pressed directions from the Legislature.

lature to grant him authority to name a
Senator ad interim.

Finance Committee. also had sent mes
sage emphasizing the Importance OF SEN
ator Kern's request. Both Senators
pointed out that 1t was important that
there should be no possibility OF a con-
test in the appointment OF a successor to
Senator Johnston. owing to the slender

Admits Helping Jenkins.

Confronted by one OF his own letters
James A. Emery, chief lobbyist OF the
National Association OF Manufacturers,
was compelled to admit 70 the Senate
lobby committee to-day that he had made
efforts to raise money to aid Representa-
tive jenkins OF Wisconsin, in his fight
for reelection in 1908. Only fifteen min
utes before Mr.. Emery had stoutly de-
MED that he had tried to help the WIS
consin Representative financially, and
was insstent on this point until Senator
Reed read letter Mr.. Emery had writ
ten TO Mulhall and which was part OF
the correspondence turned over 10 the
committee by the manufacturers asso-
citation.
Mr.. Enery's denial OF efforts to raise
money for Judge Jenkins followed the
reading OF a letter from Mulhall TO En-
cry. in which Mulhall. writing from su-
perior Wis, under date OF June u. 1905
said he believed that Jenkins could be re-
elected ~ we can raise the necessary
funds to carry on the work
Mr.. Emery declared that he made no
efforts 10 raise the funds suggested
by Mulhall, and then the letter, dated
July :, 1908. which he had written to

on the letterhead of the Citizens Indus

R. R, MEASURES
ARE DISCUSSED
Railroad Representatives Ap.
pear Before Joint LegisIa-
tive Committees

Arguments for and against the pro.
posed railroad legislation that is now un
der consideration by the committee or
railways were heard at a joint confer
cnce Of that committee with representa-
tivcs Of the railway companies and rail-
way employees Tuesday afternoon.
1t was said that the report of the
railways committee relating to three
senate bills, which have been referred to
it will be heard Wednesday, although
Chairman Gilbert has declared that it
would be impossible to state just what
the nature Of this report will be.
Three Bi,,s Considered
The three bills which were considered
at Tuesday afternoons conference We're
Senate Bills Nos. So, SO and 80. No. So
is the act regulating the size of en-
gincs and cars and providing for clear
ancc Of obstructions along the tracks.
This is one Of the measures which the
railway representatives are particularly
anxious shall not pass, but the measure
which appeared to be Of greatest inter-
est to them was No. SO, known as the
full crew" bill, and providing for a con-
ductor, two brakemen and tlagman on
all trains Of more than 40 freight cars.
The railroad representatives declared
that such an act would be an extrava
gance of precaution, inasmuch as the
crews now assigned to train should be
capable Of handling it with perfect safe
ty. The Northern Pacific representatives
declared that the passage Of this bill
will mean an additional expenditure for
help in the state Of North Dakota Of ap-
prOximately 100000 annually.
Bill No. SS refers to equipment OF loco
motives with electric headlights.
Railroad Men Here
Among the representatives of the rail
road companies who discussed these
bills with the joint committee yesterday

BALKANS
MISSION
IS { ENDED
Allies Believe There is No
Use Of Attempting Further
Negotiations
iay Associated Press.)

LONDON. Jan. 2s.--With the prcsen-
taton of the note to the Turkish dele
cation, the date for which was not fix.
ed. some OF the Balkan delegates consid
er their mission here ended. Several will
leave before the end OF the week
Despite this, the diplomats have not
given up hope, and many still think the
note was an attempt to exercise pressure
on Turkey. and that the allies intend to
await an answer of the new Turkish cab
met to the Joint note.
The evident reluctance Of the Balkan
allieS to resume hostilities is mot i'm
probably due to their failure to arrange
the difficulty with Roumania.
DR.. Daneff, head Of the Bulgarian del
egation, was in conference today with
Nj. Mishu, the liouInanian minister. on
the subject Of the Russian claims, and
1t was rumored in Sofia that Roumania
was about to present an ultimatum to
Bulgaria.
