Fourth District Congressman
Reported to Possess Fed
eral Pie Knife
THE SLATE is IN DANGER
Senator Allison Delays the Caucus =
N. L. Temple is Losing Ground =
Archie Smiths Position Said to Be
WobbIy-Birdsall Not Saying Much.

q. C. Wellever in Sioux City Tribune)
Washington, Feb. fudge Birdsall,
congressman from the Third districs,
begins to loom up as the coming man
aging politician of the Iowa delegation.
He has taken an active and useful
part in the effort to straighten out the
patronage tangle. as he did also last
summer at the state convention, where
he was the real initiator and leader of
the effort to use the delegations influ-
ence to prevent the attempt to steal
the convention from Cunmins. His
skillful handling Of the delicate situa-
ton won him the appreciation of his
associates and greatly strengthened his
hand and he is now being pushed to the
front in the patronage fight.
Judge Birdsall does not tell much
about his ideas as to the proper adj
justment but 1t is known that he be-
lieves that the time is come for the
Dolliver and Curnmins forces to get
together, that he doubts whether the
original slate can go thru without
change and thai he is not popular with
the Iowa advocates of the old political
order.
The Judge had long talk yesterday
afternoon with Senator Allison, at the
In nj w atAN cd
that instead of conference today to
discuss the patronage, the delegation
would wait several days longer. Sen
ator Allison, it was explained, would
not be able to give the time today, but
the opinion is that there will be an
advocates of delaying action till after
the end Of the session have a good
chance to carry their point.
1t can be set down as quite likely
that Archie Smith will lose his posi-
ton as revenue collector. Things may
change and he may be saved, but at
present the tendencies are all against
him.
The immense showing of Eighth dis
trict support Of Miller, of Bedford, for
the district attorneyship, has caused
shock, too. Every lawyer in Cres-
ton but one strongly Endorsed Miller
and In other counties the showing is
almost as strong. Temple at one time
had wonderful strength that was said
to include the name of every republican
in the legislature, but the tide has
turned as the impression became fixed
that there was chance to break the
old slate and today Temple is fast
losing ground.

Preparations Being Made for Homo for

Iowa City, Feb. 7.-Preparations are
being made here to have house for
the members of the honorary athletic
fraternity next fall. Back Of this an
nouncement is the story of how the
edict of the western conference with
reference to train tables is to be abol-
ished. None but students in the uni
versity who have won their CT are
eligible to membership in the frater-
nifty which heretofore has had rooms
in the university gymnasium but has
never made any attempt at having a
house of their own on account of the
fact that many of the members are
already inmates Of other fraternity
homes in the city. Nearly all of the
members of the football squad have
already received their CT and those
who have not will come under the head
Of initiates until they have won their
emblem letter. This will entitle them
to board in the house and to all in
tents and purposes the old training ia
BILE will have returned to the university
There will be one change, however,
and that is that the athletic funds will
gay no part of the players board as
in former years. The individual men,
bers of the organization will pay their
own board.

motion made yesterday citing the pub

Of the county to appear for examina-
ton regarding certain articles pub
lished therein, which it is proved were
written by Judge Wade, one of the

The application for change Of venue
was filed and a hearing on the appli-
cation was fixed Cor February IA.
Judge Ransier, newly elected judge,

manner and makes a fine impression.

ment in the case prefering to UNDER
stand the subject from all sides before

by the contestants requiring that the
proponents be brought in for exam

prejudice existing in Grundy county.
The motion, as far as it related to
the proponents, was overruled by the
court.

that several articles which were pub

were prepared by the law firm OF
which M. j. Wade is a member. The
court also cited the publishers of the
