WITH TAFT, SAY ALL
INSUBGENfS LOYAL.
Administration Soincuhaf Sus
pirioms of Their Professions.
[From Th» Tribune Bureau.]
Washington. Jan. While the Presi
dent's determined attitude toward those in
mrj:*»nts who have pursued a policy, of ob
struction to the policies of his administra
tion was confirmed on all sides, to-day, no
member of that bellieerent band could be
found who would say that he Intended to
oppose Mr. Taft's legislative programme In
any way. It was readily seen that the ac
tion of Mr. Hitchcock In withholding, ap
pointments recommended. by .members
notably dissatisfied with the administra
tion'? measures. brought all those members
to their senses and showed them that if
they insisted on remaining without the
breastworks of their nartv they could not
expert favors from the leaders of that
party. .
The MS] Influential insurgents still re
fuse to believe that the President contem
plates discriminating against them in any
way. They/say that he Is perfectly justi
fied in ascertaining the course which they
will take .before he confers favors on them,
snd that the practice. of consulting mem
ber* of Congress on postmastershlps is dis
tinctly a favor. The only adverse com'me.nt
on the President's position comes from one
or two men, who insist that he is being In
fluenced jbv.Speaker Cannon and the House?
organization, .and that . he will assist "the '
Speaker to punish the insurgents in every
way possible.
BUT WILL FIGHT CANNON-
Conversations with the chief insurgent?
eeainst the rules make II apparent that
they intend to support President Taft. Rep
resentative "Hayes, the chairman of the in
* , surfrents. said to-day: "I do not believe that
the President contemplates the withholding
of patronage, from those who have been
fifhUr.jr Speaker Cannon and the rules. I
»m convinced that he will not interfere in
that fight, and I do not believe that he in
tends to discriminate against any member?
of the House unless he feels that a member
is obstructing measures which will redound
to the pood- of . the party.. He has had my
assurance* that I. intend support his pro
gramme, and from what 1 know of the
other insurgents they are. "entirely in ae
rord with him. I intend to see him myself
within a few days and ascertain from him
the exact situation." . ...
Representative Madison, of Kansas, an
indomitable insurgent against the House
rules, expressed similar, views. "The word
insurgent, as used by the President's ad
visers, must be clearly defined before I
will place myseif,in that body," he said.
"If It means that I am against Speaker
•"annon and the rules, I will cheerfully be
so classed, but if it means that I am op
posed to the President and his programme
1 repudiate it. The insurgents have always
stood for the policies advocated by Presi
dent Taft. such as conservation, amend
ments to the interstate commerce law and
to the anti-trust law, a parcels post and
frwiniiij There will undoubtedly be a
division on the question of ship subsidy,
but 1 am sure that the President is too
broad a mail to attempt to prevent an hon
est difference of opinion. So far as I am
concerned, I have no complaint to make of
the treatment I have received."
"Representatives Morris, of Nebraska;
Murdoch, of Kansas; Cooper,, Nelson and
l.<iil«>iit. of Wisconsin, and others, spoke in
the same strain.
Friends of the administration are in
.lined to view with suspicion the eleventh
hour conversion of some of these men.
They say that reports from Wisconsin, for
instance, show that Representatives Nelson
and L<*nroot have not been sparing in'criti
i ism of the a ministration, and have either
assisted or acquiesced In the course of
Senator La Follette in criticising Mr. Tift
and members of his Cabinet.
Add'-d to the general chorus of protesta
tiens of loyalty to the President was the
somewhat subdued voice of Representative
Miller, of Minnesota, whose repetition of
his personal conversation with the Post
master (lenf-ral trought about the entire
discussion. Mr. Miller said that he sup
ported the President's programme and
would continue bis fight on Speaker Can
non. When this statement was repeated
lo several of bis insurgent colleagues they
smiled grimly, and two of them declared
Drat Uh> hfinnesotan was a "trimmer," that

THE 2> A y I ft WA SHIJVG TOJV
I From The Tribune Bureau, j
Washington. Jan. s.— Conservation «f
natural resources, the B;tlliiiP Oi "-P inrnot
controversy and the rapidly approaching
investigation thereof and the Bseessfty ttt
a broad revision of the public land laws
occupied the centre of the legislative stage
to-day in both houses of Congress. Aside
from the unfortunate personalities and
misrepresentations which have served so
largely to obscure the merits of these ques
tions, there is reason to believe that com
prehensive and much needed legislation
will result. Senator Nelson's bill intro
duced in the Senate to-day provides for im
portant changes in the land laws in con
nection with the recommendations of the
President and ■utilOHrj Pa'linger for the
leasing of coal lands, the separation of tim
ber and mineral deposits from the surface,
which proposition was made by Mr. Bal
linger in 1907, and the conservation of water
power sites. Mr. Nelson's bill, which has
been framed in the light of the difficulties
confronting the officials charged with the
care of the public domain, will, if enacted,
maKe a great improvement iji the body of
the law. and will doubtless insure legisla
tive authority for all the conservation
Which the most enthusiastic but reasonable
conservationists can ask.
