INSURGENTS MAY CAUSE OPEN SPLIT They Accuse Regulars of Packing. CRISIS IN SENATE IS ACUTE Demand of Insurgents for Committee Places Cause. TARIFF QUESTION INVOLVED Dispute Will Come to Issue at Cau cus Today and May Be Carried to Senate Floor Bourne Like ly to Get Appropriations. WASHINGTON. April 15. Differences between the regular and Insurgent Re publican Senators over the organisa tion of committees appear far from be ing healed and a caucus called for to morrow afternoon to consider the as signments agreed upon by the commit tee on committees may develop Into a party break. Two sessions of the committee were held today and the regulars positively declined to meet Insurgent demands, which they said were unreasonable. The regulars have a large majority In the caucus and It Is not Improbable th Insurgents may carry their de mands to the floor of the Senate, which, leaders In both factions admit, would bring about a party spilt. Four points of difference remain to be settled. La Follette wants to go on Interstate commerce, Cummins on finance, Brlstow on foreign relations and Bourne on appropriations. All of these are members of the committee on committees. Apparently there Is no difficulty about the assignments given by th regulars to members of the In surgent faction who are not on the committee on committees. La Follette declined a place on appropriations and urged that It be given to Bourne. Issue Clearly Defined. The Issue between the regulars and insurgents Is clearly defined, according to the views of each faction. The regulars Insist they have given the In surgents everything to which they are entitled under the rules laid down: that of length of service, which gives to the minority the choice of a large number of Important places. The regulars point to the fsct that the Insurgent members of the commu te on committees all have good places. among them: La Follette, chairman of census. finance, manufactures, Indian' affairs and some committees of less Impor tance. He was offered appropriations, generally regarded aa the greatest of all committees, but declined It and in sisted upon Interstate commerce. Cummins Chairman of civil service.

MAROONED 3 DAYS FALSE TEETH LOST, OXION AND BUTTER ONLY FOOD. Captain Frank, 68, Wrecked Near Cape Flattery, Makes Shore on Raft, Walks 80 Miles. SEATTLE, ' Wash., April 25. (Spe cial.) No sea story by Stevenson pic tures more harrowing experience than that of Captain Charles Frank, aged 68 years, who reached Seattle after haying been wrecked with the power schooner Stockholm on Ozett Rocks, the graveyard of the Pacific, 16 miles south of Flattery. Captain Frank was marooned alone for three days, three miles from the mainland. After a number of futile at tempts, he constructed a raft, on which he managed to make the shore. He walked 30 miles to an Indian reserva tion, where he was cared for until he was strong enough to walk to Neah Bay. During the time between the wreck and his arrival at the Indians' - camp. Captain Frank had for food one onion and a piece of butter the size of a man's nst, which had washed ashore. Captain Frank's hardship was in creased by the fact that he lost his false teeth when he was washed on Ozett Rocks and could mactlcate his scant provender only with greatest dif ficulty.

Llppman, president of the Liability Underwriters of Washington, announces that a Joker has been dis covered in the new insurance code which will prevent every Insurance company, represented in ths state, from writing boiler or sprinkler Insurance.

CUPID IS KICKED 00T OF COLLEGE Girl in Love Suspended , by Faculty. OTHER MAIDS ARE IN PANIC Carnegie School Heads Deal Harshly With Master Dan. NEWSPAPER BARES WORK Ad-Ice to Lovelorn Column in Pitts burg Dally' Leads to War on "Coiirtin" at Women's Depart ment of Technical Institute. PITTSBURG. April 23. (Special.) . One girl student at the Margaret Mor rison Carnegie School, the women's branch of the Carnegie Technical Schools, has been suspended because she was suffering from what the fac ulty calls "puppy love," but what she thinks Is the real thing, other girls are In a panic and Master Cupid Is hiding in Panther Hollow, Schenley Park, where the schools are situated. The professional adviser of that por tion of Pittsburg's youthful population which suffers from "puppy love" and which writes to the newspaper em ploying this friend of the lovesick for advice, probably realizes by this time that her advice Is as nothing In the way of wholesome effect compared to the application of a barrel stave by a stern parent. An instructor In the Carnegie School perused the "cupid page" of a dally paper and found a letter from a "tech" school girl. Charms Are Described. The writer minutely described her charms, asked whether she was to be considered pretty, told of her love affair with a young man and asked the guardian of "puppy lovers" If she thought the youth really had serious Intentions. But alas, the little girl signed herself "M. M. C. S. Student." the mystic let ters stanjiing for Margaret Morrison Carnegie School. The instructor Im mediately Informed the other members of the faculty and the student who had described herself so minutely was given the "third degree" and confessed. Then she was suspended. W. P. Field, secretary of the board of trustees of Carnegie Technical Schools, made the following statement today: "Action by the faculty was taken In this case In order to maintain the disci pline of the Institution. While the of fense is entirely within the province of the faculty to pass upon, the mem bers exceedingly regret the publicity given the case. The girl has been sus pended for the rest of the term, but probably will be allowed to enter the June examinations." Some members of the faculty spoke of the culprit as a foolish, Indiscreet child, and smiled Indulgently. Other girls at the school who have been letting "Tech" boys carry their books and pay their car fare are much wrought up since the members of the faculty have barred Dan Cupid. NEAR-MAGIC SAVES JEWEL Woman's Brooch Sticks on Auto Tire and Travels 1000 Miles. OCEAN PARK, CaL, April 25. (Spe cial.) Near-magic has been discovered In a diamond brooch by Mrs. Walter Keating, wife of one of the wealthy heirs of the late nitrate king. Though the brooch fell from her waist into the street.

They searched the streets for hours and had given up hope when a message reached them from their garage today stating that the precious article had been found. It had fallen In such a way that tha sharp end Imbedded Itself in one of the automobile tires with the brooch proper on the side of ths wheel, so It came In contact with nothing. It is estimated that the brooch was carried more than 1000 miles. COUGAR'S CLUTCH GRAZED Brute Springs at Farmhand Near Centralla Animal Wounded. CENTRALIA. Wash., April 25. (Spe cial.)
