THE HENRY RESOLUTION
 NARROWLY ESCAPED DEFEAT.
That Proposing Change in Presiden-
 tiaI inauguration Date.

Washington Jan. 14.-An unexpected adjournment of the house today prob ably saved from defeat the Henry reso- lution proposing an amendment of the constitution changing the date of pres idential inaugurations.
 Led by Representative Perkins of New York the opponents of the resolu- ton showed evidences of unsuspected strength.
 Fearful lest he could not muster enough votes to secure the required two-thirds majority for the adoption of the resolution, in the absence of several members who were committed to support it, Representative Henry of Texas, it's author, was determined to prevent a vote. At 4 o'clock, after he had spoken for forty minutes, he asked unanimous consent to continue for one hour Representative Sherley of Ken lucky objected.
 Representative Gaines of West Vir- gtnia then moved the previous oues- ton, and on a division the motion pre- vailed by the close vote of 62 to 61 To prevent a vote MT. Henry made the point of no quorum, but before the speaker could order the doors closed and absentees brought in MT Parker saved the day with a motion to ad- journ, which was carried without op- position.
 The first hour of the days session was devoted to the reading of the presidents conservation message which was enthusiastically received by the republicans and some of the democrats.
 The house adjourned until tomorrow.
 The senate was not in session today.

When Representative Hayes of Califor- mia, the mediator for the insurgents" returned to the house after one of his frequent calls upon President Taft, the news circulated rapidly that a truce had been arranged and a more or less permanent peace in the republican ranks was about to be announced.
 Report Proved Premature.
 This was considered as confirmed when a statement was issued from the White House and another was issued by Representative Dwight, the republi- can whip, announcing the details of the afmistice. The peace pronunciamento proved premature, however, for Rep resentatiVe Hayes, between numerous conefrences with his associates, an- reached and that the matter would go over until tomorrow.
 Gathering of "Insureents."
 At this juncture the insurgents" gathered in the room of Representative Garner of Massachusetts, issued an- other statement saying that "an under standing had been reached" The state ment which was given out by Repre- sentative Hayes follows:
 Tt is true that an understanding has been reached that we shall attend the caucus about to be held for the choice of the republican members of the in- vesuigating committee. The question Of future conferences. however. is one on which there has been no agreement. In fact, I had no authority from my associates to enter into that question. Of course, this agreement in no way affects the issue as to the present sys- tenn of control of the house of repre- sentatfyes"

CHURCH INDIFFERENCE
 TO CHILD LABOR MOVEMENT.
Men Who Sit in Front Pews Largely
 Responsible for Child Labor.

Boston, Jan. 14.-An attack upon church forces for their attitude toward the great social movements of the day and indirectly upon the world wide in terests in foreign missions enliVened the eighth session of the sixth annual conference on child labor at Boston university this evening.
 'In it's indifference to the child labor movement said the Rev. John H. Holmes of the Church Of the Messiah, New York the church is living up to it's own record The church has never been the champion of social reform or the leader of social progress.
 This condition is due first to de- nominationalism and second to interest in another world instead of this world and third to the over-weening interest in foreign missions instead of home missions.
 'tThe men most largely responsible for the labor of children, the men who grow rich from the blood money ere ated by working children, are the men who today are sitting in the front pewS."
