stated positively that Representative
Underwood. the majority leader, has
no intention of opposing Mr. Clark

1t has been learned. however. that
Representative Robert L. Henry of
Texas. chairman of the rules commit
tee. is quietly working among his
friends with view to coming out
against Mr.. Clark if the opportunity
should offer itself. Mr.. Henry was a
candidate for speaker before the cleo
ton of Mr.. Clark at the beginning of
the present congress. but he did not
get many votes in the democratic
caucus. He hopes to do better this
time.
Mr.. Henry was. one of the strongest
Wilson men in the house prior to the
Baltimore convention. and helped to
win the governors victory in the con-
vention. 1t is believed that MIR. Henry

Care of Census Bureau
Accident Victim.

the census bureau clerk who was

last year. blames the sixteen members
of the house committee on claims for
the failure of congress to pass a
measure of relief for the injured girl.
Mr.. Houghton was bitter in his crit
icism of the nonaction of the claims
committee. He declared they had
made no investigation of the circum-
stances Of the accident. and. although
they had promised to send for the doc
tors and nurses attending the afflict-
ed girl. not a line Of evidence had been
taken. He declared that he even Of

themselves, but this suggestion was
ignored.

Points Out Cause of

cumbersome methods rather than to

judges results from dissatjsfart rtion
with the slow ways IN which caS.s

Blood Smith of Kansas. "This tardj-

and not to the judges. II is our belief

OF COAL
WILL Be PR0bED
Government Will Find Out
Who is Responsible for
Increased Price.

Washington, Aug. ga full report
to disclose who is profiting from the
present high price Of coal is prom
ised for the house of representatives
by the department of commerce and
labor on December 2 next. Secretary
Nagel has designated Commissioners
Charles P. Neill of the bureau of la
hor to investigate in conformity with
the resolution passed by the house
shortly before adjournment
Commissioner Neill has made sew
eral trips out of the city in search
OF information and is away now.
Upon his return. September 10. 1t is
expected that he will have sufficiently
explored the field so that the investi-
gators of the bureau NAV begin work
to gather the desired details.
Ih principal object of the inquiry
will be how much the cost of coal
of the general consumer has been in
creased as a result of the recent
strike In the anthracite coal regions
OF PENNSYLVANIA to which fields tine
inquiry specially was directed. In a
consideration Of the resolution orig
lnallN introduced by Representative
Dlffendcrfor of PENNSYLVANIA 1t was
said in the house committee that the
anthracite operators had added an
increase Of twenty-five cents ton to
the retail price of coal.
In conjunction with the inquiry as
to how much the price of coal was in
creased. commissioner Neill is expect
ed to ascertain for what reasons and
ny what means the cost was raised
Another line of inquiry will be Il
determine how much and in wha,
particulars the coal miners were
benefited by the strike agreement. Tn

Order Rescindcd.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 29.-Presi-
dent Taft last night rescinded his
twelve -hour-old order directing the
Immediate dispatch from Panama to
Nicaragua of the Tenth infantry.
From his private car in the Roch-
ester yards enroute to this city the
president wired to the acting secre
tary of war to recall the order. A
sufficient force of marines, the presi-
dent said, would be in Managua. the
Nicaraguan capital. and Corinto. its
principal seaport, early next week, to
insure the safety of American lives
and property.
The presidents action came at the
close of a day spent largely in con-
sidering kilograms from state, war
and navy department heads in Wash
ington. The president expressed to
friends on his car the belief that
there will be more than 1000 United
States marines on Nicaraguan soil by
tuesday. A long telegram from the
commander of the United States gun
boat Denver in Nicaraguan waters de-
clared that the insurgent leaders had
given assurances that they will open
the lines of communication from Cor
into to Managua. The Nicaraguan
government itself asked for assistance
from the United States and stands
ready to aid in opening the railway
line to the coast from the capital.
The message to the president said
that the rebels possess five locomo-
