Senate Defeats Cumrnins
Railroad Bill Amendment.
Vote Is So TO 29, Taken Amid
Much Excitement.
cummins Announces That Ne Has
Another Ready to Introduce.

Washington, April 29.-By the decis-
i've vote OF 81 to 20 and amid intense
excitement, the ADMINISTRATION Repub-
licans today defeated the Cummins
substitute for the Crawford Elkins
traffic agreement provision of the rail-
road bill. This question had practical
ly monopoliZed the attention OF the
Senate for the past week and was re-
garded as one of the most important
subdivisions of the pending Dill. Inc
vote is generally accepted as test
of the strength of the contend1ng sides
respectively and it is believed that 1t
presages the passage of the bill by q
safe majority. The vote was not a
large one and represented only little
m,re than two-thirds of the Senate
membership. OF the total member
shin of 90, there were % senator's who
did not vote and of these four were
absent without being paired, and all
of these were Democrats. They were
Clarke of Arkansas, Bankhead of Ala
bama. McEnery of Louisiana and
Smith of Maryland.
All of the Democrats present cast
their votes in favor of the Cummins
provision, so that if the Democratic
senators who were absent and impaired
had been present and had voted for the
amendment, the ballot in its favor
would have been increased to 80, still
less by two votes than the vote against
the provision. Only IS Democratic
votes were cast. and these with those
Of II Republicans, who voted for the
Cummins substitute, constituted the
entire affirmative vote. Senator Frye
voted with the nays Senator Hale was
paired with Senator Newlands. New
lands favored the amendment and Hale
opposed it.
Immediately after the resolution was
announced, Senator Cummins, whose
proposition had been voted down, gave
notice Of another amendment intended
to accomplish the same purpose. He
had said of his substitute that it would
specifically require the approval by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
of all rates under traffic agreements in
advance Of their taking effect but his
substitute covered all phases Of the
question. BY the amendment present.
