WILL HELP COHEN.
Miss DeJanon Will Testify for Him in
Any Legal Proceedings.

Chicago, Jan. 11.-Roberta de Janon.
the Philadelphia heiress. who was ar
rested here yesterday in company with
Frederick Cohen, was apparently none
the worse today for her night with the
matron of the woman's annex of Har-
riscu street police station. Cohen re-
manned all night in a cell at the Chi
cage avenue police station.
The clippers were formally examined
today and plans formulated for their
| return to Philadelphia.
Miss de Janon today admits she
/ will be glad when the Philadelphia
authorities arrive to take her back
home. She says she is perfectly willing
to go back to school.
q can swear that the girl actually
| induced me to accompany her. She
| threatened to kill herself unless 1 went
with her. All | ever had was platonic
| friendship and fatherly feeling for
her.
Cohen talked freely from his cell
and told about his life and relations
with Miss DeJanon from the time of
their first meeting. He emphatically
denied the report that he had more
than one wife living He said that he
has wealthy relatives in Vienna and
that his father was a prominent men,

even if she is an heiress,'' said cohen,
II did not influence her to leave Phil
adelphia. She may be young but she
has the sense and understanding of a
woman of 25.
Roberta DeJanon, the Philadelphia
heiress, who was arrested here yester-
day with Frederick Cohen, hotel
waiter, with whom she eloped Dec. 30,
said today that if court proceedings
were begun against Cohen she would
be his chief defender. She was en-
ph2tc in her declarations that the
elooement was all her fault and that
Cohen was in no way to blame.
"Mr. Cohen is in the right" she said.
1T was 1 who persuaded him to leave
Philadelphia; it was he who refused;
it was he wEo asked me day after day
to return to my grandfather and it was
he who cared for me. If they bring ac-
ton against Fred l shall certainly go
to his defence. He has done nothing
amiss. 1 will always defend Fred"

janOn Defends Cohen,

Philadelphia, Jan. 11.-Opposing
in the elopement of Roberta DeJanon,
the 17year-old heiress and Frederick
Cohen, the waiter of the Bellevue
Stratford, which terminated yesterday
in Chicago, are held by the girls
grandfather, Robert BUST, the mil
lionaire seedman, and Mrs. Cohen, the
wife who was deserted when the
couple fled from this city on Dec. 30
Mr.. BUST declares his granddaughter
did not realize what she was doing
and was the victim of a cunning ad-
venturer.
Detectives are now on their way to
Chicago to return the girl to her
grandfather and to bring Cohen here
to face a charge of abduction.
According to Mr. Bust's attorney,
the prosecution will be based upon an
act of the Legislature which provides
a severe penalty for the wilful taking
away of another person for the pur-
pose of profit or any personal motive.
Counsel declared today that. Cohen can
be held under this law even if he is
able to prove that the girl consented
TO accompany him, because of his I'M
due influence over her and the great
disparity in their ages.
Mrs. Cohen says she will stick to
her husband. She says she has no
sympathy for the girl, who, she says
wanted an escapade and chose her
husband to accompany her.
He was a loving and faithful hus-
band until he became a victim of that
foolish girl"ssaid the wife today, land
/ am going to stick to him through his
troubles"
She refused to say whether she will
proceed with the $4,000 suit against
Mr. Buist and Miss DeJanon for the
alienat ton of her husbands affection.
for which she engaged counsel last
week.
Mr. Buist has fully forgiven the girl
for her 'escapade and will do every
thing in the world to make her happy
While he is overjoyed at the finding of
his granddaughter, he has not per
ward Cohen. He is bent upon having
the man prosecuted to the limit of the
law, but in this he may not be able to
succeed. 1t is believed here that the
girl will plead to have Cohen go I'M
punished and that the extent of the
punishment to be meted out to Cohen,
Il any, will depend upon the influence
the runaway girl can bring to bear up-
m the grandfather.

House Pairs Must Be Made
At Speakers Desk.
Speaker Will Designate Refer
enceS Of Presidents Message.
Senate Has Not Fairly Settled Down
To Work Of Session.

