The Administration
Refuses to Bulge.
SPEAKER AND INSURGENT CHIEF
HAVE A SERIOUS QUARREL
Opposition Still Claims It Has 63
Republicans Pedged--No Com
promise in Sight,

Washington, Jan. 13.-Speaker Can
non and Representative Babcock, of
Wisconsin, the latter the leader of the
insurgent forces in the house, had an
interesting meeting today in the
speakers room AS the result of Mr..
Rabcock's visit several interesting
stories were in circulation, some of
sensational character, which would in
dicate a serious breach between the
two gentlemen. That they differ in
their views upon the Philippine tariff
bill and the statehood bill has long
been evident, and it was in regard TO
these differences that the meeting oc-
CURED today, Mr.. Babcock took eX-
ception to an article appearing i'm the
newspapers, and preferred a request
that he be recognized on a matter of
personal privilege in the house to deny
it Tho conversation revealed the fact
that Babcock was under the impress
sion that the article had been instigat-
cd by the speakers friends.
He was assured that such was not
the case, and the interview terminated
without disclosing more than radical
differences as to the bills which are
now the chief topic of conversation
about the house.
d, The members of the insurgent fac
tion now maintain that SO republicans
are positively pledged to vote against
the proposed rule preventing the
amendment cf the Hamilton joint
statehood bill. The insurgents insist
that their forces are gaining strength
at rapid rate, and declare that the
trouble between Mr.. Rabcock and the
speaker has cemented them more
closely.
Under present conditions the consid-
GRAFTON of the Hamilton bill is said to
be out of the question.
The administration is still firm in
insisting on the passage of the joint
statehood bill without modification.
Compromise measures are no longer
considered by the insurgents and
statehood legislation seems at dead
lock at present

London, San 13-The political map
of England today underwent a strik-
ing change as result of parliamentary
elections held in SO constituencies in
widely scattered but important cen
ters, in which the liberals gained
eighteen seats. The laborites, who are
counted among the liberal gains, Sc
cured four new seats against unionist
candidates. In the eastern division of
Manchester Arthur J. Balfour, former
premier was defeated by T. c. Hor-
ridge, liberal, who was conceded even
by liberals weak candidate against
such a person as Mr., Balfour Mr.
Horridge secured the remarkable ma
iority of 1850. This victory. notwth-
standing the liberal predictions, was
decidedly sensational outcome of the
days polling and will, it is believed,
enormously effect the elections which
will continue for a fortnight
Winston Churchill. liberal and free
trader, won the seat for the northwest
division OF Manchester from w. john
sonHiclks, conservative, by majority
of 1.241.

and tunnels 1000 feet in length, by which
is utilized a typical mountain torrent with
a fall OF S35 feet The station contains
five groups of generators
The town of Lecco, one Of the highly
important tributaries of the Milan CONSUL
ate on account OF its extensive manufac-
tories of cheese, takes it's electric light and
power from water power fourteen miles
distant
The installation at Verona is slightly diff
ferent from these others. in that in that
city there exists a canal for industrial
purposes with fall OF about thirty-nve
OF factories. A part of the power OF this
canal Is utilized to generate n triphase cur
rent at tension OF 5000 volts, at a ten
sion of thirty-fYe horse power each. Con-
ditions at Vercelli, Novara and Pavia, all
commercial centers OF tributary importance
to Milan, are closely analogous to those at

divisions of the American Library assoc
citation. Miss Alice Tyler. secretary of the
Iowa Library commission has been elected
president of the League of Library Com
missions, and A. ]. Small, curator Of the
law department of the Iowa State Library,
has been elected president of the American
Association of Law Libraries. Both ssso-
Citations are affiliated with the American
Library association. 1t is considered quite
an. homer that Iowa should be given first
place in the officers lists of two Of the
AFFILIATED organizations, but in addition to
this Miss Tyler was~elected to a position
as a member of the council OF the Ameri-
can Library association. receiving the
largest vote of any OF the five who were
elected al the recent meeting of the asso-
citation at Narragansett Pier.
Mr.. A. ]. Small is the originator OF the
idea of an association of those connected
with law libraries. The association was
organized at the recent meeting of the
American Library association. Perceiving
the wide field OF usefulness for such an
association he wrote to nearly all the law
librarians in the United States and Can
ada. The result was the organization OF
the association. There are 800 law libra
ries in the United States and Canada.
The state law libraries Of Iowa, Wis
consin. New York. Indiana, Massachusetts,
Minnesota, Missouri, Maine, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania. and the law libraries of
Harvard university, Northwestern uni
versity Chicago university. University Of
Pennsylvania, University of Maine McGll
university, Yale university. Osgoode Hall
library, Toronto; the Baltimore, New York,
Cleveland and Chicago City Bar association
libraries and a number OF others are the
initial members OF the new association.
One of the arst and most dificult tasks
for the new association is to secure
index OF law publications such as the
Poole's Index OF the current and popular
magazines. 1t is recognized by lawyers
and law Librarians that this is one Of the
most important needs Of the lawyer, law
student and law librarian. There is now
no way of ascertainins what has been
written outside Of the text books except
by an exhaustive original research through
Law publications.
The list OF officers OF the new association
includes Andrew II. Hettee OF the Library
Company OF the Baltimore Bar as vice
president and Franklin o. Poole OF the
New York City Bar association law library
and a relative OF the editor OF Poole's
index Of current magazines.
Mr.. Small, who is honored with the presi-
dency OF the association, was at one time
a resident OF Fairfield. Ia, coming to Des
Mones some years ago and engaging in
manufacturing. Always having a taste for
the subject and is now recognized as being
