Regulars Expect Further
 Trouble With Insurgents CANNON RULES, RED RAG
Always Likely to Provoke Outbreak Probability of Opposition to Administra- tion Bills, Especially Fed eral Incorporation Bill

Washington, Jan. 16-No matter how satisfactory the arrangement
 made for the selection of joint com mittee to investigate the Saliinger- Pinchot controversy. the snsurgent fight promises to occupy a prominent
 place in the congressional situation this week
 ties in the house as soon as the Ballin- -Pinchot committee is appointed is conceded, but those who are anxious that legislation may proceed without delay are not sanguine of the efforts to keep the insurgent row checked They look for an outbreak whenever a question affecting the Cannon rules is interjected into the proceedings.
 Second in interest to the discussion of the battle between the republican organization and the insurgents of the house is the gossip in both branches of congress as to what will be the fate of the administration bills to put into force what are now known as the Taft policies. These embrace a program for the amendment of the interstate com AhSAet ioWSs ehc oA eic Sherman antitrust law and conser- vation- Little opposition has been heard to the administration measure for strengthening the interstate com- merce act. On all sides 1t seems con- ceded that some such measure will be enacted
 The insurgents in the senate expect to hold conference to consider their attitude on the administration bills. Comments on the federal incorcpora- tion bill >haye not been altogether favorable. Some oppose it on the ground that it interferes with the rights of the states to tax the property of corporations, while others believe that if the decision in the Standard Oil case is affirmed by the supreme court that company will be the first to take advantage of the voluntary federal in act Opposition to the Standard oil company as a monopoly impels members of congress against any measure designed to give relief to any trust.

Paris. Jan. I6.-France has been aroused by the American exposure of the white slave traffic and has entered into the campaign with en- ergy and determination to put an end to the tribute of young French womanhood paid to this modern Mino- taur f
 Communications on this subject have been passed between the state department at Washington and the district attorneys office in New York and the French government Full details of the traffic as learned in the American investigations have been asked for and received.
 These have been turned over to the Prefecture of Police with instructions that this traffic. so far as it con- cerns France must be wiped out. The police will act in full accord with the police of Italy. Austro- Hungary, Russia and Germany. which form the principal territory in which these traffickers in young women operate and there is determination all along the line to run these infamous creatures down and put them behind the bars.
 Information already gathered makes it certain that this traffic is thor oughly organized. not only in the United States. but throughout Con- tinentaI Europe as well
 J. Pierpont Morgan. who is a power in France. as well as in the United States. is interested in the warfare against the white slave deal CTS. and he has had much to do in arousing governmental action.

 Congo Atrocities.

Paris. Jan. 16-Baroness Vaughan. wife of the late King Leopold. pos sesses many letters and documents which if published will throw much light on various matters of recent and contemporary history. Among other information. she has list of the news papers in all parts of the world which have drawn subventions from the press bureau of the Congo Free State to sup press the truth about atrocities perpe- trated there by Belgian officials.

AVIATION FIELD N MUD.
But the Going Overhead Was Pretty Good and the Accommodating Aviators Kept Crowd Entertained
 By Fancy Maneuvering

Los Angeles. Jan. 16.-The wind and rain conspired today to test the mettle of the airships flying on the aviation field. The result was a victory for Curtiss and Paulhan. In half a gale Curtiss rose to height of 100 feet and performed as pretty a piece of aero- plane jockeying as the world has ever seen. He described circles in daring fashion, lifting. dipping and beating against the wind and winding up by cutting the letter s. l
 Paulhan strove to outdo this. going 512 feet and circling about like a hawk over a barnyard. But his. exhibition of fancy air skating lacked something of the brilliancy shown the Yankee.
 Another wonder picture was painted Curtiss, Paulhan and Charles Hamilton each driving his own machine. swung around in an aerial marathon. At times they raced headlong against the wind and again they played tag with each other. They flew under. over and around each other. guiding their trem- bling steeds with sure fingers. That there were no accidents today was one. of the marvels.
 The visitors did not want to fly in the wind. They know that the wind strains the delicate silk strangs and pulls at the fastenings with it's fingers In a sudden blast the planes might crumble and dash the driver to death But the crowd was there and some thing had to be done to amuse it.
 A new word has been coined on aviation field--eronutty- The popu- lation of Los Angeles gave an exhibi- tion of this peculiar form of insanity Through the rain they went in droves to the field, standing in mud along the fence line. or holding dripping seats in the grand stand. Thousands start ed out in wagonloads from nearby towns and farms and in automobiles from the city. The mud stopped many. The roads to the grounds were strewn with the unhappy grandstand pilgrims. By the time the events were sched- uied to begin the biggest crowd of the meet had gathered and were stamping, whistling and sending up toy balloons to pass away the time. Even the near by hills were black with spectators

Description of Lion Spear ing Feat By Native War riors-Kermit Comes Into Possession of a Complete Bongo Family Group

Nairobi. Dec. 11.-A long stream of porters came winding across the veldt toward the station of Nairobi, the Stars and Stripes waving aloft, held by giant native. Shortly Col onei Roosevelt arrived on the back of his favorite horse, Tranquility. It was his last trip in British East Africa
 This expedition was, the fourth he had made out of Nairobi. and it gave the Roosevelt party an opportunity to witness the exciting hunt and apear- ing of a lion by Nandi warriors. Seventy spearmen took part.
 A band of seventy almost naked men, with long sharp spears, pro- ceeded down a long valley. Soon a lion was seen four hundred yards in front Immediately the warriors gave chase and in less than two miles had rounded up the king of the wilderness. The warriors drew within twenty yards. Three times the lion savagely charged them, but was stopped short. roaring with rage. The attackers advanced within ten yards of their victim. With one last des- perate effort the beast drove directly at the line. only to fall with ten spears quivering in, his body. But in that brief mortc1; he managed to drag down one native. his claws sink ing into the mans flesh.
 The luck of Kermit has been prov erbial. While Colonel Roosevelt was hunting with Lord Delamere, Kermit went with R. B. Cole and the Wan derebo warriors. The Wanderebos are adopts at killing the bongo. which is rare. In a short time young Roosevelt obtained large fine fe- male bongo. and one young bongo. This was a feat which any old hunter might well be proud of. for no white man ever before stalked and shot a bongo.
 So pleased was one of the resi- dents with the success of the youth that he presented Kermit with a fine specimen of male bongo, so the Smithsonian Institution will have complete family group. the only one in the world.

INDIAN ASSASSINATION.

Bombay. Jan. 16.-Poison and the dagger are both being used whenever occasion offers by the Indian malcon- tents. The recent assassination of Collector Jackson at Nasik, Bombay presidency. by an 1S-year-old student, was purely a political crime.

Salt Lake. Utah. Jan. 1s.-Never in the history of transportation in the United States has a great railroad been stricken so sorely as the Salt Lake by a mid-winter thaw. In a twinkling desert torrents lapped up hundreds of miles of rails and em- bankments.

 As the extent of the damage is understood. the day when earnings will be restored and the men recalled, seems more and more remote The weather Is still such that an examina- tion is impossible.

 London. Jan. l6.-Although both sides reserve a sanguine air of con- fidence it was evident today that the conservatives had abandoned hope that that party would form the next government. The utmost it dare ex- pect is that the liberal majority will be so reduced in the next parlia- ment as to place the liberals at the mercy of the nationalists.