Washington, Jan. 11.-An ancient
custom of the House of Representa-
tives which has been in use for so
wears, was overturned today by Rep.
Dwight of ~ Y. the Republican whip,
when he instructed the pair clerks at
the Speakers desk to cease pairing Re-
publican members excepting under
prescribed conditions. The move is de-
clared by Democrats and insurgents to
be a move against the latter and in
tended to give the organization an adj
ditional leverage when close votes oc-
cur.
Garner of Texas, the temporary
Democratic whip, stated that Dwight
had instructed the pair clerks to make
no pairs excepting on Dwights APP
provaI. This Dwight denies but the
Jrshoot of the matter was that car
ncr invoked as countermove a long
buried and hitherto unobserved rule
of the House and members hereafter
will nc required to make their pairs
in writing at the Speakers desk.
The rule REQUIRES that two members,
desiring to be paired, must announce
such intention at the Speakers desk.
Rep. Garner in order to counteract the
move Of Mr.. Dwight. gave instructions
to the Democratic pair clerk that no
pairs were to be allowed at the desk
excepting in strict accordance with this
rule on the subject.
Under the order attributed to
| Dwight, he would be able to control
the voting of absentees or those de-
string to be paired which. 1t was
pointed out would not work to the
advantage of the House Insurgents,
since the Republican whip is working
in harmony with the regulars.
The move of the Democrats. if sue"
cessful, may result in greatly limiting
the preparation of pairing as wen as
perhaps multiplying the effort OF the
Republican regulars to embarrass the
| Insurgents. 1t would also, no doubt,
aid any Insurgent who might be labor
ing under official displeasure and dis
elimination by enabling him to ar
range q pair by going to the Speaker
desk.
No caucus of the House Republicans
| in the Ballinger- Pinchot committee
has been called.
The Democrats probably will caucus
on the SUBJECT the idtteT pat - 49,
| week. The joint Senate and House
Republican caucus which will be held
tomorrow night in the House OF KEEP
resentatives will result in no fight be-
tween the Regulars and the Insurgents.
Nothing but the selection of a new Re-
publican congressional committee can
be considered under the call and this
| is not expected to cause more than a
mere possible discussion of insurgency
| in some Of the states from which
members of the committee are to be
chosen. All of the Insurgents have re-
ceived the regular notices of the eau
Gus and will attend.
Following the secret meeting Of the
Republican Insurgents at the home Of
one of their number last night, the ~
who were present were loath to discuss
the details Of what occurred. No def
mite plan for the future has been
adopted.
The attitude Of the Insurgents on
the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation is
still in a nebulous state.

Other matters affecting the Insur-
gent members are in allegiance and
nothing decisive will develop until
some actual occasion of conflict arises.
An effort to take away from Speak
err Cannon the power to determine
what part of the recent message Of the
President should go to the House COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce and what part to the Judiciary
committee, was defeated in the House
today.
A rule providing for the reference was
reported early in the proceedings by
Chairman Payne of the committee on
ways and means, and after lying on the
table for long time was called up Tor
consideration. vigorous protest against
the resolution was made up Underwood
of Alabama, acting as minority floor
leader
1.-THE whole issue for which we have
been fighting for the past month is in
volved," he said. ut Is whether the
Speaker shall control the House or the
House shall control the Speaker" He
said the country expected the members
to be responsible and did not want the
Speaker to direct their legislation. Rep.
Gaines of West Virginia in reply declared
that the House already had the power In
the daily regular order of business to seek
change Of reference.
The resolution as passed carried COM
mittee amendment providing that so much
of the message as relates to the judiciary
be referred to the judiciary, and so much
Of the message as relates to Interstate
commerce be referred to the committee
on interstate and foreign commerce. Thus
the Speaker would be given the power to
determine to which committee should go
the section of the message relating to the
proposed United States court Of commerce
and the section relating to the federal
incorporation Of corporations doing an
interstate business.
Rep. Carrot of Tennessee offered an
amendment specifically referring the sec
tons relating to federal charters to the
committee on judiciary, but 1t was lost
and then the resolution itself was agreed
to by viva voce vote.

