can victory came tonight, Representa- tive Doremus. of Michigan, chairman of the democratic congressional cam paign committee, after a conference with Secretary Humility at the White House. issued this statement:
 Two special congressional elections were held Tuesday, one in the seventh New Jersey and the other in the twelfth Massachusetts. In these two elections the democrats broke even. The seventh New Jersey district as recently gerrymandered is strongly re- publican and always has been. The late Representative Bremner, because of his tremendous personal popularity, was probably the only democrat who could carry the district If the demo- crats had succeeded there yesterday it would have been almost a miracle.
 "A resume Of the elections held during the past year shows an over wheming sentiment in favor of this administration. Since President Will son assumed office eight special con- gressional elections have occurred in widely separated sections and the democrats were successful in i've dis tricts.
 50 far as the New Jersey election is concerned the only observation war ranted by the result is that a strong republican district has gone republi- can"

PUBLIC HEARINGS ON CANAL TOLLS BILL
Administration Forces Are Sustained

In the meantime the committee will listen to various senators who havo offered substitute plans. for the fias repeal measure passed by the house. These proposals ranged from posi- tive declarations of the right of the United States to exempt any and all of it's shipping as proposed by Senator Gailinger. minority leader, to Senator Norris suggestion that the matter be made the subject of arbitration.
 The committee entered into no dis cussion of the merits of the bill it. self. A long standing rule that com mittee meeting should be secret was put aside and the discussion thrown open to the public, but a few sena- tors, a group of school girl tourists and the newspaper men were tira only persons to take advantage of the departure from precedent.
 In the senate the repeal fight occu- pied the entire day, although the form a1 presentation of the matter will lot
 
 mittee hearings and its deliberations.
 The first roll call on the general subject was taken on motion to re- fer to the foreign relations commit tee a/resolution offered by Senator Poindexter asking that the president explain what matters he had in mind in writing in his repeal message of matters of even greater delicacy and nearer conseuQnence" and what con- nection these matters might have with the Panama canal regulation and tolls Tho administration forces by a vote of 35 to 27 sent the resolution to the committee, seven democrats voting in the negative and nine republicans in the affirmative.
 The senate adopted without dissent 8 resolution offered by Senator Brandegee calling for all correspand- ence relative to the negotiations for the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. It was stated that substantially all of this matter already was in print in senate documents

Lawler, democrat, by a plurality Of b4 votes, out of a total of approximately 16.- 900 cast.

 The mixup concerning the voting machine in the fourth ward, has caus- ed almost endless discussion among the crowds that thronged the streets. The crowds in front of the newspa ger offices were the largest. at. any recent municipal election.
 AS an aftermath of the election, thre arrests were made in East Hartford for alleged violation Of the excise laws. As the saloons in the city were closed, there was a large outpouring over the bridge to East Hartford, where it Is said the cafes did an unusually heavy business.

Posse Kills
 Two Bandits
HAD ROBBED BANK AT NEW
 HAZELTON, B. c.
6 MEN WERE IN HOLDUP
Band Had Operated in Other Cities of The Northwest-Pursuit is Still in Progress.

New Hazelton, B. C., April Two bandits were killed here today in a battle between a band of robbers and large posse of citizens after the robbery of the Union Bank of Canada branch. Six men held up the bank and four took SLIGO cash. A posse is pursuing them.
 The bank, a substantial building of log construction, had been opened only a few minutes for business to- day when the robbers appeared. Two men armed with rifles sauntered up woods at the rear of the bank and two more came from another direction. The first two stepped inside the doors and with rifles raised, called out: Hands up." The four others appear ed and took up positions outside the bank
 The only customer in the bank was John Gaslin, manager for a contract ing firm. Gaslin had a sheaf of checks and postal orders in his hand and $50 in cash. One robber relieved Gaslin of his cash, then reached over the teller's desk and took all the cur rency within reach.
 AS the bandits backed out the clerks reached for their pistols and the rob bers fired several shots.
 Fenton, a bookkeeper. suffered 8 slight wound.
 Robbers Always Unn1asked.
 Vancouver B. C., April 7-The band of robbers which came to grief at New Hazleton today is supposed to have been the one which in the last year has robbed banks at New Hazleton, B. C., Granite Falls, Wash, Abbotts- ford, B. C., and Elma, Washn.
 It was the custom of the gang to appear at 8 bank during business hours and compel the tellers to hand over all the money in their cages. The robbers were always unmasked and were garbed like loggers or railroad laborers.
 After the four roberies, no one who saw the robbers could give a good description of them.
 After each of the four robberies the men headed ostentatiously for the woods. but it is evident they had means. of flight arranged, for they were never intercepted. Instead, the posse were soon firing at one another, as was the case after the Elma, robbery lsest month, when the robbers escaped with s4,28O.

CRISIS IN OUR
 POPULAR GOVERNMENT
Former President Taft Defends Our
 Judiciary.

Boston. April I've are at crisis with respect to the form of our popu- lar government" Prof. William H. Taft told law students of Boston uni- versity today.
 We find a formidable movement throughout the country" he continued, toward 8 destruction of its represent ative character, and the reversIon to an old type that in the history of the world has proved a failure, called pure democracy. But more radical and dangerous than this is the effort being made to subordinate our courts in their administration of justice to rules of decision and standards of equitp and justice that are to be determined arbitrarily by the hasty vote of an electorate"

 Albany, N Y, April 7-If Secretary Josephus M. Daniels had issued his "dry'' order for the navy several weeks hence he would have saved three state officials worry over what kind of a silver service shall be purchased for the battleship New York,
 At the last session of the legisla- ture a bill appropriating s10,G00 for the purchase of silver servise for the new ship was passed and a few days later the governor signed it. Thus did he also make himself, Lieutenant Governor Wagner and Speaker Sweet responsible for the selection of the present.
 Today the governor was in quandary over the whole proposition.
 We may have to eliminate the punch bowl and substitute pickle dish" he said.
 He hopes that either the lieutenant governor or the speaker. will be able to suggest 8 way out of the difficulty.
