MUCH WORK AHEAD
Congress Again Convenes Fol-
lowing the Holiday Recess.
Senate Session Opens With
Bailey's Farewell Speech.
BUSINESS OF UPPER House
Has Been Retarded by the Trial
of Archibald.
End of the impeachment Case
Expected Next Week.

Washington, Jan. "A program
crowded with important work for ev-
cry remaining day of the session was
before the senate and house today
when they reconvened after the holi-
day recess of two weeks. Widespread
publicity given to the proposed fare
well speech of Senator Joseph w.
Bailey of Texas, made the senate the
center of attention and turned crowds
of people in the direction of the gal
leries before the noon hour.
Senator BaileyS speech was expected
to be the chief feature of today'S SeS-
sion, the senate having put over the
impeachment trial of Judge Robert
w. Archibald of the commerce court
until tomorrow. Many senators and
representatives had not returned to
Washington early today from their
holiday trip and both houses faced the
possibility of not having enough mem
bers on hand to constitute a quorum.
The important Investigations sched-
uled to occupy much of the time of
congress for the next few weeks will
not begin until next Monday. At that
time the ways and means committee
of the house will begin its hearings
preparatory to revision of the tariff
and the house money trust committee
will resume it's probe into the CON
centratiOn of money and Credits
Many important New York bankers
and financiers are to be among the
witnesses before the latter committee.
The end of the impeachment trial of
Judge Archibald is expected next week.
His attorneys will present about fifteen
more witnesses and Judge Archibald
probably will take the stand in his own
behalf before the conclusion Of the case.
Business in the senate has been greatly
by the time required daily for
the trial of the impeachment proceed
ings
The house was ready to continue
work on the Indian appropriation bill
which probably will be passed within
a day or two and sent to the senate.
The senate appropriation committee is
said to have the legislative appropria-
ton bill ready for action in the senate
within day or two. All the appropria-
ton measures will be pushed to COM
pletion in the near future.

TAFT'S CAR STICKS.
The President and His Brother Get
Ont and Walk.

Washington, Jan. 2.-President Taft
started out in one of the White House
automobiles to show his brother,
Henry w. Taft. some of the sights of
Washington. They drove down over
Potomac park to Virginia and then
the president directed the driver to
take new road. The big car 1abored
along with the mud getting higher and
higher on the wheels. Finally with a
lurch it came to a sudden stop.
Chauffeur Robinson, who always
drives the president through high
speed, opened the throttle wide but
the car refused to move. After a ten
minute struggle the president decided
to give up the fight and with his broth
er started back afoot for the White
House a good mile away.
They had not plodded far when the
car overlook them. A farmers horses
had come to the rescue a few minutes
after they had abandoned it.

When he saw what he had done, Lebecq
rushed out of the room and encountered
Hummelt, In the hall. He declared that
he would shoot him, too. AS he raised
the revolver Hummelt pleaded for his life.
TIE plea was effective and Lebecq rushed
on to the kitchen where he fired two more
shots. apparently to cause fright. Then
he returned to the room where the body
of the murdered woman lay and standing
directly over it, sent a bullet into his own
head. He lived an hour.
Fled Down Fire Escape.
Hummelt fled into a room off the hall
and from it, after he had locked the door,
went out on a fire escape and to the
ground.
Lebecq was taken into court a month
ago on the complaint of Mrs Baima who
asked that he be put under bond to keep
the peace. Her gratitude for the SER
vices he had rendered in the murder case,
she said, had been sorely tried and she
could stand the treatment Iebecq was
according her no longer. Lebecq was put
under bond.

ATTACKS |. And R.
Senator Bailey Assails the New
Political Idea
In a Speech Delivered Before a
Crowded Chamber.

| Washington, Jan. 2.-The greatest
| crowd that has besieged the senate
| galleries since the opening of this SeS-
sion of congress overflowed into hall
ways and corridors of the capitol to-
day in anticipation of Senator Bailey s
farewell speech. The senator took the
floor at the conclusion of the morn
I ing business Most senator's seats
were filled and many members of the
house crowded into the rear of the
chamber. Senator Bailey'S address
dealt principally with the principle of
the initiative and referendum and he
directed his words toward his resolu-
tion declaring that such a system
direct legislation as the initiative and
referendum would estab blish is in con-
flict with the representative principle
on which the republic is founded.
During my service of more than 21
years in the two houses of congress-,
said Senator Bailey. ct have never be-
fore delivered an address in either of
them intended more for the country
at large than for the body itself, and
1 would not now depart from that
rule, except for the extraordinary sit
uation in which we find ourselves with
respect to these questions Senator
Bailey declared the advocates of this
Extraordinary form of government had
conducted a systematic campaign for
years in behalf of their views. He de-
against such a system of direct legisla-
ton.

Bailey, rejected a direct democracy

Quotes From Statesmen.
The senator quoted from statesmen
who participated in the formation of
the constitution and the organization
OF the government to show that they
had never intended that the republican
form of government should give way
to direct legislation by the people,
such as the initiative and referendum
would provide.

London, Jan. 2.-After their protractsd
diplomatic skfrmishing, the Turks finally

TAFT GIVES UP
VIII Not Abolish the Panama
Canal Commission.
He Bows to the Wishes of the
Democrats.

Chicago, Jan. "A dispatch from
Washington to the Tribune says:
President Taft has abandoned his an
nounced intention to abolish the 18TH
mian canal commission and appoint
Col George w. Goethals as governor OF
the Panama canal zone.
This decision is due to the opposition
manifested by the Democrats of the
senate and house to any present change
in the administration of the canal zone.
They served what practically amounted
to an ultimatuIn upon President Taft
advising him that the nomination of
Col. Goethals as governor would not
be confirmed. The president could not
make the nomination without abolish
ing the canal commission. Had he
carried out his plan and the Democrats
remain obdurate, a chaotic condition of
the isthmus. There would have been
no official head to the work and the
last few months of the construction of
the canal might have been attended by
friction.
The fact that the president has de-
cided not to establish civil government
on the isthmus at this time does not
mean that Col. Goethals will not be
named as the first civil governor of the
completed canal. The leaders in the
Democratic party announced yesterday
that they intend to vie with the Re-
puOiicdHS III giving INC cOioiol al Inc
honor which properly is due him. What
they objected to was the apparent at
tempt on the part of the Taft admin
istra tion to deprive their party of par
ticipation in the construction of the wa
ter way. If civil government had been
established, the country would have be-
lieved the canal completed under Re-
publican rules AS 1t is the canal Will
not be finished for six months at the
earliest. When the water is allowed to
run through the cut, then the Demo-
Gratis say, they will authorize civil gov
ernment and Col. Goethals will be at
the head -
