 MT. Taft's Emphatic Reply
 Upon the insurgents the adminlstra-. tion will endeavor to place fhe re- sponsibility for the failure of the Taft railroad legislation. To Senator Ald- rich over the telephone, MT Taft is said to have expressed himself em- phatically to this effect:
 That he initiated tho measure and advocated it throughout the country i'm the form in which it was reported to the senate, and that if a combination Of insurgent republicans and demo- crats rendered it impossible for the republican majority to enact the bill he felt that the administration should be relieved of responsibility for It's defeat. He placed the entire matter in the hands of Senator Aldrich and his republican associates. who were then in conference.
 In the conference were Senators Ald- rich, Elkins, Carter, Kean, Crane Root Curtis, Flint, Brandegee, Lodge and from time to time others of the re- publican leaders.
 New Plans Making to Beat Insurgents
 Although admittedly estopped from passing the bill in the form in which they wish, the administration senators at once began forming plans by which to take away from the "insurgent republicans the chance of obtaining a clean cut victory. They even wore an air of Jubllation tonight over the prospect of putting the "insurgentn" amendment to the traffic agreement section, which will be the first mat ter voted upon when the bill is again taken up. probably tomorrow.

TRIAL OF F. A. HEINzE.
The Name of Convict Banker Morse
 Brought In.

New York, May 2.-The name of Charles w. Morse, now serving a fif- teen year sentence in the federal pris- on at Atlanta, Ga, for violation of the banking laws, was brought into the trial of F. Augustus Heinze today by Otto Heinze, a brother of the defend ant, as being partly responsible for one of the big loans made by the Mer- cantile National bank while Heinze was the. president 4 in 1907. It is through these loans that the govern ment hopes to convict Heinzf on a charge sf n1isapplication of funds and oVercertification.
 Otto Heinze said that when he ap- piled to his brother for a loan of be- tween $40O.000 and $50O.000 he was re- ferred to Morse, who. acting for the National Bank of North America, agreed to take half of it.
 Both the prosecution and the defense scored and lost on rulings by Judge Hough during the day.
 The government wound up its exam ination of Otto Heinze today after forcing admissions that in 1907 Arthur P. Heinze, another brother, was oper- ating a syndicate to purchase United Copper common stock. Only one ques- ton was asked the witness by Heinze's attorney on cross examinations:
 Did F. Augustus Heinze have a single dollar invested in the firm of Otto Heinze & company"
 He did not" was the answer.

 At the close of a protracted confer ence of leading regular" republican senators tonight, it was apparent that the revolt of the senate insurgents" had been virtually successful, and that the sections of the bill relative to traf- fic agreements and mergers, which Senator Cummins and other "insurg- ents" have been fighting to amend. will be abandoned.
 Nothing Distinctive of Original Bill
 Remains.
 Practically nothing distiIctive of the original bill will remain, save the sec tions providing for the creation of Fl court of commerce.. Even that has had a periIouS time in the house and nobody tonight is prepared to guaran- tee that it will be enacted.
 In fact. the differences between the senate and house are so great that, in view of the radical action conducted by senate leaders tonight, it would surprise nobody if the entire bill failed in conference.
 President Taft Advised by Long Dis
 tance Phone.
 So serious did the status of tht bill become late tonight that President Taft himself. at Pittsburg. was ad vised of the situation over the long distance telephone by Senator Aldrfch.
 Despairing of putting the bill through the senate in the form in which it was reported from the com mittee on interstate commerce, the leaders in this conference decided to- night to eliminate section 2, which the insurgents" claim practically would have eliminated the Sherman anti trust law by permitting traffic agree ments. and section 12. which would
