G.O.P. SPLIT IN CONGRESS LIKELY By William K. Hutchinson (I. N. S. Stair Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. Threats of a republican split in congress, that ultimately would defeat the administration's entire legislative program rumbled thru the capitol today while majority leaders anxiously sought means of restoring party harmony. The legislative situation was anxious, republican leaders admitted, because of the bitterness among progressive insurgents in the senate, who bolted the party to vote for a Democrat in the election of a chairman for the senate interstate commerce committee. This little group of senate insurgents—seven in number, had forced a two day vacation, were threatening to permanently bolt the party, had tied all legislation and aroused endless concern among administration leaders. Their immediate clash with the regular Republicans has deadlocked for three days the election of the committee chairman, to which Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, president pro tem of the senate, aspired. The insurgents, however, opposed Cummins and while voting at first for Senator LaFollette, Republican of Wisconsin, their leader, later switched to Senator Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, a Democrat. Smith failed of election by a single vote. House insurgents, led by Representative John Nelson, Republican of Wisconsin, added further troubles to the Republican leadership. The Nelson group, which deadlocked the house in its election of a speaker last week, planned a new rebellion directed against the distribution of committee assignments. The senate revolt, however, caused administration leaders the most alarm. All offers of compromise have so far been rejected by the insurgents who were reported to have opened negotiations with the senate Democrats for a coalition to overthrow the Republican leadership. The Democrats were said to be "listening" to the offer. HELD FOR MURDER OF AGED MOTHER CHICAGO, Dec. 13.—William Sotek was held in the Englewood police station today following the fatal shooting of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Sotek, 60. Police said oStek shot his mother because he resented her request that he and his wife find another place to live. GERMANY ANXIOUS FOR NEW CONFAB BERLIN, Dec. 13.—Germany will ask the interalied reparations commission to resume negotiations regarding payments, meanwhile asserting that passive resistance in the Ruhr has been completely abandoned, it was announced today. A free people, apparently, is one that breaks its own laws instead of a monarch's. The latter course, it was pointed out, would drive the insurgents into the Democratic camp, sweep the Republicans out of power and turn the Democrats into control of the senate. Such a procedure, of course, would spell defeat for the administration's legislative program. The progressives maintained a united front, merely announcing that there were no indications of a change in their plans. Leaders of the two factions have until Monday to settle their differences, because an agreement was reached postponing further voting upon the chairmanship until then. Rumors were current this morning that the first ballot on Monday would result in the election of Smith, the Democratic candidate, thru additional votes from the insurgent camp. His election yesterday was prevented because Senators Howell and Norris, Republicans of Nebraska, continued to vote for LaFollette. A new offer of compromise, it was said, was being prepared by administration leaders. This was said to include the elimination of Cummins and the substitution of another Republican acceptable to the insurgents as the candidate for the regulars. NO OPPOSITION TO NEW STREETS Not only have all the rights way at the Anaheim end of the proposed new road to Fullerton been obtained, according to D. A. Singleton, one of the leaders in the project, but it is doubtful whether there will be any sustained opposition at the Fullerton end. Adolph T. Hammerschmidt or East Orangesthorpe-ave, owns only remaining rights of way required and he hasn't even been approached yet, so far as Singleton knows. The rights of wam Hammerschmidt possesses complete only a narrow strip anyhow. The jog which would exist in North Lemon street, Anaheim and Harvard-ave., Fullerton, were each extended in a straight line will be changed into a curve of directions will be altered slightly to overcome it. Singleton averred. This jog, even if it existed in the new road, would amount to only 20 feet from one piece to the other. City Engineer William Recorner was quoted by Singleton as saying that Hammerschmidt's property would not be accepted for subdivision purposes unless he consented to the new road. Singleton is one of a group of ranchers at the Anaheim end of the proposed road who purchased the Porter place in order to complete the rights of way obtained.

Republican leaders meanwhile held a series of conference to determine whether they would concede all Democrats or wage a war against the insurgents to the finish. election of Smith, the Democratic candidate, thru additional vote from the insurgent camp. His election yesterday was prevented because Senators Howell and Norris, Republicans of Nebraska, continued to vote for La Follette.

This was said to include the elimination of Cummins and the substitution of another Republican, acceptable to the insurgents as the candidate for the regulars. The names of Senators Watson of Indiana; McLean of Corn., and Fernald, of Maine, were mentioned. This plan appeared to be the one ray of hope for a peaceful settlement. CALIF. HOTEL. FULLERTON A. J.
