PRESIDENT FOR
LONGER SERVICE
SAYS WEST LOSES INFLUENCE
BY CHANGING ITS REP \.
REsENTATiVES.

Washington, D. c., April 1.-Presi-
dent Taft in an address before the
Ohio society Of Washington last night
pointed out that the dominating power
OF the eastern states in congress hes
in the fact that they keep men in Of
fee when they place them there. His
words created mild sensation. He
contrasted the influence of the east in
legislative affairs with the west and
attributed the supremacy of the for
mer to continuous service as legislat-
i've representatives. He said:
when the eastern states get good
representative they keep him as long
as he lives and then he has an inf1u-
ence that vastly exceeds a mere
numerical representation Of popula-
ton"
The president was the guest OF hon
or at meeting called for the purpose
Of organizing the Ohio Society OF
Washington. Justice William r. Day
was elected president.
There is only one thing I want to
say about Ohio that Is Of a
political tinge," said President Taft.
q think a mistake has been made in
recent years in Ohio in failing to con-
tinue as our representatives the same
people term after term. Length of
service is what gives influence

MISSOURI RIVER
CONGRESS ENDS
STREAM is HELD TO BE A FREIGHT
REGULATOR BY STEAM
BOAT CAPTAIN.

Pierre, s. D., April 1.-The Missouri
river congress closed its session yes
terday after the adoption OF resolu-
items Endorsing the general Improve
ment Of the waterways OF the country,
urging the states to assist In the work
and recommending liberal material ap-
preparations for the Missouri river.
The principal feature was the show
ing Of what can be done in the way OF
briquetting Ignite coal in the upper
Missouri country to make it remark
able product all the year. around, thus
making the Missouri river traffic COM
mercially successful.
Captain Baker of the Bismark Steam
boat line declared the Missouri river
as it is at present Is a freight regu-
lator and that small amount Of i'm
provement will mean an immense saw
ing to the people Of the northwest In
freight rates, even il the stream Is not
extensively used for navigation He
said the government is the worst enc
my the river has today and gave as an
example the requirements Of federal
license for any one operating boat
while making no such provision for a
railway engineer.

COUNCIL HOLDS
STRENUOUS MEET
CITY FATHERS RECOMMEND THE
PASSAGE FOR MAYOR PHILLIPS
STREET ORDINANCE.

After a three hours strenuous ses-
sion in which many important matters
were up, the city council last evening
as committee Of the whole recon-
mended the passage of Mayor Phil
lips ordinance regarding the blockad-
ing of the streets by carriages, wagons,
etc. The recommendation Of the cOun-
Gil for the passage Of the mayors ordi-
nance ends the strife between the city
fathers and the city executive. Mayor
Phillips recommended the ordinance
some time ago, but the committee OF
the whole deferred action on 1t, until
the mayor in fiery speech to the city
council at the adjourned meeting Tues
day evening scored them for their ac-
ton. But the council did not pass the
ordinance without some changes. The
changes made include the allowing OF
farmers to leave their wagons or car
riages on the street while they have
their horses in a blacksmith shop or
in feed stable.
The committee of the whole last
light also recommended the paving OF
North Holt street. These two import
ant matters will be brought up at the
council meeting Monday night and
passed accordingly. Special Poll Tax
Collector B. G. Rooms appeared be-
fore the committee Of the whole re.
lative to some poll tax suits. The
hands in the town clock was nearing
the hour Of eleven when the meeting
adjourned.

Reviewing the situation. President
Lewis said: when the national
executive board adjourned last night
we feltt that the prospect was very
satisfactory for the miners. In many
districts It Is now only question OF
the miners and operators sitting down
together and talking over the BUSH
ness.
"In eastern Ohio, where we expected
Strong opposition, 1t Is reported to us
that three Of the largest companies
are ready to sign the contract we
formulated at the recent meeting IN
Cincinnati
"In Indiana and the Hooking dis
trict of Ohio, we will reach settle
ment next week. Probably 1t will be
more difficult In western Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois, where powder and
shot flrers' wage questions are In
volved."
Old Scale Expired in March.
The miners declare the walkout is
not a strike, but merely suspension
of work pending an arrangement be-
tween themselves and the operators OF
a wage scale for another year, the old
scale having expired in March. The
men demand an increase In pay IN
some Instances of five cents a ton ana
in other instances more and certain
changes in working conditions.
The first victory for the men came
IN an announcement from Brazil, Ind,
the center of the Indiana block coal
district, where the mems demands for
S cents increase Is to be granted.

COMMITTEE
SPLIT ALONG
PARTY LINES
BELIEVED CERTAIN THAT BAL
LINGER-PINCHOT INVE STlGA-
TIONS CANNOT TURN IN A
UNANIMOUS REPORT.

Washington, April 1.-The Balm
ger-Pinchot hearing was resumed to-
day with Secretary Ballinger's counsel
in charge of the presentation of evil
dence. As the hearing progresses in
dications multiply that the congress
sfonal committee is SO seriously split
along party lines that unanimous re-
port is beyond the bounds Of POSSIBLE
ity. The Democratic members have
notified their Republican colleagues
that they will participate in the execu-
tive sessions of the committee only
upon the understanding that they
shall be free to announce their votet
and contentious during the public sit
tings. The executive sessions have
not been very harmonious.
Nelson and Brandeis Clash.
The taking of testimony was inter-
rupted today by serious clash among
the members. Chairman Nelson &C.
cused Attorney Brandeis of conceal
ing certain facts and brought from the
latter a demand that the remarks be,
