 Although J. l.. Latham sent for Solic- itor Black yesterday morning. and was closeted with him for sometime, he did not make any statement which would cording to the solicitor. Latham wanted Solicitor Black to en- ter into an agreement with him that he would not prosecute him, and when the solicitor declined, he refused to divulge any information as to the getaway.
 He talked freely of what he and his confederates did after they got out to the woods near Owenton, and reiterated statements made to an Age-Herald re- porter that none of the party ever got into an automobile.
 MADE NO STATEMENT
 However, when questions were asked regarding the method of escape and the possession of pistols and guns by the escaped prisoners, Latham refused to answer, according to Solicitor Black.
 The authorities at the hospital, realiz- ing about o'clock that Latham could not live long. phoned to MT. Black and he with Assistant Solicitor Welch was on the way to the hospital when Latham died.

In the Woman's Home Companion there is an article about motoring in which the writer says.

When drawing up at a street side, she cuts off ignition early and allows momentum to carry the car to the stopping place. using the service brake usually.

The Senate organized and adopted it's anti-flibuster rule during the recent ex- tra session. House leaders say their con- test will be settled promptly regardless of political results. so that both branches may get down to business within a few days after they assemble.
 A joint session to hear the address of the President may be held without wait ing for the House organization This course is held to be legal and prob ably would serve to hasten action in the House.
 In spite of their determination to bring about a quick conclusion, neither demo- crats nor republicans intend to surrender without a fight. Majority Leader Kitchin from his home in Scotland Neck, N. C., today sent out a call for a democratic caucus on Friday, March 30, at Il a. m. Calls for republican and so-called inde- pendent conferences are expected to fol- low
 DEMOCRATS SOLID
 Democrats, it is declared, will caucus solidly, despite the unpleasantness which arose over the prohibition fight in the dy- ing days of the last Congress. The re- publicans because of the opposition to caucus rules among the progressive ele- ment, probably will only confer. The five independents already have agreed to con- fer informally before the session.
 Both big parties are expected to dis cuss emergency plans for organizing the house along bipartisan lines, or changing the present rules which require 21S votes, a majority of the total membership, to elect speaker.
 As each side it is generally agreed will have total membership of only PA on the opening day, it would be necessary under present rules for the winning party to attract four of the five independents Many republicans are opposed to the bal ance of power to rest with the independ- ents and any proposed plan which would eliminate them from the fight would re- ceve hearty reception in the republican conference. Some democrats have ex- pressed themselves as favoring a change in the rules as to permit less than a majority of the membership to elect. This has been done on two occasions in 1909 and 1873
 Calling of the special session today made the independents a much greater factor in the organization plans than they would have been if the session had rot convened until April 16, as originally

of a certain number of congressman

court of the state of New York the

of Governor Ferguson of Texas; the

Philadelphia: the claim that Governor
Cats was elected by the use of faint

Since in his frequen: references to

take the trouble to explain precise
ly what he means by the capitalist

the necessary definition The capital
istic press embraces all those aban-
doned newspapers which adhere to the
government and people of the United
States and denounce conspiritors and
copperheads, whether they are Ger
man spies or German senator's
There is another press. not capital
istic. which engages in no such rep
hensible practices. Some of its
conductors are under indictment for
treason, some of them are known to
have German money in their pockets.
and practically all of them are in
agreement with the Wisconsin sena-
tor that this is a capitalistic war on
our part. that the army and navy are
capitalistic, and that we are to fight
solely in the interest of capital. with
no excuse better than a technicality
Accepting Senator LaFollette's
plain meaning, therefore, we are to
understand that aside from the Ger
man-American Alliance, the Friends
of Irish Freedom, the Peoples Peace
Council and their various journalist
ic and political agents, everybody in
Americ ais a bloodthirsty capitalist
inspired with a hellish purpose to
overthrow that grand old democrat

1t is claimed by military critics

is about the same 1t is superiority
in number of reserves that counts. Al
ready the English and French re-
serves far out-number the Germans
and evey American regiment that
goes to France increases that reserve
margin. Vivid proof of the scarcity
of loops is given by the failue of the
Germans to do anything more to dis
tracted Russia than stage a theatre
cal occupation of Riga. For. if it has
been the Prussian policy to encour-
age pacifism in Russia by refraining
from attacking her, why was Riga
taken? And if that policy has been
abandoned, why is not the whole Rus
sian line attacked? The natural an.
swer is that there are not enough
German reserves to do more than
barely hold the lines east and west.
