THE AMENDMENT OF SENATOR
ELKINS PASSED THE SENATE BY
MORE THAN SIXTY MAJORITY I

WASHINGTON. May 10.-An day
long yesterday the tide OF battle IN

ment offered by Senator Ell>ins. pro-
hibiting railroads from buying or sell
ing in interstate commerce. coal, coke
or other commodities of which 1t is a
common carrier Senator Elldns had
tried to get his amendment TO extend
to the operation of mining and manu-
featuring. but II was held by the au-
thorities ON constitutional law in the
Senate that Congress could not take
cognizance of the action Of the rail-
ried should reach and cross a State
line. Toovercome this objection Sena-
tor Ellins modified his amendment as
above stated. and it went through With
ia whoop, carrying by more than sixty
majority.
The battle started Tuesday. when
Senator EIdns called up the original
amendments introduced by him 1t
was objected to by several Senators
and was finally amended by a motion
of Senator Dryden, extending the per
iod when It should go into effect to
May 1, 1909 Yesterday afternoon, IN
order that he might have it go into
effect earlier he introduced the amend
ment, which passed as substitute.
Senator E1Eins was warmly conSratu-
lated upon the success OF his amend
ment 1t is quite generally felt that
it is one of the most important provi-
sions OF the bill Senator Bailey stated
that 1t had as much that was good in
it as any proposition yet advanced.
and Senator Dolliver warmly advocat-
ed the object sought.
Senator Elkins also secured the pas
sage of his amendment requiring rail-
.roads to give connection to all ship
pers having sufficient business to iusti-
fy switches His amendment requiring
railroads TO give connections to lateral
and branch lines was lost upon the
statement of Senator Dolliver but that
evil will be corrected under the pend
ing bill.

ned over the success OF his amend
ment.

AT MEETING IN THIS.
CITY.

HUNTINGTON. May lO.-Monday
night at the office of the superintend-
emf of schools in the Carnegie library
building, very important educational
committee deliberated for three OF four
hours, and adopted a report which
will be read at the meeting of the
West Virginia Educational ASsocia-
ton the last week IN June at Fair

Geo 5. Laidley, of Charleston. Dr.
waitman Barbe. of the State Univer-
sity. Superintendent w NJ. Foulk, Of
Huntington. and Principal Josiah
Keely. of the Montgomery Prepara-
tory school.
All Of the members were present
State Superintendent T. c. Miller was
also present during most of the even
ing.
The plan adopted by the committee
proposes important changes in the
methods Of conducting teachers in
stitutes The object is to plan the
work of conducting the institutes in
the hands of specially trained and
competent men who shall devote all
of their time to it
The plan proposed viii cost the
State but little II any more. than the
present method and viii give the in
stitutes professional character
which they now sadly lack. If the
accommodation of this committee
prevail. there wiIlSbe an Institute
Board composed of the State superin-
tendent and two men appointed by
him. and this board shall have COM
plete charge of all county and district
institutes. make the programmes, fix
the times. etc, and the. two institute
experts" on the board will conduct
the various institutes with such as
sistance as may be necessary
Everybody who is familiar with
West Virginia institutes as at pres
ent conducted will certainly favor
such plan as this one by these edu-
Gators who have given the subject so
much attention
