CONFERENCE IS HELD Hepburn Announces Certainty of "Uncle Joe's" pij on Fot te Make Caolee ef the Illinois C(TMia Cnnnlmena. Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean. WASHINGTON.

D. Nor. 17. Representative Hepburn of Iowa bad a conference with Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania this morning, and immediately afterward announced- In an Interview that Mr. Cannon would without doubt bo elected Speaker of the Fifty-Eighth Congress.

Colonel Hepburn ired to his colleagues in Iowa that he desired that his vote should be recorded for Cannon at the meeting of the delegation at Dos Moines tomorrow. Colonel Hepburn declined to reveal anything that occurred at his conference with Mr. Dalzell, but It is understood that the Pennsylvania will get out of the race, to make the nomination of Cannon unanimous and by acclamation. Some of Dalzell's friends have been trying to create the Impression that Cannon and Babcock have an agreement by which the Wisconsin member is to be made chairman of the committee on ways anl moaos. Colonel Hepburn expressed the opinion that neither Cannon nor Babcock bad for a moment thought of such a trade.

Dalaell May Wllharaw. The Pennsylvania delegation desires to seme the re-election of Colonel MacDowell ot that stato as clerk of the House, and they are urging Dalzell not' to stand in the way of that Important patronage after he Is defeated. It Is more than probable that Dalzell will withdraw and that Payne ot New York will not make definite announcement ot his candidacy. The West is now united for Cannon, and he has enough votes to nominate without New England, but be is certsin of Massachusetts and Connecticut, as he is of Indiana and: Iowa. Congressman Hitt of Illinois today expressed the opinion that the Speakership campaign was ended, and that Cannon would have no further opposition.

Mr. Hitt believes there will be Important general legislation at the coming ehort session of Congress. "How about the trusts and a tariff commission was asked. "I believe tbe trust question will receive aerious consideration at the coming session," was the reply. "There will certainly be a report made on the subject, wbether any legislation Is enacted or not.

This report will Indicate the general trend of thought on the part of the Republican party and will show what may be expected in the future. "The tariff commission may be appointed, although exaotly what may be accomplished In that way may be considered somewhat of question. A commission to consider the tariff Is not a new idea or method of dealing with that question, as Congress appointed uch a commission in 1882, and the report of that commission was the Initial groundwork for the legislation which followed, although Congress took up the question and considered It thoroughly from its own. feint of view."

A meeting of the Michigan delegation in Congress has been called by William Alden Smith to be held in this city Thursday to canvass the Speakership and other matters. Michigan will probably be for Cannon. Like the Western politician recently la Chicago. Governor Crane of Massachusetts also considers Congressman Cannon as a certainty fcr the next Speakership of tbe National House of Representatives. "Massachusetts has not yet, I believe, committed Itself in the fight," said the Governor at the Auditorium Annex last night, "but I take it that the success of Mr.

Cannon's candidacy is In bo doubt." Governor Crane says his business in Chicago relates solely to tbe paper-manufacturing business in which he is interested, and has nothing to do with political matters. KU term as Governor of Massachusetts will ex-(ire in January. There was a rumor going tbs rounds yesterday thst the reason Congressman Babcock of Wisconsin had withdrawn his name from tboee among he candidates in The Speaker-rhip race, waa because he had a promise from "Uncle Joe" Cannon that if he would withdraw and Mr. Cannon should become Speaker he would he appointed chairman of the ways and means committee. That such a com-ract had been entered into between him and Mr.

Bibcock Congressman Cannon denied last night. Jiecald: "It has always been my practice in public life not to contradict reports or rumors, but la this Instance I would deviate from that and deny. them. Such a. story is not Justice to Mr.

Babaock. Between us or any of our friends tuere has been no reference made to the ehaismanshlp of the committee of ways and means. If I am elected Speaker I will be free to make the best and strongest a d-polctments." The delegates la Iowa and Ohio meet today. Those of Connecticut met last night. SHERMAN OUT OF THE RACE.

WINE AND EMBRACES Court Hears of Champagne, Kisses, and Late Cab Rides. llra.

