QUESTION ON PAIR
SERIOUS In SENATE
Dillingham; Withdraws Vote
Oh an Amendments

While roll call was in progress over
amendments 20 the railroad bill in the
Senate yesterday a serious question arose
concerning the Interpretation Of the pair
between Senator Tillman. Of South Caro-
lima, and Senator Dillingham;. Of Vermont
When Mr. D!lingham's name was called
he responded with a statement announc-
ing his pair. but saying that the pair
held good only as TO the bill. and that
under the arrangement he was free 10
vote on all pending amendments There
upon he voted In opposition TO the Cum
Minis amendment. Senator Bacon, OF
Georgia, SAID that at the conclusion OF
roll call and before the result was an
nounced he intended 10 make an explana-
tion concerning the pair. and intimated
that Senator Dillingham; was not privi-
legged 10 vote.
The question came up at the conclusion
Of the roll call Senator Smith. Of South
Carolina, colleague Of Mr.. THlmau. read
telegram received from the Senator. I'm
which Mr. Tilman explained that he was
paired with Senator Dillingham; on the
bAAl anu aAl AAAfiliAAlAEilAcH II appeared
from the explanation that the pair had
been arranged on behalf Of Senator Till
man by his friend James NJ. Baker, as
sistant librarian Of the Senate
It was evident that there had been a
misunderstanding, and It was manifest
also that the Democrats were not willing
that Senator Dillingham; should vote. FL
nally Senator Dillingham; withdrew his
vote.
The demand of Senator Clay, for the
annQSncement of the pairs and the call
ing % the names for absent Senators
who were not paired, was declared 10
be unusual in the Senate. IN the House
the pairs are announced after each roll
call and the names Of the members alb
sent are not paired.
It was recalled that the last occasion
on which a demand was made for an
nouncement OF pairs in the Senate. Vice
President Fairbanks. who was presiding,
refused the request, stating that pairs
in the Senate were arrangements be-
tween Senators. of which the chair was
not presumed to have knowledge.

elassifcations. &C. furnished the test.
The Senate Committee on Interstate
Commerce accepted an amendment by
Senator Crawford OF South Dakota
Senator Cummins proposed an amend
ment requiring the railroads, when they
file agreements with the Interstate Com
merce Commission under the power given
them I'm the bin. to file at the same time
a statement Of rates and classidcauons
The effect Of Senator Cummins' amend
ment. as understood, is TO give 10 the
Interstate Commerce Commission the
power to approve rates before they go
into effect Under the bill, as amended
by Mr.. Crawford. the commission may
receive the copy OF the agreement and
act upon II. but has no power to inquire
into rates or classihcations made pursuant
10 the agreement until after they had
been put into effect by the railroad
Strength Fairly Compared.
The vote yesterday has been looked for
ward to as affording perhaps the falrest
test Of strength between the proponents
and the opponents OF the bill For DAYS
It had been realized on both sides that
the vote would be very close on the Cum
minis amendment. The Republican lead
ers were confident, and tlpere was a story
ahoat that they had been led 10 believe
they could rely on the votes OF five Demo-
cratic Senator's if they needed them.
After the vote was announced. an un-
usual thing happened in Senate procedure.
Senator Clay, OF Georgia. demanded that
the names Of the Senators paired be read
from the desk, and also the names OF
Senators who were absent without being
paired. The pairs. when read. disclosed
nothing significant. as in each case
Democrat was paired with a Republican.
Some question was raised about the an
noTnccment that Senator Flint. who was
paired With a Democratic Senator. would
hav& voted for the Cummins amendment
had been present. But when Senator

Europe Awards AbstaIners.

Total abstinence continues to make
astonishing headway in Europe. In
a resume of articles on the alcohol
question that have appeared recently
in German, DIR. Erich Flade of Dres
den mentions (Hygienische Rund-
schau) the growing recognition among
those interested in athletics of the un
suitability of alcoholic drinks in train
ing for special efficiency.
The nature of alcohol itself he re-
CARDS as sufficient to show what a
hindrance it is in training for physical
efficiency and endurance, and COM
parison of abstaining and nonabstain-
ing athletes furnish incontestible
proof. For example, in the Keil 62-
mile walking match in 1908, although
the abstainers constituted only 29 per
cent. of the contestants, they won 60
per cent. of the prizes and first
places, and only two men out of the
80 who failed to make the goal were
abstainers.

His Real CalIlnu,

There is writer in New York who
has achieved little success, but who,
being amply supplied with worldly
goods, refuses to be discouraged. So
he keeps turning out books the merits
of which he earnestly attests by word
of mouth and heavy purchases from
the publishers. He is a long time
friend of Simeon Ford, boniface, wit
and philosopher. That Mr.. Ford is
the only one who ever read all of his
friends books probably furnishes a
reason why the attentuated hotel man
is one of the most solemn looking of
humans.
They were ut dinner recently when
the author said: "Sim, you've been
awfully kind to me-you are my real
audience, for you've suffered like a
friend and read all I have written.
Sometimes I think that have made a
great mistake and I am not really an
author after all"
II think you're right" assented Mr..
Ford. You're a born chemist"
"How's that?" suspiciously asked
the author.
WELL" remarked Simeon. every
book you write becomes drug on the
market"
