RAILWAYS HOLD
 A CONFERENE
DISCUSS LEGAL PHASE OF INTER- STATE COMMERCE coMMls-
 SION DECISION.
No Conclusion Reached as To Course the Companies Will Pursue in
 Matter.

New York, Feb 27.-Only the legal phases of what the eastern trunk line railroads propose to do in face of the decision of the Interstate Commerce Comm 'ssion, denying increased freight rates were considered at the general conference in New York today
 It was a meeting exclusively of general counsel in which executive heads and bankers so far as can be learned took part Fifteen attorneys discussed the situation for several hours in the offices of Vice President A. If Harris, Of the New York Gen. tral, who is the head of the legal de- partment of the Central's lines.
 After the conference Mir. Harris made the following statement:
 "A conference of some of the coun- sol for the eastern lines was held to- day in the offices of the New York Central lines for the purpose of dis cussdng the decision handed down by the Interstate Commerce Commission. No conclusion was reached as to the course the companies desired to fol- low and might not be for some days
 Abandonment of the original plan to nave a meeting of the executive heads was due, it is said, to the fact that the railroad officials desire that their counsel shall first determine the status ftheir case from a legal standpoint. It is believed that whue the discussion today hinged upon the question of the constittuionality of the Mann -Elllins biA, the fifteen attorneys present came to no decision whether the constitutionality of the bill would be attacked
 If is understood the conferences Of the attorneys wln continue anformaHy for several days without public an- nouncement until it is definitely decld' cd what action is to be taken. Vail Street interprets the change in plans that is, the abandonment of the gen. eral conference idea which was to have been in the nature of an mdls- nation meeting, to a shift Of sentl- ment. Railroad heads were almost without exception pessimistic when the decision first was made known but subsequently approved the rullhg ond many powerful financial interests also took this view of optimism.

TAFT SEEMS
 DETERMINED
PRESIDENT SAYS ONLY A REAL TEST VOTE WILL slDETRAck
 A SPECIAL SESSION.
Makes 1t Plain That Any Kind of Vote on Reciprocity Will Not De- ter Him From Making the
 Proposed Gall.

Washington. Feb. 27.-President Taft made 1t plain might that he will not be deterned from his deternlina- ton to call an extra session of con gress to get action upon the Canadian reciprocity agreement by any vote which the senate may take upon it, unless it IS plain to him that suctl vote Is a real test on the merits of the agreement and not merely on an amendment to avoid an extra session.
 limitations were made today that the president might be kept from con- vening congress in extra session if some sort of a vote could be taken, whether direct or not tending to show the strong opposition to the measure.
 Efforts were being made, it was said, to obtain the votes of a number of members who were in favor of reef procity but opposed to an extra ses- sion, the intimation being that tle president would be satisfied with test
 
 against reciprocity would not be over- come even in an extra session. The president declared emphatically to- night that nothing would satisfy him but an absolutely honest vote on the merits of the bill.
 This was after conference at the White House lat which Representa- tives Haynes, Dalzell, Weeks and Gil lett were present The president also had summoned number of senators, but owing to the night session they could not go.
 The subject discussed at the confer ence was the date for the meeting of the extra session. The date now rests practically with the republican leaders and the president will wait until he has heard from them before fixing the time definitely His original intention had been to call it without delay.
 Then in deference to the wishes vf Democrat Leaders Clarke and Under wood, who desired him to give six weeks respite, he had suggested compromise date. April 4, tentatively, not wanting it understood, however. that this date had been definitely fixed, he summoned the republican leaders to get their views as to time which they thought best for the re- ocmventing

SENATE IN ALL
 NIGHT SESSION
FILl5USTER AGAINST LORlMER RESOLUTION CONVERTS SEN
 ATE INTO SLEEPING HOUSE.
Senator Crawford Speaks for Five Hours While Members Sleep in
 Chairs and Sofas.

