ness administration of the city's af-
fairs. The city convention for the

pated in by all those present When
the vote was taken there was no dis
sent to the proposition to place a
party ticket in the field
Committeeman Dawson was promi-
nent in the discussion. He said that
| it was his opinion that the party was
strong enough to stand alone and that
| II 1t was not, the management Of the
affairs of the city should be turned
over to the other party. He was in
favor of a party campaign and then
there would be some organization re-
sponsible for the administration. He
believed that the city's experience had
not beetn satisfactory with citizens
movements.

need of business administration Of
its affairs. 1t was held that there are
good, level-headed men in the republi-
can party and that the party will
stand back of the candidates whom it

responsible to the party organization
for their official acts, the men select
ed will give the city the service which
the times and the existing conditions
demand The meeting was character
lied by harmony throughout and
every motion was carried without OPP
position.

HARTMAN PLANS A TRAFFIC
AGREEMENT BETWEEN ALL
RAILROADS.
MACNATE IS INTERVIEWED
Evidence Develops Indicating That
Proposed Mutual Agreement Plan
Will Be a Principal Subject Of Dis
cussion at Meeting Of Railway OFF,
ciaIs at Pasadena Soon.

Pasadena, Cal, March 15.-NotWith-
standing all the efforts that have beer
made to prevent pooling of railroad
interests and combinations among those
who control stocks of railroads, there
is evidence today that e. H. Hartman
has in mind a scheme to bring about
mutual understanding in regard tC
traffic arrangements between all rail-
roads of the country and uniformity
of rates that will operate greatly tc
the benefit of the stockholders, and
that the conference which is to be
held at Pasadena while Mr.. Hartman
is here will be concerned more or less
with the plan.
Not all of the railroad men who are
to take part in the conference, which
Mr.. Hartman still denies will be held
have arrived. and nothing of impor-
tance has yet been attempted. C. O.
Butterworth of the New York Central
road will arrive some time tomorrow
it is expected
Mr.. Hartman evidently expects con-
fidently that congress at the special
session will make some amendment to
the laws governing the interstate COM
merce commissions work which will
permit of the merger he now has in
mind. He seemed surprised today over
the fact that mention Of the matter
had not been made in the call for the
special session. Mr.. Hartman was
asked
How soon do you expect to be able
to resume work on improvements that
were contemplated before the panic?"
Aid for Weak.
You may say" he answered that
as soon as an amendment is passed
giving the interstate commerce COM
mission power to allow the railroads
to enter into a mutual agreement-that
Is, permitting the strong roads of the
country to extend their control and
protection over the weaker roads-just
so soon will long contemplated i'm
provements be taken up and rushed
through to completion.
"This means, of course, the expen-
diture of an immense amount of money
and eventually I believe it will result
in reduction in the cost and operation
and in charges.
"At the present time, you know,
there is clause in the law which pro-
hibits one road having any control over
a parallel or competing line. This is
what we want changed. 1t is a ques-
tion of the weaker and the stronger.
If the stronger are allowed to come to
the aid of the weaker roads there will
be a great betterment of conditions
all along the line and the employment
of thousands of men and the opening
of many new lines"
Asked as to whether this would
mean a marked reduction in rates. Mr.
Hartman said he preferred not to talk
of rate reduction.

YOUNGER SENATORS
TO THE FORE
DIXON AND OTHER WESTERNERS
GET PLACES ON IMPORTANT
SENATE COMMITTEES.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Washington, March 15.-The younger
progressive element among the repub-
lican membership of the senate scored
strongly today in the movement for a
more equitable distribution OF the pow
ers Of that body. For several months
there has been much agitation among
the new blood in the senate with the
avowed object in view of distributing
the work and power the senate. The
committee on committees is named at
the beginning of each congress, which
is absolute in it's power so far as the
makeup Of committees is concerned.
The committee on committees has
heretofore been controlled in it's men,
bership largely by eastern and New
England senators. The republican COM
mittee on committees announced to-
lay has six of the nine places filled
BY young western senators, including
Flint of California, Borah of Idaho,
Dixon of Montana, Sutherland of Utah.
McCumber of North Dakota and Cur
tbs Of Kansas.
The three eastern members are AL
drich, Crane of Massachusetts, and
Kean Of New Jersey. It is believed
that this recognition of young blood
in the senate will largely modify the
insurgent movement among republican
senators and result in fairer distribu-
ton of senatorial place and power.