HI tt-Shanaon-Forbes Takes Standi Telia of Anxiety for boakey Boy 811110." More wine, more woman, and more song, together with more cabs, more automobiles, more midnight adventures, and more of everything, in fact, that made life worth the living to William Wallace Pike while he and the woman now suing for recognition as his wife, were spending their hours together, were Introduced in the hearing of the? case yesterday. Some of the introductions were so natural that the crowded courtroom almost could hear tbe corks pop and the slam of the carriage door as It closed on a merry party. And when Mrs. Gladys Hltt-Shannoa-Forbes testified, even Judge Clifford grew thirsty and called for a fresh supply Of Ice water. "Josle" and "Blllle boy" sat closer together yesterday than they have before since the trial began.

This was necessary because of the crowd of witnesses which Mr. Trude gathered about him, and tbe fact that Mr. Bishop moved hla chair back to allow his partner to take notes. Neither noticed the other, however, excepting ence, and that was when "Blllle" first came in and saw his former "darling in a new suit of dark material and the silver fox furs he had purchased for her. He glanced In her direction nervously once or twice and then, pulling off a new pair of gray gloves, began to gnaw at his finger tips.

Says Plaintiff la Bad. Mrs. Forbes, as she now calls herself her testimony covered a period during which she. was known by several names wss the principal witness of the day for the defense. She, aa well as all tbe other witnesses heard at both morning and afternoon -sessions, devoted herself to attacks upon the plaintiff's character.

If a third of the things said are true. Joe," as "Donkey Boy Blllle" affectionately termed her, will stand little chance ot winning her case. Yet last night her lawyers were as confident as ever and declared that the very fact that any witnesses were Introduced aided their client. The names of a number of persona who have not figured In the case before at least not publicly were brought In yesterday. One of these was Julius N.

Heldeman, member ot the law firm ot Cox, Heldinan A Shor-tle. He originally was an attorney for the complainant. Just before his name waa brought In, and when it was apparent that it would be. Mr. Trude.

for the defense, asked that a certain question go unanswered, "in tbe Interests of the bar of Illinois." "There are a number of parties to this suit who haven't been mentioned yet," said Mr. Bishop, for the complainant, "but the bar of Illinois isu't one of "Weil.

And she did. to the surprise.

Trude mentioned some name to his messenger, and a gorgeously gowned woman came forward. She wore a heavy veil, and It was not until she gave her name that she was recognized aa the woman so well known In connection with one ot Chicago's great financiers, and who afterward married the son of Congressman Robert R. Hitt. "My name?" she repeated, in a languid voice, to the first question, raising a huge bunch of violets to her face. "My name Is Mrs.

Gladys Forbes. I live at 142 Twenty-First street." "MarrledT" asked ex-Judge Payne, ignoring the emphasis she put on the "Mrs." "Well. I have been married. There was a divorce." she added, tapping the railing nervously her gray gloves. "You know tbe complainant, Mrs.

Moffltt, cr Mrs. Pike, as she now calls beriellT" asked tbe defense. "Oh. yes. I have known her since 1896." Then Mrs.

Forbes went on to teil how the complainant had come to her with letters of Introduction from Mrs. Hanklns. wife of a well-known gambler. She acted first asma'fi and then as companion, the wltneese said. Later tbe complainant left her, but they remained good friends, she said, until Mrs.

Forbes and she hsd some trouble over the charging of a doxen cream puffs snd sn angel-food cake to tbe Moffitt-Pike account la the bakery beneath the Follansbee flats. In the meantime, the witness said, she and Jo, as she called the plaintiff, visited a plan la Ruth street, the heme of Marion Doaae, a mutual friend. "Tell what occurred," said Mr. Trude. Mra.

"Well, Jo and I had been in there only few minutes, when two gentlemen entered," she began. "Gentlemen Inquired Attorney Bishop. He saw a chance to get back at the defense for William Hale Thompson's characterisation of his client as one of "a bunch of females." So he asked how she knew they were "gentlemen." "Because they acted real nice and bought wine," answered Mrs. Forbes. Then aha picked up the thread of her narrative and went cn: "We had a couple of bottles ot wine, and cne of the gentlemen said be thought Jo was an awful nice girl.

