port the Mat
ter.
POSSIBLE CHANCE NOW
o.,.lv Possible That Measure Will
8 PASSED Yet by Senate But
Not BY House This
Session.

that senator Cummins, of Iowa, not
anly does not object to the charter
which the Inter-C City Bridge company
( seeking from congress but will sup
hort the measure when, it is again
brought before the senate, is announc-
cd with authority.
Senator Cummins within the last
few days has personally fully explain
ID the position he took In the matter
when he temporarily blocked passage
81 the bill in the senate. He at that
time asked for time in which to look
into the bill, explaining that he was
not fully advised as to it. Through a
series Of circumstances the matter
had not been presented to Senator
cummins and naturally ne wished to
examine the measure.
Senator Cummins has advised one
Or two slight changes in the wording
81 the bill as 1t was presented in the
senate and it is possible that the
bill will be brought before the sen
ate on Monday either by Senator Gull
lon, of Illinois, or Senator Kenyon, OF
Iowa, and if unanimous consent is
obtained it will probably be passed
However, because Of the Illness Of
Senator Cullom, the press OF other
measures upon Senators Cummins and
Kenyon and the few remaining days
ef the session, 1t is probable that the
bill will go over.
Authoritative explanation is also
made as to the action of the house
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce in agreeing not to report
either the Inter-City bridge bill OF
the Marsh bridge bill at this session
The committee decided not to take ur
these matters because OF the press
Of time on other measures OF national
Importance.
However, thr attitude OF the house
an. senate committees and the leg
islators who have spoken on the sub
1ect has been 30 favorable that the
bill Is expected to pass at the coming
special session or the next December
session and the bridge will be immed
lately ready for commercial trafic.
