HOUSE HAS
MADE LITTLE
HEADWAY YET
A Administration Pledges So
Far Are Enacted Upon
by Congress

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Little
Roadway has been made in the two
months that congress has been in
session toward the enactment of i'm
portant legislation demanded by
President Taft, yet on every side are
predictions of an early adjournment.
Thoughtful members are asking each
other what kind of a reception they
will get if they go to the White House
on April Is or May l with plans to
quit work for the summer, if the
administration program is untitled
The question is one that congress
sional leaders admit is giving them
deep concern. The absence of unan-
unity of thought on almost every one
Of the presidents measures is such as
TO make exceedingly difficult the work
mapped out for those who have the
bills in charge. Bills to create a court
of commerce and amend the railroad
rate laws, to establish postal savings
banks, to validate Withdrawals of
public lands wanted for conservation
purposes and to legaliZe national
charters for corporations doing inter-
state business have met with determ-
ined opposition.
From political point of view, re-
publican waters seemingly are be-
coming muddied by the several in
vestigations in progress, and the mi
1ority members appear not unwilling
to let this procedure continue indefi-
'ltely. Inquiries such as >that being
made into the affairs of the interior
department. and the forest service ma
urally are having some effect upon
>lans to amend land laws and enact
egislation for Alaska, and even bear
some extent on the Arizona and
New Mexico statehood bill.
Other Investigations, such as those
'elating to second class mail matter
md the postoffice deficit, and causes
II increased cost of living, tend to
minimize complete redemption of
epubllcan campaign pledges. A con-
erence of republican leaders is being
onsidered and probably will be held
ioon after Senator Aldrich returns
rom Florida, as he is expected to
his week. Vigorous means will be
dvocated to restore some semblance
u order to the chaotic conditions.
The plan most in favor with such

st. Paul Mine REQ opened.

CHERRY, ILL.,, Jan. 30.-The St
Paul mine, in which more than 200
miners have been entombed since
November 10, when fire caused the
death of $50 men, will be unsealed
tomorrow or Tuesday. 1t is thought
that 40 bodies are floating in water
in the bottom of the mine More than
800 other corpses are said to be hud-
died in the second level. The con-
dition of the bodies is causing as
much concern as are the engineering
problems attendant on the uncapping
of the mine and the cleaning of the
debris from the subterranean pas
sages. 1t has been suggested that
the bodies be chemically destroyed in
the mine galleries.

IN CURTIS MACHINE USED
BY PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL

BAKERSFIELD, Cal, Jan. 30
Charles K. Hamilton sailed OVER Hud-
nut park today in his Curtiss biplane
to the delighted and vociferous ap-
plause of 5000 enthusiastic spectators
Special trains brought thousands of
visitors to this city to the first avia-
ton meet ever held in the San Joa-
Quin valley.
Owing to the roughness of the
ground In the infield Of the park
Hamilton in alighting after his sec
ond fight, damaged his machine to
such an extent that he was unable to
make further flights.
In his two efforts, Hamilton easily
circled the circumference of the park
and flew over the grandstand, making
side trips to East Bakersfield and the
Kern river oil fields at a varying
height of from SO TO, 500 feet.

republican leaders as are now in
Washington is for a Encouragement of
the Taft policies, placing them in
order of executive preference or in
such sequence as it is thought would
most benefit majority of the party.
1t has been declared that no progress
will be made so long as some leaders
are pushing interstate commerce leg
islation, others conservation policies,
and others postal savings banks or
federal incorporation laws.
At present the house is occupied
with appropriation bills; in the sen-
ate two administration measures-the
postal savings bank bill and the
Alaskan legislative council-are being
placed against each other. Opposition
has developed against both, and re-
publican leaders say the present tao
ties affect the chances OF both. The
statehood bill is ready for consider
alton by the senate, and the army
appropriation bill will be reported to-
morrow.
The several propositions before the
house for the elimination of Speaker
Cannon from the committee on rules,
and for the enlargement of the COM
mittee, form a basis of informal dis
cussion. No one is willing to predict
when questions involved in these res
buttons will come to a SHOW down."
There are various ways in which the
matter could be brought up on the
floor, and it may be precipitated sud-
denly or be deferred for weeks.
Many members of the house are alb
sent on account of approaching pri-
maries in their districts

BAY STATE TO ACT FIRST
Income Tax to Prove Bone of Conten-

BOSTON, Jan. S0.-It is expected
that Massachusetts will be the first
northern state to go on record on
the proposed amendment to the in

joint committee of the legislature on
federal relations, and, beginning to-
morrow, that committee will be ready
to hear arguments on the measure
and will report it by the last of Feb
ruary. The intimations are that the
house will favor the income tax, and
that the senate will oppose it, which
means that Massachusetts, will vote
mo" in the convention of states.

GREAT WEALTH OF POWER
Commissioner of New York Reports
interesting Facts in Annual
Document

ALBANY, n. Y, Jan. 3O.-New
York distances all other states in the
gross total of hydraulic power in use,
according to the fifth annual report
of the state water supply commits
sion. The commission estimates that
1,500, 900 horse power can be develop
ed on interior streams of New York
without counting the Niagara and st.
Lawrence rivers.
1t says this great reserve of power,
equal to nearly a third of all the
water power in use in the United
States, is sufficient to displace all
power now derived from coal and to
provide the state with all the motive
power it will need for as many years
as one an foreSee.
The commission estimates that wa
ter energy now running waste has a
yearly value of at least $15,000,00O.
