ENcES BETWEEN MAJORITY
AND MINORITY LEADERS.

Washington, May 24-The railroad rata
bill will be taken from the speakers
table tomorrow and sent to conference.
This action has been decided on by Rep-i
resentative Hepburn, chairman of ths
committee on interstate and foreign conf,
merce. Tho delay so far in taking this
action has been caused by desire on
the part of the republican leaders to
reach an agreement with the minority.i
whereby the bill might be sent to cone
ference by unanimous vote making UNI
necessary the bringing In of special
rule.
Minority Leader williams, however, has
taken the position that II the republicans

GALA OCCASION AT
EAST LAKE PARK
BETWEEN TEN AND FIFTEEN
THOUSAND PEOPLE WENT OUT
LAST NIGHT TO ENJOY THE
VARIOUS ATTRACTIONS.

The varied attractions at East Lake
last night drew out a crowd of between
ten and fifteen thousand pleasure-seekers
to that popular resort. Under the man.
agement of Fred Montebaro, everything
went off smoothly.
The center of interest was the spec
tacular fireworks display. The pyrotech-
meal splendors illuminated the heavens
far and wide, as the pin wheels and
rockets danced and scared over the placid
waters of Lake Como. and lighted up
with a lurid splendor the crowding throng
on the shore.
Another feature of interest was the
first nights exercises of the commence
ment of the East Lake schools This was
participated In by the junior grades, and
consisted of Rotations. drills and musical
selections. The casino was filled, and
from the small admission price of 10
cents, about s65 was realized for the
school fund. The senior exercises will
be held in the same theater tonight
All of the other amusements were run
ming In full blast. The figure eight. the
y-go-round, the giant swing and all
the rest were taxed to their capacity al
most at every trip. A novel feature that
commanded a goodly share of attention
was the pleasure wheel, which only be-
gan running yesterday. The dancing pa
viliop drew many of the young people,
while other of more quiet tastes chose
a boat or a secluded bench away from the
noise of the crowd.

afternoon by Policemen Parker and Me-

or two and that for some time they have
suspected these negroes. A third one Is
also under suspicion, but so far he has

is said, one of them engaging a clerk as
though he we're going to buy, while the
others would conceal some article of APP

realistic. There is also plenty of strenu-
Gus excitement and climaxes thai are in

given tonight. A matinee tomorrow after
