4 VOTE WAS IMMINENT
When Gum Shoe Bill An nounced That He Had a Speech to Make and De- clined to Forego His Or atorical Effort

Washington. May S1.-on the eve of leaving for Iowa. for the purpose of participating in the campaign in that state, he informed the senate
 that as amended. the railroad bill
 would receive his vote as it would
 also the vses of the progressive re-
 publicans, who have stood with him
 in opposition to the bill as it was
 prepared by the attorney general and
 introduced by Senator Elkins.
 This statement was made during a
 brief speech delivered by NIT. Cum mings in support of an amendment placing upon railroad companies the burden of proof in hearings on rate increases. This amendment was ac- cepted by Senator Elkins and became part of the bill by general consent, thus constituting the only amendment presented by the Iowa senator that has been accepted by the senate.
 MT. Cummings said that while the bill left much undone. he considered it a step forward and with the ex- ception of the court of commerce sec tions. was in every way desirable. He felicitated himself and his asso- ciates especially upon the expurga- tion of sections and 12. dealing with traffic agreements and mergers The first Of these he characterized as a reproach and the second as a curiosity.
 He closed with the following state fn commend what we thought to be right as we have been to denounce what we believed to be wrong"
 Aside from the adoption of the Cummings provision, the action of the day consisted in the rejection of Senator Browns amendment prohib- iting the consolidation of competing railroads.
 The principal discussion of the day was over the Brown amendment. and on Senator LaFollette's amendment requiring the interstate commerce commission to make a physical val uation on railroads.
 MT. LaFollette supported his phy- sical valuation amendment in a long speech. He said that such a valua- ton was absolutely necessary as a basis for the fixing of rates When late in the day. it looked as if it would be possible to obtain a vote On this amendment Senator Stone took the floor with the intention of delivering a set speech on another which he said he would introduce. He refused to yield the floor for a vote. The senate will meet at II o'clock tomorrow.

CHARGE OF MISBRAhONG
 IS PERMITTED ID STAND
Court Ruling in the BIeaehed Flour
 Case.

Kansas City. May 31-Federal Judge Smith McPherson here today overruled the motion of the defense in the bleached flour case to strike out that part of the governments petition, charging misbranding. The court then suggested that the case be heard by a special master instead of by a jury. The average layman, said the judge. would be unable to grasp all of the in trieate features of the case which in- volved the bleaching of flour by cleo trlcity.
 Attorneys for the millers objected strenuously to the courts plan. Judge McPherson called attention to the fact that at former hearing of the case the defense insisted that the evidence be heard by a master. But in order that attorneys might have time to dis cuss the point of contention, court was adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.

COMMISSION SUSTAINED
 BY 4 DIVIDED COURT
IN MISSOURI RIVER AND DENVER
 CASES
A Decision On Which the Existence
 of Through Rates Depended

Washington, May 31.-By a decision of four to three. the supreme court of the United States today decided that the interstate commerce com mission has not exceeded it's power in ordering a reduction of freight rates in sO-called Missiouri river rates cases, and in the Denver case. These orders are now held valid.
 The Missouri river rate cases were based on an orGer Of the commission reducing freight rate between the Mississippi and Missouri rivers as a part of through shipments originating in seaboard territory
 The Denver rate case was based on order reducing rates on through freight from Chicago and from St. Louis to Denver. In both cases cer- tain railroads and the shippers con- cerned. claimed that the commission was endeavoring to divide the coun- try into rate zones. The circuit court for the northern district of Illinois decided that the contention was correct
 The supreme court of the United States in decision announced by Justice McKenna, announced that it believed the commission was not at tempting to exercise such a power and that. the. record showed no evi- dence that such was being done. Hence it reversed the decision of the district court in. both cases.
 The cases have received the great est attention during the two years they have been the subject of litiga- ton. The government cOntended that the very existence of through rates was at stake.

FLIGHT PLANNED
 NEW YORK ST. LOUIS.

New York, May 31.-Thirty , thousand dollars was offered to- night to the first aviator who flies in an aeroplane from New York to St. Louis or from St. Louis to New York. Mayor Gaynor announced the prize at the Hotel Astor tonight, where Glenn H. Curtiss, who on Sun day made a flight from Albany to Governors Island, was the guest of the New York World, whose s10,00O award he won
 The prize is offered by the New York World and St. Louis Post Dispatch. Conditions gov erning the flight will be an- nounced after a conference with aeronautic experts. A distin- guished company gathered to meet the young aviator tonight. At the table the modest Curtiss sat between the mayor and Bri- gadier General Howe. U. s. A. in command of the department of the east.
 A flood of congratulations by cable and telegraph was read, among them. messages from Ble- riot. the French aviator, and the Aero Club of France. Curtiss was enthusiastic over the new offer. but in the absence os,de- tails as to stops allowed and other conditions he would not say definitely whether he would enter or not.
 Charles K. Hamilton. however, quickly said he would he a con- testant. He had planned to en- ter the New Albany race, but Curtiss was too quick for him. It is probable that ten days will be allowed for the flight and that it will be stipu- lated to take place before Oc- tober 31 next
 This makes two great aviation contests now under considera- ton.

Big Shipyards Viii! Contest for
BattIeship Contract.
ONE GOES TO NAVY YARD
Provision in Latest Naval Appropria-
ton Bill Means That Bidding VIII
be Close Between "5Is Four Of the
Atlantic Coast.

Owing 10 the fact that only one OF
the two mammoth battleships au-
thorized by this congress can be built
in private yards, some spirited bid
ding is anticipated when the navy
department calls for estimate on the
ship. The big Four" OF the Atlantic
coast. the Newport News Shipbiuld-
ing & Dry Dock Company. the VIII
liam Cramp & Sons Ship e. Engine
Building Company, the New York
Shipbuilding Company and the Fore
River Ship 4 Engine Building Com
pany will be In the running for the
one ship and no doubt rock bottom
prices will be given by each com
pany.
II has been four years since the
local yard landed a battleship con-
tract and local people think that it's
about time for luck to change. At any
rate they are hoping that this yard
will outbid its three rivals and land
the plum. The New York Shipbuild-
ing Company now has two battleshirs
for the United States navy and one
for the Argentine navy under con-
struction. while the Cramp yard is
building one "dreadnaught" for the
navy. The Fore river plant is build
ing one battleship for Argentina. All
OF these yards as well as the local
yards are building torpedo boat
destroyers for the United States
navy.
Besides the contract for the one
battleship. the navy department VIII
let the contract for two big fieet col
Iiers to cost s1,O00.000 each and for
five or six torpedo boat destroyers to
cost 100000 each. The local yard Will
be In the running for all of these yes
sells and the officials naturally expect
TO land some of the contracts.
The second OF the two big battle.
ships must be built in a navy yara
and the Brooklyn and Norfolk yards
will have a pretty fight for the con
tract with the odds in favor OF tns
