USUAL DELUGE Ferryboat Is Sunk at Venice, 111., and Channels Are Completely Blocked on Two of Streams [Associated Tress] TOPEKA, kas., Jan. 13.—The Kansas river rose ten feet during the night and stood at is feet tins morning;. The bridges at Wlllard, Valencia and Le compton have been swept away. Ice jams were responsible. The Le compton bridge withstood the 1903 flood, but those at Willard and Valencia were destroyed and had been rebuilt. The gauge shows that the water reached its maximum height early this morning, and it is now falling slowly. The Ice gorge In the Kansas river reached Lawrence today, carrying out a wagon bridge and causing several thousand dollars' loss between Lecomp ton, eleven miles west, and Lawrence. The ice was to Bed forty feet high. All Traffic Stopped All traffic between Lawrence and North Lawrence was stopped, and the electric light plant was shut down. Schools in North Lawrence were closed. The weather bureau notified business houses along the river that the Hood stage was likely to be reached within twenty-four hours If the Ice below St. Louis did not break. There Is a possi bility of the gorge breaking. The ferryboat Madison at Venice, 111., was sunk by the ice. ..-- On the Marais dcs Cygnes river an Ice gorge formed against a bridge two miles east of Ottawa, and by this morn ing it had extended to that city, blocking the channel. The water was rising rapidly this morning, and a fore of men started out to dynamite the gorge in an attempt to prevent a flood. *-~+ .

INSURGENTS IN PENSIVE MOOD WARRING FACTIONS QUIETED FOR SHORT TIME TAFT TRIES TO BRING THEM BACK INTO FOLD Spirit of Conciliation Noted in Air at Washington—President Consid. ers Them Pardonable, Even Yet [Associated Press] WASHINGTON, Jan. Following President Toft's advice to Republicans 1 In congress yesterday to "stop quarrel i ing and got down to the party legisla tive program as quickly as possible" there were concrete evidences today of j a definite attempt to bring the war ring factions together upon some basis 1 of at least a temporary understanding. There seemed for the first time this j | session to be a spirit of conciliation in I the air and decidedly less of the bit terness of the last few weeks. President Taft let it be known that ho still •(insiders nil Insurgents as Re- I publicans. Speaker Cannon announced that all Republicans would be invited to the caucus in naming the Balllnger- Pinchot committee next week, and It Is hoped all will attend. Mr. ifr.ys r.i California, one of the leading insurgents, made two trips to the White House. After the first of these he announced Hint attempts to adjust matters were under way. He consulted with most of his brethren and reported bgek to the president. President Taft declared again today that his test of Republicanism will I come when action Is taken upon the j legislative recommendations which he I has ma.de in compliance with the party I platform. Taft Explains In his talks with Mr. Hays and other callers today the president said he was not withholding patronage, from any Republican senator or representative because of any votes east against Speaker Cannon, against the house rules or against the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. If, however, there are any among the Insurgents who Intend to carry their fight against the speaker and apalnst the rules to the extent of op posing purely administrative and partr measures to which the party is pledged the president will no longer regard | them as Republicans, but as having clearly arrayed themselves against the party. He declares he would not b« justified in recognizing: any claims for patronage from senators or represen tatives who would use the patronage given them as ammunition against the party. Mr. Taft is said to be satisfied with the way matters are progressing and he has received many personal assur ances that most of the so-called in surgents will support administration measures. Speaker Cannon declared insurgents of the house would have a square deal In the coming caucus if they came into It. There were no efforts in advance by anybody, he said, to set a trap or pit- fall for those of the majority who have been fighting the organization, but on the other hand no one could properly be given any definite assurances or promises as to what the outcome of the caucus would be." Every one of the 200 and more Re publicans in the house would be lml den, and they should attend, said the ■speaker. The caucus will be held probably early next week and it is understood that it is to be made the basis for a contemplated reconciliation between house insurgents und regular Republi cans. How this may be brought about is not apparent tonight. Tlie insurgents, or a majority of them, are chary of walking up to some thing that might turn out "to be load ed" a> one expressed it. Speaker Can non said today that there would be no efforts of the caucus to punish any body for what might tie termed past misdeeds, but that every Republican should come to the caucus and take pot luck on the result. Whatever the majority finally determined upon should be accepted by those who dis agreed. The caucus will name (lie committee tn investigate the Ballinger-Pinchot af fair. Upon tliis rock tlie regulars an.l the insurgents either will be at least temporarily cemented in Home degree of harmony, or the breach between them will have been irreparably wid