A Strange Combination
Leads to Undoing of
Senate Regulars.
CHANGE IN RAIL BILL
Long and Short Haul Provision
AItered-Both Sides Think
They Are ViCtors.

Washington, May 14.-Tne adoption
by the senate late yesterday afternoon
of the long and short haul amendment
to the railroad bill will result, It is
believed. in Fastening final vote on
the measure. An effort is now being
made to reach an agreement between
the factions for the shortening of de-
bate on the undisposed of sections.
Some Doubt as TO Meaning.
There seems TO be some doubt as 70
the exact meaning of the composite
amendment adopted. and the lack OF
confidence in the effectiveness of the
provision is not minimized by the sat
isfaction evidenced by the senators
who opposed the adoption of any
change in the present law.
Aldrich and Crane visited the White
house, and when they came away they
asserted that President Taft was con-
tent with the Dixon-Paynter provision.
Both Think They Win.
Washington, May 14.-By a sud
den welding late yesterday of sup
posedly irreconcilable factions, the
senate, by a vote of Sc to 10, adopt
ed the compromise amendment of the
railroad bill for the regulations rela-
tive to the charges for long and short
hauls. OF the Sc votes in favor of
an amendment % were given by the
republican senators who have op-
posed the insertion of any long-and-
short-haul-provisloHc 18 blythe DEM
oerets end-the-renaainder bythe re-

negative vote was equally divided
between the republicans and demo-
Gratis. The agreement was reached
chiefly for the reason that each fac
tion apparently thought that it was
getting the better of a shrewdly driv-
en- bargain. Many senators now sug-
gest that the supreme court may
have to arbitrate the question as to
which factions judgment is right.
Badly Mixed Indeed
Before adjournment Senator Bacon
sought to show that Senator Aldrich,
leader of the forces in charge OF the
bill, had voted for provision different
from that which he had advocated dur
ing the long debate on this question
Senator Bailey remarked that Mr..
Bacon was mistaken and was quoting
from his (Bailey's) remarks.

To END CROSSINGS
Task That Illinois Railroad and
Warehouse Commission
Has Begun.
REFORM TO BE GRADUAL
Aid Given, Strangely Enough. by
Some of the Larger Transpor-
tation Companies.

Springfield, May 1.-THE aboli-
ton of grade crossings in Illinois is
task to which the state railroad and
warehouse commission is now devot-
ing its attention.
Singularly enough the steam rail-
roads are giving the board support
20 limited extent. Those roads al
ready in operation are raising ser.
irus objections to the crossing of new
roads at grade with them.
To this extent the commission has
support in its efforts to compel new
crossings to be separated.
The only railroad construction now
in progress in this state is that of
electric interurhans. They make fire.
qrent intersections with h-steam roads
and naturally are desirous of max
ing crossing with as little expense
as possible.
Law is Indefinite.
Many of these crossings are asked
for within the limits of municipali-
ties and it is here that the board is
meeting with the greatest obstacle
because of the indeGniteness of the
law covering it's authority over cross
ings within the bounds of cities.
The board assumes that under
recently enacted law, it has authority
and Jurisdiction over all railroad
crossings, no matter where they may
be located but a case disputing this
authority is now pending in the su-
preme court from southern Illinois.
The board expected a decision at the
last April term as the case has been
hanging fire for several months.
The policy of the board is to COM
pei separation in the case of every
new crossing.
Work for Gradual Reform.
Gradually the commission hopes to
bring about separation by joint vol
untary action of railroads at the most
dangerous points. In the next gen.
eral assembly the board will again
propose a law similar to that in New
York, where the commission enjoys
absolute power and where a system
attic and fixed policy has been in ef-
feet for some years resulting in the
almost complete disappearance of

Henri Dunant was OF Swiss birth and

June a, 1859 he witnessed the needless SUI

of neglect TO care for the wounded. Real
izing that such conditions need not exist
he conceived the idea OF pedging the nations
to regard and protect as neutral, all sick
and wounded combatants, and all persons
giving them succor.
He elaborated his ideas and through the
cooperation OF the Swiss federal council
brought about an international conference
at Geneva In October 1865. Sixteen gov
ernments were represented This was fol-
lowed by the Geneva convention OF Au-
gust S, 1864, which adopted nine articles OF
agreement. FOR the amelioratOn Of the
