 As presented to the full committee oy the subcommittee, which framed 1t, the bill included provision by Representa- tive Burleson of Texas, making former Presidents members at large of the House with salary of $17.5oo. A full committee eisapproved and it was struck out.
 The commerce court is not provided for in the measure The court asked for S5i,- 500 for the coming fiscal year, but the committee would not allow the item. The last legislative executive and judicial bill gave the court just enough money to con- tinue it to March 4 1913.

Washington December 1.-The recall and initiative as amendments to the fed eral constitution on judicial decisions to- day was proposed by Senator Bristow i'll resolutions laid before the Senate.
 The first resolution would permit the President to submit to popular vote al congressional election any measure he has recommended to Congress and upon which no action has been taken for six months. The second would provide that if the supreme court shall decide law enacted by Congress is in violation of the provisions of the constitution of the United States, the Congress at a regular session held after such decision, may sub- init the act to the electors at a regular congressional election. Under each amendment it is proposed the questions submitted to the people must have a ma jority of the popular vote in majority of the states, as well as in a majority Of the congressional districts of the na- tion. In a brief explanation Senator Bris- tow declared the amendment affecting the President would enable him to appeal from a dilatory or adverse Congress to the people and that President could not as an excuse for signing an unde- sirable measure, say: Tt was the best he could get from an unfriendly Con- gross" Senator Bristow. in support of his amendment affecting decisions of the supreme court, declared that it would give to the people an opportunity to de- clare whether they desire the law en- acted by Congress and approved by the President to stand as the last expression of their will and judgment.

JESUIT QUESTION
 UP IN RE|CHSTAG
German Catholics Claim Decision of Bundesrath
 Is An AffrOnt

Berlin. December 1.-The Jesuit ques- tion was raised in the reichstag today by the clerical leader. Dr. Peter Spahn. who said the bundesrath's recent inter- pretation of the anti-Jesuit law of 1872 had made more severe the provisions of the law. thereby affronting 24,o00, 900 Catholics in the realm. He read a formal declaration of the clerical cen ter party to the effect that German Catholics in the German empire will receive just consideration from the im- perian chancellor and the bundesrath, and will order their conduct accord ingly.
 The imperial chancellor, Dr. von the bundesraths decision as only an in depreciation of a law 40 years old This decision in effect holds that Bavaria's recent course in modifying the severity of the enforcement of the imperial legislation against the Jesuit order In Germany was illegal.
 The chancellor declared that the Protestants always have bitterly op- posed the Jesuits, who also in the past have not been tolerated even in cer- tain Catholic countries on account of their militant activity in politics; the church. and the schools, their interna- tional character and their opposition to the growth of the modern conception of Inc state"
 While 24.00o.o00 Catholics wanted the Jesuit law repealed, continued the chancellor, 40,00000O Protestants want ed 1t retained, and he warned the cen trists against a renewal of the religious conflict of the seventies.
 A socialist speaker assured the c1er- icals that his party would support any attempt which was made to repeal the law. The two parties together have a big majority in the reiehstag.

 OFFICIALS ID MEET

Salt Lake City, Utah, December 4.-The first party of Hartman line officials who will hold a meeting here tomorrow ar rived tonight, headed by J. A. Monroe, vice president. in charge of traffic of the Union Pacific railroad. Other par ties from the east and northwest will arrive tomorrow morning.

 Legendre

 In the Witherspoon letters reference was made to efforts which he had put forth to prevent the organization of inde- pendent refining companies in Louisiana In a letter written by Havemeyer in Mo- vember, 1906, he intimated that the fed eral government might be appealed to to interfere" against the organization of an independent refinery by Louisiana planters. Havemeyer suggested that a combination of the planters for such a purpose would be in line with what Pres ident Roosevelt would consider "corn bina- tion in restraint of trade'
 The proposed combination of the plant CTS was not effected and Emile Legendre, a retired planter, in telling of similar plan to organize refinery here, testified that .abject fright" of the so-called trust was, in fact the real cause of the failure ,z1,
