Taft Conservation Bill,
However, Dodged—In
auguration Day Change
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—President
Taft's special conservation message
was delivered to the House by Mr.
Latta, assistant secretary to the presi
dent, soon after that body convened
today. Pension legislation was de
ferred for the reading of the docu
ment anti the speaker advised the
members to pay close attention there
to, because no printed copies had ar
rived for distribution among them.
Practically all of tin* members
present remained in their seats, fol- i
lowing the reacting closely and care
fully. When it bad oeen concluded a
roar of applause arose from the Re
publican side of the chamber and sev
eral Democratic members s!«o join
ed in the applause.
Representative Mandeil, of Wyo
ming, chairman of the House com
mittee cm public lands, has declined
to stand sponsor for President Taft's (
bill designed to carry out his pro
gram for the conservation of natural
resources. He offered today to intro
duce the measure "by request," hut
the proffer was declined.
The passing of March 4 as "In
auguration day” is foreshadowed by
the expected adoption tomorrow by
the house of the Joint resolution pro
posing to the states an amendment
to the constitution, having that end
in view. Ratification by at least 35
states will be necessary after the
resolution is adopted by both houses
of congress and approved by the rep
resentatives.
The resolution makes the last
Thursday in April the day on which
the terms of the president and vice
president shall begin. The amend
ment will have the effect of extend
ing Mr. Taft's term of office for near
ly two months, but he would receive
no compensation therefor. It also
would lengthen the Hhort session of
congress for the same period.

ORDER OF KING CA USES
ARREST MANY OFFICERS
Police Hold Milb
tary Club**Mad*
rid f^eeps Silence
I’AKIS. Jan. 14.—A late dispatch
received here front Madrid says the
building occupied by the military
club is surrounded by the police and
that eighty officers have been placed
under arrest.
Special editions of the newspapers
practically agree that the movement
in Madrid Is directed from the throne
and that it follows as a result of dis
closures made upon arrests at Lisbon
last week, when reports were
promptly denied that a plot against
the government had been unearthed.
It is even hinted in some of the
papers that the change made in the
ministry at Lisbon was aue to dis
closures identifying very high per
sonages with the active existence of
the alleged plot for a general upris
ing and overthrow of the ruling
house of Spain.
The broadest interpretation is plac
ed upon the proceedings of the night
in Madrid, it being declared that the
steps taken are the direct outcome
of information obtained involving a
large number of army officers in the
planned uprising. It is stated that
the discovery is not of recent date,
but that knowledge of the alleged
plans has been held for some time,
arrests being delayed in order to give
the plotters opportunity to fully in-1
volve themselves.
It is declared that the arrests of 1
today and other steps taken by the |
government were timed immediately
before the hour for execution of revo- 1
lutlonary plans and that they cannot
now be attempted.
MADRID, Jan. 14.—The police
and all other authorities refuse to
discuss the actions of the government |
today in surveillance of the military i
club and the arrest of a number of
officers. Rumors current are neither
denied nor affirmed, absolute silence
being maintained. The atmosphere
is heavy with expectation, but there
is little or nothing known of definite
character.

Judge Mitchell said yesterday that
he would request Judge Brown at the

bench of the new district for a suf
ficient time to dispose of such busi
ness as there are reasons for his

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Daniel G.
Reid resigned today as chairman of
the executive committe of the Chica
go Rock Island and Pacific Railroad
company, and now out of the mass
of rumors that have cropped up since
the recent sensational rise and fall
in Rock Island common comes the
apparently authentic report that the
control of the Rock Island company
is to change, and that the railroad's
influence will be eliminated.

ed by F. H. Pearson, a London bank
er, owner of Mexican properties, and
with strong Canadian connections,
have recently acquired in the open
market a large block of Rock Island
common and preferred stocks. The
exact amount is not disclosed, but
probably represents about a fifth of
the whole.
The newcomers, it Is understood,
are working in harmony with Judge
William H. Moore and First Nation
al bank interests, who, with Mr.
Reid, have in recent years dominated
the Rock Island properties. Judge
Moore Issued a statement today, in
which he said that he and Mr. Reid,
contrary to report, were working In
perfect harmony, but he declined to
discuss other developments In the
Rock Island situation.
Official announcement was made
today of the resignation of Richard
A. Jackson as president and director
of the Rock Island company and of
the election of Robert Walker, for
merly assistant general counsel, as
his successor. Mr. Walker also was
elected a member of the board of di
rectors, chairman of the executive
committe and general counsel of the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad company.
Mr. Reid will remain as chairman
of the board of directors of this com
pany as well as a director of the Rock
Island and Pacific Railroad com
pany and the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific Railroad company.

surgents Agree toCaucus
—Counsel at Hearing
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.—In official
circle* today it was said not to be
likely that any reply will be made by
the administration to the statement
issued last night by Gifford Pinchot in
which the former chief forester
sharply criticised the course tne ad
ministration had pursued.
Representative John Dwight, the
New York Republican* ‘whip” of the
House, stated tonight that an agree
ment had been reached between the
Republicans and insurgents whereby
the latter would attend a party cau
cus on the selection of the Balllnger
Pinchot investigation committee and
would abide by the decisions reached
in caucus.
The former chief forester and Sec
retary Ballinger may be represented
by counsel before the congressional
investigation covering the conduct of
their offices. This was practically
admitted by the Senate and House
committees today. Similar repre
sentation of other disloyal govern
ment employes involved in the con
troversy was not decided upon.
President 1 at» Lot it be known to
day that he will consider «ui of the in
surgents as Republicans. Speanei
Cannon announced that ail Republi
cans would be Invited to the caucus
in naming the Ballinger-Pinehot com
mittee next week, anu that it is hop
ed all will attend. Representative
Hayes of California, one of the lead
ing insurgents, made two trips to
the White House. Alter the first of
| these he announced that attempts to
I adjust matters were underway. He
consulted with most of his brethren
and reported back to the president,
j President Taft let It be known
: that bis test of Republicanism will
come when action is taken upon the
legislative recommendations which
he made in compliance with the party
platform. In his talks with Repre
sentative Hayes, and other callers to
day the president said he was not
withholding patronage from any Re
publican senator or member of con
gress because of invective cast
against Speaker Cannon, against the
rules of the House or against the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill.
Because of the violence attending
the gamblers' war in Chicago, many
business men there have taken in
surance in the British Lloyds against
