walked down the platform. The sun was
shining brightly and he seemed to enjoy
his walk in the Invigorating atmosphere.
As he walked he began to whistle. The
•itht of the gray-haired man walking
calmly along whtstllng while a horde of
relatives, friends and ncwupuper men
followed him attracted the attention of
the citizen*. even before thc-y knew the
Identity of the whistler.
"That's John R. Walsh," some one said,
and the crowd began to grow Instantly.
The curiosity of the throng did not
toother the convicted man, for he whistled
his tune, whatever It was, as he sat In
the station. The notes were scarcely
audible, however.
From the Leavenworth station to the
prison the crowd rode In the donkey car
that winds around tho hill in an uncer-
tain way and stopped at the gate of the
Federal prison. At none of the long
flight of steps lending to the prison en-
trances did the prisoner falter, but con-
tinued to walk to the last one as he'
started, strong and determined not to
break down.

(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., January 19--»
Declaring that expense Is the only re-
sult to the life insurance policyholder
from the present great dissimilarity of
State supervisory laws, J. A. Hartigan,
commissioner of Insurance of Minnesota,
urged at the third annual meeting of
the Association of Life Insurance Presi-
dents today that steps should be taken
to obtain uniformity.
"Certain unlfotm Insurance laws exist
in a number of States and certain re-
quirements are the same, as, for instance,
the form of annual report," said Mr.
Hartlg-an, "but the multiplicity of other
requirements Is as great, almost, as is
the number of 8tates. This lack «f
uniformity Is exasperating both to the
departments and the companies.
COSTLY TO POLICY HOLDER.
"The work of the department is In-
creased and the result of this «svork di-
minished on account of the diverse de-
mands of different States. A knowledge
of the laws of the home State must be
supplemented by a thorough familiarity
with the laws of all other States, as com-
panies are governed sometimes by the
laws of the home State and sometimes by
those of the licensing State. A company
complying strictly with the law of one
commonwealth, may find itself, on that
account, a lawbreaker in another. As
different State laws prescribe diferent
standards or admitted assets, the annual
statements show a surprising divergence
as published In different places. If. for
the annoyance caused by this diversity,
there were compensating benefits to the
policy holders. It might be tolerated, but
of these there are none. The only result
to the policy holder Is increased cost of
supervision, Mrhlch increase he must
bear."
After relating various efforts that have
been made to obtain uniformity since the
convention of insurance commissioners
was organized in 1S71 and after stating
that the greatest accomplishment In the
j line of uniformity was the enactment
within the last few years in more than
twenty States of the laws known as the
"Committee of Fifteen Bills," the com-
missioner said:
UNIFORM LAWS NEEDED.
"If the causes for existing lack of uni-
formity have been properly and correctly
set forth, then the following remedies are
apparent: Action on one subject at a
time; agreement between supervising offi-
cials and company representatives on
proposed laws and amendments to exist-
ing laws; a central bureau In touch with
the legislatures; education of policy
holders and appeal for their support;
proper Insight into the needs of the busi-
ness. . , ,
"The policy holder must be Impressed
with the idea that everything that affects
a company adversely affects him in like
manner, in considering laws that may be
uniformally adopted, personal, selfish de-
sires and ambitions must be eliminated.
Only such laws can be «eneraliy enacted
and retained as tend to the improvement
of the business as a whole, and any law
that will have this effect must receive
the support of companies, departments
and policy holders. , ^
"Where laws are the same, interpreta-
tions mav vary. I think I can assure
you that the next convention of insurance
commissioners will take up tne matter of
uniform rulings and interpretation of ex-
isting laws. Never before have the de-
partments worked so harmoniously to-
gether, and the outiook is bright for more
complete and more effective co-opera-
tion."
ATTACKED FROM AMBUSH.
Mrs. M. Wynne Was Wounded
While Driving Near McKinney.
(Houston Post Special.)
