By vote of 191 to 155, the Republi-
can insurgents voting solidly with the
Democrats, the House Saturday adopt
ed the resolution of Representative
Norris, Republican, of Nebraska, re-
quiring a reorganization of the rules
committee, increasing its membership
from five to ten, and declaring the
Speaker ineligible to membership
thereon By the curiously identical
vote of 191 to I55-but with decid-
eddy different personnel of alignment
the House defeated a resolution of
Representative Burleson of Texas, de-
claring the Speakership vacant and
ordering an immediate election of a
successor to Mr.. Cannon.

In the Senate Thursday Mr.. Cum
Minis delivered the third section of his
bill and was interrupted by adjourn
ment. A mighty battle was precipitat-
ed in the House early in the day by a
resolution offered by the insurgents
to select a new committee on rules
and exclude Speaker Cannon from
membership Several times the speak
er was defeated and he was finally
forced to adopt a filibuster to delay
action. Up to late hour the result
was undecided.

EXPECT SHORT TRIAL
In The WOLTER CASE

Special to The NeUS.
New York, April 15.-New evidence
against Albert Voter, accused of lur-
ing fifteen-year-old Ruth Wheeler to
his room by promise of employment
and there killing her, has been OBJ
tanned by a secret autopsy for which
the girls remains were eXhumed, it
was learned today.
The prosecution is prepared to
force the case to trial Monday. The
attempt to secure a change of venue
has failed, Wallace D. Scott, counsel
for Wolter, having been told by Jus
tice Greenbaum, before whom he made
the demand, that in a smaller COM
munity in the vicinity of New York
greater difficulty would be encoun-
tered in securing a jury. A special
panel of veniremen has been sum-

the trial is not expected to last more
than two or three days. One of the

That hypocrisy is the greatest COM
pliment to virtue is as true in things
political as it is in matters affecting
morality only. The Holy Synod of
Russia has issued an order to the
clergy of that empire that they must
not mix politics with religious mat

Gar The Holy Synod is known for
its bigotry and unholy prosecutions of
all who are not members of the
church whose dogmas it announces
and in the enforcement of which it
has all the despotic power of the
country on it's side. The real reason
lies in the fact that hundreds and
thousands of the inferior clergy have
openly sided with the progressive ele-
ment in the agitation of recent years
and have more than once taken the
opportunity to demonstrate with the
emperor against the action of men in
high places. But the announcement
that the clergy are forbidden to mix
religion with politics sounds good to
ears abroad where the mixture is not
regarded favorably, while at home
none of the restrictions against
Catholics, all shades of Protestants,
Mohammendans and Jews have not
been repealed nor modified to any per

Malcolm r. Patterson, the nan who
patdoned MIN, is being burned il of-
+ fgy in many of the towns in Tennes-
see, and in the minds of the best
! people Of that state he is held in ut
! ter contempt. His name is a by-word
for all that is low and mean and
vicious. But he is so STEPPED in sin,
so hardened in crime, so callous to
criticism. so Indifferent to the good
opinion of decent people, that nothing
they can do will disturb or deter him.
He was elevated to his Office througi
the Vaccinations of the Liquor Deal
ers' Association; he won out" by the
most brazen use of money, supple
mented by the most corrupt methods
that were ever used. He was put in
office by the worst elements of so
ciety to do their bidding, and he has
delivered the goods He has be-
trayed every other trust in life ex
cept the trust the devil committed to
him to curse and abuse and help
damn his fellow man. He has been
true to that. From boyhood to middle
age his path is strewn with broken
promises and wicked deeds. He is a
creature fit for any kind of treason,
strategem or spols. He is a thing
capable of doing the very worst and
most ignoble act that treason to duty
could suggest; prostitution of his
office to pardon cowardly, red-hand-
ed assassin.
Poor old Tennessee, In deep hui
initiation and shame this proud old
commonwealth hangs its head, almost
in hopelessness and despair. But the
State that can rise up from the ashes
of Reconstruction days, can drive
even worse thieves and criminals
from its offices and high places of

nations fight her future battles for
her. May the gods whose mills grind
slowly, so do their work as to utterly
annihilate the forces of evil which now
run riot in Tennessee.

doubt that every possible stone has
been turned to arrive at fair con-
clusion as to the efficacy of the Sher-
man antitrust law in the cases in
volving the Standard Oil Company and
the American Tobacco Company, it is
likely the government attorneys will
delay a reasonable time in asking for
the reassignment of argument dates
for these cases in the supreme court
in the hope that a full court of nine

err them.
President Taft soon will appoint a

death of Justice Brewer The remain

who has been too i'll to participate in

These circumstances are all serving
to delay the conference of the attor-
