UNCLE JOE EXPLAINS.
Tells Why CaIderhead and Fordney
Were Made Conferees.

Washington, July 10.-The explana-
ton was made today on behalf of
Speaker C-nn that the controlling
motive with him in selecting the house
conferees on the tariff bill had been the
question of location. His chief desire
was that all sections of the country.
especially interested in the tariff should
have representation on the committee.
Finding that the middle west had half
the population, half the wealth, half
the volume of production and especial
ly that half of the Republican repre-
sentation of the house hailed from that
section, he decided it should have
larger representation on the conference
than it possibly could have If the con-
ference committee had been compos-
ed according to the rule of precedence
among members Of the house ways and
means committee.
If the conferees had been selected
according to that system, the Mississippi
valley country would have been rep
by Mr.. Boutelle alone, while
the eastern states would have had four
representatives, including two from New
England. This the speaker considered
would be an unquitable distribution
He therefore, passed over Mr.. Hill,
Conn., and placed Mr.. CaIderhead, Kan,
and Mr. Fordney, Mich. on the COM
mittee. Mr.. Needham. Cal, was left
off. according to the explanation, be-
cause the Pacific coast has very few
interests that are involved in the pend
ing bill
According to Mr.. Cannon's theory,
the North Atlantic, the South Allan
tic and the Mississippi valley sections
were the principal divisions that are
concerned about the tariff at this time
His selection gave three Republicans
to the eastern states, three Republicans
to the middle west and three Demo-
Gratis to the south.
The speakers friends declare that in
this distribution his concern was not
with reference to the character of the
bin so much as it was to the geograph-
ical location of the conferees.
The amendment were taken up today
IN their numerical order and all Of those
which appeared likely to provoke ar
zument were passed for consideration !
later. It is estimated there are fewer |
than 200 amendments. which will be the
subject of serious differences.

Want NO FIGHT.
National Bankers Not Commit
ted on Special Session.
Don't Say They Desire One
Called.
ARE WILLING TO HELP
However to Secure Harmony
For All Banks.
Special Session Question Likely
to Be Decided on Soon.

The impression has been conveyed
that the national bankers now want
special session of the legislature
called in order to iron out the diff
f1culties between the bankers. This
is hardly the case. The national
bankers, through the board of direc-
tors of their insurance association
have expressed themselves as being
willing to abide by the action of the
legislature II that body passed an
equitable law placing both classes of
banks on an equal footing. But this
expression can hardly be construed
to mean that the nationals favor the
calling Of a special session.
President Arnes of the insurance
association sent out the following
telegram to the twenty-four directors
of the organization this week:
'If the governor calls a special
session will you use your efforts to
secure a law that Is just and
equitable to both national and state
bankers and will place both on an
equal footing?"
He received replies from twenty
replies were in the affirmative while
few were non-committal or
qualified. But there is nothing in
these expressions of views that can
be construed to mean that the ma
tionals' want a special session Of the
Speaking today of the situation
President Ames said:
1.-THE national bankers are not
looking for a fight with the stated
banks or the administration. All we
ask is to be placed on the same foot
ing with the state banks"
If the nationals are not looking. for
a fight, but rather are in a receptive
frame of mind, then there is no
necessity at all for a special session
of the legislature. The public were
informed some days ago by the ad-
that q special session
was necessary for the reason that the
national bankers had on their fight
ing clothes and would not recede an
inch from their position of paying
more than three per cent interest on
deposits. AS the state banks were
restricted to three per cent by the
state guaranty law the special session
talk began right there and was based
on that phase OF the controversy.
Now come the nationals and de- |
clare that they want to be placed on |
the same basis as the state banks IN |
everything relating to the guaranty |
Of deposits, each working under the
constitution Of different guaranty as
sociations. The constitution for the |
state banks has already been written |
by the legislature. The national
bankers have written their charter,
but the insurance commissioner can
revise it before he issues a permit
for them to do business in the state.
IF the nationals accept the amend
ment to their constitution without re-
sort to the courts then the matter is
settled and the ruling of the com
missioner and attorney general al
ready secured for the national banks
Insurance charter and the equal foot
Ing desired now by both banking fac
tons will have been secured.
Governor Stubbs will likely decide
between now and next Tuesday as to
whether or not he will call a special
session.

AITCHISON SUSPENDED.
Brennan VIII Report at Des MOines
Holland Wants NcNIanus.

Des Moines. Ia, July 10.-Manager
Holland of the Wichita team today
announced the indefinite suspension
of Pitcher Raleigh Aitchison. Both
Aitchison and Brennan missed the
train at Kansas City and their where
abouts was unknown for several days.
Holland however received word last
night that the two were in Kansas
City. Brennan has been ordered to
report at once while Aitchison will
have an opportunity to spend his time
where he pleases.
Although nothing can be learned
from the Wichita officials, it is
rumOred that the relations between
Aitchison and Holland are not as
friendly as they might be, although
the exact nature of the trouble is not
known
Holland has signed young PIympton
who was with the Central association
last season and who had a pretty
good record. He Is also trying to Sc
cure the release of Frank McManus

Floods and excessive rains in the

prospects are that famine prices will
prevail before the Wisconsin and

TWO TRAINS PILED UP.
Collision Between an EIks' Special and
a Freight.

Salt Lake. Utah, July 1O.-Three
trainmen are missing and are believed
to be buried under the wreckage of ex-
ira stock train No. 1889 eastbound.
which went into a head on collision
with the Twin City Elzs' special train,
westbound, at mile post 511, east of
White Horse, Utah. at 4 o'clock this
morning. In addition to these two
trainmen are injured, one seriously.
No passengers were killed or injured,
though they were badly shaken up.
The collision resulted from q misun-
derstanding of orders and an order in
tagging. Both engines were thrown
from the tracks and piled in a, heap of
scrap iron. One baggage car of the
Elks' special was smashed to splinters
and five double deck stock cars loaded
with sheep piled in a confused heap
along the track.

Some people seem to think I

whether or not there is need of a
special session. If there is necessary
work to do for the good of the state.
why not call it? That is what the Leg

Il have not yet made up my mind
what I will do in this case. [ shall
go ahead and get all the information
1 can and by Monday or Tuesday of
next week I will have made up my
mind whether or not to issue the call.
