toilette. Of Wisconsin, their recogniZ-
ed leader, still is confined to his home
and it was said today at his Office
that is he followed the advice of his
physician he would not attend the

A sharp fight developed today in
the Republican committee on COM
mittees, over assignments of sena
tors to the foreign relations commit
tee, before which is pending Presi-
cent Harding's proposal for Ameri-
can adherence to the World Coul
with reservations. President Coolidge
in his message to Congress yeterdov
endorsed participation of the Unit
ed States in the court with the ex-
pressed stipulation that America was
not to become involved in the League
of Nations.
Fully a score Of the 81 senate Re-
publicans asked for places on this
committee and it was reported that
the committee on committees had
narrowed the field to five-Lenroot
of Wisconsin; Willis of Ohio; Pepper
of, Pennsylvania; Edge of New Jer-

Three places are to be filled.

Senators johnson and Shipstead, the
two Farmer-Labor members from
Minnesota, will be taken care of in
committee assignments by the crea-
ton of additional places on the COM
mittees on which Republican leaders
determine they shall sit. Some sena-
tors are urging that Mr.. Shipstead
be given the extra place on the Tor
eign relations committee and Others
are asking that Mr. johnson be given
the extra place on the agriculture
committee.
Republican leaders have hoped to
have the committee assignments
ready for a party conference before
the senate meets Monday. but is is
said that unless more rapid progress
was made tomorrow than was possi-
BILE today this could not be accom-
plished. The Democratic committee
expects to complete it's work on
committees tomorrow.
On the house side the Republican
committee on committees at it's first
meeting decided to give the Demo-
F, Gratis increased representation on all
the standing committees except the
all-powerful rules committee. The
| minority will have four members as
against eight for the majority on
rules-the same ratio in effect during
the sixty seventh congress.
There will be eleven Democrats on
the Ways and Means committee to
fifteen Republicans, the commit
tees membership having been in
creased by one to assure Republi-

which will initiate any tax reduction

ment will be in the minority in the
neighborhood of 80 votes, as against
the combined opposition parties.
These figures, however, may vary
somewhat, according as different
compilers regard scattered members
as belonging to one or another of the
big parties.
1t is understood that Premier
Baldwin has summoned a meeting of
the cabinet for Monday to consider
the situation, and that a meeting of
the Conservative party to debate its
next step. and possibly to elect a new
leader to replace Mr.. Baldwin, will be
held in the course of the coming
week, as it is generally held that Mr..
Baldwin, whose policy the country
has rejected, will resign as premier.
in any case, owing to the unseating
of the minister of labor, and the min
lister Of agriculture. reconstruction of
the government is unavoidable unless,
as seems extremely likely, the whole
cabinet should resign with Mr.. Bald
win.

British Vote for
Free Trade Pleases
Maine Orchardists

The reports indicating an anti
protection verdict in the British gen.
eral elections Thursday gave the
Maine orchardists feeling of con-
fidence and they will now forward
their large shipments of Ben Davis
apples to England. Maine orchard
lists for four or five weeks have not
made any shipments of these apples
to England. fearing that the trade
protection program of Premier Bald
win would receive the majority vote,
which would be death blow to our
apple exports to that country.
State Horticulturist G. A. Yeaton
pointed out yesterday that England
is the best market for the Ben Da-
Wis apples of this State, and that
the result of the elections as indi-
Gated in the newspaper reports Fri
day morning was mighty pleasing to
the apple growers of Maine.
