Doc. 2. (A.P.) Peace in the republican ranks Is the obvious objective of organization lenders in dealing with the insurgent question in the organization of the senate and house at the forthcoming session of congress. Senate republican leaders Intend tuht there shall be no fight over the republicanism of Robert M. LaFol lette and an invitation was forthgolng today to tho Wisconsin senutor-elect to attend the republican senate con ference to be held Saturday. At the name time they have taken steps to assure a senate sent to Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, an avowed LaFol lette supporter. While republican leaders In the sen ate were shaping these decisions In conferences begun yesterday on the house side the olive branch was in evi dence In the plan to let Insurgents de cide for themselves if they wish to be considered as returning to. the party fold by their votes on organization of the house before dealing with them in making commitee assignments. An other test of "regularity" will be the vote on a return to the old rules .of procedure. The Insurgents forced amendment of the, rules two years ago. The developments with respect to IjiFolletle and Nye were made known officially after Chairman Watson, of the . republican committee on com mittees and Chairman Ernst of the senate privileges nnd elections cqm-. mltteo lmd visited the White House yesterday. It was later stated there, however, that President Coolldge had not discussed these subjects with his senatorial callers and that he regard- i ed the matter of leading with the In surgents one for the senators them selves to decide. Senator Watson also announced 1 that before the meeting of the senate republican conference Saturday Sena tor LaFollette probably would be ask- ed by the committee on committees to Indicate whether he desired assign ments to the standing committees as a . republican. - 1 In indicating thnt they purpose to' discourage any attempt by individual i senators to raise the question of Mr. IuFollette's party regularity at the hniuraay conference, republican lead ers .are known to take the position that a line should be drawn between his status as a senator nominated and elected on the republican ticket and those senators who were read out of the party a year ago for failure to sup port the republican national ticket in 1924. As to Mr. Nye, who expressed him self as "elated' over the turn of events In his case, most of the repub lican leaders have convinced them selves that Governor Horlie acted with ; full authority under the North Dakota law In appointing him to succeed the late Senator Ladtl. $50,000 Baseball That Gave Pirates Title Is Insured for $250 .

STOPPING SALE 0FG0VTJI1ER Secy, of Interior Declares Timber Resources Threat ened in Oregon Revision of Reclamation Policies Ad visedSettlers Are Lacking WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. (A.P.) Protection of the government's tlm- her lands,a a revision of Its reclama tion' policy, and a prompt and sym pathetic study by congress of the Alaskan problem, are the chief rec ommendations contained in the annu al report of the Interior Department submitted to congress today by Sec retary Work. Administration of the department during the past fiscal year was shown to have cost $40,137,463 less than the previous one, and saving of $82,635, 030 was effected in the last two years. Recommendations for measures to protect the timber reserves were bas ed on the secretary's' prediction that nt the present rate of consumption tho country will soon be , faced with n timber famine, and as a means of rehabilitating tho government's re.

This act, I The count refused to say whether which provides for the outright sale. he contemplated returning to motion o fpublic timber land, was passed by J picture acting,, in which he was en congress almost 50 years ago long gaged for a time before his secret prior to the adoption of the national forest policy. , "Abuses have occurred In the past under Its operation," said the report, and while subsequent measures to pre vent speculation and to obtain a fair .price for the timber sold by the gov ernment had been operated success fully at the expense of the govern ment, the method was not preserving the timber. "As soon as It passes into private ownership, "the report explained, "the marketable timber is usually cut and sold, young growth damaged, and brush left as a fire menace. The section of the Timber and Stone act relating to timhetf was said to be obsolete, and should, the report sa aerted, be repealed, the leasing or sale of stone deposits to be continued. "I believe." said the secretary, "con gress should authorize discontinuing the pale of governemnt owned stand ing timber fo ra ten year period. In Oregon, this plan would defer tempor arily the amount going to the rnilroad and Mvagon road companies and the counties from timber not yet sold. The Increased receipts which would occrue from later handling of the tim ber and resources would, however, more than compensate counties for this delay In disposition." Calling attention to the fact that tho reclamation fund, originally In tended to revolve or be funded In ten yenrs, had not - been funded In 20 years, nnd that there nro large tracts of productive lands on Irrigation pro jects for which there are no settlers, the secretary declared that "until measures have been put Into effect to solve these problems of settlement and development nnd the old pro jects have been made self sustaining, the advisability of undertaking new projects would seem to be conjectural ahl the entire matter shoul dreceive the most serious consideration and attention by congress if a basically sound and unassailable permanent policy Is ever to be evolved."

' ' The former Melllcent Rogers was not at the pier with her young son to greet her nobleman husband and his mother. His brother, Count Otto Salm, and customs officials, were the only persons to welcome him. "I have no knowledge of rumors in reference to a divorce," said the count, "but If it should develop that a per manent separation is necessary I shall certainly demand the custody of my Infant son." The count has never seen his son and explulned that his mother, the Countess Adolphine Salm, had come to the United States to greet her grandson.
