ADVICE IGNORED
House District Committee Favor
ably Reports Bill Deemed I'm
necessary by Board.

Either because they received word from
the Commissioners too late or because
they were resolved to ignore the advice
Of the municipal executives. the House
District Committee yesterday voted unan-
imousiy to provide for existing deficiency
In the police and firemen's pension fund
by adopting the Redfield bill appropriat-
ing all revenue from property taxation IN
the District of Columbia. 49,
The only amendment introduced was
offered by Chairman Johnson. and ex-
cheney should be made up from the money
of the United States government.
This was accepted by some as being
in violation Of the organic act OF 1873
providing that the District and the Fed
eral governments shall share half and
half on all expenses.
Following the adoption OF the Redfield
hill hearings were held on the Rothermel
bill, providing home for inebriates. and
the bill which gives the Commissioners
control over the Sixteenth street herdic
company. c. c. Lancaster appeared on
behalf Of the advocates OF the hospital
for inebriates.
The Commissioners sent to Congress an
unfavorable report on the bill introduced
by Representative Redfield. OF New York.
providing for the defrayment Of the po-
lice and firemen's pension fund defcien-
eies by means OF a separate tax levy.
The District officials stated that the
measure is unnecessary, as the revenues
Of the District are already large enough
to meet existing deficiencies and those
which might be expected In the future
The. Commissioners suggest as a substi-
tute measure the Martin bill. which pro-
vides for the defrayment OF all pension
fund Deficiencies by the utilization OF
revenues obtained from the issuance Of
all licenses except liquor licenses.

LA TOILETTE SOON
TO ATTACK T. R.
Wisconsin Senator Will Join Taft
Forces in Preventing Roose-
velt's Nomination.

Senator La Toilette will emerge from
ambush in a few days and attack the
left flank of the Roosevelt forces while
President Taft is engaging the right
flank The Senator's progressive or in
surgent force is not large, but It fs
active and well armed.
Senator La Toilette has put forward
a strong arm to stay a Roosevelt move
ment in Wisconsin. Yesterday he forced
Congressman Lenroot OF his list as a
candidate for delegate-at-large at the
Wisconsin primaries because Lenroot in
sisted on going to Roosevelt for second
choice. 1t is evident that La Toilette
will not stand for Roosevelt at Chicago.
The Wisconsin members OF Congress
who declared for Roosevelt for second
choice have been compelled to recall
their expressions under pressure of a
back-fire from Wisconsin started in their
districts by La Toilette. The Wisconsin
Senator will he on the hustings attack
ing Roosevelt in a few days.
Representative Lenroot, in his inter-
view, says that it will relieve both Sen
ator La Toilette and himself from en-
barrassment II he declines to be a can
didate for delegate 10 the national con-
vention.

KANSAS PRIMARY
CAUSES CONTENTION
Roosevelt People Claim 1t Fore.
shadows General Result-Taft
Followers Call It Unfair.

Sharp issue was taken yesterday be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt people
over the primary held In the Fifth Kan
sas district. Roosevelt carried the primary
about 15eto /. but the Taft people con-
tend that the machinery was manipulated
In such a way that it was impossible for
the Taft, Cummins, and La Toilette dele
gates to compete on a fair basis.
They were, SO the Taft people said.
thereby driven from the field and refused
TO engage in the primaries. The Taft
people contend the Roosevelt supporters
were able to muster only q per cent Of
the Republican votes Of the district for
their candidate. The Roosevelt boomers
declare that the primary was entirely
regular, and that the result in the Fifth
district foreshadowed the general out
come Of the fight between Taft and
Roosevelt IN Kansas.
The Roosevelt managers announced last
night that Gov. Eberhart. OF Minnesota,
has given his approval Of the suggested
plans for the Presidential primary to be
conducted under the auspices OF the
State central committee. This plan, II
carried out, will insure a solid Roosevelt
delegation from Minnesota.

