Nov. 29. 8nntnr Eugene Hulr of Maine, republican leader of the Bnnte by virtue of his position as cha'r nuin of the party csunn and the committer! on appropriations, foresees little accom plishment In the coming short session of congreps. Ilryond the passage of the usual appropriation bills nad -poss My of an ap port.onment measure and one providing an ocean mall bounty he believes no Important bulnexH will he transacted. "The democratic party." he said, "has captured the house of representatives by a isreut majority and has almost captured the senate, and with the country appar ently bohind It, will. I have no doubt. In alst upon taking Its natural responsibilities. "Should an expiring congress. In Its last days, undertake by any death bed action to rob the victorious party of Its natural Inheritance It will be resisted to the utmost and notlilnK w!ll follow but a protracted strugslo which will shut out certain Im portant measures which otherwise may perhaps carry In both hous.a." Mr. Halo was emphatic In his declaration that there would be no tariff legislation in the coming session. He went so far as to express the Tonvlctlon that while the pres dent may surest a general program he will not try to force It on congress. Mr. Hale rrmie It clear that he was not speak ing for the president nor In any way fore casting the probable attitude of the chief executive. Kstra Session Improbable. Dismissing the question of an extra ses sion as "most Improbable." Mr. Hale dis cussed the proposed ocean mall subsidy measure. "With the Central and South American trade rapidly Increasing and ready to oome to us." he said, " we ought to pass some bill to aid In establishing steamship lines to command this trade. We can pas auch a bill, limiting It. If necessary, to Central and South America, almost any Oay . hi- Mie senate, and suo1i a measure must, of course, take Its chances In tho house, which I am led to believe may be found, more favorable at this session than It has Veen before. "We shall, I suppose, as usual in the short session, pass the new apportionment bill, under which the next congressional elections will be held. In this action, as to the numbers and membership of the house of representatives and the appor tionment to the dlferent states, the senate generally has deferred to the Judgment and action of the house." Mr. Hale declared he did not look for ward to a combination of the so-called In surgent force with the democratic party, "either now or hereafter." ) He said he fully expected to seen the re publican party In congress get together again and present a united front to the majority. Incidentally, he referred to the nsurgent leaders as "men of conviction and natural force of character." " 'Whom the I.ord loveth he chaBlen eth,"' said the senator, "and the defeats of 1910 will do the party good. It must bear Its reverses and make the best of It. Painful as It Is, It must submit to Its Ittemporary reverses and defeats and must bear up as well as It may, under even such calamities as the repulse of Roose velt and the lamentable overthrow of Hevertdge " Mr. Hale declared ha had little fear of any long continuance of domestic ascend ancy In politics. Republican policies under President Taft's leadership, he said, "would triumph again." V.ncent Riondo, the man who saw the tragical happening, nays that ono member of the party dropped to the rrnr of the others as they were walking nlong the street. There wns a flash, a shot- and on f the men in the group fell to the side walk. The others leaned over the fallen man an instant and then ran off. A po liceman and an ambulance surgeon who were summoned found tlio man dond. There was nothing about the muidered mm to Identify him. His clothing was of good quality and the softness of his hands ndleated that Tic was unused to hard woik. Tre label of a Ilrnadway clothier on his coat gave the police their only clue to work upon. The authorities have Instituted a wide spread search for the dead man's com panions. Although the dead man was Identified this afternoon as John Nicholas Kerner, a young married man of the middle went side, clues to the man's assailants proved elUBlv-e. The police developed the theorf, however, that the young man was the vic tim of gang members who bore some grudge against him. Amounted from Thirty-Five to Forty Per Cent.

Nov. 29. -President Taft Informed his cabinet officers, after scrut inizing the final drafts of the estimates of the various government departments for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1911, that there must be a further and deeper cut In them; that they would not do In their breaent form. In response to the urgent demands of the president, the heads of the various depart ments already had held their estimates 4own to what. they considered rockbottom figures. The president today, however, po oled out a number of places where he declared the pruning knife could be used t j advantage. The president went Into the details of ach department.

