International News Special
 Washington, D. G., Dec. 5-The closing session of the siXty-first Congress opened today at noon. No business was transacted, both branches meeting merely to appoint a joint committee to formally apprise the Pres: :dent that the legislative branch of the government was ready to proceed to call the roll of members and adjourn after adopting resolu- tions to the memory of those mem- bers who had joined the vast majority since the Congress met last.
 The usual innovation marked the opening in both the Senate and House hut the reunion of old legislative friends was tinged with sadness be- cause of the heavy toll death had talk en among their number in the las. few months. In consequence the Senate was in session only quarter of an hour, while the House occupied fifty minutes or more before Speaker Cannon declared it adjourned until tomorrow. The members, like school boys released from the.r classrooTs, weni forth from the Capitol to face a blinding snowstorm that had set in with the dawn of the opening day.
 More than usual interest was manl- fested in the opening because of the passing of the balance of political power from the Republican party with the end of the session. AS re- suit the galleries were crowded.
 Since the adjournment last June there have been four deaths in the Senatorial ranks, rendering it unne- cessary to make official announce ment in each case when the Senate convened. Vice President Sherman was prompt in making his appearance in the Senate chamber and he brought the Senate to order with the rap of his gavel just as the two hands of the clock united to announce the arrival of the noon hour. Immedi- ately afterward came the opening prayer by Dr. Ulysses Grant Pierce who referred Ito the unusual number of death during the recess. The roll call that followed disclosed eighteen senators present, only eight failing to respond to their names. Resolu- tons by Senators Hale and Cullom

TELL MIR. TAFT
 WHAT THEY WANT Insurgents Did Not Mince Words at the White
 House Monday
THE WAR IS STILL ON
No Advance Made Toward Harmony and Reorganization of the
 Republican Party.
International News Special

Washington D. C., Dec. o.-Presi- dent Taft today extended the right hand of good fellowship to a group of Insurgents, headed by Senator Bristow, of Kansas, one of the most "red headed'' of them all. This time the House Insurgents were included in the invitation and such we'll known strangers as Victor Murdock, of Kan sas; Norris, of Nebraska; Madison, of Kansas and Hays, of California, en- tered the room of the Chief Executive and enjoyed the rare experience of be- ing consulted about the nation s af- fairs as part of the harmony and reorganization of the Republican par ty.
 "There is nothing definite to lndl- cate yet and that any perceptible ad- vance is being made towards quelling war" Senator Norris said: As far ae we can see l take for granted that on some Questo we will be with the majority of the Republicans and on others we will be against them.
 "In other words, where the pG''ey of a makjority meets the ideas of the Insurgents, the latter will go along. Otherwise not. This leaves the situation just where it was, so the | Insurgents will stand pat. And Il there is to be harmanious action the President and the regulars will have to go over to the Insurgents side"
 The President discussed the Su- preme Court appointments Y
 most of his callers and here again the result seemed to have been mere ly to bring out more boldly the dil- ! ferences with the split between the wo wings of he pary. A number of Kansans have endorsed District l Judge Pollock, of that state, for one of the vacant supreme justiceships. Senator Bristow today bluntly told the president that the Insurgents did not like Judge Pollock and of his name is forwarded to the Senate for one of the vacancies there will sure be a fight. He said. he wants Judge Hook, of the Eight District, appoint ed, as did most of the Insurgents. 4

MARY RUTHERFORD
 UNDER ARREST Another Witness in McVay r [urder Case to Be Secur-
 ed by Brewster.
IN SOUTH CAROLINA
No Special Session of Grand Jury Johnson Ragland Brought
 From Texas.

After an announcement was made last Saturday by Judge Grace that he would reconvene the present Jeffer- son county grand jury to take up the case of J. w. Ethridge, charged with the assassination of Albert McVay, request having been made by District Attorney T. Havis Nixon, it was de- cided yesterday by Judge Grace not to have the grand jury recalled at this time or on December 12, as at first thought, butt to permit the pres ent grand jury, which has adjourned to January "A, to take up the investi- gation at that time. This will en- able the defendan to have trial at the March term of the Jefferson cir cult court. The court docket is made up until after Christmas, in fact, until nearly the day on which the grand jury VII reconvene. Judge Grace is also to hold court in Desha county the second Monday in January and it would be impossible for him to hear the McVay murder case ear- Her than the next term of court. Dis trict Attorney Nixon talked the mat ter over with Judge Grace yesterday and the nal decision of Judge Grace not to recall the grand jurors re- suited.
 The only new developments in the McVay murder case yesterday was the arrival in the city early that morn ing of Deputy Sheriff c. c. Green. who was sent to Edna, Texas, for Doc, alias Johnson Ragland, the ne- gro who made a written confession charging Ethridge with the assass: na- tion of McVay in this city on the night of July 5, 1908, and who is re- garded as the states most important witness. Deputy Green brought Johnson here, after securing requ'si- tion papers and he was placed in the Jefferson county jail, being held on an accessory to murder charge, and as a witness.
 Ragland was visited by District Az torney Nixon yesterday and is sad to have reiterated his written statements regarding the murder, as we'll as give other valuable information regarding the preliminary plans for the assass- nation. MT. Nixon would not reveal any details of the interview yester- day, but declined to discuss the ma, ter at all. Senator H. K. Toney, counsel for Ethridge, spent yesterday ill Little Rock It is believed that his visit there had some connection with the McVay case, although he did not make known his business in that city Sheriff Brewster declin- ed to permit any newspaper men to see Ragland yesterday. It is believ- ed that this order will remain in ef- feet until after the trial of Ethridge.
 When Deputy Sheriff Green arrived in the city yesterday morning short1 ly after 1 o'clock, Sheriff Brewster and Deputy Sheriff R. H. Williams met him at, Union Station and the three officials took Ragland to th. county jail.

