C0DD GOT MANY PLUMBERS. .
Friends Cut Other Candidates r
Boost His Vote.

One of the stories that have fol-
lowed In the wake Of the primary has
to do with the way George p. Codd' S
friends choked OF the opposition that
had been threatened by the MacKay-
Barnett combination to even up for
the way the Oakman crowd, which, Of
course, was out strong for Codd and
Auditor Buhrer, ran things at the Re-
publican county convention the other
day. The MacKay faction, Il is said,
made the boast that Codd would lose
1000 votes through It's influence.
"All right, 60 ahead" said Colds
friends. We'll take 1000 votes away
from Donovan"
Judge Donovan was one of the men
particularly friendly to the MacKay
following, and ,he latter were glad to
make terms with the Codd supporters.
In the primary each side attended to
its own knitting and both candidates
were nominated.
Colds remarkable showing Is ex-
planned, In part, by the fact that his
percentage OF bumpers" was very
large. A ''plumper," be It known, is
q vote for one candidate Alone when
there are several to be voted for.
Every one OF .hese bumpers" was
equal to six votes for Codd, for Il OBJ
Grated as a debit against each OF the
candidates for the other five places.
The result also shows that William
8. Dever has lost none OF his ability
as an organizer.

WASHINGTON. March 2.-That
Senators w. p. Hepburn (Repn. Ida
ho), and Thomas s. Carter (Repn.
Mont.), have secured the adoption by
the senate OF "jokers" in the agricul-
tural appropriation bill, now in con-
ference. which will result In the
abrogation of the forest policy II fin
ally enacted, was the sensational
charge sprung by Clifford Pinchot.
former chief forester, In a speech be-
fore the National Lumber Dealers as
ISOLATION here today.
The Hepburn amendment" Pinchot
asserted. provides that all land upon
which there is growing less than 1000
feet Of merchantable timber. In con-
tiguous areas of 160 acres, shall be
excluded from the national forests.
This provision would practically
put an end to the use Of the national
forests by the western people. II
would prevent the practice of fores-
try. There 10 no form OF use which il
would not seriously hinder or com
pletely destroy.
1T was supported by arguments so
false az to be ridiculous and was
obviously intended to destroy the ma
tional forest system, which II will do
IL II becomes law.
Another amendment. this time in
the interest Of fraudulent mining
claimants, was introduced by Senator
Carter and also adopted. Ii prohibits
the forest service from interfering
with fraudulent claimants except when
their claims include merchantable
timber, which most claims do not In
other words, Carter Is acting with
Hepburn to break up the n
ests and to injure the conservation in.
terests of the western people.
These are examples OF the way in
which legislation hostile to the public
welfare 10 secured In the rush OF q
closing days OF congress.
In conclusion. Pinchot earnestly ap
pealed to his auditors to bring pres
sure on the conferees on the
defeat the "jokers."

EXPERTS AT "FLOPPING'
Former Joins Reactionaries On For

to Progressives' Side. ~

: ~
WASHINGTON, Mar. 2.-Senator
William Alden Smith startled num-
Der OF his colleagues in the senate
late at last nights session, when he
joined 10 reactionary members of
both parties In support of the Hey
burn amendment to the forest service
appropriation bill
The amendment provided for the
reduction OF the appropriation from
s5.500.000 to an approximate amount
required for a number OF years to
administer the two hundred million
acres OF national forests, to $1,000
900. The amendment would have
meant of course, the abandonment Of
the forest conservation policy to
which Roosevelt, Pinchot and Graves
have given many years to build up,
and naturally II was defeated by the
overwhelming vote of 80 to 10.
Besides Senator Smith, Senator
Hepburn was supported by practical
Iy all of the reactionary leaders, in
GLIDING Penrose, of Pennsylvania;
Bailey, Of Texas: Gallinger, of New
Hampshire, and Clark, OF Wyoming
Senator Smiths vote was not explain
ed to his friends, last night, but this
morning he said that his purpose was
merely to send the bill to conference,
to obtain a reduction and not to kill
the work OF forest preservation.
Heretofore, he has given the bureau
his ardent support.
The funny thing about last nights
vote was that Senator Burrows broke
away from the "Old guard perhaps
to Offset his support OF Lorimer, and
joined LaFollette, Bristow, Chamber
lain, Beveridge and other progressive
Republicans and Democrats In de-
feating the measure. PULLMAN.

Their Claims Cut and Shaved
Down Without Conscience

Milwaukee. Wis. August o3-Impor-
tant legislation for the control of in
surance companies doing Industrial.
health and accident business is pro-
posed IN the report Of the special com
mittee of the insurance commissioners
OF the United States. which was made
public at the session of the convention
here to-day. The basis for the legis-
lation proposed IS given in the reports
OF the examination of fourteen com
panies. in which nearly 1000 settle
ments effected by these companies are
examined
In discussing the settlement of these
claims the report says:
cot the specific Claims examined,
where the amount involved Is usually
considerable. the percentage of scaled
or rejected claims is high-very much
too high to be explained by error Of
Judgment or carelessness. Indeed the
committee feels warranted In conclud
Ing that when dealing with companies
doing an industrial health or acct
dent business the policyholder-par-
ticularly those who. through ignorance
or poverty, are unable to protect
themselves, and therefore are pecu-
liarly the wards of government as
represented In this convention-has