Witness (alia Attention to Lake and Rati Advances from Ten to Tnrn-ty-Klve Per Cent In Last Decade. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. Five experts for the shippers testified today before the Interstate Commerce commission In Inves tigation of the proposed rate Increases. On adjourning until tomorrow the commission announced that the arguments of the east ern and western increase caes, cosoll- dated, would be heard December 9. Today's testimony tended to show that the proposed Increases, which the roads claim will Involve a net additional revenue of $27,000.0ii0 in the official classification ter ritory, extending from New Kngland to the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, were unjust and un fairly distributed. There was discui-sion also of rebates, the high oost of living and other questions. t Witnesses on Stand. The only witness who did not agree to the unfairness of the raUs was C. C. Mc Cains of New York, chairman of the Trunk Dine association, who was called to ex plain a pamphlet which he prepared for the railroads as an argument for the in creases. Other witnesses were D. O. Ives of Boston, chairman of the traffic com mission of the trade organizations of the Atlantic seaboard; J. L. Tlttlemore of Omro, Wis.; Edward S. Orr of St. Louis and K. K. Williamson of Cincinnati, com missioner for the shippers' btireau. Mr. Orr testified that rebates were gen eral !n St. IjOuIs on the first three classes of freight In the old days, frequently amounting to 35 or 40 per cent of the standard rates. Mr. Ives, whose organization represents shipping Interests In New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Now Jersey, Mary land and Virginia, declared that the rebate had been abolished effectually, but agreed that when the practice existed the rebates reached 35 or 40 per cent. He caused laughter when he admitted that In the case of the railroad with which he Is con nected all "the shippers" certainly did not get the benefit of rebates. Mr. Ives main tained that the railroad men were sin cerely trying to do away absolutely with preferences, whether rebate or otherwise. No Rebates Now. "Tho preferences that exist todav are In the tariffs themselves?" asked Chairman I Knapp. "Absolutely," replied the witness. "And the instances of secret departures from the published tariffs are infrequent?" "More than that, they are accidental," replied Mr. Ives. Contending that It was unjust to at tempt a blanket' advance In class rates from the seaboard to western territory, he maintained that a 29 per cent advance from Chicago to Illinois and Wisconsin and west of the Mississippi would not equalize a 20 per cent advance from the seaboard to Illinois under present condi tions. Mr. Ives called attention to lake and rail advances aggregating from 10 to 25 per cent In the last decade In addition to the changes in classification. He claimed that tho proposed horizontal rate Increase is arbitrary and made without considering its results to the Industries af fected. He criticized the trunk line traffic executives for refusal to consider each ar ticle on Its merits. The 20 per cent ad vance on the first five classes, declared Mr. Ives, while an excessive Increase is not the maximum Increase contemplated, for he said large additional burdens are laid on the lake transportation which does not even have the Justification of any extraordinary Increase In wages. Mr. Ives contended that proposed hori zontal Increases would distort existing trade relations, that it Is unjust to Impose the burden' of the whole rate on 25 per cent of the traffic, which can only result in les freight between the eart and the west, with Its accompanying localization, lessen ing of competition and ultimate Increase in the cost of living to the consumer far be yond the Initial Increase In rates. Increases Have Been General. J. L. Tlttlemore of Omro, Wis., testified that rate classification Investigations he had made between 1900 and 1510 showed that during the decade sustained Increases In rates had been made on more than 600 articles and sustained decreases on 2S1 through changes in classification. He contended that class rate bore more heavily on the necessaries of life than did the commodity rates and that the latter were open system of rebating. Mr. Tlttlemore said he had been unable to find that any classified ratings had oeen cnangeu to commodity ratings. He said that the railroads proposed to put the burden of $27,iO.00O Increase estimated for tne omciai ctaaaincatlon territory on 10 per cent of all tonnage.