ened. The Insurgents Insist that all they desired in the whole liallinger-Pincliot matter is the naming of a fair com mittee that will go to the bottom of the whole business, revealing what it may and returning an honest verdict. They insist that the naming of this committee should I"' accomplished in such a way as to command for it the lull confidence of tin; people. The in eurgenta are making no effort to nave any of their number pu; upon the com mittee. NEBRASKA LAUDS INSURGEN S ■ LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 13—The Ne braska -Insurgents have decided on January 20 as the date for the state rally. Resolutions praising the record of the insurgents in congress will he passed, it is said. a candidate will be indorsed to oppose Senator Burkett fur re-election. NAVY BUREAU CHIEFS BEFORE HOUSE COMMITTEE WASHINGTON, Jan. i:;.— Three navy I bureau chiefs whose official positions are affected by the plan of Secretary Meyer for the reorganization of the navy department were before the house committee on naval affairs today. Rear Admiral Cowlea of the bureau of equipment, whose bureau is abol ished under the Meyer proposals, Bald he bad not been consulted by the lee- K'tary regarding the wisdom of the plan, but lie thought it might work some economy. Rear Admiral Haliday of the bureau of yards and docks, whose duties are' enlarged by the Meyer plan, favored the reorganization idea, as did Rear Admiral Mason of the bureau of ord nance, whose department Is not ma terially affected. BORLAND ON RECORD AS' OPPOSED TO SUBSIDY WASHINGTON, Jan. "Wherever a subsidy exists it la wrong," contend ed Representative Borland of Missouri in the house today In discussing, the ship subsidy hill during debate on. the j fortification! appropriation bill, con sideration of which was begun. ii" characterized the subsidy bill as ; "sugar-coated" and urged that when "we tear away the mask of Jingoism from the ocean mall bill it leaves it ■ rmblle measure to make private busi ness- profitable." VOTES BIG SUM TO BUILD PORTS CONGRESS ADOPTS APPROPRI ATIONS BILL MEASURE CARRIES FIVE MILLION DOLLAR FUND Much Partisan Feeling Is Injected Into Dispute of Senators Relative to Destruction of Documents , [Associated Tress] WASHINGTON, Jan, 13.—The house today passed the fortifications appro priation bill, carrying more than $5, --000,000. • The senate, while it spent no money, ! put in more than two hours in dis- I cussing whether it should allow $4,000, --000 worth of claims for additional sal aries to certain postmasters, who served from 1864 to 1874. Senator Pen rose attacked the proposition us the work of claim agents. Much partisan feeling was Injected Into a discussion in the house over the destruction of 1000 tons of old and worthless documents. Among them were messages to congress from Ke publican and Democratic presidents. This fact brought forth comment both humorous and serious, as to the value or these documents, which, however were ordered consigned to the waste pile, Two hours were devoted by the sen ate to a discussion Of claims tor ad ditional allowance as salary of post masters who held office between 1564 and 1874. The whole subject was re ferred to the committee on postofßces, with the understanding that a report should be made by February 1. Supporters of the claims objected to reference of the subject to the com mittee, whereupon Chairman Penrose attacked the 'whole scheme. He quoted letters to show that the effort to obtain legislation was the re sult of the activity of claim agents, who, he said, had contracted for from 25 to 50 per cent of the amounts In all cases. He mentioned as the chief of these agents, Major K. G. Rathbone, fourth assistant postmaster under the McKin ley administration, and who, as di rector of posts In Cuba, became in volved with the department over ac counts. Senator Dick defended Major Rath bone, expressing the opinion that he had been 'a capable, honest and mis- Judged public official." Snappy colloquy and an Injection of politics featured the proceedings in the house, but the only important ac tion taken was the passage of the for tifications aproprlation bill, carrying more than $5,000,000 for the next fiscal year. - i • _ TONS OF DOCUMENTS BECOME DEBATE SUBJECT WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—Politics, Including Democratic references to former President Roosevelt as the "late lamented" and the "absent one." was Injected into a debate in the house to day on a resolution which was adopt ed providing for the destruction of a thousand tons of "worthless" public documents. Mr. Fitzgerald of New York declared that In the million or more pamphlets were approximately 19,000 copies or messages of former President Roose velt, "documents," Sir. Fitzgerald added, "that are both Illuminating and precious and were highly prized but a short time ago. They are messages of one who, though now absent, can never be forgotten In this august as semblage." Replying to a suggestion that there were many copies of President Cleve land's messages .still undisturbed, Mr. Fitzgerald said he supposed thai ;it Some time the Democrats must have entertained the "same sincere affec tion" tor Mr, Cleveland as tbe Repob Means entertained "for 1 "the absent la mented president whose presence In Africa, is so pleasing and his return so much feared. 1 PLEASING HER Box—How did you find out what to give your wife at Xmas?

