lusion to the insurgents.

of Nebraska, author of the Insurgent
resolution which resulted in the elimi-
nation of Speaker Cannon from the
House committee on rules. took occa
sion in a speech on the sundry civil
bill in the House today, to appeal from
the Speakers decision at a New York
banquet recently that The Insurgents
should be hanged
Norris incidentally made a bid for a
place among the humorists of the House.

had recently witnessed a remarkable
spectacle of a Speakers two lieuten
ants-Floor Leader Payne. N. Y, and
Dalzell. Pa. chairman of the rules COM
mittee-together with that other staunch
regular. Mr. Fordney, Mich. all uniting

Eleven Rounds
At Jeffries' Camp,

Ben Lomond, May 24.-Eleven rounds
OF lively boxing We're served up TO Wis
itors at J. j. Jeftries' training camp
today, the best show they have en-
jOyed in week Jeffries was in good
hulnor and felt like working. He want
ed to go around or two more, but Sam
Berger was not in condition to &C
comnlodatc him after two rounds of
fast milling.
Bob Armstrong was used for three
rounds This bout was not exciting,
as the Negro is extremely clever in de-
fensive work and Jeffries always finds
it difficult to reach him. The work
with Armstrong is regarded as splen-
did practice with Jeffries, because of
the similarity between the tactics of his
sparring partner and Johnson.
The bouts with Brother Jack. Berger
and Joe Choynski were of the rip and
tear order. The Choynski affair was
particularly interesting for the spec
tators. Jeffies handled the veteran in
anything but a gentle manner and
Choynski came through with broken
tooth. Jumping the rope and hand ball
came after the bout and in the after
noon Jeffries put in another hour in the
gymnasium. He was happy and
whistled and sang all through his work.

pointed by President Taft as United
States attorney and United States mar
shall. respectively. to succeed John J.
Boyce and Daniel A. Sutherland, who
were removed at the request, it is un-
derstood. of Governor Walter E. Clark.
Senator Nelson is chairman of the
subcommittee and associated with
nm are Senators Borah and Overman
The proceedings today were highly
sensational, representatives of the op-
posing factions were present and lis
tened to the charges each side made
against the other. The principal speak
er today was Delegate James Wicker
sham, who made charges against Gov
ernor Clark, Ex-Governor Hoggatt and
Louis Shackleford, the member of the
Republican National committee from
Alaska. The Alaskan delegate sought
to connect these men with the Guggen-
helm interests.
The controversy is said to be chiefly
between factions opposing the activities
OF the Guggenheims in Alaska and that
which favors the rapid development of
the territory The men who were re-
moved from office charge that Governor
Clark has become affiliated with the
Guggcnheim faction and that he Joined

conviction of Ed Hasey on the charge
of having shot and killed two men in

two men while trying to guard Kew

discovered that ''men higher up" in
the Guggenheim service were respon-
sible for the affair at Keystone pass.
The two federal officials say they were
removed from Office on the eve of
bringing proceedings against others
believed by them to have been impli

ments in favor of the Cummins pros
vision by its author and by Borah and

of President Taft to show that the
