Before an other vote could be had on the dozen or mora amendments offered by Cummins an agreement waa reached to suspend further action until Monday, Tha vote defeating the amendment showed three Democrats, three regular Republicans- and eight prnKreswlya lined up for a change in the agreement. This is believed to reflect eccurstelv the strength of all proposed amend ments. Nearly all the Democrats and regular Republicans are opposed to aohanxe In the bill, while the progressives favor th amendments. Those voting for tjie amendments were Bailey. Simmons and Thornton.

"The congress of this country Is for the strong, not for the weak." declared Dr. B. A. Abbott of St. Louis, speaking before the international convention of Christian churches at the White Temple last night. "It Is concerned in keeping some rail road from 'going broke,' " continued Dr. Abbott. "It Is energetic to look after the trusts snd to keep Wall street from becoming panicky, but It does nothing to keep the people from going hungry. to combat poverty, to give strength to weakness. "I consider Lloyd George of England the greatest living statesman, because he is conducting a warfare in behalf of the poor against poverty. "Duty to Care for Weak." " 'Give us this day our dally bread.' has become the most imperative prayer of this country. The condition Is such that only the church of Jesus Christ can solve the problem of the poor and give them bread. In this country we train our minds to be wise, but we do not train our hearts. It Is our duty to care for the wesk, the poor, the hungry snd it we fail to care we fall In duty. Let us give our hearts a chance." The delegates to the International conference made plans yesterday Inter national In scope. R. A. Long's pro posal to endow a hospital In Kansas City with a million dollars provided the church give another million was re ceived with applause. A proposal that the brotherhood of the church lead a campaign to establish a hospital for the healing of the destitute in every great city was received last night with cheers. The unifying of sll denomina tions under one grest lesdership in or der that all forces msy be concentrated In the evsngellsatlon of the world re ceived the unqualified approval of the delegates and at a meeting of tho church union board In the First Presbyterian church tonight the plan of unity will be further developed and made defi nite, Sunday School Work.

(By tU International Newt Service.) Washington, July 8. The alleged in fluence of Charles P. Taft In having the Controller Bay, Alaska, waterfront thrown open to the entry will bo lnveo-. tlgated by congress. Two steps were) taken toward this end today, following the publication of the alleged letter of R. S. Ryan to former Secretary . Bal linger, In which the former declared ho had to invoke the aid of Charles P. Taft to Induce the president to open to entry those lands which constituted; the only available railroad outlet In tha Alaskan coast. Representative Cox of Indiana Intro dueed a resolution calling on the presi dent for all Information concerning th executive order under which tho land was opened to entry. Including any ln fluence exerted upon him by any of the persons mentioned In thU connec tion. this resolution, announcement wii made that at Its meeting on Monday, morning the house committee on ext. -penditures In the Interior department will take up tha Investigation of the story of Miss Abbott,, ths newspaper: woman who claims to have discovered the remarkable letter In the files Of the interior department which were thrown open to her at the request of a New York periodical. President Taft ' has already Informally denied tha charge that there Is to be an Investi gation; and In reply to the allegation! that by ordering tho teopentng of the Controller Bay land the president haa made It possible for -the Guggenheim syndicate to secure control of the land. Interior department of ficlals assert that this would be Impossible, Inasmuch as the law requires the government to re serve for its own purpose, namely, tho prevention of monopoly, alternate sec tions on all waterfront land that Is thus thrown open. It was also declared yesterday that no such letter as that alleged to have been found by Mrs. Abbott Is In tho files of the Interior department.

Miss Abbott, in any Investigation that la to be begun, will be one of the star wit nesses if she adheres to her original story. She made this statement today: "I have In my possession the paper on which I copied the postscript. As I. stated In my Interview printed Friday.
