CANNON MAKES NOTABLE SPEECH
gpeefal Order Limits Debate anil Pro

Rale tan Be Offered by
Minority.
WASHINGTON. April 6-Both houses of
congress listened today to 1'rrslrient Taft's
brief message. urglnK the adoption of tho
reciprocity agreement with Cansda.
Then, with the senate adjourned tho
democratic house proceeded further with
Ha organization by adopting new rules.
These are largely a repetition of those
that have been handed down by many
congresses The di-mui'iats any their great
est "reform" Is taking from tho speaker
hla power to appoint committee and to
designate the chairman of each commit
too. The new rule provide for the election of
committees and the4r chairmen.
The second reform la a return to the
former democratic prnrtlce of permitting
legislation on appropriation bill when tho
legislation tenda to reduce the expenditure
of the government.
The rules continue "calendar Wednesday"
and the unanimous consent calendar and
seek to perfect the rule for the dlachargo
of committees. This latter, the democrats
aay. effectively does away with the former
practice of stifling lobulation In commit
ters. .Imitation of Debate Protested.
A special order limiting debate on the
rules to four hours Immediately brought
out a cry of "gait" from the republics
The speeches were more or leas of a no
tlcal nature and there wss no serious fight
on the rules themselves.
The republicans asserted they were de
barred from making such a fight be-causo
of the further provision of the special
ordT that only one substitute set of rules
could be offered by the minority. Not even
a roll call was demanded by the re
publicans on the adoption of the rules.
The political battle which waged for four
hours was but a foretaste of others to
come and which are expected to make the
present congress not Able. Representative
Mann was ably seconded by former
Speaker Cannon and Hepresentatlves Dal
eM and Olmstead. Mr. Mann charged the
democrats with Insincerity In much they
mid In pralsn of the rules and said they
had no purpose to take away from them

Kohlsant today told the senate blrbery In
vestigating committee that Clarence S.
Funk, general manager of the International
Harvester company, was the man who In
formed Mr. Kohlsant that a slush fund of
$100,000 was put up to elect Lorimer.
To the first question of Attorney J. J.
Healey. Mr. Kohlsaat Identified a telegram
sent by him to Chairman Helm, saying his
con'ldant called at the Record-Herald of
fice and was willing to appear before the
committee.
"When I arrived at my office Mr.
Clarence Funk called and told me he would
be less than a man if he held me to my
confidence," testified Mr. Kohlsant.
"Mr. Funk told me that he talked with
Cyrus H. McCormlck. . president' of the
company and told him he thought he ought
to release me, whereupon Mr. McCormlck
said:
" 'Good, that is exactly what I want. I da
not care for the consequences to the Inter
national Harvester company."
"I met Mr. Funk on Jackson boulevard
about thirty days after the confession of
White while on my way to the Chicago
club. He did not seek me out at all.
"Mr. Funk told me the man who came
to him told him they had an opportunity
to elect Lorimer with a fund of $100,009.
They sent It down and Mr. Funk told me
they were looking for reimbursement."
Mr. Knnk Takes Stand.
Mr. Funk was the next witness called.
He said he had been with the company
nine years. His- attention was called to a
conversation with Edward C. Hlnes shortly
after the election. The witness said:
"The conversation took place In the
Union League club. It was an accidental
meeting. He said he had been wanting to
see me and we sat In the lounging room.
"Hlnes said to me. without preliminary:
Well, we put Lorimer over, but it cost us
$100,000 to do It."
"He said, 'We had to act quickly, so
that It became necessary for us to put up
the money. Now, wo are seeing some of

Mr. Henry also said the fault the Amer

so much with the houxe rules as the bad
administration of these rules,
absurdity, not to say idiocy."

Mr. Cannon's sikh-oIi was easily the fea
ture. He was greeted with applause from
both parties when he arose to make his
maiden address of the session.
"I want to say here and now," he de

Officials Must Provide
Fire Escapes, Trouton
"All public buildings as well as
private structures more than two
stories In height.: not provided with
fire escapes, wtll have to conform to
the state statutes." Such was the '
declaration of John C. Trouton,
deputy stato fire warden, Wednes
day morning.
Trouton has been waking a quiet .,
-Investigation tofv tv,: discovered
numerous buildings which are not
equipped with fire escapes. Among
the list Is the new high school build
ing, which Is being erected; the
Vinton school building, a' part ot
which la three stories high; the city
hall, a Xive-story structure; the
county Jail, and the public library
building.
"Neither of these buildings have
fire escapes," said Mr. Trouton, .
who held a conferenoe with City.
Fire Warden Morris Wednesday
morning. The state statutes speci
fically provide that all three-story
buildings must be equipped with
fire escapes, so it Is up to the city
and board of education to get busy
at once.
"We will call the attention of the
proper officials to the absence or

fire escapes and request that they be erected at once. In case they refuse to
comply, complaints will be filed and the officials will be forced to provide the
necessary escapes.
"I do not anticipate any trouble In getting the bulldlnga properly equipped.
I thlt.k the request will be all that will be necessary."
Fire Chief Salter says that many buildings In the city are equipped with
fire escapes so badly arranged that the effectiveness is practically destroyed.
Kspeclally Is this true of public school buildings. The fire escapes are access
llbo only through windows. Suiter says they should be rearranged and doors
installed leading to the escapes.

