Re0. 4Aked Is Disappointed
 With "Rockefeller's' Church

New York, March 5.AFrankly stating the disappointment he had experienced in his ministry to the wealthy congregation of the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, the Rev. Charles F. Aked, formally an- 'nounced from his pulpit today that he had received unanimous and enthusias- tic call to the First Congregational church of San Francisco. and said he had been unable to find any good reason why he should not accept.
 He regretfully acknowledged his fears that tho great enterprises which he had hoped to lead as pastor of one of the wealthiest churches in America, popular ly known as John D. Rockefellers s church. were only such stuff as dreams are made of" Notwithstanding the Sl0,- eco salary offered him when he came here from Pembroke chapel, in Liverpool, England barely four years ago, and the recent increase 10 s12,eo0, or his ties of friendship in the metropolis, he did not see how he could contemplate perma- nent ministry here under present eondt- lions, He chafed under the failure of the church to provide larger edifice and to undertake larger enterprises. 50 far as we can see today he declared, there is no future over this church or my min istry'

ership. he may be to say that he con- tributed to 1t.
 Mr. Sheehan's statement says:
 q regret to see that the democratic government of the state has yielded to the solicitations of the small minority of the party who for weeks have been ob- structing the election of the regularly chosen candidate of the party for United States senator.
 That my position may not be misun- derstood. I now repeat what l said in my letter of February 2S, addressed to the democratic legislature:
 shall remain as my party's candi- date for United States senator as long as the party desires me to do so, no mat ter what the personal consequences to me may be. Nor will l. by word or deed, do anything that will justify the minority in their efforts to frustrate the declared will of the majority. If, however. the majority of all the elected democratic senators and assemblymen shall sign a call requesting that the democratic eau GUS be reassembled, I shall loyally abide by the decision of that caucus, and if such caucus shall decide that another than myself be chosen to carry the party standard which l have been carrying since January 16, 1911. will give to such candidate my unqualified and whole hearted support, but short of such action shall not be party to the destruction of the principle of majority rule'"

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE WILL NOT
 BE CONFINED TO RECIPROCITY

Washington, March 5.-(Specal) )-Any idea on the part of the President or the administrati tions supporters that the dem ocratie House which meets April will confine itself to Canadian reciprocity, for which purpose the President calls the ex- tra session, will be rudely dspelled. The democrats will take possession of the House just as if they controlled the Sem ate and the presidency. Instead of fol- lowing the course of Speaker Reed and Speaker Cannon, who appointed only the ways and means and a few other com
 mittees necessary for the transaction of the routing work of the House, the dem- ocrats will name all of the House com mttees and proceed to cond st the busi- ness of the House in the ss manner as if the approaching sessiop as regular session. This course wasfuecided upon to- day at a conference of the democratic leaders at the capitol. 1t was recalled that when the extra sessions called to frame the Dinglcy and Payne bills were held only few of the committees were

Washington, March 5-(Special)-Ihe Senate of the United States has not got rid of the question of direct election of senators.
 When it voted down the other day the resolution for the direct election Of sen ators it was hardly believed then by most of the senators that the matter would be brought up again in five or six weeks Now that President Taft has called an extra session there is every indication that the direct election of senators Will be crowded to the front again at the first opportunity Senate insurgent repubii- cans say they will use every opportunity to force the question once more to an issue They hope to get the resolution for direct elections adopted at the com- ing extra session.
 If the advocates or constitutional amendment of the direct election of seh- ators succeed in putting the resolution or the submission of it through Con gress at the extra session they would feel we'll repaid for coming back to Washington and spending several months

