Sixty-First Congress Meets in
Regular Session.
BRILLIANT THR0NG PRESENT
House Greets Speaker Cannon with
Great Appiause-Many "Taft PoA
Icy" Bills Introduced In Both
Chambers,
BY EDWARD B, CLARK.

Washington, Dec. Cat noon today
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-irst
congress of the United States for its
first regular session. Really the first
session of this congress was the extra
ordinary one of last spring called to
revise the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the cap.
ltol because at the beginning of the
extraordinary session in March last
the speaker of the House was elected.
Moreover, before the extraordinary
session was ended, Speaker Cannon
appointed all the committees which
are to take legislation under consid-
GRAFTON for the next two winters, The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the men,
bers for choice chairmanships and, if
the chairmanships were not forthcom.

subsidiary bodies of the House.

over jealousies and rivalries and so it
is that, so far as committee work is con.
cerned, the House not only is ready
to proceed at once to consider legisla.
ton, but most Of the members have
brought themselves into frame of
mind to do what they are called upon
to do without regard to their past feel
ings of disappointment and perhaps,
anger.
AS is always the case on the OPEN
ing day of congress, admission to the
House and Senate galleries was by
card and only those fortunate enough
to know senators and representative
sufficiently we'll to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
The galleries of both House and
Senate were damned with people. All
classes of Washington society were
represented in the throng of visitors.
The diplomatic gallery in the House
and In the Senate as we'll, was filled
to it's fullest capacity with ambassa.
doris, ministers, attaches and the la
dies of the different legations. Men,
bers of the families of the president
and of the vice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries, and the cabinet and tudici.
airy and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
BY rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor of the House excepting when
they are to be used as a tribute to
the memory to some deceased mem.

officer. He was greeted with great
applause from the galleries and from
the floor of the House, many of the
Democrats and insurgents joining in
the demonstration, though in either
case possibly the hand clapping was
given as an evidence of regard for the
office of speaker, rather than as evil
dence of any overweaning affection
for the speaker himself.
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
it's winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered
in committee, and the meetings of the
committees will be held daily from
now until the Christmas holidays and
some of the more important House
bodies will sit during the recess.
When congress reassembles in Janu.
airy many of the committees will be
ready to report bills, and the debates
of the winter will begin.
Opening Of the Senate.
Vice-President Sherman called the

the Senate, having died during the
summer recess, his place as chaplain,
temporarily was taken by local
clergyman who offered prayer. In the
Senate the roll was called and it was
found that nearly all the Senators
were in their seats. The resolutions
were adopted to the effect that com.
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen
ate had assembled and was ready to
begin the business of the session. AS
was the case in the House many bills
were introduced for consideration dur
ing the winter by senators who, like
the representatives, desire to have a
hand in forwarding administration pol.

After comparative short session

cleared and the Senate went into ex.

House by President Taft.

Der. The result of this rule is that
now on the opening days of congress
the desks of the members are bare of
floral decorations. In the old DAVIS
both House and Senate were turned
into conservatives for the time of
the opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon

Appeal to Supreme Bench Now His
only Hope Of Escaping.-DeniaI
Of Motion Based on Precedent
Created in Morse Case,

Chicago, Dec. 4.-John r. Walsh,
convicted OF misapplying the funds of
the Chicago National bank, of which
he was president, was denied a re-
nearing of his appeal to the federal
circuit court of appeals by Judges
Crosscup, Seaman and Baker.
The denial of the motion for re-
hearing leaves Walsh without other
resource than the supreme court of
the United States to stay the execu-
ton of the sentence committing him
to five years in the Leavenworth fed
eral penitentiary. The court declin-
ed to admit him to bail, but permit.
ted him to defer the beginning of the
sentence pending application to the
supreme court, placing him mean.
While in the custody of the United
States marshal.
The action of the court was based
on the precedent created by the Morse
case when the New York financier in.
stead of being sent to the federal
prison was committed to the Tombs
pending an appeal to the United
States supreme court
The John R. Walsh case in which
the ruling of the court was announc-
ed has been, in different phases,
prominently before the public since
the three Walsh banks, the Chicago
National bank, the Home Savings
bank and the Equitable Trust Com
pany were closed Dec. 1S, 1905. An
indictment containing 1872 counts was
voted against Walsh JAN 8, 1907, by
the federal grand jury charging him
with misapplying the funds of the
Chicago National bank while he was
it's president. Nov. IL in the same
year the trial of the charges against
him was begun before Judge A. B.
Anderson in the federal district court
and Jan. IS, 1908, a verdict finding
him guilty on 81 counts was returned
by the jury.

GOLD ORE STRIKE.
Vein Tapped in Montana Over Thirty
Miles Long.

Helena.-DevelOpm operations in
what is known as the big Dixie" dis
trict of Lincoln county, which is sup
posed to contain the mother lode of
the famous Libby placers, have dis
closed the presence of an ore vein of
almost fabulous length. The vein is
declared to be more than thirty miles
in length, and showing possibilities so
stupendous as to be almost unbeliev-
able. 1t Is a low-grade proposition.
A tunnel has been run into the ledge
and a cross-cut made for a distance
of 100 feet without striking the hang
ing wall.
Assays show that the ledge carries
values of from 81 to $18 ton. Here
tofore the dyke has been regarded as
OF too low grade for successful opera
ton, but the results from the latest
development work have created a SEN
sation, and already predictions of an

The -Corbin company

while in the Bertha the pay streak is
now six feet wide.
A thirty inch streak of high-grade
gold ore has been found in the Rae &
McGraw property, about a mile from
the Broadwater hotel, and the new
owners are driving a tunnel with
which to tap the vein at greater depth
and to permit stopping at lesser cost
than if the ore were hoisted to the
surface.
It is believed in mining circles that
they have tapped the mother lode of
the Mountain View mine, which in the
past has shipped ore running $1OO in
gold, together with IS per cent iron,
which makes it very valuable for f1ux-
ing.
