reason for this change is easy to discover.
New York Is becoming so vast that no one
street can contain all It's great enterprises.
Beside this Broadway. as 1t runs north
ward, turns far to the west OF the center
OF Manhattan. Fifth avenue, above Madi-
son Square. occupies this center all the
way to the Harlem river, and Fifth avenue,
therefore. is becoming In this district New
York's main artery OF trade and traffic.
In this new eenter-at Fifth avenue and
Fifty-fifth street-is the Hotel st. Regis,
a hotel designed, built, furnished, equipped
and maintained for patrons OF refined and
discriminating tastes. The st, Regis has
earned for itself the deserved title Of

Gamble Bill
to Be Favored
Senate Committee Decides to Turn
Indian Lands Over to Public
for School Purposes.
cFrom a staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6-(Special Tele-
gram.)-The senate committee on public
at it's meeting today decided to re-
port favorably the Gamble bill which pro-
vides that something like 100, 900 acres of
land in the Cheyenne and Standing Rock
Indian reservations In alternate sections
are to be turned over to the states Of
North and South Dakota for school pur-
poses. The bill also fixes the price which
shall be paid these Indians at $3.50 per acre
and the measure ~appropriates $4,000 to
carry out this provision.
An effort was made by those interested
10 reduce to $125 per acre the amount
which should be paid them for their lands,
but this failed in committee owing to a
most vigorous protest from the officials
Of the Indian bureau, who stoutly main
tanned that the lands sought were easily
worth from IS to $40 per acre and even
$3.50 per acre was, II anything, too small
reimbursement for these lands. The bill
also carries an appropriation Of $4,000 to
complete allotmeDts OF lands to Indians
now In progress.
The senate today confirmed the nomina-
ton Of John H. Davis TO be postmaster al
RushviIle, Neb., to succeed m M
Brooks, resigned, and also confirmed the
nomination of Perry L. Smith TO be post
master at Rawllns, Wyo.

Il van to say that this effort to defeat
us by starting fights against us at homt
is open to vigorous criticism. 1 have no
objection to Speaker Cannon or any of his
supporters coming to Nebraska and making
any kind Of a fight on me they wish to
make, but 1 do deny that the republican
congress has any honorable right to attack
me. 1t is unjust and unfair.
The fight of the insurgents in the house
will continue against Speaker Cannon and
the house rules, which he personifies. We
will not, however, oppose any policy of the
president so long as 1t Is republican
doctrine"

NORRIS TALKS FOR INSURGENTS

ras Says They Are Not Scared
by Patronage Threat.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-"The insurgent
republicans of the house are not intimidated
by the action Of the administration in with
holding patronage from them and are not
scared into silence by any apparent com
bination Of President Taft and Speaker
Cannon"
This was the declaration Of Representa-
tive Norris Of Nebraska, one of the leading
insurgents Of the house. Mr.. Norris re-
scented stories appearing in one or two
Washington and New York newspapers to-
day to the effect that the insurgents were
lying down" under the edict OF the ad-
ministration. On the contrary, Mr.. Norris
returned to the attack and criticised Presi-
dent Taft himself for the act Of the ad-
ministration In singing out insurgent rep
r~esentatives for punishment.
president Taft Is making a grave mis-
take By aiding Cannon in this way, and /
want to say so unhesitatingiy," continued
Mr. Norris. Il do not object, nor do any
OF the insurgents object, as far as 1 know,
to the Withholding OF patronage from us.
But / denounce this Singing out of the
men who nave opposed Canno and the
house organization for an infliction oil

I How can the president say we are OPP
posed to his policies and declare that we
are 20 be punished for II. when we have
not opposed his policies In any way? VS.

Tsft's policies are to be. We a W not ever

be forced to bind himself in the matter Of
the selection Of a senator previous to his
election. The law is not compulsory, so
there is no use for a republican candidate
for the legislature to agree to vote for a
democrat.
II am satisfied that a senatorial candi-
date cannot be nominated at the primary.
Under our constitution It is up to the
Legislature to elect the senator and until
that constitution is changed senator's will
be elected by the legislature.
1T would be a nice thing for Mr. Bryan
to be the only democratic candidate for
the senate and then have several repub-
leans running and thus permit him to
get a plurality OF the votes at the Novem-
beL election.
II believe this Is a matter which should
be taken up by the republican state COM
mittee at an early date, to be followed
later by a denuneiation OF the law by the
I republican state convention"
