IN THE WHITE HOUSE CABINET
ROOM TODAY WAS HELD I'M
PoRTANT MEETING.
HELD AT PRESIDENTS REQUEST
the Purpose and Result Of the
Consultation, but Nothing
Definite Learned.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Feb. 15.-A very impor-
tant conference was held In the cabinet
room of the White house today.
At the presidents request, he was
Joined there shortly after 10 O'Clock by
Senators Allison, Aldrich and Spooner,
Speaker Henderson and Representatives
Cannon and Grosvenor and the confer
enee lasted until few minutes after
noon.
1t Is something Of coincidence that
those at the conference today We're with
the exception of the president himself
and Senator Spooner, the same men who
took part In the famous conference a
few weeks prior to the Spanish war.
which resulted In the definite conclusion
that congress should appropriate $780,
100000 10 be placed at the disposal of
the president to prepare for war. Not
since that momentous occasion until
today have the same men been for
mally summoned for Il conference at the
White house.
Previous to the conference the presi-
dent breakfasted at the White house
with Attorney General Knox, Postmaster
General Payne and Senator Hanna.
When the conference broke up those
who participated I'm II were extreme
ly and unusually retlcent
The fact that the senator's are mem
bers of the steering committee OF the
senate and Speaker Henderson and his
two lieutenants, who We're present to-
day, practically control legislation in
the house, gave rise TO the belief that
the consultation referred To the legsla-
tive program In congress and might
have bearing upon the shipping of the
Cuban, Philippine and war revenue re-
peal legislation.
There also was an intimatlon that
the president talked with his party lead
ers In congress about the Sehley case
and color was given to this surmise by
a remark dropped by one of The SEN
ators.
But nothing definite as TO the purpose
or the result of the consultation could be
obtained.

overruled by Judge Holloway, who then
told the prisoner to stand up.

why sentence should not be passed upon
her.