New York, March 5.-After consultation with his Tammany supporters, William F.. Sheehan issued a statement today in which he accuses Governor Dix of yield ing to those who have been ''o5- struoting the election of the regularly chosen candidate of the party for United States senator" and says he will not withdraw as the democratic caucus nomi- nee.
 Charles r. Murphy. the Tammany lead CT, said MT. Sheehan's statement spoke for itself He would not add to it.
 The general belief of Iammany leaders is that Sheehan will still hold 7S votes when the full effect of Governor Dix's let ter has made itself felt.
 Friends of Martin W. Littleton pointed today to the real significance of MT. Lit tleton's recent self-announced candidacy. They say MT. Littleton realized fully that as matters now stand no United States senator to represent the state of New York can be elected without the support of Murphy and Tammany Hall, and that therefore, in his open letter, having antagonized MT. Murphy, he does not expect his support, and consequently does not expect to be elected senator. What he does expect, they say, in the event of a revolt against Murphy's lead

H|LLES WILL bE ! TAFT'S SECRETARY

Washington, March 5.--Official an vas Iaads today that Charles D. Hilles, assistant secretary of the treas ury, is to succeed Charles D. Norton as secretary to the President on April A. The announcement came from the White House and was made public at a lunch con given in honor of MT. Hilles by Mr Norton at the latter's home. President Taft stopped in at the reception which followed the luncheon.
 MT. Norton on April will become vice president of the First National bank of New York.
 From the moment it became known that MT. Norton was to retire from the secretaryship at the White House the report had been current that MT. Hiles, if he could be induced to do so, would be the new secretary. Several months ago, however, MT. Hilles had made ar rangements to retire from public life and had entered into a partnership agreement with Edmund Dwight of New York to act as general agent for an assurance company of London.
 When President Taft urged MT. Hilles to accept the office of secretary this part nership agreement stood in the way.
 MT. fIilles said he was definitely com mtted and saw no way out of 1t. Va rious leaders of the republican party brought their influence to bear on Mir. Hles to accept the post at the White House.
 Matters were at standstill, however until President Taft sent for MT. Dwight explained the situation to him and se- cured his consent to tine dissolution of the partnership agreement. This left Mir Hiles free to accept and the formal an- nouncement followed today.

 To the admonitions that he should have patience for the evolution of the great things. Dr. Aked replied that such an at titude calls for 'the highest type of en- thusiasm, the enthusiasm which illumes detail and makes drugery divine. Does such spirit exist in our church?" he asked.

M'CURDY'S RECORD
 BROKEN BY bAGUE

Nice.s France, March 5,--Lieut ena,nt s.asue aeconlprssheu a daffiig fea to- day by flyins over the Mediterranean from Antibts to the little island Cor -'na, off the Italian coast He covered
 stance of more than 200 kilometers thni'e ], establishing new record
 for oyef-sea flight. This he did with
 out the assistance of tugs, torpedo
 boats or any other craft to guide him
 or add to his confidence by their pres
 ence.
 Lieutenant Bague started at 5:30
 o'clock this morning in Bleriot mon oplane. with the intention of landing on Corsica and proceeding thence by
 way of Sardirfa. and Sicily, to Tunis, to visit the colonel of the Fourth AL
 gerian Rifles, from which regiment he resigned to devote himself to avia-
 tion.
 In the presence of few spectators the aviator left the ground, rising at once to considerable height He shaped his course southward and soon vanished. Aided by a strong wind, his progress was rapid and dispatch finally was received here saying that he had arrived at Gorgona. This island lies between corsica and IeghOrn. II is small wooded rock about two miles long, ging to Italy. Bague land ed there at 1 o'clock in the afternoon
 the descent being made awkwardly and with great danger to the aviator on account of the trees and rocks. The
 monoplane struck heavily and was bad ly damaged but Bague was not hurt
 It had been his intention to land at Ajaccio. on the west coast of Corsica. but losing his way, the aviator shaped his course to the far north As 1t was, he covered a greater distance over
 the water than if he had carried out his original plans.
 Bague's over-sea flight breaks the previous record held by J.. A. D. Mo- Curdy, who on January 30, last, flew from Key West to within 10 miles
 of the Cuban shore. a distance of 91 miles. Glenn H. Curtiss last August made a flight over Lake Erie of 64
 miles while other aviators have done 50 l or more on several occasions