M'KINNEY, Texas, January 19.—While
Mrs. M. Wynne, who resffles on the farm
of William Abernathy, several miles east
of town, was driving in a buggy near
East Fork creek. Just east of town this
evening, she was attacked by a man in
waiting, who fired five shots at her and
struck her over the head with his pistol.
Three shots took effept, two on tne right
side of the head, causing severe scalp
wounds, and one in the r:ght hand, ren-
dering necessary the amputation of one
of the fingers.
She was brought here for medical
attention. Officers are searching for the
fugitive with bloodhounds.
DALLAS, Texas, January 19.—M. J.
Stewart, a grocer of Oak Cliff, was
stabbed during an affray with a neg o,
declared to be John Paul, last night.
Stewart was cut in the abdomen and in
the back between the shoulders. Al-
though the wrjunds are deep, physicians
in attendance are of the opinion that they
will not prove fatal. The trouble oc-
curred over the price of a cake which
Paul had offered to buy. Mr. Stewart
Informed the negro that it would cost 40
cents. He was given the lie by Paul and
trouble followed. .

Association Concluding Ses-

(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON, January 19.—Decreeing
that there should be uniformity in State
laws affecting not only commercial mat-
ters, but ^likewise those that pertain to
the well being of the individual, the
Civic Federation at its final session to-
day adopted a number of resolutions.
Among those were that recommending to
the governors the adoption of uniform
laws for the protection of children em-
ployed in industries; favoring a uniform
insurance code for adoption by the sev-
eral States; uniform legislation on the
subject of gathering and the preserva-
tion of vital statistics; indorsing the con-
servation of American forests and re-
ferring the same to the committee on
uniform State laws.
The conference adopted a resolution
recommending to the governors of the
several States now meeting In this city
and to the States themselves that work-
men's compensation acts be uniformly
substituted for the present system of
employers' liability act for Injuries.
ASKED EQUAL CITIZENSHIP.
Mrs. Grace Kirkland of Georgia made
a plea to the conference for an equality
of citizenship. Speaking of the civil
contract and on the question of divorce,
she said:
"We bring old canonical laws, the ec-
clesiastic restrictions and hedge them
about with every sort of hindrance that
is detrimental to public policy and hu-
man happiness."
It was her policy that If the men pres-
ent wanted to enact legislation as set
forth in the resolutions they had better
give the women a chance to vote with
them on these questions.
HOFFMAN PREDICTED DECAY.
Frederick L. Hoffman of New Jersey,
speaking on the subject of uniform vital
statistics, startled the conference. After
a running comment on the birth and
death rate of the country, he declared
that the historical nation was dying out
and that when the blood which made the
revolution possible becomes mixed with
foreign blood, there Is but one result-
decay.
Stephen H. Allen of Kansas aroused
the enthusiasm of the delegates by a.
strong plea for uniformity in legal pro-
cedure.
Hon. Martin S. Decker, president of the
National Association of Railroad Com-
missioners. was the only speaker to re-
spond when the subject of the regulation
of railways and public utilities came up.
W. C. Breed of the National Wholesale
Grocers' association spoke upon the
needs of a uniform law relating to food
and drugs.
The establishment of a legislative ref-
erence bureau as one of the important
agencies to bring about greater uniform-
ity of legislation was argued by Charles
E. McCarthy of Wisconsin.
HOUSTON TAIWALES
AND EXCELLENT BREW SERVED
AT WASHINGTON SPREAD.
George Bailey the Donor, "Heav-
enly Houston" and the Red Head-
ed Widows Toasted.
(Houston Post Special.)
WASHINGTON, January 19.—Milwau-
kee, made famous by a single product,
was temporarily eclipsed tonight at a
function which added to the fame of Col-
onel George Bailey of The Post and
"Heavenly Houston." The occasion was
In honor of a generous contribution ot
Houston tamales and Southern Select by
Colonel Bailey, who, having once resided
in Washington as a special correspond-
ent, learned to •appreciate the miserable
circumstance of those denied residence in
Texas and, perforce, unlimited access to
the good things that endear one to that
splendid State of rare and diversified
products. At the National Press club of
Washington, with the members of the
Texas delegation In congress as special
guests, boxes of tamales and bottles ot
Houston's famous brew were opened and
served to the satisfaction of those pres-
ent.
