the November IS special session

Election night, the President

second, to eliminate the former
President as a guiding voice in
party affairs.
BROUGHT INTO OPEN
Senator William E. Borah'S sav-
age attack on the Hoover-proposed
conference as "a flat usurpation
Of power" brought into the open
a situation that has been agitat-
ing Republican circles for weeks.
Borah's condemnation of the
proposition was aimed directly at
Hoover, and he had the support of
a great majority of Republicans
now in Congress-.

BORAH'S ATTACK
ON COP PARLEY
IDEA ANSWERED
Hamilton FaCetious In
Reply to Senator
By RUSSELL F. ANDERSON

BY RUSSELL r. ANDEhSON
CHICAGO, Nov. 4 UN.SO.-An'
swering Senator Borah's criticism
of a mid-term COP convention,
Chairman John Hamilton of the
Republican national committee
said today:
"It will be the millennium,
when Borah says anything af-
firmatively for the Republican
party"
Borah, in a Washington state
ment, denounced the proposed
1888 convention, warning that any
declaration of party principles
growing out Of such a parley
would be "jeered from the Allan
tic to the Pacific"
HAMILTON ON FENCE
The 1888 convention idea al
ready has been approved by the
executive committee OF the Re-
publican National Committee, and
tomorrow the full committee votes
on the proposal.
Although Hamilton has preVl-
ously been quoted as favoring the
mid-term parley. the chairman
today declined to come out openly
in favor of it.
The Republican party has to
take some action and get con.
structive program under way"
Hamilton said. II don't know
what form this action will take"
Hamilton said he had not polled
the National Committee and did
not know its sentiments regarding
the idea.
FAVORS OPEN FIGHT
IT personally am committed
to no plan, an open fight would
do us good" Hamilton said.
There has been a movement on
part of some of the committeeman,
it was learned, to have the issue
decided in secret.
AS the committeeman assembled,
Joseph w. Martin Of Massachu-
sets. chairman Of the Republican
National Congressional Commit
tee, sought to line up delegates
against the conclave. He minced
no words:
1.-THE proposed midterm con-
vention, I believe, will be ma
jor political blunder, and harm
full to the welfare of the country.
1t will give the opposition a
chance to escape from their
present defensive position. More
over, it may result in weakening
the fight in Congress against
unwiSe legislation"
CITES BUNKER HILL
"When the packing Of the Su-
preme Court was proposed. some
who now urge the call of a con-
vention sought to make it a
political issue. Congressional
leaders concluded otherwise and
now everybody agrees the deci-
sion was wise. The proposal was
defeated and the Republican
party received its fair share of
the credit.
Like the men at Bunker HILL"
he said. I'VE can afford to wait
until we see the whites of their
eyes before firing"

principles.
BORAH HEATED
In his attack, Borah said:
I'VE have heard a great deal
about usurpation and dictator
ship il. recent years. There
could be no greater usurpation
or dictatorship in politics than
for a few self,selected, self
elected, Self-accredited men un-
dertaking to fix the principles
and policies for 1900, 900 voters
without having consulted the
voters or received their indorse-
ment in any way"

RICH STRIKE AT
SHATTUCK DEM

BISBEE, Jan 8-The develop
ment program which has been in
progress for some months at the
Shattuck-Denn mine, BiSbee, is re-
ported to have opened one Of the
richest ore bodies yet found in the
district.
Development work on the 2,430-
foot level has proved an ore body
12O feet wide, 400 feet long, and
with an established depth OF 80 feet.
However, diamond drilling in this
same area has penetrated ore at
least 200 feet below, which takes 1t
slightly beyond the next, or 1850
level.
The ore mined is said to contain
above 80 per cent copper, with an
additional value of some four cents
to eight cents for each pound OF

