minis Amendment Tomorrow--House
Leaders say conferees VIII Have
Trouble over Long and Short Haul
Clause insurgents Hopeful.
Washington, May 23.-The indica-
tions are that the administration rail-
way bill will be in the hands OF the
conference committee by the latter
part OF the week. 1t will be passed
In the senate Thursday or Friday un-
less further obstacles are placed In
it's way ty the insurgents. Debate
on the bill will be resumed tomor-
row. The Cummins amendment pro.
viding that increased rates shall not
become effective until approved by
the interDtate commerce commission,
Is the principal matter in controversy
now. II will be debated for day
or two. The lines are closely drawn
on the Cummins amendment and 1t
will be beaten or adopted by mar
row margin. The insurgents express
the belief that the amendment will
be incorporated In the bill.
All signs point to prolonged con-
troversy IN conference over the rail-
road bill. The long and short haul
clause AMI the sections Of the house
bill relating to capitalization will ex-
cite a great deal Of controversy.
While It has not yet been determined
whether the senate shall retain in
the bill pending in that body the sec.
tions bearing on capitalization, this
subject will come up In conference
inasmuch as the house bill contains
features along this line.
House leaders expect that the con.
ference will have more trouble over
the long and short haul clause than
any other features of the administra-
tion bill. The house adopted the
Mann long and short haul clause by
an overwhelming majority. This
clause has teeth In 1t. and is particu.
larly Objectionable to the railroads
and shippers at terminals. inasmuch
as It prohibits a greater charge for a
short than for a long haul under any
circumstances.
According to statements made by
insurgents every Republican senator
will vote for the administration rail
road bill when 1t is put on Its final
passage.

bert 0. Roesch. of Oregon, champion in
dividual rife shot of the country, as
shown by his victories at the national
matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, last year,
is in trouble, and his diploma of gradua-

alleged that Roesch unpired a pie-eat-

fourth class. The alleged hazing took
place at the table over which Roesch
presided, and the recommendations of
Superintendent Bowyer in the matter are
still being considered at the Navy De
partment.
In the mean time Roesch is confined
to the limits of the Naval Academy
grounds The incident partook SO much
of the nature of some of the old hazing

WOMEN SEIZE BALLOTS
Throopsville Suffragettes Insist
Upon Electing a School Trustee.


Auburn, N. Y. Aug. 3.-The liveliest
school election in the history of Cayuga
County took place to-day, thanks TO the
appearance of the suffrage enthusiasts.
and old line politicians are willing to adj
nit tonight that Tammsny Hall will
have to go some to duplicate the tech
niuue displayed by the women in carry
ing an election.
There were two candidates for trustee
in Throopsville. where the women voters
had been displaying great activity.
Their candidate was Mrs. Fred Nc
Carly. and the men meekly put up John
Tavener. The men made pretense of
having no interest in the contest until
the closing hour of the polls. Then they
dropped their chores and f1ocked to the
schoolhouse, and ballot followed ballot
for Tavener. The women, apprehensive
of victory for their opponent, regarded
the male method of voting in punches as
impolite and illegal, and before the
amazed officials could learn their pur-
pose they swooped upon the ballot box.
and dipping their hands into 1t seized
some of the ballots. supposedly of the
Tayener variety.
Chairman George Cooper endeavored
to preserve order. but he was swept
aside. He sent for constable and or
dered a new election. This was held.
and the women declared Mrs McCarty
elected with pc votes TO j. for Tavener.
They were celebrating their victory,
when ballots alleged to have been taken
from the box were found in the stove,
and the Tavener forces at once placed
them in a safe. and will appeal to Com
missioner Murphy. of the LIST Cayuga
District for a recount.

GREAT HAMBURG STRIKE
Eight Thousand Mechanics to
Quit Shipyards To day.

Hamburg, Aug, Eight thousand
shipyard mechanics have decided to go

the rejection of their demands by the
shipbuilding companies. Thirty-fiv