The Texans In attendance were: Repre-
sentatives Slayden, Beall, Stephens, Gil-
lespie, Hardy and Sheppard. Mr. Beall
was called on for the first speech in
grateful acknowledgment of the treat
and he acquitted himself with added dis-
tinction as an orator.
Mr. Slayden followed in a speech
streaked with merry quips and fine hu-
mor. He said the Houston tamale was
an Imitation of the real tamale to be
found in San Antonio; that the Houston
product was fictitious as George Bailey s
red-headed widows, who were nothing
but old maids with red wigs. Mr. Hardy-
spoke next, then Gillespie, Stephens and
Sheppard.
It was the unanimous wish of the
"boys" that Colonel Bailey may live a
hundred years and when he dies the an-
gels get him.
COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST
Given by Congressman Slayden to
Governor Harmon of Ohio.
* (Houston Post Special.)
WASHINGTON, January 19.—Congress-
man Slayden of Texas gave a breakfast
this morning complimentary to Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio. Besides the dis-
tinguished chief executive, there were
present: Representatives Hay (Va.),
Johnson (Ky.), Page (N. C.), Pujo (L.a.),
Ansbury and Cox (O.); Harrison (N. Y.),
and Hitchcock (Neb.)N It is understood
that Governor Harmon's friends are urg-
ing him to accept some of the numerous
invitations which have been extended
him by Southern communities to deliver
a number of speeches in that section.
(Houston Post Special.)
NEW ORLEANS, January 19.—Clark
Howell, democratic National committee-
man from Georgia and editor of the At-
lanta Constitution, says that Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio will be the dem-
ocratic presidential nominee if. he Is re-
elected governor of Ohio.
The republican split doesn't amount to
anything, in the opinion of Mr. Howell.
Surgical Operations

H. E. Boardman, YonkerS, N. Y„
writes:
"I suffered from severe pains in my
eyes, caused by ulcers, and doctored a
great deal and underwent three opera-
tions, but failed to get permanent relief
till I tried Hood's Sarsaparilla. I can
not too highly praise this remedy. I
recommend It heartily to all who are
troubled with impure blood."
Hood's Sarsaparilla expels all humors
from the blood, cures all eruptions and

ferent from all other medicines.

Taft Vehement in Urging Objec-
tions to Democrats.
0LLIE JAMES AND RAINEY
Are Particularly Distasteful to the
Executive—The Democrats Will
Stick to Them and Insur-
gents Must Choose.
(Houston Post Special.)
WASHINGTON, January 19.—Astonish-
ingly high words passed between Presi-
dent Taft, Victor Murdock and Augustus
P. Gardner, the latter the real leaders of
the insurgent republicans. President Taft
became so emphatic that his voice was
heard out in the corridors of the White
House office. The frequent explosions of
word3 was more like a Roosevelt admin-
istration manifestation than anything the
Taft administration has thus far shown.
The personnel of the committee to in-
vestigate Secretary Ballinger, the gen-
eral land office and the forest service, it
was admitted by the Insurgent congress-
men, was under discussion. They said as
much in a formal statement issued after
they had had their stormy interview with
the chief executive. It took them a long
time to prepare their formal statement,
because they had no desire to tell any
more of the truth than they possibly
could.
The fact is. President Taft was laying
down to them objections he entertains to
Shaving Representatives James of Ken-
tucky and Rainey of Illinois serve as
members of the committee. He objects
because he has been informed that
James was selected chiefly because Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan desired him to serve
and seize every opportunity to make
political capital.
Unless the insurgents can get together
and agree to stand by James and Rainey,
the Insurgents in the house will find
themselves without democratic support
the next time they attempt to make an
assault on the Cannon breastworks.
JAMES IS BRYAN'S CHOICE.
