Republicans Decide to Attempt
Reconciliation With Insur
gents in Congress La Fol
lette Supporter in North Da
kota Assured Support
Saturday Conference Called
WASHINGTON. 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.

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.

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

"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."

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

the secretary declared that "until
measures have been put Into effect to

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

Nobleman Who Married $40,
000,000 Rogprs Heiress Re
turns to America to Find
Wife May Follow Her to
Palm Beach Wants Son.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2. (A.P.)
Count Ludwig Salm von Hooustraeten,
who arrived yesterday from Europe to
see the Infant son of his countess, the
(40,000.000 Rogers heiress, Is trying
to decide whother or not to follow her
to Palm Beach. ' '
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.
"Whether my wife will accompany
me on my return to Europe and
whether I shall return there depends
upon future developments." he con
tinued. He added that he and his
wife had been amicable until her re
turn to America, when she was "sub
jected to influences beyond my con
trol." He said that Emll Kammerer. IVen
na lawyer, whd recently brought suit
In Brooklyn against Countess. Salm
for alleged unpaid fees, was retained
by him for services which had noth
ing to do with . his title as count.
"which has not and cannot be ques
tioned." Kammerer. asking $6,199,
charged that the countess had retain
ed him to secure from, he- Austrian
Kovernment validation of, ithe mar
riage and authorization to bear the
marriage nearly two years ago. He
said he would have objected to his
wife leaving him before the birth of
their child if he had known there was
a prospect of her not returning to
him.

ment inquiry, transmitted Information
showing the courts in Oregon wore

Attorney M -tie bun wants more infor

boasted of conquests over every girl
whose name was mentioned. An-,
noyed by Nye's disparagement of a
certain girl, ho Invited him to spend
the night with him and kilted him
as he slept. ' Ho denied, however,
that either Violet Smith or l'lrio'a
1 tl-year-old sister,. Margaret, was
mentioned.
Violet Smith, seventeen, who "had
been going wlth" Gordon Pirie, but
denies ibha.waH his sweetheart. heH:
ed Mr. McUehan to get theecWd
confession from tMrle ufter a first
statement In which he declared he
obeyed a sudden IrrlslstUile and Inex
plicable impulse to kill his friend.
I'rged by the district attorney, she
advised Plrie to tell the truth.
A sense of chivalry, perhaps ting
ed with jealousy, was the motive that
IMrle said led him to batter his
rrlend's head with a hatchet and
then to hide the body under his
sister's bed, where It was found
Sunday.
, "He had a plan for disposing of
the body but It is too revolting to
tell about," said Mr. McUeghan.
Sunday evening, after the killing
IMrle went with Violet and two other
girls to a movie. "The papers are
all' wrong when they talk about our
drinking and wild parties," said Vio
let in telling about It. "Our bunch
doesn't drink nnd not one of us girls
smokes."
At the movie l'lrle acted naturally
and treated the girls to hot choco
late after aid with $6.56 he had
taken from Nye's pocket.
"1 just can't believe he did It."
said Violet. "I Just can't. That's
why 1 urged him to tell the truth."
Plrle's "gang" still .believes In him
and will stand by him, in her opin
ion. Mr. McUehan expects to-summon
a grand Jury for a first degree

The plaintiff's attorney made.-
point of the absence from the court
of any memher or the ltlrlnelandtr
