ganization of the navy department. The
committee is badly split on the sub
ject After Secretary Meyer appeared
before the committee today, it was said
that the committee stands nine to nine
on the proposition of approving the
Meyer plan, with one member absent.
The committee is not divided along
party lines. A mixed number of Re-
publicans and Democrats. headed by
Chairman FOss, are opposed to the sec
retary's reorganization scheme.
The committee was considerably
wrought up over the reports that the
secretary of the navy was intending
to discipline Rear Admiral Caps.
chief constructor of the navy. and Rear
Admiral Rogers, paymaster- general.
because of their testimony before the
committee unfavorable to his plan. 1t
S known that both Admiral Caps and
Admiral Rogers We're reluctant to tes-
tify before the committee.
Members of the committee did not
conceal their Indignation today that
lnvore should ATTEMPT TO discipline one
of their witnesses. 1t was reported to-
day that the committee intended re-
porting the matter to the House itself
if either Admiral Caps or Rogers were
disciplined.
1t was reported that the secretary
was asked today to withdraw his plan
and adopt the Newberry plan, which
was asserted to be the plan of the
committee" The latter plan is the one
urged by Former Secretary Newberry
and differs materially from the present
Meyer plan of reorganization. Sec
rotary Meyer it is understood, declined
to agree to the request.

Fisk & Robinson Failure
Affects Stock Market.
New York Bankers Do Not
Fear for Other Bond Houses.
Bronson Winthrop Appointed Re.
celver At Chicago and Boston.

New York, Feb. 1.-The suspension
of Fisk e Robinson, the bond and
banking house. whose failure came
yesterday when Involuntary petition in
bankruptcy was filed against the firm,
was announced at the opening of the
Stock Exchange today. AS result OF
the unexpected news after the close OF
yesterdays business on the Exchange,
the market today opened with declines
running from substantial fractions to
a point or so. with considerable vol
ume of liquidation by spectators who
had not recovered from their nervous
ness, which was caused by the market
break of couple of weeks ago.
The banks holding securities as COL
lateral for loans made to the concern
hrc being urged to retain the securi-
ties for the time being and not sac
rifice them in the present market. 1t
was the opinion of bankers that there
would be no serious disturbance, for
the reason that the banking and bond
house was not a heavy holder of
stocks or ot bonds which were hand
led en- the Stock Exchange.
The principal creditors are num-
Der of interior banks and these insti
tutions are secured. Local banks do
not figure to an appreciate degree as
creditors of the firm. The best judg-
mcnt of the banking community is that
no other bond houses are in danger.
"A detailed statement of the condition
OF the firm will not be forthcoming I'M
til the end of the week.

THE ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM.
Continued from Page One.)

Reading a letter said to have been
written by Rep. Crow of Missouri, tell
ing one of his constituents that if he
should receive an appointment as
census enumerator he would have to
ascertain the relative strength OF IN
surgerts" and Regular" Republicans,
Rep. Robinson Of Arkansas attacked
the bill providing for the 18th census
when that matter was taken up in the
House today.
The letter was in the form of a
newspaper clipping and contained the
statement that the work the census
enumarator would have to do would
be such as any enthusiastic Republi-
can will be glad to do and will not in
any way conflict with your duty as an
enumeration" 1t also stated that this
extra work would be outlined to the
candidate before his appointment Sc
that he need not accept the appoint
ment if he did not desire to do what
would be asked of him.
Still reading from the letter, Robin
son quoted a statement to the effect
that the writer wanted to know wheth-
er he voters were Insurgents or
Regulars" and whether their disaf-
lection was great enough to take them
out of the party altogether.
Bartholdt, Mo-, calling attention to
the absence of his colleague, Crow.
said Grow evidently spoke for himself
only.
Bocher, Mo-, said he would offer an
amendment to the pending bill impos-
ing a fine of $1,000 or Imprisonment for
one year upon any census employee
who asked any person any question
relative to his politics.
Does the gentleman think the secre-
tary of commerce and labor in any
way responsible for these statements
