Some Insurgents Won't Support Rail and Conservation Ideas. Washington , .Ian till The- tout state _ In which the lopuhllcan putty In con-i gross finds itself Is shown by the an tagonisms which exist not only with respect to the house organization , bul In refcri'iice to the president's legis lative1 piogram. The original icvolt Is against the rules which govern the house and the lelgn eif Spealu't Cannon. Opposition has developed among the standpat it-publicans to the conservation vation of tosoiirees tccominondatlons of President Taft. In the same inmitor the-io Is opposi tion to I'lesltlcnt Taft's reconimenda- tlons for the Mention of a postal sav ings bank system Among the Insui gents and some of the standpat icpublle-ans there Is op position to the administration's hill for the tegulalion of tailroads. Objection to the ship subsidy legis lation prevails In both factions. The foiegolng shows thai Ihe dove of peace has not leturnod to Its nest on the majoiity side of the house of representatives. Roali/ing this fait , President Taft proposes to continue to us > e his good oJIkos to lemove- the differences which pit-vail In the hope thai bcfoic Ihe presenl session of congress closes Ihe party will be untiled. Through Ihe decision to .supersede the committee on rules by causus ac tion the adminibti atlon believes one cause of Iho ellsagicenicnl among the K-puhlicans In the house has been re moved. The expectation thai Cannuon will announce his determination not to ho a candidate for ro election as jspeaker will have , it is hoped , a further soothing effect. Finally , the enactment - ment of legislation in accordance with the provisions of the icpiiblican plat form will foim a base upon which Ihe entlte patty may stand. The iiibiiigouts ate expressing some dissatibfattion with Ihe caucus ar- rangomenl believing il to be a Irap. They feai if they go into n caucus it-bo- lution will be put thiough making the decision of the majority binding upon all members of the party. Theie are also borne features of Mr. Taft's legislative program which they do not fool they can support. For instance , there are details of the ad ministration's lailioad bill which , In their judgment , practically dealt oy the piinciples enunciated by the presi dent in bib special message. Suppose , they abk , Ihal Ihe admlnislialion bill Is presented at the caucus as a party meabino Must they pledge thorn- solvob to vole for a measure which , In their view , fails to teach the evils of which the countiy now complains ? The insui gents insist that in the agieement reached by Representative Hayes uith Ihe piesident no elctlsion was t cached with lospoct lo ftttute caucusob. Al Ihe same lime il is ap- paie-nt to liibingents that they will be placed in an oinbanassing posi tion by a refusal to attend a meetIng - Ing called to consider r. lecommeiiela- lion of the president based upon a platfoim promise. To stay away un doubtedly would lend more or less weight to the chaige thai they were not republicans. APPENDIX WORTH $25,000. Omaha Woman Sues Surgeon Who Cut it Out. Omaha , Neb. , Jan. U9. Special Figuring thai her appendix was worth $25,000 , Miss Lillian Robotham , a pret- ly young woman of Omaha , has sued Dr. Arthur C. Stokes for this sum , al leging thai she has sustained damages by reason of having the apparently useless organ removed from her anat omy without her knowledge or con sent. In her petition filed in court Miss Kobotham alleges that she was given a close of morphine , put into a deep sloop and while sleeping the appen dix that was "well and heaity" was cut out Dr. Slokes Is a well-known surgeon of Omaha , but he refuses to discuss the Milt brought against him by Miss Robotham , contending that il will be his turn to talk when called upon the vvltnesb stand to make his defense. As Miss Robotham tells the story , last May she visited Dr. Stokes and' talked with him with reference to a treatment for enlarged \aritocelo veins. At thai lime , so she avers , ho told her Ihal Ihe trouble with her was thai she had an appendix Ihal needed to bo removed. "I did not believe this , " states the plaintiff in her petlllon. "although he said It had gone to such a point thai operallon was necessary. " In October Miss Robotham says she again called on Ihe doclor and had n consullallon vvllh him. with the result that on the lasl day of Ihe month she went to the Swedish hospital , where she expected to have an operation on the veins. On the following clay , when the operation was to have boon per formed , she was taken Into the operal- ing room , given morphine and became * unconscious. When she tame oul from under the inllucnco of the drug she says there was a small Incision where the varicose vein had boon and a still larger ono at a point vvheio her ap- pomlix had formerly rested. She after- wards found out that while uncon scious her appendix had been removed. Now she wants damages. MONDAY MENTION. Horn , to Mr. and Mrs. C. O. lleelilck , a daughter.
