MANN SAYS ELLIS
 ACTED IMPROPERLY

Washington, February 19.-Althougn Represntative Longsworth of Ohio read fin the House letter today from Attorney General Wickersham stating that the let ter recommending the appointment of an additional judge in Ohio had been pre- pared by his order and had been signed by wade H. Ellis, only in a perfunetory manner as assistant attorney general, Representative Mann of Illinois did not withdraw his criticism of MT. Ellis, made on Wednesday.
 Mir. Mann had suggested that MT Ellis acted improperly in recommending the ap- rointment of a judge in Ohio when at that time he had been chosen as re- eublican state chairman in Ohio.
 The letter in question was written in re- sponse to a request for an opinion on the subject from the House judiciary commit tee said MT. Wlekersham. An appeal from MT. Longsworth for MT. Mann to withdraw his statement brought no re sponse from MT. Mann. MT. Longsworth declared that the Illinois senator was one of the most useful men in the House, hut suggested that he was endeavoring to play not only the part of Hamlet but also that of Ophelia, king, queen, first grave digger and sometimes carries the spear.

PLANS TO CELEBRATE
 OPENING OF CANAL

New Orleans. February 19.-The United States government should soon consider organizing or officially cooperating with some properly conducted movement for an appropriate celebration of the fin- ishing of the Panama canal, declared John Barrett director of the International Bureau of American Republics, in an ad- dress here tonight before mass meet ing of citizens to discuss plans for hold ing an exposition In New Orleans in 1915 to commemorate the canals completion. While not committing himself to an i:l- ternational exposition as proposed for this city, he suggested that if one were held 1t should have the participation of all of the Central and South American re- publcs made accessible to the trade of the United States by the canal.
 MT. Barrett asserted that unless some plan is soon devised for developing the American merchant marine, nine-tenths o1 the shipping passing through the cana will carry foreign flags, but he opposed discrimination against foreign vessels 1T canal tolls. This. he said, would worl an unfair hardship on the republics ol South America, which were not purposely building up their own merchant marine for trade with the United States througt the canal. .s

LONDON IS QUIET
 AFTER THE STORM

London, February 19.-There was a lull in political affairs. today. No meeting of the cabinet was held and negotiations between the government and natiolE.Usts and laborites being suspended. the situa- tion presages no new features James Keir Hardie, president of the indepeud- ont labor party, in an interview said his declaration that the laborites would support the government was made under the impression that Premier Asouith mad already secured from the King guarantees for. dealing with the house of lords with out which the premier declared before tAe elections he would not take office again.
 Now, however. Hardie declares that since he has learned no guarantees were obtained he shares the opinions of George M. Barnes, member for Glasgow. and chairman of the laborites party, who is- sued a manifesto yesterday in which he said that if Premier Asquith is to hold office without assurances from the King with regard to the veto. e1ch course would not be acceptablefto the labor party. rM
 Herbert Samuel, newly appointeq post. master general, prophesed tonight that the governments action against the lords would be swift, courageous and decisive.

RAILROAD MERGER
 CASE IS PROBED

New York, February 1s.-The efforts
 made to improve the Union and Southern
 Pacific systems since the merger of the
 two railroads were related by Vice Pres
 ident Julius Kruttschmitt of the Union
 Pacific and Southern Pacific systems when
 he resumed the witness stand today, at the hearing in the governments suit to dissolve the merger. After describing the facilities adopted to meet the demands of increased freight traffic the witness said he thought that the freight service was quite as good as that provided by any of the other transcontinental lines. The witness described the improvements in the passenger accommodations, declar- | ing that they seemed to have reached the point where they were giving general | satisfaction.
 l MT. Kruttschmitt declared that the
 whole condition of the system was much better than before the merger and the credit of the company greatly improved. | He noticed that the Union Pacific earn ings per mile had since 1901, increased from s7000 to s12,651, and on the Southern | Pacific from $7453 to s11,515.

FRANK IS KICKING
 ON THE SCHEDULE

New Orleans, February 19.-(Special.)- Charles Frank, manager of the New Or leans Baseball club, left today for At lanta, to attend the meeting of the South ern league moguls. Frank is carrying along with him two or three schedule drafts over which he has been burning midnight oil. He is going to Atlanta to make a big kick on the proposed schedule submitted by President Kava- naugh. His principal objection is against the double-headers and he is also in favor of changing the districting of the league, which was fixed after Chatta- nooga took Little Rocks place in the circuit
 As the thing now stands. New Orleans is in the southern division with Bir- mingham, Montgomery and Mobile. Man ager Frank thinks that a better schedule can be arranged if Birmingham is placed in the northern district and Memphis in the southern. He has figured it out that such a change would do away with several doubleheaders. While a change of this character would be of no material benefit to the New Orleans club, Frank thinks it would help the whole league.
 The present districting is worse on the eastern clubs than on those in the west or south,'' said Frank. Tt gives Allan ta, Chattanooga and Memphis some very long jumps, and does not equalize the mileage. Because of those jumps it in cludes two or three doubleheaders too many and draws the schedule out too long. I see way to play the season In three days less time than is proposed by the schedule. which will come up for adoption at Atlanta"
 Manager Frank says he didn't know how many Sundays the local club would get. q suppose we will play about l. or IS Sundays here," he said 'I am not in favor of as many as we had last year and 1t has been my intention to ask for a smaller number"
 This may appear little strange in view of the fact that Sunday crowds are always large in New Orleans, but Frank figures that if he plays so many Sundays here it will cause him to make toe many long jumps. He doesn't like the idea of playing in Atlanta on Satur- day, jumping to New Orleans for Sun day game and then back to some re- mote point for Monday game.

CONGER BRIBERY
 CASE ADJOURNED

Albany, N. Y., February 19.-The senate's investigation of the Conger briebry charges was adjourned yesterday with question unsettled which may vjtally affect the production of fur ther evidence when sessions are re- sumed next Tuesday. This question was whether or not Senator Ben Con- ger can be forced to tell what he knows about the final disposition of the $400O which he says was given to Assembly, man Jean L. Burnett in 1901 as part of the alleged price of immunity for tine bridge company's strike legislation fund.
 Early in the day MT. Conger had said he had had no knowledge of what Bur nett did with the $4000. That he did not keep 1t all for himself, provided Conger's charge Is true. it is stated seems to be taken for granted. Several senators seemed to believe
 that Conger must know what became
 of this sum and they insisted he shoulc
 be made to tell. Chairman Davis with.
 held his. ruling on this point unti Tuesday.
