THE WRIGHT BROS.
 NOT TRUE SPORTS
SAYS HENRY FARMAN, AERO
 PIANIST.
The injunction Proceeding Likely te
 Interfere With Flying Here.

Paris, Jan. 4.-French aeroplanists believe that tine action of the Wright company in seeking an injunction against Louis Paulhan. who was served on his arrival in New York, is likely to deter foreigners from entering the international cup race in the United States this year, as the Wrights claim that practically every foreign ma- chine, except the Voisin, infringes upon their patents.
 Henry Farman. whose machine Paul. han uses. said: Although we don't employ the warping wing principle or any infringement of Wright's patents, we anticipated some such action as the Wrights have taken. Before Paul han left. therefore, it was arranged that if an effort was made to get an injunction. the side planes used to modify the resistance of the air would be removed, leaving the machine free from the objections which the Wrights raised.
 Regardless of the justice of the Wrights' claim of infringement, how ever, l consider their action unsports- manlike. as the machines were not sent to America to sell

This is approximately s25.OOO. 900 more than the deposits of the National City bank of this city. the largest financial .n- stitution in the United States.
 Reports of additional trust company consolidation are given credence, in view of yesterdays announcement of the merger by J. P Morgan & Co. of the Guaranty Trust, the Morton Trust and the Fifth Avenue Trust compa- nies. with combined deposits of about S150.0O0.00O. This brought a revival of financial rumors embracing the Bankers Trust and Manhattan Trust companies in the same combination There were definite reports that the Mercantile Trust company and Equi- table Trust company eventually would be taken into some sort of powerful alliance.
 In point of fact, the Bankers Trust company is closely affiliated with the so-called Morgan interests in that two partners in the Morgan banking w Perkins and Henry P. Davidson-isit in the directorate of the former

THE WAR DEVELOPS.
The Preeipitating Causes of the Break

Washington. Jan. War without quarter will be yaged between the Taft administration and such republi- can insurgents" in congress as are opposing and who shall oppose the future Taft legislative program. The battle will not be with those tariff insurgents who quietly sheathed their 1 blades after defeat. but with those who are whetting their knives publicly In anticipation of a continued conflict The battle broke suddenly today At first it was a single shot. then scattered firing. spreading swiftly. un- til tonight it has taken the aspect of general engagement In substance 1t is that the senators and congress men who have taken a stand against the present administration and who continue to align themselves with the opposition to the presidents policies are to receive no consideration in the matters of patronage.
 Ctterances such as those made by Senator Cummins at recent dinner at Des Moines: those of Senator Bris- tow in previous speeches: the anti Taft articles in Senator LaFollette's magazine, and recent interview by Mir. Clapp on rice foodstuffs are said to have started the president into ac- tion.
 It had been reported further that some republican insurgents in the house have tried to obtain the ap- pointment of men out of harmony with the Taft regime. Mir Tafts closest friends advised him that it would be impolitic for him to give sinews of war to those who might even co-op- crate with the democrats against the Taft legislative program. and to the country at large by creating an anti Taft sentiment in advance of the 1912 convention. It was said without re- serve tonight that the president lis tened to the advice and decided to fol- low it.
 The position taken by certain leaders of the administration is not that or battle with the tariff insurgents It is pointed out tonight that Nelson, Brown. Burkett and Borah. all of whom voted against the tariff, appear to be persona non grata at the White House, the postoffice department, the land office and the internal revenue bureau. where pie" is served. No poll itician who would discuss the situa ton tonight dared hazard an opinion of the political outcome of the contest
 Some insisted that it would arouse bitter opposition to Taft. while others declared that the effect would be to make the republicans line up for or against the present and smoke out" the neutrals.

"|NSURGENTS''
 ON THE RACK They Hear That They Are out Of Administrative Favor POLITICAL LIVES SOUGHT
By the Republican Congress sional Committee, Which It Is Reported, Has More Fancy for Democrats Than Recalcitrant Republicans.

