INSURGENTS HAVE
REGULARS ON HIP
LEASTWISE THEY THINK THEY
HAVE WITH HELP OF
DEMOCRATS.
CLAIM 80 REPUBLICAN VOTES
AND TO FROM THE INTER-
RlFlED.

Washington, March 13.-There
were important developments yester-
day in the insurrection against the
adoption of the old house rules.
A compromise, fathered by Senator
Cummins of Iowa, and presented to
the regulars by President Taft, failed
to unite the republican members.
The compromise was one that the
insurgents have had under consid-
GRAFTON ever since the report became
current that Mr.. Tat desired post
ponement of the fight on the rules
lest it might delay the passage of the
tariff bill. 1t provided for the re-
election of Speaker Cannon and the
adoption of the rules of the sixtieth
congress for the special session. Aft
er the organization of the house on
Monday it was provided that the res
olution should be passed authorizing
the committee to investigate the rules
and report on the proposed changes
at the regular session in December. 1t
was proposed that the insurgents
should be allowed to name four OF
their number for the committee, the
democrats six, the regulars five.
For the regulars, former Represen-
tative Watson of Indiana replied that
tho compromise was acceptable il
amended so as to allow the speaker
to appoint the committee, due regard
being given to the insurgents in its
composition. The leaders of the
insurgents" subsequently declared
they would accept no such sugges-
ton. 1t is believed that President
Taft will exert his influence to bring
the two branches of the party togeth-
er, however.
For more than two hours the steer
ing committee of the insurgents.
were in conference with the commit
tee representing the democrats.
The insurgents" it is said, con-
WINGED the democrats that they could
deliver 80 votes for any proposition
they desired to make Monday. The
democrats promised to furnish 10
votes against the previous question
motion on the adoption of the old
rules AS 195 will be majority, the
allied forces claimed a victory.
The program tentatively agreed up
on by the allies was to vote down the
previous question on the adoption of
the rules Monday, and if the amend
ment to the rules providing for a
committee Ito select a committee is
voted down to propose that the COM
mittee on rules be elected by the
house. The democratic conferees
are said to have expressed the assur-
ance that they could line up the en-
tire democratic delegation for the
latter amendment, but were not so
certain as to the former.
The regulars claim to have prom
ises of several democrats not to vote
with their party for the various
amendments and they deny that the
"insurgent" forces will number 80.
Both the democrats and ~insur.
gents say no serious attempt will be
made to defeat Mr.. Cannon for speak
er.

CITY'S POPULATION PLACED
AT 126,367 BY CAPT. CLAYTON

In what he believes to be a very con-
sentative estimate Capt. r. M. Clayton,
the city engineer. figures that on the jan
uary /, Greater Atlanta will have a pop
ulation Of 126,367.
Captain Clayton has not made this es-
innate just to please a passing fancy. 1t
became necessary for him to hazard an
opinion on the citys population when, in
response to a request from L. f. Nc
Clelland. the census supervisor for the
Fifth congressional district, he began
the preparation of a map which would
divide the citys territory into enumer-
ating sections, each to have approx
mately 1900 population.
In order to arrive at some sort OF def
mite estimate Captain Clayton secured the
city registration lists of last fall-which,
owing to the interest in the mayoralty
and gubernatorial races, were the heaviest
in the history of Atlanta-and to ascer-
tain the white population he multiplied
the total registration by FIVE. it being
generally accepted that there are an
average Of five persons to each family.

FATHER FOLLOWS SON
BY SHOOTING HIMSELF

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. %.-An the
thankfulness Of his heart turned cold
with the knowledge that he probably
would have to spend the rest Of his life
as an invalid Charles NJ. Widemeier
slipped from his bed early this morning
and fired a bullet into his head in the
same fashion as did son two years ago.
He was 20 years old.
The Widemier history is replete with
sorrows and reversals of fortune. He
was a pioneer business man of Baden,
came to st. Louis from Germany In the
golden years after the civil war, and his
business soon netted him a fortune.
Luck was with him, and in a few years
he had managed to accumulate wealth
enough to keep him IN affiuence. Sud
denly, however. his plans began to go
awry. Investments turned out badly,
and in a few more years he was prac-
tically a poor man. other misfortunes
followed. The climax came with the sui
eide of Tony Widemier, the favorite son.
For the last month Weidemier had been
SO i'll he required the constant attentions
of nurse.

