DON'T WANT RAILWAY JUDGE
Nebraska Commissioner Starts Move
to Influence President Taft.

Lincoln, April 1.-THE Nebraska
state railway commission has inau-

members will attempt to influence
President Taft against the appoint.
ment of any person who has been a
railway attorney to fill the vacancy
on the bench of the United States
supreme court made vacant by the
death of Justice Brewer. The COM
nilsson is sending a letter to the rail-
way commissions of other states ask
ing them to join in an urgent request
to the president that in making the
selection he do not appoint a man
who has received his legal training as
a railroad lawyer.
The letter being sent out states that
regardless of the high integrity of
any man the president might select,
the commission feels that in view of
railroad reform now in progress, no
man should be appointed to the SUI.
preme bench whose judgment might
be warped by long experience as at
torney for a railway corporation.

Washington, April 14.-"Ten years

the other 80 percent were not wanted"

INTRIGUE AGAINST AMERICAN
New Ambassador to Mexico Says He's
Victim Of a Plot There

Mexico City, April 14.-Henry Lane
Wilson, newly arrived American am
bassador to Mexico, believes that a
plot to embarrass him in the discharge
of the duties of his office exists in this
city.
He does not venture to name those
upon whom his suspicious rest, If he
has suspicious as to the identity of
those interested, but declares that Gin
due time the exact character of the
intrigue, which is one not only hostile
to the embassy but the interests of the
American government as well, will be
known"
His discovery of the alleged intrigue
grew out of the receipt by FL Impair
cial a leading Spanish daily here, of a
New York special recounting the pub
LEGATION in that city of sensational
story under a Mexico City date of an
offense which the ambassador is al
legged to have given the Mexican peo-
pie in a recent speech at a banquet
given in his honor by the American
colony.
Mr.. Wilson is said to have "suc.
ceeded, as has no other diplomat be-
fore him, in exciting the latin blood
of Mexico through historical refer
ence to the empire of Charles V Of
Spain, which he said enSlaved the
bodies and souls Of the people of two
hemispheres in the name of God, and
attributing to the Aztec and Toltic
blood in large degree the rise and de-
velopment of Mexican civilization"
The ambassadors words were criti.
cized editorially by Ell Correo Espan-
ole, newspaper of limited circula-
tion among the Spanish residents here,
and this was made the basis of the
story telegraphed from Mexico City
and published in New York. Ell I'M
pacial, regarded as particularly the
representative publication Of Mexico,
as we'll as a number of lesser Next
can dailies, editorially commended
the utterances of the new ambassador.

New York, April IA. - The torpedo
boat Winslow, an antiquated little
craft with more history than any
other vessel of its class in the navy,

MAY YET DEPOSE CANNON
Feeling in Congress Again Takes on
High Tension Tone.

Washington, April 15.-As a result
of Speaker Cannon's speech of last
Monday in which he once more defed
suing acrid retorts of various leaders
of the latter faction in which they
promised ito attend to his case later"
the situation in the house today, as in
dicated by many private conferences
among the members, was one of con-
siderable tension.
Notwithstanding the fact that a
great percentage of them privately
discussed during the day the threat
ened deposition of Speaker Cannon no
attempt at such drastic action is eX-
pected for the present. Leaders of
the insurgent republicans expressed
themselves without exception as oppos-
ed to any radical move against the
speaker until after all administration
legislation and other important meas
ures have been disposed of.
There was nothing in the remarks
of the democratic members to indicate
that there would be any change in the
attitude Of the minority towards the
speakership, as expressed in their re-
cent unanimous vote to declare the
chair vacant.
Many democrats prefer to have the
issue of "Cannonism" remain in its
present status, but on the side of both
the democrats and insurgents there
was freely expressed the opinion that
before adjournment another fight
against the speaker will be precipitat-
ed.

late hour last night. When he read,

Graves Offers Hearst Support.
John Temple Graves, former candi-
date for vice president of the United
States on the independence league
ticket, injected into the Jefferson day
dinner here late last night a sensa-
IlOUdl feature. MI. ITdNtS, "uO was
not on the program, had been request
ed at late hour, to speak. He offer
ed to the democratic party in the
coming campaign the support of the
independence league and its organizer,
William r. Hearst, if the party would
respect the protestant principles of
the independence league.
I'VE are here" said Mr.. Graves, Eat
this time of hope for democratic sue
cess, that is the success of real JEFF
ferson democracy. If the democratic
party is ready for the principles that
our league has fought for, we should
unite in this forthcoming struggle.
"lhe independence league is against
the democratic party of caucus, but
for ,4e democratic party responsibility,
the part of principle. We are here
for united action. 1t depends on you.
We are ready to accept the democratic
party that is not half Bryan, half Bel
mont, half Hearst, half Bryan. If
these terms are not acceptable the
independence league must stand out
side and await better day"

SENATOR BURTON PRESENTS a
MINORITY REPORT.
FoReRuNNeR OF HEATED BATTLE
Senator Burton. Acting Against Pleas
OF Many Friends, Presents Report
Condemning Piecemeal Appropria-
tions-May Ask Taft to Veto.

Washington, April -Disregarding
the pleas of many of his associates.
Senator Burton of Ohio, chairman of
the national waterways committee.
who was chairman of the rivers and
harbor committee when he served in
the house, and who is now a member
or the senate committee on commerce,
today presented a minority report on
the pending bill which would appro-
pirate about s52,OO0,OO0 for the i'm.
provement of rivers and harbors.
The character of his opposition,
which is sweeping arraignment of
piecemeal appropriations as well as
condemnation of many named pro-
jects, makes it certain that the con.
test to be waged over the bill will be
one of the most heated in the history
of the senate.
The report made by Mr., Burton Is
designed to attract the attention Of
the country as well as of congress- as
it is said that if his opposition to a
majority Of those great projects should
be unsuccessful there will be launched
a movement looking to the veto Of the
bill by the president.
