RAILROAD BILL
TAKES THE FRONT
Cummins Amendment Is the
Pending Question Now Be-
fore the Senate

Washington. May 24-The admins
tration railroad bill. which was side
tracked for two days by the naval ap-
preparation bill, came up again for
consideration when the senate con-
vened today. The pending amend
ment is that offered by Senator Cum
minis, which would require that any
changes Of rates made by railroads
which involve. increases should not
go into effect until they had been ap-
proved by the interstate commerce
commission.
The contest over this question has
been before the senate in various
forms during the entire discussion of
the bill. A vote was prevented at one
time by striking out section seven, as
originally reported from the commit
tee on interstate commerce, which
section related to traffic agreements
and was designed to permit railroads
to make poolin agreements. From
present indications 1t does not appear
that a vote can be avoided on the
pending Cummins provision.
1t is quite likely that practically
all of the Democrats will support the
Cummins provision. but the regular
Republicans express confidence In
their ability to defeat 1t. II they sue
ceed 1t means that they have rallied
the Republican majority for which
they have striven for several weeks.
1t is conceded that the vote will be
close.

ed that when boy is offered a base
ball ticket, he will shun the saloons.
One of the ministers arose and de-
clared that he wouldn't trust his boy
to attend baseball game, for the
very reason that intoxicants were
sold on the baseball grounds. They'll

the minister. Then it is up to you. -

Mayor Seidel suggested that the
ministers cooperate with the school
board in an attempt to have the
school house doors thrown wide open
to the children for social purposes.
One Of the ministers declared there
wasn't any need Of trying to give the
bows good wholesome amusement
when the nickle theaters downtown
catered to their baser passions"
"The thing for US to do then is to
compete with the nickel theaters, re-
piled the mayor. "Have a moving
picture machine right in the school
house."
"As the meeting was about to ad-

Stop Hair From Falling and Improves
the Eyesight.
New York, May 24.-After a fast of
eight days, DR.. Gustav A. Gayer, finds
himself sixteen pounds lighter. but
stronger. he says, clearer in mind:
and with better memory and eye
sight. He will consult an occulist for
an opinion on the improvement of his
eyesight.
The doctor sleeps outdoors and
drinks water freely. He acknowl-
edges that for the first three days. the
smell of cooking drove him out Of
the house, but says that harder still
he found the deprivation Of tobacco.
He used to smoke ten cigars a day.
His hair has stopped falling out and
he thinks it is turning darker.
Throughout the test, the doctor has
continued his daily exercise and his
lectures. He undertook the fast to
study the influence of auto-suggestion
on the body. and Is so pleased with
the results that he says now he will
prolong his fast to fifty days instead
of the thirty days first planned. Ply
sicians will watch him for any dan
gerous impairment Of vitality. and
should such be noted the fast will be

G. A. R. LEADER
IS AGAINST LEE
Opposes Placing Statue in the
Hall Of Fame-Stirs Old
b.. Feeling -

Free Port, ILL.,, May 24.-Inveighing
against the placing Of the statue Of
Gen. Robert d Lee in the hall of
fame In Washington, Col. Jasper T.
Darling, past commander of Oolum-
bia post G.. A. r.. Chicago, last night
addressed the initial camp fire of the
Forty Fourth State encampment of
the Illinois Grand Army of the Re-
public. He compared Robert E. Lee
the Benedict Arnold and prophesied
that acceptance Of the statue of the
confederate leader would be q step
toward pensioning confederate SOL
diers and opening the way to the
federal government assuming the
burden of confederate war bonds.
In part the speaker said:
so long as treason Is considered
a crime against constitutional law.
the statue Of Robert e. Lee can have
no abiding place in that pantheon
dedicated to the heroes of the revolu.
ton and to those whose achievements
hive contributed to the. triumphs Of
this republic"
The main portion of the address
was in support of the contention that
Gen. Lee was not convinced of the
justice Of the cause for which he
drew his sword. and that he. there-
fore. could have no claim to the name
Of patriot. The speaker based his
argument on letter from General
Lee to his son Curtis Lee. the text of
which he obtained from a publication
by a southern historian.
"The words of his letter and his
subsequent acts can not be recon-
ciled." said the speaker. "If his con-
science dictated that letter, then what
accursed influence caused him to em-
brace anarchy Just ninety days;
anarchy as he himself had pictured
it?
What does all this mean? It means
that solid south, the daughters and
sons, propose to make Washington a
Westminster Abbey for the rebel uni
form; and so not only vindicate but
glorify the rebels word.
Then what? Simply another bill
pensioning all confederate soldiers.
And long before this country reaches
its meridian, British bond holders
will knock at liberty's treasury door
and say, redeem

