'v*7 'V.: ii# REPUBLICANS PUT IN HOPELESS POSITION Democratic Action in In creasing Size of Commit tees Without Increasing Minority Weakens Latter. ^Washington, D. C., April 6.—Presl dent Taft's message urging the rati fication of the reciprocity agreement with Canada was read in both houses of congress oday. It was known in advance that the president would confine hiihself to the subject of reci procity-and this robbed the message -of any unusual interest. It was listened to without applause and referred to the appropriate com mittee. The house took up the adop tion of its new rules, limiting gen eral debate on the subject to four hours to be equally divided and grant ing the privilege of offering any sub stitutes of the rules. The insurgents pleaded for the privilege of separate amendments, but were told by the democratic leaders that their amend ments would have to be included in the proposed republican substitute resolution. .' The rules make provision ror the election of committees instead of their appointment by the speaker, and en large the membership of several of the committees. Six old committees are abolished. The principal change Is a rule which permits germane legislation Q& ap appropriation bill •When it tends to retrench expendi tures. The democrats continued cal endar Wednesday and enlarged the rule for the discharge of committees. The republican substitute for the democratic code of rules was offered by Mr. Mann. It provides for the use during the extra session of the rules of the last congress and for an investi gation and codification of rules before next December. Republicans to Keep Up Fight. The republicans have given notice that they will conduct a sharp fight against the house rules. The fight centers about the action of the dem ocrats in increasing the size of vari ous committees, without increasing he minority representation thereon. The result has been to leave republi cans in a hopeless position in all of the committees. Representative' Mann of Illinois has dropped quite gracefully into his roil as minority leader. The house-insurgents do not know as yet-where they stand. They gave evidence today of an appeal to the democrats to be recognized as a sep arate minority. None of the republican places committees will be filled until- after today's fight on the rules is settled. Mr. Mann waB authorized by the regu lar republican caucus to fill the repub lican berths on the various commit tees. 'v Cannon Chides Opponents. Former Speaker Cannon made his maiden speech of the session in the house today during the republican fight against the new democratic rules. He chided both the democrats and the insurgent republicans alike and practically announced tnat as an individual member he proposed to even up for some of the things said about him. Shouts of laughter on both sides greeted his declaration that "I never felt less like dying than I do now." Quiet Day in Senate. The senate was in session only 25 minutes today. The only business transacted was the reading of 'tne president's message urging the pro posed bill to carry out provisions of the Canadian reciprocity agreement and tbfc reference of the message to the finance committee.

Harrison last night after the returns of yester day's election were all in. "I shall be personally responsible for the conduct of the departments and I shall name men for the heads of departments who are personally known to me and whom I consider my personal friends. That has been my policy in times past. It is a perfectly safe forecast that there will be an en tirely new list of cabinet officers. "My promise, is not out to any one for any appointive office," the mayor elect declared. "No promises of any kind have been made. I have chosen uo oae-for any no one will ftnow who is on the list until it is sub mitted to the council." While the democrats have gained in the city council and will have a ma jority of twelve, Instead of the six they have had during the last year, it is said that the A sufficient number of the incoming aldermen have signed a pledge to stand by the non-partisan insure a Mayor-elect Says Present In Interview Given to As Organization of Commit tees Will be Continued Promises Big Shake-up. non-partisan organiza tion of committees which has been the custom for fifteen years will still pre vail. organization to two-thirds vote when the auestion comes up for final decision. The council will stand forty-one demo crats to twenty-nine republicans. Mayor-elect Harrison is an advo cate of the non-partisan organization of the council. In fact, it was during his first term as maycr of Chicago that the scheme was first put into ex ecution. The mayor-elect will have the appointment of about fifty heads of departments which were exempt from civil service. The salaries of these officers range from $10,000 down to $1,500 a year. The mayor of Chicago receives $18, 000 a vear, the highest salary paid by any city in the United States to a mavor. Scrutiny of the returns by ward and precinct show that Professor Merriam was given nearly 7 per cent less votes than Busse (Rep.) was accorded four years ago, while Harrison (Dem.) ran over 17 per cent ahead of the figures attained by Dunne (Dem.) at that time. The vote reached above 340,000, which is approximately 25,000 more than the record at the last previous mayoralty contest. Why Merriam Lost., In spite of this, both sides agreed that Merriam lost through the failure of the "silk stocking" wards to. show the strength that had been expected from them in favor of the college man. The first few precincts brought In in- dicated that wWle the totals we favor of Merriam, his percentage com pared with four years ago was falling steadily off, while his opponent was bringing in unexpected returns. Even in the Twenty-fifth ward, where Merriam's candidacy was con ceived, the failure of Merriam support ers to stop in the drizzling rain and cast a ballot for their choice, caused the professor's total to drop far below what had been expected. Four present aldermen were feated—Milton de J. Foreman, Arthur W. Fulton and Francis W. Taylor, re publicans, and John S. Clark, demo crat. Alderman Merriam, of the seventh ward, who retired to run for mayor, is succeeded by Willis V. Nance, a re publican. The new aldermen are: Tearney, Ryan, Carr, Klaus, Ahem, Jarecki, Walkowisk, Geiger, Schultok and Hy dohol, democrats, and Nance, Hazen and Capltain, republicans. Tearney is the Three-I league president lately In the limelight. Schriver Elected in Rock Island. Rock Island, April 5.—Harry M.