He Will Resent Insinuations as to
the Financing of His
Campaign.

Oyster Bay, March S.-A bomb is going
to be hurled into the Taft camp within a
few days, and Col Roosevelt will be the
one to throw IL. The ex-President is
tired OF the veiled insinuation of the Taft
managers that the harvester trust Is
financing the boom. The colonel purposes
to make the Taft leaders literally eat
their own words.
The Roosevelt fusillade will come in
the form of a sco-ching statement direct
ed at the Taft managers. He will de-
mand that they take up what he con-
siders the real issue of the nomination
fight-the right Of the people 10 say whom
they want for their Presidential candi-
date
When asked to-day If he had anything
to say about suggestion from the Taft
camp that Wednesday nights visit OF
George w. Perkins had to do with prof
fered support Of the International Har-
vester Company, Roosevelt's eyes snapped
as he replied:
You will see later about it."

TRANSFER HEARING
FINALLY ARRANGED
After a Months Rest, Bill Passed
by Senate Will Be Considered
by House Committee.

After remaining in undisturbed quies-
cence on the table of the House District
Committee for more than a month the
universal transfer act, passed by the
House during the extra session OF Con-
gress and by the Senate on January 2
Of the present session, will come up for
consideration by the District Committee
next Wednesday. and. II is believed, will
be favorably reported.
II was stated that a hearing would
have been held on the bill at yesterday 5
session but for the fact that the COM
mittee's time was occupied with the Red
field bill. At the special meeting
Wednesday President George Z. Hamil-
ton, OF the Capital Traction Company.
Clarence King. Of the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company. and repre-
sentatises OF various civic organizations
will be present
II was planned to have a hearing on
the universal transfer measure two weeks
ago. but, because Mr.. Hamilton had an
engagement elsewhere, the committee de-
cided that II could not be considered.
Individually the members Of the House
District Committee-lixe the majority OF
the HOuse-have expressed their unquali-
fed belief that the measure will speedily
be passed when II comes out of COM
mittee.
Members Of the District Committee said
yesterday that the universal transfer
measure had not come up because no
one had called for it"
The measure was reported favorably to
the Senate from the District Committee
on January =, and was passed the fol-
lowing day. Senators have been at a
loss since then to determine what hap
pened to the measure. The announce
ment that il will be taken up in a special
session next Wednesday is the first word
heard in two weeks.

ROW ON CANAL RESTRICTIONS.
House Cannot Agree on Embargo
of RaiIroad-owned ships.

A bitter row has developed in the
House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce over the proposal that a
provision be inserted in the Panama bill
denying the use OF the canal to ships
owned directly or Indirectly, or controlled
by railroads.
Those who urge that such an embargo
be placed on railroad-owned ships de-
clare that unless such a provision is
adopted there will be little or no COM
petition between transportation lines
that viii use the canal and the trans
continental railroads.
The committee is at odds on this ques-
ton, and as a result referred II for ex-
animation and report to a subcommittee
composed OF Representatives Covington,
OF Maryland; Cullop, of Indiana, and
Hamlin. Of Missouri, Martin. OF South
Dakota, and Knowland, Of California.

sand dozen eggs. total Of $4,000,
were thrown overheard by local spec.
ulators Saturday.at a loss of . cents
dozen They tried 70 get rid OF
several thousand more but could find
no takers.
The panic is due to the collapse in
the inflated boom resulting from the
abolition Of the price committee Of
the Chicago butter and egg board
For two months these committees
have been showing prices upward. The
board. under fire. abandoned It's
committee three days ago
Commission men say the price OF
eggs is due to drop to the bottom
and they predict that with over 1900
600 cases in cold storage, eggs VIII
drop 10 10 cents a dozen before Jan.
uary /, unless severe weather in
terycnes.
According to the association there
are 1.G37,355 cases of eggs now in
storage, 34l274 more than last year.
Most of these are held by small
spectators who borrowed to pnr-
chase last spring or got loans on re-