Washington, Jan. "A story was in circulation today among the republican 'insurgent" members of the house that the administration had definitely de- cided to withhold from them their quota of patronage. and that from this time forward the active work of disciplining the republicans regarded by the organization as recalcitrant would be prosecuted with vigor.
 It was reported that a Minnesota congressman who had acquired the displeasure of the regular organiza- tion through his "insurging" acts had been told at the postoffice depart ment, for, instance, that his recom- mendations in regard to the appoint ment of postmaste,-s would receive no attention. He was given definitely to understand, so it was stated. that the hand of the administration would be against him, and that could not expect any consideration of any sort.
 The rumors went still furthef and said that active efforts, will be made in home districts of the republican insurgents to prevent their renomina- .tion. and if this effort failed they Would De antagonlzed at the polls. It is asserted that several thousand dol- lars already have been spent in the district of q Wisconsin member to promote the candidacy of a rival re- publican aspirant to his seat.
 A Nebraska congressman, whose majority over his democratic oppo- nent at the last election was slender. declared that he knew that active af forts were being made against him in his district by the republican na- tional congressional committee. and he added that he had no doubt that the organization would oppose him at the polls if it failed to defeat his renomi- nation. He quoted republican lead CT of the house as saying publicly that he preferred democrats in con- gress in place of republican insur- gents"

FILLING THE AIR
 WITH CONFESSIONS
The Investigation of the Sugar Weigh !. ing Frauds Made Easier.

New York. Jan. 4.-An investigation of the underweighing sugar frauds was continued today by the federal grand jury, and it was intimated that further indictments. possibly of prom inent persons, may be expected soon. Confession stories have been in the air recently. and todays report had it that not only had important revela- tions been made by employees of the American Sugar Refining company, five of whom were recently convicted of conspiracy to defraud, but that the employees of other sugar importing firms have become convinced of the advisability of making a clean breast of it.
 The grand jury also is expected to take up shortly the investigation of the alleged paper combination which the federal authorities have been looking into following the action which led to the dissolution of the Manila fibre paper pool.

has been chiefly instrumental fin
 blowing the lid. off" He did it by d statement to the effect that Postmas- i ter General Hitchcock had informed | him that his recommendations for postermasterships were being held up | because of his insurgent activities. He | quoted the postmaster general as say | ing in substance that "a great deal of pressure is being brought to bear upon
 me from insurgents for the patronage of their districts. I'm loath to do this. but the matter is still under consId- eration.'
 Miller said he told Hitchcock that he intended to carry the thing to the floor of the house, but Hitchcock advised him to wait until the subject was fur ther considered, whereupon Miller
 agreed to wait for full developments
 before precipitating an open fight.
 As soon as the congressman's state
 ment became known the postmaster
 general called upon him and took him
 to task for not regarding the conver- sation as confidential, to which Miller
 said he felt that he had violated no confidence.
 Another feature of the attitude of the party leaders toward the insur- gent members of the, house was hinted at in a disclosure today. It was cur rently reported that 'rebellious" re- publican members of congress would soon feel the hand of the national par ty organization against them in their home districts. The plan, according to the statement of one insurgent. was for an organization fin Washington to stimulate opposition to the nomination of those congressman by diverse local activities Rival republican aspirants for their places were tO be encouraged and, if the opposition was unsuccessful at the primaries. the fight would be carried to the polls.
 It was pointed out that in Congress- man Cooper's district in Wisconsin, rival republican candidate was already in the field, although the primaries do not occur until September. Large sums of money are available for the purpose. it is claimed and much has been expended. In the district repre- scented by Mir. Norris of Nebraska, early republican opposition has devel- oped, as Norris acknowledges.
 On the other hand. inquiries among congressman generally classed as fn- surgents failed to disclose any appar- ent active antagonism on the part of any one connected with the adminis tration. Representatives Murdock and Madison of Kansas has not suffered a suspended animation" by their pat recommendations When Mad ison was informed that a fight had been started he said:
 Good, I am glad of it. Nothing suits me better than a good. square fight"
 Congressman Hayes of California. who presided over the only meeting of the house insurgents this year. de- clared that he is in the fight to stay"
 If no one will call meeting of the to mark out plan of bat tie. I'll do it. he said. And if there are others who are backward in this battle I'll go it alone. I'm an insurgept until it's all over"
 Speaker Cannon remarked that If he were to express his views on the subject they would sound "chestnutty."
