personfrom all walks of lifer for the discussion of broadening topics The fundamental motive for the gathering Is to educate the pebpleof the South in all matters of interest io them Arming the principal speaTcers are Dr Paul Bitter 2013 Ulyei place this city the ilinister to the United States from Switzerland who will address the conference on thVadaptatiOn of education to life in his country Maurice Egan a Washington man and United States Minister to Denmark will speak on the adaptation of education to life in Denmark Benson of the United States Department or Agriculture and Don Carlos Ellis chief of education In yie United States forest service will also voted for at the aaucus of the Democratic members of the House to be held on Sat urday morning For Speaker Champ Clark of Misouri For clerk of the House Former Repre eentative Trimble of Kentucky For doorkeeper Sinnott of Virginal Spencer of Oklahoma A Hurt of Mississippi For sergeant at arms Former Representative William Ryan of Buffalo Jackson of Indiana Clyde Tevenner of Illinois For postmaster Former Representative Robert Gordon of Ohio Vilflam Dunbar of Georgia Brernrier of Tew Jersey For ehaplain The Rev Henry Couden of Michigan Republican and the Rev Edward Bagby of the District of Columbia The selection of the House officers probably will be the first business of the caucus Mr Clark was Informally selected at the caucus held last January and the matter of the Speakership is therefore settled Mr Trimble to Be Clerk There is practically no dpubt that South Trimble will be chosen clerk because so far as it Is possible to learn now he has no opposition Mr Trimble started out after the job Immediately after the No vember election He first encountered the opposition of former Representative Ryan of New York but when the latter realized that Trimble had him distanced he abandoned the fight and began a contest for the office of sergeant at arms Trimble was speaker of the Kentucky legislature ten years ago before coming to Congress from the Seventh district There is little doubt that Sinnott of Virginia wiU be chosen doorkeeper He has long been in the service of the Democrats of the House as a minority employe and as sergeant at arms of the Democratic Congressional committee He is personally acquainted with all of the od members and roost of the now ones and the post is conceded to him Jn recognition of the work he has done for the pm ty Spencer whp is opposing him Is former resident of Mexico Mo in Champ Clarks district but has long lived in Oklahoma It is said he will be satisfied with a minor place under the doorkeeper A Hurt the third candidate was doorkeeper in the Fifty third Congress which was Democratic and now is back in Washington seeking the place again Sergeant at Arms Fight The fight for the office of sergeant at arms a close one between Ryan and Stokes Jackson The former served two terms in the House and has a large following The Indiana contingent however has been working night and day to elect Jackson He is the chairman of the Indiana State central committee and is accredited with perfecting the organisation to such extent that the Demo crats carried eleven of the thirteen congressional districts two years ago and elected a governor and a United States senator and last year under his management of the campaign they elected twelve out of thirteen representatives and a second United States senator together with all of the State officers for the flrst time in sixteen years The Indlanians have obtained a large number of written pledges for their candidate and are confident bf winning Clyde Tavcnner the third aspirant Js a young newspaper man who has worked hard for his party Last fall he was a candidate for Congress in the Rock Island district of Illinois against Representative James McKenney Although defeated he succeeded in cutting down McKenneys majority about 2500 He conducted a campaign somewhat after the English manner and plastered the district from end td end with bill posters Rare for Postmastership The Ohio members are confident of electing Bob Gordon as postmaster of the House Gordon was in Washington during the last six weeks of the last session buttonholing his old friends and getting promises of their support He was popular while he was in Congress from the old rockrlbbed Democratic Fourth district and this popularity is standing him In good stead now that he Js a candidate for an office under the new House In view of the fact that two of the three important offices will go to the South it is argued that the postmaster ship should be held by a Northern man and Gordon Is likely to be selected Bremner pf Passaic is another candidate backed by Representative Hughes and the New Jersey delegation He is the editor of the Passaic Herald William Dunbar bf Augusta Ga is the third candidate and the principal ob Jection to him is that as stated the South will get two of the four Important offices and there Is a disposition to give the otier two to Northern men Dunbar was postmaster of Augusta under President Cleveland Dr Couden May Stay The Democrats have not considered any one for the office of chaplain and there Is a strong sentiment among them to allow the Rev Dr Couden chaplain of the House for the last sixteen years to remain at his post and continue to pray for the deliverance of the Democracy Dr iCouden is veteran and is totally blind The pjace pays only 1000 a year and since haj Is very popular with the Democrats as Wei as with the Republicans many are Inclined to favor keeping him The Grand Army men have put up a special plea that Dr Couden be retained There have been two or three Isolated applications for the place but they have not been given any encouragement Champ Clark had one from his district but advised the reverend doctor not to seek the job There Is precedent for retaining the present chaplain The late Rev Dr Mil bum a blind clergyman had been chaplain of the Forty ninth and Fiftieth Con gressesr which jwere Democratic When the Plfty flrst Congress came in it was Republican by a majority of 3 at the outset until the Republicans In order to get a working majority unseated a dozen or more Democrats There was an effort to displace Dr MUburn but one lnd hearted Republican member arose In his place and after declaring himself to be ait iiiicpmpro jnislng party man insisted that when it came to a question of praying for the salvation of jhis immortal soul he would A general invitation has been issued to althose whQnre interested in theadap tatlon of education to life i i IP HAND ah Have Minority Leadership Should He Desire It MANN IS STILL CONSIDERED Report Renewed He Is to Receive Votes of Republican Caucus and Fails to Regard Congratulations as