Then he took her on his lap and kiseed her. Then he had another bottle of wine. Then he kissed her again. Then we went home." "Who were these gentlemen asked Mr. Bishop.

"Why, they were' introduced to us as 'Tin Colonel and The "But neither kissed your' suggested Mr. Bishop. "No, Indeed, sir! I as a respectable married oman," said Mrs. Forbes Indignantly. "Who as your husband at that time, madarae?" "Why, it as let me see why, Mr.

Inquiry as to the date finally being dropped because of the witnesa' poor memory, she proceeded to tell how, in her opinion.

Josie Moffltt plotted to capture "Billie" Pike or persuade his family to give up some ef the father's millions. She began with referring to "Blllle" driving past the flat one day. I asked Jo if she would like to have him come up and see her. This was last November, I think, after they had separated, snd she said she didn't want to see him. that all she was after was his money.

I asked her what she was going to do, and she said she didn't know, but she thought If she could get some reporters to go out and see Mrs. Pike, Billie's mcthcy, the family would settle with lilili 1 i i i- "Tn'nni. at. THEODORE J. SHAFFER.

"She told me she had been to see Lawyer Trude, but couldn't go back to him and have bim push the cash because she had told him that she had a written marriage contract with Billie. and she didn't want the lawyer to know she had lied to him." With this Mrs.

Forbes was given over to the cross-examination. The first question Mr. Bishop asked was as to the manner qf her support. "I why, I keep roomers, sir." the witnesa answered. "Oh, yes.

And now, Mrs. Shannon began Mr. Bishop. "Mrs. Forbes, if yon please," Interrupted the witness.

"Oh, yes, so It Is. But you once were married to Mr. Shannon?" "No, not exactly married." answered Mrs. Forbes, biting the edge of her veil and again using the bunch of violets as a mask. "But you see he and I took a little excursion to St.

Joe, and when we came back people said we had been married and so we kept up the Joke." "You were known as Mrs. Shannon, then, wife of Tom Shannon, tbe bookmaker? "Yes." coyly admitted Mrs. Forbes. "But before this, while you were Mrs. Hitt.

"Mrs. Pike? No. I never met the lady. I know her son." responded Mrs. with cutting sarcasm.

"I meant "tha complainant," said Mr. Bishop hastily. Mrs. Forbes smiled at her momentary triumph. And when the lawyer repeated the question and named a date she declared Mr.

Hitt was not In the city at that time that he was dodging tbe police authorities. This and one other date were tbe only ones she waa able to fix. The other one related to a conversation she had with the complainant about a year ago. "I think It was the first week in November," said the witness. Mr.

Bishop wondered, he said, that the witness could get a date down to within a week when she hadn't been able to fix years before. He continued "And you sent Mra Pike, the complainant, an invitation to call "I wasn't sending out invitations then." retorted Mrs. Forbes. "I waa in the hospital." Denies Working- Aa-alnat Plaintiff. It was while the witness was 111 la the hospital, she said, that she arranged te go to the Follansbee flats, where the complainant lived at that time, and board.

She denied that she- begged to be allowed to go to "Jo's place" in order that she might gather evidence for the defense, as Mr. Bishop tried to bring out. She denied, too, that she had offered to testify to anything la support what the complainant might say. on a promise of half ot what might be obtained. Then the plaintiffa lawyer, for some reason not apparent, asked her what conversation had taken place about the Pike affair "Jo came to me and asked me to say that she and Blllle had been married.

I knew that was a lie. and, of course. I refused to cay anything of the kind. I knew It would be wrong, so I told my husband about "Which husband?" Interrupted Mr. Bishop.

"Why er er Mr. Shannon, of course," aaswered Mrs. Forbes, after a moment's hesitation and recourse to the violets. "What did he say?" "He said it was a shame to try and blackmail Billie, because he was such a nice little fellow. He said It would be a good thing to tell his brother Gene." "Yon mean Eugene R.
