E. D. P. POW.WOW
PARTISAN
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CON-
MlTTEE WILL DISCUSS PARTY
AFFAIRS.

Washington, Dec. l6.-Members of
the republican national committee
from every state and territory in
the union are to attend the big
powWow today. The meeting will be
devoted to a discussion of party
matters, Chairman Charles d. Hillcs
and Secretary James b. Reynolds
having made this plan in the call
issued for the conference. The
decision to call the national com
mittee results from the repeated re-
quests of the republican party. The
principal changes demanded are in
the basis of representation from the
southern states at national conyeI
tions; and in the method of electing
delegates from states that have pri
mary laws covering that subject.
1t is expected that the national
committee will not agree to the
calling of a national convention
without protest on the part of some
of its members, who claim that the
committee itself has ample authority
to make the necessary change in
rules and regulations.
California, Iowa and South Dakota
however have statutes which pro
vide for the election of delegates to
national party conventions on the
state wide plan. The law committee
holds that the national committee
has authority to make exceptions in
calling the special convention as toI
conform to the state laws which
conflict with the regular party GUS
tom. The law committee, in short, |
has taken special pains to make the !
legal phases OF the situation fit pub |
lie sentiment, all of which has an
important bearing on the main get
together" issue which interests the
republican leaders.
The law committee of the national
at its meeting here sew
raj months ago, includes Charles
3. Warren of Michigan, Senator
Jones of Washington, Sherman Gran
ger of Ohio, Roy o. West Of Hi
lols, Representative James r. Mann

COMBINATION TO

Railroads Form Combine to Collect

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington. Jan. IA railroad
combination to control the tolls on
bridges over the Mississippi river was
described TO the house commerce COM
mittee today during hearing on bills
authorizing an additional bridge at
Keokuk. Ia
Vice President c. r JOY. OF the In

appeared in favor Of bill to permit
the company to build a new bridge by
utilizing the government dam con-
structed at Keokuk. In opposition to
the bill, Theodore Gilman, Of New
York, secretary Of Hamilton and Keo-
kuk Bridge Company, which con-
structed the present bridge. and SUI
perentendent Cole, of the bridge COM
pany, appeared. They told the COM
mittee there was no competition be-
tween railroad bridges over the Mis-
sissippi because the railroads fixed the
toll rates.

matter would be brought to the atten-
tion Of the attorney general

90 per cent of their troops killed, wound
ed or captured.
1t was a sudden, fierce grapple I'M
paralleled for murderous violence.
Contrary to the plan in every other
battle of the war, the generals on
both sides led their troops in person.
That fact explained the unprecedented
rate Of casualty among the officers.
On the Confederate side the highest Of
ficer left in Gen. w. A. Quarles's bri-
gade was a captain. That night when
the roll was called, but 100 of the 500
who had gone into the battle responded.
Gen. Sherwood was a colonel in this
battle. Almost at the first shot his
horse was killed under him.
That fact probably saved my life

front on their horses were marks for
the enemy, and they were nearly all
shot down"
For bravery at Franklin Gen. Sher-
wood won his promotion from Presi-

Gen. Sherwood today is in the best
Of physical condition. He appears as
a far younger man than he is. He at
tributes his physique to the fact that
he has never used tobacco or liquor.

WANTS A COMPETENT
POSTMASTER GENERAL NAMED

Trenton. N. J.. Jan. 17.-Representa-
tive David ]. Lewis, of Maryland, au-
thor of the house bill from which the
present parcel post law originated,
urged President-el elect Wilson today to
appoint as postmaster general "a COM
petent master of postal and transport
tation economics" Mr.. Lewis sug-
gesJed no names, but pointed out in a
memorandum submitted to Mr.. Wilson
that without additional funds or legis-
.ation, the postofflce department within
four years cold establish rates for the
movement of small ship ments at one
half the present express rates. BY
making the rural routes relatively
profitable through the use of fast
freight, he said, penny postage would
be feasible.

Gen. Sherwood, Lone Union
Veteran, in Next Lower House
BY Robert r. Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 16.-After March
of this year Gen. Isaac r. Sherwood,
"the grand old man of Toledo" viii be
the only civil war Union veteran left
in the house of representatives. And
it is 80 to one that he will be the last
to serve in the lower branch of con-
gress.
1t may come as q sort of a shock to
the country to know this. Up to a few
years ago the gallant band that fought
on the northern side at MurfreesboTo
and Gettysburg gave congress its most
numerous class of men. But In recent
years their ranks have been thinning
at an alarming rate. In the present
dying house there are four members Of
teh Grand Army Of the Republic.
Three of these, Hill. of Connecticut,
Thistlewood, of Illinois, and Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, staunch republicans all,
went down in the democratic landslide
last fall. Sherwood, a democrat, sur
Vived, and thus of all those who wore
the blue from 81 to IS he alone is to
the sixty third congress.
The others are too old to try to come
back to congress again. Younger men
now have the political and physical
strength to be successful in the race
From the lips of Gen. Sherwood will
come the last personal Union recollec-
tons of the war to go into the Con-
gressional Record.
Gen. Sherwood bears his distinction
proudly. Although he is n years old.
his six feet of stature is held erect as
a youths. The Grand Army will have
no cause to be ashamed of its last rep
resentative in the house.
And it is fitting. too, that the old
army should have in its last represen-
tative a man of Gen. Sherwood's mill
tary record. He is as typical OF the
democracy Of American military ser
vice as any man ever sent to congress
by the people.
Gen. Sherwood enlisted at the out
break Of hostilities as a private. He
was discharged at the end of the war
as a brevet brigadier general Every
step of the way up his promotions were
won by personal valor.
Probably no man on either side
fought in more engagements than did
Gen. Sherwood. For four years he was
In almost continual battle. Several
times he was slightly wounded, but
| never SO severely as to incapacitate
him.
The iercest engagement in which he
took part was the battle Of Franklin.
Tenn, which has been called the
Gettysburg of the west" and pro-
nounced by International students the
| bloodiest engagement of modern war
fare. The battle lasted only 80 min

Havana, Jan. 17-As the Gomez ad-

disorder and bankruptcy again threat

ton that intervention on the part of
the United States apparently is the
only thing that can save the island re-
public from serious disturbances and
perhaps disaster.
The Gomez administration, which
was repudiated at the last election,
proposes to wreak vengeance upon the
people in it's last days. Among other
things, it is proposed to liberate $4,000
prisoners now in the jails and castles
of the island by a sweeping amnesty
act. The act has already passed the
house of representatives which is abb
soIutely under the control of Orestes
Ferrara, the presidents chief Iieuten-
ant. Ferrara is speaker of the house,
and is using the powers of his Office
in accordance with the wishes of Co
nez. This bill, which is regarded as
vicious in the extreme, is to be voted
upon by the senate very soon.

Havana, has advised the authorities
that if the bill becomes law American
