MAY LOWER FLAG OF TRUCE Peace Now HoTering- Over Senate May Change to Open Hostility. i I0WANS HEADED EASTWARD raanmlna aad n.lllver Mar Hnw Flabt at National Capital Aldrlch la Ala eerln Ike Goal. WASHINGTON, May t.-fnder a flag of truce, hostilities between the conservative and progressive republicans of the senatu over the administration railroad bill have ceased temporarily. They will be renewed probably when Senators Cummins and Dol llver return Thursday from Iowa, where they have gone to open the campaign. Sen ator Aldrlch la expected to return from Rhode Island Tuesday. If he should at tempt to precipitate a vote on any Im portant amendment Senators JaFollette and Clapp will undertake to hold the floor. Meanwhile the White House will be the scene of the real activities, Presldnt Taft having undertaken to bring into line some of the so-called "near Insurgents" whose attitude on the railroad bill has been a matter of doubt. That work was begun yesterday and It was claimed that Sena tors Gamble and Crawford of South Da kota would Join the forty-five regular re publicans previously canvassed, making the necessary "all republican majority" for the administration program. 'While an understanding was reached In the house that the vote on the railroad bill would be taken TUesdayi It now seems certain that the democrat will seek to have the bill recommitted with Instruc tions that the sections for the creation of a court of commerce be eliminated. The vote, it Is conceded, will be close. In the senate the long and short haul provision Is the Immediate subject of con troversy, but la receiving little more at tention than the stock and bond sections which come further along In the bill and which are far more puzzling. Tho presi dent and the attorney general are pressing for their retention and, inclined to accedo to their demands, the regular republicans will make a stand for the sections. Some of the regulars, however, would be pleased If they were eliminated. Among those who are understood to doubt the wisdom of their retention are Senators A Id rich, Elklns and Root, all of whom concede the possibility of legal com plications over their conflict with state I laws. They are not disposed to yield, how ever, and Attorney General Wlckersham Is represented as being willing to vouch tor the validity of the provisions. Matter of Haala. No especial effort is being made to hold republicans In line against the long and short haul amendment. It Is generally recognized that local conditions are such that many of the senators from the In terior states cannot avoid supporting this provision. But the regulars count con fidently upon making up among the demo crats the losses on their own side of the chamber. Conceding the probable los of nineteen votes from that side In favor of the amendment they say will get fif teen democrats in opposition to the provi sion. Their contention is that most of the dem ocratic senators whose states skirt the At lantic, Paclflo and Gulf coasts, aa well a some of those along the Mississippi, will antagonize the provision. If they get the fifteen democratic votes and hold the forty republicans they will have a majority of eight The nineteen republican votes which it Is expected will be caat for the amendments are those of Senators Beverldge, Borah, Brlstow, Brown, Butkett, Carter, Clapp, Crawford, Cummins, Curtis, Dixon, Dol llver. Gamble, Guggenheim, Heyburn, La Follette, Nixon, Smoot and Sutherland. The J supporters of the provision also hope to get Senator Jones' vote. Prealdeat'a Attitude. The president la said to be urging repub lican senators to keep the long and short haul question out of the bill, but Is not making It a test of party loyalty. I-e takes the position that most of the amendments suggested would have the effect of plac ing railroad charges purely on a mileage basis. Refusing to concede that such would be the result, the proponents declare their conviction that if the provision should be Inserted he would not veto the bill on that account, as has been asserted he would do. On other points they find the president most Insistent upon maintaining strict party discipline. Senator Brandegee, who Is among the staunchest of the stalwarts, is reported by his colleagues as having ad vised the chief executive to "quit kissing off the Insurgents," and "to get out his tomahawk," and the president Is said to have expressed no disapproval of the sug gestion. President Taft will be absent from Wash ington the early part of the week on a visit to New York and Passaic, N. J.

Bishop Williams of the'Eplscopal diocese of Nebraska admlftlsWrVo" 'confirmation to a large class Sunday 'morning at 11 o'clock, at St. Barnabas' church, Nineteenth and California streets. Rev. John Williams, the rector of the church presented the class to the bishop and assisted at the . service, which was high mass with music by the boy choir. The musical program Consisted of Bat- terson Haynes' mass, the "Nunc dlmittls," to the muslo of the Gregorian chant, and the "Gloria In Excelsls Deo," to the old chant. Dudley Buck's "Rock of Ages" was given as the offertory. Bishop Williams announced no text for his sermon, but preached on "The Gift of the Holy Ghost." He spoke particularly of the tendency of Christian people to neglect those gifts which God has given to man. He said that these gifts when properly de veloped result in the Joy of spiritual life. He said that it is often the case that Christian people who have been taught the value ot the spiritual life during their youth ,have neglected every opportunity for its development until the individual be came hardened to the will of God, and had developed Into a parasite feeding on the goodness of his Creator. The bishop urged those who were con firmed and the others present In the church not to neglect the opportunities constantly presented to them for religious advance ment, saying that happiness would result from following the teachings of Christ.

Jenks 1'reuekre on the Topic of Woman's Power. "At the head of the scroll of good and gieat deeds shall appear the names of women who have been true home-makers," said Rev. 10. II. Jenks at the First Pres byterian church Sunday morning. The subject of his sermon was "A Urcat Womun," from the text, II Kings lv:8. "Somo there are who say there has been no great or enduring work that hns come from the hand of woman, neither in paint ing, literature, sculpture or construction," said he. "Others have said that woman Is Inferior to man. When Christ came He gave some different Ideas as to woman hood. His coming was in an age when the fighting qualities of men were at their height. The Romans had just shortened the sword fur the first time, that they might come In closer reach of their ene mies. It was an age of strength and cour age. "Christ said: 'Blessed are the peace makers.' He taught that all the great qualities of men were not in the strengtli of their arms, but in those powers com- I monly attributed to women, patience, meek ness, contentment and enduranoe. It Is In these qualities ihtit woman stands' alone like a rock buffeted by the anry sea. Great are the peiwers of endurance of womanhood. Great in suffering, great in self-sacrifice .and great in devotion. Tho greatest heroes of the wars that have dis turbed mankind vre the women, the moth ers who maintained Inviolate their lonely homes, cared for their children, wrought for their sustenance while their natural protectors were away in battle. "But greatest of all is the home-maker. Men like to face hard things, they enjoy battle. But woman is the guardian of the truest and "best In life the home. She cannot drive, but she can gently lead men. There la no power on earth like this homo making power of woman. "No man was great but he had a great mother. The source from which comes the best In mankind ia from home, from mother. The greatness of a nation is not founded upon Its militant strength, but upon the morality that has Its origin In the homes of its people. What cannot a woman do in the home? " 'What X am I owe to my mother,' said Lincoln. "Great and mighty names will adorn the scrolls of human achtpvenients, but at the head of all of them will appear the names ot women who have been true home makers." Meat Riots In Detroit. DETROIT.
