they only want fair committee. Prssi'
dent Taft has told them that this is like
wise his purpose. NJ. Hsyes, who vas
ambassador from the insurgents tn The
White House yesterday, is today credited
With advising bis colleagues only to in
sst upon the appointment Of one insur-
gent on the investigating committee.
There are six to be chosen, aud IL is
likely that they will be apportioned cut
as follows: one insurgent republican,
three regular republicans, Two democrats.
Because the employers liability act
has not besn found entirely satisfactory

road 10 suy particular state 10 obliged TO

The department proposes to amend the
Law so that plaintiff may bring suit
where be resides, where be is injured
where the defendant company may be
found, or where the corporation has Its
headquarters.
The following agreement between the
regular republicans and the insurgents,
arrived through the Office OF Pre'idsnt
Taft was made public at the White
House today: at has been agreed be-
tween the regular republicans sud the
sO.cslled insr rgents represented oy Mr..
Dwight on the one hand szd Mr.. Hayes
on the other, after conferences With The
president, that caucus should be held
TO pass upon the question OF the COM
mittee on the Interior Department inVes'
tigstion with the assurance Of the
insurgents If they came into the caucus
would be fairly treated aud that COM
mittee Of acknowledged impartality
would be appointed. A further sgree-
ment was foreshsdoWed that conferences
should be held from time to time 10
which all elected as republicans
should be invited to take no the
various measures recommended BY
the administration as performances
OF party pledges, the subject of the
census to be be announced in adj
vance,"
Adverse criticism of President Taf's
federal incorporation bill and the storm
OF pro- est which threatens to break upon
its presentation to Congress, uuless ma
terisl changes are made, has brought
forth from Attorney General Wicker
sham the declaration that the measure Is
not completed, and probably will Dot be
for another week. Ths attorney general
also announces that the administration
has virtually abandoned the hope that
the bill can be passed at this session OF
