Cincinnati, Dec. H.-At to-day's session

publican leader of the county organiza-
ton, was trying bard to manipulate the

nesses for the Democrats.
Attorney Edward Tepe. one of the con-
testants, declared to-day at the hearing
that the Cox people were bringing all
their forces 10 work against the probe.
'"They have sent men 70 the detective
agency 10 get employment as detectives, %
said Tepe. They have also sent other
men there to make false oath that they
had been bribed. so that later. on the
stand. they could make denial OF the
truth Of the affidavit, and discredit the
contestants.
II was intimated that some such in
fluence had been brought to bear upon
witness Charles A Stein, roomer IN

day stated that ne and fifty other dodgers
at the same place had been given 81 each

TAFT C0NSULTS LEADERS.
President Anxious for Legislation
Outside Appropriation Bills.

President Taft's hopes for legislation
outside the appropriation bills was
strengthened yesterday by a talk with
Representative John Dwight, of New
York, Republican whip of the House. Mr.
Dwight told the President that he had
never seen such progress with appropria-
ton measures at a short session.
He believed that the President will find
the leaders Of both houses ready to back
his legislative programme. and so far
there has been no indication of opposi-
ton from the insurgents, except possibly
to the proposed ship subsidy legislation
Beginning to-day, the President will
hold conferences with leaders on legis-
lative topics. One of the first TO be con-
sdered will be the fertilization of the
Panama Canal. The President is in
tensely interested in this subject, but
it is known that it win not have smooth
sailing. Following the conference on
Panama will come others, at which
Speaker Cannon. Senators Aldrich and
Hale. and inSurgent leaders will be con-
suited.

HOUSE MEMBERSHIP
WILL Be ENLARGED
Appointment Bill to Pro-
vide for 430 or More.

II is now practically assured that the
apportionment bill to be reported after
the holidays will be 50 drawn as 70 in
sure to each OF the States that have
fallen of in population a continuance of
their present representation in the House.
A canvass Of the membership discloses
that an apportionment bill that would
reduce the representation Of any of the
States that have declined in population
cannot be passed. The States affected
are represented by more than one hun
dred members. among them being Ohio,
Maine, Iowa, Indiana, Kentucky, Vir-
ginla. and the Carolinas.
After a review Of the situation the
leaders have come to the conclusion that
If the apportionment bill is to be passed
at this time it must provide for House
OF approximately $50 members.
IN this connection a proposal has been
made that win require serious considera-
ton. II is that the new apportionment
act shall contain a provision directing the
Secretary OF Commerce and Labor, who
is the Immediate superior of the Director
OF the Census, TO carry out the work of
apportionment under fixed rules 10 be
prescribed by Congress. This plan was
in operation for twenty years, beginning
in 1850 when the Secretary of the In
terror, under whose direction census
work was done at that time, was charged
with the duty of making appointments.
The theory of this plan is TO some ex-
tent to remove the apportionment from
the sphere OF politics. and may prove an
obstacle to further enlargement Of the
House when the time comes TO make an
other apportionment ten years hence.
Chairman Crumpaeker, of the House
Committee on Census. said yesterday
that the committee intends to report an
apportionment bill soon after Congress
meets in January. Whether the meas
ure viii be passed at this session is
mathematical

Many Reform Measures.


Many Reform Measures.
Trenton. ". j.. Dec. 27-When the Re
publican members OF the New Jersey
senate came out OF law-making pro-
gramme conference here this afternoon
it was evident that the senate. which will
be Republican by a small majority. will
attempt TO make Republican capital at
the expense Of Gov.-elect Wilson and the
Democratic house by passing a mass Of
legislation between the time of meeting
of the legislature on January 10 and the
Inauguration Of Gov. Wilson on Janu-
airy II.
In the past it has been a rule in the
legislature to spend the first weeks Of
the session each year with d lot OF pre-
iiminary work of minor Importance. This
year it is planned by the Republicans TO
pass a number OF reform measures in
record time by introducing them the OPEN
ing day of the session, referring them 10
committees forthwith and then rushing
them through the necessary readings to
final passage by the end of the first week
OF the session.
Among the measures which viii be pass
/ ed Is one dealing with advanced public
utilities ideas The few Republican Sena-
tors who were in the conference refused
to discuss what was done, but the usual
leaks clearly indicate that the plan is

before he has even started upon his ad-
ministration.

COMPLETE PROBE OF TRUST.
WicLersham Is Ready 20 Proceed
Against Electrical Combine.


The Department Of Justice Is about
ready 10 institute proceedings against the
so-called electrical trust, which il says
dwarfs into insignihcance the Standard
Oil and other great combinations. Al
though Attorney General Wickersham will
not even be seen. and although his chief
trust buster, William S. Kenyon, referred
all inquirers to his chief. it is known that
the investigation Of the trust has been
completed. AS has been stated in The
Washington Herald, the first prosecution

bination which controls the price of in
candescent lamps. This proceeding will
be brought under the Sherman antitrust
law. and viii be a civil suit As yet Off

they shall institute criminal proceedings.
The electrical trust is expected to raise
the contention that il operates under
patents which practically give il a mo-
nopoly The patents, the defendants are
expected to argue, give them a monopoly
not amenable 10 the Sherman antitrust
law. This question OF monopoly under
a patent has never been decided by the
Supreme Court, and the case takes added

of the Democrats.

GibbOn. in his Decline and Fan Of the

sometimes deserved, but Charlemagne Is
