AFTER THE FIGHT
President Taft is the Chief
Beneficiary
Expected Opposition to the Tnft Pro.
gram Was Lost In the Shuffle In
surgents Who Voted to Keep Can-
non in the Chair Bitter Because He
Called Them Cowards.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.)
Washington,- March 21 Out of the
turmoil of the historic fight in the house
pgaliiHt Speaker Cannon, one fact
stands out todav:
The prime rcsiilt of the con tost, aside
from ousting the speaker from the rule
committee is to assure the carrying out
of the administration's plans. Presi
dent Tart Is the chief b'-neflciary. While
tho situation today is in a lluiil state
and regulars. Insurgents and demo
crats are preparing to reshape the af
fairs of the house, lioth factions of
the republican party declare that the
expected opposition to the Taft legis
lative program hits' been lost lit the
shuttle.
The Insurgent lenders today, declared
that they would he content to allow
the : regulars' to direct the course of
event.", their great victory over Cannon
satisfying them.
What -contests there are over the
Taft bills and there In certain to he
some opposition-will not be based mi
factional lines, but will be between men
who i personally differ over the treat
ment of the nation's vital problems.
The Insurgents are bitter over the
denunciation made by Speaker Cannon
after the battle In the "house, in which
he branded the men who voted to
keep him in the chair as "cowards."
Among many of the rebels there is
an inclination to resume the battle,
particularly as the vote by which Can
non was retained In power, by a ma
jority of 3G, is regarded by the radi
cals as a concession anil a tnvor,
brought ' about by the doi-ire to save
Uncle Joe" form personal humiliation.
There is every Indication today, how
ever, that the matter will be allowed
to rest where it Is.
There could be little possibility, in
deed, of any further action being taken
after the vote of confidence.
In the meantime the personnel of the
new rules committee is the most press,
lag matter in the house.
Although the members of the house
have been resting after the terrific
strain of the war on Cannon, many
conferences between leaders of both
factions have been held, and the prob
able, members of the new rules com
mlttee -are'already being picked.
The Wiseacres, although admitting
that it is early to make any definite
prediction, agree to a large extent on
choosintr Representative Dalzell, of
Pennsylvaniaclose friend of Cannon,
and Representative Smith of Iowa, to
keep their places on "the committee.
Champ Clark, the democratic leader,
Is also regarded as being likely to
retain his place. Another incumbent,
however, Representative Fitzgerald,
(democrat) of Brooklyn, is in doubt,
and a fight is expected before it will
be decided whether or not he retains
his position, ,
Smith; of Ohio, on the present com
mittee, is by many regarded as one of
the assured members of the enlarged
body. A tentative slate which has met
with much favor includes Mr. Olm
stead of Pennsylvania, Mr. Elllss of
Oregon, a regular of Rooseveltian in
clinations: Mr. McCall of Massachu
setts, and Mr. Gardner, of Massachu
setts, a mild insurgent. :
Besides Champ Clark, for the dem
ocrats, and Fitzgerald, who is now in
doubt, the democrats most talked of
for places on the committee-are Mr.
Underwood, of Alabama, and Mr.
Shirley of Kentucky. - Underwood is
Champ Clark's right hand man and
Shirley is one of the most prorhlnent
of the younger democrats in the
house.
The chairmanship of the committee
is most in doubt. Dalzell, if he gets
the honor, will have to win it in the
face of strong opposition from the in
surgents, it is expected. His relations
to Cannon are such that he is in little
favor with the radicals.
Mr. Smith of Iowa, Is also the ob
ject of tentative opposition as head of
the committee.
The chairmanship is now regarded as
a position of equal Importance with
tho speakership. The change in the
organisation of the house as made the
head of the rules committee a possible
dictator, to a certain extent, and In
view of many of to leaders, the posi
tion will ultimately be the center of
battling such as has gone on for three
years between the rebels and the speak

THE SAYLOR
Jury Will Probably Be Com
pleted Today
One of First Moves ol the Defense
Will be to IHsmltis the Charge of
Murder Against Mrs. Saylor and
Her Fatliei Were I nwillimt Wit
nesses to Tragedy.
(By Leased Wire to The Times.).
Watseka, Ills, March ; Following
the completion of a jury which 'wan ex
pected today from a new venue, a mo
tion to dismiss the charges ot com
plicity in the minder of Bunker- .1.
Byron Saylor, against Lucy Saylor, his
widow, and--.John G.runden. her tather,
will be one of the first moves ot the
defense. The action will be spread on
arguments that no evidence exists that
Mrs. Saylor and her lather were other
than unwilling witnesses to the slaying,
which, it is asserted grew out of an at
tack on Dr. W. R. Miller, whom .tile
banker found in his home.
Arrayed with the prosecution and de
manding that the trial he carried out
along the lines of the Indictment is
W. O. Saylor. brother of the murdered
man, who has placed his wealth at tin
disposal of ; the state In the case and
sworn vengeance.
But while, relatives of Banker Saylor
are determined that Mrs. Saylor be
punished, Golda Saylor, the daughter
of tho accused woman has made an
open plea in behalf of her mother.
While at first her attitude was doubt
ful, she now has come openly to the
aid Of her mother who is charged with
complicity in the slaying of her father.
Her appeal follows:
"I am writing an appeal to young
people who rend the newspapers on
behalf of my dear mother, whom 1 love
With my whole heart and soul.
"My eyes fill with tears as I write,
for always before me now is the detid
face of my deiir, good father, gone
from me never to return whose every'
thought was for my welfare and happi
ness.
"You girls who have fathers to love,
fathers to love you, thing what it would
mean If by some sudden, terrible stroke
the loving arm that now' t caress- you.
became motionless In death and the
kindly eyes ttat light at your approach
were closed forever.
"If you, can Imagine this dreadful
thing, then thiuH what It would mean
to have the mother torn from your
embrace and locked in prison. .
"My heart, my senses, my soul, tell
me that poor little mother, shut np
In prison to be tried for a crime, is
Innocent. I feel that I may without
offense ask sympathy of those who love
their ' fathers and mothers. I ask it
for my mother because she never de
