MAY CHANGE HEPBURN
Chief Opponent of Rate Legislation
May Be Given Another

Washington. d. c., March 16.--Much
talk is heard lust now who is to be the
successor to Chairman Hemenway of
ti,e house committee on appropriations,
who has succeeded Vice President Fair
banks as senator from Indiana. There
is u possibility that this Influential post
will be given to Representative Hep
burn of Iowa. He is being mentioned
Tor the place and some of his friends
said today his name would be presented
To Speaker Cannon for favorable con-
siderution in case il is decided to keep
Representative McCleary of Minnesota
al The head of the District of columbia
committee.
If Colonel Hepburn should 90 to the
appropriations committee, the change
would mean that Representative Mann
OF Chicago would become the head of
the Interstate commerce committee of
the house and would have much to do
with the enactment of rate legislation
next session. The Importance of the
appropriations committee is great. In
either house the chairman holds high
rank. and is extremely influential.
should Colonel Hepburn get this place
ne will be the second Iowa man on
the appropriations COMMITTEES. Repre-
sentative Smith is already on that com

ing for nearly two days TO arguments.
of counsel in which all known deci-
sions bearing upon the subject were
cited, Judge Macy today overrued the
motions to quash the indictments in
the two criminal cases against Tom
Dennison. Dennison WAS represented
by his late attorneys ut Logan, Coch-
ran and Egan, and the state appeared
by County Attorney Fallon and Elmer
Thomas of Omaha. The indictments
We're attacked substantially on the fol
lowing grounds That certain induce
ments We're held out To the grand jury
of Harrison county With the view TO
persuade them to intiict Dennison. that
certain persons not connected With the
grand jury nor as witnesses had been
present i'm the jury room when the
jury was in session that County Al
tornev Fa!lon bad been furnished with
money by Omaha parties to bring wit
nesses from Il distance. and that the
grand jury was assured that Harrison
county would be at no expense if the
indictmcnts We're returned.
Motions Overruled.
Toe court ruled that the indictments
could not be aSSailed in the motions,
but that the same could only be used
by Dennison in the regular trial of his
cases before the jury.
Court was adjourned by consent of
counsel. Dennison MRS given until the
first day of the April term to plead
To the indictments.
Tom Dennson was knocked clear ont
of the box ut Logan yesterday. when
Judge Macy overruled his motion to
quash the indictments there pending
against him.
Both indictments were included in
the order of the court. One is for par
ticipating in the Shercliffe Pollock
robbery and the other is for receiving
the diamonds stolen by ShcrciGe at
that time.
Dcnnison's attorneys We're astonished
by the quick decision of the court, and
last night We're disconnected in the OK
t.'eme. The next move dictated by
their resourcefulncss has not yet been
decided
1t was ordered that DeMnison shall
plead to the indictments against him
at the sitting of the next term of
court which is i'm April. 1t will fail
on April H. it is said. AT that time.
If ever. Dennison must file his mo-
ton for a change of venue. 1T can
he oVerrulcd or sustained at once. so
that his trial could go forward imme-
diit.ely He mas been expecting to
staNe off the trial until next Septcm-
Der. at least but IL begins to look as
if he would be tried i'm April on at least
lne of HE indictments.
