OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wsh
ington. April IS. Republican Insurg
ency In Congress seems to be on the
verse of dissolution. Some of the more
prominent Insurgents hare shown a
tendency to get back into the councils
of the Republican party, and to act
hereafter with the majority of that
party In Congress. Not all. however,
will return. The more radical element
will hold oat. and attempt to form a
third party, which they hope to dom
inate. Falling In that, they may slump
over Into the Democratic ranks. But
the Insurgent element, as such. Is most
certainly going to pieces
There axe 12 Republican Insurgents
In the Senate and 43 In the House of
Representatives. Five of the Senate
Insurgents are so radical that they
will, under no circumstances, compro
mise with the regular Republican
organization. The remaining seven
have expressed dissatisfaction with
the Intense radicalism of the minority,
and If It comes to a parting of the
ways, the seven will return to the fold,
leaving the radicals to stand alone, or
go whff they will. In the House there
are but 17 radicals, led by Cqoper of
Wisconsin, the . remaining; : have
shown a desire for harmony In the Re
publican psrty. t
Democratic Majority Safe.
The Insurgents In the House of Rep
resentatives hold oo strategic position
at Ibis time, for the Democrats have
a safe majority of CS. and do not need
the assistance of the Insurgents In
pushing through Democratic measures.
These same Insurgents flntt themselves
In the hopeless minority In the Repub
lican organization of the House, being
only one-fourth of the total Republi
can membership, and therefore they
cannot dominate the will of the minor
ity, the House Insurants are absolute
tf powerless.
In the Senate, the insurgents. If they
could hold together, could wield the
balance of power throughout this Con
gress, for the 13 Insurgent votes, added
to the 41 Democratic votes, would con
stitute a majority of the Senate, and
such a combination could rliie rough
shod over the regular Republicans, who
number but 3S. The five radicals
among the Senate Insurgents, indeed,
might hold the balanctf of power If
they could effect a hard-and-fast agree
ment with the solid Democracy, but
there Is Just now dissension among the
Democrats of the Senate, and If a
Democratic Insurgent combination
should be proposed, there probably
would be a few Democrats willing to
vote against the combination, and two
of them could render It powerless. So
the Senate Insurgents do not hold the
situation In absolute or certain control.
Senate Insurgents Divided.
Insurgents In the Senate are dividing
primarily over the question of loyalty
to the Taft Administration. Senator La
Follette baa of late been forging to
the front, and as he has gained dis
tinction, has undertaken to line up the
Insurgents against the Administration,
not only for the purpose of hampering
Administration legislation, but with a
view to preventing the renomlnatlon ef
President Taft. He finds that not all

Several Creditable Things
Done Project Voted Down.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.. April 15. (Spe
cial.) Milwaukee will have had a
Socialist administration for one year
next Tuesday, that day being the an
niversary of the party's assumption of
power. Never before has the city and
the county administration been so com
pletely under the dbmlnance of one
political party as they .have been under
the control of the Socialists this last
year.
What Milwaukee thinks of this one
year's experience was evidenced In the
recent election, when the 11,000,000
suburban line terminal project was
voted down by a majority of more
than 4000 votes. That the public was
discriminating In Its vote and voted
down this Socialist project with a pur
pose la evidenced by the fact that
school bond for almost $300,000 were
validated by about the same majority.
Some Changes Creditable.'
Here are some of the principal things
that stand as accomplished to the credit
of the Socialists:
They have organized a' city purchas
ing department through which all city
supplies must be purchased. In the
past all departments had acted inde
pendently and without any check ex
cept such as might be exercised
through the controller.
They have given policemen two days
off a month, against the violent op
position of the chief, who declared that
the department would be crippled by
so doing.
Woman Official Efficient.
A woman health inspector has been
appointed who looks after the welfare
of women employed Industrially and
commercially, with the result that con
ditions throughout the city have grown
better In these branches In city life.
The. Health Department has been ef
fective 1"- bettering conditions of work
ingmen throughout the city.-
Wages of city laborers have been in
creased slightly, being now not quite
12 a day. This, too, originally was a
political move and followed the union
ising of all city laborers. In the' re
cent elections garbage collectors and
employes at the Incinerator were given
cards with instructions how to vote
and a check card, punched by the
Socialist challenger, had to be turned
In at the party headquarters.
Tne union label appears on all city
printing and wherever union labor Is
being employed. In some Instances
nonunion mechanics working for the
city were forced Into labor organiza
tions on pain of losing their places.
Among many actions of the Socialists
listed as discreditable are the follow
ing: The city was promised experts In
every important department, but in not
one Instance has the administration
made good.
By act of the Legislature the city
was permitted to change from a three
man Board of Public Works to a one
man board. A trades school teacher
was selected for the Job. He has been
found serviceable In turning out the
appolnteea under civil service.
Socialists Throng City Hall.
Almost every paying position in the
City Hall Is filled with an active So
cialist worker, a situation unknown In

