JENKINS DEFEAT
BLOW TO CANNON

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Sumner,
in his Washington letter to
the Record-Herald, says:
''Down here in Washington,
close to the wheels that make
for or against constructive
and progressive legislation,
they call the condition which
resulted in the defeat Of Con.
gresham John j. Jenkins in
the Wisconsin primaries the
Cannon blight Represen-
tative Jenkins is one of the
big men in the present lower
branch of congress. Person
ally, his defeat for renomina-
ton will be regretted, be
cause he is a most likable gen
tleman, popular with all who
came in contact with him in
asocial way. Moreover, Mr..
Jenkins is a man who is given
credit for the courage Of his
convictions, but it happens
that those convictions have
run afoul of policies which
during the last few years
have appealed strongly to the
masses of the people.
LAS chairman of the house
judiciary committee-one OF
the most important commit
tees of congress, and one
made especially important by
the peculiar attitude Of
Speaker Cannon toward var
ious measures in the recent
past-Mr. Jenkins has stood
as barrier to the enactment
of legislation recommended
by President Roosevelt.
Graveyard and 'morgue' are
two of the suggestive names
that have been bestowed on
this committee. Things came
to pass last winter where it
was the general expectation,
when a measure embodying a
Roosevelt reform idea was in
troduced, that it would be re-
ferred by the speaker to the
judiciary committee, there to
be throttled or buried on the
grounds of unconstitution-
atty.
cat this distance the de-
feat of Mr.. jenkins looms
larger than a row between the
still bitterly arrayed factions
in Wisconsin. 1t is regarded
as forecast of things that
may happen in other sections
Of the country before the peo-
pie get through expressing
themselves. This particular
case typifes the situation
which is giving the managers
of the Republican congress
sional campaign worry over
the possibility of the Demo
cratic house in the next con-
gress, or at least the possibil-
i4y of such a reduced majority
that it cannot be controlled
by the crowd which has dom
mated during latter years.
Undoubtedly Jenkins OPP
pOnents could not have beat
en- him this time had it not
been so strongly developed
that he has been one of the
bulwarks Of the Cannon ma
chine, which practically has
controlled the course of leg
islation overthe actual wishes
of a majority of the Republi-
can rank and file in the house.
The country has learned that
the defeat of several of the
Roosevelt policies has been
due to opposition of Uncle
joe
Uncle joe has known
that whenever a bill bearing
the Roose welt brand--one
which he did not like himself

Openly-was introduced, it's
reference to the judiciary
committee, of which Mr.. Jen-
kins happened to be chairman,
would settle it's fate. Repre-
sentative Jenkins convic-
tions as to what is unconsti-
tutional have generally coin
cided with the Cannon ideas
of what should not be passed.
"Bills affecting labor and
the process of injunction, the
measures affecting interstate
shipment of liquor, bills to
create great reserves in the
eastern ranges of mountains,
have struck the constitution
al snag interposed by Chair
man Jenkins of the judiciary
committee. Singularly enough
every important bill that has
struck that sn"g has been one
which it Wis g 'neral y under
stood Speaker Cannon, aside
from the fact that he is Il law
yer, as his biop raphy records,
| did not want to become q law
Of the land.
''rhe climax was reached
when the elaborate measure
to amend the interstate COM
merce, act framed by the No
tional Civic federation in con-
| junction with leading labor
representatives and econo-
mists on lines embodying the
recommendations of Presi :
dent Roosevelt, was intro
lduced at the last session by
Representative Hepburn OF
Iowa, author of the original
rate regulation law. Instead
of referring the bill to the
committee on interstate and
and foreign commerce, of
which Col. Hepburn is chair
man. and to which almost
everybody looked for it to go,
Speaker Cannon committed it
to the care of the judiciary
committee-to the graveyard
of the house. Right then
every body, from the White
house down, gave up hope.
"a far more important
question than that concern
ing the personal fortunes OF
| Representative Jenkins that
arist S as an echo of his de-
feat is that as to the extent
to which the opposition to
Cannon standpattism and do
nothingism will operate
throughout the country and
particularly the middle west.
Long before the national con.
ventions were held this year
they began making the issue
out in Kansas-Cannon and
anti-Cannon. A pledge that
the candidate would not vote
for Cannon for speaker was
made a condition upon which
supporters would cast their
votes. The thing went be-
yond the congress district
lines and assisted in the de-
feat of Senator Long at the
primaries.
Gin Missouri the Kansas
City Star came out shortly
after the Chicago convention,
vrging it's readers to vote for
Taft electors and to vote fo1
Democratic candidates for
congressman as a rebuke to
| Cannonism. With labor lead
ers fighting Cannon, with the
temperance and some Of the
church people on his heels,
lseveral of those members OF
congress who are tied to the
Cannon organization are on
the anxious seat.

Senator Carter Speaks on Bill
For Their Establishment Re-
ported by P. 0. Committee.
RESPONDS TO THEIR DEMAND.

Washington, May Postal Savings
banks was the subject of an address in
the senate today by Senator Carter Of
Montana. Mr.. Carter spoke upon the
bill to establish postal savings banks
recently reported by the committee on
postotiices and post roads.
The pending bill, he said, proposes to
subject the machinery of the postoffice
department TO an additional worthy,
beneficent and consistent use.
1T does not" he said contemplate
the employment of additional force in
the postoffices. the purchase of more
equipment nor the imposition of any
burdens of expense"
The power TO provide for the general
welfare contained in the Constitution,
he quoted as a complete authority for
adding saving bank feature to the
postal service which had first been es-
tahlished under very restricted bonds.
THE bin said Mr.. Carter re
spends to the long continued and earn
est demand of the people for the use of
the postoffices as savings repositories.
To begin, the postmaster general may
confine the repositories to the presiden-
tial offices only and later exteno the
system 10 the full authorized limits.
Accounts may be opened by any per-
son over the age of 10 years and by a
trustee for a person under that age.
a deposit OF $40 or more may be made
and increased by 10 cents or multiples
of that amount. No deposits shall ever
be allowed to exceed $1,000 and interest
will not b. paid on sum in excess
of $500. Interest at the rate OF per
cent per annum is TO be allowed"
The deposits in turn are to be placed
In government repositories near the

TIT DEAD.


Eva Berg, SO years old.
Samuel Sach, 10 years of age.
Hattie Kopelmann, 2le years of age
Unidentified man.
The fire was first seen by police
man when the flames We're shooting
from windows in the lower part of the
house. His call for help brought sew
eral other officers to his assistance and
in moment nearly every one in the
house had been aroused and the fire
escapes were choked with frightened
tenants. The policemen carried sew
eral children to the ground before the
firemen arrived. BY that time the fire
escapes We're so packed with men,
women and children that no one could
get down.
While persons in the building who
were unable to get out because all the
windows leading to the fire escapes
were crowde dstruggles for exit on one
side, the tiremen on extension ladders
labored on the other. one by one wom-
en- and children were dragged from the
overloaded platforms by the fremen
and carried down the extension ladders
to the street and safety. More than a
hundred persons We're taken from the
fire escapes In this way.
In the meantime those who had been
forced to remain in the blazing house
had been having serious time Some
of them, finding escape by windows and
stairways blocked, sought TO get out on
the roof Not one of them succeeded

flames had swept up the stairWays and