maie effective in the caucus Which is to be heljjnext Saturday nlghti the House representatives in the Sixty second Congress will be run almost on the lines of a card lndei or Brandels system of scientific management Instead of statesmen mathematicians will hold sway Members of the new rules committee have planned a rule which will deny the appropriations committee the right to increase any appropriations It prescribes that no appropriation may be greater than the estimates from the secretaries of the departments There will of course be the usual exception providing for a suspension of the rules and unanimous consent to an Increase beyond the estimates for current appropriations If this drastic rule is Indorsed In the caucus of the Democrats it will mean that the new appropriations committee headed by Representative John Fitz end of the line Although no definite announcement has been made by the Republican lead ers concerning the probable choice of a minority leader the recent return of Repr resentatle Mann to Washington was the signal for the renewal of the report that he is to receive the votes of the Republican caucus Mr Mann received the congratulations of several fellow Republicans with an air that gave no sign that he regarded their kindly words as premature as he walked through the corridors of the Capitol in search of an unoccupied room that could be used by the minority leader as a meeting place Representative Weeks of Massachusetts Is still prominently mentioned as a candidate for the minority leadership but Mr Cannon Is regarded as the one best bet if he consents to take the place It is known that enough votes have been pledged to the former Speaker to assure him the formal leadership of the Republicans if he wants to make use of them The discussion of Representative Manns candidacy yesterday brought from several of the members of the new minority the old objection to his availability that his vote against the Payne Aldrich tariff bill will make his opposition to the Democratic tariff measures rather awkward for his party Some Republicans fear that his position would be too vulnerable in a session which is to be devoted entirely to the readjustment of the tariff law that Mr Mann opposed nearly two years ago Other Probable Choices Representative Tilson of Connecticut is slated as the most prabable choice of the Republican caucus for minority whip to succeed Representative Dwight of New york the whip of the Congress just closed It is believed that the Democrats will stick to the men who acted as whip and assistant whip Irir the last House Representatives Bell of Georgia and Garner of Texas Every indication points to the election of Representa tive McHenry of Pennsylvania as chairman of the Democratic caucus to succeed Representative Clayton of Alabama Chairman Underwood of the Democratic membership of the new ways and means committee expects to be able to submit to the committee immediately a large amount of data on the wool and cotton schedules It is probable that the report of the rules committee will be ready in time to be submitted to the Democratic caucus on Saturday JME izitAit lC irix WPM i i wlttiam

most powerful legislative machine in the House merely a calculating machine for the exercise of economy Rule Not Objected To Members of the new appropriations committee say they do not object touch a rule and that their intention is to exercise economy and to diminish rather than to increase appropriations It will mean however that they will have little authority In the matter of aDoronrtations In addition to this change in the method of running the business of the House the new chairman of the committee on accounts Representative James Lloyd of Missouri has prepared a table by which 500 jobs at the disposal of the Democrats will be allotted on a basis of 2O00 in patronage to each member The ways and means committee In Its report favoring the abolition of useless offices will recommend to the Democratic caucus that the committee on ac counts be established ai a distributing point for patronage and that each individual member of the Democratic party be given a pro rata share and that the committee chairmen be given merely the power of appointment of employes under their particular committees Willing to Waive Rights Some of the new members of the House are said to be willing to Waive their right to patronage In oder that the older members of their delegations may dispose of it While the estimate of 2000 worth of patronage to each member is based on the theory that there will be no abolition of any of the 500 jobs available the figure may have to be reduced when the pruning knife is brought Into play Many Democrats will refuse to vote for any proposition to abolish jobs The ways and means committee has recommended to the rules committee that a number of the standing House committees be abolished Those which are to go will be committees which rarely meet Including probably the committee on Pacific railroads reform in the civil service and similar bodies Representative Sherley of Kentucky Is urging the establishment of a budget committee and this question probably will be considered at a separate caucus to be reld early In May Make Firm Resolutions Next Saturdays caucus will be on the new rules and the election of officers of the House Other caucuses are scheduled on the tariff reciprocity committee assignments and patronage Full of enthusiasm the Democratic leaders are making firm resolutions to run the House strictly on a business basis Some of the politicians are smilingly predicting that before the various caucuses are over the leaders will have the problem of legislation down to the point where they wll have nothing to do but refer to the

