iy on the Pacific coast. Is there any
wonder, then, that the most strenuous
efforts have been made to get private
ownership of that coal?"
Pardee declared that the conserya-
tionists were wroth because monopo-
lists had left so much coal in abap-
doned mines.
They found that they could make
more money by mining one ton and
selling at at high prices while another
ton remained wasted in the ground
than to mine two tons, and sell them
at lower figures"
The speaker took up the subjects of
timber, water supply and power sites.
He praised Governor Johnson highly
for his work in behalf of conservation.

The LOCAL
POLITICAL
SITUATION

Despite that caucus will be held
this evening by the councilmen to
agree upon the appointments to be
made next Tuesday evening, when the
council takes up the reins of the city
government, the councilmen seem at
sea as to who will be selected.
Predictions of all kinds are being
made, but little attention can be paid
to them. There seems to be dispo-
sition of some of the councilmen to
secure positions for favorites, and
they are endeavoring to effect trades,
and until this trading element finally
makes known its position 1t cannot be
predicted with any certainty as to
whom the plums will go.
Grant Corby seems still to retain a
good lead over Roland X. Page for the
city attorneyship. His followers seem
sanguine, but Pages following are
making hard fight and believe they
may yet win.
Street Commissioner Zwicker seems
assured Of reelection, as he has been
recommended by the street commit
tee.
There is a three-cOrnered fight for
the sanitary inspectorship, with Long
apparently in the lead, but he does
not seem as strong as a few days ago.
VIM. Ivan had the lead over Mark
Savage for the fire chief several days
ago, but since then Savage has been
gaining, and it will come as no sur
prise should he win the appointment.
DR.. o. B. Miles seems to have smooth
and easy sailing for the office Of health
inspector. By reason Of the fact that
the salary of this office has been in
creased, there will probably be other
candidates sprung at the caucus, but
it is not likely they will be strong
enough to best the doctor.
Chief of Police Hamilton has an
nounced that he will recommend no
changes in his force, and, If he does
not, all will be reelected, as the coun-
Gil is disposed to follow his recon-
mendations.
Engineer Skeelton is without oppo-
sition apparently. and seems to have
a leadpipe cinch on the job.

Democrats Engage
in Row Over Rules
Committees Power
Charges That House Organization Is
Trying to Usurp Functions Of eau
Gus Precipitste Fuss.

WASHINGTON. May 17.-CharginF that
members Of the house committee on rules
were seeking to nsurp functions Of
caucus by nominating the members OF the
committee, which will investigate the al
legged steel and sugar trusts, created the
most serious break that has occurred in
the democratic ranks Of the house since
the opening of congress.
Chairman Henry was denounced by
Representative Fitzgerald, chairman Of the
appropriations committee with having
made an "unwarranted assumption OF
authority" for the rules committee. Other
democrats said the action of the rules
committee, IL ratified by the house will be
a complete abrogation of the principles
for which the democrats had stood,
namely, the selection of committees by
action of the democratic caucus.
Two lists OF names, one being the pro-
posed steel trust committee. and re other
the sugar trust committee, we're submitted
by Mr.. Henry in the form OF privileged
resolutions, which he asked the house to
adopt.
Immediately questioned by democrats,
who had not been consulted as to the au-
thority by which the rules committee Of
fered these Names Mr.. Henry said about
! $50 democrats had approved the democratic
list and republican members were named
by Minority Leader Mann.
The steel trust investigating committee
was approved before the democrats woke
up to the full effect of the situation. The
resultant fight fell upon the sugar trust
committee, and a continuation of the
struggle finally was averted by the action
| of Democratic Leader Underwood, in ad-
| journing the house, while the resolution
was still pending.
The steel trust investigating committee,
which was duly elected by the house fol-
lows: Representative Stanley, Kentucky,
chairman; Bartlett Georgia; Beal. Texas
| Littleton, New York; McGillicuddy, Maine
| Olmstead, Pennsylvania; Young, Michigan
! Sterling. Illinois, and DanforJn, New York
The sugar trust investigating committee
as proposed by Chairman Henry, but not
acted up, consists of Representatives
