the public highways. There are no cases

nothing definite has been decided.

suspicious. This patient was promptly
quarantined and completely isolated, and
has now almost completely recovered. As
a precautionary measure, however, tho

schools and churches and to suspend for
the present all public gatherings. The
schools, however, are expected to reopen
next Monday.

LOCKHAIIT, Tex.. Jan. 14.-Duncan
Jacksou, the negro who died here yester-
day of spinal meningitis, was biu'ied to-
day. A strict quarantine has been placed
on the home, as well as to those who have
been exposed to the case, and It is thought
that it will bo confined to that particular
house. As tho negro lived eight miles
from town it is no! likely that the dis-
ease will be brought to town. All drug
stores did a thriving business Saturday
selling disinfectants, sprays and other ar-
ticles likely to ward off the disease.

estimated. The impending hearings be-
fore tlio Rules Committee will thresh out
this question and, finally, the resolution
which probably will be reported to tho
House will suggest the amount of the ap-
propriation that is deemed necessary to
properly conduct the investigation.
There will be a number of distinguished
officials and private citizens to appear
before Mr. Henry's committee during
tho hearings preliminary to the actual
research work. These witnesses are in-
terested only in certain phases of the
probe contemplated. Attorney General
Wickersluim and Secretary of Commerce
and I^abor Nagel, who favor especially
the resolution concerning tho shipping in-
terests, will be early witnesses, as will
be James W. Porch of New Orleans, who
represents steamship companies. Repre-
sentative Jefferson \V. Levy ot' New York
wants to be heard, because he is exceed-
ingly opposed to the shipping trust reso-
lution. Mr. Levy intends, it is under-
stood, to fight this proposition in commit-
tee and on the floor of the House. Wil-

UNTERMYER TO TESTIFY.
Samuel Untermyer, a New York law-
yer of prominence, will testify before the
Henry committee in support of the
money trust inquisition. Mr. Untermyer
is being considered by the committee for
legal counsel to aid in ferreting out tho
methods and practices of tho Wall Street
crowd and the emperors of finance gen-
erally. He is reputed to know the ins and
outs of money manipulations, and is
looked upon as a wholly competent legal
adviser for the investigators by Mr.
Henry.

bers of the House—five Democrats and two
Republicans, probably—is favored by the

San Antonio, Texas
Texas chairman of the Rules Committee.
There is a possibility of course of the
Mules Committee deciding that it would be
best to refer the various Investigating reso-
lutions to certain standing committees of
the House; but this course of procedure
is not likely to he taken. Should the Rules
Committee decide that way of Inquiring
into the affairs of the Interests Involved
should be adopted, however, the House
probably would send the money trust reso-
lution to the Committee on Banking and
Currency, of which Representative John M.
Moore of Texas is a mem Iter, and the reso-
lutions affecting the shipping trust and
the harvester I rust to tin1 Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries, of which
.Mr. Hardy is a member. The resolutions
concerning the steamship Hues and the
farm machinery manufacturers are said to
deal with interests more or less allied,
therefore, were they referred to a standing
committee, both would likely go to the
Merchant Marine and Fisheries Committee.
The backers «»f this broad Investigation
expect that conditions will be disclosed,
In the event of its success, that will not
only startle, but establish contentions of
seine legislators that more rigid laws are
demanded to cope with the powers alleged
t< he enthroned behind the branches of
big business mentioned.
RIVERS AND HARBORS BILL.
Regardless of reports of the probable
failure of Congress to pass a river and
harbor bill in this session, It can be said
that a river and harbor bill will be
passed at this session of Congress in all
probability. There Is a tacit understand-
ing to this effect among the leaders of
the House, and members of the Rivers and
Harbors Committee are at work prepar-
ing a measure that will be reported early
next month.
Just what appropriation the bill will
carry is problematical at this time, al-
though it seems safe to say that it will
be in the neighborhood of .%'(),000,000 which*
with the amount carried in the Sundry
Civil bill, for work under continuing con-
tracts (about $12,000,000), will bring the
total around the thirty million mark,
previously estimated in these dispatches.
TO CAUCUS ON IRON AND STEEL.
A caucus of House Democrats on the
iron and steel tariff schedule Is likely be-
fore tho end of this week. Tho Ways and
Means Committee, as soon as the al-
ready completed pension appropriation
bill is passed by the House, will be
ready to report the iron and steel sched-
ule revision to tho caucus for approval
particularly with a view to giving steel
the right of way in tho tariff proceed-
ings in the House.
Even the chemical schedule bids fair
to precede the wool tariff revision, for
wool has been switched to let steel re-
vislor proceed. This is a virtual acccpt-
anco of tlio challenge of William J.
Bryan who, during the extra session,
ascribed to Democratic Leader Under-
wood personal motives' in putting other
revisions ahead of steel.
All this week Panama Canal control
and management will figure in hearing-
of the House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce, which is to re-
port legislation at this session fixing the
tolls and regulations. Capt. Charles A
McAllister, chief engineer of tho revenue
cutter service, tomorrow will appear to
discuss regulations fur tho measurement
of tonnage of ships.
TO VOTE ON PRESIDENT PRO TEM.
Absent Senators have been urged by
telegraph to bo here Tuesday when Sen-
ator Galllnger will ask the Senate to
vote on the choice of president pro tern
of the Senate. There are no Indications
that the Senators are any readier to set-
tle this question than -when the unsuc-
cessful effort was made at the extra ses-
sion, the obstacle still being lack of
agreement between tho regular and pro-
gressive Republicans.
The arbitration treaties' with England
and Franco will como up in tho near
future. A movement is on foot to con-
sider them in executive session, to head
off protracted debate and oratory.
Senator Lorimor of Illinois will resume
his defense tomorrow before the Senate
committee investigating his election. He
probably will bo 011 the stand most of
the week. The House committee on steel
trust affairs will continue its hearing to-
morrow and the House committee in-
quiring into tho sugar trust will hear
two witnesses from California, one from
Ohio and one representative of a beet
sugar refiner from Indiana, who recently
returned from Europe where he inspected
beet sugar factories.
Senator Borah of Idaho has planned to
press his bill for the creation of a child
labor bureau. Friends of the measure
claim they can muster a two-thirds vote
on the Senate. Mr. Borah will make a
speech on the public land laws Wednes-
day.
