LONDON, Feb. 14.- London to Paris without change 1T railway coaches loaded directly cnto cross channel ferries, is to be an innova- ton by next fall in European travel. The change from boat train to ferry will be eliminated. So too will the double handling of baggage from train to boat and back again.
 Beam Lessons Pitching
 Three new steamers. each to car " 12 passenger cars. have been built by the Southern Railway company for the new service. The boats are exceptionally wide-beamed in order to gain stability in channel storms.
 Locks are being built which will permit the loading of heavy rolling stock onto the boats d spite the rise and fall of the tide varying from 10 to 20 feet, on both sides of the channel. Inclined landing slips from quayside to ferry have been judged impracticable.
 Tunnel Talk Squelched
 The new boats will be capable oi 16 knots, are coal burning, and vii be used for through freight as well as passenger service.
 While airplane travel has done much to close the gap between Eng land and the continent the problem. of more direct land transportation are still being considered.
 Talk of tunnel under the chan mel has been prevalent at variou, times, and is'considered entirely feas. ible from engineering viewpoints, bui the British war office objects tC such a project.

House Business Suspended
Representative O'Connor CD Of
New York, chairman of the House
Rules Committee, proposed Bank
heads election as Speaker in the
House this morning. The speedy
choice was necessary to permit the
House to perform its legislative
functions.
Bankhead was named permar
nent Speaker rather than Speaker
pro telnpore. He will hold office
however, only until the new Con-
greSS assumes power January 3.
1887.
In its only other action today,
the House empowered O'Connor
to move a recess at any time so
that business can be suspended
during the funeral and during the
Republican national convention.
Adjournment was ordered sub
ject to the call of the Speaker.
Named by O'COnnOr
AS the House convened at II
o'clock, virtually every member
was in his seat and the galleries
were packed.
South Trimble, clerk Of the
House, called the assembly to
order and formally announced the
death of Speaker Byrns, and called
for resolutions naming permar
nent or temporary successor.
Representative O'Connor arose.
He said:

Somewhat after the fashion of
a SNOWFALL rolling down hill. the
La n d on # President boom
charged along today picking up
delegates here and there and con-
vincing political observers that the
Kansas governor will be q first
ballot nominee to oppose Presi-
dent Roosevelt in November
The Landon managers, among
them young red-headed John -.
M. Hamilton, who is slated Ia be
the campaign director. are mod
7estIy claiming ''about $50 dele
gates" on the first ballot, Actu-
ally, they know they have more
than that number, and actually
think there is to be a first bal
lot nomination, in the best Re
publican tradition.
Most Republican nominees for
the presidency have been named
on the first ballot. It gives an
atmosphere of solidarity and unity
that the Republicans like.
See No Chance for Slip
The Landon managers can see
no slip "twixt the cup and the
lip" They have counted noses
East, West, North and South
and they are confident there can
be nothing wrong with their fig.
ureS. They were confident be-
fore j. Henry Roraback, Connecti-
cut leader and one of the Oldest
of the old guardSmen, came out
for Landon.
They interpreted Roraback'S
endorsement of Landon as a tacit
admission that the So-called "old
guard" could not beat the Kan
san. When Indiana came along
yesterday and virtually pledged
% votes to Landon they privately
proclaimed it "all over but the
shouting"
Impartial observers were inclined
to agree with them, even though
politics is leckoned an uncertain
business, subject to change with
very little notice.
Seek Running Mate
But it is significant-almost
week before the convention opens
that the Landon people are talk

than of the presidency. Off

theirs. Unoffically, they are weigh

Asked whether he was at the
murder scene on the fatal night
of May II last, Davis replied:

"Did you see the shots fired?"
"NO," he said, with straight
face.
Davis impressed me in the one
hour interview as being evasive,
to put it mildly. He certainly
wasn't giving himself the worst OF
it. He talked freely enough, but
he seemed nervous and fidgety.
He was coatless and wore brown
vest over a cream colored shirt.
He is 80, tall, slim, with brown
hair and dark eyes that peer
piercingly from beneath heavy
eyebrows. His facial expression
is a trifle Sardonic.
