Los Angeles, Jan. 12. Like a shot

piloted by Clifford Harmon bounded
Into the sky shortly before noon, and
was soon drifting through the haze
at an estimated altitude of 1200 feet.
The Balloon "Peoria," piloted by
Frank Kanne, struck the side of a

could not unload the ballast quickly
enough. No one was hurt, and the
balloon continued on Its'voyage. The

Dwight, Republican and

together Over Old Custom.
OLD PR VtTICE OF

Insurgent Aroused al Latest Move of
Regulars Dwight Instructs Pair
Clerks to Cease Pairing Republi
can Mionbers iarner Makes Coun.
tcr Move by Reviving Old House
Rule While Slavery Bills Are In
troduced. Washington. Jan. 12. An ancient
custom of the house of representa
tives In use for 50 years, was over
turned yesterday by Representative
Dwight of Xew York, republican,
when he instructed the pair clerks
at the speaker's desk to cease pairing
republican members except under
prescribed conditions.
The move is declared by democrats
and Insurgents to be directed against
the latter and intended to give the
organization additional leverage when
close votes occur.
Representative Garner of Texas,
temporary democratic whip, said that
Mr. Dwight had instructed the pair
clerks to make no pairs excepting on
Mr. Dwight's approval. This M r.
Dwight denies, but the upshot of the
matter was that Mr. Garner invoked
ns a counter move a long buried and
hitherto unobserved rule of the house
and members will hereafter be requir
ed to make their pairs in writing at
the speaker's desk.
Custom Is Old One.
For a score of years or more rt li
been the custom to allow pairs at any
time-without question. The almost ' wa taken to the state prison today
forgo. ten rule of tho house on the j to begin a Hfe sentence for the killing
subjeVt. requires that -Hr members, -j of Henry Miner. a ..Ypsllantlau unl
detfring to be paired, must annource : versity student. . .
such intention at the speakers desk Following is one of his statements:
Mr. Garner, in order to counteract
the move of Mr. Dw'ght. gave instruc-
tions to the- democratic pair clerk
thnt no pairs were to be allowel at
the desk except in strict accordance
ith the rule on the subject.
Under the order attributed to Mr.
Dwight, he would be able to control
the voting absentees or those desvii-?
to be paired, which, it was pointed
out, would not work to the advantage
of the house Insurgents slnco the re
publican whip is working in harmony
with the regulars.
The move of the ilemoc its. if suc
cessful, may result In greatly limii nj
tVe proposition of pairing as we'.l as
perhaps nullifying the effor; of tha
republican regulars to embarrass the
Insurgents. It might aid any insur
gent, who waa laboring under offi
cial displeasure and discr.mlnatlon by
enabling him to arrange a pair by!
going to the speaker's desk.
Representative Garner pointed out
that this move would result In In
creasing the -attendance of the house
as those members who were frequent
ly absent and counted always as pair
ed, would be compelled to attend and
arrange their pairs in order to have
them show In the record.
No caucus of the house republi
cans on the Ballinger-Plnchot com
mittee has been called, according to
the statement of Representative Cur
rier of New Hampshire, chairman of
the caucus. One may be issued at any
time, however, and the insurgents
may not be bidden to take part in It.
The democrats will probably caucus
on the subject the latter part of the
week.
White Slavery Discussed.
After passing the army appropria
, tion bill carrying $92,200,000 for the
! maintenance of the army during the
fiscal year of 1911, the house took up
today one of the so-called "white
slave" bills.
Opposition developed to that portion
j of the measure1 reported by the 'm
mlgration committee, which make? it
a felony for any person to assist an
other to go from one state to another
j for the purpose of engaging In pros-
titution. It was contended by Messrs.
j Bartlett of Georgia. Goebel of Ohio,
' and Richardson of Alabama hat sueh
j action wouid be an encroachment up
I on state's rights, as under the const I
: tutlon each state has the solo power
I to regulate Its own morals..
j The other white slave bill, t'rv; one
I Introduced by Mr. Mann, enlarges up
on the interstate commerce feature
of the pending measure so ns to pre
vent "white slave" traffic between
tne states. The Immigration commit
tee seeks to exclude from the country
all undesirable and especially immor
ul women and men who traftUt in
them.
Mr. Bennett and Mr. Man.i express
ed the hope that both bills m-ght pass
rnd Mr. Mann Indicated a: effort
w uld be made to have hi3 measure
called up as soon as disposition was
ni.idc.of the pend'ng bill.
The "white slave" bill st'l was un
i'rr consideration when the h"use ad
journed until tomorrow.
Butte. Mont., Jan. 12. In
quarrel over the homesteading
of a few acres of ground in tho
field of Cyrus Spangler, a well
known stockman, Lawrence
Bowland, a ranch hand, waa
shot to death by Spangler today.
Bowland, who was employed by
Spangler on his ranch near
Butte, had gone into the field
to help set up stakes. A dis
pute arose during which Span
gler di-clared his employe drew
a revolver and the stockman
said he fired at Bowiand with a
revolver in self defense. Bow
land was killed Instantly.

An Arbor, Mich., Jan. 12. Robert
McCormlck, the boy bandit, gave out
a remarkable statement today, which
is engaging the attention of the pro
fessors of the state university. The
lad arraigns the authorities for their
methods in dealing with youthful

The professors who have read the

he has offered a document full of
food for study to sociologists.

Chicago, Jan. 12. Following the
arrival today of detectives Scahlon
and Emanuel of Philadelphia at the
Central office. Frederick Cohen the
waiter who eloped from Philadelphia
with Roberta DeJanon, the 17 year
old heiress to a fortune of ten million
dollars waived extradition. He will
be taken to Philadelphia late today,
or tomorrow. Cohen and Miss De
Janon left Philadelphia December
19, and after thre weeks wandering
reached Chicago where they were
found by the police.
Since their capture little Roberta
has declared determinedly that the
fault of the escapade is hers at every
turn she tried to shield the middle
aged man who left his wife to accom
pany her. Cohen accepts the girl's
sacrifice without a qualm. He re
iterated to the police today that he
ran away with Roberta only when
she threatened to kill herself If he
stayed at home. He declared he had
been hypnotized in doing this thing
for which he has not had a taste. Be
is content that Rcfierta accept the
entire blame. When he waived extra
dition today he declared that neither
the girl's father nor her grandfather,
the millionaire, Robert Bulst, will
prosecute him. - He is apparently cer-
tain that the little girl wilt protect
him. "Why." he declared, "Roberta's
father will thank me for keeping her
from committing suicide." Roberta
is ready to return home immediately.
She declared today that the onry
thing that she cares to do now is to
go to her father and grandfather.
She announced, however, that she
would do everything to shield Cohen,
and stated that if . possible will per
suade her father to give him money
for caring for her during the trip.
