O0OO00OO0OOOOOOOOO60OOOOOO0OOOOOOO0OOOOOO00OOOOOOOOOO Republican Organization in Congress, After Passing Through Something of a Crisis, Has Taken a Fresh Grip. ADMINISTRATION MAKING GOOD Men in High Places in the Party, However, if Con tinued in Leadership, Wii Complicate the Situation. THE NEWS BUREAU. WASHINGTON. Feb.

7. The Taft program hu.s furnished already a rallying ijoiiu for the Republican host. It is not true that they have all rallied, but they know what is expected ot them, the gix-at majority respond at the rest will come In their own time. The Republican organization presents at this time one of the Interesting things which has become its habit. It has been passing thiough something of a crisis.

Senators and Representatives alike have broken off here and there, talked loud and large for he papers, have furnished copy for no end of correspondence and the inspirations and predictions that the G. O. P. was breathing Ite last. Independent newspapers and the yellows have had a picnic most all the winter over the moribund condition of the majority.

Discipline Conspicuous. rjut careiui ouservers see inai independence and the discipline of the Republican army the discipline depending on the intelligence are asserting themselves and the magnificent quality of that political organization is already, much earlier in the year than usual, Dcginning to make useii icn and seen. President Taft had to begin where President Roosevelt broke orr. A man whose work had been entirely judiclal and administrative is sud- nf tha nstinn to give the word in politics. and in suc cession to ine master pwimuidii ern times.

It would have been a miracle, Hiueeu, u-iueic imi c. disappointment to some extent over the ways 01 juuge iaii tuiiiiiwi those of hia immediate predecessor. But Judge Taft is proving an aipt student In high politics and Is rapidly mastering the Intricacies of hi position. No Longer Drifting. Where the majorty were drifting not long since they have a definite Idea set before them and that is that they shall carry out the pledges of the Chicago platform of 1908 and they have before them also a definite program for present consideration.

That program meets with the general approval of the party. It opposed by hardly any, even of the most resolute of the insurgents, and has already set everyone going, so that the magnificent discipline of the great Republican army is such that while its opponents are cheering themselves with the hope that next fall we shall see only the broken remnants of the organization, Its friends feel that it will make-as splendid and successful a showing as ever. But it Is not to be thought that the battle is over yet or that It is much more than fairly begun. There are two or three men in high place In the Republican party who may be continued In leadership but if they are, the situation now perilous, must become critical. It Is because of the belief that the authorship rather than the power of Speaker Cannon will be steadily diminished and because of the belief that the President will not be dominated by Senator Aldrlch in the Senate and men of his kind, that confidence In success Is held on the level and even gains strength.

Mr. Cannon antagonized the entire (Continued on Page Seven. Flret Column.) NOW ON TRIAL Second Petticoat Court-martial Begins Today at the Charles-town Navy Yard BOSTON, Feb. 7. The second of the "women's court-martials" was opened 1.

KING OF CARNIVAL HAILED AT NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, Feb. J. Hailing Rex, "King of the Carnival," New Orleans today approaches the climax of Mardl ftras festivities.

Below zero temperatures were plentifully registered on street thermometers while in suhurbnn territory the mercury sank several degrees lower, and from up-State came word of drops of 10 to 20 degrees below. The entire East, in fact, today was in the grip of the winter's best effort to beat the record. Along the Atlantic coast, such a combination of zero temperatures with high gales his seldom been recorded. More than 500 persons were sheltered last night in New municipal lodging house, and record numbers were accommodated In the city's various charitable Institutions.

Effects of the intense cold were strongly in evidence down the harbor where liners and merchantmen sailed into port in ghostly array. Frozen solid to the decks where flying spray had struck were masses of fee in some cases six inches thick Along the waterfront the fear is freely expressed that Herman Snyder of 276 Swan street was not the only fisherman who lost his life on the ice yesterday. All the professional fishermen are accounted for, but the men at tho fishhouses say that close to 50 amateurs went out on the lake yester day and while there is no way of checking those who returned, it is. thought more than possible that some of thf-m were lost in the storm which baflled even the old, experienced ice fishermen. A party of five fishermen, including Sam Crockett, who was lost yester-dny.

started out early this morning in fpitc of the biting cold. They took thefr dogs and tackle with them and Intend to fish, but their real object is to scour the ice for those who may have been overcome by the storm. Lying in bed at his home at 274 Swan street with his-tare swollen and raw from frost bites, Fraak Preston this morning told to a NEWS man the story of how he dragged his friend and "boss" Herman Snyder mile after mile across the ice only to have him die at the journey's end. Both men were employed at the Niagara Linseed works. Frank Preston's Story.

"We started out about 6 o'clock in the morning," snid Preston. "It wasn't storming then nor very cold.

I have been fishing on the ice every winter for years, but was new to Herman. "The track was not benten at first, but -we followed the trail of some fellows ahead of us and It wasn't bad. It was cold, but nothing terrible.

We both trudged along all right and scon passed the Richardson wreck, where some men were already fishing. We kept on. going about a mile and three-quarters farther out onto the lake. Then we out two holes in the U-e about 100 feet apart, set tip wind-brikes and started to fish, Herman at one hole and I at the other. Walk Heated Snyder.

'Walking out here was pretty hot he said to me while we were putting up the second windbreak, 'it warmed me up so that my shirt feels wet, now that we're standing still, and it's mighty cold." "I told him that he should not have bundled up so while we were walking, that he should have gone without his outer coat so that he would have that to put on when he started to sit around fishing.

This applies to corporations organized under the act or under the laws of any State or foreign country. Nor shall any of these corporations have banking powers.

As a result of Srequent Cabinet meeting discussions of the bill, the present draft differs greatly from that originally presented by Attorney-General Wick- lersham to the President consider ation.
