INSURGENCY WILL BE ENDED Democrats Sure to Justify Rules by Adopting Them. NEW LEADERS ARE NEEDED Elimination of Present Heads, Reg ulars Argne, Will Help Party Im mensely Cannonism Will Xo Ixmger Embarrass Party. OR EGONTA JT NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, March 23. Particularly In view of the result of the election of Tues day In the Fourteenth Massachusetts District, In which a Democrat was elected to the House by a large plu rality, though the district never be fore has returned a Democrat and was overwhelmingly Republican In the last election, there are few Republicans In either branch of Congress who believe that the Republican party can carry the next House of Representatives. As has been told In the news dis patches, the Fourteenth Massachusetts District has been the most consistently Republican of any of the Republican Massachusetts districts. The change in the figures can be accounted for only partially by the factional party fight in that section. From a Republican plurality of 14,250 the district went Dem ocratic by 5840. With these figures In view, say the Republicans In Congress, and considering the nature of the fight waged by which the result was brought about, there is no hope at all that the Republicans can prevail in a majority of the other districts of the country. Republicans See Ultimate Good. However, the Republicans as a whole are not sad. Regulars voice the opinion generally that Democratic victory In the coming elections will do the Republican party a world of good. It will remove Cannonism as an Issue, they argue; it will put the blame on, and eliminate, the insurgents, and it will bring forth a new set of Re publican leaders, of which the party is sorely in need. Once out of the Speaker's chair. Can non never will be returned. Today Cannon Is perhaps the heaviest burden the Republican party is asked to bear. But a Democratic House will be bene ficial to the Republicans la more ways than one. That House. Just as sure as fate, will readopt the rules which have been so scathingly denounced by both Democrats and Insurgent Republi cans In the present Congress, and a Democratic Speaker, no matter who he may be, will enforce those rules every bit as rigidly as Cannon has ever done. This will demonstrate to the country that the House rules, when it comes to a show down, cannot be made a party Issue, and that both parties are bound to maintain them, regardless of popular hue and cry. Insurgents Will Be to Blame. If the Democrats carry the Congress election next November it will be large ly due to the split in the Republican party, brought about by the insurgents. The small minority of the Republican party in the House will be responsible for the defeat of the entire party. The insurgents will then be held up be fore the country In their true light, as a gang of marauders who prefer a Democratic House to one dominated by men of their own party. And such a situation. In the Judgment of regu lars, is bound to weaken the cause of insurgency and result in the ultimate elimination of at least a part of the disturbing element In the Republican ranks. But there are other benefits that would accrue to the Republican party as a whole from the election of a Dem ocratic House. Such an event would remove forever from position of power some of the antiquated so-called lead ers of the present House majority, and afford opportunity for the selection of new and better leaders when the Re publicans again come into power. The leadership of men like Payne of New York, Dwlght of New Tork, Louden slager of New Jersey and Crump&cker of Indiana would end with the election of a Democratic House, and none of those men, who today are a menace to the Republican party, would ever re gain his place of high rank in the next Republican House. Payne Is Has-Becn. Sereno E. Payne, chairman of the ways and means committee, and nom inal floor leader of the Republicans, Is no more competent to lead his party than the humblest doorkeeper in the House galleries. Payne has passed into the has-been class. He has become an Irascible old scold, continually dis tempered, personally offensive to every member of the House, and with It all o stupid that he repeatedly falls to sleep while sitting at his desk on the floor of the House, or when presiding o,ver his committee on ways and means. He has none of the requirements of leadership, but has become - dull and altogether ready for prompt retire- goneluiled on.

INSOLVENCY DEBATE HELD 'Inability to Pay," State's Defini tion, Private Fortune Is Prop Contends Defense Witness by Charts ' Traces Accounts. By far the most telling evidence as to the condition of the Oregon Trust & Savings 'Bank yet adduced by the pros ecution of Walter H. Moore was pro vided yesterday by John Y. Richardson, an expert accountant. Mr. Richardson evinced thorough fa miliarity with the books of the wrecked bank and answered all questions prompt ly and clearly. With charts, erected on a stand before the Jury, and the books of the bank before him, he traced entries and analyzed them, that they could be understood easily by the dozen men try ing the ex-bank president. Mr. Richardson said the bank was un questionably insolvent, and that its books had been falsified to cover the with drawal of $80,000 notes belonging to Moore and Morris, the cashier, which had not been paid. He also testified that the actual running expenses of the bank had been $65,000 in excess of the Income and earnings of the institution during the period that It was located at Sixth and Washington streets. The books, he said, were falsified to hide this bad manage ment. Books Falsified, Alleged. Creation of the surplus, which was ad vertised, was explained by him and he elucidated the mysteriocs disappearance of $50,000 from the bank December 16, 1908. The $60,000 entry, he testified, was made to cover a series of entries extend ing more than six months prior to De cember 15. ' These entries, he declared, led through a confusing route to hide their' true nature, which. In reality, he said, consisted of a falsification of the books to ' cover the withdrawal of Moore's and Morris" notes for $-5,000 each. . The conviction with which Mr. Rich ardson spoke, the clearness with which he made the points stand out in his tes timony and the ease with which he an swered Attorneys Fulton and McGinn In their attack on his ' testimony in cross examination, made the expert the most sensational and interesting witness called since the beginning of the trial. Attorney Fulton resorted to all the arts of the cross-examiner in questioning Mr. Richardson, but failed to break down any part of the evidence brought out by the prosecution. Insolvency Is Argued. Prior to the testimony of Mr. Richard son, T. C. Phaler, also an expert, had Concluded on Page &.) Bride Is Daughter of Late W. S. Chase and Bridegroom Well Known Multnomah Clubman.

Since the ex-Presldent is not a Catholic, the precedence of the Vatican visit over that to the Qulr lnal was not indispensable. Although it was feared that strict rules of etiquette might lead to the cancelling- of audience. as in the Fairbanks case, and the visit to the Pope was made conditional upon Mr. Roosevelt's not lecturing befor. Methodists, this contingency prac tically has been excluded. When he was at Naples last year, on his way to Africa. Mr. Roosevelt declined an invitation to address the Methodist College at Rome.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23. With the Issuance by the student body of the Uni versity of California tonight of an ulti matum to Stanford- in which they prac tically demand that their view of the eligibility of student athletes be ac cepted, there is every reason to believe that athletic relations between the two universities may be indefinitely broken off. It la not so much the conditions re quested by California that are resented by Stanford as the dictatorial tone of the resolutions adopted, and scores of Stan ford men declare they cannot afford to do other than turn California down. The dispute is over the question of how long a student may compete In athletics. At Stanford, where the faculty require ments relating to athletes are more strict than at California, it is contended that an athlete should be permitted to four years of actual competition, no matter whether he is in the university four or six years California insists that an ath lete be permitted to compete four colle giate years within a period of five years after his first matriculation. The intercollegiate agreement committee has been hopelessly deadlocked for sev eral weeks. Today the student body of California decided to stand back of its committee. The committee was in structed to hold another meeting with the Stanford committee before Saturday, and If the Berkeley demand Is not com plied with, to sever all athletic relations. As the first game of the Stanford-California baseball series is scheduled for Sat urday, it can be readily understood that the issue Is to be forced at once. With California standing Arm and al ready on record, and' the prominent Stan ford students hostile at the tone of the note, the situation is decidedly gloomy, unless some arbitration is interposed.
