Marshal mildt was present when the records Ire taken from the vault and placed the taxlcabs, and though Hockln Is not seen during the transfer, he is )wn to have been in the 'office at the lie and to have been cognizant, if he not assist In the work. that Hockln was In tbcefflces at the lie and that be was 'the man who altted the searchers was learned Im the same source. It has developed that 'the negotla- ins whlcfi have 'been made with Ickln were without 'knowledge of strict Attorney Miller. This was ae because the 'district attorney roughoat the case 'has shown no dls- pition to lend a fctndly ear to any kgestions of Immunity to any one. Ith this attitude 'df the district at- Iney known, negotiations were han d with the Ironworkers' official In a y that -would hcep the district attor- absolutely 'free from any sugges that "immtmity" or "light penal ' would 'bo promised for services hdered by any one connected with ironworkers. search Is being made for Harry Iderwood, .Che Ironworker who made davit that ho placed the explosive 3er the new French Llcle hotel after visit of Hockln to French Lick, at icli time 'ho Is said to have threat- pd trouble If union labor men were substituted for nonunion men em- lycd on the building.

Stetson, the attorney who was Instrumental in organizing 'the steel trust, gave his views mi tin' trust question. He believed business conditions In this country would turn- been better had the Sherman law nevi-i been enacted. To abolish It now. how- over, would be unwise, as the law was sustained In 'the 'public mind, and to attack It would cause the people to lose confidence in their legislators. It was founded, however, on n economic error. He said: "For the protection of tho public In vesting tn securities the proposed cor poration 'commission should have power to make but not to revoke a declara tion as Ho the innocuonsncss of any cor poration hereafter formed In Its organ ization -or In the acqulstlon of proper ties substituting part of its capltac stocfc, and no prosecution or dissolution of 5the corporation ifor any matter cov ered 'by such declaration should be por mltted after a period to bo prescribod laiihe act" Predicted Fight on President For Ro nomination by Indiana Committee man Ends In Gossip, and Under current For Roosevelt Is Side tracked For the Present. :PAV0R INSURANCE TiTTX.

Lord Lansdowne disclaimed 'TJulon 1st hostility to the principle, tout criti cised tho precipitation with Which the bill bad been brought to the .attention of the house. He feared that tho cost, like that nf old age pensions, 'had been underestimated. He concluded by say- ting that acceptance was the wiser course and refused to take part In a sham attempt to revise the bill. Washington, Dec. 12. The expected tow in today's meeting of the Ilepub 'lean national committee was averted At a late hour last night. A compro mise with the Harry New crowd from Indiana was effected, and things me now certain to follow n program to which there will be no objections. The undercurrent demand for tin nomination of Colonel Roosevelt In June nt the Chicago convention ap pears to have been nipped, ond unless later developments arise President Taft will be renominated without opposl tlon. For awhile the Taft follower were alarmed over the turn the Indiana committeemen hod token and also fear ed n fight In Ohio, which now appears to have blown up with Uttlo or no stnoUe. For nwhllo Mr. Taft found himself drawn Into a war between Postmaster General Hitchcock, former national chairman, and Harry New, committee man from Indiana. Tho new people accused Hitchcock of attempting to prevent the naming of New as chair man of the arrangements committee. which names the temporary officers of. the national convention. Mr. Now understood that he had thu backing of Mr. Taft for this place, and the fight precipitated against him has created nn 'ugly situation. The Roosevelt sentiment among ua tlonal "committeemen Is not confined to enemies 'Of the president. Many of the Republican leaders who profess to be President Tnft's friends and support era 'declare that Roosevelt Is tho only Republican who has a chance ef lead 3ng 'the party to victory. The threatened fight In Otito against Tresldent Taft's renomlrtatlon Is based 'on the proposal to elect the delegates at largo of that state to iho national convention by a presidential preference 'primary. Walter Brown, 'chairman of the Ohio state central committee, ad vocated such a course Inra public state ment several days ago, 'declaring that, In his opinion, such a iprlmary would show that Colonel Utoosevelt is the choice of tbe Republicans of Ohio. Charles D. Hllles, secretary to the president. Is standing by New, whiles Frank H. HltchooCt, Mr. Taft's post master general, is -supposed to be lend ing support to former Governor John Hill of Maine, the present acting chair man of tho national committee, and others who arc leading the fight against New. Repeated attempts to settle the matter have been made, but things are still in the air, with tho prospects of what promises t be a fairly tame meeting of the national committee de veloping a row. i $ HENRY T.
