CONTEST IN SENATE
REACHING A CLIMAX

Washington, April 26.-The crisis in
the fight between regular and insur-
gent senator's ove places on the
standing committees Is expected to be
reached late today. Through Senator
La Toilette the insurgents have filed
their demands and the committee on
committees has taken the matter un-
der consideration.
The insurgents list has not been
rlade public, but 1t is known that, al
though Senator La Toilette was con-
coded by the regulars a place on the
finance committee, the insurgents IN
sisted that Senator Cummins also
should be named, and that the regulars
also were willing to give Senator La
Toilette a place on appropriations, but
that he demand instead a place on in
terstate commerce., of which Senator
Clapp is TO be chairman and Senator
Cummins a member; hat Senator
Bourne has been given the chairman
ship OF the postoffice committee and
Senator Bristow a place on the same
committee, but Senator Bourne de-
manded to go on appropriations also.
These places and the vacancies on
foreign relations, Judiciary privileges
and elections are making most of the
trouble. Senator Cummins is given
foreign relations by the regular slate,
but he wants judiciary instead.

. BY ORDER OF COURT
Kansas City Judges, Saying
Guilt Is In Doubt, Release Him
on Giving of Heavy Bond.

n Kansas City. Mo. April DR.. b.
K. Hyde, under a life sentence Of inn
Irisonrnent for the murder OF Colonel
Thomas H Swone. WAS released from
Che county Jail today on a writ OF
4habcas corpus granted by the seven
%judges Of the circuit court here. A new
Etrial had already been granted by the
4supreIne court.
IN the opinion of the court en- banc,
the majority of the evidence upon which
1.-THE physician was convicted was cir
8curnstantial, and there was a reason
kstble Of the prisoners guilt. The
k0pinion rendered this morning also
takes into consideration the fact that
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw. trial Judge,
had cnce admitted DIR. Hyde to bond.
EThis bono was revoked during the trial
of the murder case by Judge Latshaw
and HYDE committed TO the county
jail.
After the reading of tho decision the
bal Of DIR. Hyde WAS set at $50, 900,
(Which was Immediately furnished. Had
DIR. HYde's release Oeen deferred until
tomorrow the period OF his incarcera-
ton in Jail would have been exactly a
syear. RS it was on April q, 1910, dur
ing his trial, that Judge Latshaw re-
yokcd the physicians bona of $50, 600
and remanded him to the custody of
the county marshal. In it's opinion by
which the Hyde case was reversed. and
remanded for q new trial the supreme
court declared that Judge Latshaw was
in error in revoking the bond. In the
habeas corpus proceeding Dr. Hyde's
attorneys laid much stress upon that
part Of the supreme court opinion.

REPUBLICAN FIGHT
is WAKING BITTER

Washington, April 27.-The split in
the republican ranks which threatens
republican supremacy in the Senate
assumed grave proportions today when
the regular republicans fatty refused
to meet three demands of the progress
sives.
These demands were that Senator
La Toilette be given a place on the
committee on interstate
Bristow IN foreign relations and Cum
Minis on finance. Coupled with these
demands was the one that Mr.. Bourne
be appointed to the appropriations
committee which vas meeting.
The meeting was brief and reported
to have been somewhat acrimonious.
Senator Gallinger, chairman of the
committee, presented a complete list
of appointments to the various com
mittees. When it was discovered by
Mr.. LaFollette that only one of the
four final progressive claims had been
allowed he Immediately announced his
complete disapproval of the tentative
list.
Secretary Wilson said today there
would be the strongest kind of a protest
from the farmers and stockraisers of
the country against that part of the
democratic free list proposing to put
meats on the free list. He fears the
invasion OF outside meats.
There are two sides to the reci-
procity question" said Secretary VIII
son. but there is only one side to the
question of putting meats on the free
list. The free admission of the cheap
meats Of Australia, the Argentine. the
Caribbean country and elsewhere would
hurt our markets.
A bill for the the reapportionment OF
the House of Representatives. on the
basis Of 433 members was reported fay-
orably yesterday by Chairman Houston.

