with the understanding that it was
to be divided with his partner on the

Chief Egan tried to discredit the
womans story, saying he had seen
this young couple in st. Mary's Park

said they were at her house; but the
woman stuck to her story.
When asked who the officer. was

When asked to describe the officer
she gave a description which fitted
either one of two officers on the

Taft is said to have assured the
senators that they need not worry
about the house. 1t is said the house
members are coming around to the
president all right. for the good rea,
son that they have no other place
to go. One of the presidents callers
today said: He does not have to
go to the regulars or insurgents. They
have got to come to him. Every man
on Capitol Hill is looking for another
term and has got to have something
to 20 before the people on. Congress
must do something, and all the Re
publicans, regardless of the fight
against Cannon or the rules, are going
to vote for the Taft measures.
So, when Penrose, Crane and Carter
left the White House the latter as
spokesman for the trio declared:
The postal savings bank proposition
will become law at this session F"
The postal bank, however will not
be the first Taft measure considered.
The president ranks the interstate
commerce law change as first in i'm
portance, also told his callers that he
regarded at least one of his conser-
vations bills of prime Importance.
This is the bll to validate the with
drawal of lands containing water
power sites, coal and phosphates,
which were made under the former
and the present administrations under
the shadowy power of the secretary of
| the interiors discretion. The presi-
dent wants this power made unques-
| tionable.
Aldrich is anxious to secure the
support of the country for the new
currency laws and banking projects.
The president believes the best way
to secure this support is to first pro
| vide for the postal bank.
Throughout the remainder of the
lpresent congress, It Is agreed that
the caucus rule is to prevail in the
house and this is credited to Taft's :
efforts. The power OF Cannon and
rules committee has been so far i'm.
paired that caucus will come as the
best and fairest means Of providing
for legislation. The regulars and In,
surgents alike will be invited TO the
lcaucuses.
