However it is not believed here that

tied both sides Will claim to have won.
But the analysis of the Allison amend
ment, which is made by lawyers on
the Democratic side. and by some one on
the Republican side as well. bear out
the insistence Of Aldrich that he would
have won under the Allison proposal.
At least two plans of court review
compromise were under consideration
among Senators on both sides OF the
chamber. when the Allison amendment
was projected into the arena.
1t is claimed on the highest authority
that there was practical assurance OF
a maJority-to be accurate, foTty-seven
votes-for an amendment which repre-
sented a combination OF features from
the Long. Overman. and Bacon amend
ments.
Details of Plan.

to the extent Of limiting the review 10

HOTLY CONTESTED

Labor Affected.

PARIS. May 6.-The general election
today for members of the chamber give
promise at the present time of being
the most warmly contested of recent
years, as the labor dispute is one of the
Chief issues. while the religious Ques-
ton is also likely TO have a widespread
effect on the final result
The stern measures which the govern
ment took to suppress the disorders IN
the mining regions and in the various
communities on the occasion of May Day
have had the effect Of alternating from its
members much OF the labor support that
was with them at the last election, and
II IS now generally admitted that the
outcome of the election will be surpris-
| irg gains for the Socialists.
The Washington times., 1906-05-06

When the Senate takes up the rail-
road rate question tomorrow It will
by no means begin where ii left off at
adjournment Friday. Since that ad-
journment there has been a revelation,
or more properly a reversion to chaos
of the most remarkable sort.
All plans that were in process OF de-
velopment during the past week have
seemingly been wrecked by the explo-
sion over the so-called Allison amend
ment. The Senate must begin again,
with some Of Its most promising sug-
gesuons for agreement entirely out OF
possibility, and With nobody claiming
the courage TO offer a compromise TO
be subjected TO the analysis OF a
representative and ultra-suspicious
body.
The Allison amendment will prob
ably never be offered That was the
opinion Of some Of the Republican Sen
ators yesterday. who have been from
the start Administration men" SEN
ator Delivers expressions concerning &
the probable course Of his colleague
from Iowa indicated that 1t was un-
likely that Senator Allison would make
himself sponsor for the proposal.
Devastating Work.
The amendment that has caused such
n tremendous disturbance IS likely
never to see the light Of day or the
distinction of print. But 1t has done
its devastating work 1t has set the
opposing parties by the ears and has
introduced the element Of party divi-
sion as II has not been known before
during this discussion.
At least until the situation clarifies
and the storm blows over. there Will
be, according to latest opinion, little
chance of getting Democrats to vote
for a Republican measure, or Repub-
licans to support anything from the
Democratic side
The Democrats are piqued at the
effort of the Republicans to set up a
combination by which the bill could be
passed without their help. They point
| out that their votes reported it from
I committee. and the assurance of theil
| substantial support of it in principle
| placed it in position where its passage
in some form, seemed certain. Then
and it is of this the Democrats bitterly
complain-having been forced into a

passage. the Republicans proposed &c

About SIT and a Watch Stolen.
4 German Is Arrested for
the Crime.

The postoffice at Gonzalez, north of
the city, was robbed last night, the
theft occurring during the early por-
ton of the night, and the parties Sc
curing about SIT, watch and some
other articles. A large amount OF the
money was in small change.
The robbery was discovered shortly
after it had occurred, was reported
Immediately and resulted in the ar
rest of Howard Argenas. a German.
The crew of south bound freight
train learned of the robbery as they
passed through the place and the train
had gone only short distance further
when a man answering the descrip-
ton of one seen about Gonzalez during
the day, was seen walking along the
track. He was arrested by the crew
of the train and brought to the city.
Here he was turned over to Chief
Schad, who had been notified, and
Chief Deputy Sanders, and was locked
up in the county Jail charged with
having committed the crime.
On the person of the German was
found about ST in change and a
watch, inside of which was found a
piece of paper with the names of two
parties residing near Gonzalez writ
ten on it.
The man stated that he had been
working at Lockhart and later in Pen
sacola, but had started north and
reached Fiomaton when he decided to
come back to Pensacola.

r. HUDSON BURR
AND VOLUSlA COUNTY
DeLand News.

Four years ago r. Hudson Burr was
nominated by the Democrats of Flori'
da and elected as a member of the
State Railroad Commission. Mr.. Barr
at the time Of his announcement, was
entirely unknown to the people Of the
state. He was engaged in a mercan-
tile business in DHde county. Mr..
Burr's campaign was managed by Guy
l. Metcalfe, and it was hummer from
start to finish. He issued platform
and code of principles, and published
tlhem/in every paper in the state Cat
advertising rates) that would sell him
the space. Many of the most dyed
in-the-wool corporation newspapers re-
fused to publish his platform. even
as advertising matter. and ridiculed
his candidacy.
AS an opponent he had Henry e.
Day, of Gainesville. a former agent
for the Seaboard Air Line railway,
and a man who stood WELL with the
corporation interests. who did every
thing to secure his nomination.
Volusia was one Of the few counties
in the state that failed to give Mr..
Burr a majority.
In his platform, published before
his nomination, he pledged the voters
that he would favor three cent pas.
senger fare. AT the time Of his nomi-
nation, the railroads were charging
from to s cents per mile. Follow
Ing Burr's nomination and election,
two of the railroads of the state vol
UNFAIRLY reduced the passenger fare
to cents per mile-not waiting for
Burr's order to do so. After his cleo
ton, one Of the first acts of the Rail
road Commission was to order the re-
duction of the passenger fare to 3
cents per mile. The commission has
also reclassified freight shipments,
has compelled the erection of depots,
forced the railroads to make better
connections, and otherwise rendered a
great service TO the people.
At the time of Burr's election the
lumber interests of the state were, al
most to a man, opposed to the state
railroad commission, because of its
inanity. Today, our lumber interests
would pay the entire costs of the state
railroad commission before they would
see 1t abolished.
When Burr was elected our people
paid $500 to 60 from DeLand to Jack
sonville and return; two months after
Burr's election they made the same
trip for $6.70-a saving of about 80
per cent. Burr's election puts 1920
into the pockets Of every man who
travels from DeLand to Jacksonville
and return.
From this one would judge that the
people of DeLand would rise up and
call Burr blessed-that they would ap-
preciate what he did for them. They
had chance on May Is to show their
appreciation. How did they do It?
They went to the polls, and out of 276
votes cast, Burr received 100, or about
one-third!
What does this mean? Are our peo-
pie opposed to lower freight and pas
senger fares?
Are we unappreciative? Have we
no sense of gratitude for the public
official or the private citizen who fear
lessly does his duty?
Or do we Just vote as the corpora
ton gang who controls Volusia coun-
ty tells us to vote?
Let each voter decide for himself.
Let him ask himself, "Why did vote
as did,"