governor of the State having been chosen last No vember He did not qualify at tne De ginning of the terrn but is now enjoying the salary and the luxury of having mighty little to do Reynolds Is a lawyer and banker and after six years In the Hcuse decided that he could give more time to private affairs in the lieutenant governors office and be ahead financially each year with hohon enough to satisfy It was not generally known among the younger Republican members of the last House that only a few years ago Reynolds was a Democrat He served as a Democrat In the legislature and he was a delegate to the last two conventions that nominated Grover Cleveland for President During Clevelands second term Reynolds was an Assistant Secretary of the Interior and continued Until June 1 following the McKlnley Inauguration It might be explained that Reynolds became a Republican in 1396 while still holding office under a Democratic administration He did not ask a continuance In office because of this conversion to the cause of gold but he at once became active In local Republican affairs at home and was not long in receiving the reward of election to Congress His prorpfnence in the Republican affairs of Pennsylvania does not seem to cause any jealousy among those who have ever ben Republicans and the governorship may be the ambition of Reynolds a little later on is secretary and

Flint Mich a member of the Democratic national committee for the Wolverine State has come to town for a season of exultation over the spectacle of a Democratic House of Represenatives doing business at the old stand It is not often that a Michigan Democrat has much to exult about but it is the 1ov of Wood to tell how the Democrats of hi State gained twomem 1 bers of the National House last year Frank Doremus of Detroit and Edwin Sweet of Grand Rapids Not only Wood of the national committee but other Michigan Democrats think that they did exceedingly well to flefeat Den by in Detroit antj Dlekema In the old William Alden Smith district There was some satisfaction to Sweet that he won last year as two years before he had been beaten by Dlekema by oVer 5000 plurality It is the prediction of Wood that both new Democrats from Michigan will make records even In a first term and It is also the faith oC Wood that something will happen to send both new members here for some time to come Michigan Republicans In town like William Livingstone simply smile at the hopeful predictions of Brother Wood and promise that Michigan will line up for a solid Republican delegation in Con gress next year and there are other old line Republicans from the State who are not so sure that Townsend the new senator is going tovbevery much of an insurgent after he has taken the oath on the Senate side as the successor of Julius Caesar Burrows Townsend will be succeeded in the House by William Wedemeyer of Ann Arbor who Is new to the congres sional game but a veteran In the political methods and byways of the Michigan Republican Organization Now and then a veteran politician will veer away from the path of political discussion and prediction and tell a few lines of the human Interest sort something of the human side of public men and their relations with people who were not actually In the political game Long before he was a member of the Democratic national committee our Michigan friend Wood was a special agent of the Treasury He was under the direction of JohnG Carlisle in a confidential capacity During the second Cleveland term Special Agent Wood was Sent to the Pa cific coast to Investigate alleged collu sion on the part of customs officials in the alleged Importation of opium and the landing of Chinese laborers A result of his work was the calling of a special grand jury by United States Judge Bal lnger atPortland Oreg The steamship Haytlan Republic was selzeoby Mr Wood and confiscated by the government and some twenty persons were convicted among them the collector of customs and tht special agent of the Treasury Department for the Puget Sound district The indictments were found in June and the trials were in the fall of the same year Just prior to the trials Mr Wood was called to Washington for conference with the President Secretary of the Treasury and Attorney General After Mr Wood had left the President and while he was with Secretary Thur ber in the White House Mr Cleveland called Mr Wood back and asked him to sit down and taking a letter from a drawer in the desk requesfedhim to read it It was a touching and beautifullv written letter from the widow of the great preacher and orator Henry Ward Beecher soliciting the good offices of the President in securing the promotion of her son who was in the revenue cutter service on Puget Sound President Cleve land spoke tenderly and with much feel mg mamiesiea nis eyes moist with teardrop saying Henry Ward Beecher suffered forjme and lost friends in some cases because of the support he gave me I am not unmindful of his confidence and if I can do anything for this young mans devoted mother I shall cer tainly do it The President directed me to gain all the Information regarding the son said Mr Wood what promotion he desired or lr ne wanted a transfer and asked Federal Circuit Court of Appeals Finds Oklahoma Statute Confiscatory St Louis Mo March 29 The United States circuit court of appeals today upheld the temporary Injunction granted against the corporation commission of Oklahoma by United States Circuit Judge Hook nearly a year ago enjoining Okla homa from enforcing the 2 cent passenger fare law and a reduqtlon in freight rates The court passing on the temporary Injunction on affidavits and arguments rholds the law to be confiscatory and holds that that section of the Oklahoma constitution establishing the corporation commission Is invalid under the Constitution of the United States The decision does not end the rate case which will now proceed on the pleadings and evidence No testimony has been placed before the court The rate cases for the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railways are pending in the United States Court of Appeals Attorneys believe that the Oklahoma decision may furnish an in dication of the decision in these suits MORE CARNEGIE INDICTMENTS Six Additional Officials of Trust Com pany May Face Trial Special to The Washington Post New York March 29 Six4 indictments for felonies are pending against officials of the Carnegie Trust Company who so the grand jury has been told secured money of that concern and tried to cover themselves by fpise statements and doctoring the books Some of these indictments will be handed down hext week but It is likely that they will be held back until an official of the State banking department whose name has been given to the district attorney in connection with the mutilation of the directors mifiutes has had an opportunity to tell his story EDITOR DEFIES COMMITTEE Kohlsaat Refuses to Reveal
