SPEAKER CANNON WALL0PS
INSURGENTS BELOW BELT
Takes Away All Committee Rooms
and They Have No Place To
Plan His Downfall.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 9.-The insur-
gents accuse Uncle Joe" Cannon OF
striking them another blow beneath
the belt He has taken away all the
committee rooms from them and now
they have no place in which to hold
the meetings to plan the speaker
downfall AS result the insurgents
will meet Saturday night In the Office
of Rep Hubbard. of Iowa.
Until the insurgents began 10 in
sure some of them were chalrmen OF
committees and were therefore pro-
yided with fine Offices containing long
tables and many chairs. For instance
Fowler. OF New Jersey. was chairman
Of the banking and currency commit
toe. and Cooper, of Wisconsin. was at
the head OF the insular affairs commit
tee during the sixtieth congress be-
fore they became insurgents Now
the Offices they have over in the big
white building south OF the capitol are
lust about large enough for a good
sized man to turn completely around
in without knocking over his clerk
and desk.
n even quorum OF the 30 insur-
gents attend the Saturday night meet
ing Hubbard will be obliged To eithes
build a gallery around the top OF his
room or pile his friends In horizontally.

WANTS u. S. TO ESTABLISH
LEGATION AT THE VATICAN
Pope Has Commissioned Cardinal
Vannutell to Negotiate With
Ambassador Leishman.

ROME, Dec. 9-From a source of
uDquestioned reliability today the
United Press learned that Pope Plus
Y. Is extremely anxious for the Unit
ed States to establish legation at
the Vatican and has commissioned
Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli TO nego-
tiate with United States Ambassador
John G.. A. Leishman to this end.
The pope, 1t is said tao taoinoin
Mgr Falconio, the apostolic delegate
To the United States. to have Cardinal
Gibbons enlist Archbishops Farley, OF
New York. ireland. OF st. Paul, O'Con-
nell, OF Boston and Glennon. OF st.
Louis in support of the plan. In the
event that the plan succeeds. IT rs
believed that the chances OF all these
archbishops being raised to the
cardinalate will be greatly enhanced.
Cardinal Vannutelli asked Ambassa-
dor Leishman to inform his govern
ment OF the pope's desires. The
ambassador promised TO do so but re-
fused personally either to support or
oppose the measure.
Leishman was seen. at the embassy
today but he refused TO comment on
the report, which comes TO the Unit
ed Press from close personal friends
OF Cardinal Vannutelli. II has long
been known that the Pope desires Il
closer diplomatic relation between
the Vatican and the United States but
the proposal to establish United
States legation at the Vatican has
caused great surprise.

HAMMOND TRIAL
FIGHT FOR CASH
If He's Acquitted Bonding Co. Saves
$4,000; II Convicted, Former En-.
ployers Get This Amount.

The conviction OF Chauncey W.
Hammond, charged with the theft Of
$1,000 from the EMF. Co. by
switching pay satohels, is worth So.
GOO to the EMF. Co. His acquittal
is worth $4,000 to the American
Bonding Co, of Baltimore, which is
on his bond for that amount.
The young paymasters police court
examination has resolved into a bat
tie royal between the two big corpora
tons; game with thousands at stake.
and with Hammond's liberty as the
pawn.
1t is said that the bonding company
is backing Hammond in his defense.

by Attorneys Yerkes and Frazer. a

Hammond was asked. point-blank.
whether the bonding company was
paying his attorneys He said that he
would not discuss his case in any way.
He admitted, though that he had been
advised to hire Attorneys Frazer and
Yerkes. and said that he didn't care
to say who advised him.
II Hammond is convicted, the
American Bonding Co. must pay to
the EMF. Co. the sum OF $4,000. II
he is acquitted Of the charge. the loss
of the $4,000 is a net loss to the big
auto concern. The bonding company,
insuring the firm against possible
loss through Hammond, can not be
made to settle on the bond.
Naturally. the bonding company Will
spend several thousands Of dollars In
the effort TO save 100000
Whether Hammond goes to prison,
or is allowed to go free, Is really a
minor question, in the battle between
two big corporations for stake OF
$4,000.
Attorneys Yerkes and Frazer
changed their minds about putting In
a defense at the police court examina-
ton. They notified Justice Jeffries.
Thursday morning, that they would
put in no defense, but would make &
motion that the charges be dismissed,
and would argue the case Friday
morning.
Justice Jeffries set the case for that
day.

