D|EKEMA WOULD
SUCCEED CANNON
ANNOUNCES CANDI-
DACY FOR sPEAKERsHIP OF
NEXT CONGRESS.
CHAMP CLARK DECLARES NEXT
SPEAKER WILL BE A
DEMOCRAT.

Washington, Jan. 16.-Representa-
tive Diekema, of Michigan, yesterday
announced his candidacy for speaker
of the house, to succeed Joseph G.
Cannon at the end of the present ses-
sion.
Mr.. Cannon had announced that he
will be a candidate for reelection to
congress but has never declared that
he again will be a candidate for the
speakership. Besides Diekema,
number of names of possible speaker
ship candidates have been mentioned,
including Walter I. Smith of Iowa;
Mr.. Olmstead of Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. Mann of Illinois.
Diekema does not believe that Can
non again will be candidate for the
speakership. Il am a regular; not an
insurgent," said Mr.. Diekema. mo
man could ever give me whittier treat
ment than Mr.. Cannon has given me,
and | think he is the fairest presiding
officer l ever saw in the chair.
Il believe the next speakership will
go to the middlewest, but not to any
man who has had long service in con-
gress and has had close afiliation with
the men who have dominated con-
gress. 1t does not seem possible, on
the other hand, that the speakership
will go to any of the present insurg-
ents."
Mr.. Diekema's announcement was
brought out by direct question put
to him whether he would support Can
non for reelection. His reply was
that he could not because he was 60
ing to be a candidate himself He has
been called by Mr. Cannon to preside
over the house temporarily three
times, and has served two terms in
congress. During his service as speak
er in the Michigan house of represent
his ruling on any parliamentary ques-
ton. He has been chairman of the
Michigan state central committee 10
years. Following his announcement
Mr.. Diekema had a conference with
Mr.. Cannon.
q am not candidate for the speak
ership," said Mr. Mann. 81 am for
Uncle joe first, last and always. I
regard him as the very best man for
that office. He has been fairest on
the floor and the ablest presiding of
ficer."
He is overlooking the fact that the
next house will be democratic was
minority leader, Champ Clark's, com
ment on Diekema's announcement. 1t
was suggested that Mr.. Manns activ-
ity on the floor, his vote to recommit
the tariff bill and his position of fear
less independence on other party meas
ures, might figure in the event he
sought the speakership: that Mr.. Ohm
stead comes from an ultra high tariff
state; and that Judge Smith has trou-
bles in his own state delegation.

BluefieldS, Jan. 8, via New Orleans,
Jan 16-The RAPID forwarding OF
plans for attacking Greytown and Ma
nagua are indicated by the increased
rig0rS of censorship. Correspondents
have been informed that the success
of the provisional governments plans
depend upon secrecy in carrying Jnem
out.
The bulk of the provisional troops
which fought at Reoreo now are at
Chile on the MicO river, or beyond.
An advance guard OF 400 OF Genera
Mena's men occupied AcOyapa without
opposition. A fight had been expect
ed there, but Menas scouting party
found the town ungarrisOned and
took possession. Mena himself re-
turned to Rama, i'll from ptoma1ne
poisoning. Estrada, using the mill
tary telegraph line, is directing oper-
atiOns from Rama. A second detail
of the plan includes the capture OF
Greytown by General Matuty. After
Greytown, Matuty is expected to jolh

BILLS
MEET OPPOSITION

Washington, Jan. 16.-President
Taft's bills on the various branches
of conservation, prepared by Mr.. Bal
linger, were discussed yesterday in a
meeting of the house committee on
public lands. Chairman MondelI ex-
patiated upon the reasons for his de-
clination TO introduce the measures
in the house. He objects to the Bal
linger bill for the classification of pub
lie lands as entirely unfeasible. Some
others he regards as impracticable.
There are half a dozen of these con-
servation bills. Some other members
of the committee than Mondell may
introduce them.
The adverse reception of the presi-
dents conservation measures is a mat
ter of large interest. They were the
first of the administration measures to
reach the stage where they have met
strong opposition.

PRESBYTERY OPPOSED TO
ABANDONMENT OF CHURCH.
Petition from Wickliffe Congre=
CATION Is Tabled.

