Working to Find Solatlon of Diffi

Constitution.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-(Special Tele
gram ) With the prospect for a session of
congress of indefinite lenpth In sight and
hot weather already here members of both
branches are trying to find wevi and
means to break with the greatest possible
case the deadlock between the house and
senate, which they fear will characterize
tho end of any session In whlrh one house
is controlled by Ihn republicans and the
other by the democrats. With this situa
tion In view the democratic leader In the
house hnve already framed tentntlve terms
upon which they will nccejit a recess or i
adjournment of this ejslon before all the j
work clone In tho house. Is paused upon by
the senate.
llousn barters say they will not permit
this congrets to take a recess or adjourn
until the stnnte offlriullv notifies It that
It will nut consider such legislation ns may
be left ovr nt tiist time, all of which must
be specifically named.
It In virtually assumed that this session
of congress will not be wholly devoid of
results. The senate will phss within a
reasonablo time the resolution carrying; a
constitutional amendment providing for the'
direct election of senators. There will cer
tainly be a vote In the senate on the
reciprocity bill, with the chances In favor
of Its passage.
Toll on Reciprocity.
Recent polls of the aenata place the
number of senators favorable to reciprocity
pt forty-seven to forty-two against. The
republicans for the bill are said to be
Brown, Burton, Crane, Cullom, Kenyon,
Lodge, Lorlmer, Penrose, Polndexter, Root
and Works.
The democrat said to be against it are
Pailey, Simmons and Foster, with Cham
berlain uncertain.
A bitter fight Is being made on the bill
from many source and some votes may
yet be changed.
Whether tha senate will take up the
democratic amendments to the campaign
fund publicity bill, which provides for the
publication of receipts and expenditures
before as well as after election, remain
t to ba 4)rnrted. ;'-r -i '-j-
The old senate passed on this subject a
year and a half ago and struck out the
provision calling for the publication before
election, but there 1 some demand for the
new amendment at this time, and tha bill
may be acted upon before tha next election
at least.
Prniand for Action on Statehood.
There Is even a stronger demand for ac
tion oa the statehood bill for Arizona and
New Mexico and both republican and
democrat are working hard to find a solu
tlon ef the difficulties raised by objections
to the Arlxona constitution, which calls for
the recall of judges. The house will act
on this measure beyond question and the
progressive democrats and republicans In
the senate will Una up behind the bill when
It reaches the senate. Whether any other
legislation will be acted upon at this ses
sion by the senate Is questionable, except
as to the apportionment bill passed by the
house recently.
The senate has rarely, hitherto, ques
tioned the action of ths house on legisla
tion of this character.
In the Inst congress the apportionment
bill was decided on the last day of the
session, owing to an objection by Senator
Root of New York. The house having
reiterated it Judgment by passing the
same bill over again, it U said, the senate
will now act favorably.
Another Item which Is of country-wide
Importance and which relates to the senate
alone Is the Lorimer case. It is still uncer
tain at this time whether the senate will
order a reinvestigation of the election of
the Illinois eecator. Those senators who
genuinely regard the honor of the senate
are determined that this time there shall
be no half-hearted investigation of the
election of the Illinois senator and that
there shall come out of any other Inquiry
some well defined rules relating to future
elections of senators by corrupt practices.

are given by the men under arrest charged
with blowing open the postofflce safe at
Smlthwlclc last week, when S1.500 in stamps
and money was taken, were given a pre

waived examination. They have been
taken to Deadwood by J. P. Beldlng, chief
deputy under United States Marshal Beth
Bullock, and in default of ball will be held
in jail until their trial In federal court,
which convenes in Deadwood May, 23.
Postal Inspector Wood feels certain these
are the right men and much circumstantial
evidence bears this out, though none of
the booty has been found. Their capture
was made by following their tracks, which
led to a wild spot several miles west of
Bmilhwlck, where they were found after
lying out all night.
The keys to the postofflce were found
along this trail, and when brought to Hot
Springs following their arrest they told

