INSURGENTS DESERT
REPUBLICAN, CAUCUS
THE "REGULARsu OFFERED NO
COMPROMISE.
They Only Hall Recognized the Mi
nority Selections.

Washington. Jan. ia caucus of
the republican members of the house
tonight named the house members of
| the Ballinger- Pinchot investigation
committee, and rejected Mr. Rainey of
Illinois, one of the two democrats
selected by the democratic caucus
last Saturday night as the minority
| representative on the committee
The six men selected, including the
three regular republicans. were:
Mccall of Massachusetts. Olmstead of
Pennsylvania, DENLY of Michigan; one
'insurgent." Madison of Kansas; two
democrats. James of Kentucky and
Lloyd of Missouri.
The caucus lasted three hours. and
while il was characterized by much
kacrimony, it was more peaceful than
most of the members expected Even
at that there was a bolt of six in
surgents. led by Cooper of Wiscon-
sin. the other boilers being Lenroot
Nelson and Carey of Wisconsin and
Davis and Lindberg of Minnesota.
In several speeches strong objec-
tions to both James and Rainey were
voiced, the objectors claiming to ex-
press the views of President Taft
Against Rainey was cited his activity
in stirring up trouble for the repub-
lican administration in Panama canal
matters. The question will probably
come up in the house tomorrow, and
the democrats. ii is said. to a man,
win vote to repudiate the republican
action. incidentally, it is said the
question as to Lloyd consenting to
serve will be discussed.
The strongest partisanship speech
was that of J. Sloat Fawcett of New
York, who adjured the republicans to
name the whole committee without
regard to the democratic selections
Speaker Cannon opposed any COM
promise.
The two democratic selections were
ratified by vote of los to 4. Just
before the final ballot, Mr.. Ames of
Massachusetts moved to substitute
the name of Champ Clark, the mi
nority leader. and Mr. Underwood,
the democratic whip. for those of
James and Lloyd. hut this was de-
feated practically unanimously
The walkout. of Representative
Cooper and his little band included
all the insurgent members of the
house present at the caucus. When
the matter comes to the floor of the
house tomorrow, there will, in all
probability. be ample votes to carry
the ticket through over any COM
bined democratic and insurgent op-
position.

rights" was the burden of most
of the addresses delivered at
the conference of governors to-
day with particular reference to

service corporations.

bassador Bryce, who believed

and more to be looked upon as
personal representative of his
state.

nesota, introduced resolutions
defining jurisdiction of state
and federal courts in matters
involving interstate commerce.

lowed by a dinner at the White

among the states most prec-
ious possessions. He advocated
the development and state con-
troll of water power.

ing. addressing the conference
on the subject of water power.
said the control of industrial
energy should fest in the state
Governor Shafroth read sta
tistics to show the magnitude
of the value of the water pow
er of the country, and the great
possibilities of it's development
He contended that the owner
ship of land by the federal
government in the state was
proprietary right, not political
or governmental.
Governor Hadley of Missouri,
spoke on railroad rate legisla-
ton. He referred to the dis
parity in rates for passengers
-.
trastate traffic. declaring that
charges for transportation of
persons and property should not
be left to the owners of lines,
but that control should be ex-
ercised by the government.

ANOTHER WILD FURRY
IN STOCK EXCHANGE.

New York, Jan. 19.-There was
an episode in the New York
stock exchange today that was
more spectacular in many re-
spects than the recent Rock Is
land fiasco. =.
With a break of more than
sixty points, the so-called Co.
lumbus & Hooking Valley coal
and iron pool was smashed, two
stock exchange houses were
forced to suspend and the mar
ket generally underwent severe
declines, involving the heaviest
trading since the day of Edward
H. Harriman's death. Total
sales aggregated 1,634.500 shares.
A rigid inquiry by the govern
ors of the exchange will prob
ably be the aftermath.
The firms involved were ].
NJ. Fisk & Co. and Lathrop,
Haskins & Co. The failure of
both was caused by the collapse
of the pool and Involuntary pc
titions in bankruptcy were filed
against both this afternoon
In the case of j. NJ. F'iske &
Co. the liabilities are placed at
$550,000, with assets at 100000.
Counsel for the firm, however,
estimated the Nliabilities at
$2,5O0,000 at the close of busi-
ness on Tuesday afternoon, with
assets of s2.s00.0O0.
In all. $4,000 shares of CO.
lumbus & Hooking changed
hands at a range of from ssiz
to %. The stock closed at 80, a
net loss of 54h points. Ac-
cording to common belief, James
r. Keene was active in the
market movement of Columbus
& Hooking. Some of his asso-
ciates said. however, that the
Keene interest in the stock had
been withdrawn some time ago.
The pool has been in existence
about a year.
United States Steel was fea-
ture of the market today in
point of activity. Trading in
this stock totalled $4,000 shares,
or approximately % per cent of

 TO ARREST DIR. GRIFFIN
At Father Point, Where Steamship
 Montrose Stops for Pilot.

