TAKES POWER FROM COMMISSION
loiran Sonant to Prohibit Haines I n
Ill Approved by Interstate Com
metre Commission Clark's
Motion Likewise Lost.
WASHINGTON, May 27-Throigh the de
feat In the senate yesterday of a number of
amndnvnts offered by "Insurgnr'" re
publicans and democrats, the way w.is
paved for on early vote on the administra
tion railroad bill. It Is expected this will
como tomorrow and the senate then will
adjourn over until Monday, when the state
hood bill probably will be made the un
finished business.
The regular republicans maintained a
firm hold upon the situation during several
votes on Important features, notwithstand
ing the fact that the Insurgents and demo
crats united their votes on several occa
sions. More was accomplished during the
closing hours of the sossion today than In
any one week during the three months tho
bill has been the pending business.
Not until S o'clock was anything done
boyqnd listening to dlxcusslnn of the mens
ure, but when at that time Senator la
Follctte concluded his two days' speech In
opposition to the bill tho voting proceeded
rapidly, with the following results:
Tho Cummins amendment requiring the
approval of the Interstate'Commerce com
mission of all increases In railroad rates
beforo they become effective was voted
down, 29 to 43.
The Martin amendment requiring the
committee to reach a final decision on In
creases within six months was defeated,
U to 54.
An amendment by Mr. Clarke of Ar
kansas to defer Increased rates until passed
upon by the commission, but putting them
Into effect after six months, pending a
final decision, was rejected, 35 to 40.
Time Limit Extended.
An amendment composed of propositions
by Senators Jones and Payntcr waa ac
cepted. This provision provides for the
extension for a period of six months of
the 120-day suspension of new rates and
egulations for the hearing as to their
reasonableness If not concluded in that
time and for refunding of the difference
between rates it the new rate is found
to be unreasonable. Thla amendment was
adopted unanimously.
Ait amendment by Senator Hughes strik
ing out the capitalisation clause of the
bill was adopted with practical unanimity,
Senator Burton casting the only negative
vote.
Of all the votes of the day the one on
the Cummins amendment was by far the
most Important. The vote on this amend
ment was by no means so close as had
been predicted by Its friends and feared
by Its opponents. Three days ago the ad
vocates of the bill, as suggested by tho
administration, had been apprehensive of
the success of the Cummins provision, but
during that time they had been extremely
active, with the result that while they
made Important concessions they scored
the defeat of the provision.
Position of Insurgents, x
Of the twenty-nine votes favorable to the
amendment twelve were cast by Insurgent
republicans, as follows: Deverldge, Borah,
Bourne, Brlstow, Burkett, Clapp, Craw
ford, Cummins, Dixon, Dolllver, Gamble
and La Follette. Only four democrats,
Bailey, Mclncry, Smith of Maryland and
Taylor, voted for tne provision.
The pairs on the vote were announced as
follows: Root with Taliaferro, Flint with
Culberson, Lorlmer with Davis, Dillingham
with Tillman, McCumber with Foster and
Richardson with Rayner. Senators Bank
head, Bulkeley,' Daniel, Hughes, Money,
Newlands, Penrose and Percy were absent
and unpaired. Explanations were made In
behalf of most of the absentees.
The closest vote was 35 to 40 on the
amendment offered by Senator Clarke of
Arkansas, regulating the extensions of time
allowed for hearing on rate changes.
The presentation of the Martin amend
ment requiring tne interstate commerce
commission to reach ita decisions on In
creased rates within six months and the
doubt as to the effect of that provision
after the expiration of that period in case
of the failure of the commission to comply
with this demand, were responsible in
large measure lor . tne rate or that provision.
Agree on Jones' Amendment.
The Jones" amendment presented a sim
pler solution and with the Cummins pro
vision disposed of, it waa acceptable to all
parties to the opponents of the bill because
It was the best they could get, and to its
frlenda because It waa found necessary to
go that far in order to get enough to de
feat the Cummlna amendment.
Pending the vote on the Jones-Poynter
amendment there waa much confusion as to
the parliamentary statutes of the two
amendments as separately presented.
The original suggestion of Mr. Jones
merely provides for an extension of the sus
pension of the 120-day period, already al
lowed by the bill for Investigations of new
rates by the Interstate Commerce com
mission. It goes Into the bill as a proviso
and reads as follows:
That if any such hearing cannot be
concluded within the period of suspension,
the Interstate Commerce commission may,
In Its discretion, extend the time of sus
pension for a further period not exceed
ing six months."
The addition made at the suggestion of
Mr. Paynter provides that "If the Increased
rate la found to be unreasonable the car
rier shall refund to the party paying it
the difference between that and the rate
aa It existed before the increase, and shall
do so on the presentation- of the bill of
lading, receipt or expense bill at its office
where the freight charges were made."
The Paynter provision also directs the
Issuance of way bills and receipts, show
ing the points of origin and destination of
freight, giving the names of consignor and
consignee, and the total amount of charges,
all to be used as a basis for settlement.
Aldrleh la Affirmative,
Notwithstanding it waa evident from the
time an agrement was reaohed for the ac
ceptance of the Paynter amendment that
the Joint provision would meet with gen
eral favor a roll call vote waa ordered.
Mr. Aldrlch's name was the first called and
In loud voice he responded In the af
firmative. Coming immediately after him
was Senator Bacon and he cast his vote
in the negative. All others voted for the
provision and Mr. Bacon then changed his
vote, rendering the verdict unanimous. He
took occasion to state, however, he had
originally voted "no" because he did not
favor the Jones' portion of the amendment
ri eat-uuiig uia Kiiiciiuiiim airiKing Out
sections 11 14, 15 and 17, which are broadly
detcrlbed as the capitalisation provisions
of the bill, Mr. Hughes pressed for an
Immediate vote and the amendment was
aocepted without much dlacusslon. Again
the roll call developed a unanimous vote,
with one exception. The negative vote waa
caBt by Mr. Burton of Chlo. In the discus
sion the fact developed that practically all
the senators were opposed to the capitalisa
tion provisions.
The "Insurgent' republicans based their
oj position on the ground that sufficient
