LIST OF UNPLEDGED
MEMBERS REDUCED
Leadership of .the Antl-Hanua Side
Is. Conceded to Cox on His Arri
val Developments Indicate That
Congressman Taylor Will Be an
, Opponent of Congressman Dick for
the Next Kepublican Gubernatorial
Nomination.
By i:clirde Wire from The Associated Press.
Columbus, O., Jan. 2 Tin contest
, between Republican factions over the
organization of the legislature Is still
In doubt, us fur us the house Is con
cerned. The clnlitis of. either fnctlon
would Indicate that one element Is con
fident that Price will win easily, the
other confident of McKlnnon winning,
hut the efforts of both show that there
are yet "votes to set" by the one who
is to become sneaker. The list of un
pledged members has, however, been
reduced today to u half-dozen Crist,
Tool, McNeil, Nlhart, Foster and Eoch
ery. This does not, Include many who
ire said to have pledged themselves,
synie in writing, to both sides. These
six are said to have made no pledged
to t'lther side, and it Is conceded that
they hold the balance of power.
Owlnc to the confusion over lists,
there Is talk of a "round robin." There
.re five HstK: "Those pledged to Price,"
"those pledged to McKlnnon," "those
pledged to both," "those Hi 111 un
pledged," "those listed as doubtful,"
which list includes those pledged to
both, as well as those who are un
pledged. If the caucus shall nominate by secret
Fallot, ilium will be no way of vcrl ly
ing these llHts, even after the caucuses
arc held, and for that reason viva voce
voting In caucus is, being advocated.
, There was much dtWio from the homes
of Senntor Himim, in Washington; Ken
ator Korakor, inClnclnnati: Congress
man Dick, in Akr'in: Congressman Tay
lor. In Columbus, and others, and rs
V'H'lally at Toledo, where Heprcsenta
ivc Dennian is still considered by sonic
as doubtful. Thee was much com
liuinicallou with all the counties in
which doubtful members reside.
The most prominent arrival was that
of fiecirgn B. Cox, the Cincinnati lead
er, who iiislsls lliat he is "as good a
friend of Senator llanna as ever" but
that he was pledged lo Price for
speaker before the Junior Ohio sena
tor broke with Price and that he Is
here now to do all he can for Price and
includes the support of candidates for
clerk and other places who can bring
strength lo Price.
Cox Leads Anti-Hannaites.
The leadership of the antl-IIanna
side was conceded to Cox on his ar
rival. It is claimed that the developments
today Indicate that Congressman Tay
lor of the old .McICInley district will
likely ! an opponent of Congressman
Pick for the next Kepublican guber
natorial nomination, that Taylor from
his home is working as hard for Price
as Dick Is working for jMcKIiuioii.
The lines have been distinctly drawn
on the old tiuestlou of local option.
The liquor associations have represen
tatives here for Price and the Ohio
.Anli-Sulnou League for AlcKinnon. In
the last legislature Price opposed the
Clark local option bill and McKlnnon
supported it, but there are some who
toted for the Clink bill who are now
supporting Price and some who op
posed H who favor McKlnnon just as
sumo of Ilanna's close friends are for
Price for local and personal reasons,
and somo of Koruker's to McKlnnon,
while the senior senator himself Is ac
tively for Prince and the junior for Mc
Klnnon, Although Senator Wort Is said to
still be In the contest for president
pro loin and Mr. Chi for chief clerk
of tlm senate there does not seem to
he formidable opposition to Archer and
Fcobey for these positions, The senato
standing committees are selected by
the senators themselves and the house
committees are all named by the
speaker and. It Is for the control of that
ofllco that the factions are lighting.

CLEVELAND BANKERS
CONTROL TROLLEYS
A Committee Takes Charge of tlio
Interests of the Everett-Moore
Syndicate.
By KxcliiMrc Wire fiom The Associated 1'ic.H.
Cleveland, O., Jan. 2. A committee of
Cleveland bankers has taken charge of
the various properties controlled by the
ICverett-Moore syndicate.
The Kverett-Moore syndicate own or
control many trolley and telephone
lines throughout Ohio and Michigan.
Following are the more important
street car companies:
The Cleveland Electric Hallway com
pany, the Detroit United ltuiltvny com
pany, the Cleveland, Painesvlllo and
Eastern Railroad company, the Detroit
and Toledo Shore Line Railroad com
pany, and thc'Lake Shore Electric Rail
road comnnnv and the Northern Ohio
Traction company.
The committee sav that all these
properties were found, hardly without
exception, in good condition,, perfectly
solvent and in nowise embarrassed.
Among the telephone properties are
the United States Lonjr Distance Tele
phone company, the Cuyahoga Tele
phone company of Cleveland, the Stark
(Ohio) Telephone company, the Peo
ple's Telephone company of Detroit,
and numerous others.
It is stutd that the aggregate capi
talization of all the Hvcretl-iMnorc com
panies In not less than 12.",000,PUO.
A statement issued by the committee,
says, In part:
"It became apparent some time
ago to some of the members of
the Everett-Moore syndicate, so-called,
Unit on account of the tight money sit
uation In" the different centers where
they are financing' Some oC -tlnjlr en
terprises, that although In their opin
ion they owned several million dollars'
worth of property over and above their
liabilities that they would be unable
without temporary assistance lo meet
their obligations which were about to
become due and the obligations of
some of the corporations which weie
controlled by them. Many of these ob
ligations arose from the fact that the
syndicate who engaged in the con
struction of enterprises which were
not yet completed had largo amounts
of money to pay for labor and mate
rials in the construction. The syndi
cate were also recently disappointed In
being unable to complete the negotia
tions for the raising of a large sum of
money upon certain bonds and stocks
belonging to them which would have
furnished them with ready funds, anil
which negotiations they had reason to
believe, until ten days ago, would re
sult favorably.
Some of the members of this syudcale,
when it became apparent to them that
many of their liabilities which were
coming due about the llrst of January
could not be met, called together some
of their personal advisers to advise,
with them as lo what was best to be
done.
These gentlemen examined very full;
into all of the affairs of those conipns'
iug the syndicate and were furnished
with very full and complete Informa
tion. They found further from their
investigations that in the telephone sit
uation, while among Us different elo
meats it luid many companies that hai
fully completed their equipment anc
were on a paying basis, that there were
others that needed material nsKlstance.
They also found that so for as the per.
sonal ulfulrs of the members of the syn
dicate were concerned that their
equities were In their opinion largely li
excess of their liabilities and that in
their Judgment all of the personal cred
itors could lie paid without doubt from
the assets.

NO DIPLOMATIC DISCOURTESY.
Reason for Lady Pauncefote Head

By Exclusive Wire (join Hie Aenoclatcd 1'rcM.
Washington, Jan. 2. A misunder
standing which Is particularly annoy
ing to the oillcltiis who were at the
white house reception, appears to have
arisen from the fact that Lady Paunce
fote, the wife of the British ambassa
doi, with the embassy staff, held the
place of honor at the head of the dip
lomatic line as the reception began on
New Year's day. The rule In such
cases Is clear and well established In
precedents, namely, that the ambassa
dor present longest In continuous ser
vice at the capital shall head the lino.
It was through an act of gallantry on
the part of the German ambassador
himself that this rule was not applied
yesterday.
Lady Pauncefote Informed the Ger
man ambassador of her husband's Ill
ness nnd of her recognition of the fact
that he, Herr von llolleben, was foi
the day dean of the diplomatic body
The ambassador declined, however, tc
"take advantage of his position, and
himself assigned to Lndy Pauncefote
the place she occupied at the head of
the line with the embassy staff.