MADERO INSISTS DIAZ MUST QUIT sociated Press the Rebel Leader Says no Other Terms Will be Accepted. El Paso, Tex., April 5.—Charles Richards and Jewell Williams, the o%e a machinist in the Madero, Mexico, shops, and the other just completing one month's service with the insur rectos, arrived here today with the news that the insurrectos have no present intention of attacking the city of Chihuahua. "Their amibition," said Williams, who makes his home with his mother in New York City, "is to re-capture Casas Grandes and liberate the pris oners including seventeen Americans, taken in the recent engagement at that plftCQ*" Coincident with this information comes an official announcement that General Rafael Egula Lis and the Casas Grandes garrison of 500 federal troops have tfceen ordered to proceed to Chihuahua. The addition of these troops, it is estimated, will bring the Chihuahua garrison up to 3,000 or more men. The insurrectos realize that with their force of not over l,b00 men, (and probably it is under thfit) equipped only with jcarbines and with no artillery, 1 they have no chance against the fully equipped and numer ically strong fdrces withiR/tJie city. Is not unttkeftr however unless" tttfc present peace plans develop into a truce, that Madero or some other rebel chieftain will endeavor to intercept Eguia Lis on- the march. With regard to the official announce ment of this -move of tha Casas. Grandes force it is considered by those familiar with Mexican strategy that the report may be meant merely to mislead the enemy. In any event it is practially certain that Eguia Lis will not attempt to take his prisoners with him. Madero is at Ranchera Bustillos, ac cording to Richards and Williams where, if present plans do not miscar ry, he will soon receive his father and brother Alfonso to discuss peace plans. There has been no fighting since Casas Grandes, they say. The city of Madero, where there are American interests, is 100 miles or more from Madero's camp. The in surrectos' force there is commanded by Guiseppe Garibaldo, an artillery expert, who has served In Italy and South America, and Captain Oscar G. Creighton, an American. There are only ten Americans now with the rebels, eleven of them having been killed and seventeen taken pris oners at the battle of Casas Grandes. Richards said the total dead in that fight was ninety-one on both sides. Madero Says Diaz Must Go. Madero's Camp, Near Chihuahua, Mex., April 5.—Francisco, I.