A plan for the abandonment of the
present building of the Wickliife
Church, which was embodied in a petit
tion signed by members of the congre-
CATION, failed at a meeting of the New
ark presbytery yesterday, when, after
some discussion, the petition was
tabled, In brief, the petition asked the
presbytery to sanction the plan of the
congregation to give up h present
quarters. except for Sunday school pur-
poses, the members to attend some
other place of worship in the neighbor-
hood.
ms Rev. William Fl. Stubblebine,
former pastor of the church, said that
the decision of the members of the
church to go to the West Church had
been reached without COLLISION on the
part of himself and the pastor of the
West Church.
The report, which was tabled, says in
part:
That Sunday morning and evening
services be discontinued and that the
members attend worship in the church
most convenient, or wherever they, as
individuals, nay elect.
THAT, in order to conserve the in
,terest of the congregation. n that its
right and title in its property be not
impaired, Sunday school services be
continued as heretofore in the church
Until such time as its property shall be
disposed of and the organization dis
banded, or located elsewhere. That
letters of dismissal be granted to those
who may apply for the same, to the
churches of their individual choice

ing of an old-time dog pound before
the 1910 tax budget is made up.
Chairman Wohlfarth. of the finance
committee, was voted authority to call
a meeting of the committee some time
this month to consider the revising of
the city payroll. The cause for this
step was the presenta ton of a recon-
mendation for increaS SEES in salary in
the department of Tax Board Surveyor
Albert f Manager. The question has
been preached tefore. but the size Of
the task has always deferred the mem
bers. A suggestion tina a sub-com-
mittee take up the WORK was discarded
on the suggestion of City Comptroller
j. Henry Bachelor and others who said
that great pressure would be brought
to bear to have some salaries increased
anyway, and that the matter would
have to be fought out a second time
when the sub-commifte tee presented its
report to the finance committee.

LAREDO, Tex, Feb. 3-Sixty-eight
dead have so far been removed as q
result OF Mexico's greatest mine dis
aster, the blowing up Of the Palau
mine at Las Esperanzas. The list Of
injured numbers nearly sixty more.
The explosion occurred in the No. 3
shaft of the coal mine of the Espe-

tributed to the ignition of gas from

was smoking contrary TO the rules.

followed later by two others, all loaded.
When the cages descended and h men
had made an examination of the first
and second levels, everything was
found to be intact and, beyond being
frightened, the men working in these
levels were safe. They were brought
to the top as rapidly as the cages could
be loaded.

plorations and went down to the third
level, and as soon as the air could be
sufficiently cleared, entered the various
shafts and began a search for the dead.
After six hours work f~ifty-three
bodies were brought to the surface,
while nearly forty injured men were re-
moved to- hospitals for treatment. The
injured owe their miraculous escape to
the fact hat they were working at

CHILD'S FINGER BITTEN
BY 5-YEAR-OLD TOT.

Pretty 9-year-old May Hession. Of 400
High street, went to the City Hospital
today with the index finger of her right
hand badly lacerated, where it had been
bitten by 5-year-old Hilda Hilficker,
who lives at 419 High street, just across
the way from the Hession home. The
doctors. are hopeful that blood poison
ing will not result, and the police are
in the air as to just what to do with
little Hilda. They DO not want to
arrest her because of her extreme
youth, but they may do the next best
thing and give her a scare.
According to the story told the hos
pital authorities and the police, Hilda
is the terror of all the children in the
neighborhood. They say she is of a
lovable disposition until some one
crosses her and Their she allows her
little temper full play. All the older
girls are afraid of her when she Is thus
enraged. 1t is charged that she has
bitten several other girls.
May was On the sidewalk in High
street on her way from school yester-
day when she did something to dis
please Hilda, who ran across the street,
and getting Mays finger in her mouth
bit it until the child almost tainted
with pain. When Mays finger colored
today and began to swell her parents
took her to the city Hospital.

MANUFACTURERS CAUGHT
IN SIDEWALK CRUSADE.
Elaborate signs, Fastened on
Boxes, We're Taken in Raids.

One of the most popular offices In the
City Hall today, TO Judge from the
number of persons who visited it, was
Works C. NJ. Shipinan. Few of the
callers seemed in good spirits, however.
In most cases they went in looking
grouchy and came out looking sourer
still.
With almost nc exception they were
offenders against the Sidewalk obstruc-
ton ordinance. None of them appeared
to realize that just because he had
rever observed the law before he
would have to do so now.
Among the surprises that Mr.. Ship
maj will spring when the time comes
for him to dispose at public auction of
the goods confiscated is one that will
affect several large manufacturing
concerns which did not know that they
were implicated at all.
1t has been the custom of several
soap companies to keep coal boxes
placed on the sidewalks before stores in
good condition il the owners allowed
them to place their signs on the boxes.
These signs, which in some cases
are fairly expensive. were taken along
with the offending boxes. The COM
panies would like to get the signs
back, but as they are a part OF the box
Mr.. Shipman will sell them together
with the recepte ole itself. BY this
plan the superintendent expects to dis
pose of a great many boxes to the
manufacturers in order that they may
get their signs back, whereas, other
wise he might not be able to sell the
boxes at all.