EL PA RO, April B An explanation bear
ing all the marks of authenticity, clearing
up the Amerlcan-Mexlcan-Japanese situa
tion waa given here today by one of the
most prominent Mexican-Americans In the
country.
According to this Informant, who Is in a
position to know, but who insisted upon
the suppression of his name, President
Diaz was seeking a way to refuse a coal
ing station on Magdalena Island to the
Japanese even before the renewal of the
Amirlcsn government's contract came tip
for discussion.
. "Iiluz," said the ' Mexican-American,
"found hlmFelf between the jfper and
nether millstones. He was Impressed with
the Influx of Japanese Into Mexico and In
particular with the knowledge that they
had mapped Ills entire western coast. Slow
Insistent pressure was brought on him to
give Japun a coaling station on Magda
lena bay. On the other side was th
I'nlted States and the Monroe doctrine.
He temporized until knowledge of lib
situation reached the White House. From
the latter to his conHlderahle relief came
an' unmUtnl-.able Intimation that Japan
was not to have tha rtatlon, although the
suine privileges for the I'nlted Starts was
not insisted upon. Diaz then Informed
Japan that he did not care to. base any
part of hla country to a foreign power.
"Ni't knowing what mlgnt be the result
of the Mfxlcan attitude In Japan, Presi
dent Taft ordered the mobilization of a
division of American troops at San An
tonio, Galveston and El IVo. In Mexico
every citizen of standing and information
ria.li.f that In the event of Japanese ag
gression, wh'ch. however baseless the fear
may be. Is still feared. Mexico must rely
uKn assistance of the I'nlted States. An
against any over-sea powir Mexico woulc
stand with its neighbor to the north.

LINCOLN. April 5. (Special. 1 The reso
lution by Senator Tlhbets asking that no
more university money be put Into the ex
tension work managed by J. L. Mcltrlet
was approved by the senate this afternoon.
Senator Albert declared himself to be a
friend of the university, but said the state
wss not getting Its monev's worth from
this particular department. The accusation
that a man was an enemy to the slate's
educational system simply because he
criticized a part of It. he resented.
Senators Fkllos, and Brown were. opinsed
because the blow at McRrli n was a blow
at a .department which could a well ad
ministered even though It max nt he so
managed now.
Tlhbets admitted that he was aiming at
McRrlen and not at the department and
that he had Introduced a similar resolution
two years ago.
Charirea Agralnst McBrlen.
Ex-Superintendent McRrlen was accused
of pernicious political sctlvlty in his former
state office and In his present capacity.
Senator Rartos, beginning by referring tn
Frank Harrison, editor of the Capital, who
has supported McBrlen, as the "pup who
edits the Capital whom It Is not n-cei-sary
to name or to oppose," declared that
he had been told by teachers that McBrlen
wasvdoing good work, and In spite of the
Capital's support he waa still for MoHvlon.
Tibbets, In closing, called attention to a
circular letter written by McBrlen and sent
out to voters In advertising himself and
his department. He referred also to an
alleged action ot McRrlen'a while state
superintendent declaring that he collected
money from teachers for certificates and
did not account for It to the state.
The resolution carried by the following
roll call:

Bays Byrnes at Fault.
In reply to a statement published by J.
C. Byrnes declaring that the governor was
alone and "dead wrong" In his opposition
to the Bartling bill, the governor said
today:
"J. C. Byrnes, the generalising of the
democratic party, is entirely responsibla
for the failure of the bass ball bill. He de
clared openly that ha would put up a
proposition that would beat, no matter
what I did with it. The Intelligent base
ball enthusiasts know that 1 meant what
1 said when I promised to sign the Leld
Ugh bill If they would tlx that up and pass
It, and also pronged also that 1 would
sign the Bartling bill If smcr.ded. I tried
to get the amendment niuuj und most of
the representatives were willing to vote
for It but Byrnes threw his influence
agalnBt it. If any one person Is to blame
fdr the fact that we cannot have Sunday
base ball. It ' Is Byrnes himself. I waa
willing to do my part of It."

The approach of the end of the session
Is being marked by the tlrst of the con
gratulatory resolutions. Colonel O. H. Belt
tcr, the stentorian toned assistant Ber-geant-at-arms
of the house, was presented
today with the flag which has hung be
hind the speaker's chair. Colonel Beltser
waa congratulated upon his service as ser
geant or assistant during five terms.
Resolutions of condolence were adopted
for P. O. H. Boland of Douglas, whose
mother died recently In Boston, and for

Gait of Clay, who has on several occa
sions slipped the leash on his ferocious
friendship for i.ewspapers, sent up a resc
lutlon asking that It be declared the sen.'..:
of the house that newspapers keep out of
politics. Carter it. Harrison, he said, has
been elected mayor of Chicago in spite ot
the opposition of nearly every newspaper
there, and as this wss a blow to temper

activity. The resolution was voted down
