A Washington dispatch to the Herald says : In the basement of the white houso' ofllces Is an apparatus which looks something like an open refrigerator. I ' . ' It has several large shelves mndo of strips , with open spaces between them , ' and through the celling pipes lend to ( various looms above. It Is known as the "dog days cool er , " nnd has been adopted by the president because ho has been In- , j formed J that Its use will lower the . temperature In the rooms from ton to twenty degrees. It holds eight tons of Ice. When chemicals , which also are to be used , are applied and the suction fans turned on , no heated Im agination will bo nble to withstand the cooling effect. All signs Indicate that Its use will . bo demanded In Washington long beii . fore the summer comes. Indeed , it Is predicted that soon after the Sixty- ' first congress meets In regular session the president will have to summon Speaker Cannon , Senator Cummins , J Senator La Follette , Representative Victor Murdoch , and a few other aglf tated and agitating western politicians to the ofllces nnd place them in the frigid draught. The president , in the interest of getting legislation next winter , Is i ' rather i in favor of a cessation of hos- j tilltles 1 , but the violent attack made 1 on ' Mr. Cannon and "Cannonism" by [ Senator I Cummins , in Chicago recent-1' ' ly , and the reply mndo by the speaker , last 1 Friday night , at Bloomlngton , 111. , lend color to the view that the fight will have to come off on the floor of the house of representatives before much can be done in the way of legis lation. When Senator Cummins , a member of another branch of con gress , but who controls nearly the entire Iowa delegation , dedicates his life to over-throwing the speaker of the house , and the speaker replies with accusations of lying and bribery , there would seem to bo no middle ground until there has been a meas uring of strength in the open. At the same time there Is a feel ing growing In Washington that the "Insurgents" In the house will be able to muster up no more strength than during the tariff fight. If they are stronger than they were In August that fact Is not known here. If their | constituencies are still in favor of having another long period of revision , it is not voiced by the reports that are reaching the president and Repre sentative John W. Dwlght , the repub lican "whip" of the house , who keeps fairly good track of the varying moods of congressional idiosyncrasy. Indeed It is pointed out as a significant fact that Senator Cummins , who before the president made his speech at Wi- nona , Minn. , on the tariff was in favor of Immediate revision , has altered his programme and is now talking in fav or pf the abstract proposition of a tariff commission. The men from the west , who are In the "Insurgent" camp and also in a hopeless minority in their party , It Is pointed out here , have failed to note one most Important fact In the shifting of the political power. For many years the middle west controlled congress. The states of Iowa , Illi nois , Minnesota , Wisconsin , Indiana , Minnesota , Ohio , Michigan , Kansas and Nebraska stood together. The large republican majorities and the constant increase in the congressional representation caused the balance of political power ; so long as there was a reasonable measure of solidarity among the representatives , to/ slip across the Alleghanies. Thus , when Speaker Reed retired from the house that great growth of the middle west enabled the late David B. Henderson to win the speakership. Now York was divided , the east could not agree and the gavel of the house went be yond the Mississippi. Again , when Mr. Henderson retired , Joseph G. Cannon succeeded him by the employment of the same cohesive methods. The west was in the saddle. So long as it stood together it was in vincible. But the geographical lines have changed in consequence of the agi tation for low tariff and changes in the Cannon rules. The west Is no longer solid. It 1ms deliberately lot slip Its chance further to control the country and practically every import ant committee that holds the purse strings. It is divided. A portion of It Is fighting "Undo Joe. " Another portion is lighting for him. The whole western country , in consequence of the "politics" played by Messrs. La Follotte , Cummins , Nelson , Clapp BrJstow , Brown and Burkett , who , al though In the senate , claim the right to control votes in the house , Just as Platt and Quay did in the days of their power as bosses , has lost its Influence , maintained si long as Its statesmen etood together. As a result the east and the Pa cific coast will corao Into their own again. Neither of these sections has any patience with the "insurgents , " who started out demanding tariff revi sion and wound up by talking tariff commission. Neither section Is in sympathy with the lower tariff ele ment in the party , and , supported by the votes which will follow "Uncle Joe" in the middle west , will , It Is predicted , now control the house and elect the next speaker , In case the republicans win the congressional elections in 1910. The declaration made by Mr. Cannon in his speech at Bloomlngton that Herman Rldder promised him the support for the president of the re publican newspaper press in case he would pass a bill giving the nowspa pors i frco paper Is likely to prove damaging to the anti-Cannon cause. The speaker Is represented hero as daring to go to any lengths to save himself. He has been pictured as \vltli his back to the wall. Friends of the president see that if the fight i 1 