HUMMER BELL AGAIN LOST
teaUias of Bell at Iowa City hy
Freaeh.es Slaty-Vive Tears
Ago la Recalled.
IOWA CITY. U., May !.-( Special. The
celebration of the seventieth anniversary
of ths founding of the First Presbyterian
church, exercises In connection with which
took place today, recalls the history of the
famous Hummer bell. The bell, which
htmg in the steeple of the first Iowa City
Presbyterian church in lsll, was rescued
from the hands of a certain clergyman.
Hummer, when he attempted to steal
It for back salary recompense In 1M4
It was hidden in the loaa river, but later
a Mormon convert betrayed its hiding
place and the bell is supposed to have
been taken to Salt Lake City by the Mor
morm and to have been kept there by
them for many years, but of late ail
traces of the bell have been lost
In Rev. Mr. Osmond, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of Iowa City, wrote
Brtgham Young in regard to locating the
bell. In response he received a letter stat
ing that the bell had been brought there
and could be secured by ths Iowa City
Presbyterians, Again, In 196, the bell was
seen by C. W. Irish and his daughter. Miss
Elizabeth Irish, as they passed through
Salt Lake Clt, when the bell was in a
good state of preservation.
However, In response to a letter written
by Attorney Waiter Davis to President
anlth of the Mormons a short time ago
a letter has been received from his secre
tary statin that all traces of the bell had
been lost Thus ths Hummer bail mystery
has thickened.

TAFT HITS JUDGES' RECALL
Points Out Superiority of Judicial
Systems of Great Britain.
CHANGE WOULD NOT BE REFORM
Hopes Latest "XoilVtim" Will Meet
Same End as Other Inventions
of Deatagoarnes at Hands
of People.
NEW YORK, May 14.-Presldent Taft
came out publlaly last night against the re
call of the judiciary. In his speech before
the conferenoe on reform of the criminal
law and procedure, the president made his
attitude plain. Most of his speech was
devoted to a comparison highly unfavor
ble to this country of the judicial systems
of. Ctaest BrMaiH and the United .States;
He lamented the tendency manifested even
In England, but more particularly in this
country, to put limitations on the power
of the judge.
"And now, not satisfied with reducing
the position of a judge to something like
a moderator In a religious assembly, or
presiding officer of political convention
the office Is still to be made less import
ant and assume more and more the char
acter of a defendant by a provision of law,
under which, if his rulings and conduct
In court do not suit a small percentage of
the electors of his district, he may be
compelled to submit the question of his
continuance on the bench during the term,
to which he was elected, to an election for
recall. In which the reason for his recall
is to be Included In 200 words, and his
defense thereto to be equally brief.
Wll Iot Be Reform.
"It can hardly be said that this proposed
change, if adopted, will glvs him greater
authority or power for usefulness or con
stitute a reform In the enforcement of the
criminal law of this country. It will cer
tainly not diminish the power nor Irre
sponsibility of counsel for the defendant.
Let us hope that the strong sense of humor
of the American people, which has so often
saved them from the dangers of dema
goguery will not be lacking in respect of
this 'nostrum.'
"The statistics which show the crimes
that go unpunished in this country, com
pared with those in England, are start
ling and humiliating to any American who
has pride In his fellow countrymen as a
law-abiding and law-enforcing people.
"Wherein Is the great difference between
the effectiveness of the systems? 1 believe
it to exist In the character, experience and
learning of the Judges, in the power which
they maintain and exercise in the court
of trial for the saving of time and the
simplification of the issues and In the re
spect and obedience given to intimations
from the bench as to the proper behavior
of counsel In the conduct of the case. If
there is any other reason of the difference
it cannot bo found In procedure."
Judge' favors Red need.
"I wish to comment on the effect that
the change in the power of the judge in
this country in the matter of the manage
ment of the trial has had upon his ability
to shorten ths methods of counsel for the
defense and their conduct In the court
room.
"What I believe to be an unfounded fear
of Judicial tyranny and an unresasonable
distrust of Judges have led to satutory
limitations upon their power In the con
duct of criminal trials which have made
the trial In this country and especially
In the western states, an entirely differ
ent Institution from what it was under
stood to be at the time of the adoption of
our constitution. In many slates Judges
are not permitted to comment upon the
facts at ail. They are not even allowed
to charge the Jury after the arguments of
counsel, but they are required to submit
written charges upon abstruse questions of
law with no opportunity to apply the prin
ciples concretely to the facts of the case.
t hange In Code of Ktblea.
"The restraint that a judge In the course
of a trial imposes upon the manner and
conduct of counsel tn an English court is
thus wholly wanting, with the result that
there seerus to have been a substantial
change In the code of professional ethics
governing counsel and In the extremes to
which counsel In the defense of their
clients seem to think It Is entirely proper
for them to go. Their conduct makes
neither for the dignity of the court, for
the eievatlon of ths ethics of the bar, fur
ths expenditure of criminal procedure, nor
for the reasonable punishment of crime."

