So Serious Was Situation that President Was Informed of
Circumstance While at Pittsbug.
Responsibility of Failure of Taft's Meas
ure Will be Placed on Shoulders
of the Insurgent Forces.

tration will endeavor to place the
responsibility of the Taft railroad
legislation. Taft is said to have
expressed himself emphatically to
this effect to Aldrich over the tele-
phone. He said he had initiated
the pending measure and had adj
vocated it throughout the country
in the form in which it was report
ed in the senate, and if the COM
bination of insurgent republicans
and democrats rendered it impossi-
BILE for republican majority to en-
act the bill, he felt the administra-
tion should be relieved of the re-
sponsibility of the defeat.
Although they have been ad-
mittedly stopped from passing the
bill in any form they wished, the
administration senators have begun
a formulation of plans to take away
from the insurgent republicans the
claim of a clean cut victory. They
even wore the air of jubiliation to-
night over the prospects of put
ting the insurgents" to rout on
the pending Cummins amendment to
the traffic agreement section which
will be the first matter voted upon
when the bill Is again taken up,
which perhaps will be tomorrow.
Throughout today efforts will be
made to effect an agreement be-
tween those who favored the Cum
Minis amendment, and those who
supported the Elkins-Crawford pro-
vision. The first would require all
traffic agreements and changes in
rates to be approved by the inter
state commerce commission before
taking effect. The latter would
make all traffic agreements lawful
under the Sherman law but would
not require that rates made by
railroads should be submitted to
the commission in advance

UNIQUE RUN
ON BANK FOR NO
KNOWN REASON

LOS ANGELES, Cal, May 2-One
of the most unique runs in the his
tory of finance was started on the
Los Angeles All Night and Day
bank at O'Clock this morning and
at midnight there were still sew
eral hundred waiting. President
Newton Skinner issued statement
tonight saying every depositor
would receive dollar for dollar and
that the institution was solvent.
The president attributes the run
to a published announcement to the
effect that the bank had been re-
fused admission to the Los Angeles
clearing house association. Be-
cause of it's methods of doing busi-
ness the bank could not close at
any time of the day and for this
reason it became liable to the con-
stant line of those who desired to
withdraw their money. Up to III
o'clock tonight Skinner estimated
that $125,OOO had been withdrawn,

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The acid
test of the practicability of all the
government work is at hand. On
April 1st there was due and pay
able into the reclamation fund
from the settlers on the various
projects, approximately $1,000.0C0
for water rights. If the farmers
were able to meet their payments
it evidences that the government
is able to secure return on IT'S
investment. If the payments are
not made, the law is failure in
one of, it's most important provis-
ions and the operations of the re-
clamation service would quickly
be brought to an end.
But careful canvass of the pro-
iects on which water rights charges
are due indicates that the settlers
as a rule are able and willing to
meet them.
On the big North Platte project
in Wyoming and Nebraska, there
were 335 farms with charges due
on April 1st. 1t is reported that
20 of them paid up as early as last
December and. of the remaining
10S the engineers in the field es-
innate that not more than ten
will be likely to be cancelled. Most
of these could relinquish at this
time at a profit.
Even on the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject in Nevada, where conditions
have been as unfavorable as any
could be, the reports show few de-
linquicies. On the Okanogan and

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Presi-
dent Taft's railroad legislation will
be emasculated. At the close of
a protracted conference the leading
regulars and republican senators
tonight are in an apparent revolt
in the senate, while the ''insur-
gents" have been virtually success
full and sections of the bill rela-
tive to tarffic agreements and mer-
gers, which Cummins and other in
surgents have been fighting for
amending, will be amended. Prac-
tically nothing distinctive of the
original bill will remian, save Sec
tions providing for the creation of
court of commerce. Even that
had perilous time in the house
and nobody tonight has prepared a
guarantee that it will be enacted.
In fact, the differences between tn,
senate and the house are so great
that 1t would surprise nobody if
the entire bill should fail at the
conference. 80 serious became the
situation of the bill late toaday
that President Taft himself at
Pittsburg was advised of the situa'
tion over the telephone by AID
rich.
Despairing of putting the bill
through the senate as reported from
the committee, the interstate COM
merce leaders at this conference to-
night decided to eliminate section

tically would have repealed the

PITTSBURG, May 2.-President
Taft ended his two days stay at

to farm, however, are making good.
The crops produced on the ir-
rigated lands operated by the water
systems of the government in 1903,
had an estimated value of $14, ,000,-

not less than $1O5, 100000 as the
result of the construction of the