Say the Solons, Can Cause Bill to Be Enacted —Forfeiture Clause Is Overlooked [AnootatM rressi WASHINGTON, J.in. 13.—Now thnt the main foaturei of the bill to be n i - ommended by the president providing lor a federal incorporation act Iwve i h me known, there 1» a disposition on the pan of many members oJ oongrew (.1 insist not only upon a full discussion of the measures, but upon amendments which will in thrir Judgment be neces- B arj to make ii efCi othre In dealing v it'll great corporations. Indeed, it >m bfelleved that nothing short of tremen dous administration Influence win enact H into law. The need of n forfeiture clause by which a corporation persistently violat ing the, law can have its charter re voked, is declared to be ab olutely necesrary If corporations are to be i i [actively controlled. Afnny rnrercsFionul lawyers advocate compulsory Instead of voluntary red cral Incorporation. They cite us sound tho general principle that if congress has constitutional power to grant vol untary charters to corporations doing tin interstate business, it lias power to rpcuiiii' i orporatipns doiner such busr ness to take a federal Incorporation Just as it has power to require them to comply with its laws regulating In terstate commerce. Among flip questions that will coma up for consideration- Is that relating to the effect of federal Incorporation upon the right of states to control and to tax the property of such enter prises. Some members of congress will wish to have the rights of the states clearly defined in respect to such matters as regulations for sanitation and factory improvement. They also will wish to reserve to the states their rights to tax such property after the corpora tion has assumed Its federal character. Some of them will wish, if possible, to separate the state from the inter state business so that the states may still have power to control In respect to business conducted by the corpor ations within the state. In twenty-one sections Attorney Gen eral Wickersham has embodied the idea of President Taft and Mis cabinet regarding a system of federal Incorpo , rations of business enterprises. The bill probably will be laid before congress next week. The principal feature will be the cre ation of a form of holding company under the national charter which may control business of subordinate compa nies organized under state laws. Proper limitations will be provided against the embarkation of any such corporations In the business of dis counting bills, receiving deposits and issuing notes. There will be no compulsory provis ion In the bill, it is said. The corpora i tions will not be required to take out a national charter if they see fit to do business under the state laws instead. All charters will be subject to the ap proval of the commissioner of corpora tions. Any corporation that has more than one kind of stock will be authorized to confer the right to choose the directors of any class to the exclusion of oth ers. No preferred stock, by the terms, may be Issued except as specified in the original articles of association save with the consent of the holders of two thirds of each class of outstanding stock. Stock books are to be open to Inspection of all stockholders, judg ment creditors and law officers. An Important provision will be oik' requiring every subscriber to pay to tbe treasurer of a corporation 10 ler cent in' the amount of bis subscription in cash, anß directors will be author ized to assess stock not exceeding the whole par value thereof. A corporation will be permitted to purchase property necessary for its business and issue stock for the same, with th>' approval of the bureau of corporations. _ ''.' AMUSEMENTS .'
