on every hand for the nerve they mani
tested in supporting the conference re-
port against the strong pressure OF
Dolliver and Cummins and other insur-
gents brought to bear on them. While
the bill is not what either of them
wanted, as they showed by voting to
recommit it, they accepted 1t finally as
the will Of the republican administra-
ton.
Good says he could not follow Dol
liver when he declared the bill rotten
and that the attacks made by Dolliver
and some other insurgents on the re-
publican tariff record made him dis
gusted.
It is the bill the party will have to
defend, says Good, for if the protec-
tive policy falls, the republican party
will go down to defeat.
He does not propose to let factional-
ism destroy the party. Mr.. Good be-
lieves the new bill is considerable i'm
provement over the Dingley law and a
substantial revision downward.

Early In the day the lawyer retained
by McCann, together with the inspec-
tor and Detective jeremiah Griffin, who
also is under indictment, held a long
conference In the Offices Of former
Judge Neely. There. it is known, the
advisability Of the expose involving big
politicians was discussed and the plan
TO go before one of the judges Of the
criminal court and ask the appoint
ment of a special states attorney was
definitely agreed upon.
Explanation of this course is made
in the statement that the magnitude of
the promised expose will be such that
an outsider" should be in charge of
the inquistorial body during its delib-
erat1ons. That the program may pre-
cipitate clash between States Attor-
ney Wayman and counsel for the ac-
cused POLICE official evidently has been
anticipated.

Of the cabinet Wilson knew the presi-

Good and Pickett were put to the
point OF accepting the advice of either
Dolliver and Cummins or Taft and Will
son and they finally decided to lean
to the latter. Secretary Wilson was
especially anxious to have Good sup
port the bill approved by Taft, as he

strong influence in keeping Wilson In
