story goes that Mr.. Pinchot did not
like the hearty manner in which Co

with Secretary Ballinger recently at a
reception at the residence of Congress
man LOngworth.
Dates Farther Buck.
This might have had something TO do
with the trouble, but as a matter of
fact the coolncss dates back TO the
New York republican convention. Mr..
Pinchot, in common with some other
progsessivCs. particularly Senator Cum
Minis, did not like the platform turned
out by that convention which praised
the tariff and endorsed the Taft admin
istratiOn in unqualified terms.
Mr. Pinchot was particularly angered
by the endorsement of Taft, which he
regarded as blow at the cause of the
progressives. He held Colonel Roose-
welt responsible for this. as well as the
plan of approving the Payne tariff. and
he thought the former president should
have used his power in the convention
to avert anything in the nature of
slap al the progressives
DiscIaimcd ReSpon SibiIIty.
Mr.. Roosevelt after the convention.
made it plain that he had nothing to
DO with the framing of the platform.
He devoted his entire attention to the
nomination of progressive ticket and
the unhorsing of the bosses. holding
that was quite enough for one inGivid-
ual TO tackle.
Mr.. PinChot. however, could not for
give the former president for even
sin of omission, and in a number of
public speeches and informal talks dur
ing the progress of the campaign he
gave vent to utterances that were con
strued as criticisms of Colonel Roose-
welt.

SPEAKER HOLDS FEAR
PROMOTES TUBERcULosIs

Washington, May 16.-That fear Is
a greater influence in promoting tub
erculosis than all other causes against
which the public health alarmlsts
are trying to protect the people, was
the assertion Of Charles w. Miller, OF
Idaho, who was the principal speaker
at the meeting of the Associated
Dairymen of the District of Columbia
Maryland and Virginia, held here. In
support of his contention, Mr.. Miller
said that in his state the death rate
from tuberculosis last year gained
more than 12O per cent over the pre-
vious year under crusade OF the
health authorities.
Going into particulars he said that
a state lecturer was employed who
devoted himself entirely to giving
magic lantern exhibitions, depicting
the horrors Of the great white plague
before farmers institutions and gath
erings Of teachers and school children.
"People left these exhibitions
greatly depressed" said Miller, and
with many the depression turned into
terror from perusal of the weekly scare
bulletins which the state tuberculosis
lecturer furnished the newspapers. the
result was that many people were pre-.
nared for consumption and readily TEL
victims to it"
He said he had no doubt that the
antitnberculosis scare had brought ike
results in other states

voice broke in. "You were so kind to

He rose, to meet puzzled, inquir-

wearing the violets, but something
was wrong.
"You were so kind" she repeated in
an odd tone, just touched with frost,

AT
WHITE HOUSE
REPUBLICAN, LEADERS ATTEMPT
TO GET TOGETHER ON
LEGISLATION.
Move Regarded as Necessary by Dis
covery Of Plan Of Democrats to Work
on Both Sides for Incorporation 81
Democratic Ideas in Railroad Bill.

Washington, May 16.-Whether it is
feasible at this late day to wipe out
Republican factional lines and meet on
some common ground that would unite
the insurgents and regulars is the ques-
ton before Republican leaders. It was
raised at conference at the White
House, which began at 1920 p. m. and
continued until lis o'clock a. m.
A great many things were talked
over at the midnight gathering, and a
revised legislative program was made
up tentatively, which it was believed
would command the votes of almost
all regular Republicans. A discussion
followed on the possibility of the Ger.
tain concessions that might attract all
the Republicans Of the senate.
West Well Represented.
Most of the Republican senator's
from the West were present, except
the most radical progressives, La Fol-
lette, Beverage, Cummins, Deliver,
Bristow and Clapp. Among the pro-
gressives who attended were Senators
Nelson, Borah, Brown, Burkett, Dixon,
Gamble and Crawford. These express
ed the opinion that differences between
the insurgents and regulars were not
irreconciliable.
The sudden amalgamation of insur-
gents and regulars of the senate last
Friday, which resulted in the adoption
of an amendment to the administra-
ton bill on the subject of long and
short hauls, appeared to have made
the regulars more tolerant of progress
i've views on the pending measures.
The getting together" was necessi-
tated by the discovery that the Dem
ocrats had formed solid front to Sc
cure the adoption of Democratic pro-
vision relating to long and short hauls,
which was to have been put in motion
after they had voted with the regular
Republicans to defeat the Dixon
amendment, favored by the insurgents.
1t would be difficult to decide wheth-
er the regulars or the insurgents were
the more surprised when they learned
the plans of the Democrats.
Aldrich Advises Union.
A vote had been ordered, under the
unanimous consent agreement, and
there was little time for thought. Sem
ator Aldrich advised his colleagues 1t
was time for the Republicans to get to-
gether. The insurgents, after learn
ing the situation, acquiesced, and both
factions got exactly what they wanted.
but the vote demonstrated they could
unite against the common enemy" At
the White House last night there was
some comment on this fact, and it was
argued IL this could be done on the
long and short haul amendment to the
railway bill, the case Of the remainder
of the administration program was not
hopeless.
