nese bill to-day, said: "The House bill
reported was in many respects better thar
the Senate bill passed, though, Of course,
we all favored the Senate bill under the
circumstances. 1t is now becoming gen.
orally understood that we are in earnest
about restricting Chinese immigration. H
We can't get twenty years, as the veto has
declared, as far as I am concered, l am
willing to take the mex best thing. 1t is
likely that the President will approve a
ten-year bill. and I am willing to give him
an opportunity, though there are a num-
Der who think he will approve q fifteen
year bill. The chances are that q ten-year
bill will be finally passed. l am satisfied
that some who originally voted for the bill
cannot be got to do 80 again, though there
will be enough OF them who will vote to
pass q bill Of som kind. The trouble
has been, many Republicans have
claimed credit for this bill sll along,
though they have not given it their
support. There are Democrats who are
not willing that the Republicans shall
claim all the credit. Many Democrats
voted for the bill against their own indi-
vidual wishes to oblige Rosecrans, Berry
and myself, and it will take hard work to
get these in the traces again; but it can be
done. The Republicans will have nc
right to claim any credit in regard to this
bill, for if it were not for them it would
nave been passed before this"
Notices will be delivered to members of
the House Committee on Education and
Labor tomorrow morning. calling a meet
ing of the committee on Wednesday. As
the committee has no other business before
it, ii will likely decide on q Chinese bill
out of the five bills they have before them,
or adopt one OF the two or three that will
be probably introduced tomorrow. Cas-
sidy will introduce a bill tomorrow on the
subject, all the provisions of which he had
not decided en- himself tonight.
ROsecrans to BE Superseded.
CHICAGO, April IA Washington spe-
cial says that General Rosecrans is to be
superseded in the management OF the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
which is to be turned over to Roswell P.
Flower of New York, who made a contest
with Rosecrans for the Craftsmanship Of
the Congressional Committee. Flower
was not acceptable as chairman by his col
leagues Of the Committee, because of his
views on finance, and his advocacy of the
national banking system, and Rosecrans
was elected as a representative Of the
Western Democrats. Flowers friends,
who were much. chagrined at his defeat for
the craftsmanship Of the Executive Com
mittee, have, it is said. succeeded in for
mulating a plan by which Rosecrans is to
| haua tho harrap hannr ~ tho chairvoon-
ship, while the management will all be in
the hands of Flower. To this end they
will make Rosecrans chairman of the Joint
Executive Committee of the senate and
House, and appoint q managing commit
tee Of the Finance Committee, of which
Flower will be made chairman, and which
will consist of Flower, Rosecrans and
Cobb on the part Of the House, and Davis
of West Virginia and German of Mary
land on the part Of the Senate, and four
prominent outsiders not yet named. This
programme would have been carried out
last week, but for the fact that one OF the
members of the committee was suddenly
called away by the death OF his brother,
which caused the -postponement. The
only flaw in the arrangements IL said to be
the disinclination of Flower to assume the
responsibility, but this, ii is said, will be

The Star Reuters ON Trial.
WASHINGTON. April lin the Criminal
Court yesterday q motion to quash the
indictments against the Star Reuters was
denied. Judge Wylie said the motions in
the cases Of Dorsey and Brady were simi-
lar to the principal points made in all.
being that the defendants were not bound
over by the Commissioner to await the
action Of the Grand Jury, and that the
jury had found the indictments without
the cases having been properly brought
before them by order Of the Court. The
Judge then read the Maryland law Of
1922. upon which these points are based.
Of the district, and defined the force OF
the Maryland statutes of Columbia. The
decision he finally arrived at, after an ex-
haustive consideration Of all the acts sub
sequent to that organizing the District
Courts. and that the act itself was the Law
Of i772, and had disappeared from the
district code along with the Maryland laws
OF the same class many years ago. The
Judge then took up the other points Of the
motion to quash the question Of the juris-
diction Of the Court, and the point that
the conspiracy charged in the Indictment
had not been sufficiently defined received
consideration in its order. After reading
the statutes bearing IN the jurisdiction OF
this Court. he declared that the Court
certainly has Jurisdiction In the premises.
As to the claim that the conspiracy had
not been established by the Indictment, he

their joint action. endeavored to obtain
money, or Its equivalent, from the Gov
eminent by illegal methods. After read
ing the statutes at length, the Judge gave
his definition OF the meaning Of con-
spiracy, and reviewed carefully the por-
tions OF the indictment containing these
allegations. and said that in his opinion
the evidence presented herein was strong
enough to warrant the prosecution OF these
defendants. Therefore, he decided that
the indictments were sufficient in all par
tioulars. He then took up what are known
as the Straw Bond cases, which were sent
to his Court, and again decided that the
indictments were sufficient in these cases.
The recognizance Of Stephen A. Dorsey
was declared forfeited and his arrest or
dered. Colonel Totten formally noted an
objection to the decision. Most Of the
defendants entered IN appearance.
