permitted him to dagger to his foet
and then fired again. Thai bullet
crashed Into tho lower pert, of his left
side, although jsho had tried to hit the
heart. Again Shannon fell to the
streii. As he rolled about reeking
relief from pain, the woman shot him
again, that time in the small of tho

PASS RAILROAD Bill
IN SENATE, 50 TO 12
m >HB.
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.

Johnson flght Is a frame-up, and that
Johnson hud no chance-Jo win and
Uoean't expect to win. 1 rju convinced
Jeffries was assured ho would bo tho
winner before he coneented to re-en
ter the game, and that Johnson lias
been offered and has agreed to ac
cept a big ?um and an Interest In (lie
moving pictures to let Jeffries win
and thus throw?the championship
back to the white race."
Governor J. N. Gillette, of Califor
nia, thus expressed himself concern
ing the heavyweight championship
fight which ia scheduled to tnko ?tla^*o
in San Francisco on July 4. Governor^
Gillette was seen at the CongreRtt Ho
tel, where he stopped over for the Gny
on his way homo from Washington,
D. C. Ho did not mince his words.
"I bellevo it's a frame up." Ih* re
peated. "There was ro chance to
get Jeffries in the ring again, In my
opinion, unless ho was assured lu ad
vance of victory. Jeffries doe.m't
need the money, nnd, while ho may
ho patriotic aniJ willing 'to be:?r tho
white man's burden,' he has too much
to lo*o In prestige to take.-n chanco
on defeat. On the other hand. John

makes a good showing oga'.nst the un
beaten champion, it" will bo a great
ljonor In itself, and if ho can win
enough to make him independent for
life by letllu* Jeffries gain the title,^
I think he will do It, llo need^ the
money and ,1 think lie has arranged
to n?et it.
"But eliminating a 'frame up' for
Jeffries to win, what chance lies John
son? IIo would have to go into tho
ring prepared to whip not only Jef
fries, but the referee and a majority
of the male population of California.
I don't believe the crowd would gland
for tho negro being, retumed-JJsft win
ner, and I am confident that Johnson
before ho would take a chance would
fall down and knock himself out If
that were the only way he could let
Jeff win..

that ends It eo far as 1 am con

for his text "Tho Initiative, Ueforen
duni and Itccall," now well under

ties. he sa Id :
"The Legislature of 19 01 Is mem
orable iu its character. 1 wit nested
tho buying of that Legislature for the
election of a United States Senator.
Then they introduced tlio 'Hipper
bill' and they bought and paid for
that. Then they introduced tbq
llapld Trnmlt liill and they paid for
that. I remember tlmt the ClovlMiior

As tho United States Senator re

mentioned caused a commotion, and
as the Governor at tho time referred
to was William A. Stqne. now a prac
ticing lawyer in Pittsburg and a
friend of most members of tho liun
gry Club, this assertion made a sensa
tion. Without hesitancy Senator
Fllnn continued:
"If wo had had the recall law tho-o
things could not. have happened. In

"I think some of you can see a po
litical revolution coming. I Chink it
la almost here. The labor .inIons ail
over tho country, starting in the
West, arc sweeping eastward, and
are in revolt over political condi
tions. The first thing they want Is
tho initiative, referendum and recall,
and If tlicy don't get it they will
