C. Coffey were drowned in Pond creek, near Wanette. The youngest, aged twelve, stepped into a deep pool and sank. The next oldest tried to save her as she rose to the surface and both went down, to be followed by Jessie, the oldest, who plunged into the water fifteen feet deep in a frantic effort to save the others. Their mother, who stood in the shal- low water, saw her daughters sink and leaped into the pool, but was res- cued as she was sinking. Big Projectile Hits Steamer.

NOW UP TO THE SENATE Not Expected Upper House Will Ap- Branch, but the Conferees Are Ex- pected to Arrange Differences—Does Not Approve Valuation Feature of the BIII. Washington, May 12.—The senate leaders believe they mow have. suffi. cient votes to defeat the Cummins amendment to section 9, or at least to effect a compromise along the lines of the house railroad bill, which permits the interstate commerce commission to suspend any rate, classification, reg- ulation or practice for 120 days, while the commission is investigatimg its merits. The senate bill provides that such. suspension may not exceed a period of sixty days, while the Cum- mins amendment would prevent any such rate, regulation, etc., from going into effect until it had beem approved by the eommission. The president does not attach much importance to the physical valuation provision insert- ed in the house bill, pointing out that the .commission has all along pes- sessed authority to make an investiga- tion of the physical value of railroads, but has never had the funds with which to conduct.such an investiga- tion, and that the house bill does mot provide such funds. It is estimated by Representative James A. Tawney, chairman of the appropriations committee, that it would take $10,000,000 to value rallroad prop- erty in this country. The president expects that the amendment, inelud- ing telegraph and. telephone lines within the provisions of the bill, will go out in conference. He has re- ceived assurances.of the loyalty of a considerable majority of the house and he is confident he can influence sufficient votes in the senate to effect the adoption of a bill which can be perfected in conference. Wants Certain Sections Retained. He wants sections 13, 14 and, if possible, 15 retained and their inclu- sion in the house bill makes them a proper subject of consideration in con- ference. These are the sections which provide for federal supervision of the securities of railroads—a proposition originally advanced and advocated by President Roosevelt. Looming out of the aftermath of gossip about the administration rail- road bill, which the action of the house puts squarely up to the senate later, is the flat footed declaration of the interstate commerce committee’s minority leader that the courts “will attend to the rest” and that President Taft must “take what he gets” in the way of railroad legislation. Representative Adamson of Georgia, who had charge of the Democratic side in the fight on the bill, said that the worst feature of the railroad bill -was: the stock and bond provision. “Fortunately, however,” he - added, “that could not be enforced, even if the senate should leave it in. The courts: will knock it out. I fought that part of the measure because of its unceustitutionality, but T am not at all alarmed about it, for the very rea- son that the courts would immediate- 1y pronounce it a violation of the Con- CUSHIONS in harmony with the couch cover are almost necessary .inthe furnishing of a'room—and.richly enhance the . total al quality of the decorative scheme. / make possxble the production:of these at home ard‘ novevidence of the exoeedmgly:small costi QBy theyard. stitution.” '\ H.N "cdlonial and Art Draperies Shades THE PREDICTION prove Measure Passed by Lower || and to the conferees of the two houses | tiere Curtains in pairs and by the this ‘'we have to show.