Homely Incubator
Baby Finds a Home
Child of Family Socially Prominent
in Aurora, 111., is Left at the
City Hospital.
CHICAGO, May 14. (Special Telegram.)
The little baby girl who was so homely
that her father and mother sent her to the
Aurora city hospital to be given to any
one willing to take care of her has found
a home. A wealthy Aurora woman today
agreed to take her as soon as she Is strong
enough to leave the institution, where
was left when she was only two days old.
The only condition that her foster mother
makes is that In her later life the child's
identity be kept from her.
"I don't want her to be pointed out after
ward as the little girl whose father refused
to keep her because she was not pretty,"
she said.
The hospital people refuse to divulge the
name of the parents who gave up their
child or the name of the doctor who
brought the case- to them, but from the
standing of the Aurora city hospital. It is
known that the child comes from a family
socially prominent.
The baby Is the smallest one ever left in
the hospital. She was really an Incubator
baby, weighing only two pounds two days
after her birth. She is bright for her age
and healthy and strong, normal in every
way except for her weight. She blinks
bright blue eyes uncertainly.

This view Is held by many who are
familiar with the situation across the Rio

Madero is not In absolute command. In
ternal distention among his men Is plain
to be seen. Others are jealous of him and
covet his shoes. Some ask: "If the rebels
are not able to govern themselves, how
do they expect to govern Mexico If it fall
Into their hands?" To this there is no
answer.
That these opinions are not Idle was
shown early today when Gneral Pascual
Orozco, with hundreds of men st his heels,
came up to the Jefelura and with an auto
matic revolver in his hand demanded of
Madero In public that the cabinet an
nounced yesterday resign and that his men
be fed. He said that while his men were
starving tor bare necessities, men who had
had nothing to do with ths taking of
Cludad Juares were situated in luxury and
were being ehown every attention. With a
menacing move he declared that Madero
was under . arrest. Then shouts of "W .
want Navarro:" filled the air. Four hun
dred men took up the cry and pusheu to

Madero and Oronoso Make l'p.
The air was surcharged with excite
ment. Guns were wildly bandlshed. It
needed only one shot to have filled the
streets with blood. Just at that moment
Poncho Villa, the bandit rebel, came upon
the scene and melodramatically demanded
that General Navarro be turned over to a
court-martial to be tried for torturing In
surrectos. He shouted the names of ths
battles where Navarro killed innocent
women and children and bayonetted
wounded rebels. Colonel B. J. Vlljoen
stepped Into the breach just In time and
the affair ended oy Madero and Orosco
embracing In true Latin style.
It was only a short time later that
Francisco Madero, fearing that Navarro
would be killed, spirited him Into an auto
mobile with instruction to erosa to the
American side. Navarro secured a horse
from a farmer and rode down the river,
looking for a fold. He tried to force the
animal Into the water. American soldiers,
quickly sent down the river, offered to
throw the general a rope, but he was un
able to brave the swift current e( the
river which now Is high.
