SLIDING SCALE FAVORED
Senate Committee Hearing Remarks For

on Measure.
SLIDING SCALE FAVORED

Washington, May IL The Demo-
cratic caucus will decide whether free
raw wool will he put on the free list,
and present indications are that as
schedule *" is brought into the House
there win be tax on raw wool As
the situation stood yesterday the com
mittee on ways and means is divided
on the proposition seven TO seven. With
a deadlock in committee it viii be
necessary to put the proposition up TO
the caucus Under the caucus rules
adopted by the Democrats it would be
necessary for the free,traders to com
mand a two-thirds vote to bind the
caucus Six weeks ago it would have
been easy to get a two-thirds vote for
free wool, but the effective proselyting
which has been done by Chairman I'm
derwood has changed many votes. 1t
is believed probable, therefore, that Mr..
Underwood has chance TO win in the
caucus If free wool is seen to be out
of the question the men who want free
trade win fight for the sliding scale
and on this they will have better
chance of success
Reports that William J BRYAN has
gone over to the Underwood forces were.
vigorously denied yesterday by MEM
bers Of the House, who have been in
communication with Mr. Bryan. These
men say Bryan his written a strong
editorial for this weeks Commoner in
which he will insist that the Democrats
remain consistent and vote for free raw
wool.

Seven Ballots Fail to Land
Him
PRESIDENT PRO TEMP0RE
Pogressives Vote for Senator Clapp
While Democrats Vote for Bacon
Latter Has Most Votes
On First Ballot.

Washington, May l2.-The incapacity
of the Republican party in the Senate
to control caucus ediet was demon
strated yesterday in the Senate, when
after more than two hours Of effort and
as a result of seven ballots, the Sem
ate failed to elect Senator Gallinger Of
New Hampshire as president pro tempore
to succeed Senator Frye of Maine. Five
progressiyes voted against and three
were paired against Mr.. Gallinger
In the absence of Vice President Sher-
man, Senator Lodge, assumed the chair.
Senator Cullom placed Senator Gallinger
in nomination and the nomination of
Senator Bacon of Georgia and of SEN
ator Clapp followed.
On the first ballot it was apparent
that when the progressives did not cast
their votes against Mr., Gallinger, they
were so paired as to render effective the
votes of the absentees
Senator Borah said it was his desire
to vote for Gallinger, but owing to a
pair with Senator Works, who was I'M
friendly to Gallinger he could not do so.
Mr., Dixon was paired with Mr. Cum
mngs and Mr. Kenyon with Mr.. Bourne.
The first ballot totalled 70 votes, OF
which Mr.. Bacon, the Democratic eandi-
date received 30; Mr. Gallinger the Re
publican candidate 80; and Mr.. CIapp
A; while Mr.. Bacon voted for Mr. Till
man and Mr.. Clapp for Mr. Bristow.
Messrs. Bristow, LaFollette, Gronno
and Poindexter, voted for Clapp. Messrs.
Cummins. Bourne, Works and Crawford,
progressives, were all absent, but paired
for Senator Clapp except Mr. Crawford,
who was i'll. All the Democratic votes
were cast for Mr. Bacon. Necessary to
choice 37
The only change on the second bal
lot was that Senator Gallinger, who had
RETAINED from voting on the previous
roll call, voted for Mr.. Lodge, increas-
ing the total vote to "a, and making 3s
necessary to elect. The figures for each
candidate were unchanged throughout
the voting until on the last ballot SEN
ator Bailey retired from the chamber,
thus reducing the vote by his own bal
lot md that of Senator Taylor of Ten
nessee, who was paired with him
One Of the many points of order was
raised by Mr.. Root, who contended that
under the rules all senators are required
to vote when their names are called,
despite having paired Mr. Bailey re-
piled that custom had rendered pairing
equivalent to a rule and that he would
rather be expelled from the Senate than
obey an order to break a pair.
After the fifth ballot. Senator Cullom
sought adjournment until Monday, but
his motion was voted down, IS to 43,
Democrats and progressiyes voting in the
negative. But after two more roll calls.
Mr. LaFolette's similar motion prevailed
without division, it becoming apparent
that all balloting must be Intellectual.

ASK FOR INVESTIGATION.
Dividend Reduction Interests Massachu-
sets House.

