INSURGENTS IN
CONGRESS WILL
KEEP UP FIGHT
Outbreaks Are Probable When
Questions Affecting Cannon
Rules Arise
Interest Centers in Ballinger-
Pinchot Controversy and .
Administration Policy
WASHINGTON. Jan. JC. — No matter
how satisfactory an arrangement is
made for the "selection of the joint
committee to investigate the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy the insurgent
light promises to occupy a prominent
place in the congressional situation
this week.
That there will be a lull in hostilities
in the house as soon as the BaHlnger-
Pinchot committee is appointed is con
ceded, but those who are anxious that
legislation may proceed without delay
are not oversanguine of thejr efforts to
keep the insurgent row in check. Tkey
looked for renewed outbreaks when
ever any question affecting the Cannon
rules is interjected into the proceed
ings.
commerce: nii.ii favored
Second in interest to the discussion
of the battle between the republican
organization and insurgents of the
house is the gossip in both branches of
c-ongTess as to what will be the fate
of administration bills to put into force
what are now known as Taft policies.
These embrace the program for the
amendment of the interstate commerce
laws, for the amendment of the Sher
man anti-trust law and for the con
servation of natural resources.
Little opposition has been heard
to the administration measure for
strengthening the interstate commerce
act. On all sides it seems conceded
that some such measure as \u25a0is pro
posed by Taft will be enacted.
Insurgents . of the senate expect to
hold a conference soon to consider their
attitude, on the administration bills.
In the meantime the senate committee
on interstate commerce will take up
the interstate comrrrerce bill next Fri
day.
OPPOSITION TO T«I>TS >
The message of the president bearing
upon the question of enacting a volun
tary federal incorporation law to offset
the interpretation -placed upon the
Sherman anti-trust \ixv in the Stand
ard oil company case- and a possible
affirmation 1 by the supreme court of
that deHsion has attracted .little at
tention in the house. Members of the
senate judiciary committee have read
the bill which President Taft. and At
torney General Wlckersham have
drafted and/which will be presented to
the senate through Senator Clark of
Wyoming. • '
Comments upon the federal incorpo
ration bill have not been altogether
favorable. Many lawyers have taken
the position that it interferes with the
Tights of states to tax property of eor
'porations. while there are others who
Relieve that, if the decision in t!?e
Standard oil case is affirmed by the
supreme court, that company would be
the first to take advantage of a volun
tary federal incorporation act. Oppo
sition to the Standard oil company as
a monopoly impels these members of
congress to be against any measure
designed to give relief to any trust.
CON SEHVATIO.M%'I*)GR AM
The administration bills on the con
servation of natural resources are still
before the house committee on public
lands, awaiting the announcement of
some volunteer that he is willing to
undertake their defense in the house.
The offer of Chairman Mondell of Wy
oming to introduce the bill "by re
quest 1 having been declined by Presi
dent Taft and by Secretary Ballinger
attention will be given to the measures
by individual members of the commit
tee, and they may be parceled out
among several western representatives
Many people believe that the ad
ministration forces fnade a mistake in
declining the proffer of Monde!! His
opposition to the Ballinger bills is said
Jo be in harmony with lukewarm sup
port given by* him in the past to the
Roosevelt program on conservation of
natural resources.
It is pointed out that few bills with
drawing for governmental reasons any
part of the public domain that had been
subject to public entry have had Mon
deiis support. ,
PnOPOSUA OK UAM.IXGER
The measure* in question were draft
ed by Secretary. BallJnger. and the in
dorsement t "introduced by request"
would have brought them prominently
to the attention of the country as ad
ministration measures.
In view of the fact that Ballinger - s
conservation -tendencies have been ques
tioned, it might prove advantageous to
him to have his personal label upon the
measures.
An interesting situation' will be
raised in the house, committee on ex
penditures in the Interior department
by Representative H'tchcock of Ne
braska, who will endeavor to substan
tiate his charges of extravagance in the
conduct of land offices.
The bill giving separate statehood to
New Mexico and Arizona is on the
house calendar. Hamilton of Michi
gan, author of the measure, says that
if its passage is delayed it will be in
the senate.

