[By Morning Journal Special Leased Wire.
Washington, Jan. 9.--Tn view of the
fact that the senate has agreed to vote
at o'clock tomorrow on the bill linn
iting the hours of service of railway
employees. considerable time was de-
voted in the senate today to that
measure. Senator La Toilette gave
notice that he would move to take up
the bill Immediately after routine bus
mess tomorrow.
The discussion was opened by Mr.
Lafollette who declared the bill had
received the endorsement of national
organizations of all classes of railway
employees and that the opposition now
being manifested was from employees
who had been coerced by the rail-
roads to present protests. The discus
sion was participated in by Senators
Bacon, Dolliver,, Patterson. Hepburn.
Gallnger and Beveridge.
In support of his contention that
the railroads had been very busy since
nc last session in developing opposi-
zion to the bill Mr.. LaFollette read Il
set of resolutions concerning them
presented to a lodge of railway em-
poyes, the name of which he with
held, by E. r. Lamb, division superin-
tendent of the Southern railway. The
lodge applied for information on the
SUBJECT 10 II. IL. fulief, legislative
representative of the Railway EN-
ployes national organization and had
not endorsed the resolutions.
3 long record Of accidents was read
by Mr.. LaFollette, showing that in ali
the trainmen involved had been on
duty from seventeen to forty-three
hours continuously.
When the forty-three hour record |
was given Senator Beveridge wanted |
to know the road on which the acci- /
dent had occurred. He said he was
shocked, as he believed every other
senator was, that any road would keep
a man on duty forty-three hours.
Senator LaFolette said that for OBJ
vious reasons he would not give the
name of the road, and explained that
il developed that In many cases the /
men themselves were responsible for |
the long hours.
After a general discussion tenta-
tive agreement was reached in the |
senate today justifying the expectation /
that vote on the general service PEN
sion bill will be taken next Friday |
The measure received no vital criti-
cism, but many commentators. Sem
ator McCumber spoke at length in
support of the measure
The remainder of the day was de-
voted to discussion of the bill limit
ing the hours of railway employees,

agreement tomorrow. The Browns

CARLISLE INSTITUTE
MAY BE ABOLISHED

Washington Jan. 9.-Carlisle insti-
tute which was established at Car
lisle, Pa, in 1897, for the higher edu
cation OF the Indians, is in danger of
Deing abolished. The subcommittee
OF the senate committee on Indian af-
iairs, which has the Indian appropria-
tlon bill under consideration, has
agreed TO report an amendment strik-
inP out the schools appropriation. The
reason advanced by the members of
the committee is that the school be-
ing so far from the Indian reserva-
lions, is not so effective as the west
ern educational institutions for the
Indians. The appropriation bill as it
passed the house. carried 100000 for
the support of the school during the
ensuing year
one member of the committee said
today that, while he was not ready to
say that the higher education of the
indian had been a failure. he could
not overlook the fact that Instances
could be cited where the Indian had
not made the most of his schooling