gets much moro violent there Is small' I chance of getting any legislation durIng - , Ing ' the winter. At the proper time jl he Is expected to use his Influence ns ' peacemaker. I NO NORTH-WESTERN ISSUE. Officers Deny Report That New Stock Is to Be Sold. Now York , Nov. 20. The Now .York Times says : Revival of the rumor that the Chicago cage & North-Western Is planning an Issue of new stock to the extent of ono new share for aach four shares now outstanding , has brought out the statement from nn officer of the com pany I that no action has yet been taken regarding a new Issue of stock. There Is about seventy-eight million dollars of authorized common stock which the company has not yet Issued , and this the directors have authority to t authorize at any tlmo up to such amount ' as they may deem neccsssary for f the needs of the company. Before j the t directors can' take any such action , however 1 , they must first , under the laws 1 of Michigan , make application for f approval of the Issue by the rail way commission. Vice President Oshorn now points out this fact , saying that the North- Western's policy was to keep the pub- He fully Informed regarding Its affairs , and that any Issue of stock by the company ( would he made public about as quickly ns the directors of the road j themselves ' decided on the matter. No meeting ' of directors was held ycstor- day , but President Hughitt was expected - pected In the city , and It was thought In Wall street that his coming In- dlcated a directors' meeting with the next few days. j j A LARIAT WON OVER BULLETS. Officers Who Had Been Cowboys . Caught a Fleeing Thief. I Rawlins , Wyo , , Nov. 20. Unable to check his flight by scores of revolver shots fired for the purpose of frightening - ening him into surrendering , deputy sheriffs brought their skill with the lariat into play and roped Maxim As- asomasor , charged with robbing Union Pacific box cars. Asasomasor escaped through an underground - derground passage leading to a cave from his house , which had been surrounded - i rounded by deputies for four days. He fled bareheaded and bare footed through the sage brush and over a snow covered prairie for a distance of five miles , undaunted by bullets whiz zing'about him. I i "Shoot me , I'll not bo taken alive , " i shouted the fugitive to his pursuers. 1 But he had not reckoned about the skill of the deputies , all of whom are ex-cowpunchers , and soon a lariat skillfully thrown tightened under his arms and held him captive. NEED FOOD , NOT MEDICINE. Physicians Find Many Pupils Suffer ing From Ill-Nourishment. Kansas City , Nov. 20. "Many cases of anaemia and inanition , the result of lack of nourishment , were found in the schools I inspected. What can be expected of children who have been sent to school on a breakfast of weak coffee and a crust of bread ? Some of the pupils were half starved. They i were nervous and exhausted mentally > nnd physically. In New York and l some other cities free noonday luncheons - , eons are provided for the pupils. If Kansas City is to be thorough in the work it has undertaken in the schools this must follow here. " | That is the conclusion reached by I one of the staff of medical examiners , In the schools. Conditions found by some of the other physicians constl-11 1 tute quite ns strong an Indictment of the old system or lack of system which is now being superseded. PINCHOT'S LETTER. President Wants to Retain Plnchot In Conservation Interests. , Washington , Nov. 20. News is not news until It has been published. It seems that the letter from Gifford Plnchot to President Taft was written - ' ten a week or ten days ago , but that both the president nml Plnchot were so successful In keeping it to themselves - selves that nobody on the outside got hold of It until yesterday. Even Seci retnry Carpenter , while knowing that such a letter had been received by the president , apparently did not know that it was a week or ton days old. It has displeased the president very ! much. It seems that the president had i had several conferences witli Pinchot during which the case was all gone over from the Pinchot side. At the conclusion of the last of these con ferences , the president suggested that It might bo n good thing If Plnchot j i wore to reduce his statements to writIng - ! , Ing so that they might bo placed in the white house files for reference. When making this suggestion , It Is said , the president had no 'Idea ' i Plnchot would make the letter as strong as ho did and Indirectly Issue j nn ultimatum. The Plnchot letter has ; been discussed with Secretary Ballln- gor nnd with other members of the cabinet , nnd an answer to It has not yet been prepared. Whether the answer - , swor will bo In writing or verbal Is ! I not known , Indeed , the president Is I said to be undecided as to whether , I to answer it at all. It is evident that the tone of the ( letter was a disappointment to him and that only his good humor and patience prevented him from taking drastic action at onco. The possibility of politics entering into the controversy is said to bo the principal reason why the president Dining Gar Meals and Service "Best in the World" ' Ne v steel passenger equipment the finest that money can buy--afforded to patrons of the Union Pacific "The Safe Road to Travel" Electric block signals--dustless , per fect track. For literature and information mation call on or address C. W. LANDERS , Norfolk , Neb. AGENT. - desires , if possible to keep the peace with Plnchot. The president realizes fully ( the Importance of not making , any conservation "martyrs. " Ho