Pending Legislation Cannot
Interfere, Is Secre-
tary's View.

Reports of Investigations made by
the bureaus of the Department of Com
merce and Labor will not be withheld
because legislation on the subjects in
yestigated is pending before State or
other lawmaking bodies, Secretary
Nagel announced today, in making pub
lie his reply to letter from members
of the Illinois Manufacturers Associa-
ton protesting against the publication

The press, by the use of the advance
release copies Of reports of the depart

day they are issued from the Govern
ment Printing Office, the Secretary ad-
vised the association. What legislation
Is pending or contemplated the depart
ment does not take into account
Rather, Secretary Nagel holds, the de-
partment, If II regarded pending legis-
latton, would assume that the legislators
and others interested would be glad to

BRYAN CONFERRING
WITHLEADERSHERE
Visit Expected Mature Progressves Plan for Fight on
Bailey-Nebraskan Has Little to Say
on Mexican Affair.

William Jennings Bryan is in Wash
ingtOn today comforting with leaders o
the progressive Democrats.
His visit will develop, it is expected
the full plans for maintaining the pro
gressives in control of the Legislative
program, aud for counteIacting the in
tiuence of the Bailey Democrats" a!
they are now generally called.
The fight for control of the Democratic
party, between the elements headed By
Bryan and Bailey, is declared by tho
progressives to be fast growing into q
fight for life on Mr.. Baileys part.
The proFressives declare that Bryan
and Hearst are with them, heart and
soul. in the effort to eliminate Bailey
from detcrminative influence in party
councils. Concerning this feature of the
situation Senator Owen of Oklahoma,
who has suddenly sprung into practical
leadership of the anti Bailey clement
talked with the three-time Presidential
candidate at length.
Bailey has been the most bitter ard
relentless antagonist of Bryan since
1903. He was not for Bryans nomina-
tion, and did not attend the convention,
though there were limitations that he
could have been chairman of the reSolu-
tons committee If he had cared TO
come into camp and be good He has
been uninterruptCdly hostile ever since.
Obstacles in Road.
The Bailey conservatives and Tam
many influences are looked upon as the
obstacles TO complete control by the
progressives. Bailey's leadership is op-
posed with hardly more earnestness
than is the candidacy of John ]. Fitz-
gerald, Tammanyite, for chairman OF
tie Appropriations Committee.
Beyond this lies the House commit
tees composition. The same forces,
Which oppose Bailey and FitZgeral Id, OU-

willing TO extend 1t. During the after
noon Mr., Bryan held a conference with
Representative James and Senator
owen.
Protests Lodged.
As published in The Times several
days ago, both Bryan and Hearst have
lodged protests against the Fitzgerald
appointment The tentative selection of
Representative Adamson of Georgia, a s
the head of the Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, is also understood

POPULAR ELECTIONS BILL
LOSES BY A CLOSE MARGIN
Only Four More Votes Would Have Been Needed ir
Senate to Pass Bill

The Senate yesterday by vote of 81
to g defeated the resolution proposing
constitutional amendment for the popu-
lar election OF Senators. Southern
Democratic Senators are responsible for
the defeat of the resolution Led by Sen
ator Racon, of Georgia, they refused to
support the resolution with the Suther-
land amendment attached. whjcn retained
to the Federal government control over
popular elections in the States for Sen
ators.
The following Southern Democratic
Senators voted against the resolution
Bacon. Bankhead, FLETCHER, Foster, John
ston. Money, Percy, Taliaferro, and Till
man. The resolution only required four
more votes tc have been carried. A
change of two Southern Democrats to its
support, would have won the day. SEN
ator Frazier, of tennessee, was absent
and not paired. 1t was announced that
had he been present he would have voted
for the resolution Senator Lorfmer, oe
Illinois, voted against the resolution.
Senator Crawford rushed into the
chamber after the vote was taken and
announced that he had been delayed by
a tie-up OF the street cars Had he been
present be would have supported the res
oluti0n.

CONGRESSIONAL BRIEFS.

The credentials OF n. P. Bryan, the
new Senator from Florida, and Senator
| Bankhead, OF Alabama, whip has been re-
elected, were presented to the Senate.
Representative Tawney. of Minnesota,
the Appropriations Committee chairman
in the House of Representatives, tried to
pass the general deficiency bill by two
third vote under suspension OF the rules.
He failed by a good many votes.
A resolution providing for a joint com
mission of five Senators and five Repre-
sentatives to visit Alaska and invesu-
gate conditions there and report recon-
mendations for legislation to Congress
was introduced in the Senate by Senator
Piles. of Washington.
Senator S.orimer had several telegrams
read to the Senate for the purpose of COM
batting statements with reference to the
organization OF the Illinois house of rep
resentatives, which were read into the
Senate records yesterday by Senator
Crawford.
For the third time the House of Repre-
sentatives refused to accept the Senate
amendment to the Indian appropriation
bill, which would permit further attempts
by the firm of Butler & Vail, attorneys
for the ColviIle Indians, to secure an
additional fee for their work in prose-
the United States government.
f. Debate on the general deficiency bill
in the House of Representatives was
notable chiefly for the unanimity with
which the Maryland members assailed
the committee amendment proposing that
the government bond its own clerks in
the future. Baltimore, 1t may be said
in explanation, is the happy, happy home
of more bond and surety concerns than
any other city in the United States.
Senator Jonathan Bourne, who startled
the Senate Monday night by attacking
President Taft and former President
Roosevelt for the alleged use OF Federal
patronage to influence Senators and Rep
resentatives on legislation and to control
political conventions, announced that he
would introduce in the next Congress a
Federal corrupt practices act, subjecting
the President to impeachment for using
patronage for such purposes.
The bill to further increase the eff
cheney OF the organized militia, which is
known around the Capitol as the militia
pay BILL" was passed by the House of
Representatives strenuous fight was
made on it by the Democrats, under the
leadership of Representative Hay, of
Virginia, a member Of the Military AZ
fairs Committee, but the bill had strong
support and went through under the
wing of a special rule reported for its.
consideration.
