(By William K. Hutchinson) (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—A break in the senate deadlock over the election of a chairman for the interstate commerce committee appeared possible today from peace negotiations launched by the insurgent group of progressives. The insurgents were reported willing to compromise their fight against Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, for the election of Senator James B. Couzens, Republican of Michigan, to the chairmanship. This offer was being considered by Republican leaders. If the offer is rejected, the progressives say they will vote solidly for Senator Ellison D. Smith of South Carolina, a Democrat, thus insuring his election and giving control of railroad legislation to the Democratic. The insurgents were said to have dropped Senator Robert M. LaPollette, of Wis., their original candidate, only when they became certain he could not be elected. The offer to support Couzens was determined upon in the hope of keeping the Republicans in power while insuring the selection of a "liberal" to head the interstate commerce committee. While some Republican senators soffed at the offer, administration leaders were known to be giving it serious consideration. As a youth, his friends pointed out, Couzens worked as a car checker, swichman and roundhouse employee in railroad yards. WOMAN MINISTER AIDS HURTS OF BODY AND SOUL Rev. Maude Hovle The Rev.

REBELS ACTIVE HERE ANGELES, Dec. 14.—Athave already been made Leave Husband's Tombstones On Car NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—Women are more forgetful than men. Prove it? Simple. Just ask Edward J. Brill. Brill is the party to whom all articles lost by the 2,491,209,810 persons who annually ride on New York's subways and elevated lines eventually come. But let Brill tell his own story: "Psychanalysis might solve the complex of the New York straphanger—that is, a Freud might. "For Gothamites, Brooklynites, and other members of the army of 7,500,000 daily passengers who drop their nickels into transit fare boxes do things almost beyond belief. "The subway has two perfectly good tombstones—left on trains by women passengers. Believe it or not, it's a fact. Both are inscribed in loving memory of a husband who but recently passed away. From the stations at which the tombstones were found, abandoned in a subway train, it is clear the widows were carrying them to a graveyard, supposedly to have them set up as markers of their dear departed's graves."

ESCAPES JAIL BUT GETS HEAVY FINE HAVE NO FEARS OF MEX. POLITICIANS MEXICO CITY, Dec. 14.—Despite the fact that this old stamping ground of the ancient Aztecs has galained for itself the reputation as the "original rumor factory" as a result of the campaign now being waged for the presidency of the republic, the people hereabouts are not in the least disturbed over the future political complexion of the country. Pomp and ceremony, the exotic atmosphere of this ancient pueblo, together with the smiles of the entrancing senoritas, show no signs of distress over the report that Mexico is about to be junked by the partisans of the presidential candidates, who are continually "shooting off their mouths" and firing their rifles indiscriminately, after which an occasional corpse is left on the sidewalks. As one politician of the old Diaz regime put it while discussing the present political situation: "The higher the power of effervescence in some lines of bottled goods, the more quickly the liquid stales, if it is not consumed." And herein lies a moral. The national elections of Mexico are set for the first Sunday of next July. A long way off. There is no human possibility that the present speed of ninety miles an hour can be maintained. It taxes credulity to believe that the gas will hold out. REED FLAYS U. S. COMMISSION PLAN ST.