This Is the defi which went forth from
the minority side of the house. It was
admitted the appointment of Mr. James
was prompted by William J. Bryan. Mr.
James is an intimate friend of Mr.
Bryan's, and is perfectly capable of
bringing out all the political material
that can be found. Mr. James was placed
In nomination at the democratic caucus
by Champ Clark, minority leader, and
while there was no specific announce-
ment to that effect, the understanding
was genera! that Mr. Bryan desired Mr.
James appointed. This was done despite
that the republican leaders had warned
the democrats Mr. James would not be
acceptable to them.
The democrats—both thftse who voted
for James and those who voted against
him—now want to know what the repub-
licans are going to do about it. If the
majority attempts to substitute names of
two other democrats, attention will be
called to the fact that the president's
compromise is being violated just as
much as though the republican regulars
had broken faith with the Insurgents.
It Is known that there was a general
understanding among the insurgents that
they would stand by the democrats in
support of their caucus selections, even
to the extent of breaking with the house
organization. Hence every effort .is being
made to call off Representative Hayes
and several other Insurgents who have
announced their Intention to stand by the
house organization in opposing Mr.
James.
RAINEY PERSON AIJYT OBJECTION-
ABLE.
Mr. Taft objects to Rainey because of
what the president believes to be Rainey's
unfounded and insinuating speeches about
Panama canal graft, In which Charles P.
Taft was placed in_an unfavorable light,
without the sllgHtest justification, the
president says. In other words, he ques-
tions the good faith of the' Illinois con-
gressman simply on the showing made
by him In his speeches on that subject.
The result of President Taft and Speak-
er Cannon's objections to the two men
selected by the democratic caucus is con-
fusion confounded. The republicans got
together and called a caucus "to agree
upon and select the house members of
the investigating committee." The call
does not say the caucus Is to select the
republican members of the committee.
On the contrary the language is "the
committee," which includes two demo-
crats and four republicans.
Radical insurgents and democrats re-
gard the president's and the speaker's at-
tempt to shelve James and Rainey as a
breach of the compromise reached where-
by the insurgent republicans were given
Fepi%sentatlon on the committee and
there was a general understanding tha1
the democrats should choose the men put
on the committee to represent democratic
Interests.
FITZGERALD IS SILENT.
The question arises as to whether the
republican members of the house can in-
duce any democrats to serve on a com-
mittee chosen by the republican caucus.
Only Fitzgerald of New York refused to
commit himself.
"How should I know," said he, when
asked whether he knew of any democrat
who would accept an assignment from
the republican caucus.
The fact is he should know because he
is the leader of a faction which voted
with the house organization in the rule3
fight. All the other elements in the dem-
ocratic membership of the house declared
that none of their colleagues would serve,
Fitzgerlad alone declined to say.
"I will not serve, nor do I know of
any democrat who will," said Represen-
tative Slayden, who, with J. Mitchell
Palmer of Pennsylvania, has been sug-
gested as likely to be chosen by the re-
publican caucus. He said he could not
possibly serve because his name had been
presented to the democratic caucus and
rejected. He is not losing any sleep on
account of the rejection, but he deems
himself bound to decline an assignment
his own colleagues declined to give him,
when they met in caucus.
MISSION OF HAYES.
Representative Hr.yes went to the
White House to tell the president, in
effect, he was afraid he had "been used"
by the democrats in the matter of the
Investigation committee, and that the
democrats were taking advantage of the
opportunities to put two of their most
partisan members on the committee to
jnake political capital out of the affair.
Mr. Hayes told the president that, while
he was an insurgent, he did not intend
to be placed in the position of helping
the democrats to "throw mud at a re-
publican administration." This he was
afraid was going to happen unless some
means of changing the democratic selec-
tion could be devised.
Hardly had Mr. Hayes left the execu-
tive offices when Messrs. Murdock and
G-ardner walked In, arm in arm. They re-
iterated much that Mr. Hayes had said,
but admitted that they did not see exuet-
ly how they were going to get out of the
difficulty.
