CAUCUS SELECTS
 SIX MEMBERS TO
 WORK ON RULES
(CoNTINeED FROM PAGE Il

 ~-------~------>>>--> >-->-->->----------~~-~- sey acted as secretary. MT. Tawney of Minnesota, who had been acting as q sorr of Intermediary between the two republican factions, presented sla.c rlD,ing six men and urged that the majority get together in the election Of the men suggested. The slate fol- lows:
 Messrs. Smith of Iowa, Dalzell of
 Pennsylvania Fassett of New York, Boutell of Illinois, Lawrence of Mas sachusetts and Smith of California. Previous to the caucus the "insur- gents" held meeting at which severa. members opposed both Dalzell and Fas- sett and agreed to contest their selec-
 tion. At the same time they agreed that they would abide by the result. The Pennsylvania member was objected to because of his long association on the co connlittee with Speaker Cannon, and be- cause he had presented on the floor many of the rules which had been regarded as particularly obnoxious to democratic rule.
 Fassett was in disfavor chiefly because his speech during the recent insurrec- | ton was one of the most vitriolic ar- | judgments of the insurgents that was delivered. It cut the insurgents to the quick.
 1 After MT. Tawney had taken his seat
 Mir. Hubbard of Iowa made a speech in
 advocacy of a secret ballot in the selec-
 ton of the six members. Assent to this
 proposition was refused by Mir. Tawney,
 who defended his slate on the ground that
 it did not call for the election of any
 man who was chairman of standing committee.
 Slate Talked Down Down in New England" interrupted MT. Mccall of Massachusetts, 'it is not rar ardA n hrir iY, a slate"
 | His attitude was one of rebuke for | those who appeared inclined to control the caucus, and he was cheered loudly | by many members.
 | It was then suggested by MT. Payne of New York; the republican floor leader that nominations should be made and that an informal ballot be had. each
 member voting for six men. This plan
 was applauded by all of the insurgents
 and not few of. the regulars, and was
 adopted by a viva voce vote. As re-
 suit. MT. Tawney withdrew his slate, and
 nominations were ordered.
 l Speeches nominating candidates were | limited to 90 seconds each. Twenty-three
 members were nominated, but four of
 these--Messrs. Needham of California. Olmstead of Pennsylvania, Parsons of New York, and Norris of Nebra ska-de- cilHeu 10 permit tuelT HdIleS to De COH-

 Smith, Iowa; Boutell, Illinois; Dalzell, Pennsylvania Smith. California: Kahn. California; Lawrence, Massachusetts;
 Lowden. Illinois; Miller. Kansas; Stevens, fp. t,y Michigan; Murdock. Kansas: Davidson, Wisconsin; Martin, South Dakota. After nominations had been closed, motion was adopted that tellers be named to receive the votes. Mr. Currier named tho following: Roberts, chairman; vree- land, New York Hubbard. Iowa.

the officials at the hospital stated ves- terday, mo formal line of treatme,t could be laid down at once. The first ster was to discover the exact extent of the disease. The X-rays have revealed the interesting information that the harden- ing of the muscles is not due 10 the formation of isolated bony patches with in them, but is a direct continuation of bone growth from the bones which the muscles surround
 Three or four days ago a small patch or muscle-bone was cut away from the right shoulder under a local anesthetic The patient, of course, felt no pain in the process. This fragment of degener- ated muscle is now being minutely exam ined, both chemically and microscop- caiy, in the hope that it may afford some clew to the pathology of the disease from which rational treatment may be evolved
 When the wound on the shoulder has entirely healed the effect of a course of the Tyranauer hot air baths, which the Princess Hatzfeldt presented to the hos pital two years ago, will be tried. In these baths. which have given splendid results in cases of chronic Rheumatism and rheumatoid arthritis. the patient can be exposed to dry heat up to 2S0 de- grees Fahrenheit without pain or burn RS the skin It is hoped that continued exposure to this great heat may have the effect of arresting the course of the dis- ease"

ladv who was. as he described her. the hest round dancer I ever saw. She was extremely fond of dancing. and was a specially good waltzer. It chanced that the pulpit was occupied that day by wis., iting clergyman, who delivered sermon of tremendous vigor. devoted largely to a denunciation of dancing. and particularly round dances. He said that waltzing was the path to perdition, the road to ever lasting damnation, with much that was even more vehement
 "Whe nthe service was over and they were leaving the church. the lady turned to the administration official, with whom she had waltzed many times, and said:
 Wasn't that grand sermon?
 ''The gentleman smiled and answered with counter question:
 Are you going to give up dancing"
 'r1tterly aatonished that such & per- sonal application of the sermon should be made the lady replied, with great earnestness:
 Why, he didn't mean us!'
 ''Now, President Taft has made, in his message, some statements calculated to disspate the belief so largely prevalent that the law doesn't mean us.' He re- fers to the fact that the court decisions show that the antitrust act has a wide scope and applies to many combinations in actual operation Also he plainly points out that he regards 1t as his duty to institute proceedings against all the industrial companies with respect to which there Is any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have been organized for a purpose and are conducting business on plan which is In violation of the anti trust law

