Is Announced.

Washington. Jan. 24.-After q

and Representatives Payne and Dali
zell, minority members OF the house
ways and means committee, Payne
declared the minority would oppose

publican leaders.
MANY HEADS TO FALL.
Gigantic economies advocated by
President Tafts economy commission
in expenditures OF approximately one
billion dollars for the annual ex-
penses Of the federal government
were explained TO the house commit
tee on appropriations today. 1t is
said the proposed economies will in
clude the elimination Of many Off
cials and important departmental
changes.
TO OPEN MORE LAND.
More than lS,OOoOO0 acres OF pub
lie lands, now withheld for settle
ment because OF supposed oil deposits,
will be available for agricultural en-
try under a bin favorably reported

entries, reserving oil rights TO the
government.
CLAIM FACTS SUPPRESSED.
Urban A. Waller, editor of the
Postal Journal, today told the hous,
postottce committee that the post
master general and other officials
suppress facts and misinform con
gress as TO the safety of lives of rail
way mail clerks. Waller said he haC
500 letters from clerks reporting Oh
uEsanitary and unsai5 cars. but thei
positions would be jeopardized wer
their names published.
SURPRISES ADMINISTRATION.
Friends of the administration wer
surprised today at the announcement
that Governor Hadley of Missouri
had come out In support Of the nom
inAtion OF Roosevelt. Hadley's SUP
port had bseu counted upon b
Taft's political advisers. When Had
Icy was in Washington severa
weeks ago II was announced he ha
practically pledged himself TO SUI
port Taft for denomination. So cor
fdent were the political advisers c
the president that Hadley was worl
ing in his interest that Secretary Ni
gel, who comes from st. Louis, pra'
tically surrendered the state leader
ship to the governor.
MORE STEEL OPERATIONS.
Richard X. Gray of San Francisc'
a dealer in iron and steel product
testified today before the Stanle
committee that after obtaining a col
tract TO supply seamless tubes f.
the gunbOat Bennington subsidial
companies OF the steel corporate
refused to sell to him. He declare
the refusal was based on the grouI
that the Shelby company, one of Il
subsidiaries. had been a bidder al
because Of the companies refusal
supply him, the contract was sure
dered to the Shelby concern.

Efforts for Revision Re.
sisted by Delegates at
Chicago Meet.
OLD MEMBERS TO LOSE
Many of Them, 1t Is Contended,
Could Not Afford to Pay
Increased Rate.

Chicago, Jan. 24-Insurance COM
missioners of five states who ad-
dressed the convention Of Modern
Woodmen here today refuted the
charge made in circulars that moneyed
interests are responsible for the at
tempt to induce fraterna organiza-
tions to increase rates. These cir
culars have been scattered broadcast
among the delegates. Besides asking
that rates be increased, the commits
sioners advocated the adoption Of a
uniform system OF higher rates
throughout the country in fraternal
orders.
INSURGENTS CHEER
Statements made by speakers op-
posed to the increase were loudly
cheered by the insurgents in the
convention today. The insurgents"
are said to be we'll organized and are
holding secret meetings outside of the
regular sessions.
OPPONENTS ARE HEARD.
Speakers against the report OF the
revision committee, which formulated
the plans, said any revision upwards
would have a tendency to drive the
old men out of the order, as many OF
them could not afford to pay the in
crease.
Charles Page Of Oberlin. Kan, said
number Of old men in his camp told
him before he started to Chicago that
| if the rates were increased they would
not pay another assessment.
| PROBLEM ONE OF EDUCATION.
81 regard the problem before the
tion," said A. r. Talbot, head consul
of the order. Upon the facts of our
history and upon the foundation of all
past life insurance experience but one
conclusion can be reached on this rate
question. There cannot be an honest
difference of opinion on question Of
mathematics, but there may be honest
differences due to a lack of informa-
tion.''
I Among members who spoke in favor
Of the increased rates were Senator c.
G. Saunders of Council Bluffs, Iowa,
and William s. Hendrick Of Indianap-
oils.
MANY SOCIETIES REPRESENTED.
Many officials from other fraternal
societies and several insurance com
missioners are attending the conven.
tion. They are watching the develop.
ments, as it is asserted that whatever
action is taken must have a marked
effect on any other fraternal insurance
organization.
AFFECTS 1,25O,OOO wOODMEN.
2 The question of insurance rates sf
fects about 1,25O,O00 Woodmen. They
' have now in force insurance to the
y amount of $1,S62 ,600, 600. Through in
creased rates 1t is proposed to add al
additional income of S22, 100000 annu
n ally for the benefit of older members
I by raising the charges on younger