MEXICAN BORDER
TO BE PEACEFUL
Taft Sends Warning to
Diaz About Fighting.
HINT OF CONSEQUENCE GIVEN
Another Regiment of Cavalry
Sent to Arizona.
TAFT READY FOR ACTION
H Another American Town Threat-
ened by Slexican Bullets, Acute
. Situation Would Arise.
Rebels Will Not Offend.
WASHINGTON, April 15. With rumors
here of another conflict at Agua Prleta,
the President today ordered the Sixth
Cavalry regiment of 800 men from Des
Moines, la., to Arizona, to reinforce the
posts there.
This step supplements the President's
warning to the Mexican and revolu
tionary authorities that American lives
and interests must not be endangered
by unrestrained border line fighting. It
completes, it Is said, the Administra
tion's present programme of precaution.
The fact Is emphasized in official
quarters- that the American troops hava
Instructions not to cross Into Mexico.
The officers have been ordered to pre
serve a strict neutrality and to see that
American citizens do not expose them
selves to danger.
ir Mexico Offends, Taft Will Act.
It is expected in Administration circles
that the Mexican government and the
insurgent commanders will heed the
warning from President Taft, and as far
as possible choose their battle grounds
with respect for the rights of a neutral
power. No reply has been received by
the State Department to the representa
tions made to the Mexican government
In this connection, although Assurances
have been received from the rebel com
mander at Agua Prleta.
Officials are loath to discuss the acute
situation that would arise if an Ameri
can town is again threatened. It is
made plain it would create a diplomatic
Incident that would be Immediately re
ferred to and dealt with by the Presi
dent directly.
Customs Affairs in Abeyance.
As- far as the customs situation at
Agua. Prieta is concerned, involving the
question of recognizing the control of
the rebels, official Washington is await
ing developments. The Treasury Depart
ment telegraphed the collector of the
port of Douglas for a report of condi
tions there and at Agua Prieta. The in
ternational aspect of the case Is re
ceiving the close attention of the State
Department. The Administration, It is
said, will await official reports before
determining a line of policy.
Tbe additional troops ordered to Ari
zona will be distributed to Fort
Huachuca, Nogales and Douglas, one
quadron going to each. Nogales, like
Douglas, is practically on the border
line, while Fprt Huachuca lies about
midway between the two, but 40 miles
from, the boundary. In addition to the
troops ordered directly to Douglas, Cap
tain Gaujot, commanding the patrolling
force there, has been given a free hand
to cflTl upon near-by posts for assistance.
Americans Cause Casualties.
Americans fighting with the lnsurrectos
were the direct cause of the casualties
that occurred at Douglas, according to a
telegram received by an official of the
War Department from John Doan, a
citizen of Douglas. Mr. Doan takes iesue
with telegrams sent the President by the
Douglas Chamber of Commerce In re
gard to the situation.
"The United States Army officers at
Dougiae," Mr. Doan declares; "have com
plete control of the situation. In all
probability there will be no further en
gagement that will direct a line of Are
Into Douglas. The line of Are that fell

LOS ANGELES. Cal April 15. (Spe
cial.) The municipality has begun the
establishment of the most natural and
novel zoological gardens in the world.
It will be In the heart of 3000-acre
Griffith Park, a mountainous jungle
within the city limits, and there the
big game animals from every part of
the globe will roam In a wild state,
hemmed in by unscalable precipices and
picturesque crags, with forests, caves,
streams, and a virtual wilderness of
vegetation to sustain them.
The beasts will be confined to Ver
mont Canyorf. a heavily wooded tract of
about 500 acres, with precipices en
tirely encircling it, and instead of
walking up and down before cages and
iron gratings spectators will look down
from the hills and see elephants, elk,
deer, camels, zebras, giraffes and bear
grazing below. A herd of elk and sev
eral splendid specimens of nylghaus, as
well as hundreds of wild cats, foxes,
coyotes and a number of deer are al
ready there. Several bear also make
their homes In the caverns at the base
of the cliffs.
The city has 60 animals in East Lake
Park which soon will be taken to the
gardens. An association of leading
hunters has been formed and will raise
$50,000 to bring big game from other
lands. The. members will also bring in
all young animals taken on their hunt
ing trips.
A winding automobile road commands
a view of the entire gardens.

Malone then went out on his beat and

South to cities on the western edge of
the continent while the special rates
offered by the various lines were in force.
This 'figure, it is declared, exceeds by
fully 15.000 the total of last Spring, when
