FIGHTOvER THE COMMITTEES
House Democrats Expected to Agree
to Speakers Selections.

Washington, March 19.-The Demo
cratic members of the house probably
will not carry to an extreme their ad-
herence to their caucus pledge to ac-
cept no committee assignments unless
passed upon by Minority Leader
Clark. This pledge was made while
the house was acting under the old
method of appointing committees, but
with the resumption by the speaker of
his prerogative to himself designate
all members of committees the indica-
tions are strong that there will be
little more demonstration in support
of Mr.. Clark's right to name the DEM
ocratic committeeman.
No more important committees will
be filled for the present, but it is ex-
pected that this work will be taken
up by the speaker as soon as the tar
III bill is disposed of and it is believed
that by that time feeling will have
sufficiently died out to permit him to
proceed without opposition.

Wyseman of Manitowoc told the sena-

county, but had refused.
Charles S. French, an attorney of

received nothing for his services.

witness, received $4,000 from Senator
Stephenson direct. The money, he

paid in small amounts to workers.

RECOMMENDED
FOR PASSAGE
Tariff Bill Favorably Re-
ported to the House.
NO AMENDMENTS MADE

Committee Gives TWO Principal Rea-
sons for Rsadjustment of Seized.
uies, the First Being That Many
New Complications in the Tariff
Have Arisen Since the Enactment
Of DingIey Law Twelve Years Ago.
Washington, March 19.-Immedi-
ately after the house convened Mr..
Payne of New York. chairman of the
committee on ways and means, re-
ported back the tariff bill without
amendment
The report accompanying the bill,
which was presented by Mr.. Payne,
is made up in the main of extracts
from his previous statement regarding
the schedules, but the Introductory
portion of it is devoted to an explana-
ton of the committees reasons for its
course. Two principal reasons for the
readjustment of the schedules are
given.
The first of these is that after the
lapse of twelve years since the enact
ment of the Dingley law many new
complications in the tariff have arisen
and it is said that the public demand
has been confirmed by the informa-
tion received by the committee since
it began its investigation. In the Sec
| ond place it is stated that since the
| Dingley bill went into effect large
| number of foreign countries have
adopted tariffs with maximum and
| minimum rates, so that section of
the present law is not regarded as
sufficiently broad to meet the changed
condition, as these new foreign tar.
ifs force the higher rate on large
part of our exports. The committee
expresses the opinion that the new
bill is so constructed that these con.
| ditions will be fully met 1t is said
that the bill proposes reduced rate
a the bulk of imported articles.
Product of Much Labor.
The committee then undertakes to
| give an idea OF the important charac.
| ter of the work in which it has been
engaged, beginning with the state.
ment that the preparation of the bill
has been no easy task. The popular
| demand for the cutting of rates is re-
ferred to and against this is set the
Republican policy of protection, whose
cardinal principle, it Is said, is the
protection of American industries and
American workmen against the differ
ence in cost of production at home
and abroad.
| The necessity for more revenue al
the present time is also discussed al
some length. 1t is asserted that unit
the recent depression in business the
revenues under the present law have
been sufficient to meet the expendi
lures of the government and the fac,
Is pointed out that, taking the entire
period from 1897, the date of the en-
actment of the Dingley bill, until 1909
there has been a surplus of receipts
over expenditures amounting to STA,
555, ,40s.
In explaining the provision for au
thorizing the issue of $45,000,000 o
additional Panama canal bonds the
report says that the belief of the com
mittee Is that the entire expenditure
for the building of the Panama cana
should be met by bond issue.

SEEKS TO ANNUL DECREE

Chicago, Oct. 19.-The case wherein
Grace b. Guggenheim seeks to have
her divorce from William Guggenheim
granted by Judge E. F. Dunno in Chi
cagO eight years ago, annulled, came be-
fore Judge Honore today.
Mr. Dunno, now a private citizen,
filed the petition as a friend of the
court, declaring that he had been in
formed that he had been misled in
granting the divorce. Judge Honore
declared he would give due consider
alton to the statement that Mrs. Gug-
genheim seeks pecuniary benefit in ap-
peaTing in the case. The latter is repre-
scented by William Seabury of New
York, and Mr.. Guggenheim, one of the
brothers famous in the smelter bEsi-
ness. by Samuel Untermeyer, also of
New York.
IT is alleged. that when the divorce
was being sought, Mrs. Guggenheim
testified that she was a bona fide resi-
dent of Illinois, whereas she now claims
she was not resident of this state and,
therefore, the Illinois courts did not
have jurisdiction.

Pittsburg, Oct. 19.-The ninth and
concluding days session of the inter-
national centennial and convention of
the Disciples Of Christ christian
church, is being held today. Evangel-
istic work was discussed, and tonight
the convention ends with street meet
ings by volunteer evangelists and sing
ers.
The proceedings developed a number
of noteworthy achievements. For the
first time, it is claimed, the laymen
were given knowledge of the magnitude
of the denomination. Forty times more
delegates attended this convention than
the one held in this city eighteen years
ago.
In a century the Christian church has
obtained 100000 communicates, 11,714
churches, 1852 Bible schools and 6661
ministers. Nearly a million students
are enrolled in the Bible schools. and
the total church valuation is S29. IA, pa

IN an effort to get the s., 400 extorted
from the tWenty-seven saloons which
were held up for two weeks by the city
council, a special finance and big stick
committee has been appointed to go out

In the meantime the saloon men who

QUEER WORK BY ENGINEERS
Republican Candidate for Council
Tells of Need for Changed
Conditions.

James G, McAllister, Republican candi-
date for council for the short term from
the First precinct, gave another reason
last night why he was anxious TO get a
seat in the city council. As he told It to
few friends at Republican headquarters
Mr. McAllister paid his compliments to
the city engineers force Of surveyors and
inspectors, by describing some work done
in connecting his house with the sewer at
EarPs court
Employees of the city engineers office
were sent to fix the grade Of the sewer
last month. After they had run their
line and set stakes, Mr. McAllister noticed
the stakes and saw that they were trying
to make the sewer run Up hill. He called
the attention of the city emplOye to- the
mistake in the grade and received scant
courtesy. The plumbers came next day,
while Mr.. McAllisteT was at home. and
after a time he succeeded in having an
other line run by the city surveyor. Then
the pipes were laid by the plumber and
the work was inspected by the city in
spectOr and passed as all right.
Mr.. McAllisteT arrived home at night
Just in time to prevent the men from fill

that the pipe had been laid from his base

monthly gathering at the Commsreiai

pounded into the eagerly absorptive brains
of the men of the city who tell the WOm-

and the general public how TO BEHAVE
themselves.
1t was jolly gathering around that ia
bic last night But there was an under
current of the real what's what, and the
glasses were poised while Sidney Hecker,
foreman of the composing room Of The

who is big man on the cases with the
Telegram, in polite way gave their
opinion of their fellow guests WHO turned
in late copy.
There was a hooray and hoorah when
these talks were finished. and smiles or
jOviality were on every face, but behind
all there was a glimmer of thoughtfulness
which betOkened that the few words OF
the two men who wrestle with the me-
chanical problems of advertising every
day had penetrated deeply into the brains
Of the men on the street.
All in all, it was pleasant evening
presided over very ably by Malcolm Nc

mis- intrOductions Those present were;
