DEMOCRATS MAY ARB1TRATE
REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES

Washington, April 24.-Democrats
of the senate may be called upon to
arbitrate the differences between the
Republican regulars" and progress
sives" over the question of committee
assignments.
This unprecedented situation was
predicted following the adjournment
Saturday night of meeting of the
Republican committee on committees
at which the demands of the progress
sives for the right to dictate one-fourth
of the Republican members on all
committees was again denied.
Vote Is Split.
The progressives did not ask for a
formal recognition, but this made no
difference in the vote of Z to 4, by
which their original demands were de-
feated.
1t was said the progressives would
appeal to the senate from the assign
ments of the committee on commit
tees, and in this way the Democrats
will be called in to settle the difficulty.
Neither Of the Republican factions
is disposed to shirk the responsibility
OF the situation. If the dispute gets
into the hands of Democratic senators.
it is predicted the result may be far
more consequential.
Hard to ForeteIl.
The snarl would be such that no
one could forecast the legislative re-
suits of the session.
just what action the Democrats
would take as arbitrator is specula.

1T this meeting a resolution adopt

and Senator Gallinger, as chairman OF
the committee, was instructed to bring
IN tentative list of assignments. But
this action was not taken without on
position from the progressives. who
insisted on their right to designate
their representatives on committees.

ed the Los Angeles Times. with the

lance of armed guards. John J. Me-
Namara, international secretary of the
International Structural Iron Workers
Association, and his two alleged con-
federates, James Mcnamara and 0rtie
MECHANICAL, are being rushed to this
city to answer to the charge Of having
dynamited the Los Angeles Times, Oct
ober 1, 1910. causing the death of
twenty-one men. BY what routes they
are being brought here is secret.
When they will arrive is also unknown.
Take No Chances.
The police here, and William ]
Burns, the detective, who says he has
laid bare a widespread conspiracy OF
destruction. are taking no chances.
Elaborate precautions were made to
prevent an attempt at rescuing the
accused trio.
Secrecy also is regarded as neces-
sary to avoid legal complications. At
the Labor Temple, the Los Angeles
union labor headquarters, there were
bitter denunciations Of the way in
which the Mcnamara brothers and
McManigal had been taken into GUS
tody. but these came only from the
rank and file of union members. None
of the labor leaders could be found,
and it was said that several Of them
were in conference with James 3. Tim
mons. general organizer Of the Iron
Workers Association, to devise plans
to obtain for the prisoners here the
rights and constitutional privileges
which It is declared were denied them
when the Burns men swooped down
upon them in Detroit and Indianapolis
and held them incommunicado.
Compared With Idaho.
Comparison with the case Of Meyer,
Haywood and Pettibone, the union
men who were spirited away from Col
orado to answer to the charge Of hav-
ing caused the death Of Gov Steunen-
berg in Idaho several years ago, were
frequent. Every man at the Labor
Temple agreed that the arrest Of the
ironworkers' official and his two al
legged accomplices had brought to a
climax the long battle waged between
the unions and their opponents in Los
Angeles. and though preparations adj
n1ittedly were being made for the de-
Tense Of the prisoners. it was main
tanned that no tochnicalities would be
interposed to prevent an early trial.

.POTLACH PREPARATIONS
TAKING Definite FORM

Seattle, April 24.-Every resident OF
Seattle will be Eat home" during the
week of July 1872, for the purpose of
helping to entertain the swarm Of Wis
itors which is expected here at that
time to take part in the Golden Pot
latch.
Preparations for this week of
merry-making and entertainment are
now rapidly taking on definite shape
although the program is still far from
complete. New details are being de-
cided upon almost every day and it
can already be seen that. the enter
tainment planned for the visitors and
the citizens as well will be of an even
more elaborate character than was
first intended.
Naturally the officers of the Seattle
Carnival Association are now direct
ing their principal efforts to the primal
necessity of funds and money is al
ready beginning to flow into the treas
ury in a most satisfactory manner.
The method of raising the 100000
which will be spent by the associa-
ton upon the Potlatch is decidedly diff
ferent from that usually adopted by
the promoters of such affairs.
There are no assessments of bust
ness houses, hotels. and restaurants.
The railroads have been asked to give
nothing more than reduced rates.
There are no subscription lists through
which public-spirited citizens may con-
tribute according to their means or
inclinations. The highest, lowest and
universal contribution is one dollar.
For the dollar the contributor re-
ceives souvenir button in the form
of a gold nugget as certificate of his
membership in the carnival associa-
ton and as q badge of his patriotism.
These buttons are numbered consecu-
lively from to 100000. and are being
sold almost as rapidly as they are re
ceived from the manufacturers.
The program committee is busily en-
gagged in arranging the scope of the
entertainment and although this is
still in q rather tentative form
enough has been accomplished to
show that the week will afford more
In the way of variety of entertain
ment than any similar week ever of
fered the public free Of charge.
The entertainment will swing all the
way across the realm Of possibility
from flying machines soaring above
the harbor to Indian war canoes rae
