IIISUBGEIITS OF COPESS PLJld THEIRjCAMPAIGN last Evening Behind Closed ' Doors the Rebel Leaders , Held a Long and Important Council of War. PLOT TO OVERTHROW OLD RULES OF HOUSE
Washington, March 12. Through
James H. McKenney, the veteran Clerk of the Supreme Court of the
United States, has just brought to light the fact that President Taft's lips fell upon a very significant passage in the Bible when, after taking the oath of office, he kissed the sacred volume.
Mr. McKenney held for the Chief
Justice the book used in connection
with the administering of the oath of
office. He presented it to Mr. Taf t and after the latter had sworn to bear
iruin, laiw ana auegiance, ne rever-
tipposed to the Sentiment of Giving Power to Speaker to Name Committee to Revise . Regulations.
Washington, D. C, March 12. For
ssore than three hours last night the rtpubUcan "lmurgente" dlseuseed behind closed door the details of the fight they propose to make next Mont-
day, when the Sixty-first congress convene, agsmwt the adoption) of the rules
Of the last house to govern it. Ttie leaders of the movement ex
protit entire satisfaction with the aise of the meattog, claiming that ' at toast ten more memDers would vote 'with them against the rules, t is known that much of the time of meet
ing was devoted to (Discussion of a com promise with .the organization forces. Suggest Compromise.
The suggestion was made that the Insurgents enter into , a compromise with the regulars, whereby, a committee would be appointed at the beginning of the special session to revise the rules of the house. Fending the report of the committee, the rules of
the last house would be enforced.
The sentiment of themeeting was that the speaker should not have the power of appointing the committee if
a compromise was agreed upon.
Those present were Representatives Gardner and Loverlng of ... Massachu
setts; Murdock and Madbam of Kan
aas; Hubbard of Iowa; Morse, Cooper, Kelson, Kdpp, Cary , Lenroot and
Each of Wisconsin; Miller and Davis of Minnesota; Kinkaid and Hlnahaw
of Nebraska; Gronna of North Dakota,
and Poindexter, of Washington).
The statement was made at the meeting that telegrams had been re
ceived from Representative Lindberg,
of Minnesota; Norris, of Nebraska,
and Hayes, of California, that they
would vote with the "lnsurgenta." Agree en Program. After the conference the "insur gents" declined to discuss the cowelu-
alone reached at line meeting. It is known that the proposition to com
promise did not meet with general Ap
proval. A program for the parliamen
tary procedure for Monday was agreed
upon, but it was not made public
Chairman Gardner said after the con (erence:
"The meeting voted unanimously to s-tve the tariff the right of way and decided upon a program embodying a definite plan for a thorough revision of the rules. ' This program --ll not
be made public until congress is or
ganised.
At the republican caucus Saturday
night, Representative Dwight, of the Thirteenth New York district, probably
wilt be elected republican "whip" of
the Sxty-ffiret congress. Rnpreeentative Burke of Pennsylva Uav who has been assistanit "whip'
probably wilt consent to serve for an
other term fm the same capacity. Dur
ing the passage of a tariff bill the du
Ilea of the "whip" are especially onerous. Mr. Dwight has served in the
bouse eight years.

not say it, press dispatches from Ma

Fake subscription agents who oper
ated in this city early in the week,
were apprehended at Muncie, arrested
and sentenced to the state prison. At
Muncie they claimed to be agents for
the Morning Star. When in this city they passed themselves off as repre
sentatives of The Item. The men are
John Stroll and Phillip Connor, and their terms are for one to seven" years. They were sentenced by Judge Leffler
only a short time after they were ar
rested1. The police learned of the
fraudulent representations of the men
in this city and made an attempt to
arrest them, but they managed to escape. They went from this city to Muncie. -- ?