than eight per cent.
Production Increases
Within the last two months
Shattuck-Denn has increased it's
production from 1000 to approx
mately 5000 tons of copper ore
monthly and the number Of en-
ployes has been increased to 156
men.
Most of the production is coming
from stopping on the 2,100 level and
from development of the ore body
on the 1890 and 2,400 levels by
means of drifts and crosscuts.
Within the next 80 days production
will be raised to 10000 tons monthly
and IS additional men placed on the
pay roll.
Shaft Is 2,7OO Feet Deep
The area now under development
is reached by means of the DEM
shaft, a foW-compartment, con-
crete-lined shaft which has been
sunk to depth of 2,700 feet. The
Dividend fault traverses the DEM
property for about. 4,50O feet in an

his plan to revamp the Supreme
Court. It is the Presidents thought
that many members Of the Legisla-
lures are lawyers and some Of them
practice before the Supreme Court
and that their leanings would be
toward the court. Many Of the mem
bers of Congress, too, who are op-
posing the bill are lawyers.
Chairman Summers Of the House Ju-
dietary Committee. when he was asked
why the committee meeting set for to-
day had been postponed, replied:
The visibility is not good; the
barometer Is low, and wind is not In
the right direction, so we decided not
to take of today"
He said that perhaps the at
mosphere will clear by next Tuesday"
At the White House today it was
disclosed that the President had begun
work on his judiciary program soon
after his reelection, and that he held
a first conference with the Attorney
General in regard to 1t at Hyde Park
along about November 8.
Senators opposing the Presidents
court plan said today that opposition
votes in the Upper House have mounted
to 80, and that they expected this op-
position to be increased by 20 more
Senators. If that should happen the
Presidents chances in the Senate
would not be so good. About 80 Sem
atorS have declared themselves in
favor Of the reorganization plan. A
lot are still on the fence, however.
Senate Bill Offered.
A bill for the retirement of Supreme
Court justices differing slightly from
the Summers measure in the House,
was offered in the Senate today by
Senator Andrews, Democrat, Of Florida,
and referred to the Judiciary Commit
tee for study. The Andrews measure
would place the age limit at u. 1t
also provides that after retiring, the
justice could not thereafter be as
signed to judicial service, whereas un-
der the House bill the Chief Justice
would have authority to assign those
past retirement age to judicial duties

gress on judiciary reorganization.
incidentally, neither Of these recon-
mendations Is cared for in the draft
of the bill for judiciary reorganization
sent to the Capitol by the President.
Unless it Is planned to amend the
administration bill by adding these
provisions, it Is clear that separate
bill will have to be enacted dealing
with them. In some quarters 1t was
urged that the President objected to
having his program dealt with "in
pieces"
Whatever the reason, the White
House put its foot down and halted
the bill in the House yesterday.
Chairman Summers, who had said both
bills would be considered, admitted as
much later.
A meeting Of the House Judiciary
Committee, called for this morning,
was postponed The next regular
meeting of the committee falls on
Tuesday. The Presidents program
probably will come up for considera-
ton at that meeting, including the
bill which was held up yesterday.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is
due to meet Monday. With meetings
of the two committees which have
charge of the President judiciary bill
over until next week, the campaign
for and against the bill was continued
today briskly, but in conferences with
individual members of Congress.
Many Messages Received.
At the White House it was said
that large number of messages had
been received already regarding the
judiciary bill. None of them were
made public, but it was said that the
favorable messages were about to to
l in proportion to the number that
we're unfavorable.
Among the Presidents callers today
was a group representing the Roose-
velt Agricultural Committee, formed
last June to aid the President in his
campaign for reelection. The Presi-
dent discussed the judiciary bill with
them. 1t seems clear he hopes to have
the farmers and labor line up with him
on this measure, no matter what the
lawyers may do. William Settle of
Indiana, chairman Of the committee
and William Bradley Of Iowa, secre-
tary, were among those present at the
conference. After leaving the Presi-
dent, Settle said
I'VE are in full sympathy with the
Presidents effort to bring the judiciary
up to date. Until the judges can
recognize that agriculture is not a
local problem, there is great need of
that being done. because agriculture
II there ever was national problem,
is one. 1t is not local. Any school
boy knows that"
The Supreme Court nullified the old

sions.
