SENATE AT LAST
 READY FOR WORK
Upper Body of Congress Formally Organized
 Without Split

Washington, April 2s.-The Senate
 formally organized for business today
 by adopting the list of appointments to
 committees drawn up by the majority of both parties. The expected fight
 against the adoption of the lists
 threatened by the progressive repub- lcans did not develop. Senator La Toilette contented himself by reading a formal protest against the selections made by the regular republicans.
 The LaFollette statement which was prepared at a conference of the 1S in- surgents. Senator Kenyon, the new senator from Iowa. having joined the original 12, set forth at some length the growth of the so-called progressive movement in the republican party. It asserted the progressive republicans en- tertained marked and well defined diff ferences of opinion with the regulars that the progressives now have more than fourth of the republican membership in the Senate and they have become a settled and established fact in political history. The progress ives, it was claimed had a right to one-f fourth of the representations on the committees. The protest was di- rected on the finance committee in which the insurgents wished to place Senator Bristow and the intestate com merce committee on which MT. LaFol- lette desired a place.
 Three of the nine republicans on the interstate commerce committee. it was pointed out were from New England, and 1t was asserted that this commit tee had been left in the hands of per sons not friendly to advanced legisla- tion regarding the railroads and the fanance committee had been left in the control of the ultra high tariff repub- licans
 When MT. LaFollette had concluded the insurgent statement, Senator Gal finger. chairman of the committee on committees, said he was quite content to let the insurgent statement go be- fore the country. together with the committees as framed. Mathematical ly. he declared, the insurgents were en- titled to 100 committee places. As q matter of fact, they were given IA places.
 The committee list then was adopted with only a few scattering noes from the insurgents

Cadsden, April 2S.-(Special.) )-The yards fof the Louisville and Nashville railroad in this city are becoming too small for the business of the road and it seems likely. that extensive improvements will be un- dertaken in the near future. At least this 1s the opinion of railroad men who are fa- rniliar with the situation. It happens not 1nfrequently of late that the yards are so congested that 1t is impossible to get cars onto the sidings. The Louisville and Nashville is making many improvements along its line and with the increasing business that is being done more room in the yards here will doubles become i'm. perative.
