xraveyard of this little mountain town.
He was laid to rest within a brief time
after the funeral train from Washington
reached the station this morning, bearing
the family and relatives and .the mourn
ing friends, both In official life and out.
Another special train arrived from
Charleston, the state capital, practically
at the same time. It brought Governor
Glasscock, his cabinet, the Justices of the
supreme court and a score or more of state
officials.
The town to which the late senator had
given his name was crowded with mourners
who had thronged there from every direc
tion, many who could not come by rail
drove over the mountain roads to pay a
last tribute. -
All business was suspended, flags flut
tered at half-ataff and windows were
elose-curtalned. The special train from
Washington, consisting of seven cars, bore
a distinguished company.
Representing he srnatewere Senators
Scott. Bacon, Kean. Bailey, Foster, Carter,
Smith ot Maryland and Boot. The houao
delegation Included Representatives Hub
bard. Hughes. Womiyard. Ualnea and
turgls of West Virginia. Andrews of New
Mexico, Rucker of Missouri, Alexander of
New York, Longworth of Ohio, Calder of
Kansas and Danib of Virginia.
'Mrs. Klklna Overcome,
AJrs KIKIns waa not of the party. Over
come by the shock, she waa In such a con
dition that her physician forebade her
leaving Washington.

Katherlne Klklns. Mrs. Sarah Klklris
Oltphant. Davis Elklna, the oldest son of
the senator; Stephen B. Klklns, Jr., of

father of Mrs Klklns, and Richard Klklns
of t'hlladrlphla.
The. funeral services ware conducted by
Rev. r'. H Barron in the Davis Memorial
I'lesbyetrian church. The ceremony waa
simple in the extreme. The burial was In
Maplewood cemetery, which Senator Klklns
and former Senator Davla twenty years
ago planned and laid out.
There were brief rites at the grave by
the local lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons, of which Senator Klklns was a
member.
Immediately after the interment the eon
greaelonal delegation and the other dis
tinguished members of the party returned
to the national capital.
Mlse F.lkins and other members of the
family were of the returning party, all of
them being anxious to rejoin the stricken

Proceed logs of Hons.
The house of representatives devoted
three hours today to discussing the legis
lative, executive and Judicial appropriation
i bill. Two days more may be needed to
dispose of the measure.
Representative Dwlght of New York, re
publican whip of the house, served notice
that all members not officially excused
must attend the sessions of the house or
have the rules, against absence enforced
against them.
The senate waa not in session.
' One hundred and sixty-four absentees In
the house brought Representative Dwlght,
to his feet with a point of no quorum soon
after Speaker Cannon's gavel had fallen at
noon.
This action was taken by Mr. Dwlght to
accentuate the necessity for a full attend
ance of members In the remainder of the
present short term. Only forty-eight legis
lative days remain and Mr. Dwlght said he
would continue dally to make the point of
no quorum to Insure the attendance of
members of the house. ,
Today's call showed only 225 members
present. This was a quorum, but It waa
not the full attendance which the repub
lican leaders are anxloua to maintain.
Assurance of Legislation.
Mr. Dwlght, explaining hia position, said
the republican leaders had assured Presi
dent Taft they would do all in their power
to assist him in putting through a sub
stantial legislative program at this 'session.
Representative Hill of Connecticut and
others who favor Mr. Hllla resolution
limiting the amendments that may be
offered to a tariff bill when It goes Into
the senate were heard today by the house
committee on rules.
The HIU resolution differs materially
from that presented to the senate by Sena
tor Cummins. Mr. Hill believes It will
accomplish the same end. It win not only
force the senate to consider the tariff bill
by subjects instead of a whole, but It wlil
restrict all amendments that may be offered
In the senate to the specific articles named
in the tariff bill. This would apply to-both
houses after the bill had gone to confer
ence and had been returned to the two
houses.
Chairman Payne of the ways and means
committee and Representative Gillette of
Massachusetts spoke upon the resolution
before the committee. The hearing will be
continued Tuesday. J. C. Cobb, president
of the National Tariff association, and
Representatives Norrls of Nebraska. Den
root and Stafford of Wisconsin, McCall of
Massachusetts, Driscoll of New York, and
Crumpacker of Indiana will present argu
ments to the rules committee.
Dispute Over Rele.
More trouble Is In store for the Insurgent
and democratic members of the houae who
are trying to make the new rule giving the
house power to take a bill away from a
committee work smoothly and effectively.
Representative Mann of Illinois on Thurs
day added 107 motions to the number now
pending before the house for the discharge
of committees from the consideration of
various bills. This made 147 auch motions
then on the calendar...
Today Mr. Mann Introduced fifteen sep
arate bills to put necessities of life upon
the free list In the tariff law and he inti
mated he would soon submit motions to
discharge the committee from the consider
ation of these bills, so that they may
come before the house to be voted upon.
All of thefce motions, whiettare author
ized by the rule adopted In the last session,
can be taken up only on .the first and
third Mondays of each month. When the
first test of the rule came. Just before
the Christmas recess. Air. Mann's motion

