Opponents Of the amendment, which
was offered by Senator Cummins,
claim it will be stricken out in con-
ference. During the day various
similar proposals had been voted
down, those leading the fight for the
bill declaring any such limitation
upon the presidents discretion would
destroy the measures value as an
emergency step to meet the situation
created by the European war.
Another unsuccessful attempt was
made to defeat the Jones amendment
adopted Saturday. authorizing the
president in his judgment to admit

NEW HAVEN ACCEPTS Terms,
MAKES IT'S PEACE WITH THE
GOVERNMENT.
McRcynOlds Informed That Peaceful
Dissolution Now Will be Arranged
and Court Action Avoided.

Washington, Aug. 11.-Attorney
General McReynolds received word
tonight from New York that the di-
rectors OF the New Haven railroad
have agreed to his terms for peace
ful dissolution OF the system which
VIII put an end to the court proceed
ing begun there several weeks ago.
DEPARTMENT of Justice officials,
asked some time ago if there was
any possible way to avoid fighting the
suit through the courts. replied the
only way was to carry out the terms
or the agreement for dissolution made
months ago. Attorney General Nc
Reynolds, however made his demands
regarding the separation Of the Bos-
ton d Maine stronger than formerly.
In the old agreement the trustees
were to hold the New Haveh's Boston
Maine stock for two years and a
half Under the present understand
ing they will hold it for only one year.
Inc attorney general is expected to
see they are in no way interfered with
by the New Haven. They are expected
to dispose of the stock in IL months
but failure to do so on reasonable
grounds probably would lead to an ex-
tension of time.
The interstate commerce commits
sion under the present arrangement,
is to decide whether the New Haven
shall retain its interest in it's socalled
Sound steamship lines.
The whole agreement will be en-
bodied in a decree, which will be ac-
cepted by both the government and
the proper railroad officials and sub
mitted to the United States court Of
New York for approval and record.
The criminal prosecution of New
Ilaven directors will not be affected,
department officials said tonight. The
federal grand jury in New York prob
ably will get the case early in Sep
tember.

Dear, dear little book. You seem
like an old, old friend who had been
away in a far country.
Here in my hospital bed have
been looking you over and l have
laughed and cried as l turned your
pages and the days Of my married
life have again unfolded themselves
before me.
1t is a queer kind of a sensation to
go quickly into the land of nowhere
and then wake up in the land of pain.
l took the train from Eliene's on
Thursday morning and intended to
stop off Friday at Kitty's for day
while on my way home to meet Dick
on Saturday.
Kitty and Herbert finally did not
have their honeymoon trip as there
was a strike declared in the shirt
waist shops and a great many of Her
bert's settlement members were
among those who went out"
I left EEene happy as possible with
her babies and she assured me that
she would return in the fall to her
own home.

ing from day to day-trying to be
happy from hour to hour"
l got on the train and my thoughts
ran ahead to the time when l should
see Dick. Dear, dear Dick, who has
been so patient and sweet to me all
through these weary weeks of pain
have been spending here.

miles away from Kitty's Mr.. Sanders
got on the train, much to my surprise
and pleasure, for the ride had been
dusty, hot and uncomfortable.