knows j that If ho were to dismiss Pin- chot ( , or oven accept his resignation , which Plnchot has moro than onoo said he was ready to hand in at any j time , a big fuss would ho stirred up among the cuiiKurvnUonists of the country. ( The controversy would focus among , the Insurgents of the middle west states and the difficulty might easily develop into presidential size affecting , in some degree the 1912 cam paign. The president does not want by any act of his to contribute to what might , possibly bo trouble for himself or ( the men in the party who have been standing , behind him. lie therefore un til , now has submitted to nil the talk ing j of the Pinchot people , although It j has required a good deal of patience on his part. But the Pine-hot leter ho does , not like and he still has it un der ( consideration. Mr. Plnchot has published a short statement , saying that he has issued no ! ultimatum to the president or any-1 thing ( resembling one. It Is likely that . he has said In his letter what ho , really believes to be true , but that j his letter to the president is danger-1 ously near being nn ultimatum Is the opinion ( of many who have seen it. It is gingery and peppery to a degree - gree that the administration does not' ' relish. } Gates Will Play O'Neill. Neligh , Neb. , Nov . 20. Sporting Editor The News : A casual reading of the essay written by Ducky McNlc hols , captain of the O'Neill football team , may raise some doubt as to whether the "senseless clamor and baby | play , " and "childish prattle , " has boon i on the part of the "puny , ciga rette-eating , , perfumed boy , " nnd "senseless mutt like Enthusiast No. 2 ; , " from Gates. While neither I nor any ( other person connected with Gates academy , , have or 1ms , heretofore , had 'anything j to do with the controversy appearing in your paper regarding football j between Gates and the O'Neill high ] school , yet the statements made by ] Captain McNlchols are so palpably untrue , that I desire to put the Gates team right with the public. I do not care to comment upon the .alleged "unjust assault upon the foot ball | team , " but on "O'Neill citizenship generally , " as those who have read the , articles published and who are acquainted ] with the facts as they ac tually exist , are probably able to draw their own conclusions ns to whether an injustice has been done. As I did not attend Gates in 1904 , I have no personal knowledge concern- fag I the contests between O'Neill and Gates i on the gridiron during that year ; ' but ] my information , ( which I believe to l be authentic ) is that Professor Bari i ber did not participate In a single i j game | between Gates nnd O'Neill In'y ' the capacity of a player , but that ho did i play with the Neligh high school team I in a game between that Instltu- ' tlon i and n team purporting to bo composed - v posed of players from the O'Neill high , school. i Witli reference to the player T Grabiel i , mentioned In Captain Mec ' Nichols' ; treatise , the records of the t academy i show that Mr. Grablol was t a regularly enrolled student of , nnd c actually i attended , that school during the i year 1901-1905. It might not bo out ( of place hero to state that at least 1 ono of the players from O'Neill , participating In the contest between Gates i and O'Neill at Nollgh the fore- part of the present season , was not a student i of the high school at O'Neill , but was a practicing dentist at that I place. i The statement that O'Neill would be willing to play at Ewing is cer tainly unique , in view of the fact that there is no football field at that place. If O'Neill really Is desirous of playIng - Ing n game of football with Gates , ( which is not borne out by the state ments published and letters from Captain - tain McNlchols to the manager of the Gates team ) , we will play them at No- Ugh on any .date between now nnd Thanksgiving. * Mr. Trommorshausser of Ewlng , to referee the first half , n local man to umpire , officials to change during second half , winner of game to take receipts at gate , or wo will pay O'Noin's expenses and retain j the proceeds of the game. In view of the O'Neill captain's otateraent that the members of his team "were mot _ at every turn with on enthusiastic s hand clasp and a well wish for vic tory , " while at Neligh during the early season , this proposition certainly can not bo said to he unfair , I .regret that wo were not accorded the nbovo treatment while at O'Neill. D. F. Daughhctlc , Captain Gates Football Team. FIGHT HIMSELF INTO SHAPE. Madden Says Jeff Cannot Get Into Condition In a Gymnasium. New York , Nov. 20. William Mad den , who Is now following in the footsteps of Muldoon as n physical culturlst nnd has a health resort not far from this city , says that Jeffries' chances for boating Johnson will bo rather slim unless he indulges In sev eral real fights with second and third raters before he enters the ring with the negro. Madden argues that the mere reduction of weight by dint of constant exercise cannot fit a pugilist after four or five years of idleness , and that there is no way to test one's stamina except in n hard bout of ten or i fifteen rounds where It is neces sary , to give and tnko punishment in addition J to bringing into play all kinds of ( ring tactics. Madden says that Jeffries , when he beat Rublln In five j rounds at Frisco in 1901 , was undoubt edly , the greatest heavy weight who ever , pulled on a glove , Madden still is j n firm believer in Jeffries , but ho is | inclined to doubt the boilormaker's ability to show the wonderful form of eight years ago.
