HOUSE COMMITTEE TO
REPORT FAV0RABLY ON
M0NDELL'S LAND BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The house
committee on public lands voted today
to report favorably the Mondel bill
admitting to entry the surface of coal
lands in the United States. The mea-
sure affects about 3O000,OO0 acres of
land in Wy ming, Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
The bill makes it possible for ac-
tual settlers to make entry on the
surface of coal lands under the home
stead act or the desert land entry law
and also makes possible Withdrawals
under the reclamation act.
The United States would issue a
patent to such lands but would re-
serve all rights to coal on the lands
as well as the pri- ilege of prospect
ing. mining and removing the coal.
Regarding the proposed law, Mr..
Mondell said:
"This bill, if it becomes a law, will
open to settlement, cultivation and re-
clamation millions of acres of land, the
surface of which is now unoccupied
except as it is used for grazing and
on a large portion of which coal will
not be mined for masy years, If at
all. as the coal areas are extensive.
TT is a conservation measure in the
sense that it both protects and re-
serves government coal deposits, and
one that has a bearing on the high
price of agricultural products, as II
will open further areas to production.

ASK TAFT TO HELP
CURB INSURGENCY
Republican Whip Confers with Presl-
dent in Regard to Situation
Growing Out of Fow-
ler Resolution

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Represen-
tative Dwight of New York, Repup-
lican whip: Representatives Boutell or
Illinois and Dalzell Of Pennsylvania
called at the White House to see what
aid the president would lend to stem
the tide of insurgency which is sald
to threaten the existence OF the COM
mittee on rules.
The last cause for alarm. on the part
of the regulars" was the Fowler res
oIution, deposing the speaker as a
member of the committee on rules
and trebling it's membership.
The regulars want the presidents s
help, but Mr.. Taft is reluctant to be-
come involved in the factional strife.
He made it clear that his main pur-
nose is to obtain the enactment OF
certain legislation to which the Re-
publican party is pledged and, or
course, that he is willing to do what
he can to harmonic the elements IN
the party when the point of action IS
reached upon any of these measures.
Later today the president had long
talk with Representative Hayes OF
California, commonly rated as an IN
surgent, and also with Senator Pen
rose of Pennsylvania. The purpose OF
the talk with the senator was to get
an estimate of the chances of success
for certain administration measures.
Apparently the prospects We're re-
ported favorable for the postal saw
ings bank, the Alaskan bill, the bill
validating withdrawal of public lands
for conservation purposes, and the bill
to enlarge functions of the interstate
commerce commission.

SUGGESTS CREATION
OF COMMITTEE FOR
DETERMINING BUDGET

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-Suggesting
the creating of committee on budget
to determine at the beginning of each
session of congress the limit of appro-
priations by each committee of the
house, Mr.. Douglas of Ohio today in
sisted that only by such method
could military expenditures be kept
down in the interest of larger allow
ances for agriculture.
In appropriating Il per cent of the
revenues for warlil1e purposes and
only 2 per cent for agriculture, Mr..
Douglas declared congress was not
acting for the interests of the people.
Chairman Tawney of the appropria-
tions committee expressed sympathy
with the purpose sought which, he
said, would be accomplished if all ap-
propriation bills were considered by a
single committee.
Debate on the agricultural bill was
concluded On a point of order a pro-
vision was eliminated authorizing the
secretary of agriculture to purchase
and destroy animals suffering from
pleuro- pneumonia.
The senate spent more than two
hours in an academic discussion of the
tariff, with especial consideration of
its effect on the present high prices of
food products.
Senator Gallinger indicated opposi-
ton to the speedy disposal of the pos
tai savings bank bill, and Senator
Bailey said he would oppose it every
time it came up. The Gore resolution
for an inquiry into the cost of the
transportation off second-class mail
matter was referred to the committee
on postoffices.
The house adjourned until tomor-
row and the senate until Monday.

HOUSE RULES FIGHT
TAKEN INTO STATES
Representatives Find in Congressional
Campaign They Have to Ex-
plain Attitude Regard
ing Cannon

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.-The fight
against the rules of the house has been
carried into the congressional cam
paign in a number of states, and sew
eral representatives have found it
necessary to issue addresses to the
people at home" to explain their at
titude regarding the speakership and
the house rules.
Representatives Steenerson and Da-
Wis, both of Minnesota, and both in
surgents, have issued statements.
Steenerson is chairman of the commit
tee on militia. Both have been at
tackled in their home districts. Steen-
erson and Davis have indicated their
wish to have their constituencies ex-
press themselves as to what lengths
they should go in their opposition, and
Steenerson, in his statement, points
out that while he has been an insur-
gent and has voted and worked for
reform so as to reduce the speakers
power and has gone Ito the very
limit" he has refused to desert the
party, explaining that to have done
so would have defeated the very pur-
pose of the insurgents. He says he
will support any good Republican for
speaker if he is favorable to rules re-
form and with such reformed rules
'even Mr. Cannon would eat out of
hand and be as tame as a dove
At least one member has suggest
ed to his district that there are rules
in their state legislature comforting
greater patronage and power on their
speakers than the house rules bestow
on Cannon. Mr.. Steenerson, for in
stance, says two speakers of the Min
nesota legislature have exercised
greater authority than Speaker Can
non ever has done.