President Taft sent to the Senate to-day
the nominations of the men he has selected
for the new customs court, all of whom
were forecast in The Tribune this morn-
Ing. It is generally remarked that the high
character arwl recognized ability of the men
chosen augur well for the commanding
place the tribunal is destined to fill ln the
Judiciary of the nation, and it is believed,
n-^reover. that the existence of such a body
will go far to prevent the notable, not to
say peculiar, divergences in the interpreta
tion of tiie tariff laws which have occurred
in the past. There are rumors that the
Senate insurgents will oppose the confirma
tion of the new judges until the amount of
their salary has been determined, but at
most this can result only in slight delay in
their taking office.
The Secretary of the Treasury has struck
a responsive cord in the breasts of all of
his colleagues by his suggestion that Con
gress should authorize members of the Cab
inet to designate a secretary to sign for
them the mass of routine papers, the sign
ing of which occupies so much valuable
time and makes such irksome labor. The
joke about the Secretary who once inquired
the contents of a paper presented for hig
signature and was told by an imperious
negro messenger to "put your name on the
bottom line. That is all you need to do.
Mr. Secretary," while possibly an exaggera
tion, was founded on fact. There are few
members of the Cabinet who have any ade
quate idea of the contents of documents to
which they attach their signatures. They
are compelled by the great number of these
papers to rely almost entirely on the ini
tials of the subordinates to whom their
preparation is intrusted, and there seems to
be no good reason why a "signing secre
tary" should not be clothed with authority
to sign the name of the head of the depart
ment to all documents bearing the proper
Initials.
One of the most difficult phases of the
negotiations growing out of the maximum
and minimum tariff law which confronts

NEW-YORK DAILY TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, lIAM AI{V r> 1!l1 °
"'"' Tariff Board and the Department of
State concerns so-called sanitary inspection
"V Germany of American fpod products.
Oermany has always insisted on a system
of rigid inspection, especially of American
meats, which has* been regarded by the
authorities of thls^overnment as a form" of
protection i!< disguise. Indeed, the first
p t p ps taken by the federal government tow
ard inspection of livestock and meats were
instituted with a view to counteracting the
course of Grermany. German citizens were
believed to be unalterably opposed to a
heavy tariff on food products, but. so rigid
were the sanitary laws that they seriously
interfered with the importation of Ameri
can products and whatever may have been
the intention of the German authorities
they operated as a decidedly effective form
of protection. American inspection result
ed in some modification of the German
laws, but not sufficient to satisfy American
livestock raisers, and there is a disposition
on the part of the Tariff Board to regard
the existing regulations at German ports as
undue discrimination. The situation is
taxing the diplomatic abilities of the Ger
man Ambassador and the officials of I lie
Department of State to the utmost.
Members of Congress and officials of the
administration who are exerting every
effort to obtain an absolutely just and im
partial investigation of the Ballinger-Pin
chot controversy are vehement In their ex
pressions of disgust over the course taken
by Senator I^a Kollette through his maga
zine. Advices received here to-day say
that the Wisconsin Senator has prejudged
the investigation even before It begins,
that lie characterizes it as a "whitewash"
arranged by Senator Aldrich. Speaker Can
non and Secretary Ballinger, and clearly
intimates that the entire administration,
including the President and his Attorney
General, are parties to a scheme to obscure
the facts and deceive the public. It is
realized, of course, ttjat Such opposition as
this cannot be met. and It is sincerely
hoped that an intelligent public will give
the subject sufficient thought to realize the
injustice of such prejudgment. It is hardly
necessary to add that by such conduct Mr.
La Follette makes inevitable that con
temptuous treatment by the Executive of
which he complains so bitterly.
There is marked interest in Washington.
not to say in administration circles. In the
report from Minnesota that Frank B. Kel
logg will be an active candidate for the
seat in the Senate now occupied by Mr.
Clapp, whose, term expires a year hence.
Ii is generally felt that Mr. Kellogg, whose
legal services have already proved of much
value to the government and who deserves
credit for the recent important decision
rendered by the circuit Court in the Stand
ard Oil case, would be a valuable addition
to the Senate. Despite the fad that mem
bership of the upper house Includes a great
number of lawyers, there are comparatively
few whose legal ability commands great
respect, and extremely few who have at
tained anything like the standing in their
profession reached by Mr. Kellogg. It Is
felt that not only would he add greatly to
the honor and standing of the Minnesota
delegation, but that his energies and abil
ities would prove of the utmost value to
the Senate in framing important legislation.

MANN BILL PASSED.
House Votes to Abolish Isth
mian Canal Commission.
