Further Attempt to Interest Pres

Rules Fails.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Representative
Dwight OF New York, republican whip OF
the house; Representative Dalzell of Penn
s~ylvania and Representative Boutell OF
Illinois called at the White House to see
what assistance the president would lend
in stemming the tide OF insurgency, which
is said now to threaten the committee on
rules. The last cause for alarm on the
part Of the regulars was the Fowler
resolution, deposing the speaker as a mem
Der Of the committee on rules and trebling
its membership.
The regulars want the presidents help,
but Mr.. Taft iS\reluctant to become in
volved in the factlonal strife. He made 1t
clear that his main purpose was to secure
the enlistment OF certain legislation to
which tic republican party was pledged
and, of course, was willing TO do what he
could TO harmonic the elements In the
party when the point OF action was reached
on any OF these measures.
Later In the day the president had a long
talk with Representative Hayes OF Cali
fornia, commonly rated as an "insurgent."
and also with senator Penrose OF Penn
sylvania. The purpose Of the talk with the
senator, who is chairman Of the committee
on postoffices and post roads, was 10 get
an estimate OF the chances OF success OF
certain administration measures.
Apparently the prospects were reported to
be favorable for the postal saving bank
bill, the Alaskan bill. the bill validating the
withdrawal Of public lands for conservation
purposes and the bill 10 enlarge the func-

Drainage Case Put Over.

After hearing only part of the evidence
Of the plaintiffs in the suit Of ]. NJ. Pullen
and others against the Board of County
supervisors and Contractor William Lana.
In which injunction is asked against the
construction OF the Nishnabotna drainage
ditch, Judge w. r. Green yesterday ad-
Journed the hearing to a date which will
be fixed later.
Judge Green goes to his home in Audi
bon and will next Tuesday open court in
Glenwood. After he has ascertained the
condition Of court work there and when
he can spare the time arrangements will
be made to resume the ditch injunction
case.
Nine witnesses have been examined by
the plaintiff during the two days trial.
About as many more are to be heard be-
fore the plaintiffs case is finished. 1t is
expected the defense will have at least as
many witnesses as the plaintiffs. and about
a week will be required, 1t is estimated, to
conclude the hearing.