Twenty Stores and Shops Are De-
moralized by Flames, Which Threat

KALAMAZOO. Mich. Dec. 9.-Fire
apparatus arrived here from Grand
Rapids, Jackson and Battle Creek early
today 10 assist in lighting the fire that
swept through the Burdlck Hotel build
Ing. which covered more than half a
block, between Main and Water-sts
The fire. which started in the Burdick
House arcade. destroyed that place
and threatened the entire business dis
trict before II was gotten under control
at o'clock this morning. The finan-
cial loss, it Is estimated, will exceed
100000
The destruction of the historic Bur
dick House includes the complete de
molition OF about twenty stores and
shops.
Three things prevented probably
the destruction of the entire business
section. They were connection with
the Michigan asylum water system,
arrival OF company from Battle
Creek at 2 a. m. and a change IN
wind. The Battle Creek company,
ordered out by Mayor Bailey, arrived
at the exact moment flames started
through the Burdick-st. side OF the
square. A Grand Rapids company ar
rived at a. m. The city plant has
capacity of 100000 gallons day
and the asylum a capacity Of $780,
900. This is the first time both have
worked together.
There were 162 guests in the Bur
dick House and all were aroused.
Miss Nina Harrington, telephone oper
ator at the Burdick, distinguished
herself by calling every possible
guest before being overcome by
smoke. She was rescued. Manager
Burke personally made a tour Of
rooms.
Partial investigation OF the Burdick
house ruins strengthens the belief
that no one persisted in the fire. The
fire is still burning although under
control. All the fire engines are on
the scene.
Plans for rebuilding the hotel on a
giant scale are already under way. A
meeting OF stockholders of the Arcade
company was called this afternoon.
The hotel building just burned was
n remodeling OF the old Burdick house.

was reopened. there was fire that did

D.U. R. PLANNING TO
LINK SUBURBAN
SYSTEMS
Gets Option on Private Right-of-
Way for Line Connecting Wood
ward and Grand River-Aves.
Outside City Limits.
Would Shorten Freight Hauls and
Be of Strategic Importance in
Squabble Over Franchises.

The taking Of a number OF options
on property in Greenfield township
has caused the belief to take root
there that the Detroit United railway
il getting ready to build new prl-
vate right-ofway line. connecting
Woodward and Grand River-aves. out
side the city limits. Robert Oakman
has been In Highland Park several
times lately. and his presence is con
nected with the deals said to be about
To go through.
A connecting line between these TWO
branches of the ID. U. Il. system, out
side the city, would give the com
pany several advantages. For one
thing, il would allow OF great deal
OF freight being handled directly he
tween the Rochester-Romeo line and
the Pennington line. This freight
now has to come downtown and he
switched from one line 10 another In
the heart OF the city The sugar beet
trains are especially hard to handle
in this way.
II is said that the new line. II built,
will run from Woodward-aye. south
OF IaBelle-aye., through property
owned by the d. u. r. to point 300
feet west OF Twelfth-st. road and
thence south on private right OF
way to a point near the city limits
turning west there and running par
allel with the JOY road to the first
north and south road connecting with
Grand River-ave. outside the city.
In case of struggle between the
city and the company later, such Il
line would give the ID. u. r. a way
into the city for the interurban cars
of the Pontiac, Rochester. Romeo and
Flint divisions. since the Grand River
ave. franchise does not expire until
1916. II would also be possible TO
connect this line with the Jackson
line BY way of the interurban road
running through Pennington and con
Meeting with the Jackson line at
Wayne.
No matter what the situation as re-
CARDS future fight between city or
ficials and ID. L. r.. the company
could not be shut off from bringing
I'm all these interurban lines.
II Is said that one piece OF land.
the Porritt farm. is all that would
have To be secured for a right-of-way
for a new line. which has not been
placed under option.