A statement was prepared b"y Mr. Gard-
ner and Mr. Murdock which said: "We
called on the president and spoke to him
about the personnel of the investigating
committee, but nothing definite was ar-
rived at. The president felt it was not
for him to Indicate his choice as to the
future action of the house In this respect,
« t "rSed that it was of the utmost
Importance that the members of the com-
mittee should be recognized by both sides
of the house as fair and impartial."
INSURGENTS"ARE DIVIDED.
Much importance attaches to the lan-
guage of the call for the republican cau-
cus, as it signifies to what extent the re-
publicans may go In getting a committee
satisfactory to the administration. The
insurgent republicans are divided as to
what should be done in the caucus with
reference to Representatives James and
Rainey.
Several of the leading "insurgents," like
Lenroot of Wisconsin, Poindexter of
Washington and Norrls of Nebraska, say
they will not attend unless the demo-
cratic minority Is accorded the right to
name whomever It chooses for Its repre-
sentatives.
Apparently content to let the insurgents

James of Kentucky and Lloyd of
Missouri Named for Ballinger-
Pinchot Committee.
(Associated Press Report.)
WASHINGTON, January 19.—The cau-
cus of republican members of the house
side of the Ballinger-Pinchot investiga-
tion committee and incidentally rejected
Rainey of Illinois, one of the two demo-
crats selected by the democratic caucus
last Saturday as the house representa-
tive on the committee. The men selected
include three "regular" republicans, Mc-
Call of Massachusetts, Olmstead of
Pennsylvania and Denby of Michigan;
one "insurgent" republican, Madison of
Kansas, and two democrats, James o2
Kentucky and Lloyd of Missouri.
Rainey pf Illinois, who, with James,
was named by the democratic caucus last
Saturday, was rejected by the caucus to-
night and Lloyd was named in his stead.
The caucus lasted three hours and while
characterized by considerable acrimony
was a good deal more peaceful than most
members had expected. Even at that
there was a bolt of six insurgents led by
Cooper of Wisconsin, the other bolter a
being Lenrott, Nelson and Carey of Wis-
"^nsin and Davis and Linbrig of Minne-
sota.
WAS OPPOSED TO TAFT.
In several speeches strong objections
to both James and Rainey were voiced,
the objectors claming to express the
views of President Taft. There was no
objection to either of them, possibly, but
it was urged especially against Rainey
that he was active in "stirring up trou-
ble" for the republican administration on
the Panama canal matters.
The matter will probably come up
the house tomorrow and it is bellevea
that the democrats to a man will vote
to repudiate the republican caucus ac-
tion. Incidentally, there is the question
which could not be answered tonight,
whether, under the circumstance*,
Lloyd will consent to serve.
After the vote nominating four repub-
licans had been taken a separate vote
was ordered on the democratic members
of the committee. At this juncture, Mr.
Cooper arose and declared that he was
authorized by a number of his colleagues
to say that they were opposed to nam-
ing democratic members of a committee
in a republican caucus.
COOPER NOT AFRAID.
"It would be harmful to the republican
party to do so," declared Mr. Cooper.
"Who Is afraid?" he constantly repeat-
ed. "Who is afraid that harm will come
to us from James and Rainey? With ell
their harangues they have never been
able to hurt the republican party or any
member of the republican party. What
chance have they against men like Root,
or Olmstead, or McCall? Let 'em stay on
the committee—they can't hurt us!"
Mr. Cooper constantly caused laughter
by repeated Inadvertent allusions to
Ollle James and Jesse James. When cor-
rected, he said that he had the name of
the famous outlaw in his mind through
reading one of his law cases today, and
meant no reflection upon Representatlvo
James.
"This is a republican cleaning up," said
Mr. Fassett, "and the democrats have
nothing to do with it." Speaker Cannon
opposed any compromise. "'You've got
only two propositions," he said. "Either
accept the democratic, selections or re-
ject them."