Refused to Fight Forest Fire.

Because he refused to leave a
$3.50 day job for day to fight
forest fires when called upon by a
deputy state fire warden, Charles
Simon, of North Bend, is serving ten
days in the county jail. The state
law provides that upon an emer-
gency call from a deputy fire ward
en-, any citizen may be called upon
to help fight dangerous fire. The
Washington Forest Fire association
is more active this year than ever be-
fore in its fight against destructive
forest fires. Several small fires have
occurred already this season in West
ern Washington. But the association
and it's patrolmen and the state Off
cials are on the watch for each small
blaze and hope to get through the
dry season without any disastrous
fires such as have each year wiped
out many thousands Of dollars worth
of fine timber. They are warning
farmers against burning slashings at
this season and campers against
leaving any fires Of any sort behind

tion sales.
The reservations now being pre-
pared for opening next year, with
their approximate areas, are as fol-
lows:
Montana - Blackfeet, $4,000
acres; Fort Peck, 1,776,000.
Misunderstanding, 100000
acres.
North Dakota-Fort Berthold,
$50, 900 acres.
South Dakota-Rosebud, $50, 900
acres; Pine Ridge, 100000.
With deductions made from these
figures for allotments to the Indians,
1t is expected that the amounts to be
Offered to the public in the respec-
tive areas will be about as follows:
Blackfeet, 100000 acres; Fort
Peck, 100000; Colville, 1000, 900;
Fort Berthold, 100000; Rosebud,
100000; Pine Ridge, practically
nothing.
The Pine Ridge reservation in
South Dakota, including much valu-
able farming land within its bor-
ders, is another tract in which the
white settler will have little oppor-
tunity to secure a home. Prelimin-
airy reports received at the Indian Of
flee from men engaged in allotting
the lands state that there will be
hardly anything left when the In
dians have been cared for.
More Sioux Indians live on the
Pine Ridge reserve than on any
other tract set aside by the govern
ment. Over 600O of them are claim
ing allotments Of from 100 to $40
acres each; and when all have been
provided for it Is believed there will
be small comfort for the white set
tier in the remaining lands.
The Indians on the Fort Berthold
reservation in North Dakota have
succeeded in squeezing an addition
al 1875, 900 acres of land out Of Uncle
Sam, cutting down to that extent the
amount that will be offered to the
public. The allotments were all fin
ished there when congress passed its
bill few weeks ago, authorizing the
opening of part Of the reservation to
settlement. This bill gave each In
dian an additional quarter section,
and the government agents must par
eel out as much more in homesteads
to the Indians as they had already
given them.

WASHINGTON STATE
SENATORIAL FIGHT
Secretary Ballinger Involved i'm the
Contest-Calls Poindexter
Demagogue.

The state of Washington is to have
one of the most spirited United
States senatorial campaigns ever
waged in its borders and the fight
has already commenced with Con-
gresham Miles Poindexter, of Spok-
ane; John l.. Wilson, former senator
and owner of the Post-Intelligencer,
,of Seattle; Judge John e. Hum
phreys. of Seattle, and Judge Thomas
Burke and James NJ. Ashton, of Ia
coma, as candidates. The campaign
has resolved itself into a free -for-all
affair, to be fought out in the prim-
aries next August. The primary law
in Washington Is complicated. Elec-
tors are permitted to indicate first
and second choice, II no candidate
receives 40 per cent Of the first choice
votes cast, 1t then becomes necessary
to add the first and second choice
votes. the candidate getting the
highest number of the combination
votes being declared the winner.
"Mr, Wilson, formerly a resident
of Spokane, was making a runaway
race of It," said a student Of politics
of Spokane, "but the Roosevelt
PoindeXter conference at Oyster Bay
and the arrival of Mr.. Poindexter In
Spokane has changed things. Mr..
Poindexter undoubtedly will make
the most of his talk with Colonel
Roosevelt, Another thing Is that
Mr.. Poindexter has been almost as
persistent fighter against Speaker
Cannon as he has been against Rich
ard Ballinger, secretary Of the inter-
ior, who Is also a Washington man.
The conservation question has been
injected into the campaign. Mr.. Will
liams favors conservation, but by the
state rather than by the federal gov
eminent. Mr.. Poindexter has an
nounced repeatedly that he favors
conservation as expounded by Clifford
Pinchot and has attacked Mr.. Bal
linger on the ground that he is not
a conservationist at heart.
"Mr. Ballinger, who is now in the
west, has denounced Mr.. Poindexter
as demagogue and a socialist. He
also says that not so many years ago,
when Mr.. PoindeXter lived in Ten
nessee, he was identified with the
democratic party and did not become
republican until he settled in Wash
ington."
Mr.. Poindexter was elected to con-
gress on an anti-Cannon platform,
succeeding Wesley l.. Jones, of North
Yakima, now senator He has been
most pronounced in denouncing
Speaker Cannon's methods He was
formerly Judge of the Spokane coun-
ty superior court, also prosecuting
attorney of Walla Walla and Spokane
counties.