||RON BUSINESS IS ON THE INCREASE. Sound Prosperity Is Expected
 Without Any Boom PRICES WILL BE LOW American Radiator Company Is in the
 Market for Southern Iron While Railroads Are Increasing Car Orders

Cleveland, O., March 23.-(Special.) .)-The Iron Trade Review tomorrow will say:
 When a business shows tendency to in- crease in volume, it is almost invariably at the expense of prices, and present indi- cations are strongly against the prev alence of high quotations as rule throughout the year. Expectations of a boom year are being dismissed, but 1t Is generally believed that we shall witness a period of sound prosperity. Following heavy purchases of pig iron by the leading radiator company,
 the leading company has purchased a company is in the market for from 5000 to 10000 tons of southern iron, and the American Car and Foundry company 10,- 0oo tons of mal1eable and 5000 tons of foundry. The Beaver Dam Malleab1e company, Beaver Dam. Wis, has pur- chased 12.O00 tons of malleabie from Mil-
 waukee and Chicago furnaces.
 A car wheel company at St. Louis has purchased from 10000 to 12,0oo tons of various grades of pig iron, and Con- necticut hardware manufacturing con- cern has bought from 5000 to 5000 tons of No. 2 and No. foundry from New York furnaces. A sale of 5000 tons of southern basic has been made at Cin- cinnati. The basic market in the east Is weaker, owing to reports that the iron can be purchased at less than s16, valley. Sales of limited tonnage have, however, been made at s16. valley fur mace.
 Inquiry for large tonnage of iron by pipe interests are still pending in the east
 The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad has ordered 5000 cars, the Pressed Steel Car company, the American Car and Foun- dry company and the Standard Steel Car company each getting 1000. The order of the Southern railroad is now reported at 3600 ears, of which number 3000 will be built by the Western Steel Car and Foundry company. The New Haven rail- road has ordered 5000 tons of open hearth rail from the Maryland Steel company, and 4500 tons from the Belfast Steel company.
 The Boston Elevated has purchased 1900 company, and 1000 tons are reported to vania interest. The Chicago office of an eastern company has taken orders for 400 tons for street railroads. The Dela- ware, Laekawanna and Western is in the market for 50o,o0o tie plates.

Gainsboroush and His Carrier

From the London Graphic.
 One of the earliest members of the Royal academy, it was Gainsborough' S custom to have his pictures conveyed to the metropolis by @ prosperous Lon don carrier, a MT. Wiltshire of Shock erwick, near Bath. This man refused to accept payment on the ground that he loved pictures too well. He was not, however, allowed to go unreward- ed, for Gainsborough presented him with six of his best works, and some idea of their ultimate value may be gained from the fact that when at length they were sold the National gallery secured two, "The Parish Clerk of Bradford-on-Avon," for 500 guineas. and '"The Harvest Wagon" for s250O, these prices being con- sidered low Later "The Sisters from another gallery realized close upon E10,000.

NEW POLITICAL FORCE
Full Blood Cherokees Con-
clude to Go Into
Politics

Vinita Okla, April 27.-A notable
meeting OF the Cherokee fullblood
Indians will be held at Jay next Sun
day, May /.
AT this meeting in all probability
win be decided which OF the political
parties the fullboods will affiliate
with during the coming campaign. 1t
will be an epoch making meeting, as
1t will mark the entrance or these
people into state politics. something
in which fullbloods have heretofore
taken little active interest.
In other campaigns they have
steadfastly refused to take part or to
east their votes on election day. Now.
however it is believed their prejudice
against the government has subsidized
and that they will soon come into the
full power OF their rights as citizens
Of the state.
A special feature of the meeting
will be the raising OF the "Creager
flag" which is now in possession OF
the Indians. Congressman Creager
offered the flag to the Night Hawks
band OF fnllbloods but It was re
fused because they believed its ac-
ceptance would mean an endorsement
OF Creager The Night Hawks have
never accepted the flag, though the
fullbloods in general have done so
but only as flag and free from po-
litlcal significance.
