WASHINGTON, ID. c., jan. l3.-
Following President Taft's advice TO
the Republicans IN congress yester-
day to stop quarreling and get down
! to the party legislative problem as
quickly as possible. there were cen
crete evidences today Of definite at
tempt to bring the warning factions
together upon some basis OF at least
temporary understanding There
seemed for the first time this session
to be a spirit OF Cancellation in the
air and decidedly less CT the bitter
ness of the past few weeks.
President Taft let it be known that
he still considers all Of the insurgents
as Republicans.
Speaker Invites All.
Speaker Cannon announced that all
Republicans would be invited to the
caucus on naming the Ballinger-
Pinchot committee next week and he
hcped all would attend. Representa-
tive HAYES. OF California, one OF the
leading insurgents. made two trips to
the white house. as n result of which.
he announced that attempts to ad-
inst matters were under way.
In his talks with Representative
Hayes and other callers today, the
President said that he was not with
! holding patronage from any Repubii-
can senator or member OF congress
because Of votes cast against Speak
, Ct Cannon, against the rules OF the
house or against the Payne Aldricn
tariff bill
Taft is Satisfied.
~. however. there are any among
rae insurgents who intend TO carry
their eight against the speaker and
against the rules to the extent OF
opposing purely administration and
rarity measures. 10 which the party Is
pledged. the president viii no longer
consider them as Republicans. but a.
having clearly srrayed themselves
against the party. Under they cir
cumstaaces he declared he wosld not
be justified in recognizing any claims
Ter patronage from senators and re-
personalities who would use the very
patronage given them a. ammunition
against the party.
Mr. Taft Is said to be satisfied
with the way the matters are pro
crossing and he has received many
personal assurances that most ~ the
/ so-csIlcd insurgents viii support the
administration measures.

MARGARETTA never went much into
detail in her narrative Of the kidnap-
ping, and herfamily put her reticence down
totheeffect of drugs with which they believed
she had been overcome in the first instance.
They said they could see she had been gagged
by the tragic marks on her dear mouth, and
she had evidently been starved, and was
unclean; also, shoes and stockings she had

bling fingers in her matted hair and sobbed
and sobbed again. She heard that her
mother had been awakened the night before
by AN automobile dashing into the place, but
when Enrico went to the door he found the
letter about the ransom, and the motor was
gone She had also heard that am escaped
prisoner from Malutita prison had been
caught stealing milk in the dairy, so they
had been obliged to lock The door. They
had let him so unframed, being convinced
he was one OF the kidnappers.

A month later, and from the general post
Office in Rome, Enrico received such sums
as established his business beyond his Wild

social distinction through her curious and
fearful experience, while her diary has been
read ip many languages. She has lately
recognized herself as an hysteric, through
intercourse with French scientists, and al
though she speaks but little Of her terrible
experience at sixteen, she speculates with
nAagging zeal as to who sends Enrico his
money. The Ritis think Uncle Liphey does.
and SO does Mcrgaretta, but she feels sure
he sends it indirectly. '.s'

That day, her letter safely folded and
