MAKE LAME DEFENSE.

Boiling Members Of the House Try to
Justify Their Course In Not
Taking the Oath.
Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. 5.-The
regulars who have declined to join
in the organization of the House to-
day published q lengthy address CIV
ing reasons for their action. IT, In
substance says that they object to
contests intended by the fusionists.
The gist Of the complaint IL in the
following paragraph:
III the two houses be organized &C.
cording to the certificates Of the re-
turns and what is understood TO be
the result Of the election in Nov en-
Der on joint ballot, If every Republi-
can and every ally voted alike, still
the combination would have q bare
majority Of one vote. But 1t ap-
pears that there are some Republi-
cans and independents who are not
likely to vote in joint convention as
party leaders may command. For this
reason the leaders of the combina-
ton appear to have resolved to make
a safe and certain majority. Accord
ingly they prepared to contest, and &C
tually did file great number of con-
tests against Democratic Representa-
tives. This being the situation and
the program, we declined to appear
and be sworn in, and purposed to pre-
vent organization until these political
buccaneers would assure US TINT these
defenseless or machine contests
should De abandoned. We stood out
and stayed out and our action was ap
proved by the Democrats in the Sem
ate"

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Jan 5.-Thos.
B. Johnson makes statement today
that no agreement was made with the
regulars as to the organization Of the
House. There was he said no agree
ment, but certain regulars made a
proposition to Speaker Leach. which
he reported to the fusionist authori-
ties.
He says: THE action which was
taken on this proposition by the fu-
sionists was In substance that as the
members of the House they could not
agree to anything with regard to
these contests, but that In response
to this proposition they would recon-
mend to the attorneys representing
these contests that all contests In the
House be dismissed in consideration
of the fact that all contests in the
Senate be similarly dismissed"

HARVARD ELMS.

Insects Compel tho Destruction Of
Many Old Trees.
Workmen have begun to uproot the
first of Eve great elms in the Harvard
college yard which are to come down.
Walter s. Burke. superintendent Of
grounds and buildings at Harvard, be-
lieves that still other trees will have to
come down during the summer. After
undergoing the ravages Of the elm leaf
beetle and the leopard moth the elms
are now yielding to m insect known as
the elm bark borer. This insect Is not
under control. and its ravages are said
to be serious.
1t Is doubtful If any of the elms in
the yard, most Of which are upward Of
fifty years old, can be saved, and 1t Is
probable that all of them will have to
be uprooted in the next few years
Against such a contingency the college
has ordered $50 red oak saplings, one
Of which will be planted whenever an
elm comes down.

FOR A GOOD ROADS FUND.

Senator Simmons Of North Carolina
is sponsor of a new bill in congress
that would authorize collection of a
$40 license annually for all automo
biles engaged in interstate travel or
traffic. The revenue thus raised he
would have go into q fund for the
Improvement of old roads and the
building and maintenance of new ones.
The enterprise would be independent
of the licenses imposed and the work
undertaken by the states, but there
would be q possibility OF effective co.
operation, and appropriations would
probably be determined by the amount
of travel over the respective highways.
Senator Simmons says that there
are now half a million automobiles in
use throughout the country, and he
estimates that at least a fifth of these
travel from one state to another. I'm
der the terms of his bill this would
mean a fund of a million dollars to
start with, and he contends that i'm
provement Of the thoroughfares which
they used would be increased rapidly
as soon as touring parties feel assured
of finding satisfactory roads.
The plan Is bound to receive a lot
of favorable consideration, and it
seems that the most enthusiastic sup
port should come from those whom it
is proposed to lax. The average
motor owner can easily figure that he
could afford to pay the sum stated,
and then be ahaed of the game through
the saving on repair bills. The auto.

ways for any method of travel.
The raising of this interstate feature
is q new factor in the good roads
movement, but 1t has immense posi-.
bilities OF good effect. The partner.
ship of the government would hasten
cooperation of the separate commun.
tiles, and In the long run 1t would do
much to realize the economic saving
demonstrated as possible whenever
statistics are given out on the expense
of traction.-Anaconda Standard.