THREE WARDLAW SISTERS
MAY BE GIVEN FREEDOM
Attorneys Argue Aiding Suicide of
ocey w. M. Snead Is Not
Crime in New Jersey

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Claiming that
aiding and abetting a suicide is not
crime in the state of New Jersey, coun-
sci for the three Wardlaw sisters now
in jail awaiting trial for causing the
deaths.of Ocey w. NJ. Snead, the East
Orange bathtub victim, are taking
steps to free the elderly prisoners.
Today the New Jersey prosecuting
authorities found on file a demurrer
to the Indictment against the women,
and they prepared to combat when
as anticipated, it is moved for early
argument before the supreme court.
Attorneys for Mrs. Caroline B. Mar
tin. mother OF the victim, and Mrs.
Mary Snead and Miss Virginia Ward
law, the dead girls aunts, the three
under Indictment, declare the recent
finding by a chemist that the dead
woman's body contained morphine dis
proves the theory she was murdered by
drowning in a bathtub and brings the
suicide accusation to the front. Prece-
dents are cited in the demurrer for the
claim there is no crime in suicide or
in aiding in a suicide under the New
Jersey laws.
The attorneys declare that if former
decisions are upheld, the prosecutor
either will have to bring a direct charge
of murder or free the three women,
who have now been held without bail
for several weeks.

FINDINGS OF PHYSICIANS
IN SW0PE CASE WITHHELD
Prosecuting Attorney Will Reveal
Nothing Until He Receives
Official Report

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 2S.-Although
findings of physicians who have been
examining the stomach Of the late Col.
Thomas H. Swope in Chicago for traces
of poison were made known to attor-
neys in the case here today, the nature
of the report is not positively known
to others than those to whom it was
returned.
Attorneys held a conference with
Henry L. Jost. first assistant prose-
cutting attorney, but refused TO give out
any statement.
The report was made to John G.. Pax
ton, one of the Swope attorneys. 1t
was only a short message saying the
physicians had completed their work,
giving him clew to their findings and
asking him to come to Chicago.
1t is expected Mr.. Paxton will leave
for Chicago tomorrow to receive the
official report.
Prosecutor Virgil Conkling is i'll and
was unable to attend the conference
today. After talking with Attorney
Jost he said:
THE official report of the physicians
will be in my hands within forty-eight
hours. Until that time l shall not state
whether poison has been found in the
stomach"

PRESIDENT WANTS MERGER
SUIT CONTINUED
TURNS DEAF EAR TO APPEALS
OF S. p. AND U. P.
Wickersham Assures Chief Executive
He Has a Good Case Against
Lovett's Lines, So the
Action Proceeds
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON Jan. 2S.-The presi-
dent has determined to press to a con-
clusion the pendir suit against the
Union and Southern Pacific Railroad
companies looking to a dissolution of
the merger, and today concluded to
deny the application of N-r. Lovett,
Mr.. Harriman's successor, for a dis
missal of the suit.
Soon after Judge Lovett and a num-
Der of influential railroad people ap-
pealed to the president to quash pro-
ceedings before Judge Vandeventer' s
court in Salt Lake, MIR. Taft, following
the course that had been adopted in
the case of the famous New York, New
Haven & Hartford railroad, when
similar appeal was made, referred the
matter to the attorney general for eH-
animation.
In the New England case it was
found that, because of action taken by
the state of Massachusetts, and the in
significance of the government inter-
ests, 1t would be best to abandon the
prosecution of the railroad, and this
was done.
But Attorney General Wickersham
reached a different conclusion in the
Pacific railroad merger case, and to-
day he handed to President Taft a
voiuminous report, conclusions OF
which justified the president in the an
nouncement that there was a good
case against the railroads, following
the decision in the Northern Securities
litigation.
Therefore proceedings at Salt Lake
City will be pressed.
The status of the case at present is
this: The government has put in its
testimony.
The defense must begin in April,
and the usual evidence in rebuttal
must be submitted thereafter. Then
the case will go to that novel tribunal
of four judges provided by the anti
trust act, known as the expeditlng
court. and doubtless in the end it will
come before the supreme court.

Proposed Legislation for Ad-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2S.--"For Gods

New York Central lines, in opposing
before the house committee on inter-

He explained that trains sometimes
