HENRY STILL FOR WAR
Will Attack Pujo Money Trust
Resolution To- day.
Icon The Tribuno Rurcau.


Washington Feb. 16.-AIthOugh the pros
pect is that the Pujo money trust resolu-
ton. authorizing the Banking and Cur
rency Committee 10 make a general Inquiry
into the financial situation, will be passed
by the House tomorrow. there is no pros
pect that the split in the Democratic party
will be even partly healed. After Chairman
Henry Of the Rules Committee has done
his duty in reporting the PuJo resolution,
by direction OF his committee. he will make
a most bitter attack on the resolution itself.
lie does not believe that II is directed
against the money trust nor that any
inquiry which may be made under It could
possibly amount 10 anything. lie intends
to speak his mind. and those who have
seen his speech indicate that It is not OF a
character calculated to restore cordial rela-
tlons between him and the conservative
element Of the party under tho leadership
of Representative Underwood.
Mr. Henry Is understood TO be highly irri-
tated at the constant references TO him as
the leader Of the Bryan or radical element
in favor of a spectacular money trust In
vestigation" and at the mention Of Mr..
Underwood's followers as the "conserva-
tives" Of the House. He has threatened, II
is said. TO show tho similarity that exists
in his mind between conservative" Demo
Gratis and wall Street" Democrats, even
at the risk Of disrupting his own party.
He is also convinced that the Democratic
party. in declining to follow his lead in In
vestlgating the money trust" has made a
fatal mistake that is sure 10 have unhappy
!, results In the next campaign, and is pre-
pared. in the event OF disaster. TO say, 81
told you so"
The Banking and Currency Committee
held a meeting to-day TO discuss plans for
the inquiry, but nothing was decided. DIFF
ficulty in selecting counsel to handle tho
case for the committee is already appear
ing.

Washington, February IN
WHOM THE GODS WOULD DESThOf'
The announcement that the eHhioltio'
which Senator La Toilette made OF MINI
self at Philadelphia and the nerVo"'
breakdown" which followed were merely '''
results OF intense anger. which was ihau'
IN this column at the time and has since
been confirmed I'm various quarters is more
than substantiated by the attack when
Colonel Houser manager Of the La Folette
boom. has made on Colonel Roosevelt.
Senator Stephensons homely comment
most succinctIy describes the condition OF
the Wisconsin Senator Bob amt sick
he says hes just all het up" and no"
the Presidential aspiant himself informs
the public that he is only Temporarily
indIsposed and is still a candidate. But III
the estimation of shrewd observers oI po-
litical events there is something about the
anything to- beat-Taft" slogan which leads
to madness. In proof Of this assertion is
cited the extraordinary manifesto OF Meui''
Mccormick, issued I'm connection with inc
opening OF the Roosevelt headquarters IN
this city, in which he charged the admin
istration with political paranoia' TINS
extraordinary statement has produced
most unfavorable impression, even among
the opponents Of the administration. VINO
declare the extravaganza and violence OF MI
McCormicks pronUnciamento TO be such az
to arouse a suspicion that he too, mas petH
afflicted with a madness which, II II con-
tnue unrestrained. Is likely TO prove quite
as dangerous 10 the cause OF Mr.. Roosevelt
as did the madness OF Senator La Follette
10 his own boomlet. II is admitted by the
saner Of Mr.. Taft's opponents that such
violence Of temper and reCklessness or IN
vective are far moro likely to rcpel than 10
attract that large class Of voters whom they
believe to be undetermined In their choice
between President Taft and ex-President
Roosevelt It is generally remarked that
the time for yituperation and billingsgate
in American politics has passed, and that
men are no longer swayed by such crude
methods Some of Mr.. McCormick's friends
assert that President Taft probably de-
scribed the condition of certain of the anti
administration workers with greater ac-
curacy than ne realized when he referred
to them as ''neurotics" and insist that
hereafter, unless the President and his sup
pOrters again trespass on delicate ground,
there will be no recurrence of Mr.. McCor-
micks outbreak, But the advisability Of
permitting Mr.. Mccormick TO remain In
charge of the headquarters" is still being
seriously considered. OF course, the admin
istraton is far from disturbed by this at
tack. or any other of like character. the
Presidents friends contenting themselves

the gods would destroy they first make

YUAN BEGINS BIG TASK
Chinese President Refuses TO GO
to Marking, and Tells Why.
MUST PROTECT THE PRINCES
Must Watch the Monarchical
Party and Must Guard Against
Foreign Intervention.