I From The Tribune Bureau |
Washington. Jan. s.— After a long and
tedious debate, in which the Democrats
consumed most of the time, the Mann bill
providing for a change In the government
of the Panama Canal Zone was passed by
the House to-day. L,ate in the afternoon
the indications were that a vote would not
be taken. Many Republicans left the (*ap
ltol. and it was with great difficulty that a
quorum could be maintained. On the final
vote the Republicans had 119 and the Dem
ocrats 102.
The bill provides for the abolition of the
Isthmian ('anal Commission and the ap
pointment of a director general of the Canal
Zone, who shall have entire supervision.
This was favored in order that the author
ity might be centralised. The bill also
makes provision for a Supreme Court in
the zone, and gives the right of appeal to
the Supreme Court of the United States.

RESOLUTIONS PIT IX.
Investigation To Be Joint and
Ope n — ( Y> men atio n B tUt,
[From The Tribune Bureau ]
Washington. Jan. 5. I—ln1 — In both branches of
Congress measures Were taken to-day to
investigate thoroughly and impartially the
J facts jn the BalllnKer-Pinchot controversy.
It is settled that this Investigation will be
conducted by a joint committee* consising
of six Senators and six Representatives, of
! which Senator Nelson probably will be
chairman. It is the Intention of the lead-
I ers not to delay beginning this inquiry, and
it Is expected that in the course of ten
dS£-s the committee will be ready for work.
The liea rings will be open to the public,
and no effort will be spared to make the
i inquiry exhaustive in every way.
That the controversy between the Secre
tary of the Interior and the Chief Forester
has already produced results was apparent
to-day in the widespread interest in two
conservation bills which were introduced in
the Senate. One of them, by Mr. Cham
berlain, provides for the regulation and de
velopment of water power sites. The other,
by Mr. Nelson, outlines a plan which shall
govern the disposition of the public domain
In the future. This measure gives the Pres
ident, through the Secretary of the Interior,
authority to withdraw from entry, pending
action by Congress, any portion of the pub
lic domain which may be regarded as valu
able for water power, irrigation or forestry.
Mr. Nelson adopts the* recommendations of
Secretary Balling' r by providing in his bill
for the division of the public domain into
eijrht classes, as follows: Agricultural lands,
irrigable lands, dry farming lands, timber
lands, coal lands, mineral lands, national
forest lands and water power lands. The bill
prescribes the methods by which each of
the enumerated classes of lands is to be ac
quired or developed and aims to conserve
the resources of the nation without ham
pering legitimate private enterprise.
Identical resolutions ,to investigate the
Department of the Interior and the Forest
Sei-viee were Introduced in the Senate and
House. The Senate resolution was offered
by Mr. .loiies. who paid a tribute to Secre
tary Ballinger and said lie had made speci
fic recommendations regarding all im
portant conservation problems, and had
not dealt in glittering generalities. Mr.
Jones wanted ills resolution referred to the
Committee on Public Lands, but at the sug
gestion of Mr. Lodge it w«js ordered to lie
on the table until to-morrow.
In the House. Itepresentative Humphrey,
who introduced the resolution for the ap
pointment of a committee of investigation,
spoke in the highest terms of Secretary
Ballinger as a fellow citizen of Seattle,
where, he said, nobody ever questioned his
integrity. He also praised Mr. Pinchot.
The Jones-Humphrey resolutions provide
that the investigation shall be made by a
committee of six Senators to be appointed
by the Vice-President anil six Representa
tives to be appointed by the Speaker. The
probable personnel of this committee is a
subject of considerable speculation. As
stated, it seems to be pretty well under
stood that Senator Nelson will be the chair
man. Senators Root, Sutherland and Flint.
Republicans, and Senators Paynter and
Hughes. Democrats, are prominently men
tioned as the Senate members of the com
mittee. Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, has
also been suggested as one of the probable
minority members of the committee. As the
House members of the committee the fol
lowing are mentioned: Representatives
Dalzell. McCall, Stevens and Martin. Re
publicans, and Representatives Sherley and
Howard, or Moon, Democrats.

THE COST OF LIVING
INQUIRIES OX WAY.
T*VO Resolutions in Senate—
m
Army Wants More Money: '
[From The Tribune Bureau. I
Washington, Jan. 6. — Two resolutions
were Introduced in the Senate to-day pro
elding for an investigation of the Increased
cost of living. Other resolutions of the
same character have been prepared, and it
Is evident that this question will > occupy
considerable of the attention of Congress
■'this winter.
The Rules Committee of the House will
meet to-morrow to take up a similar resolu
tion introduced by Representative Howland,
which provides for the appointment of a
select committee of six members to make a
! full inquiry Into the conditions affecting
the increase lit the 'price of necessaries.