JUDGE KoNTZ TALKS.
Judge E c. Kontz one Of the most prac-
teal as well as enthusiastic workers for
the Agnes Scott fund, declared. in speak
ing Of the movement Monday:
IT am interested in higher education for
women.
THE conditions OF this subscription Of
fer rs the development OF an institution
of the highest class at a minimum local
EXPENSE. I believe the obtaining Of the
$3.50. 900 for Agnes Scott win mean at least
a quarter of a million a year to the bust
ness OF the community. I believe, with
Thornwall Jacobs, that Atlanta's future
is not based. as is the case with most
large aind prosperous cities, on navigable
waters, water power, coal, iron, precious
metals or farming, but on the healthful-
ness of her location and the furnishing OF
the best in education.
Atlanta has succeeded in many things
great expositions, concerts. auto races
etc, but has had too many failures In
the past along the same lines as this pres
ent movement
we should not regard ngntly the con-
sequences OF failure in this matter for
believe that failure in this would be a
blow to the highest aspirations Of the peo-
pie along educational lines, from which
We would not soon recover.
II do not believe that people generally
understand that these subscriptions are
to be met in three payments, the last in
December, 1911.
Sam Inman has done too much for
Atlanta for us to permit him to be disap-
pointed IN the cause in which he has been
| so liberal and in which his whole heart
| is so thoroughly engaged"

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 2s.-Former
Gov. r. B. Glenn, of North Carolina,
made two addresses here Sunday in
behalf Of the home mission work Of the
Southern Presbyterian church, and of
the Laymen's Missionary movement. In
an interview, he said with regard to the
political situation:
'Judson HARMONY governor of Ohio,
will be the next presidential nominee OF
the Democratic party, in my judgment.
Everywhere have been in my tour of
the country have found Harmon as the
leading candidate in public and party
opinion.
IT am of the opinion that the south
should demand that the next vice presi-
Dental candidate of the Democratic party
be a southern man. We do the voting.
and we ought to be represented on the
ticket.
THE war is over. and the people of
the north, I believe, will support q
southern man as readily as any other"

TRIP AROUND WORLD

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.--That It is as

from one city to another in the United
States is the opinion of Mrs. w. F..
Goodspeed and Miss Helen DeshIer, both
of Columbus, Ohio, who have just ar

circling tour. Mrs. Goodspeed and Miss
Dashler were at the Seattle exposition
and decided to return home via Japan,

courtesy everywhere and the attentions
shown them were such that they don't
consider the journey a remarkable one.

F. Havill, editor of a newspaper pub
lished here, spent his Thanksgiving in
Jail, but he is still editing. He is not
downcast. With a defiant blue pencil he
wrote the principal headlines which ap-
peared on the first page OF his paper yes
terday:
"Havil in the coop"
That's the way he feels about it. Scorn-
ing to ask for his release on bond he
has chosen to serve his 60-day sentence
on a charge of criminal libel, and he has
transformed his cell into sanctun.
The only concessions made to HaviH by
the jailer are that he is permitted to have
a table on which to edit his paper, and
that reporters. sub-editors and copy boys
are permitted to visit him at all hours.

WRIGHTSVILLE PLANTERS
HARVEST GOOD CROPS

WRIGHTSVILLE, Ga, Nov. rs
Johnson county farmers have experienced
the most prosperous year in the history
of the county Fairly good cotton crops
have been made and marketed at a good
price.
A large number of our farmers were
abundantly able to hold their cotton.
while very few have done so. there be-
ing less than LOCO bales held in ware
houses at this point at present. Farmers
have no inclination to increase their cot
ton acreage in 1910, but are sowing so
per cent more grain than has been sown
in this county in years, which necessarily
means a reduction in acreage, unless the
grain crops are killed by cold during the
wiptaE.
