CANNOT AGREE
ON RESOLUTION
sether on the Matter of Popular
Election of United States Senators.
BY Associated Press.

Washington. April ga conferen e
report was made to the senate today
announcing the failure Of agreement
on the resolution aimed at a constitu =
tional amendment to provide for popu-
lar election of senators. 1t declared
that the house proposed to take away
from congress all supervisory power
over senatorial elections.
ITO deprive congress of the right to
say whether a member Of that body
had been corruptly elected" said Sen
ator Clark of Wyoming, chairman of
the judiciary committee, 'is striking -
the very root of our legislative de-
partnent 1t is my opinion that the
house amendment would preclude con :
gress from making any investigation
into the election Of a senator. It would
leave 1t entirely in the hands of the
states"
Senator Clark is one OF the senate
conferees. The report of the failure
of agreement, after sixteen confer e
ences between the representatives OF
the two houses of congress is in ac
cord with a notice Senator Clark gave
recently that he would report dis
agreement. The matter now will be
brought up on the floors of the two
houses.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa, April 2S.-
Whether Senator A. B. Comminss ad-
herents were planning a surprise for
the Taft forces in the Republican
state convention here tomorrow was
the paramount question among the

uncertainty even among Taft's friends.
He claimed to be able to control the
convention, but declined to divulge the
source of his support.
John T. Adams, Taft's Iowa man
ager, was more insistent than ever
that he and his friends would organize
the convention, even to the xetent of
raising his estimate to IS majority.

lor, senior United States senator
from Tennessee, who died yesterday,

NEW YORK TIMES PUBLISHES AN
ARTICLE WHICH CAUSES
MUCH COMMENT.
Says that in the Event Harmon or
Underwood are Nominated Bryan
Will Bolt, and Lead Movement for
Progressive Party.

Washington, D. c., April l. - The
New York Times published on its
front page this afternoon a dispatch
from its Washington bureau to the
effect that William ennings Bryan
Will not support Governor Harmon
or Congressman Oscar w. Underwood
in the event of the nomination of
either at the Baltimore convention
next July. The Times dispatch in
Inmates that in such a contingency
Bryan will join with the progressive
republicans in placing a third ticket
in he field.
Despite the fact that the story was
printed in The Times, which has al
ways been considered conservative in
politics, little credence is given it
by democratic politicians in the ma
tionai capital. In discussing the mat
ter several well-known democrats
vehemently declared it fabrication
gotten up by opponents of Harmon
and Underwood, done to throw the
support of the adherents of these two
men to Wilson or Clark.
While Bryan has opposed both Har-
mon and Underwood, the former be-
cause he thinks he represents Wall
street or the moneyed-interesIs, ana
the latter because he IS not the man
who could be elected, prominent DEM
ocrats in discussing The Times story
say The Commoner never during his
political career has shown the char
acteristics of an apostate to his party.
and that injustice has been done him
by those who placed this story in
the reach of the New York paper.

DAMAGE IS HEAVY
LIVES AND PROPERTY ARE NOW
IN GREAT DANGER AT
MEMPHIS.


Memphis, April 1.-The city leyee
at Auction street broke at noon to-
day flooding all the northern part of
the city. Thousands are being res
cued from streets and roofs by heroic
work of volunteer life-savers. Furni-
ture and values are being swept away
by the terrific current. Street car
service in the northern part of the
city Las been suspended. The river
is still rising and grave fears are
felt for the safety of the entire city.
Scores of families residing in a dis
trict covering between six and ten
blocks, near the Mississippi river in
the northern part of the city, hastily
out Of the district or to second stor-
les of their homes when small leVee
in the bayou Gayoso broke. A portion
of the streets in this district is also
flooded.
While every one who is connected
with the engineering department and
leyee service in the Memphis district
has kept long hours of service and
been under heavy strain, no breaks
in the embankments SO far have been
reported, and all express confidence
that they will stand against the pre-
dicted rise of forty three feet. RAIN
which began falling here yesterday in
the early hours of the morning in
creased in volume until it became
downpour lasting for several hours.
River men do not believe this to be
favorable to the already overstrained
levees.
The Mississippi river continues to
add additional record breaking figures

reau this afternoon reporting a stage

records.
