" ' " ' - Washington, Jan. 26.- Representa tive Hitchcock, of Nebraska, sprang a sensation in the House today by de manding an investigation of the "ir regular proceeding" wbich has result ed in a delay of 49 days in getting the reports of the Bailinger-Pinchot In vestigating Committee printed and- in to the hands of members .of the House. , An acrimonious debate followed in which Speaker Cannon took an active part, his resenting what he termed an implied criticism of. the chair. Ihe House, after listening to var ious explanations as to the probable cause of delay, voted almost unani mously in support of a resolution or dering an investigation by the Gom mittee on Rules. , The resolution was introduced by Hitchcock. It requested an investiga tion and report wlthin one week. A former resolution by Mr. Hitch cock stated, that three reports were received from the committee on inves tigation on December last and sharply criticised the "unexplained delay, doubt and mystery in referring said reports to the Committee on Agricul ture." - - ' . . v The resolution set forth that the reference was not made until Decem ber 19th. The Committee on Agricul ture did not receive the printed re ports .until ' yesterday. "During -taat leriod," continued the resolution, "they were neither upon the Speaker's table, nor in the hands of the Commit tee on Agriculture. V.", - J ,.'. "Thereroirerilesolved, -That-tJieee ir regular proceedings and this mislead ing and improper, treatment of these reports, rendering them for sit weeks unavailable and inaccessible, consti tute a violation of the, proper proce dure or tne House, ana tne committee on Rules be and it is hereby directed, to investigate and report to the House within one week the reason for the delay and irregular treatment of the reports." Speaker Cannon said he knew noth ing of why the delay should have oc4 curred. Mr. .Cannon intimated that if Mr. Hitchcock had been present in the House oftener in the past few weeks and had earlier called attention to the matter ther might not have been so much delay. It was then that the substitute res olution was offered. Representative Scott, of Kansas, chairman ofv the Committee on Agriculture, declared that the delay, according to a report riom the government printing office, nad been due to the necessity of pre paring a lithograph map of Alaska. "That shows another reason for this investigation," shouted Mr. Hitchcock. "Your explanation is entirely different irom the Speaker's." "I said the delay might have been due to extra copies," said the Speak er with a bang of the gavel. "Mat ters of this kind pass beyond the view of the Speaker after reference Is made. As far as the Speaker or his force is concerned, this matter has bton handled according to the law the rules and the practice of the House.

ASK HIGH RATES ON R. F. & P. Partition Agreed Before State Corpo ation Commission. Richmond, Va., Jan. 26: Before the State Corporation Commission today there was argument on the partition from the Richmond, -Fredericksburg & Potomac Railroad for a maximum of three cent . intrastate passenger rate, the road's contention being that its purpose is not to get more-money from the traveling public, but to in sure for itself- a continuance of its proportion of three cents a mile on intrastate business. The case is similar to that of the Washington Southern Railway, which, with the R. F. & P. forms part of what is known as the Richmond-Washing ton Line, which asked for a three cent rate and was awarded a rate of 2 12 cents. The Washington Southern ap pealed and its case is set for a hear ing before the Supreme Court in March. u OUTLINES.

Jury Stood Eleven to One for Acquittal. Wheeling, W. Va., Jan. 26. After struggling for more than a day or 2t hours with the mass of technical and sensational testimony, the jury in the J case Qf Mrs. Laura Farnsworth L Schenk, charged with poisoning her husband, John O. Schenk, announced late today they were hopelessly divid ed; and could not reach a verdict. Judge L. S. Jordan immediately im portuned to further effort, but at 5:04 P. M. discharged them from the case and the long drawn out trial resulted in a disagreement. Tonight Mrs. Schenk. is again in jail despite her hopes that sba would be a free woman upon the verdict of the ury. The final votp tnkpn- hv the inrv after their long session stood eleven for acquittal and one for conviction. On the first ballot, taken within five minutes after tue jury retired at 3:56 Wednesday, eight voted for acquittal. hree for conviction and one Juryman refused to vote. ua tne second ballot there were nine for acquittal and three for con viction. From this status the number of those standing by. an acquittal ver dict was gradually worked up to elev- en,, one of the jurors, it is reported, coming ovor at the night session Wed nesday, while another . changed his opinion today. The juror who -held up hopes of a verdict was. Isaac Heyman, salesman for a local provision,-corn nj v, r turn., vuy,3THrx at" uiu ,-i accused was guilty, of the crime with which she was charged, and it was finally recognized that there was ab- solutely no chance for changing. the result. When the jury was brought into court at 5 o'clock Judge Jordan asked : Have you arrived at a verdict? "We have not," replied Foreman Philip Burke Is there any possibility of arriving at an agreement?" the judge asked There is not," was the emphatic answer. The jurymen were polled separate- ly, each giving as their opinion that a conclusion could not. be arrived at, and they were discharged The failure to arrive at a verdict opens up a world or possibilities While a new trial will be necessary. it is generally conceded that the task of selecting a jury will be most diffi- suit. Virtually all of wthe evidence in the possession of' either side has been brought .out, and there are few who have not formed an opinion. Mrs. Schenk was remanded, follow ing the disagreement. The amount of bond required to secure her liberty pending a second trial has not been determined upon, but will be fixed at once, J. J. P. O'Brien, chief counsel for Mrs. Schenk, said tonight: Tomor- row, before Judge Jordan, we Will ask that Mrs. SChenk be freed on her own recognizance. Failing in this, we will ask for a reduction in the bond from $10,000 to $5,000, and we shall then invite ten citizens to go on the bond, each for $500. "The first ten applying win.