Montreal, July 26.-The Canadian Pacific offices here had no word from the steamer Montrose today, but ex- pect that the steamer will be reported as passing the straits of Belle Isle some time tomorrow. It is likely that Dr. Crfppen, if he is on board, will be placed under arrest on the arrival of the Montrose at Father Point, where the steamer will stop long enough to take on her pilot. He will not be taken from the steamer at that place, but will be brought up to Quebec. Extradition will not be necessary if he is apprehended under the fugitive offenders act all that is required in that case being proof of his identity
 This. 1t is understood the British au- thorities are now preparing to supply by means of people who were ac- quainted with Dr. Crippen when he was engaged in business in Toronto
 His identity once established only an order of a local court will be neces- sary to secure his return to Great Britain on a vessel sailing toward the end of next week, so that the chances are that his stay on this side of the will be of very short duration.

 STATE CONVENTION.
Leadership of State Organization
 Wrested from William J. Bryan.

Grand Island, Neb-, July 26--Nebras- ka dem ocrats tonight wrested the lead ership of their state organization from William J. Bryan on the issue of coun- ty option. By decisive votes they reg istered their unbelief in his present policies after listening to an impas- stoned appeal from MT. Bryan, who declared the liquor interests were en- listed in an organized attempt to gain political control of the state
 The minority plank submitted by MT. Bryan was brief and his opponents de- clared was an effort to recede from his former radical attitude. But the work CTS against the county option plank were unappeased and stood firmly against it
 The attitude of many of MT. Bryans former Iieutenants toward him was evidenced in the speeches of several who addressed the convention after him. His reference to -.assa ssins'' in the party was frequently referred to and as each speaker denounced his present position the cheers of tha dele gates showed that the appeal of Mr. Bryan had been intellectual.

 All Lost in Speculation.
 Leon B. Ginsberg. counsel for the absconding cashier, said tonight that he had no idea where Wider was and had no recent communication with him. "I do not believe Wider has salted' away a penny from the stocks he haa taken" said Ginsberg. "I think it will be found that all the securities were fused in speculation and that he was 'wiped out in his marginal transactions in Wall street."

GIRL BARBER
 IN MEMS CLOTHES Won Praise for Skill with Razor Boss Made Her Wear Disguise.

Newark. July 26.-Persons who have been going regularly for the last few weeks to the barber shop of Sebastian Salano in No. 615 Springfield avenue this city, to get shaved and sham pooed, got a surprise when they learn ed the young man known to them as Jimmie, whose chair they all sought because his touch with the ra- zOr was so light was Mary de Marco, an Italian girl Her hair had been cut short and she wore a natty blue serge suit with such grace that her disguise was perfect and none sus- pected she was q woman masquerad- ing in q mans clothes.
 The young woman might have kept up her disguise for many weeks more without Salano's customers being any the wiser had not the police got wind of the case and exposed the trick by arresting the barber and his girl as- sistant. whose skill with the razor was increa sing his business daily. The po- lice also arrested Albert Rosso an other barber. of No. SIS Sixteenth ave- nue, who was implicated by the young woman.
 The trio were arraigned before Mag court and there the story came out of how the young woman had been forced to work in the barber shops of both men. She told the magistrate she lived in Livingston, and made the &C., qusintance of Rosso through Salano, with whom she had been on intimate terms for a long time. On July 10 last Rosso invited her to go with him to Maplewood, she asserted, and she remembered they had several drinks together. The young woman alleges she was drugged and when she re- covered her senses the morning follow ing she discovered her hair had been cut off and she was dressed in mans suit of colthes. She found herself in Rossa's barber shop, and when she asked him what had happened to her she alleges he told her he had cut off her hair in the woods near Maple wood and had burned her clothing.
 She said she obeyed Rosso's instruc- tions to work in the barber shop, and as she was familiar with the use of razor she had little trouble in keeping up the disguise. She got tired Of the job and in the night she fled to Sa- lano's place and begged him to help her SaIano was kind to her, she as- serts and promised to marry her Meantime she still wore her disguise and shaved the men who came 10 Sa- Iane's place.
 Magistrate YuilI held Rosso in de- fault of $1 800 bail and Salano in $500 bail. The young woman was held as a witness. Salano said he was willing to marry her.
