Democrats Will Not De
I.onst In Power.
WASHINGTON. 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.

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. Increases, he de-

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-

CHICAGO, Nov. 29. Percy Hawkins
saved himself a fine for automobile speed

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

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

Mexican Insurgents Control
Section of Northwestern Road
CHIHl'AHUA. Mex.. 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.
General Navarro returned to this city
with his force to await reinforcements! It
is rt poi ted that the Insurrectos have buen
reinforced by bands from Parral and that
In all they number about l.'JO. They are
ald to have fortified a number of portions
ulcng the line. With this condition con
fronting him there Is nothing for General
Navarro to du until his little army of 4o0
haa been at leust redoubled. It Is under
stood here that reinforcements have been
ordered to proceed from the City of Mexico.
There !a no excitement here. It Is ad
mitted that the situation Is more serious
than had been reported, but that the paci
fication of the towns along the railroad la
confldenly bulieved to be merely a matter
of time. If yesterday's fight Is prophetic,
as It probably Is, lively fighting In the
mountains Is prospective.
Both Udes used steel Jacketed bullets In
Sunday's fighting and all of the wounds
inflicted were clean. Three American physi
cians, Doctors Commons, Tye and Shaw,
asiHted In dressing the wounded.
WASHINGTON. Nov. .-Conditions In
Mexico are rapidly approaching a normal
status and the revolutionary disturbances
are believed to be practically confined to
the state of Chihuahua. Such is the tone
of a telegiam received by the State de
partment today from Henry Dane Wilson,
Culled blalea ambassador to Mexico.

DETROIT DENIED STOPOVER
RATE ON WOOL SHIPMENTS
Commission Holds Aetlon of Westers
Carriers Regarding; Omaha is Not
Good Precedent.
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."
