Pushing Preliminary Along.


Washington, Jan. 27.-Although the
scope of the legislation to be taken up
at the approaching extra session of
Congress has not yet been outlined,
congressional committees are rapidly
pushing their preliminary work to a
point where recommendations can be
made to President-elect Wilson, and
plans laid before him for the early
work of his administration. Work on
tariff bills will soon be started, the
hearing reaching an end this week.
The money trust" end of the House
banking and currency committee is al
ready working on a report, while the
currency" branch of the same com
mittee will push its investigation this
week into other branches Of the cur
rency question, in the effort to secure
comprehensive suggestions for cur
rency reform.
Senate and House leaders do not yet
know what legislation, If any in addi-
tion to the work of the tariff revision.
will be taken up at the extra session.
Several who have talked with Gov. VIII
son express the confident belief that
the currency question and the question
of hberating the Philippines will be
included in the new Presidents scheme
of action for his first congressional
session.
1t is the general opinion in Demo
cratic circles in Washington, that Pres
ident-elect Wilson will at least not
''foreclose" Congress against acting on
everything but the tariff in the spe-
cion session. A majority of the Demo
Gratis in the Senate expect little legis-
lation but the tariff to be taken up,
but they believe President Wilson, in
calling the extra session, will not spe-
officially limit its work.
An effort is under way by some
Democratic senators to postpone ac-
ton on the currency until the next
regular session, and it is expected that
movement will be promoted to Sc
cure an extension of the present Aid
rich-Vreeland emergency currency law
for at least year, so that an emer-
gency measure will still be at hand in
case of industrial or financial distur-
Dances. Under this plan no attempt
would be made to legislate on currency
questions until next winter.
The full extent of the fight between
the Republican and Democratic fac
tions in the Senate over President
Taft's appointments is expected to de-
: lyelop this week A Republican caucus,
TIE first of the session, probably will
be held early in the week, and the
majority of Republicans now insist
there will be no concessions to the
Democrats, but that the demand again
will be made for confirmation Of all
, OF the appointments now before the
Senate. The House viii devote its
time this week to the consideration
Of appropriation bills. and by the end
! of the week it is expected that sew
} eral big supply measures win be ready
; for the consideration Of the Senate.

The state contributed nothing to the
funds of the board. Three of the pres
ent members we're appointed by Gov
ernor Brewer. The six members form
ing the board have absolute authority
in all the affairs of the district. The
president Of the board has absolute
authority during recess or when the
board is not in session to give or
ders to any employees and to dis
charge them if necessary. The chief
engineer is an employee, subject to
discharge at any time at the willNof
the board, and not an officer OF the
board. He is merely citizen and ac-
countable solely to the board
"Now, the governor of the state has
chosen several times to throw aside
the dignity which should belong to a
governor and to viciously attack me
to close friends, as well as once indi-
rectly in print outside the state. So
as much as l regret the necessity of
doing so, as have the highest respect
for the governors office, am COM
PEELED in self-defense, the defense of
my reputation, which is everything on
earth have, to reply to this attack.
If l have ever been in any way dis
courteous to the governor, do not
know it. have met him but once,
and have never had any business trans.
action of any kind with him. Now for
his attack.
I'm the first place the Beulah work
was United States Government con.
tract, being paid for from an appro.
priation made by Congress and was
entirely in the hands of the United
States Government. My only connec-
tion with it in any manner, shape or
form has been to assist the govern
ment engineers in every way possibly
could. The Levee Boards emergency
force, which was placed at the disposal
of the government was under the SUI
pervision of the government engineers,
as there can be only one head to direct
such work. This is on the records OF
the board in the form of a contract
which was published.
81 invite all the fair investigation
possible, both by the Levee Board and
by the Mississippi River Commission
l am sure that if this board finds me
to blame, as the governor states 1 am
it will not hesitate to discharge me
Now, the statement said to have been
made by Governor Brewer that it was
owing to my dilatory tactics that the
break occurred or that l was in any
way to blame for it is uncalled for
untrue and absolutely without founda
tion in fact.