UKIAH, Jan. 16. — A petition is being

Southern Pacific company to make
Santa Rosa a terminal. This would
mean that Ukiah shippers would only

\u25a0 - — :
BLUEFIELDS, Nicaragua, via New
.Orleans, Jan. 16— The official declara
tion of Captain ThesigerSof the British
warship Ccylla, stationed In Nicaraguan
waters, that there shall be no fighting
at Greytown is still regarded "by the
resident Americans as a move not as
innocent as appears ontlie surface.
Many declare that it' looks like a
covert slap at the United States.
AVhile a similar order, with' reference
to Blueflelds,. before, the battle of Re
creo, was given by Captain Shipley%of
the Dcs Moines, it is pointed out that
the situations were not parallel.
There were no troops within" 60 miles
of Bluefields, and Shipley's mandate oc
casioned, no embarrassment. Govern
ment troops. are '.in. 'Greytown. and just
how General Matuty is. to defeat them
unless Thesiger compels. them to move
outside the town, which would put him
In''the position ofjnterposing armed in
tervention, is puzzling the Estrada gov
ernment..
GREVTOW.V, IS BRITISH
Greytown is the sole British legacy
remaining from the Mosquito coast. All
the town has fallen into decay. Such
property as there is is owned by Brit
ish subjects, many' of them negroes
from Jamaica. .Notwithstanding this,
the United States recognized the block
ade which Estrada declared against
Greytown. " '
. British Consul Bingham of- Greytown
Is reported to have been .interested in
certain enterprises with Zelaya. It is
said that -he requested that a warship
be sent to that port upon the outbreak
of the insurrection. The appearance of
the Scylla followed.
The order of Captain Thesiger that
there should be no combat In Greytown
stated that there was open ground be
yond the town where the comba.t might
be waged with justice to both sides
and safety to noncombatants.
Thesiger requested Shipley to at
tach , his signature, to the noncombat
order. Captain Shipley is said to have
forwarded the request to the navy
department for instructions, and, as
his name was not signed, it .is be
lieved that- the American captain was
told to have nothing to do with the
order.
CRUISER TO WATCH TOWX
j Meanwhile; Captain Niblick had been
dispatched with the Tacoma to Grey
town, ostensibly for provisions, but in
reality to care fu^ wounded in the an-,
ticipated battle. But Americans believe
here that Thesiger's orde,r furnishes
a further reason for the presence of
the Tacoma. . Niblick is in position to
keep a watchful eye on the ScylTa and
to carry out Immediately orders that
might emanate from "Washington as a
result of Thesiger's attitude.
If Thesiger's. order stands it is prob
able that Matuty. , with a force of 1,000,
will proceed by land to a point up the
river in the rear of the town and camp
there, leaving a ship off the,, harbor.
By this combination he believes he can
cut off the town's food suppl y.
"If they won't come out to fight, let
them starve," is Matuty's succinct ex
planation of plans.

Commissioner's Attitude
Letter Criticises Proceedings
Taken Against Alleged -Ille
- gal Business Methods
State Insurance Commissioner E. My
ron Wolf has been asked to "shqot or
put up your gun" in a letter written to
him Saturday by M. L. Wright, presi
dent of the California mutual live stock
Insurance association.
This company has been on the grill
before the insurance commissioner for
nearly four months, because, according
to statements made by Wolf, the com
pany has not been proceeding with its
business according -to -the laws gov
erning insurance corporations.
The letter- not only criticises Wolf
and his methods of procedure, but ar
raigns Wolfs, deputy, C. K. Llnaker.
The letter begins with a r**ltrrenco to
the first demand ot the commissioner,
through his deputy, to sco and examine
the books of the association. It t«-lls
of all the negotiations. Including the
examinations and seizure of the com
pany's books.
The company also objects to the evi
dent friendship of newspapermen for
Commissioner .Wolf, said to have been
shown at a recent hearing In which
the livestock association was involved.
In closing the letter says:
"Regardless of aiflr excuse or reason
for your attitude toward our associa
tion, and regardless of the outcome of
any proceedings which may be brought
against, us, your actions have" been^un
just and outrageous, and have causetl
inestimable diimage and loss to our as
sociation and its members.
- "In the name of common decency and
manhood; in the name of ordinary jus
tice and dtity, I hereby demand that
you 'shoot or put up your gun,' and that
you return to our onlce in Oakland all
of our property which has for so Jong
been held by you Illegally."
