Opposition to the Mea.ura Grows Stronger As Sena'e
 Studies It's Provisions
CUMMINS MAKES SHARP
 ATTACK UPON TIE BILL
Iowa Senator Declares That He Will Oppose the Proposed Legislation Even If He Should Re Read
 Out of inc Party.
BY wATTEnsoN sTEALEy.

R Washington, March l5.--(Special)- 4Nith the opening of the railroad debate ! In the Senate this afternoon it became evident that the policies advocated by the administration in the EllSins-Town ! send bill will encounter vigorous opposi- i. tion in Congress.
 Developments at both ends of the cap- itol were decidedly unfavorable toward the plans of Senator Hale and Aldrich to put the administration bill trough as speedily as possible and with the fewest number of amendments consistent with the success of their programme. The House committee on interstate commerce, which has been changing the bill by amendment so that President Taft would now scarcely be able to recognize many of it's most important sections, today slapped a dozen vital amendments upon the measure Other amendments will be added before the House committee re- ports the bill and the draft as received from the President will be emasculated almost beyond recognition.
 It has been generally understood that Senator Aldrieh who promised to support
 
 it tn nugh in the form in which 1t was finally revised by the Attorney General, and tha. the plan is to hold down amend ments in the Senate. This programme has aroused bitter opposition from the republican progressives, and insurgents and other republican senators and rep resentxgives gre manisesting signs of in sursency against the attempt to rail road'' the bill through Congress.
 So strong has this opposition become that it has attracted serious attention at the White House, and through Senator Jones or Washington President Taft al lowed it to be known this afternoon that he is willing to have reasonable amend ments of the administration measure eff fected in Congress. The history of the evolution of the measure as given by Senator Cummins in his opening speech today made strong impression upon many senators, especially the virtual charge that the bill as it stands today had been changed by the Attorney Gen eral so as to satisfy the railroads of the country.

prices, and even the soil that has
been left idle and as waste land is
now taken up and cultivated and
bearing fruit.

been adopted by our planters and
the best results have been their
reward. What better record could

What was the girl doing out there
in mid-lake in the company of her
enemy? Orme had seen her enter the
house of her friends in Evanston; had
hidden her goodnight with the I'M

further move in the game before the
coming morning. She must have left
the house soon after he walked away.

that were the case, her action indi-
Gated a new and unsupported distrust
of Orme himself. Her failure to call
for help when Orme and Porter came
up in their launch seemed to show
that her presence in the other boat
was voluntary. And yet Orme could
not believe that there was not some
simple explanation which she would
welcome the first chance to make. He
could not doubt her.
The immediate thing to do, how
ever, was to find out just what she de-
sired Suppressing his excitement,
he called out:
Girl"
At the same time he turned the Ian
tern so that his own face was H.
Illuminated.

her seat. You here?"

ahead
Presently they both saw a spot of
blacker blackness in the night. Por-

asked Orme in an undertone.
Eyes, in that locker"
Orme stopped and lighted the Ian
tern in the shelter of the locker.
Now run up alongside" he said,

The outline of the disabled boat
now grew more distinct. Porter
swung around toward it and called:
Need help?"
After a moments wait, a voice re-
piled:
YES. You tow me to Chicago

1t was a voice which Orme recog-
inzed as that of the Japanese who
had been with Maku in the attack
at the Pere Marquette,
Cant do that" answered Porter.

SYNOPSIS.

At the expense OF a soiled hat Robert
'Orne saves from arrest a girl i'm a black

Orme refuses, and a fight ensues In
which Poritol is overcome He calls in
try, TO vouch for him. Orme still refuses
to give up the bill Orme goes for a walk
and sees two Japs attack Alcatran:e. He
rescues him. Returning to his rooms
Orme is attacked by two Japs who eff
feet a forcible exchange of the marked
bill for another. Orme finds the girl of
the black car waiting for him. She also
wants the bill. Orme tells his story. She
recognizes one of the Japs as her fathers
butler, Maku. The second inscription on
the bill is the key TO the hiding place of
important papers stolen from her father.
Both Japs and South Americans want the
papers. Orme and the Girl start out in
the black car In quest of the papers. In
the university grounds in Evanston the
hiding place is located. Maku and an
other Jap are there. Orme fells Maku
and the other Jap escapes. Orme finds In
Makus pocket a folded slip of paper. He
takes the girl, whose name is still un-
known to him. TO the home of a friend in
Evanston. Returning TO the university
grounds Orme gets in conversation with a

ness on the lake.

81 know why he went out so far"
without lights"
"That in itself is suspicious, isn't
it," Orme asked.
why, yes, suppose so-though
people aren't always as careful as
they might be. Our own lights aren't
lighted, you see"
Have you any clue at all as to
where she is?"
"Only from the direction the
sounds came from just before the eX-
plosions stopped. She had Roadway
enough to slide some distance after
that, and I'm allowing for it-and for
the currents. With the lake as it is,
she would be carried in little"
For nearly half an hour they contin-
ued straight out toward mid-lake.
Orme noticed that there was a slight
swell. The lights of Evanston were
now mere twsnkling distant points,
far away over the dark void of the
waters.
Porter shut off the power. I'VE
must be pretty near her" he said.
They listened intently.
Perhaps / steered too far SOUTH"
said Porter at last.
He threw on the power, and sent
the boat northward in slow, wide
circles. The distant steamship had
made progress toward, the northeast
bound, perhaps, for Muskegon, or
some other port on the Michigan
shore. She was a passenger steam
er, apparently, for lines of portfolios
and deck-windows were marked by
dots of light There was no other
sign of human presence to be seen on
the lake. and Orme's glance ex-
pectantly wandered to her lights now
and then.
At last, while he was looking at it,,
after a fruitless search of the dark
ness, ne was startled by a strange
phenomenon. The lights of the
steamer suddenly disappeared. An
instant later they shone out again.

Slowly the lights of shore grew
brighter. After a time Orme could
distinguish the masses of trees and
buildings. grayly Illuminated by the
arc lamps of the streets. He spoke
to Porter in on undertone.
Can you land us some distance
south of the life-saving station?" he
asked
Sure. I'll run in by the Davis

sighed. Il made a bad mess of it..

"Oh, l don't know" replied the life

Orme started. Yes" he said, I'VE
got the lady-and that's more i'm
portrait than all the rest of IT,"
Porter grinned a noncommittal grin
and devoted himself to the wheel.
They had saved the girl, In his
disappointment over the escape of the
Japanese Orme had forgotten, but
now he silently thanked God that Por-
ter and he had come out on the water
The girl had not yet explained her
presence in the boat. In her own
good time she would tell him. But
she had been there under compulsion;
and Orme shuddered to think what
might have happened.
He stole a glance at her She was
leaning back on the seat. Her eyes
were closed and her pose indicated
complete relaxation, though it was
evident from her breathing that she
was not asleep. Orme marveled at
her ability to push the nervous ex-
element Of the evening away and
snatch the brief chance of rest.
When at last the launch ran up
under the end of little breakwater
near the Davis street pier, she arose
quickly and sprang out of the boat
without help. Then she turned, as
OTme stepped up beside her, and
spoke to Porter. IF you and Mr.
Orme had not come after me" she
said, there's no telling whether
should ever have got back l should
like to shake hands with you" she
added; and bending down, she held
out her firm white hand
Then Orme laid his hand on the

said