| NdSHlISAOH, rep. Zt.-lJ tOOh SeN- eral hours to accomplish 1t, but sup porters of Senator Lorimer tonight ad- yanced the case where a rollcan may be stlrted at any time when the anti Lorimer forces may be caught nap ping After several senators had con stunned time with home consumption, ' speeches on the subject of popular eleatiCn of senators and Canadian rs- ciprccity, Senator Bailey took advan tage of a hull to move that when a vote is taken on the Lorimer resolu- tions it be by calling of the eyes and nays. Senator Brandegee, who was presiding, lost no time in submitting the question to the senate and it was declared carried.
 This situation came only after pow erful members of the senate had eu- deavored to force a vote on the pend ing measures dearest to the heart of each. Senator Bailey wanted action on the 1orimer resolution and got it.; Senator Cummins had the same inter est in the permanent tariff board and lost.
 Satisfied with this proceeding most of the Lormer senators retired to the cloakroom to smoke while Senator Crawford began a review of testimony i'm the case to avoid the submission of the resolution to the senate. It was testimony most strongly convincing. he maintained, and established that the men lad received the bribes charged.
 At fifteen minutes past midnight, MT Crawford had been speaking for two hours.
 Senator Jeff Davis said he had made no arrangements to stay all night and wanted to know how much longer the speech was going to continue. MT. Crawford d.d not attempt to offer new light upon the testimony and made no secret of the fact that ne was only killing time.
 MT. Davls finally made the point O. no quorum and on the rollcall n senators answered. Mir. Crawford pro- ceeded.
 At that hour there was no indica- tiCn of a cessastion of the filibuster
 At 12:35 there was another call for a quorum and Senator Crawford made mock complaint that this time was be. ing "wasted reclllessly."
 At 1:15 am Vice President Sher man declined to permit a rollcall to ascertain if a quorum of the senate was present He based his refusal on the ground that no business had transp-red since the previous call. Senator Crawicrd mad occupied all the time intervening.
 At 3;15 o'clock this morning with many senators sleeping on their chairs and on lounges in the senate chamber, Senator Crawford still held the floor after talking almost continuously for five hours. There was no indication waen he would yield.

KENTUCKY BOOKMAkERS OFFER SERIES OF WAGE~ ON PEN.
 NANT WINNING CHANGES.
Maenates See in Scheme the Proba- bIe Ruination of What is Regarded as the Cleanest Sport in This
 Country.

New York, Feb. 27.-There We're re- ueiyed here today by express from Kentucky circulars of a betting syndt cate which offers to accept bets On the outcome of the approaching pennant races in the National and American Baseball Leagues and the American Association aGd also Un club against club series.
 The circular caused some uneasi- ness among local baseball men who were quick to denounce the scheme, and 1t is understood that immediate steps will be taken by the officials of the National and American leagues to check, if possible, what they consider a menace to the National game.
 Gambling has lons been tabooed in professional baseball and the feeling seems general that if it is brought into the game, it will be to the dertinAent of a sport that now is clean and healthy
 Some persons attribute the new scheme to bookmalIers whose revenue has been cut off by the passage of anti-race track betting laws.
 The syndicate announces in it's cir cular that it is willing to accept bets of 8 or over, which shall be sent by express, telegraph or telephone.
 According to the book" planned to is offered that New York will not finish first in the National league race That the club will not finish sec ond. 3 to is offered, and for third place. 1-to is quoted. In the Amer ican League, Philadelphia is the favor ite at to to win, to for sec end place and to for third.
 In addition to- bets on the pennant races, the offer is made to lay odds on the standing of the clubs in midsea- son. In fact, every sort of imaginable combination for wagering is offered baseball enthusiasts.
 Years ago baseball came near breaking up because of open gambling The layers cf odds followed the teams about the circuit and openly made books in the spectators stands Play CTS fesl in with the gamblers and games were thrown. This brought the situation to a climax and fearing the imitation of the game, owners acted hastily and formulated stringent rules against betting in their parks
 They even went so far as to refuse admittance to known gamblers.
 Almost immediately the situation returned to normal and since then baseball fiourisihed and is now known the world over as one of the cleanelt of the professional sports.
