today he took the first step to prevent
the possibility of such an outcome.
Senator Keane of New Jersey, chair
man of the committee which just now
controls the Investigations in the sen

house today and converted to the
presidential view point. Resolutions
by Senator Elkins, the near insur-
gent, and by Senator Lodge, are be-
fore Kean's committee on contingent
expenses in the senate and when he
left the white house today Keane
said that one or the other will be re-
ported out on Monday. Then the in
vestigation will be on in earnest.
The agitation over the high cost OF
living has stirred up both the leaders
in congress and the president. Every
public official is being swamped with
letters from constituents demanding
that something be done.
Everything was under way for lit,
tie investigation to quiet things. The
ways and means committee of the
house, full of high tariff men, was pre-
pared to engineer the house end OF

CHICAGO, H., Feb. Whether
President Taft, who will visit Chicago
on March II will come as the guest
of the 1rishmen of Chicago to cele-
brate st. Patrick's Day or as the
guest of a committee appointed to
boost the Presidents conservation
policies, is the weighty question which

Walter Fisher, chief conservation
ist of Chicago. says the president
comes as the guest of his committee.
The Irish Fellowship club at meet
ing this afternoon disputed this state
ment and declared officially that the
president will be that clubs guest and
that Fisher is ''buttinsky.''
1t appears that the Irish Fellowship
club last August invited the Presi-
dent to come to Chicago on st. Pat

day the president accepted. On
Thursday the Irishmen declare Mr.
Fisher heard about the presidents
acceptance and tried to steal the

North America has there been soS
widespread a strike as that which will

some agreement before that time,
Owing to the failure of the Joint scale

ment Of the conference without any

uation is conceded by both minersI

be one to force operators to organize
an association so that the miners may
treat with them in joint confer
ence and settle upon contract for the
bitunlinous coal fields of the United

Certain Death to the Proposition is
Predicted From the Hands

IGate City Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The plan
Of Secretary of Navy Meyer for the
reorganization of the navy is doomed
to meet certain death at the hands OF
congress. This is what even friends
of the plan deduce from the hearings
Of the measure beofre the public com
mittee on the naval affairs this week.
Members of the house naval comml-
tees are unsparing in their criticism of
the navy secretary for attempting to
prevent officers who oppose his plan
from testifying before the committee
and the presence of former Secretary
of the measure before the public com
tee rooms on several occasions is de-
clared to have influenced the members
against the Meyer plan.
Newberry's scheme had the sup
port of some of the officers who are
now opposing the Meyer scheme, and
they say that while the navy needs
| Reorganization. zee Meyer plan is not
the right way TO do it.
The committee today sent copy oi
the testimony of Rear Admiral Capps
who opposed the Meyer scheme te
Rear Admiral Cone with the request
/ that he defend the points in the Mey
er plan which were attacked by Capps
This action, it is declared tonight
means that the opponents Of Meyer
