The time of the local justice of the peace court was occupied yesterday afternoon bv a coat stealing case. The night before Lauro Valencia was al the NJ end P. depot waiting to. tak. the tran south. He carried very valuable fur overcoat and left it for a few moments in the depot while he vas outside IL so happened that one Juan Acuna. another Mexican, had missed his train to Mesa. This fact alone was responsible for what fol- lowed. Acuna had imbibed a little too freely and after missing his train. hung around the depot a short time. just long enough to pick up the overcoat. He later on offered to sell it to another Mexican and then started on to Mesa. When Valencia discovered the loss of his coat, he made diligent inquiry and learned that Acuna had departei with it. With the ma1 ro whom it had been offered for sale he walked to Mesa and during the night located both the man and the coat.
 Acuna pleaded not guilty before Justice Carr yesterday afternoon, but the evidence was too much one way He was found guilty and sentenced to thirty days in the county jail.

ALL IS NOW SERENE
At SPEAKERS DESK

For the first time since Congress adj
journed there was an air of peace and
eontentment today around Speaker Can
mons Office The regular Republicans
have now reached the stage where they
are absolutely confident that all of the
tricks OF the combined forces of Repub-
lican insurgents and Democrats cannot
prevail against them
The situation, so far as rules revision
is concerned. was considered TO be so
well in hand that Former Representa-
tive watson of Indiana. who has been
whipping the Republicans into line
failed to show up at the Speakers Of
fee today and devoted his time TO
affairs preparatory TO returning TO his
home in Indiana
1t was easily discernible today that
there are signs Of dissention IN the
Democratic ranks. The announcement
that Speaker Cannon proposed to take
from the minority leader the power 81

scared off several Democrats who now
have desirable committee appointment
ard who wish to retain them.

The District appropriation bill pro-
vides that the Commissioners of the

that may be collected in the District of
Columbia The said Commissioners are
hereby empowered to prescribe the pen
atty or penalties for violation OF any
charge fixed by them"
Many Complaints.
There were many complaints on the
part of patrons of the taxicabs during
the Inauguration period resulting from
the action of companies in disregarding
the meters and charging a fat rate
largely in excess of the usual fare. The
manager of one of the companies said
today that while there was no desire
TO do the public, il was felt that under
the circumstances an advance in the
rate was iustifable.
The meters. he said, were restored 20
service at midnight Saturday. The
adoption OF a fixed rate by the Com
/ missioners will preclude the possibility
/ of excess charges in the future

Democrats InSiStent
But the Democrats are pretty insistent
that enough Republicans will join in op-
position to him on Monday to prevent
his election for that day at least. The
anti-Cannon Republicans likewise urge
that if Canuon's election can be pre-
vented for one day, and the news sent
TO the country on Tuesday that he has
been held up. il will give a great i'm
petus to the insurgent sentiment, which
they say viii be aroused everywhere,
and will make itself felt with members
who may be weak as to the rules propo-
sition. Few take seriously the notion
that Il is possible TO defeat the Speaker
finally.
The insurgents tonight must decide
on a policy in this respect and also
must determine what specific amend
ment they viii offer for the rules on
Monday.
Two general propositions are under
consideration. One looks 10 postponing
the rules fight till next December. In
order to accomplish this a scheme has
been drafted of offering an amendment
10 the Dalzell resolution
This will provide that the present
Ways and Means Committee shall con-
tinue through the special session. ana
also the formal committees. such as
mileage. accounting, and then. that a
committee of fifteen, TO be named in
The resolution, be appointed to revise
the House rules and report in Deem

This plan is reported 10 have the APP
prevail of President Taft, having been
suggested to him by some people who
have been anxious to avoid the POSSIBLE
ity OF tieing up tariff revision, while al
the same time earnest about preserving
the opportunity TO revise the rules later
The whole matter will have to be
thrashed out tonight. and it is likely