WOMEN AND CHILDREN
ARE RUTHLESSlY
SLAUGHTERED

st. Petersburg, March 15.-A
dispatch to the Novoe Vremya from
Jutfa, on the frontier between Per-
sia and Dusa. says that 1000 Per-
sian government horsemen and 500
infantry are marching on villages
in their path and shooting down the
people. Already 10 villages, four of
them inhabited by Russian subjects,
have been pillaged and burned. The
troops are ruthlessly killing the
fleeing peasants. Many women
carrying their children on their
backs were made to swim the
Araxes to the Russian side, but
were shot down. Three hundred
families have taken refuge on an
island in the river opposite Jutfa.

TO NAME ONLY FIVE
COMMITTEES
SPEAKER CANNON WILL NOT AP.
POINT ALL THE COMMIT
TEES At PRESENT.

Washington, March 15.-Only five
committees Of the house will be named
by Speaker Cannon for the present.
These will be the ways and means,
rules printing, mileage and accounts.
In making up the committees, 1t is
stated on reliable authority, the speak
er will consult with every member OF
the house. who desires to discuss as
signments with him. This means that
Minority Leader Clark will not enjoy
the privilege accorded his predeces-
sor, John Sharp Williams, of select
ing the minority members.
1t was stated today that Mr.. Cannon
had said that the plan was not the
best and that henceforth he will not
shift any of the responsibility for
committee assignments to the minor
ity leaders.
The attitude taken by the democrats
at a caucus held this evening is in
sharp conflict with the new policy. A
resolution was adopted to prevent
members of the minority accepting
committee appointments without ap-
proval of Minority Leader Clark.

PERMIT
THE CITY COUNCIL ALSO STARTS
AN IMPROVEMENT DIS
TRiCT CAMPAIGN.

At a busy meeting of the city coun-
ell, which was held last night, the
matter of the improvement districts
received special attention, dividing
honors with the Montana Telephone
company's ordinance, which was
granted by unanimous vote. The
improvement district plan was heard
from in all directions last night; the
matter of protecting the banks of the
Rattlesnake was finally acted upon.
A petition was read from the property
holders on University avenue, asking
for the boulevarding of the street, and
the city attorney was instructed to
draw up an ordinance creating a spe-
avenue and all of the streets two
blocks east and west with the idea of
putting in a complete sewerage sys-
tenn in the district which shall amply
provide for all future demands in this
line. This is the first step that has
been taken by the city in regard to
the division of the city into sewer dis
tricts, and it gives promise of further
action to come.
ne Telephone Ordinance.
The meeting was called TO order at
$50 by the mayor, all of the aldermen
with the exception of Deschamps be-
ing present. The first matter which
was brought up was the petition of
the Montana Independent Telephone
company relative to entering the city.
The ordinance committee, to which
the petition was referred at the last
meeting, was unable to report, but it's
members stated that they would do
so if given a few minutes in which to
consider the measure. For this pur-
pose a recess was taken, and after a
few minutes discussion, the commit
tee reported the ordinance favorably
with an amendment requiring the
to lay underground wires on
all streets and alleys within one block
of Higgins avenue. On motion of AL
derman Patterson the report of the
was unanimously adopted.
The report of the city attorney was
then heard on the matter of the ac-

the alleys of the block.
Conditions Were Fearful.
When Inspector Norris first visited the
plague spot &c found Accommodations of
filth in yards. sheds, vacant premises
and private alleys that bred flies in huge
numbers; he found defective roofs and
defective yard and cellar drainage that

of the thirty-two houses to be structural
