ment Observation-Disclosures and
Eleven Republicans Vote Together.
(By Associated Prese.)


WASHINGTON, ID. c., April %
BY the decisive vote of 80 to 29 and
in the midst of intense excitement,
the administration Republicans to-
day defeated the Cummins substitute
for the Crawford Elkins traffic agree
ment provision of the railroad bill.
This question had practically monopo-
lized the attention of the senate for
the past week and was regarded as
one of the most important sub-di-
vision of the pending bill.
Taken as Forecast
The vote is generally accepted as a
test of the strength of the contend
ing sides respectively and it is be-
lieved that 1t presages the passage of
the bill by a safe majority. or the
total membership of 80, there were 90
senator's who did not vote. and Of
these. four were absent without be-
ing paired. and all of these were
Democrats. Only eighteen Democrat
ic votes were cast and these. togeth-
er with eleyen Republicans, who voted
Tor the Cummins substitute. consti-
tuted the entire affirmative vote.
Immediately after the result was
announced Senator Cummins, whose
provisions had been voted down. gave
notice OF another amendment intend
cd to accomplish the same purpose.
There is a general understanding
that voting will be resumed tomor-
row.
The voting stage was not reached
until late in the day.
Warning by LsFoIiette-
Senator LaFollette. in a speech.
made a plea against the annulment OF
the Sherman antitrust law as appii-
cable to the railroads. withou; supply
