Prospects Good For Lively De-
bates in the Senate.

GaIASHINGTON, Jan. 3.--After a re-
w cess of more than two weeks the
senate viii resume business to-
morrow without any definite pro-
gramme. Indeed, it may be stated the
senate has no programme for the en-
tire session beyond the passage Of the,
appropriation bills. the consideration Of
the Panama canal treaty. the determin-
alton of Senator Shoots case and the
disposition of some other comparative
" minor matters
One Of the appropriations namely.
the pension bill, has. reached the SEN
ate and that has not yet been copsid-
cred in committee. 1t Is probable,
however, that It viii be reported at an
early date. The Panama canal treaty
also is in committee, and il also prob
ably viii be reported to the senate dur
ing the present week. The Smoot case
viii be proceeded with by the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, but
the indications are that some weeks
viii eiapse before the question can be
brought before the senate in regular
order.
Canal Treaty Debate.
Notwithstanding the fact that The
canal treaty is not at present In the
senate, there is little 6oubt that the
canal question viii form the leading
topic for discussion during the week.
Senator Lodge VIII speak on mis- sub
ject on Tuesday, and it is quite Ger
tain he viii be followed by other SEN
atOrs, especially by some who antag-
onize the attitude Of the administra-
ton. Senator Lodge viii uphold in an
elaborate speech the right of the pTesi-
dent to recognize the independence Of
Panama at the time and in the man
FER in which President Roosevelt gave
them recognition. Senator McCOmas
also has animated his intention to dis
cuss this subject
The committee is expected to report
the canal treaty by the middle of the
week. and it is the intention Of the
friends of the administration 10 press
its consideration. as rapidly as possible
with the idea of getting speeches out
OF the way and having the treaty dis
posed of as early as possible. With the
treaty once reported they viii make an
effort to confiue the discussion to the
executive sessions in the hope that 10y
so doing they will shorten the consid-
Grafton Of the question.
Wood Case Comes Up.

HEWLETT CHOSEN

MINOR APPOINTMENTS TO BE
CONFIRMED.
NEW REGIME BEGINS TODAY

noUNCILMAN Frank J. Hewlett of

president of the new city council
that goes into office today. This was
decided upon at a caucus attended by
the nine Republican members in the
Office Of Councilman-elect c. NJ. Neu-
hansen in the Dooly block yesterday
afternoon.
The election of Mr.. Hewlett. Nor
mon, in a caucus which contained six
non Mormons out of nine members
elect, was made possible through a
healthy scare to which Councilman
eject L. J. Wood vas subjected. At
least this is the story that was being
told last night. 1t was said that MIR.
Wood had agreed with some Of the
other nom Mormons to tie up the presi-
dency for an indefinite period rather
than give it to Hewlett. To avert the
threatened blockade A. J. Davis and
Hewlett assured Wood that they would
vote for Hartenetein or some other
Democrat in the event that Hewlett

the Democrats the presidency of a Re

A suggestion as to the course Of the
council with regard to any appoint

disclosed a considerable difference OF
opinion. One member gave it as his
opinion that no appointments should
be confirmed for at least thirty days,
or until the new members had gotten

was more talk along this line, and
while no formal action was taken it is
probable that all appointments win be
hung up in committee until Feb. l.
Vote is Taken.
The fight for the presidency was.
naturally, the most interesting feature
Of the caucus. The anti-Hewlett men,,
banking on a previous understanding,
were thoroughly convinced that no
election would be possible. When the
caucus was called to order the first
point raised was as to how the ballot
should be taken; that is. whether it
should be a secret or a viva voce bal
lot. The secret vote was decided upon
Then A. J. Davis placed the name Of
Mr.. Hewlett before the caucus. Mr..

Man Named Ellis Found Dead
on Mountain.
Is Supposed to Have Been Held Un bv
Hishwayman While Returning
Home.

A young man named Ellis is suppos-
ed to have been murdered some time
Friday on Basket mountain. near the
Fletcher sawmill in the Blue noun
tains. Ellis left the COckburn farm
early Friday to return to the home Of
his mother VINO lives several miles
south of Weston, and as he failed to
put in an appearance Saturday, his
mother became alarmed and several
wood choppers started out to search
for the missing man. Saturday night
they found the body lying in clump
of bushes on Basket mountain. An
examination revealed the fact that he
had been killed, a bullet wound being
found through mis- body. When Ellis
left the Cockburn ranch he had in his
possession $40. the amount of wages
he had earned while working for
Cockburn This was missing besides
gold watch that the dead man had
carried.
The authorities at PendletOn were
notified and the sheriff is now search
ing for the murderer.
Ellis was about 90 years of age and
lived with his mother on small noun
tain ranch about Is miles south of
Weston. He worked about the farms
in that locality and is said to have
been a sober and Industrious young
man.
1t is supposed that while coming
through the mountains Ellis was held
up by a highwayman who killed him
and then rifed his pockets. A number
of hard looking characters are said to
have been seen in the Blue mountains
in that locality during the past week,
and it is supposed that one of that
gang is the guilty person.
