HOSTILE COMMITTEE
 WILL BE AVOIDED
By the Bill to Remove the IneIigibility of Senator Knox.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The house leaders, favorable to the adoption of the senate bill reducing the salary of the seeretary of state to sS,000 year in order to make Senator Knox eligible for the position, have evolved scheme to avoid sending the bill to the house committee on judiciary, which is said to be opposed to the measure.
 The bill was not offered to the com mittee today, and in explanation it leaked out that the committee on the election of vice president and president intended to cover the subject. This would make it possible to substitute the house measure for that of the sen ate and no reference to the committee would be necessary.
 The telegram of President Taft to Senator Hale urging legislation to make Senator Knox eligible, has worked a great change of sentiment in the house. Even the members of the judiciary committee who believed the bill to be inefficient in removing the ineligibility of MT. Knox expressed their intention to vote for the senate bill since the president-elect so de- sires it.

The Representative Admits
 That He is a Friend ;of William Nelson Cromwell Who Was Among the In- jured by Worlds Charges.

Washington, Feb. 12-Representative Rainey of Illinois from the New York World has information regarding the Panama Canal affairs which formed the subject of his recent speech that ex-convicts investigated the stories of fraud and corruption pertaining to the requirement of title by the the charge made in the House by MT. Lowering of Mass. today. It maybe" he said,,
 That the World did not originate all the scandalous stories it publish ed, but it's columns were public and we do know that the World did give credence and circulation to them"
 MT Lowering declared the "perpe- ttrators the false statements are known and the story of their doings reveals a chapter in the history of black mailing that is rare in the annals of crime"
 These Gentlemen, He said" are known. and their names are known, their alias are known. Their haunts are known and their plans are known"
 Does the gentleman object to stating who they are? Inquired Mir. Burleson of Texas"
 Mir Lowering protested that he was laboring under great difficulties be- cause of the absense of Mr. Rainey | from the chamber. He admitted that he did not notify the Illinois member that he was to speak on this sub ject.
 T want to say, "he said, that these men have been run down and brought to book and it turns out that many of them are ex-convicts and they stand a good chance of re- turning to the penitentiary." He was pressed by Mir. Shaokle- ford of Missouri, for information as to who these convicts were. but Mir. Lowering would go no farther than to state that before long they would be produced in court.
 Their names, he said, had been brought before the grand jury, both at Washington and New York, and at the proper time they would be- come known to the general public.
 How do you happen to be famil- far with these secrets of the grand Ijury" Mir. Shackleford asked but be- fore he could answer, Mir. Gaines of Tennessee inquired if he was not a warm personal friend of William Nelson Cromwell.
 MT. Lowering admitted that he was. Responding to question by Mir. Shackleford the Mass member said he personally was not client of MT Cromwell but a member of a | Corporation that Retained his ser lvices. He refused to say how long Cromwell had been so employed. He merely stated that he was not put ting himself in the position of being interrogated by a court of justice. Further referring to Mir. Rainey MT. Lowering said: This gentlemen

MIR. TAkAHIRA's TRIBUTE
The Great Emancipator From the 70 Japanese Angle

Peoria, Feb. 12.-Declaring that his country entertained the most friendly and grateful sentiments towards the United States, and that such a thing as war between this country and Japan was an impossibility, Baron Takahira, the Japanese ambassador to the> United States, delivered the principal address tonight at the Creve Couer clubs banquet in honor of the contented of the birth of Abraham Lincoln.
 Charles Magoon, former provisional governor of Cuba, Curtis Guild Jr., governor of Massachusetts and Prof. John Clark Freeman were the other speakers.
 Ambassador Takahira was enthus- iastically received. In his address he gave brilliant eulogy of the life of the grea temancipator from a foreign point of view, concluding with a tribute to the golden rule of diplo- macy as exemplified by Lincoln and Hay In this category of statesmen, he placed Theodore Roosevelt, owing to the Presidents efforts to stave off the anti-Japanese legislation on the Pacific coast.
 The speaker referred to the Japanese immigration matter, saying:
 We readily consented to the adjust ment of the question under certain conditions by limiting the immigration of laborers to the minimum, and as a consequence it has been greatly re- duced. notably since last July. and it is found that during the latter half of 1908 the number of Japanese immi- grants who returned to Japan from the continental United States was larger than the number of those who arrived in this country by 2,10O. The number of those who returned to Japan from the Hawaiian islands was also in ex- cess of those who arrived there from Japan by 1,500.
 While it is not certain how long this condition will continue, it is pos sible that every half year hereafter for some years will witness a decrease of Japanese residents in this country in about the same proportion"
