CANO

ITES BEG

THE INSURGENTS FOR PEACE PACT

Followers of the Speaker Want a Truce Declared Until After Elections, Harmony Being Needed.

PROGRESSIVES VERY STRONG RIGHT NOW

This Is Shown by the Fact that They Are Now in a Position To Dictate Terms What the Terms Are.

(American News Service') Washington, Jan. 27. Such progress has been made in the anti-Cannon fight in the House that overtures from the followers of Cannon have

heen nuifle to the insurgents looking to the establishment of a truce until fifter the elections of next fall. The insurgents, through Representative C.-irdiner, of Massachusetts, have declared that they will cease their activities on these conditions: Cannon must declare that he will not be a. candidate for re-election to the speakership. What the Terms Are. The House must pass a resolution declaring the speaker ineligible for membership in the committee on rules. Tho House must also amend the rules so as to provide that hereafter nil committees shall be chosen by the House anil the appointing power shall be taken away from the speaker. Inasmuch as these three propositions represent about all the independents have asked for in their effort to overthrow both Cannon and Cannonism, it is obvious the insurgents are villing to consent to no compromise in their fight, but are prepared to insist upon surrender from the other side. It is significant of the growing strength of the insurgents that, while the regulars have not accepted their proposition, they have not rejected it, and negotiations are still in progress. Cause of the Action. The apprehension with which the Cannonites are looking forward to the next campaign explains their attempt to pacify the anti-Cannon forces. Their general proposition to the latter is that all Republicans should get together for the approaching campaign, bury all their differences and elect a majority of Republicans to the next House. Tho independents see in this an attempt to tie their hands, because were they to cease fighting and agree to remain inactive until after the elections, they would probably be no better off then than when they started the present anti-Cannon movement. Great secrecy is being observed respecting the progress of negotiations between the two sides. It is not improbable, however, that great concessions will be made to the independents. The question of Cannons candidacy for re-election is regarded as important, for while hardly ten members of the House could be found willing to declare now that they would vote for him, it is, nevertheless, known that were the situation to continue unchanged until the next House is elected, . Cannon's followers would again attempt to force his re-election. Now Favors Harmony. The congressional campaign committee, which less than a month ago had declared its unceasing hostility to every independent Republican in Congress, is now tho chief advocate of harmony. The committee has been learning some things about aroused public sentiment, and finds that the outlook for the return of many of the present members of the House is anything but encouraging. It Is also known that were a truce to be established, the Cannonites would endeavor to defeat all the progress-! Ives, while the latter are outspoken In their determination of making a fight I upon the leading supporters of the

Cannon system in the states of the middle West. It is known that efforts will be made to prevent the renomination of Smith and Hull in Iowa, of Scott, Miller, Calderhead and other organization men in Kansas, and that in other western states the progressive members of both Houses will devote themselves to gaining strength in the next Congress.

BEGGAR DRAWS FINE

William H. Hammond was arrested yesterday afternoon for begging and in the city court this morning was fined $3 and costs. He showed a paper from the Grafton Sanitarium, at Grafton, W. Va., signed by several physicians, asserting that any aid bestowed upon Hammond would be well given as he was a tuberculosis victim. "Graftin" is the word," said Sergeant McNally laughing.

JOY MILLER INSANE

(American News Service) Detroit, Mich.. Jan. 27. Joy Miller.

captain of the University of Michigan

football team, who disappeared some time ago, following disclosures mak

ing him ineligible on the eleven, h-as

been found in Manitoba, violently in

sane.

