SENDS FOR AN INsuRGENT
President Taft Apparently Comes tc
Conclusion They are His Real
Friends.

Washington, May president
Taft, apparently, has come to the
conclusion that the reactionary lead
ers he has been depending on to get
the administration bills through con-
gress are not working as hard for
him as they might, and he is now
seeking the aid of the insurgents. He
is finding ont, APPARENTLY, as everybody
else found out months ago, that his
real friends are in the insurgent
camp and that If he desires his bills
to pass he must have the insurgents
behind him.
These things were indicated yes
terday when the president sent for
Representative Madison Of Kansas
and had a long conference with him
on the Injunction Bill. It was the
first time the President had sent for
an insurgent and it pleases them that
Mr.. Taft is at last beginning TO find
cut who his rea. friends are. Here
tofore, because Of the presidents ac-
lions, the insurgents have maintain
ed q respectful distance. knowing that
ultimately the president would
awaken to the situation.
Perhaps he has noticed that the
only real progress that has been made
with administration measures has
been through insurgent efforts. For
instance, the Postal Savings Bank Bill
has been tied up Indefinitely in the
House committee. The injunction
Bill was in the same Ak. The only
progress on the Railroad Bill has
been through insurgent effort. and
the only amendments to it that work
for square deal for the public have
been forced by the insurgents. Final
ly, the fate of all of these bills rests
in i%nsurgent hands. q
The injunction bill is vigorously
opposed by the National Manufacture
ers' Association, and the president
never has been able to get 1t before
the House. In fact, since he was de-
posed from the rules committee,
Speaker Cannon seems to have lost
all interest in administration bills.
Madison has one injunction bill and
Representative Moon another. Mr.. Taft
told Madison yesterday that he did
not care which one passed so 1t full
filled the platform pledges. So now,
with the insurgents behind 1t, the In
junction Bill probably will be the
next administration measure to come
before the House.

ANOTHER BARN BURNED
Somebody has q Mania for Burning
Barns-Two Burned in Success
sion-Slight Loss.

Some incendiary seems to have
quite a mania for burning barns in
this city, and the second fire in two
nights occurred Wednesday night
about midnight. The fire burned a
b on the property Of James F.
Smith. on the corner of Second Ave-
nue. east ana himball street. A horse
buggy and harness, together with
some household goods were consum-
ed in the flames. Ihe fire department
made a quick response but the build
i-s was over half burned when the
boys arrived OF the scene.
In conversation with Mr.. Smith,
he said that when he got out to the
Id n the flames were burning from
the inside. and that it had evidently
been set fire at both ends of the place
and On the inside. The barn was
locked and he thought that the door
was broken open and the fire started
within so that it could get a big
headw: y before being discovered.
Other Fires Started.
1t is reported that three other
barns were set on fire during the
night. One belonging to D. Thomas
or Hanson street, n at j. p.
Reiehsen's residence and the third on
the south side. None of them gain
ed much Roadway and were put out,
according to the reports.
1t is evident that some person is
going to make a cleaning up on the
barn proposition in Mitchell, md
who is at the bottom of the business
is a question for the future to de-
velop.
Robberies are Planned.
In connection with the fires on
both nights, ii. is stated that robber-
les are planned by the firebugs. On
Tuesday night several houses were
tried by the firebugs, but entrance
was not g;-ined. Wednesday night re
same thing was repeated on
Fourth Avenue east. An effort was
made to break into two houses, but
in both cases the robbers were
thwarted. The fellows go on the sup
position that the men will hurry off
to the fire and that it would be an
easy matter to brighten the unpro-
tected women into submission so that
a house could be robbed.
Efforts are being made to locate
the guilty parties and in all prob
ability there will be something doing
in the way of arrests.