Peking, Feb. l6.-In the course OF an In
terview with an Associated Press corre-
sponhent to-day Yuan Shih-kai said:
owing to lack OF experience, the repub-
lican government Will make many errors.
Having been elected President Of the Re-
public I will undertake the task"
Yuan Shih-kai said he had great ad-
miration for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, who had
shown himself true patriot.
Yuan is determined not to go to Nanking
and is endeavoring to persuade the Nan
king Assembly that his presence there is
not necessary, at the same time pointing
out the dangerous possibility of the mon
archical party endeavoring TO re-ostablish
Itself in power.
He also told them Of the threatening sit
uation in Manchuria, where foreign inter
vention !s probable If control is relaxed
There is also danger, he considers, of an
archy in the northern provinces. and the
Manchu troops at present are very difficult
to control.
The princes of the imperial court arc be-
seeching Yuan not TO leave PeklnS, fearing
that If he does so something VIII happen
TO the court. which trusts only to him for
its safety and for the fulhlment Of the
pledges given by the republicans.
Yuan Shlh-kai to-day seemed much less
worried than he has been for some time.
lie apparently believes that the Nanking
Assembly cannot stand in the way of the
unity of the country on the question of the
choice of a capital.
Yuan has issued orders for the northern
army TO cease it's opposition to the repuo-
lican troops, who are now permitted TO enter
the northern lines with absolute freedom
The celebration OF the proclamation Of
the Republic of China is being observed
with great enthusiasm in numerous cities
and no reports Of serious disorders have
come TO hand.
General ii Yuen-hcng, the republican
military leader at Hankow, who was ap-
pointed Vice President of the Republic by
sun Yat-sen urges the selection Of Wa
Chang, In the Province Of lu-Peh, as the
capital OF the republic 1t Il thought in
some quarters that hc is doing this with
view to assisting Yuan Shih-kai by split
ting opinion among the republicans IN the
south.
Nanking Feb l6-The republicans, IN
teIegraphing the news of his selection as
President of the Chinese Republic TO yuan
shIh.kal. at Peking, informed him that he
was second only to George Washington
who was the only other President Of a re-
public who had been unanimously elected.

PIKE COUNTY ETIQUETTE.-The rea-
son why those invited TO the dinner given
nv the President and Mrs. Taft in honor OF
the dipIomatic corps were kept waiuhs
three-a,arters OF an hour was recently eN-
nlained in this column, and now II is possl-
bile TO explain why the guests at the White
House reception in honor Of the two houses
Of Congress were kept waiting hall an hour.
Al the so-called Congressional reception
tho first guests 10 be received are always
tho Vice President and his wife and the
Sneaker and his wife The Nice-Prcsiueht
and his family being in mourning, the
honor fell this year 10 the Speaker and MS
wife. But when the hour for the reception
In begin arrived neither tho Speaker nor
Mrs. Clark had appeared. For half an hour
the PRESIDENT and Mrs. Taft waited, while
the crush in the East Room became mo-
mentarily greater. Then they descended
and the reception began. An hour after the
time set for the reception the Pike County
statesman and his better half drifted into
the lower corridor. They had been al the
theatre they explained, and could not tear
themselves away from the performance.
They greeted pleasantly those Of their ac-
ouaIntances who were standing in line, and
il was half an hour later when they reached
tbe receiving line. Nor did the Speaker
seem in the least embarrassed by his tardi-
ness. Probably he never realized that he
had kept the Chief Executive ard at least
a thousand guests waiting for half an hour.
