Senator Cummns Haransues During
an Entire Session But No Vote
Has Been Taken as
Yet.
INSURGENTS BoAsTFUL
Claim to Have Enough Democrats
With Them to Win. But Dem
Gratis Have Refused to
Enter Agreement.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.-In the
senate the Cummins amendment to
the railroad bib came up, requiring
the approval of the interstate COM
merce commission to all increase in
railroad rates before they take eff
feet under consideration throughout
the day, but no vote was reached.
Cummins occupied the floor during
the entire session. There was much
effort to bring about an agreement
among the regular republicans and
democrats whereby the majority vote
On the bill would be insured. This
was frustrated by the refusal of many
democrats to enter into any agree
ment, alleging this would he a surren-
der to the "Aldrich republicans" The
plan was this-the republicans would
strike out the sections of the bill re-
lating to capitalization of railroads
and would pass an amendment pro-
hibiting the changing of rates to de-
stroy competition and give a place
Of advantage TO the statehood bill,
In return tHe democrats were eA-
pected to expedite the railroad bill
by voting down most of the insur>
gent amendments.
Despite the failure to make an
agreement, Aldrich said he believed
arrangements would be made soon
to insure the passage of the bill at
an early date.
Regulars claim ten democratic
votes but say they need only two or
three. The insurgents denied any
approach to an agreement between
them and the regulars.

Come Back and Run for
Governor

NEW YORK, May 20.-Leaders of
the republican state and county or
ganization today conferred with U. S.
Senator Root regarding political

The message to the ex-president will
be an appealing one. He will be told
that the acceptance of the judgeship
by Governor Hughes has demoralized
the party; that the old guard is dis
rupted.
Senator Root does not explain to
any Of his callers. where he is to meet
Roosevelt but it is believed here that
he has already made an appointment

CENTURY CLUB
is PR0SPERING
Decide to Add Clay Pigeon
Shooting to Sport.
Special to the EVENING NEws.

SpeclQI TO the EVENING NEWS.
Keyport, Dec. 15:-The Century
Athletic Club held its regular meet
ing at the rooms of the club in Front
street, Tuesday night. The project
of another dance was discussed IA
yorably, same to take place In the
near future. One new member was
admitted to the club, namely, Mar
tin Hoffman. The membership has
increased greatly in the last few
months.
1t was decided to introduce clay
pigeon shooting IN the club as a new
amusement, and judeon &. Hopla and
Cecil S. Ackerson were appointed as
a committee of two, to collect data
on traps, blue rocks, etc, to better
inform the members on the subject.
The club has grown stronger in
the last six months than at any pre-
v4ous time. Although burned out,
the members stuck together and now
have the satisfaction of being one
of the strongest and most successful
clubs in this section.
If the cunning project succeeds In
making some good shots out of the
members, a team will be formed to
compete with those of the surround
ing places.
1t has not been fully decided
whether to form a basketball team
this year or not. The lack of a good
court to play on may be the cause