PLANS FOR THECONSECRATIOH Presiding Bishop of the Church Ap proves Arrangements. BISHOP TUTTLE HAS ARRIVED Noted Prelate Was in Oaaaaa Thirty Six Years As;o on a. Similar Mis . alon, When Bishop Garrett Wjta rirrlM. All Is In readiness for the consecration on Wednesday morning at Trinity cathedral of Very Rev. G. A. Beecher as bishop of the missionary district of Kearney. Final approval of all plans was given Tuesday mnrnlni bv the rjresldinK bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church. Right Rev. D. S. Tuttle, bishop of Missouri. Ilishnn Tuttle. who arrived In the City early Tuesday morning, was taken to the home of C. W. Lyman, 8620 Farnam street, where he will be a guest during his stay. At 10:30 he held a conference there with Dean Beecher and Bishops Williams and Garrett. It is not bv anv means the first visit to Omaha of the first figure in the Protestant Episcopal church, for Bishop Tuttle was here thirty-six years ago this fall, and here on a similar mission. In the same church. Trinity cathedral, Bishop Tuttle preached the sermon at the consecration or tne tnen dean of the cathedral, Alexander Charles Garrett, who was made biHhop of Dallas. Now another dean Is to be consecrated, Bishop Tuttle has become presiding bishop of the church and Bishop Garrett haa come here to preach the sermon. Bishop Tuttle Ws been a bishop of the church forty-three years, which Is about the same length of time that Henry W. Yates has been a vestryman of Trinity. Bishop Tuttle was ordained a deacon In New York City In 1862, forty-eight years ago. He has been presiding bishop since the death of Bishop Clark of Rhode Island in 1903, and he has been bishop of Missouri for twenty-four years. Before that he was within a few months of having been bishop twenty years of Montana, Idaho and Utah, then all in one missionary district. Presiding; Bishop Here. The consecration of bishops Is peculiarly the province of the presiding bishop of the church, and he either attends in person or nominates a commission of three bishops, who perform the ceremony under his direc tions. In the ecclesiastical world the office of presiding bishop is somewhat analogous to the primacy of the Anglican church, the archbishop of Canterbury being always the primate. But the powers of the arch bishop of Canterbury are considerably greater In an executive way than those of the presiding bishop of the church In America. "Omaha loses a helpful citizen and Trinity parish a faithful dean in the ele vation of Dean Beecher," said Bishop Tuttle. "I find that churchmen and citi zens generally here are sorry to part with him." The order of services for Wednesday begins with a celebration of holy coin- Auto Speeder Rushes to Relief of Men Overcome by Gas Percy Hawkins, Arrested in Chicago, Gains Good Will of Police by Of , fering Car for Emergency. CHICAGO, Nov. 29. Percy Hawkins saved himself a fine for automobile speed ing and the good will of the policeman who had arrested him, when he volun teered the use of his machine in rushing to the aid of a family reported overcome by gas In their home. Hawkins had been brought Into the police station and he was arranging with the desk sergeant for his release on bail. The sergeant's telephone rang and over It an agonized voice screamed: "Oh! hurry to 850 Sedgewlck street, of ficer; there's three men here dying; they were overcome by gas." The sergeant repi..ed the request, and Hawkins Insisted on the use of his ma chine. Municipal Judge Blake, hearing the story, dismissed Hawkins. The men over come by gas recovered.

Nov. 29 .-(Via El Paso.) While the insurrectionists retreated, following their skirmish with government troops at the very galea of this city last Sunday, they gained their object, which was to prevent the government regaining control of the Mexico & Northwestern rail road from this point to Mlnaca. The In surgents lost seven killed and three prison ers. They removed their wounded. Their dead were brought here In wagons. The government Tones loM one dead and six wounded.

WASHINGTON, Nov. .-Denylng a petition for the establishment of the "stop of; privilege on wool at Detroit," the In terstate Commerce commission today an nounced that It had found the present blanket, any-quantlty rate of 50 cents per 100 pounds on wool, "In the grease," ap plying from Chicago, Detroit and othei points to Boston, was not unduly discrimi natory or unreasonable as applied to De troit. The stop-off privilege sought tl for tho purpose of storing, grading and repacking. The commission says the western car riers as a matter of policy give Omaha a certain privilege which the eastern road deny to Detroit. Injuring Detroit to soint extent, but the commission adds that it it difficult to see how that can be remedied, because the carrying lines are not tri same and to uphold the Detroit claim would Justify or require a wide extenstos of the pilvllege to other points. The commission believes thst such privi leges should be curtailed because they art "the source and aggravating cause of maujr bt Ui must acrlous oompialuts."
