Supposedly Irreconcilable Factions Suddenly
Welded Late Yesterday Afternoon
COMPROMISE AMENDMENT ADOPTED
By Senate Sc 10 for Regulation of Relative
Charges for Long and Short Haus-Supreme Court
May Yet Have to Arbitrate the Observation-Disclosures
Voted for the amendment and Eulkeey Against 1t
Regular Republicans Upbraided for Change of Front

Washington May 1S.-By sudden
welding late today of supposedly ire
concila BILE factions. the senate by a
vote of 56 to 10 adopted a compromise
amendment to the railroad bill for the
regulation of relative charges for long
and short hauls.
Why the Agreement Was Reached
The agreement was reached chiefly
for the reason that each faction appdr-
entity thought it was getting the better
of a shrewdly driven bargain There
are not wanting tonight senators who
suggest that the supreme court may
have to arbitrate the question as to
which factions judgment is right.
Upbraided for Changing Front.
Before adjournment Senator Bacon
sought to show that Senator Aldrich.
the leader of the forces in charge of
the bill voted for a provision different
from that which he advocated dur
ing the long debate on this question
He was Affecting to quote from one or
the Rhode Island senator's speeches.
when Senator Bailey interrupted, re-
marking that Senator Bacon was mis-
taken and was quoting from his (Bai-
ley'sl remarks.
II hope the senator from Texas will

not interfere. said Mr.. Aldrich laugh
ingly. "The senator is trying to justi-
fly his action in voting with me-
"That is the time usually have to
justify my VOTE retorted Mr.. Bacon.
While upbraiding regular republic
cans for what he asserted was a
change of front, Mr.. Bacon was inter-
rupted by Senator Elkine, whose ruddy
face was wreathed in smiles as he
asked: "Well, you're happy: aren'
you? %
This raillery plainly irritated the
Georgia senator, for he retorted rather
sharply that it took "a very little thing
to make some people happy"
Significant Chances Pass.
Maybe the senator will find that it
is a big thing" said Senator Elkins,
beaming across the chamber. Sfgnifi-
cant chances passed between senators,
and persons on the floor and in the
galleries began to suspect the CONF
promise amendment that had just been
adopted meant something different
than appeared upon its surface. Among
those who voted for the amendment
was Senator Brandegee of Connccti-
cut, and one of those voting against it
was Senator Bulkeley, also of Con-
necticut.
