VOL. XX. SALEM, OREGON, MONDAY, MAY 30, lt)10. No. 122. TO VOTE ON m BILL It Will Be Taken bv 'or Final Passage by the Sv te To morrow and Will Be-oent to the President Wednesday. ARE AFRAID OF HIS VETO After Gathering the President's Sug gestions Sennto Will Be Ready to Send the Kill to Conference M'ith the Lower House, ns It Is Known It WlII,Not Agree to the Bill in the Shape the Scnntc Has It at -the Present Time. UNITED PRESS WIRED WtTlB. Washington, May 30. The rail road regulation bill will probably be finally voted on in tho senate tomor row. Wednesday it is the plan of the senate leaders to send the bill, as finally adopted by the upper house, to President Taft. He -will consider tho bill carefully and make a number of recommendations. It js hoped in thl3 way that the bill flnaUy adopted by congress will be nearer the form flr3t sent to congress than the battle-scarred remnant adopted by the house, and that now is on its way to pas sage in the senate. The expected changes are to be made In the conference committee. The bills of the two houses differ con siderably. It is certain that tho house will refuse to adopt tho bill as passed by the senate, and that tho measure will go to conference. It is here that Taft's study of the bill passed by tho senate Is expected to count. Tho sen ato leaders will ask Taft to make Im mediate recommendati&ns to the committee, suggesting1 the sort of bill ho would bo willing to sign. It is bolleved he will recommend thnt cer tain original provisions bo reinstated. Tho conference committee has prac tically the last word In forming the bill. Tho two houses can adopt or reject the suggestions of the com mittee or rush the matter back for further ponslderatlon, but no amend ment can bo adopted. The regulars expect to rush the conference report through during the final days of the session, when the congressmen are nnxious to get away from; Washington. Naturally con gress does not want to enact a bill that will be vetoed by the president, so his recommendations, It is expect ed, will have" considerable weight with the committee.

Flew From Albany to New York Making Only Two Descents, and These Only for a Minute or Two Each. NEARLY A MILE A MINUTE He Broke tho World's1 Record for Av erage Hourly Speed, Jinking It 54 4 5 Miles nn Hour He Ite ceived Check for $10,000 From the New York AVorld--Curtiss Es timates Ho Benched a Height of $5000 Feet. UNITED I'KESS LEAKED WIRE. New York, May 30. The beginning of aeroplane flights between Chicago find New York, with no more stops than would bo necessary for an ex press car to change ends, is consid ered a probability here today. Avia tors, enthused by the achievement of Glenn H. Curtlss, in flying 137 miles between Albany and New York yes terday, with only two descents, are claiming that, with the establishment of aerdromes and increased knowl edge of aerial conditions, Curtlss' flight may be surpassed for greater distances, and eventually gigantic car rying airships will ply between cities of the United States. Curtlss today was the recipient of many honors and congratulations be stowed by his admirers. More sub stantial In reward was tho New York World'scheck for $10,000, tho prize Curtlss won by his, successful flight. The aviator gavothe check to Mrs. Curtlss, who took it with a smile and said she would "make good use of It." Among ihe records that Curtlss fractured wastho world's average hourly speed record for tho long dis tance flights. Curtlss maintained an average speed of G4 4-5 miles un hour throughout" tho journey. Ho estimated that ho , ascended o a height of 5000 feet at one time In the flight. The daring Curtlss, during tho sky voyage, received commendation both from aviators and. laymen. That the aeronaut risked success in flying from, a steep terrace at Spuyten Duyvll, af ter he had alighted a second tlmo Is generally b.elieved. The aviator, to us ems own words, started "as a bird would begin its flight,' not tak ing the usual run along tho ground. Curtlss trusted to his planes to bear him after leaving tho higher ground, until he could get his engine into action. In doing this he Jeop ardized his chance of success, but ho saved considerable time, as tho ground from which, ho ascended at Spuyten Duyvll was terraced and un even, and he would have been com pelled to trundle , tho machine to level ground. Curtlss announced today that he would not fly again for some time. He said that he would return to Hammondsport to stay sevoral weeks and would then probably go abroad. , o How Does the 20 Look Now 0 That Our Competitors are Giving the People?

Tho neatest hint that Pinchot gavo regarding ROosovolt's' plana when ho reaches America was when Pinchot referred to Mho ollvo trees of Italy. "Wero there no lemon trees?" har was asked.
