DYNAMITE AND FUSES
 IN A LODGING HOUSE

New Orleans. March 11.--A trunk full of dynamite and fuses was found by the police late tonight in a room of a Canal Street lodging house. The discovery came as a sequel to the ar- rest of three white men at Franklin. La. Tuesday night as they were about to blow open the postoffiee safe there.
 The room was rented some weeks ago by one of the trio. giving his name as Kennybrook, and was occupied by him and a woman. supposedly his wife. until-the last of the past week. Say ing they would return. the trunk was left in the room. It is thought the wo- man Is in Franklin. and the authorities there were advised tonight to try and apprehend her.
 The other two men give their names as Busch and Howard. All claim to come from Birmingham. Ala, but this Is discredited. The police express the belief that the gang Is composed of notorious crooks and has operated re. gently throughout this and other sec tions.

 Washington, March 1l.-For more than three hours tonight the Republi- can Insurgents" discussed behind closed doors the details of the fight they propose to make next Monday when the Sixty-first Congress con- venes against the adoption of the rules of the last House.
 The leaders of the movement ex- pressed entire satisfaction with the results of the meeting. exciaimlng that at least ten more members would vote with them. It is known that much of the time at the meeting was devot- ed to a discussion of a compromise with the organized forces.
 The suggestion was made that the insurgents enter into a compromise with the regulars, whereby commit tee would be appointed at the begin ming of the special session to revise the rules of the House. Pending the report of the committee, the rules of the last House would be enforced.
 The sentiment of the meeting was that the Speaker should not have the power of appointing the committee If such a compromise was agreed upon.
 The statement was made at the meeting that telesrains had been re- ceivcd from Representatives Lindberg. of Minnesota: Norris. of Nebraska. and Hayes. Of California, that they would vote with the insurgents" , After the conference the "insur- gontS' declined to discuss the conciu sIons reached at the meeting It Is known that the proposition to com promise did not meet with general approval.

WORLD EDITOR INDICTED
Charged With Criminal Libel in Con
nection With Panama Purchase.

Charged With Criminal Libel in Con
necton With Panama Purchase.
New York, March 3 About half an
hour after Theodore Roosevelt ceased
to be president of the United States
indictments were round by the federal
grand jury in this city against the
Press Publishing company. publisher
Of the New York World, and against
Caleb NJ. Van Hamm. managing ed
itor of the World. charging criminal
libel in the publication and circula-
ton of stories rejecting on the man
ner In which the Panama Canal prop
erty was acquired by this govern
ment
With the news of these indictments
there spread also through the federal
building a persistent rumor that the
grand jury had also found indictments
against several members of what was
known as the old Blue Pencil club, an
organization Of persons who posed as
newspaper men. No confirmation OF
the latter report could be obtained,
however, at the Office OF the federal
district attorney.
AS to the wording of the indict-
nents found against Mr. Van Hamm
and the Press Publishing company,
nothing could be learned yesterday
from the federal authorities, and Il
is likely that the indictments will nor
be made public until after bench war
rants have been served on those IN
dicted.
Whether there was design in the
finding of the indictments after Mr.
Roosevelt was no longer president Of
the United States could not be lealn-
ed but no action was taken by the
grand jury until after noon vest arday
when Mr.. Roosevelt became 3 private
citizen.
From the size of the docrmcnts
handed to Judge Holt it is generally
believed around the federal building
that several counts are Included in
he indictments. as in the Indictments
,ound in Washington last month
against the Press Publishing company
Joseph Pulitzer and Robert II Ly-
nan. II is also believed that the his
.ory Of the purchase of the canal pro
oerty from start TO finish, is related
rs in the indictments found by The
grand jury in the District OF Colum-
bia.
Before the indictments We're hand
cd down William Nelson Cromwell ap.
peared in the federal building and
had a conference with officials of the
district attorneys office. Then Mr..
Cromwell went to Washingt M, whore
he now is There is a strong belief
that Mr. Cromwell appeared as an
Individual complainant in tho proceed
lngs against the Press Publishing Co
md that Mr. Roosevelt as a private
| citizen is also a complainant.
The fact that Joseph Pulitzer pub
Usher of the World. was not included
in yesterdays indictments was hot a
surprise to those who have been fol
lowing the case closely Mr.. Pulitzer
was not in New York when the stor-
les about the Panama Canal purchase
were published. Mr.. Pulitzer is s'ill

The Tercentenary Commission has
engaged Bliss Carman to write a
poem for the occasion of the celebra-
ton. With only minor poets to
select from, as that is all we have in
America at the present time, the COM
mission has probably done as we'll as
it could. Personally we would have
preferred to have seen our one Yer
none poet, James p. MARI of Barre.
selected for the occasion. Jim Mari
has written just as good poetry as
ever Bliss Carman and his poetry has
a rugged strength and appeal to man
hood that is often inspiring. OF
Scotch birth, but a Vermonter by
choice, he is loyal to both lands and
his writings strike a response in all
warm hearts:
who would not abide where the
waters glide
I'm the Kingdom of Never Grow Old,
And feel the breeze meath the whisp-
ering trees,
In the Kingdom of Never Grow Old?
There sorrow and sadness forever
cease,
And Joy and gladness, and love and
peace,
Give the weary heart from its cares
surcease,
In the Kingdom OF Never Grow Old.