Greenville, Miss, Jan. 27.-At a late
hour Sunday evening the crevasse in
the Beulah levee was widening, but
very slowly, having reached the width
of 200 feet and pouring out at depth
of six feet Train service on the Riv-
erside division of the Yazoo & Mis-
sissippi Valley railroad, running within
a few miles of the Beulah levee, had
not been interrupted.
There is no report of any lives be-
ing lost, as the water is spreading
very slowly, filling up the depressions
and the natural streams. The planters
in the Bogue Phalia Basin have been
preparing for the emergency, and lit
tie loss of stock and cattle is antici-
pated. Efforts will be made to tie
the ends of the levee at the break,
and as the levee is constructed of stiff
buckshot earth the belief is expressed
that the crevasse will not widen to
any great extent.
The serious feature of the break is
the fact that coming this early the
chances are that it cannot be closed
during the high water season, which
may last until May, and the expense
of caring for stock and labor in the
overflowed section in idleness for two
or three months will be heavy and a
great burden.
West Goes to Break.
Captain Charles M. West, of the
Mississippi river commission, from the
Beulah break, reports the crevasse
widening very slowly, and efforts are
being made by government engineers
in charge to tie the ends, with indi-
cations of success. Captain West con-
ferred with Major Woodruff, Unit-d
United States Corps of Engineers, and
advised him in regard to the best
methods to pursue in regard to hand
ling the crevasse in the future. Cap
tain West does not believe the dam
age to the country will be anything
to compare with that of last year.
He left last night for the crevasse.

New York, Jan. 27.-General Daniel
F. Sickles remained undisturbed in
his home Sunday, an order for his ar
rest issued in Albany remaining in
the hands of Sheriff Hamburger, who
decided upon receiving it not to serve
it until Monday. The sheriff said last
night that he would execute today the
order for the generals arrest, unless
the sum of $23,476, for which he has
failed to account, it is charged, as
chairman of the New York monument
commission, is paid before the sher-
iff's deputies reach the Sickles home
on their errand. The sheriff believed,
however, that the friends of General
Sickles would furnish bail and the
alternative of placing the old soldier
in Ludlow street Jail would not be
forced
A movement to raise by subscrip.

Special to Times Republican.
Ames, May 29.-Iowa bankers to the
number Of 500 and more came to col
lege for half an afternoon yesterday
and this is the chief lesson they learned,
as expressed by the retiring president
of the Iowa Bankers Association, G. 8.
Shade:
We've learned that Iowa people have
built greater institution in Iowa State
College than many Of them know" said
Mr. Shade. "The people of the state
will never appreciate just how big the
institution is until they come and visit
It. These buildings and this campus
are magnificent had no idea Of the
immensely Of the college or of the char
acter Of the work done here"
1t took nine denaely packed coaches
to bring the 500 members of the bank
ers'a association to Ames from their
convention at Deg Moines. They ar
rived over the interurban shortly after
o'clock and then followed a tour of
inspection. The dairy building proved
a popular place for there thirsty Wis
cream and the world famed CONNECTION
invented at the college, "lacto." At 4
o'clock the guests witnessed the drill
naneuver Of the college cadets.
President r. A. Pearson made q brief
speech Of greeting to the bankers in the
auditorium Of agricultural hall He ex-
pressed appreciation of the vital inter
est Of the bankers in the college and
also spoke briefly Of the purposes Of
the institution. Its purposes are clear
ly defined by the national and state
laws under which 1t was established"
he said, and these provide for thor
ough technical instruction. 1t Is not
proposed to go outside the technical
field, the legislature proposes to
strengthen this work and has acted
wisely in providing for development
along technical lines"
In their morning session at Des
Moines the bankers adopted resolutions
favoring the gathering Of funds to send
rural teachers to attend the summer
school and short courses at Iowa State
College to get training for teaching
agriculture and home economics.
George Woodruff, banker Of Joliet,
Ill. addressed the bankers on Rural
credit systems in Europe" advocating
the formation Of small cooperative
banks and the adoption of long time
loans.
At the. close of the afternoon the
young women of the home economies

the visitors on the campus.
