five Democrats
on Record Against the
Amendment.
Benaie regulars, insurgents and democrats
became political bedfellows yesterday.
and as a result the Senate adopted
by a vote of 57 to 10, a modified form of
the Dixon "long and short haul" amendment
to the railroad bill. It was such a
coalition of a otes that all of the three
factions that united upon the compromise
claim the victory.
Republicans who voted against the
amendment were Senators Bourne of
Oregon, Bulkeley of Connecticut. Frye of
Maine. Gallinger of New Hampshire and
Ueyburn of Idaho.
'remocrat# who voted against the
amendment were Senators Bailey of
Texas. Chamberlain of Oregon, Fletcher
of Florida. McEnery of Louisiana and
Overman of North Carolina.
Democrats who voted in favor of the
amenament were Senators Bacon of
Georgia, Clarke of Arkansas, Clay of
Georgia, Frazier of Tennessee. Martin of
Virginia. Owen of Oklahoma. Paynter
of . entuckr. Percy of Mississippi. Purcell
of North Dakota. Shivety of Indiana.
Simmons of North Carolina. Smith of
booth Carolina and Taylor of Tennessee.
Changes Present Law.
/he amendment which lias been adopter
changes the present law on long-andsho

prohibit railroads from charging more
for a short than for a long haul "under

whet conditions justify a higher charge !
for a short than for a long haul.
The amendment adopted yesterday cuts
out the words "under substantially,
' similar circumstances and conditions" ;
' and leaves a flat prohibition against the t
charging of more for a short than for a j
, long haul. But there is a proviso which :
will give the interstate commerce com-)
j mission power to authorize a lower charge I
for a long than for a short haul. It was ,
. the framing of this proviso which caused I
; the greatest amount of discussion. As
adopted the proviso is as follows:
j "That the interstate commerce comi
mission may, from its knowledge, or from
information, or upon application, ascertain
that the circumstances and conditions
of the longer haul are dissimilar to
j the circumstances and conditions of the
shorter haul, whether thev result from
! competition by water or rail: then it may
j authorize a common carrier to charge
I less for the longer than for the shorter
) distances for the transportation of passengers
-or property; but in no event shall
I the authority be granted unless the commission
is satisfied that all the rates involved
are Just and reasonable and not
unjustly discriminatory nor unduly preferential
or prejudicial. That no rates or
charges lawfullv existing at the time of
the passage of this amendatory act shall
be required to be changed by reason of
the provisions of this section prior to
| the expiration of six months after the
i passage of this act, nor in any case
where application shall have been filed
be'?r* the commission, in accordance
with the provisions of this section, until

.^lifting of Votes.
There was much shifting of support
from one amendment to another during '
the afternoon, as the hour fixed for the
vote?t o'clock?approached. During the
morning there was a general feeling
round the Senate thut the regulars
would secure enough votes from the democratic
side of the chamber to kill a longand-whort
haul amendment. The insurgents
and other senators from the Rocky
mountain states were hoping for sufficient
democratic support to carry the
Dixon amendment.
The democrats, however, or a large
portion of them, had some ideas of their
own. After the defeat of the Dixon
I amendment they decided to rally to the
support of an amendment offered by
Senator l'aynter, very similar to that of
Senator Dixon. With the votes of republicans
who wanted some kind of an
amendment they hoped to pass the Paynter
amendment?and that would enable
them to claim the credit for a victory
over the republicans. If that failed the
democrats were to rally to the support
of the amendment of Senator Overman,
which would place rates largely on a
mileage basis.
As the afternoon wore on. Senator
Aldrich and other of the Senate leaders
learned that his democratic allies were
going to stand by him only against the
Dixon amendment?but no further. Senator
Dixon also heard the rumblings of
defeat through the democrats.
Just before the hour for the vote the
two republican factions got together.

of the adoption of a democratic amend- an
ment. It was agreed that the outlook for to
the adoption of the Dixon amendment and m:
for the defeat of any amendment were to
both dubious, on account of the attitude or
of the democrats. A compromise was ba
proposed and accepted by the leaders of wl
the two republican factions. of
Mistake in the Text. ' ta<When
the Dixon substitute?as the com- J-el
promise amendment is called?was read coi
from the desk, it was discovered that it J tin
was not as agreed to. There had been , v?
some mistake in putting its parts together j an
and in making some substitution of: flo
words. In accordance with the agreement ! an
reached in the Senate the vote was to be an
taken at 4 o'clock, and it was then a he
minute after that hour.
Senator Aldrieh rushed to the desk
?* Senator Dixon, and there was a!
whispered consultation. Senator Dixon
obtained the floor. 1 is
"I move a recess until 4:30 o'clock.'!
he Raid. Some senators expressed their j .
disapproval by shouting "no" and ,
"regular order"; but when the vote was ;
put a recess was ordered. j rej
Although the Senate was in recess, few '
senators left the Senate chamber. There
were many consultations between groups ar<
and factions on the floor of the Senate? on
such as usually occur in committee eel
rooms behind closed doors. Senator
Dixon was \ne of the busiest men on
the floor. He talked with Senators Aid- ?
rich, Cummins, Bacon and others of the nit
several factions. Senator Smoot was ev,
cutting parts of several amendments
and writing, with a group of senators
around him all the time, and after lie mi
had completed ills task lie exhibited the
patchwork to many others on the floor. , T ..
When the hour of 4:30 o'clock arrived i lbI
Senator Dixon was not satisfied that 8eI
the compromise amendment was proper- mi
ly framed and understood, and moved tin
another recess until f> o'clock. There
was considerable opposition to that, and
it was only after a roll call that it
nan lunru. |
Finally Patched Up. i rel
During this second recess Senators
Smoot, Dixon and Bacon gathered of
around a desk on the democratic side gl,
of the chamber. There was more cuttin*
and pasting and writing?Senator sa
Smoot doing most of the selecting and la<
Senator Bacon using the?pastebrusli. It ra:
was just five minutes of 5 o'clock when m<
the work was completed and then there
was a lull. '
Senator Dixon then offered the modi- (
fled amendment. It included parts of
his own amendment, a clause from the
Paynter amendment and some new
words suggested by Senator Smoot.
When it was proposed there was instant
objection from Senator Heyburn
and later by Senator Stone. Senator
Heyburn insisted that the agreement
was that the vote should be taken at 4
o'clock on the Dixon original amendment.
and that no modification or substitute
for it was in order. This was
overruled. Sengtor Stone then urged
that the amendment to be voted upon
was new?different from that which it
had been agreed to vote at 4~o'clock?

The university will probably be estabished
either in the central part of t!ie

s intended to make it a great national
nstitution of learning for the Polish peo>le,
supported by popular subscription,
md with a faculty drawn from the larger
iniversities of Europe, where there are
nany Polish professors.
The educational idea for preser^ng the

The various sections adjourned about

of the congress hope to finish the deliberations
this evening. There are many

Several hundred members of the conress