THINK PATERNOIS
 FE|GN|NG INSANITY

Rome, March 5.--Baron Vincenzo Pater- no. who will have to stand trial for the murder of Princess Trigona al Sant Ella, has been acting strangely for the last "A hours. The attending physicians give it as their opinion, however that he is fegning insanity. At times he has been sane enough. but when mterrogated pre- question is one having connection with the crime. Now and then he mutters as though in a delrium. Occasionally he exclaims: "The knife! The knife, I must capture it! She has taken 1t. She has wounded herself.' This seems to be Pa terno's fixed formula, varied with other exclamatons. such as "Blood, Helpi' According to the physicians Paterno has had his own defense in mind and doubt less will declare that Princess Trlgona committed suicide. The authorities con sider such statement absurd in view of the fact that the princess, in addition to having q stab wound in her neck. had a wound in the back which In itself would have proved fatal.
 The body of the murdered princess ar rived at Palermo today. Great crowds lined the street and displayed the utmost sympathy.
 1t is probable that an operation will be performed on Paterno tomorrow. His physical condition is improving steadily and he is believed now to be entirely out of danger from his wound, The people gre loud in their denunciation of the man because of the martyrdom he is all legged to have made his victim suffer be- fore the murder

IS NOT RID OF THE
 POPULAR ELECTION BILL

here during an extraordinary gathering of the Senate and House. The resolution was beaten in the Senate in the closing days of this session by only narrow margin. It was four votes short of get ting the necessary two-thirds.
 The new Senate will have nearly as many democrats as republicans. The number of democratic senators will be nine or ten more than in the Senate Of the session just closed. With this added number of democrats the supporters of direct election of senators are hopeful, even confident, they are going to win out.
 Speaker Designate Champ Clark leaves tomorrow afternoon for Philadelphia, where he delivers lecture. He will spend the week in Pennsylvania and next week will be in Ohio and Indiana for one night stands, returning to Washing ton a week before Congress convenes.
 Representative-elect Blackman of Ala bama. who has been here for several days getting acquainted with Congress. left for home today. With the exception of Representative Underwood the mem- bers of the Alabama delegation will pay brief visits to their homes before the ses- sion starts April 4.

appointed, it being thought desirable by the House leaders to confine the work to the tariff to the exclusion of every other subject. This course resulted in much democratic criticism, and in line with it is the intention of the committee of 14' to name all the House committees and set them to work.
 Chairman Underwood and his colleagues expect to be able to agree upon the com mittees in about three weeks, and for ap- proval they will be submitted to the democratic caucus which meets the Sat- Lrday before the House convenes.
 Most Of the chairmanships will be given according tc. seniority and have here tofore been announced. There are half a dozen single places, including the ap- propriations, interstate and foreign com merce, postoffice and rivers and harbors chairmanships, which have not been act ed upon, but no difficulty is expected after a few votes in committee have been taken. Other than the tariff programme little discussion Is going on relative to legislative work. The 4S3 census bill is expected to be passed at an early date. and favorable action is hoped for in the Senate.

 Aeronautical Engineer Simmons states that owing to unfavorable winds the trip would require approximately five hours. When the afternoon arrived and the bird men failed to come there was great dis appointment among the waiting specta- tors who had increased in numbers hourly.
 The aviation squad attributed the non appearance to a probable landing at some ranch for dinner and a wait for favor eble wind.
 Late in the evening the crowds thinned down until the anxious newspaper men and new corps were the only occupants of the camI.
 The uneasiness was not confined to Laredo, as numerous telegrams were re- oeived from army officers and others from Eagle Pass indicating their anxiety over rot receiving a report of the arrival of the b1plane.
 At e:30 tonight telephone message was received from Minera. Tex, a coal min ing town 25 miles up the river. stating that the aeroplane had met with mis- hap 12 miles south of Eagle Pass and that the aviators had to land in the river ped but were safe and would return with their machine tomorrow morning.
 No details are available, but the under standing is that the damage to the aero- plane was not serious.
