Taft Rail Bill Faces Senate Passage Amid Compromise
The Taft administration railroad rate bill, altered and trimmed, is expected to pass the Senate Friday. A coalition of old guard Republicans and Democrats backed the measure, but it disappoints Taft and insurgents and constrains conservatives. The bill creates a court of commerce with five judges and sets maximum rates and routes, with penalties for noncompliance. Cummins amendment delaying rate increases was rejected. Aldrich yielded to adopt Jones and Paynter amendments, authorizing rate suspensions and post increase refunds.

Curtiss Awaits Better Weather For Long Flight Start
Albany May 27 A brisk breeze and rough ground kept aviator Glenn Curtiss from starting his Albany to New York flight Friday morning. He planned to test the machine on a field at Rensselaer island, then attempt the long journey if conditions improve. Curtiss said the attempt would be made, weather permitting, and Hamilton is expected to arrive Saturday. The aviator rode with his father, Bishop Milton Wright, in a brief 300 foot flight over the field. A crowd camped nearby as ground smoothers prepared a 200 to 300 foot speedway for the launch.

Women Sailors of Seas Have Courage
San Francisco May 27 During the storm and shipwreck it has not always been the women that have wavered. The sailor will tell you that when danger at sea comes the gentler sex keeps cool as the men and often their encouragement and bravery wrested tribute from the elements. The number of women who go down to the sea in ships is surprising with many wives aboard and families raised on windjammers and coastwise vessels.
