With Reference to Alleged
Tammany Deal
By JOHN cALLAN o'LAUGHLIN

II Special Dispatch to The Call
-- CHICAGO. Nov 1.-THE insurgents
are busily engaged in preparing to give
Speaker Cannon the experience of his
life during the coming session. of con-
gress. Not only do they propose to
harass and embarass him in every pos
.sible way in connection with legisla-
tion, but It is. their intention to put
him on the rack with reference to the
charges made recently by Congressman
Herbert Parsons of New York.
/ Immediately after the house of rep
resentatives shall convene a resolution
will be introduced directing the: ap-
@pointment of a special committee for
the investigation of the Parsons state
ment Whether the allegations be true
or false. tits expected an impartial in
quiry Will bring to light sensational
information which Will be damaging to
the speaker.
CHARGES BY PARSONS
1t Will be recalled that Parsons al
legged that deal had been made be-
tween Fammany leaders and upstate
republicans of New York whereby in
return for Tammany support of the
spea ker and the rules. OF the house GER
tain legislation to. prevent election
frauds would be; killed at Albany The
legislation has remained tucked away
in. the: pigeon holes of the state capitol
and four Tammany democrats voted to
adopt the existing Reed rules.

he had any knowledge of a Tammany-
republican. deal Parsons declared he
was in a position to prove what he said.
1t is worth. while to study the vote
by which the speaker was elected and
the rules adopted. Cannon received 204
votes and Champ Clark, the democratic
leader, 166 votes; Representative
Cooper of Wisconsin eight fnsurgent
votes. with four other votes scatter
ing. There never was any doubt as to
the result so far as the speakershfp
was: concerned following the decision
of the president not to take part in the
anti Cannon movement.
FIGHT OVER RULES
A different situation presented itself.
however, In connection with the motion
for the adoption Of the rules. In spite
of the most earnest, energetic cam
paig gning on the part of the speaker and
his 1ieutenants they were unable TO
hold the Cannon speakership vote. 1t
was necessary. il the rules were to be
adopted. to have democratic support
The vote, as finally registered. showed
1914 members in favor of the adoption of
the rules and 1873 against such action.
Included in the ayes were Representa-
tives Conry, Fornes. Goldfogle and
Riordan of New York city. all stanch
Tammany men. Had these four men
followed the lead of the head of their
party in the house. Champ Clark, the
vote would have been 100 for and 1872
against the adoption of the rules.
1t is the purpose of the insurgents
to obtain as complete an explanation as
possible of the peculiar motives which
influenced the Tammany democrats to
desert their party at critical moment.

Former Adviser of Prince Ito
Throws Light Upon Con- !;
ditions at Seoul

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Nov. 1.-Prof.
George Trumbul1 Ladd OF this city, for
a time confidential adviser of the late
Prince Ito. in a statement today ON
the facts leading up to the assassinas-
tiou of the prince, said recent news
from Seoul reported plan on the part
of. certain Korean litterati to assassi-
nate Homer B. Hubert, and that men
have been hired for the purpose.
The ground of revenge on Hubert is
the charge that he persuaded the Ko-
rean emperor to dispatch an embassy
to The Hague. and in so doing became
in the eyes of the litterati the arch
enemy of Korea
These latter facts, Professor Ladd
said, would explain how il is that Ger
tain parties in Seoul expect the assassi-
nation TO bring about foreign inter-
vention, especially from the United
States.
