republic were not warranted by the
facts. He said that while there was
mo purpose on the part of the individ-
|ual members of the minority to TO-
ment trouble, yet he declared that the
latitude of the party served to give
encouragement to Colombia. He re-
viewed the events incident to the
birth of the Republic and justified the
Iacts of the administration. THE DEM
acrots are bilious" he declared. "and
oppose everything because they are
bilious and morbid. The people of
the country are with the administra-
tion and will justify every act of the
president"
Mr.. Maddox (Dem. Ga.) talked on
rural free delivery, saying that con-
gressmen were compelled to crawl on
their knees and grovel in the dust be-
fore postoffice officials when they dared
ask for rural free delivery route in
their district.
Mr.. Clayton (Dem Ala.) said that
Office committee and not of the ma
jority, were Disseminated against in
the postofsice department.
Mr.. Hepburn (Rep. Iowa) replying
to Mr.. Maddox and Mr.. Clayton said
that rural free delivery had been fos-
tered and promoted by the Republican
party.
Mr.. Maddox:-'It was started under
a Democratic administration"
Mr.. Hepburn: made an appli-
cation, but a Democratic postmaster
general refused to apply it. 20 other
attempts to establish free delivery
routes were made until the elect on of
President Mckinley"
Mr.. Rainey (Dem. ILL., reverted to
the Panama canal and said that it was
not an assured fact. He did not care
to comment on the way 1t was ac-
quired. The Philippines, he declared,
would soon be freed from American
rule.
At 3:45 o'clock, the house adjourned
until tomorrow without voting on the
pension appropriation bill, which had
been the order Of business early in
the session.

CAUCUS
Of Democratic Senators
to be Held.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 15--At a
caucus of the Democratic senators to
DO held tomorrow morning, an effort
will be made to agree to enforce the
two-thirds caucus rule. against the
Cuban reciprocity bill, which is to be
voted upon before the adjournment of
the senate tomorrow, and upon the
tanama canal treaty. Such action
would not defeat the reciprocity bill,
because a majority vote only is re-
required, but such unity of action
would kill the isthmian canal treaty, a
two-thirds vote being necessary for its
ratification.
The Democratic minority made more
headway today in caucus IN reaching
a definite conclusion than ct any other
time this session. The Blackburn res
olution providing that whenever two
thirds Of those present at caucus
shall determine to support or oppose a
measure, such action shall be binding
upon every Democratic member, was
agreed to, though only after a spirited
discussion.
Senator Cockrell, Of Missouri, oppos-
ed it. He said that during the last
half century there had not been bind
ing caucus.
Senator Stone of Missouri. replied
that during fifty years the Democrats
had been in full control of all govern
mental branches but two years. He
thought it time there was unity of par
ty action, SO something might in the
future be accomplished.
Mr.. Cockerell said he was commit
ted to vote for the Cuban reciprocity
bill. He made speeches in favor of
reciprocity all through the state of
Missouri. He was so pledged that he
must vote for the measure or stand
stultified.
The tenor of all the speeches was
that party interest is superior to that
Of any state or of personal preference
and that senators must abide by eau
Gus decision or withdraw from the par
ty and account to their states there
fore. This rule makes mixed victory
for Senator German. He favored the
two-thirds rule. He is favorable to the
Cuban bill but opposed to the Panama
treaty.
Democrats regard the action Of the
caucus today as of more importance to
the Democratic party than any event
since the first election OF Grover Cleve-
land as president.
The Blackburn resolution provides
three exceptions where senators are
not bound by the two-thirds rule
These are: When senator is instruct
ed by his state legislature to vote for
or against certain proposition; when
senator believes proposed legislation
is unconstitutional, and when a sena-
tor has given campaign pledge to
vote certain way.

FACE TO FACE
Bob Ammon and 52OPer
Gent Miller.

