INSURGENTS ARE
ANGRY AT CANNON
SOME WOULD TAKE UP MATTER OF
DEPOSING HIM NOW.
MADISON OF KANSAS SAYS SPEAK
ER'S BLUFF" WILL BE CALLED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April II. =
Speaker Cannon's def to the Repub-
lican insurgents of the House in his
speech on the floor when he abruptly
told them that unless they have the
courage" to combine with the Democrats
and vote to vacate the chair, he would
remain speaker until March 4, 1911,
brought expressions from the insurgent
leaders today in no uncertain tones.
The speaker can continue to make
these irritating defies," said Representa-
tive Victor Murdoch of Kansas, until
after the administration legislation is
disposed of. He knows that he is per-
fectly safe just now. But after we have
passed the important legislation in hand
his case will be attended to. A man
can't continue to make large bluffs with
out eventually being called
Representative POindexter of Washing
ton. another 'insurgent," who, with Muir
dock, voted some weeks ago in favor
of the BurlesOn resolution to depose
Speaker Cannon, was equally caustic.
"Cannon's action is foolish" he said.
He is sitting on a powder paill and it
seems to me pretty reckless perform
ance for him to keep from striking
matches all around the place. He'll touch
this thing off some day and he will find
himself going up through the dome of
the capitol.
The speaker cannot eliminate the is
sue Of CannOnlsm by constantly parad-
ing it III the House. The issue is not
an incidental or personal one, but is fun
damental and there can be no harmony
until it is finally disposed of and dis
posed of in the right way. Cannon's
speech was not a particularly fine effort
at harmonizing the party"
There were many informal conferences
among the ''insurgent" members during
the day.

assigned to Walsh in fact are being per-

ROOSEVELT TO TALK
ON CONSERVATION
Ex-President Accepts Pinchot's Invita-
ton to Address Congress Late
in Summer.

PORTO MAURIZIO, Italy, April -.
Clifford PinchOt, former chief forester
of the United States department of agri-
culture, was again at the villa of Miss
Carow before 8 o'clock this morning. 1t
was assumed that he was there for a
final talk with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Despite the reticence of both men, II
is accepted as a matter of course that
Mr.. Roosevelt is in possession now of
Pinchot's complete case against Secre-
tary Ballinger's conservation policy and
of what has been described here as IAN
alleged reactionary tendency in forestry
matters Of the administration of Presi-
dent Taft.
The most significant development was
the announcement made at the conclu-
sion of Pinchot's visit today that Mr..
Roosevelt had accepted an invitation
from the former chief forester to address
the National Conservation Congress late
i'll the coming summer at a time and
place yet to be fixed.
Former Mayor Phelan of San Francis
co arrived here at noon after an auto
mobile ride from Monte Carlo, and drove
at once to the CaroW villa for cal!
upon Mr.. Roosevelt.
The weather continued beautiful and
Mr.. Roosevelt planned another excursion
into the mountains for this afternoon.

Frazee, pastor of the Clark Avenue
Friends church, has contributed his

d-windled to seyenty-fve persons and
there was debt on the church of $4,000.
Through his efforts the debt has been
reduced to $500 which must be paid
before May 1. DR.. Frazee has raised
$1,000, but finds himself at the end of

CAN'T BEAT THE BEET.
One of the Most Valuable of All Guilt
waited Vegetables

The beet beats all 1t is one of the
most valued of cultivated plants, says
Chicago Tribune. The sugar beet is Il
main source of sugar and alcohol. The
large forage beets supply an excellent
food for cattle, and the red garden va
rieties provide savory table vegetables.
The usefulness of this valuable food has
now been increased by the production of
an edible flour from sugar beets. The
desiccation of sliced sugar beets is prac-
ticed in Germany on an extensive scale,
but the produce is employed exclusively
as fodder for cattle.
In Belgium a meal is made from dried
beets. 1t is entirely free from the dis
tinctive flavor of the beet, and is suitable
for cakes, pudding and pastry. AS it
contains about 50 per cent. of sugar it
can often be substituted with advantage
for sugaz IN somewhat larger quantities.
The processes of desiccation and grinding
not only cost less than the extraction Of
sugar. but preserve all the sugar of the
beet, part of which is rejected in the
form of molasses in the process of SUI
gar making.

members ever held in western Wisconsin.

forms by meddling III the fractional dis

constituents.
Both the Republican factions were re-
ferred to as being welded to the idols
of protection and extravaganza, and It
was argued there was no hope of reform
except through the Democratic party.
In the approaching campaign it will
be the duty Of Democrats to scOrn all
oyertUres Of those Republicans, regulars
and insurgents, alike, who with honeyed
words will invite them into the Repub-
lican primaries" said Burr w. Jones
IN sounding the battle cry Of the meeting
Taxes Not Decreased.
Mr.. Richmond presented a formidable
array OF figures gathered in each county
i'll western Wisconsin, showing that while
railway taxes had in the last fifteen
years been increased over 100 per cent
on the plea Of lessening the burden on
the small property owners in the cities
and on the small farmers state tax
levied in the several counties in this
vicinity had been increased at last 800
per cent. and in one case as high as 1900
per cent.
Chairman Manson advocated the Dem
GcratlC state convention to draft Il plat
form and nominate a ticket and said the
primary law had been passed for the
double purpose of turning out the Stall
warts and destroying the Democratic
party.
