Washinyton. April THE forcing
Of the confirmation Of Winthrop Dan
iels as a member of the interstate
commerce commission over the oppo-
sition Of the senate Progressives was
characterized by Sci ator Kenyon to-
day as an outrage
Kenyon declared. however, that one
good thing had been accomplished by
the fight on Daniels He said secret
sessions Of the senate had been given
death blow.
Never again win appointments be
made without full knowledge on the
part Of all concerned that what is said
in senate session will be made pub
lie, declared Kenyon.
Nine members of the senate, headed
by Senator La Toilette, openly revolt
ed against proceedings behind closed
doors last night, after an executive
session in which the senate. by a vote
OF 81 to 27, confirmed the nomination
Of Winthrop NJ. Daniels Of New Jer-
sey TO be member of the interstate
commerce committee. Senator La
Toilette declared on the floor that he
proposed to defy the rules of the sen
ate in future and discuss publicly leg
islation not affecting foreign relations,
and later il was announced that Sena-
tors Bristow, Cummings, Clapp, Ken
yon, Norris. Jones and Gronna, Repuh-
licans, and Poindextere. Progressive,
would maintain the same attitude.
The reolt created something of a
sensation and there was much specu-
lation as to the effect it would have
upon future executive sessions. The
general opinion was that there would
be no attempt to take action against
members who disregarded the rule o.
secrecy.
Confirmation Of Commissioner Dan
iels closed three day fight, marked
by one Of the bitterest debates heard
at the capital in years Both sides
contested determinedly. Mr. Daniels
advocates having the support of Pres
ident Wilson'S well known desire that
his appointee and personal friend be
confirmed without delay.
Opponents to the confirmation based
their objection OH the ground that Mr.
Daniels views on the valuation OF
public service property were unsound.
As during the two preceding days.
senators continued to insist that Mr.
Daniels ideas, as expressed in the
decision OF the New Jersey public SER
ice commission, of which he was chair
man, in the Passaie Gas case, would
make him dangerous as a member Of
the interstate commerce commission
at time when the commission was
fixing valuation on railroad property.

Mexican policy before the American

lofty idealism which bears no relation
with the present possibilities Of Mex

cannot expect peaceful solution as
long as the president continues his
policy Of attempting to subject Huerta
to the scorn Of the world. He suggest
ed that Wilson should remove the in

officials here do rot figure that any large

say that generally the stock is held In

Union Pacific men are OF the opinion
that the Union Pacific corporation will
not be benefited by the change, except
in the matter OF getting rid of lot of
surplus. They take it that the transfer
of the Baltimore q Ohio stock among
Union Pacific stockholders means that
for all time there will be reduction Of
Union Pacific dividends. which practi-
cally ever since the reorganization and
Hartman control have been at the rate
OF 10 per cent, payable quarterly.
Union Pacific officials here. while they
do not pretend to speak for the members