The first Senate resolution introduced to
day was offered by Mr. Klkins. It pro
vides for the appointment of a commttee
of five Senators to make a comprehensive
Investigation of the increase In the cost of
living In the last ten year*. „ The commit
tee is also to Inquire whether wages and
incomes have kept pace with the increase in
prices. Wholesale and retail prices and
, their relations are to be considered, and
particularly the price of meats, grain, wool,
clothing, rents, building materials, etc. An
important provision is that if the Increased
' cost has been caused by any action of Con
gress or any monopoly, the committee shall
report with recommendations to relieve the
situation. - '.'/ - '
The second resolution was by Mr. Craw
ford, of South Dakota, who wants the De
partment of Commerce and Labor to make
a report on the increased cOBt #f living and
related matters. It asks for a report on
the percentage c*f increase' in the pr!««e of
food products and a large number of other
necessaries since 18%. Information is also
desired as to the increase in the production
of gold and the per capita coinage in the
last ten years.
The War Department announced to Con
gress to-day that there wan a deficiency of
$1,595,035 for the subsistence of the army in
the present year, mainly because of the en
hanced cost of food, and Secretary Wilson
declared he would c^ase his investigation if
Congress interfered. The army's plight was
set forth in an appeal for more funds to
feed, clot ac and maintain the force.
The petition was accompanied by a list pre
pared by the commissary general, showing
increases in many staples In Us! over tlie
prices of 190^.
The Senate passed Mr. Lodges bill ex
tending the present law regulating the ac
quisition of guano deposits, by American
citizens in unclaimed islands, so as to em
brace coal and oil deposits Tl»e measure is
to protect^ Americans who have discovered
larae deposits of coal in Spitsbergen.
Colonel James Gordon was sworn in as
the successor of Senator A. .1. MrlJUllin.
of Mississippi.
HIGH PRICE OF FOOD
Pittsburg Butchers Say Inspectors Con
demn Good Pork.
[By Telegraph to The Trlhun*. I
Pittsburg. Jan. B.— The price of live
hogs on the Pittsburg market reached $9
to-day. With this record price came
the announcement from butchers that they
have combined against the system of meat
inspection here and have asked the au
thorities at Washington to send special
men to examine condemned meat.
The butchers say they have been at the
mercy of the meat inspectors for seme
time, and that with hogs at $9 a hundred
weight they cannot afford to have good
meat condemned. Much meat which has
been condemned has been placed In cold
storage by the butchers, who ask that
competent men be sent from Washington
to examine it. They say that nothing but
the highest priced hogs will now pass mus
ter among the meat inspectors.

In Progress with Lots Added as Fast
as the First Lots Are Sold
Walking in from Broadway on the Main Floor of the
Old Building there are tables and tables of specially fine
White Sale underclothes, but the FLOOR OF WHITE,
the third of the Old Building, is a great exposition of the best
underclothes we have ever presented to Xew York. Among
French flowers are shown these lovely white garments of
beautiful materials, fine sewing, generous dimensions, durable
and attractive trimmings.
But anybody can buy good underclothes at Wana
maker's, any day' in the year. f IT IS THE PRICES.
THAT MAKE THIS WHITE SALE IMPORTANT
With cotton advancing as it is, it looks as though we should
have to charge much more for underclothes in the May sale. ;
It will be the part of wisdom to invest now for the entire
Summer. Women who understand the cotton market are
evidently doing this, for our sales are larger than ever before.
New White Sale Dresses for Girls
have just joined the White Sale on the second floor of the Old
Building. Everything fine about them from the sewing cotton to
the materials and embroideries. $1.25 to $5.75. •
Paris Lingerie
is being sold at incredible prices, until one recollects what great
quantities the Wanamaker Store ordered at one time. Embroidered
scalloped chemises start at 60c. Nightgowns with hand-embroid
ered scallops and ribbon beading start at $1.15.
: • Drawers start at 85c. Long petticoats start at $1.35.
Among White Sale Corsets
still a few of those exceptional values in well-made corsets — new
models. Also a large shipment of the best American corset, the
L. R., from $1 to $7.
As Wanamaker's Is Largest Retail
Importer of Linens
in the United States, it accounts for prices which a smaller store
could not possibly secure. .Buying three thousand dozen towels
from one man, a hundred thousand napkins from another, ten thou
sand dozen towels from another, allows us to sell $100,000 worth of
White Sale linens at about 20 per cent, less than our usual low
prices. Towels, toweling, table cloths, napkins.
More Books Added to the
Hurt Book Sale! '
Just to be sure everything in our regular Book Store is new
and fresh, we have gone over the shelves a second time and culled
out all the books that seemed to show even the slightest mar.
> ; i;. So notwithstanding the unusually heavy buying yesterday
there is pretty nearly as good a collection of Hurt Books for today
as there was yesterday.
You will not wonder these annual sales are so popular when
you see the prices on the books. Main floor. Old Building.
