Republicans Solidly For It and Six Democrats loin Thein. VICTORY CLAIMED FOR SHIPPERS Measure nfll Mirny Clauses Favoring Shippers Not In the Original On? ??La Folteti?*e Amendment l<'or Physical Valuation Rejected. Washington, D. O. ? The Senate passed the Administration Railroad bill by 60 to 12. It had be,en under consideration for more than twelvo weeks and practically no other busi ness except concerning appropriation bills was considered In that long pe riod. The practical unanimity with which the measure was passed was duo to the radical change* made In the meas uro from .thos form lu which It was drafted by Attorney-Gei eral Wickor Bhaiu, followlngnumeroua conference? In tho White House on the subject of amending Inlerstato commerce ImvH. All of tho "Insurgents" wlio opposed many features of tho orig'.i:11 bill voted for It. Through the elimination of pooling and merger sections and by reason of the adoption of many amendments In tho Interest of shippers, the progres sive Republicans claimed to have Avon a signal victory, and most of the Dem ocrats expressed themselves as favor able to the largo part of tho measure. Had It not been for the retention of the soctfons to create a court of com merce It Is likely the vote for the bill vould have beon unanimous. Debate ccased when Senator El hins, chairman of the Interstate Com merce Committee, moved to take up the bill which was passed by tho House and after striking out tho body of that measure to substitute the mat ter agreed upon by the Senate. In that form the bill was voted upon, with the result that it was passed l?y a vote of 50 to 12. No Republican voted against the bill and elx Democrats voted for it. They wero Messrs. Chamberlin. CIhv, Gore, Paynter, 8lm.mons and Stone. Tho Democrats recorded against It wero Messrs, Bacon, Fletcher, Fra rier, Hughes, Money; Newlands. Per cy, Purcell, Rayner, Shiveley, Smith of Maryland and 3mith of Sou'.h Car olina. Just before the voting began Sena tor La Follette, one of the "Insur gent" Republican leaders, served no tice upon tho Senate that unless the Senate conferees made a determined fight for retention of amendments ob tained by progressives and Democrats, it could not hope to approve tho con ference report. Speeches in explana tion of tholr Votes were made by Sen ators Bacon,. La Follette, Dolliver, Paynter,. Clay, Sltnmona and Gore, and brief remarks were made by oth ers. Tho new law will take effect sixty dayg from the date of approval by the President. Mr. La Follette offered his amend K'jnt to provide for the ascertainment of the physical valuation of railroad property. It was rejected by a vote of 24 to 32. Mr. I^a Follette then preseuted a carefully prepared analysis of the original bill. Separating his remarks into three divisions he undertook to show what the original bill' ''as drafted by the Attorney-General and recommended by the President" had done ''for the public", and "for the railroads." and also to outline the im provements made in the Senato "in ihe publio interest." Mr. La Follette closed by giving no, tlco that the conferees must keep faith with the Senate regarding tho important amendments engrafted on the bill If they expect the conference report to be approved. He referred to a remark made by Senator Aldrlch a fortnight ago in debate on the long Rnd-short-haul elaueo, that "ho who laughs last laughs best," as signifying that the conferees might be ready to drop some Important features from the bill.
