NO FAMILY JARS
Between Representatives MccIeary and
Volstead Over Committees.
From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building

From the Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington
Washington. Dec. l. Representative
McCleary to-day denied emphatically the
stories which have been printed in Mime
sofa papers to the effect that he is inter
fering in Representative Volstead's com
mittee assignment. There is absolutely
no truth in the report said Mr. McCleary.
Il have not interfered in any way with
Mr.. Volstead's committee preferences and
have not attempted in any way to influence
Speaker Cannon so far as Mr.. volstead Is
concerned. On the contrary have only
the kindest feeling for my colleague and
am always ready to extend to him every
courtesy due from an old member to new
one. Mr.. Volstead was one OF my support
ers eleven years ago when I made my first
race for congress and my regard for him
has never changed since then Mr.. Vol
stead said he had no knowledge that Nc
Cleary was trying to interfere with his
committee assignment. II have always
been treated courteously by Mr.. Nc
4 Clearly" said Vo1stead. IT have not asked
| him for any favors in the way of pushing
my candidacy for committee assignments,
and do not believe he has done the things
/ with which he Is charged.

reclamation service and the bureau of
forestry. The commission is directed to

General Brooke said also that Gem

cations to the war department over the
head of his commanding officer. Gen
seral Wood, he said, neglected to work
in harmony with the military govern
nent. He referred also to General
Woods attitude toward the newspa-
pers of Santiago, which repeatedly
made attacks on General Brooke's ad-
ministration. General Brooke read a
number OF these attacks and also his
recommendation to the war depart

unless they desisted.
Wood Must Testify.
The witness offered, in support of
his statements, many documents taken
from records at the war department
and several papers from his personal
collection. At the close Of his testi-
mony a member Of the committee said
that it is probable General Wood will
have to return from the Philippines

senate to reduce the duties on sugar
and tobacco from the Philippines to

ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE.

As Premier Combes was returning
yesterday afternoon to the prefecture
from banquet given by the Friendly
Society ofTeachers at Marseilles, France,
at which NJ. Pelletan, minister ofmarine,
and Henri Brisson, deputy for Mar
settles, and a number of senators and
deputies were present, two pistol-shots
were fired at the carriage in which he
was riding. The Premier was I'M
touched, and none of those accompany
ing him was hurt. The attempt upon
the life of the president of the ministry
caused great excitement, and the crowd
pointed out to the police as the author
of the attempt q man dressed in fisher
mems clothes. His companion drew a
knife, but the police quickly disarmed
him. The police had much difficulty in
protecting the man who had fired the
shots from the crowd. He struggled
desperately, but was soon overcome,
handcuffed and taken to the prefecture,
where, NJ. Combes had already arrived.
The first interrogation of the prisoner
took place in the presence ofthe Premier.
The man said his name was
Sanvaire PicOlo. He spoke very bad
French, with a strong Italian ac-
cent. He denied that he had fired
the shots, but when searched a re-
volyer was found with two chambers
which had been recently fired. 1t is be-
lieved that PicOlo and his companion,
who had effected his escape during the
confusion, are both dangerous anar-
chists. The police are aware of the
presence in Marseilles of a number OF
other anarchists.
The following official version of the
attack upon Premier Combes has been
issued: As the Premier's carriage was
passing the corner of the Avenue Cape
lette and Rue Saint Eloi, five men be-
gan throwing tomatoes. Only one OF
the missiles reached the carriage, strik-
ing the coachman in the eye. The
detectives, aided by the local police,
started in pursuit of the men, who fed.
Being closely pressed and seeing them
selves about to be oyertaken the men
drew knives and revolvers and engaged
in a struggle with the police, who fired,
seriously wounding three of them. One
of the arrested succeeded in passing his
revolver to an accomplice. Another
was arrested few minutes later. One
of them, named Picolo, has already I'M
dergone five previous arrests.
Premier Comics, accompanied by
Minister of Marine Pelletan, left Mar
settles last night for Paris.

THE RICHMOND STRIKE.

The street car strike has ceased to be
the engrossing topic in Richmond and
has almost ceased to be talked about.
One by one the walkers are beginning TO
ride, some only to and from their work,
others only occasionally, but a great
number of them are riding who formerly
walked.
The company has now settled down to
the usual routine of work, and is endeav-
oring to recoup itself for the serious
losses incident to the strike and the cost
of breaking it. Just what the cost Of
has been, or approximately. has been
brought out in the trial of the Fulton
cases.
No disturbances of any kind are re-
ported, and affairs have about settled
down to the usual status. Not during
the week has there been any noteworthy
disorder or attacks on the cars, and the
dynamite explosion of the previous week
has been about forgotten. The perpe-
traitor of that has not been apprehended,
and probably never will be.
