The Present Situation in the Camp at
Washington, Where Republican
Leaders Have Declared
War on Malcontents.

Question, Speaker Cannon
Quotes from the Kansas
City Speech.
APPOINTMENTS HELD UP

The following special dispatch from
Washington, sent out last evening,
tells of the present situation in the
insurgent camp:
What might be termed drastic meas
ures have been taken by the leaders
OF the Republican party to whip back
into line the so-called insurgents of
the party. The leaders intend to ac-
compliSh either of two things, bring
the Insurgents back into line or force
them out of the party.
1t was stated on unuuestioned au-
thority today that the Republican or
ganization has taken the matter up
with the president and that the latter
has agreed to give the matter con-
sideration. The leaders of the organ
ization hope to compel the malcontents
to support Speaker Cannon and the
organization of the party, at least
throughout the present session of con-
gress.
The fight is not with those tariff in
surgents who quietly sheathed their
blades after defeat; but with those
who are now opposing and who may
oppose in the future the Taft legisla-
tive program.

Cannon Quotes Speech.

Speaker Cannon tonight remarked
that if he were to express his own
views on the situation they would
sound Achestnutty.' He denied know
ledge Of any specific determination to
crush the insurgents: but he turned
to a copy Of a speech which he deliv-
cred in Kansas City on December
last and quoted from it the following
paragraph as expressive Of his opinion
OF the course that ought to be pursued
against the insurgents. The paragraph
read:
When Lincoln found an army
marching on the national capital from
the south and a body of sympathizers
in the north encouraging that army,
he said, 1t was difficult to determine
which was the most threatening to
the welfare OF the nation. History re-
peats itself and when Senators Cum
MINIS, La Toilette, Bristow and their
socalled progressive following join

Friends Urge Taft to Act.


The battle broke suddenly today AT
first it was single shot, then scat
tered firing; swiftly the thing spread
until tonight it has taken on the as
pect of a general engagement, the
consequences of which cannot be fore
told.
Utterances such as that made by
Senator Cummins at a recent dinner
in Des Moines, by Senator Bristow in
previous speeches, anti-Taft articles
in Senator La Follette's magazine and
a recent interview by Senator Clapp
on the price of foodstuffs are said TO
have stirred the president to action.
It had been reported further that some
of the republican insurgents In the
house have tried to secure appoint
ment under the administration Of men
more or less openly out of harmony
with the Taft regime. Mr.. Taft's clos
est friends advised him that 1t would
be impolitic for him to afford sinews
of war to those who. they warned him,
might even cooperate with the demo-
Gratis III congress against the Taft leg
islative program and in the country at
large by creating anti-Taft sentiment
in advance of the 1912 convention.

enc which May Satisfy Wants Of
Eight Cities Has Been Received
Charts Soon to be
Sent Out.
OPENING A DAY LATER
Season stars on Thursday, May $, and
Series will be Of Three and
Four Games Dura-
ton.

President NJ. E. Justice, of the Cen
trail Association, has a schedule IN his
Office which may come very near salts
flying the wants of the eight cities OF
u e league. 1t is the latest one to be
received and is from schedule maker
who well understands the conditions
relative to this circuit. The league ex-
ecutive is of the opinion that he will
have the charts in shape to send to
various cities on next Tuesday and by
the end of next week replies should
be in from the magnates. In many
ways the schedule will show superior
ity to the chart accepted last year.
The season is slated to open on Thurs
day, May 5. The series will be of
three and four game lengths and the
mileage, as previously stated. viii be
materially lower than ever in the his
tory of this or the old Iowa league.
During a greater part Of the season
two series at home and two away
from home will constitute the arrange.
ment as to stretches. It would APP
pear that President Justice is greatly
responsible for the lack of wrangle
and entanglements over the schedule
this year. Thus far he has refused to
allow press representatives to take a
peep at the mysterious charts and as
yet the public cannot be informed as
to the exact contents. Several times
he has had to send the drafts back for
corrections. Until the schedules are
mailed for a vote 1t is not likely their
contents will be divulged and thus
sparring matches and arguments be
tween the various papers allayed.
It looks as if Quincy has picked up
a valuable man in Thomas, the
catcher, about whom the Herald
says: Thomas has a league record
covering four years. He is a catcher.

every position on the team excepting
in the box. In 1906 he played second,
first, third and catcher, batting .324

the position he played most that year.
In 1907 he played first base and led
the league in fielding, batting .2Ss
During these two years he was with
Mt Clements, Mich. In 1908 the club
was transferred to Saginaw, where he
has since been. In 1908 he played
every infield position, principally FIRST
base, fielding 1873 and batting .285. II
1909 he worked mostly as catcher
fielding .9T9 and playing every posi-
ton except that of pitcher as utility
man. Last summer he was out of the
game for FIVE weeks because of brok
en- thumb and the team droppd tt
fourth place. On his return to the game
the team won II of the next 10 games
and went back to first place. Last sea
son he batted fourth and drove II

During the past few days a deal has
been completed wherein George
Thomas, catcher of repute in the

became the property of the Quincy
baseball team for next year. The
deal was one in which the new player
was purchased outright without the
trading of any of the local players
being made. Several other clubs
were after Thomas and considerable
competitive bidding was done for
him. and it is for that reason that
President Hofer does not wish to give
out the amount of the purchase price