AERONAUT FELL
1000 FEET
Parachute Failed to Work and
Operator Fell-Escaped
With Broken Leg

EllwoQd,. Pa, May 24.-Five thou
sand people watched Oscar Leroy, an
aeronaut, shoot 1000 feet through
space to the ground here this after
noon. His injuries include broken
leg, but his escape from instant death
was miraculous. LeRoy's narrow es--
cape added excitement to the circus
with which he Is connected and big
crowd attended the night perform
ance. While the show was at it's
height the grand stand seats collapsed
carrying $50 men, women and chill
dren down in the debris. No one was
seriously injured. The heavy rain
Leroy is connected with Warren
Brothers circus, which was showing
here today. A balloon ascension was
advertised as one of the free attrac-
tions, and practically the whole town
turned out to see it. Promptly at
o'clock Leroy shouted a command to
cut loose. The big bag shot up at q
tremendous clip, Leroy doing few
fancy stunts on the trapeze. The
balloon reached a height estimated
between 1000 and $500 feet before
Leroy cut away his parachute.
Parachute Fails to Work.
The parachute, soaked by the rains
Of last night and today, failed to work
properly. The folds clung together
and it was soon seen that although
Leroy fell with tremendous velocity
the air did not spread the parachute
as 1t should. He dropped almost a
quarter Of the distance at cannon ball
speed before the device opened, but
the heavy canvas was water soaked,
and with the weight of Leroy it
quickly shot to the ground.
His descent, which was made at an
angle Of less than forty-five degrees,
carried him through maze of smoke
stacks at the Shelby Steel Tube COM
pany's plant, but he escaped these
with only a few inches to spare, and
when nearing the ground missed a
high fence around the plant by only
three feet. When he struck the earth
he broke his left leg and was bruised
about the body, the parachute falling
in heavy folds over him. He was
stunned and would have been suffo-
Gated had not help been at hand to
life the heavy canvas from him.

DICKS VOTE WAS
A BIG SURPRISE
Result of Ohio Primaries Puts
orimp in the Progressive
Plans

Columbus, Ohio, May .24.-Since the
days of Matthew Stanley Quay no pol
ltician combining foresight. acumen
and the courage to put his plans to
the test has developed who exceeds
the MEASURE of Senator Charles Dick
Of Akron, Ohio. Dich has been held
up to the people of the state in the
most ridiculous light for four years.
Another great Ohioan, Marcus A. Han
ma, was popularized by the overdone
cartoon, but Hanna had money and
he had the aid of president who was
his personal as we'll as his political
friends. Charles Dick is q poor man.
To live at all politically he must live
by his wits.
A dozen or more aspirants for Sen
ator Dicks seat are agape and aghast
in Ohio at this moment. Warned
months ago that the way to lick Dick
was to.accept the rules Of the game
as laid down in the primary law and
go out to the polls and lick him. And
the party leaders in the state wanted
that done. They calculated Dick was
a load. They insisted any endorse
ment of a senator was a bad thing be-
cause it would muss up the fight on
the governorship, which was already
in a seriously disordered state. and
they insisted even stronger that If
any endorsement were made 1t ought
not to be Dick.
Hooted and Jeered.
They set about to discredit his can
didacy, but that did not work. They
hooted and jeered when he announc-
ed that he would 60 to the Republi-
cans In every county, at q primary
election. and seek endorsement. They
said he wouldn't get five votes to the
precinct and that the ridiculously low
figure would create general laugh
throughout the state and he would re-
tire to oblivion in great confusion.
Then they got new state chair
man, one whose first duty was to
clear up the situation in Ohio by get
ting Dick to recede from his position
on the matter of senatorial primary
and take his chances with the rest
after the legislature had passed the
Bronson primary law. It had laid
down certain rules of the game. These
rules had not been amended or abro-
gated. He would accept them and
anybody else who wanted to run was
welcome.
The result is that Dick has received
a considerable majority of the votes
at the late primary and is the en-
dorsed candidate of his party to sue
ceed himself as United States senator.
That is the situation at this minute.
Garfield Wants Senatorship.
The primary, however, developed
another important fact Ie developed
that James r. Garfield is not a candi-
date for governor, does not want the
Job and would prefer not to be boost
ed for it. What he does want, how
ever, is the United States senatorship
But he did not go to the people after
It, either. There is healthy Roose-
velt sentiment in Ohio. Garfield was
voted for at the primary. So was
Herrick and so were dozen others
In various parts Of the state. But the
Herrick votes were not the result of
nrearrangement. while there is a sus-
picion that those cast for Garfield
were arranged for in advance. A
movement Of that kind In Columbus
