According to a story at the Capitol
yesterday afternoon, Senator Gordon in
advertently overlooked the Vice Presi-
dent when he distributed seats to his
colleagues last Wednesday and invited
them to be his guests at the opening
nights performance tomorrow When
one of the oldest members of the Senate
called his attention to the, oversight, the
picturesque Mississippian expressed the
greatest CONSERVATION and declared he
would right the wrong instantly.
Appearing at the box Office of the Co
lumbia Theater shortly afterward, Sena-

chastisement to the man behind the win

In Harmony with Mann.
Attorney General Wickersham ap-
peared yesterday before the House COM
mittee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce 10 discuss in detail the Townsend

The committee was in executive ses-
sion, and after adjournment a lot OF
sensational reports we're put out TO the
effect that Mr.. Wickersham and Repre-
sentative Mann, of Illinois. chairman OF
the committee had had several clashes.
Investigation. however. not only failed
to confirm these rumors, but developed
the fact that the session of the commit
tee was more than ordinarily harmonious.
The Attorney General appeared before
the committee at the request OF Chair
man Mann. and, according to both Re-
publican and Democratic members. there
was not one sharp word spoken during
the entire afternoon.
From present indications. the railroad

Meat packers. who are having their
troubles in Federal and state courts. will,
in all probability, have the opportunity
of explaining to the Senate committee
that is undertaking an investigation Of
the high cost of living the charge that
they have conspired TO raise artihcialiy
the prices Of meat products TO consumers.
The Senate committee decided at
meeting yesterday to include within the
scope Of the investigation an inquiry into
the effect OF combinations upon the prices
of commodities. The suggestion was adj
vanced that the meat packers should be
among the first witnesses summoned be-
for the committee, and 1t met with inn
mediate approval.

lines for the conduct of the general in
quiry. The subjects to be covered were
gone over and agreed upon. These will
be submitted to the government depart
ments with the request that all infOrma-
ion pertaining TO the subjects mentioned
be placed at the disposal Of the COM
mittee. Until this information is obtained
there will be no definite decision as to the
witnesses who will be invited.
In addition TO its decision TO inquire
into the effect Of combinations upon the
prices Of commodities the committee also
agreed to make an investigation of the
effect OF cold storage plants upon prices
and their methods OF doing business.
Tariffs Effect on Prices.
The committee decided also 10 investi-
gate any effect the tariff may have had
upon the increased prices. The invoice
prices and the market prices Of all inn
ported articles mentioned in the tariff IN
April. 1863. will be obtained and compared
with the same prices and the market
prices at the IFesent time.
Foreign and wholesale prices as far
back as 1900. Up TO and including the
present year also. will be included in
the comparisons.

tons to the gold coinage. both in the
United States and in the world, from 1897

bic from the United States consular re-

TAFT PLANS
To END THE
PATRONAGE

Washington, Nov. 1.-President Taft
will make a change this winter in the
business management Of the executive
end of the nations affairs which prom
Uses to be radical and at the same time
to strengthen his chances of renomina-
ton and reelection in 1912.
At the coming session of congress
the president will recommend Post
master General Hitchcock's pet plan,
the placing of second and third class
postmasters under civil service. The
recommendation win go forward in
one of the several messages which Mr..
Taft will send to congress, after which
he will use all influence at his COM
mand to get the measure passed.
This will be but the ~forerunner of a
greater change in the management of
the executive departments Of the gov
eminent and what friends of the pres
ident believe will be a political coup.
If President Taft is successful In
having congress place the 10000 or
more second and third class postmas-
tiers under civil service he will imme-
diately take steps to have all collectors
of customs and internal revenue placed
on the permanent rolls of the govern
ment.
This would NEAR the taking away Of
all patronage senators and representa-
tives now possess. Mr.. Taft realizes
that it is almost revolutionary and that
before the members of congress let go
of any of 1t they will put up a hard
fight.
: Mr.. Taft wants to accomplish this
change, an economic change, as he
calls it, before the time for selecting
delegates to the next national Repub-
lican convention comes. The President
figures that he has the members of
the house and senate on the run so far
as getting legislation through this SEES
sion is concerned, and he will take adj
vantage Of his opportunity.
1t is figured that with a presidential
election but two years off and the PEG
pie of the country talking and demand
ing conservation of everything, even In
federal expenditures, the house viii
certainly pass a measure such as he
will recommend, even if it be a Demo
cratic house.
Friends of the president point out
that If he does get this plan through
his denomination and reelection are
almost assured.