Stroll and Connor the former a
nurse and the latter a garment maker, told Judge Leffler they came to Muncie from eastern states just this week.
Their story was that they were out of money and employment and that they resorted to crime in order to get money. The men purchased a receipt book and started out to canvass Muncie homes, at which they represented themselves as solicitors for The Star. The imposters made the proposition that The Star would be delivered to homes for a period of six months for
the sum of 65 cents, and that as a pre
mium, the subscriber would be entitled
to an enlarged photograph. There were several victims.
The men had been at work only a
short time yesterday morning when one of the victims notified The Star of the work of the imposters. James
Harvey, advertising manager and Ralph J. Young, cashier, headed a gum-shoe detective corps out of the of
fice. Late in the afternoon the men
were sighted and the police were called.''.
Stroll and Connor were taken forth
with ! before Judge Leffler. , They pleaded guilty to charges of obtaining
money- under false pretenses. The court passed sentence and the men will be in prison' shortly.

An Opinion tn Black
When Frederick Bechtol was in town
announcing the appearance of John W. Vogel's Big City Minstrels at Gennett
theatre, March 27, he was in an anec
dotal mood, and related of a local mascot of Manager Vogel's at his
home city, Columbus, Ohio. Ever
since that enterprising minstrel mag
nate first started on his own account he has seen to it that Uncle Josh, professor of whitewash and wood-saw,
is eligibly placed In a "preserved
seat" at the opening performance
Uncle Josh counts himself as a rare judge of minstrelsy, and nothing out of the ordinary moves him to applause or commendation. Knowing
this the performers play at the an-
clent darky and feel that they are safe in general approval if they win his favor. At Columbus, when the
troupe returned from the parade, Uncle Josh was a committee, of one to
welcome them. "You see, Uncle Josh,'
said Manager Vogel, '.'that the com
pany . is much larger than ever.'
"Yaas," returned the old man, defer
entially doffing his hat with the air of a sage whose opinion was of value,
"Yaas, it is perceptibly swollen." "Mrs. Temple's Telegram.
Laughter, that begins with a ripple,
grows Into a rumble and ends with a roar will be the portion of the audi
ence which . is in attendance at the
Gennett theater ; on March 15 when "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" will be en
acted by a splendid company headed
by Miss Rose Evans. From present
indications, this sparkling farce com
edy, scintillating with clean, whole
some fun and lacking anything offen
sive will attract one of the largest and most fashionable audiences of the
season, as it is well remembered as
by far the cleverest comedy seen here last year or' for that matter in many
years .
The fun begins when Jack Temple
arrives home in the morning after
having been accidently kept out all night. His wife has been pacing the
floor all night moistening her jealous
ly with angry tears. Instead of telling
her the truth, the whole truth and
nothing but the truth, as all good busbands should, he takes refuge in a fib a little innocent sort of a lie, harm
less enough in itself, but which alas
sets in motion a series of circumstances that brings . into life a brood of most embarrassing complications, plunging the hapless young husband
into a maelstrom of entangling pre-
varacations in which is also engulfed
his friend, Prank Fuller, a modern An
anias, who had come to his assistance.
Truth, after having been shamefully crushed to death and trampled in the
mire eventually rises again and in, the
end the highly diverting snarl, which
has hopelessly entangled those caught
in its meshes is unraveled. Messrs
Charles H. Small and Thomas Hall,
the managers, have provided the play
with one of the handsomest settings
ever produced. The New Phillips.
Those who miss the bill at the New
Phillips 'for the last three days of this week will have cause to regret it. If
Richmond people were going to see Pauline Fielding & Co., alone, it would
be enough to satisfy, but of course that
is not all.- Miss Fielding is a charming little girl with a good stage voice and an excellent solo voice. ' She uses
them both to advantage. Mr. Cam
eron, her leading man, comes in with a tenor that takes. There are three
members of the company and their
rendition of "Rose of Virginia" . is
among the first rank.
Monsieur and Madame Neilo have . a
new line of uggiing. They are good
and amusing, carrying more parapher
nalia than- a European tourist.
Petite Mademoiselle Raymond is a
child imitator. She received several
encores yesterday and last night. The moving pictures and illustrated song
are fine.
NO MORS NO LESS -: If every man in Richmond could see our clothing side by tide with that which is offered In other stores, we'd get most of the clothing trade of the town. We are getting our full share of it as jt is. A few minutes' glance will do more justice to our voluminous stock than whole pages of newspaper talk.
