Senate Plans Coup.
The senate committee not only re-
ported q substitute for the Jones and
Humphrey resolution, but anticipated
reference to 1t of the resolution adopt
ed in the house yesterday by agreeing
that its action shall stand as a substi-
tute for the house measure. This
course will necessitate action by the
house on the senate resolution and
give the house regulars an opportun-
ity to turn yesterdays defeat into vic
tory. 1t is. reported the senate oggani-
cation is sending out a call for alb,
sentees so as to be ready to put the
substitute resolution through when is
is reported Monday. Another report
is that the house organization is like
wise getting it's membership in readi
ness and desperate attempt will be
made to have the senate's resolution
adopted in lieu of the measure agreed
upon by the house.

NOT INsuReENT VICTORY
FIGHT ALSO TAKEN
UP TO THE SENA TIE
THERE WILL oP-
POS RESOLUTION GIVING VICE
PRESIDENT POWER TO NAME
THE COMMITTEE.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 8.--The
regular Republican organization of
the house have decided to make a
finish fight when the time arrives
for the house to choose members
of the investigating body. They
expect then to muster sufficient
force to name practically the
same committee which would
have been named had the speaker
been left to make the selections.
Nothing will be definitely done in
the matter until the senate dis
poses of the resolution, and Sthe
president signs It, which will be a
week or more hence.
Washington, D, c., Jan. S-Support-
ers of Speaker Cannon today deny the
insurgent victory Of yesterday was q
triumph over Cannon, They say the
resolution was one desired by the
president, that the speaker was not
concerned in it's preparation and per-
sonally was glad to be relieved of the
responsibility of naming the inyestiga-
ton committee, On the other hand,
Senator Norris of Nebraska insurgent,
author of yesterdays amendment tax
ing away from the speaker the right
to name the committee, had no doubt
the vote showed lack of confidence
in Cannon.
House Curbs Cannon Power.
In the house of representatives yes
terday evening Speaker Cannon lost
his first fight to the insurgents who
combining with the Democrats, caused
to be adopted an amendment to the
Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry resolution, SC
as to take from the speaker the power
to appoint the house members of the
joint special committee of investiga
ton. The margin of victory was a
narrow one of three votes, but the lin
surgents" and Democrats alike are jub
liant. The dismissal of Pinchot has
lent fuel to the flame of their celebra
ton, and they are venturing all man
ner of predictions as to what Is to hap
pen in the future.
Three Republicans not classed as
insurgents, but who profess theil
! friendship for Pinchot, voted with the
insurgents" and Democrats for the
amendment, which calls for the selec
ton of the house investigators by cleo
ton from the floor.
Democrats Vote Against Cannon.
The Democrats, with the single ex
ception of Fitzgerald, voted agains
the speaker and with the twentysi,
insurgent Republicans, including two
recruits, Fish of New York and Ames
of Boston. The other insurgents, who
denied the speaker and the White
house were Cooper, Kopp, Lenroot

Parama.-By n contract signed the

business of railroad building In Latin
America. American engineers are to

Panamanian link in the Pan-American
railroad. 300 miles from the city of
Panama to David. the commercial CEN

lie. and by the time the national as
sembly meets next fall the govern
ment will have ready to submit
proposition for the construction of the
line as an extension of the present
Panama railroad. which is the proper
y Of the United States.
The argument with which Panama
has prevailed upon the United States
to go outside the limits of the canal
zone and build railroads for the 18TH
MAN republic is in brief this:
Either the American government

Another way would be to reduce
the friction on the track by fitting
wings. or lifting planes. all around the
train. the object being to utilize the
resistance of the atmosphere to lift
the weight from the track and there
by reduce the track resistance.
THE third method would be not to
run the train through the air at all.
This could be done by running 1t in
tube from which the air had been
exhausted in advance of the speeding
train by powerful pumps.
"of course. in addition to the
driving of the electric motors in the
ordinary way. power for propulsion
would be obtained owing to the pres.

The horsepower required for high
speed means weight. and the monorail
cannot stand the weight. Therefore.

attain any speed up to 200 miles an
hour seems not to have a very solid
foundation. The expense Of running