Boston, May l2.--Information regard
ing the reduction Of the dividend of Bos-
ton & Maine common stock from six
to four per cent. basis was request
ed of the railroad commission yesterday
by the lower branch of the legislature.
The order making the inquiry was in.
PRODUCED Wednesday by Representative
Haynes Of Medford and adopted yester-
day by vote of SO to 81.
The dividend reduction was announced
on Tuesday and Boston & Maine dropped
rapidly in price the next day.
Before the passage of the order. Chair
man r. NJ. Washbmn of the House com.
mittee on railroads received letter
from w. H. Coolidge, counsel for the
Boston & Maine, stating that the di-
rectors welcomed any investigation of
the reduction of the dividend rate.
Mr. Coolidge submitted some data
bearing on the matter which contained
the statement that the corporation had
expended Sl6,O00,00O in improvements
during the past three years. and that
while the operating revenue for the nine
months, ending March 81, 1911. was ST.
025.ll5 in excess of the corresponding
period last year. the expenses were 81
797 POS over those of 1910. The net cor
porate income declined sl,979,367 in the
same period.
Mr.. Coolidge declared that the diff
ference could only be made up in three
ways. first. by an increase in rates,
which so far has been refused by the
interstate commerce commission; second.
by a reduction. OF wages. which now
show an increase of S2,7oo,000 over last
year; and third, by the method adopted
of making one party interested. the
stockholder, suffer for the falling off.

pressed by President.

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, May II.
"A proclamation dated Granada, capital
OF the department Of the same name on
the northwest shore of Lake Nicaragua
published here, announces that Juan Es-
trada, after resignihg the presidency of
Nicaragua to Vice President Adolfo Diaz
tried to embark Mt Corinto on board
southbomd steamer Tuesday night. The
president was accompanied by General
Moncado, the Nicaraguan minister of the
interior Telegraphic communication be-
tween this city and the capital, Man,
aqua, is cut. Earlier advices received
from Granada indicated that a crisis had
been reached in the long -existing ill.,
feeling between President Estrada and
his minister of war, General Luis Mena.
1t was reported that the president Aad
imprisoned the war minister, but later
had been forced to release Mena and
temporarily withdraw from the presi-
dency. The constitutional assembly of
Granada, according to the proclama-
ton, win discuss the legality of the
presidency Of Adolfo Diaz, who was
designated as his successor by Estrada,
and probably will elect General Mena
to succeed Estrada.
Despite the trouble which has been i'm
pending news that the revolutionary
leader and newly-named president ac-

clear sky. There seems little doubt that
Mena is slated for the presidency

the American loan. Several days since
the national assembly gave Estrada au-

debts build railroads and establish
gold standard The loan was to be guar
anteed by pledging half the customs

popularity with the masses, but the pol
iticians have found much fault with his

A REVERSAL.

A fair haired, blue eyed young officer
of the United States army knelt in a
narrow canyon in the far west. Before
him was an improvised fort about the
size of those made by boys out Of
snow, though Lieutenant Osborne's
redoubt was composed of loose stones
gathered from the dry bed Of creek
in which 1t was located. In its center
an opening had been left, through
which protruded the muzzle Of the
officers rife, the butt of which rested
against his shoulder.
There was no sound save the rustic
OF the leaves of the trees, no motion
save a slight swaying of the branches
and the hopping about of chipmunk
which finally stopped on limb, sat
upon its launches, looked at Osborne
out of the side Of its head with one of
its bright little eyes and seemed to
say:
What are you doing there|
This was what the lieutenant was
doing there: He was one of the garri-
son of fort not many miles distant.
Rosa Hammond. who had been visit
ing her married sister, had that day
left the fort to return to the east. Os-
borne had the evening before offered
her his heart and hand Not being GER
tain of her feelings for him-she was
conscientious girl-she had taken the
benefit of the doubt and refused him.
Her refusal did not make any differ
ence in her lovers feelings for her.
He had his doubts as to the safety Of
her journey to the railroad terminal
Rumors were current that Indians
whom the garrison was intended to
keep in order were meditating rebel
Hon. Rebellion meant murder and
scalps. The colonel commanding pooh
poohed. Nevertheless on the morning
of Miss Hammonds departure Osborne
arose long before reveille, took his RI
fie and belt of ammunition, mounted
his horse and started alone to act as
q skirnish line over the route the girl
he loved would pass. She was to trav-
el In an ambulance with an escort of
start at 8 o'clock In the morning.
Osborne had ridden over the route
Miss Hammond was to travel along a
ridge looking down on to the plains.
Not caring to put too great a distance
between himself and the ambulance, he
turned to ride back when below on
the open ground he saw band Of not
less than fifty warriors huddled to-
gether looking up at the ridge on
which he stood. but at point between
him and the fort. With the quick In
stinct OF one used to such life, he in
ferred at once that they were looking
at the ambulance containing what was
dearer to him than HIS life.
Osborne was peertng through foliage
and consequently invisible to the In
dianE. AS he looked they dashed of.