New York, Dec. 15-During the pro-
ceedings held this afternoon in the
Fedora. building, Brooklyn, before
Thomas Tilney, referee in bankruptcy

nous 1920 per cent Franklin syndi-
cate, Robert G. Ammon and William
F. Miller, both now serving sentences
for frauds perpetrated in connection
with the business, met face to face.
For several hours Miller vas on the
stand, and Ammon was his examiner.
1t was evident that AEmon, the law
yer, convicted Of having shared in the
proceeds of the swindle operated by his
client, wished to force Miller to tell
about the mysterious proceedings
which surrounded the final smashup OF
the syndicate, but Miller was wary and
answered with great care.
Several times the mar Who operated
the syndicate refused to answer Am
mons questions and was sustained on
the. ground that old testimony vas be-
ing gone over, and that ii was new
facts that were sought.
Exasperated by Ammon's question
Miller finally became angry and ex-
claimed
Il tell you its no use. know just
what you want. All you want is ia
get some testimony out Of me that will
give you chance for new trial. Well
You won't get IT," His eyes blayed
as he defied the man he helped to send
to Sing Sing prison by testifying con.
corning their business relations. Am.
mon WAS calm. however.
Miller's father and mother. and Am.
mons daughter and wife were present
and number Of witnesses were call
ed, but little that is new was brought
out An adjournment was taken unit
December 20.
Miller, except under the excitement
caused by Ammon's questioning, seem.
ed listless and weak.

JACK MUNROE WON
OUT OVER Al,
LIMERICK
The Man from Butte Had
Things His Own Way.
THE LUMBERMAN ALL IN

Boston, Mass, Dec. 15.--Jack Num-
roe, from Butte, Mont, gained VIC
tory over AL Limerick, the lumberman
from Buffalo, N. Y, tonight In what
was to have been fifteen round bout
before the Criterion Athletic club.
Munroe from start to finish had things
pretty much his own way and when
the sponge was thrown in the ring
during the fourth round by Tom O.
Rourke, Limerick's manager, the lum-
herman was all in and utterly unable
to stand further punishment from the
miner.
At the opening of the first round
Limerick led with left to the face
and missed right swing for the head
and after rushing Munroe, the latter
drove right to the body and left
to the head, followed with a stiff right
to the Jaw as the gong sounded.
In the second round both spared
clumsily at the start. Munroe rushed
Limerick and sent left to the body
and right to the head, which partly
stunned Limerick He recovered suf-
ficiently to send left TO body as the
round ended a5'D'e 4J.E@ "jii
Munroe took advantage of his op-
ponend's condition and Immediately at
the start of the third sent hard
/ right to Limerick's wind which made
him vince. In rapid succession Jack
jabbed Al to the mouth with left and
fright sgings to the jaw. He then up
percut with his right and the round
ended. Limerick being covered with
blood and looking distressed while
Munroe smiled.
Limerick was refreshed to some
small extent in the fourth and opened
the round by rushing the miner. Mum
roe was much too quick, however, and
before the lumberman landed, Munroe
sent a left to the face, following IL
with left and right in the same place.
A clinch came next and Munroe drove
a!hard right to the jaw Limerick drop
ping his hands as he staggered about
the ring. Munroe followed him and
showered blows upon him. Limerick
again tried to clinch. but Munroe
hammered him with left and right to
face, which sent him against the ropes
and then to his knees Regaining his
feet, the lumberman reeled around the
ring and just as the western miner
was about to continue the fusilade of
blows, O'Rourke threw up the sponge.

A DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
Today on Cuban Reci-
procity Bill.

senate put in practically the whole
day discussing the Cuban reciprocity
bill. Mr.. Perkins, of California, IA
vored the bill, as lie failed to see how
the Cuban sugar could hcrt the sugar
industry of this country. The inpor-
tation of Cuban oranges and lemons
would cut small figure, on account of
the vast success of this crop in Cali
fornia and Florida. The discussion
will continue all day tomorrow. to the
exclusion of everything else. Mr..
Spooner of Wisconsin will make the
closing speech in favor of the bill.
Under the agreement the vote is to
be taken tomorrow before adjourn
ment and as several speeches are like
ly to be made, the chances are that a
recess and evening session will be
necessary.
The house talked on tariff, Pana-
ma, and all sorts of things, under the
lititude given in committee Of the
whole, ostensibly on the pension ap-
preparation BILL which by the way,
was not even alluded to. The house
adjourned at 3:45 p. m.
