PLANNING WAYS TO
PUT HOUSE ON RECORD
Opponents of BaI|inger Dis
cussing Means Of Getting
Action on Report.

The democratic members of the Balm
ger-Pinchot investigating committee and
Representative Madison of Kansas, the
lone republican insurgent on that body.
commented briefly on the majority report
filed today. The burden of their opinion,
as conservatively expressed, was that the
report was weak" and would be so
considered by the people of the country.
But these members of the minority were
more concerned about the possibility OF
both majority and minority reports slum-
bering in the House document room with
out much of. a chance of getting action.
The minority wants to see the House go
on record. A discussion rof ways and
means this afternoon by yNthose opposed to
Secretary BaIlingers administration of
the affairs of the Interior Department and
to his further retention in the public
service developed sentiment favorable to
demanding consideration of the report on
the floor at the first favorable opportu-
nifty.
A motion to this effect. under the rules
of the House would undoubtedly. be de-
clared out of order by Speaker Cannon.
The next step would be to appeal from
bination of insurgents and democrats
could sustain such an appeal, the fight
would then be on.
This seems to be the only. method the
minority members can think Of just now
for obtaining consideration of the two
reports. The committee on rules could
bring in resolution that would lay the
whole matter before the House. but it is
not expected that this will be done. The
democratic members of the ,Ballinger-
Pinchot committee held an Informal meet
ing this afternoon to talk things over.

PORT PROPELLER LOST
FROM GERMAN. LINER
Only a Slight Jar Felt Aboard
the Vessel When the Ac-
" !. 3: cident Happens. '7'5'' " :.

NEW YORK, December THE big
North German Lloyd liner Kaiser Will
helm der Crosse. which had the misfor-
tune of carrying away her port propeller
in midocean last Monday afternoon, came
into port early today. several hours ahead
of her expected arrival. The accident
happened in fine moderate weather Capt.
Polack says no wreckage was struck and
there was only slight jar. With the
dropping of the propeller the balance tank
filled with water. which brought the stern
down to the usual bearings. Investiga-
tons showed that the tail shaft was
broken off, the stern tube outboard was
ripped off and the propeller carried away.
There was a little excitement among the
passengers, which was speedily allayed by
Capt. Polack. who explained the acci-
dent
The steamer proceeded under the star
board engines, making seventeen and a
half knots thereafter. Although the
Kaiser had hofsted two black balls on the
forestay to indicate unmanageable, not
under CONTROL the vessel was handled
without difficulty in coming into port, and
even the assistance Of tugs sent by the
company was refused by the captain.
Among the passengers were Prof. En-
gelbert Humperdink, the composer: Col.
J. j. 'AstorS and son, Representative H. S.
Boutell. Count Jean de Kergolay and E.
d. Winslow, United States consul at

suit Instituted by representatives of the

~ the credit Of the deposed Sultan Abdul

cour, today
After the hearing of testimony the i'm
perial supreme court refused to entertain
the plea that Abdul Hamid signed the
order Of withdrawal under duress and
decided that the Reichsbank must pay
the money as demanded.
When Abdul Hamid intrusted his per-
sonal fortune to the Reichsbank he ex-
acted a solemn agreement that the funds
should not be withdrawn except on pres
entation of an order under his hand ana

the new government attempted to recov-

The order, however. did not bear the
secret seal agreed upon, and the bank
which took the further ground that its
customer, being practically prisoner,
refused to surrender the money
Suit then was brought against the bank
In the name Of the former sultan in the

was brought under compulsiOn and