consideration of the bill to revise the postal
laws, headed the list and the house was
forced to take It up.

The speaker ruled that the bill must be
read In full, while the motion was being
stated. I -ess than fourth ot the bill has
been completed and It remains as the un
finished business on every alternate Mon

The Insurgents are planning to amend
the rules so that the full reading of a bill
will not be necessary when a motion Is put,
but meantime the calendar la being filled

BREAK UP SENATORIAL CAUCUS
Twelve Walk Out by Agreement to
Prevent Selection of Committee
for Session Btlllmnn Will
tle Speaker.
(From a Staff Aorrespondent.)
DK8 MOINES, la. . Jan. 7 Speolal Tele
gram.) The ' organisation of the .legisla
ture' on Monday will be accomplished
without' trouble. : The republican caucuses
were held today and complete slates put
up to be voted at.
The only exlstement was when eleven
of the senators withdrew quietly from the
senate caucus without waiting to finish
the business for which the caucus waa
called. This- was in accordance with a
prearranged plan to prevent the selection
of a caucus committee to have charge of
all caucus matters during the session.
The house republicans agreed not to select
such a committee at thla time, but It
will be aelected later.
Paul 8tillinan of Jefferson was unani
mously named by the house republicans
to be speaker and he will be elected.
Then net results of the day was that
the Ktandputters make It plain that they
will not under any circumstances go into
a caucus, where the matters of the sena
torship is Involved. They may consent
to go Into caucus for printer and binder
and for other purposes, but not to choose
a party candidate for the senate. This
means that when the balloting for s-nator
commences there will be three candidates
to be voted for and a deadlock will be
commenced, which will last most of the
session.
Senator Young went to Washington to
night leaving his candidacy In the hands
of a competent committee. All the other
candidates are on hand,
The democrats of the legislature held
an Informal conference this afternoon for
the purpose of considering a policy for
the session. They decided upon standing
for adoption of the Oregon plan for selec
tion of senators, but not to Interfere In
any way or to help the republicans In
disposing of their factional troubles, and
that they probably will not agree to help
them by supporting a plan for a special
primary.
Fire In Mho Factory.
At an early nour today fire broke out In
the shoe factory of Bentley, & Olmsted, on
Kast Court avenue, and practically de
stroyed It. Tho fire originated near the
holler room and when discovered had
gained much headway. The firemen were
much handicapped by failure to have suf
ficient water pressure at that point. The
damage Is estimated at $76,00. with in
surance. The factory waa a new one and
about 2U0 persons were regularly employed
there.
Need FoamI Insneetlon.
That Iowa far behind other states in
having Its dairies properly inspected was
the statement made by State Food and
Dairy t'ommlsuloner W. B. Barney of Dea
Moines before a gathering of the short
course students In the regular evening
meeting at Ames last night. Mr. Barney
guve as the reason for this statement that
there were not enough dairy Inspectors
employed. Mr. Harney criticised the state
for letting efficient men resign to take
up a similar position with a commission
firm at a larger salary.
Coal Hnte- as Postponed.
The matter of the Injunction against the
Iowa Railroad commission for enforcing
the reduced freight rates on soft coal In
Iowa, which was to have been brought to
the point of argument before Judge Mc