Two popular theories, one that bears hibernate in the winter and do not eat during that period; the other that alligators eat whenever food is presented to them, have been exploded by "Gloomy Gus." the alligator, and "Teddy" the bear, at the Glen Miller zoo. "Teddy" could be enticed in the coldest day of the year to leave his cozy bed for a peanut, but as there are not. many who visit the zoo this lime of the year, he only is disturbed three times a day. This is breakfast, luncheon and dinner. The Gloomy Gus Case. With "Gloomy Gus" matters are different and he has been a member of the meat boycott for the past month. Not only is he a charier member of

I that organization but he evidently, be

lieves every thing is too high, for not a morsel of the most tempting foods has he accepted. At first, the attitude on the part of the four foot member of the lizard family, alarmed his care takers and a complete investigation was made of zoological books to ascertain the cause. It was found that alligators do not eat during the winter months. "Gloomy Gus" is confined in the old greenhouse, in a small enclosure, below the flower bed. Although he has a nice pool of water for bathing purposes, he is almost as strict an antiwater user in winter as he is dieter. All he appears to wish to do is to lay under a big steam pipe and sleep, for whenever disturbed, the disturber is always warned by a hiss, which is a

very unpleasant noise.

Took His Last Meal. It was about the middle of December that "Gloomy" took his last piece of meat. His caretakers endeavored in every possible way to get the reptile to eat. Thirty cent cuts of meat were first placed within tempting reach of his nose. No use. They then tormented the animal until he opened bis mouth and then dexterously shoved a stick, on the end of which was placed a piece of meat, into his mouth. The stick was then pulled out but "Gloomy" was not to be fooled into becoming a strike breaker. He spat out the meat. Tehipting morsels were, however, daily placed within his reach, but at night they were always removed and given to some of the other animals. A different arrangement was attempted soon after these repeated failures, for his caretakers thought that possibly he wanted to kill his own game. Pig Scared to Death. A small pig, about ten days old, was secured from one of the neighboring farmers. The pig was placed in the alligator's cage and it realized on the instant that it was in great danger. It ran from one side of the cage to the other and "Gloomy Gus" was awakened. He did manifest a little interest in the small annimal and switched his tail once or twice. The

pig became much more frightened and ran across one end of the cage once or twice and dropped dead, but it never served to break "Gloomy's" long fast, so the story runs.

LIBERALS ARE HEARTENED BY RETURN OF PREMIER ASQUITH BUT IS BOTHERED WITH A SERIOUS TANGLE.

(American News Service) London. Jan. 'J7. The election totals at 2 o'clock this afternoon showed the following results: Unionists, 257: Liberals, 21o; Labor ites, uU; Nationalists, i . The earliest returns gave two Unionist gains, for Devises, Wiltshire and Chertsey, Surrey. Though heartened by the showing of the last two days and the return of Premier Asquith with an increased majority, the Liberal party is in a new tangle which may prove fatal to the coalition necessary to give it dominance in the new party. Tho re turn of many indepen Inn Irish members who are opposed to Mr. Redmond, the regular Irish leader, .-an not fail to make him less inclined t weaken his position at home by an acreeii '-nt with the liberals. It is en him that the government is forced to rely on retaining the majoi it. v. Storm Injures Voting. The storm that is raging over Groat Britain has seriously affected the vot ing, but will have no material effort on the result, because of the nearness of the end of the balloting. Of the twenty constituencies polling today, five lie in divisions where the' snow-

! fall has been heavy.

When the polls opened, the government bkuk had a promised majority of !o in the next parliament, and seventy divisions had not been heard from or were unpolled. Thirty-two of these are Scottish, Welsh or Irish, where the Unionists had small chance of making much headway. One cause of rejoicing in the Liberal ranks is the fact that all the cabinet members have gone through the ordeal successfully, in several cases being returned with increased majorities. Some of the minor government officials, however, have been defeated. The indications today were that the government would have a majority of :u with the Laboritcs. and most of the SJ Irish members probably will fall in line. Should the Irish bolt, however, the government would keep its promise of not assuming ministerial duties without a majority of 4.

And There Is Much Speculation of the Mission of Wade Ellis.

(American News Service) Chicago, Jan. 27. Wade Ellis, assistant Attorney General of the United States .arrived here today to "oversee"' Judge Landis's beef trust investigation. The hearing was suspended today while Judge Landis and his associates held a consultation with Ellis at the Congress hotel, presumably to receive instructions. A flurry of doubt exists as to the mission of Ellis; whether he has come to put a "soft pedal" on the inquiry to prevent injury to business interests, or to insist on vigorous prosecutions, even to landing of some of the big business men in the penitentiary.
