walton measure should go over until
another season. 1t is also certain that
there is hard road ahead of the state

be had on the bill, as the price of Civ
ing an open road TO the railroad bill.
Appropriation bills are being passed
by the Senat, about as rapidly as they
are received from the House The
navy appropriate bill is before the
House now and there is in prospect n
sharp contest over the question whoth-

If the row between the regular and
"Insurgent" Republicans is at an end
as leaders OF both factions profess to
believe. it would appear that adjourn

expected about lure Is. There are in
dications, however. that the fires of the
recent contest which brought about the
removal Of Speaker Cannon from the
committee on rules are still shoulder
ing and may break out at any moment.
Considerable talk is heard about
oustjng Cannon from the Speakership
as well as the rules committee and on
Saturday the idea was advanced that
Asher G. Hnds. the parliamentarian Of
the House. would be put forward for
that place.
The Democrats of the house are We

International Paper Co. Mills at Rum.
ford Falls Closed Vote Not
To Strike Despite Urging at
The Franklin, N. H., Mills.

Franklin, Y. H., March 27.-Presi-
dent ]. T. Carey of the International
Brotherhood of Papermakers arrived
here from Washington today and this
afternoon addressed a meeting at
which were gathered a large majority
of the machine tenders of the Interna-
tional Paper Co. mills here. These men
refused to strike when the pulp mill
workers went out last week. 1t was
with the intention of recognizing the
union of PAPER workers in this place
that President Carey came here and
with this view in mind he addressed
the meeting today.
All WAS quiet about the mills today.
Several additional Strikebreakers ar
rived in town, but Superintendent Mil
roy Of the local plant stated that he
has more than enough men to take the
places of the strikers. Some of the
strikebreakers found considerable diff
ficultv in obtaining rooms here, ono
hotel refusing them admittance.
Despite a fervent plea by J. II. Carey,
president of the United Brotherhood of
Papermakers of America, the paper
makers employed at the local plant of
the International Paper Co, tonight
voted not to join in the strike of the
Pulp, Sulphite and Paper Mill Work
ers. President Carey came here from
Fort Edward, n. Y. to urge the Frank
lin papermakerS to go out. He said
tonight that he would probably return
to the unions headquarters in Water
town, ~ Y, tomorrow morning.
Superintendent John r. Mulroy of
the local paper plant announced late
today that if the plant We're forced to
shut down because of the strike it
would not be re-Opened. The local
plant is one of the smaller ones operat-
ed by the International Paper Co

Washington, March 27.-The ambition
of Representative Townsend of Michi-
gan to assume charge of the admins
tration railroad bill on the floor of the
House will not be gratified for the nom
or will go to Chairman Mann, of the
committee on Interstate and foreign
commerce. This fact developed today
and supporters of the bill in the form
in which it was originally introduced
by Townsend and as it now is pending
in the Senate are greatly disappointed
Ii had been thought the intense oppo-
SitiOn of Mr. Mann to certain features
of the bill as drafted by Attorney Gen
eral WicFcrsham would make him dis
inclined to champion it. His success
in incorporating many of his own ideas
into the measure, however, plade Mr..
Mann willing to assume the SPONSOR
ship. AS amended by the committee
all Republican members voted for it
and there was no way in which the
chairman could be denied The man
agement of the measure on the floor.
The administration is looking to the
Senate 10 save the principal features
OF the original bill. Supporting the
President in this matter are Senators
Elllins. Aldrich, Kean, Crane. Cullom
and Nixon. of the committees on inter
state commerce as Well as mary other
Republican leaders.
That the coalition of InSurgent Re
publcans and Democrats is formidable
is admitted by friends Of the bill and
they are GeVoting themselves to the
formulation of amendments, which
they hope viii harmonic some Of the
differences. 1t is expected that the
amendments will be parccllcd out
among senators so that a number may
share the credit of making the new
law. This plan even includes the ac-
ceTtance of one or two of the amend
ments favored by the Insurgents. Not
the slightest consideration is being Civ
en- by the Senate to the attitude of the
House on the bill. The chances are
that when a conference is held. the two
measures as passed will resemble each
other very little. That being the case
the act will have t. be made in confer
ence.

badly injured. The bodies of the two
women were swept farther down the
stream and were seen to go over
second dam. Although searching par
ties patrolled both sides of the river
throughout the remainder of the day
no further trace of the bodies were
discovered.
Mr.. Parker, who is local agent for
the Standard Oil Co., invited the wom-
en- out for a trip on the pond early i'm
the day. The boat had scarcely left
its moorings when the trouble was ex-
perienced with the engine. While Mr..
Parker was endeavoring 20 make re-
pairs. the boat drifted toward the GEN.
ter OF the ponu, Wnere tne spring
freshet had created an unusually swift
current.
Before the occupants of the boat
realized the danger of their position
they were being drawn swiftly toward
the dam. There We're no oars in the
boat and Mr.. Parker was powerless to
prevent the catastrophe.
The boat overturned as it struck the
flushboards of the dam and went tum-
bling down some Is feet into the waters
below. The women, 1t is believed. were
caught beneath the boat, but Parker
was thrown more to one side and was
able to struggle ashore. On account
of the high water it is feared the
bodies may not be recovered for some
time.
The motor boat, which was owned
by Mr.. Parker, will be total loss.

Livermore Falls, Ne, March 26.-The
news that Sheriff Dana O. Coolidge of

of the state militia at Pennington
today proved so effective in cast

Accordingly Sheriff Coolidge caCn-

itself in readiness at its armoTy all
night.
