pose of the meeting Is to determine who
Is the strongest available candidate and
to pledge their support to him. Some
think that S. A. Morris will stand the
best chance of being elected; others
that another man should be named.
Mr. Morris, It Is said, has stated that If
he Is found not to be the strongest can
didate he will readily withdraw. All
of these questions will come up for
consideration and decision at the
meeting Saturday.

sowers on thla street will connect with

pose that the deal was made.

Washington, April 8.—Because the
Standard Oil Company lost out In the
tight yesterday, after Speaker Cannon
had appealed to the "regulars" to stand
by the ways and means committee and
vote for the Vreeland amendment, fix
ing the duty on.crude petroleum and It,
products at 26 per cent ad valorem. It
does not mean that the Standard has
played Its last card.
The Norris amendment, fixing the
duty at 1 per cent ad valorem, was car
ried In the committee of the whole
without a record vote. It Is the pur
pose of Chairman Payne to demand, a
roll call on the Norris amendment In
the house tomorrow and the friends of
Standard Oil are saying that when the
record vote Is announced there will
perhaps be another story to tell.
The "Joker,” the countervailing
duty on oil was called, was In the
Payne bill when reported to the house
on March 17, and It was only argued
by Payne to strike It out and substi
tute a duty of 26 per cent ad valorem
when certain Republicans refused to
vote for the rule unless the change was
made. The Norris amendment was
adopted by the help of the Insurgent
Republicans who refused to sustain the
chair's ruling, knocking out the Norris
amendment.
Friends of Standard OH. as well as
the friends of the speaker, are working
on the Insurgents today to get enough
changes of votes to reverse the action
of the committee of the whole on the
oil amendment on the record vote sched
uled for tomorrow.
The members who stood by the Nor
ris amendment yesterday and so de
feated the ways and means committee
are looking for a coup and say they will
be on hand when the roll Is called. They
profess confidence that the Norris
amendment will stand until the Payne
bill gets Into the senate. . ' '■
Had Exciting Time. •
Backed by the Democrats, the Repub
lican "Insurgents" gave the house ma
chine and Speaker Cannon a bad after
noon' of It yesterday, and Incidentally
walked over the ways and means com
mittee In a most pitiless manner.
The rout began when the coalition
forced thru an amendment by Mr. Nor
ris, of Nebraska, placing a duty of 1
per cent ad valorem on crude petro
leum and Its products.
In arriving at this decision. Speaker
Cannon was ridden over rough-shod,
the opposition overruling his decision.
He raged and appealed to the majority
to stand fast, but It didn’t work a little
bit.
Point of order.” yelled John Dalzell.
Is that schedule so sacred you can
not amend It at all?” Inquired Clark, of
Missouri. ^
And Dalzell replied that It waa. But
they tried It. anyway, and Standard Oil
got A hard Jolt. Mr. Fitzgerald got very
much excited In defending himself from
Insinuations that his official actions
were controlled by the Standard OH
Company. He shouted;
"I fling back Into the dirty mouths of
these calumniators tlio vile Insinuations
that have been directed at me thru the
dirty, Improper and discreditable prints
of the country, by men who have not
had the couroge to make these state
ments to me face to face In a way In
which they would be responsible for
thelp words.”

microscope was on District Attorney

vened for the fourth day’s session in

its delight over the prosjfect of acquit
tal this week, the father especially be
ing, cheerful and even gay in his de
meanor. The court room was filled
with women. Mrs. John L. Ebert was
the first witness called. • She cooked