Passage Of Army Appropriation Bill
White sIasA Traffic.

Washington, Jan. 11.-After passing the
army appropriation bill, carrying the sum
of $95, 900 for the maintenance Of the
army during the fiscal year OF 1911. the
House today proceeded to consideration
of one Of the so-called white slave bills.
Opposition developed to that portion or
the measure reported by the immigration
committee which makes 1t a felony for
any person to assist another to 80 from
one state to another for the purpose OF
engaging in prostitution. It was con-
tended by Reps Bartlett Of Georgia, Geo.
bel OF Ohio and Richardson OF Alabama
that such action would be an encroach-
ment upon states rights, as under the
Constitution each has the sole power to
regulate its own morals.
Reps Bennett Of New York, Austin Of
Tennessee, Burnett Of Alabama and Adair
Of Indiana spoke in favor Of the bill.
which Is aimed at the exclusion Of i'm
moral aliens and the exclusion and pun
ishment Of their procurers. Mr.. Mann's
bill simply enlarges upon the interstate
commerce feature Of the pending measure
so as to prevent white slave trafac be-
tween the states.

c1ude from the country all undesirAbles.

AFTERMATH OF
REP. CONVENTION
IS INTERESTING

Now that the clouds of battle have
partially blown away from the scene
of Saturdays carnage at the repuh-
liCan convention, review Of the
scrimmage is interesting
The resolutions as adopted by the
convention contained no reference TO
Senator Simon Guggenheim, although
a prominent republican Office-holder
had in his pocket a set of resolutions
commencing the senior Colorado sen-
ator. He was never given a chance
at the ears of either the committee or
convention.
Nor was any reference made to
Hon. Merle ID. Vincent and his as
pirations for the gubernatorial nom
ination. Vincent claims to be a pro-
gressive, and the convention claimed
to be progressive, but there was no
thing doing for the Paonia gentle
man.
And. further, there was no men
tion made of State Senator Horace T.
DeLong, the stalwart representative
of something or other in the legisla-
ture. 1t was early explained to the
Mesa County senator that he could
expect nothing at the hands of any
body.
This did not deter him. however,
from showing some peevishness by
Offering a resolution that no dele
gate to the state convention should
travel thence on pass. His sugges-
tion was voted down, although there
were several who seconded the mo-
ton Strange to relate, the very ones
who were loudest in the protest
against the use of passes were among
the first to make application for free
transportation the next day at the
hands of the county chairman. Such
is consistency among reformers-
sometimes.
Karl A. Bickel left Saturday night
for Denver and Colorado Springs, for
the purpose, it is rumored, of domi-
nating(0 the state convention the
same as he did here. Edwin Price
and others of the cohorts have also
departed or are about to depart for
the scene of further victories or de-
feats.
There is very persistent rumor
being circulated about that Senator
DeLong has decided not to permit his
name to go before the congressional
convention, because of the press of
private business at home.

AVATORS ATTEMPT
TO FLY ACROSS ALPS
tBy Associated Press ]

Brig, Switzerland, Sept. 19.-Al-
though the weather was unpropi-
tious for the bold undertaking. Mr..
Weymann (American) and George
Chavez (Peruvian) attempted the
aeroplane flight across the Alps to-
day.
Both of the aviators failed in their
attempt; but not until they had Civ
en- pretty exhibitions of high flying
that promised better success in fair
weather.
During the night a stiff breeze was
blowing in the Simplon pass and the
mountain peaks were hidden in a
dense fog. Rather than chance a
landing on some uncertain point on
the cliffs, the aviators decided to
postpone the hazardous venture for
another day.
To clear the Simplon pass it will
be necessary for the flyers to main
tain an altitude of some 1000 feet
during the first half hour of the
flight. The aviators must fly over
Simplon pass and down across Lake
Maggiere to Milan, Italy.
