CANT stop DEBATE
IN SENATE
UPPER HOUSE or CONGRESS RE-
FUSES TO ESTABLISH RULE
OF cLoTuRE.

Washington, Dec. 19-By a vote of
81 to II the senate today again em-
phatically announced its determination
to risist all efforts to alter It's rules
in any way lookine to the establish
ment of cloture in that body.
The question arose over the ruling
made last saturday by Vice President
Sherman, holding that an announce
ment of a pair by senator in an aye
and no vote is sufficient to justify the
chair in including him to make a
quorum. The point was raised early
in the day over the approval of the
journal of Saturdays proceedings.
In connection with votes on amend
ments to the omnibus claims bill a
vote was taken on an appeal by SEN
ator Hale from decision by the chair
similar to that of Saturday. All the
II votes in favor of sustaining the
chair were cast by republicans. OF the
81 votes against the chair, 20 were
cast by republicans and II by the
democrats. In the roll call the point
was made by Mr.. Hepburn that only
by unanimous consent could sem
ator be excused from voting even in
observance of pair and after the roll
call was concluded Senators Dilling-
ham and Martin were compelled to
rise and ask to be excused because OF
pairs. No objection was made.

ELECTION CONTESTS
ARE STARTED. | !
IN Butte
SULLIVAN -HENNETTs CASE, IN
voLvINc ASSESSORS OFFICE,
is FIRST HEARD.

Butte, Dec. ID Special. Election
contests Of all the republican candi-
dates who lost out at the recent cleo
tion against their successful demo-
cratic opponents We're started today IN
Judge McClernan's court. The only
democratic candidate whose office is
not being contested is County Attorney
Tom Walker. The office of assessor.
to which Gilbert Bennetts was elected
by four votes, is being contested by
p. S. Sullivan, the present democratic
incumbent, ON the ground that out OF
the II votes cast at Fish Creek, and of
which he got one, more than half We're
residents Of Jefferson county.
Most of the day was taken up in
preliminaries. The republicans asked
that the machines be opened. The
democrats objected Judge McCler-
nan said when the time came for it.,
the opening of the machines would
probably be the proper thing and said
he would make an order to that effect
later. The Sullivan Bennetts case was
taken up first Half a dozen Of the
16 witnesses from Fish Creek were ex-
,amined before court adjourned. They
all declared that while they worked at
times in jefferson county, their homes
were in Silver Bow. Fish Creek is
right on the line between the two
counties. The republican contests are
based on charges of fraud in regis
tration and election and counting.

MAY BE ALLOWED TO Pass
BILL PASSES SENATE.

Washington, Dec. Especial. -
The senate today passed Senator Hey
burns bill relieving owners of un-
patented mining claims from assess
nent work for the year 1910. The bill
applies only to claims owned by per-
sons who by reason of losses suffered
during the months Of July, August and
September. 1910, by forest fires, were
rendered financially unable to perform
such labor upon the claims for the
year 1910.
Persons desiring to take advantage
Of the act shall, before January l, file
affidavits setting forth tce extent and
nature Of the fire loss which prevented
the doing OF assessment work Such
statement of fact, however, can be con-
troverted by locator claiming ad-
versely.
It is not certain that the senate bill
can pass the house in time to be of
any value, as both senate and house
recess on Wednesday until January S.
Unless the senate bill passes the house
tomorrow or the next day. 1t cannot

REDUCTION Rel | IN. COAL
MADE BY COMPANIES

Salt Lake City, Dec. 19.-The 50-cent
raise in the price of coal, which went
into effect early in November, was
taken off today and a further reduc-
ton is predicted, The first steps have
been taken by state officials to revoke
the state charters of the Union Pa
cific Coal company and the Utah Fuel
company on the ground that they have
formed a conspiracy in violation OF the
law of the state. The prosecution
of the alleged trust will not be af-
fected by the reduction in price, which
in now 1915 retail. sz#s
: OF the 50-cent reduction, 35 cents
is conceded by the mining companies
and As cents by the railroads. The
Herald -Republican will say tomorrow
that both the raise and the cut were
dictated by telegraph by the chair
man of the executive committee OF
the Union Pacific railroad company
although the Utah Fuel company is
Gould property.

Washington, Dec. 19.--In the pres
ence of distinguished gathering in
the little courtroom. Edward Douglas
White was today elevated from asso-
ciate justice of the supreme court of
the United States to the chief Justice
ship. The climax of the ceremonies
occurred when Associate Justice Har-
Ian, as senior member of the court, ad-
ministered the judicial oath. 1t was
subscribebd to on the bench itself, in
stead of at the clerks desk, as is or
dinarily the case.
Chief Justice White, while taking
the OATH held in his hand a Bible
which has been used by nearly every
chief justice and associate justice on
similar occasions in the last century,
but, unlike most of them, he kissed the
book at the conclusion Of the oath.
As he took his seat he smiled at his
wife, who sat in a reserved seat along
side his brother, James White Of this
city, and other relatives.
Presiding Justice Harlan, who has
headed the tribunal since the death Of
Chief Justice Fuller, last July, an
nounced after orders of the day had
been made public that Justice White,
who had been appointed chief justice
Of the United States, was present and
ready to take the oath.
He extended the congratulations Of
the court to the new chief justice and
directed Clerk McKenney to read his
commission. This done, the presiding
Justice turned to his right where sat

DECLARED MORE PROFITABLE

Washington, Dec 19.-The govern
ment could save $1.5o0.oo0 il it could
have the battleship New York built in
a private yard instead of at the New
York navy yard, according to the tes-
timony of Chief Constructor Watt OF
the navy before the house committee
on naval affairs today He said there
would be material saving to the gov
ernment If it couldl build all the ves-
sells ty contract He pointed cut that
this would be different if the navy
knew exactly the raterof wages paid
in private yards and if it were not for
the many holidays. The output per
man per working hour is fully as great
in a government as in private yard.

MATTER OF CANAL TOLLS
TAKEN UP eY PRESIDENT


Washington. Dec. 10. = President
Taft is having the draft of bill pre-
pared designed to carry out his ideas
as to collection Of tolls on the Panama
canal. Representative Mann Of
Illinois, chairman of the interstate
commerce committee. which will deal
with the subject, has conferred with
him and in all probability will intro
duce the administration measure. The
president believes the tolls ought not
to exceed 81 per net ton. to obtain a
gross income of nearly $7,00O.00O.
The maintenance and operation cost
is estimated at upward of $4,000. 900.
and his view is that ultimately with
the normal increase in trade. the in.
come will approximate the interest on
the f$400,000,0 900 investment.
