GREATEST CONGRESS
IN MANY YEARS
so DECLARES REPRESENTATIVE
DWIGHT, REPUBLICAN
HOUSE WHIP.
CHAMP CLARK TAKES ISSUE
SAYS MAJORITY IN HURRY
TO GO HOME.

Washington, Feb. 5-"Never in
years has any session of congress
done as much work as the present
one" said Representative Dwight, of
New York, republican house whip, in
a statement yesterday.
Congress has been in session less
than six week and has passed the
army, urgent deficiency, District OF
Columbia and agricultural appropria-
ton bills The house thus far has
fully fulfilled the presidents pledges
and those of the leaders of both
branches of congress, that the strict
est economy will be followed We
also have redeemed two pledges OF
the party platform by passing a bill
to establish a bureau of mines and
mining, and admit Arizona and New
Mexico
Mr.. Dwight added that no republican
in the house has been disposed to re.
tard the passage of the presidents
bills regarding conservation, antitrust
law or railroad rate law amendments.
Continuing Mr. Dwight said:
Mr.. Taft's specific recommends
tons regarding conservation and
amendments of the Sherman law and
Hepburn railroad rate law, did not
come to congress until after January
8. These recommendations now are
IN the hands of committees which
have been working overtime in con.
sultatlon with the president and at
torney general, but at the earliest pos
slble moment bills will he drafted and
reported. Other important bills are
ready to be reported.
There has been shown thus far ne
disposition by any republican in the
mouse to retard the passage of any
OF these measures. Criticism that
congress is slow in acting is without
foundation and unfair"
Champ Clark, democratic leader.
commenting upon Mr. Dwight's state.
ment, said:
What the republicans really are
going to do is to pass a few appropri-
alton bills, some bridge bills and pri-
vate claims and one or two of Presi-
dent Taft's propositions, then adjourn
and get home as quick as possible to
save as many republican congressman
THIS fall as they can. But they have
not the slightest hope in the world
OF electing another republican house
OF representatives" added Congress
man Clark.

Madison, Feb.

Madison, Feb. 5.
In connection with the appointment
of a revisor of the state laws, made
under the provisions of a law passed
at the last session of the state legis.
lature, an interesting question arose
in the supreme court, and was decided
by that body yesterday. Under the

of the state law library, were empow-
cred to appoint an officer to be known
as the revisor, whose duty it would
be, among other things, to have
charge of the work of preparing and
utes of the state.
The law provided that the appoint
ment should be made on Or after the
third Wednesday in January of each
year in which the legislature is in
session, except that the first appoint.
ment should be made upon the pass
age and publication of the act. When
the trustees met to take up the mat,
ter OF this appointment for the pres.
ent year, division arose as to the
rlght and propriety of making such
an appointment, and the matter was
taken under Amusement Opinions
In the matter were filed with the
clerk yesterday
Justice Wlnslow, speaking for the
| majority of the court, held that the
authority delegated to the trustees
was a proper judicial act and one
which judges, as such trustees. should
perform. Justice Siebecker filed a dis.

that while in his Judgment the mower

New York, Feb. 5.--After being In
session from ten O'Clock yesterday
morning until midnight, the intercol-
legiate football rules committee ad-
journed until today without making
any definite recommendation for
modifying the game 1t was the gen.
eral opinion of the committee that
the present game does not tend to ex-
pose the players to too great likelf-
hood of injury The question, what
are the sources of danger to the play
er in the present game?" was
threshed out with view of laying the
ground work for changes. All agreed
that if football be preserved some
elements of danger must be eliminat-
ed.

broken, another broke his collar bone
and the leader sustained a broken