Washington, April 27.-The demo-
cratic free list bill. characterized by
the republicans as political soothing
syrup" was roughly handled in the
House yesterday afternoon by the re-
publican side.
Mr.. Underwood, democratic chairman
OF the ways ana means committee. iu-
troduced it in an hours speech shortly
after the session convened at noon.
Then it was left to the mercies Of Pep
resentatiye Mann, of Illinois, leader of
the republican side, M things Mr..
Mann said about it in the two hours
he held the floor gave both sides food
for much debate, comment n criti-
cism.
Mr.. Mann said the free list bill in
troduCed by the democrats as the first
of their tariff measures was drawn in
accurately, indefinitely and with such
general language that ii might he
stretched 10 include half Of the i'm
ports on which the United States now
collects tariff revenues
The free list bill puts agricultural i'm
plements of"any kin anddescription on
the free list" Mr.. Mann demanded TO
know what agricultural implements
would come under this provision. He
expressed the belief 1t could be
stretched to include the free entry Of
saws, axes, forks, garden hoes, hay
knives and almost everything else that
a farmer, horticulturist gardener or till
Ter OF the soil ever uses.
He said the bill was SO drawn that il
would admit free the leather from
which the farmers shoes were made,
but would exclude that from which his
wife's shoes were made. 1t put a prem
ium on foreign labor. he said, by per-
hitting these special kinds of leather
to come in free when they We're partly
made up.
In putting agricultural implements on
the free list, said Mr.. Mann. the demo-
Gratis would let the International Har-
vester company dump into the United
States the implements it made with
foreign labor in it's factories in France,
Germany, Russia and Canada.

DEBATE ON FREE
LIST BILL OPENS

LIST BILL OPENS
Washington, April 26.-The free list
Dill was taken. up in the House today
and for several days to come 1t will
hold the center of the legislature stage.
Chairman Underwood, of the ways and
means committee, in explaining the
proposed measure, said that it would
mean a reduction In government rev
by at least $4,000, 900 a year, but
declared this would &C mere TIC ne:
by government economies.
This free list bill is not offered as q
compensation to the farmer for prod
ucts of his that were put on the free
list in the reciprocity bill" said Mr.
Underwood, because we don't believe
the passage OF the reciprocity agree
ment will in any way affect the farm
ers' income.
lone OF the objects of this bill Is
20 remove from the protected list those
implements that the farmer uses In
producing his crops The other pur-
pose Is &c reduce the cost Of living 10
the masses by putting their food prod.
ucts on the free list"
Mr.. Underwood announced that this
was only the beginning of the demo.
cratic revision of the tariff.
I'VE propose to revise the tariff,
schedule by schedule" he said. THAT
rs, I'm our opinion, the only propef
way to handle the tariff question liz
congress. The democratic party does
not stand for the wiping out of the
custom houses: we realize that the ex.
penses OF government may be borne by
n judicious system OF duties. But by
towering ami adjusting p~Toii5itive du-
ties we can fully maintain the amount
OF customs revenues"
The minority report on the free list
bill, signed by all h republicans or
the ways and means committee, de.
clares that the measure represents "a
transparent attempt at the manufac.
ture of political capital"
The republican report asserts thai
congress was called together specifcal.
iy to pass the Canadian reciprocity bill
1.-THE interests OF the farmer and o;
everybody else will be subserved," sayi

from further exploitation and further
tariff legislation at the presen. time

after the reciprocity bill shall have
been finally acted on"

SOx LOSE THE FIRST

Detroit, Mich, April At was on
dark and dismal day the Sox and IT.
gers went forth to mop up mud on
their new 1911 buds, and there was
considerable mud, believe me, whatever
else may be said of the national pas
time There was very little of the lat
ter and the Tigers were on the long
end of 4 to 2 score that was equally
muddy at both ends.
Sad to remark, the Tigers knocked
more of the pent-up melody out of Mr.
Walsh. and Mr.. Crawford. the ancient
barber of Wahoo. Neb., was the chief
discord in a wholly unmusical after
noon. Clean hitting among all that
soft. juicy mud placed the locals be-
yond the reach of want early in the
doings. The author of the father song
was nicked nine times for a total of
fifteen sacks, and the Wahoo barber
COPIED four for total of seven. And
yet they said Sam was all in. If he
acts that way while Mr.. Walsh is pas
timing what will the tonsorial artist
of Nebraska do to the lesser lights?