C., April 5.—Presi dent Xaft today transmitted to congress a message urging early ac tion on the reciprocity agreement with Canada. He stated that he based this message upon deference to popular sentiment and duty to the great masses of the American people. The message follows: To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I transmitted to the sixty-first con gress, on January 26 last the text of the reciprocity trade agreement which had negotiated under my direction by the secretary of state with the representatives of the Dominion of Canada. This agreement was the consummation of earnest effort, ex tending over a period of nearly a year, on the part of both governments to effect a trade arrangement which, sup plementing as it did the amicable set tlement of various questions of a diplomatic and political character that had been reached, would mutual ly promote commerce. and would strengthen the friendly relations now existing. The agreement in its intent and in the terms was purely economic and commercial. While the general sub ject was under discussion by the com missioners I felt assured that the sen timent of the people of the United States was such that they would wel come a measure which would result in the increase of trade on both sides of the boundary line, would open up the reserve productive resources of Canada to the great mass of our own consumers on advantageous condi tions, and at the same time offer a broader outlet for the excess product of our farma and many of our indus tries. Details regarding a negotiation of this kind necessarily could not be make public while the conferences were pending. When,. however, the full text of the agreement, accompany ing correspondence and data explain ing both its purpose and its scope be came known to the people through the message transmitted to congress, it was immediately apparent that the ripened fruits of the careful labors of GAMBLER DENIES GAMORRA GRIMES Rapi has the bearing* of a gentle man, and today he was dressed in the stylish clothes which he affects. Speak ing, in carefully modulated tone and with precision the prisoner betrayed a desire to emphasize his social superi orty over the other thirty-five de fendants. By profession Rapi is a high class gambler and has experienced the usual ups and downs of a follower of chance. The surveillance of the Italian police becoming oppressive he went to Paris and when expelled from the French capital, he set up business in London, subsequently returning to Italy with a fat purse there to lose his money again. He founded the Unione Del Mezzo giorno of Naples, to the Buccess of which many of the aristocracy are said to have contributed their fortunes in a single night's playing. He conducted gambling places at Rome and Ostend. Rapi had many bankers, politicians and journalists among his acquaintances. TRIBUTE TO DEAD Ninety Unions in New York Prepare to Parade Streets as Result of Fire Deaths. New York, April 5.—Ninety |abor unions with a membership of a quar ter of a million persons, prepared to day to pay public tribute to the mem ory of the victims of the Washington Place fire by parading through the streets of. lower Manhattan. Many thousands of men and women, it was expected, would take part. At the same time the city, with sim ple service, will bury the bodies of the seven unidentified victims in Ever green cemetery, Brooklyn. Many factories in the city are closed today to allow employes to take part in the memorial parade. DIES IN QUICK SAND Prominent Iowa Odd Fellow to Death While'Friends Are Powerless. 7 ,DENT TAFT'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS ON RECIPROCITY PLAN TREASURER OF THE ORGANIZATION CRO88 EX AMINED BY PROSECUTOR. Viterbo, Italy, April 5.—One of the most Interesting characters in' the camorra trial, Guoviny Rapi, the sup posed treasurer, was heard in his own defense today. Questioned by Presi dent Bianchi of the court of the assizes, he made a general denial of complicity in the murder of the Cuoccolos, called attention to discrepancies in the testi mony of Gennaro Abbatemaggio, the informer, and sought to impress the Jury by the assertion that he volun tarily returned to stand trial. Sinks Sioux City, April 5.—With two com panions standing on the shore power less to save him, Gustave F. Benson, prominent in Odd Fellow lodge cir cles, was sucked by quicksand be neath the surface of a small pond on the south shore of the Missouri river just south of McCook lake, near here, last •wpiag. rvifr the commissioners met with wide spread approval. This approval has been strengthened by further consid eration of the terms of the agreement in all their particulars. The volume of support which has developed shows that Its broadly national scope is fully appreciated and is responsive to the popular will. The house of representatives of the sixty-firBt congress after the full text of the arrangement with all the de tails in regard to the different provis ions had been before it, as they were before the American people, passed a bill confirming the agreement as ne gotiated and as transmitted to con gress. This measure failed of action in the senate. In my transmitting message of the 26th of January, I fully set forth the character of the agreement, and em phasized its appropriateness and nec essity as a response to the mutual needs of the people of the two coun tries, as well as Its common advan tage. I now lay that message, and the reciprocity trade agreement, as part of the present message before the sixty-second congress, and again in vite earnest attention to the consider ation therein expressed. I am constrained in deference to popular sentiment and with a realiz ing sense of my duty to the great mass of our people whose welfare is in' volved, to lirge upon your considera tlon early action on this agreement. In concluding the negotiations the representatives of the two countries bound themselves to use their utmost efforts to bring about the tariff changes provided for in the agreement by concurrent legislation at Washing ton and Ottawa. I have felt it my duty, therefore, not to acquiesce in relegation of action until the opening of the congress in December, but to use my constitutional prerogative and convoke the sixty-second congress in extra session In order that there shall be no break of continuity in consid ering and acting upon this most im portant subject.
