The amnouncement that a second set of papers were served on Paulhan just as he was leaving New York yesterday has given rise to a fear that he and the other aviators may be restrained from making flights in Los Angeles. The serving of this second set of /pa- pers on the French aviator followed the receipt of news from Buffalo that the United States Circuit Court there had granted an injunction restraining Glenn H, Curtiss from flying on the coast. be swerved from the course of stpport- ing these reforms by the withholding of any official patronage by anybody or be induced to support this or ‘that ‘prop- osition by the offering of official sop of any kind. We are itted to the principles which I have enumerated be- cause we believe they are right and not because the President or anybody else is for or against them. “Tt is not the insurgents of the House, but men like Aldrich and Cannon whom the President wil] have to induce to support his policies. The insurgents’ are for them already and have been all the time.” Representative Norris of Nebraska added his approval of this declaration, as did Representative Hayes of Califor- nia, who sald his fight was solely against the rules of the House and its present organization. On the latter proposition, said Hayés, he was ready to fight to the finish. It was the inde- pendence of the representative in Con- gress which he was contending for, ne said. The ineoraente are discussing the de- sirability of holding an early meeting and ascertaining from President Taft, where they stand. a cs ae blockade of the river will occur ff the, weather turns colder. In South 8t. Louis the river is im- passable, and it is feared that the ferry- boats at Sidney and Davis streets will be blocked until spring. Acute~ wire “trouble” was reported Wednesday on the raliroad and com- mercial lines of both telegraph compa- | nies. At Union Station some trains due between 7and 8a. m. had not been even heard from at 10, and the train dis- patchers were thoroughly “up in the air.” Long distance telephone service | also suffered great interference. The United Railways Co. set itself up as a rival to its sister corporation, the Union Electric Co., during Tuesday night’s sleet storm, and went to lighting up the city. ‘ Its work was brilliant while it lasted, and it lasted several hours. Even the new are light clusters on Broadway were a mere glimmer beside the trolley illumination. It was the World's Fair over again, distributed all over St. Louls. As the overhead wires became coat- ed with the frozen rain, the trolley poles became like blazing torches, and the sputtering sparks were 80 continu- ous as to form a. sheet of blue-and white light on all the main traveled

By Associated Press, WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.—With amaze- ment in some cases bordering on anger, the insurgent Republican members of the House. today read the Published re- ports that they were to be singled out by the administration for punishment for their “rebeliious conduct” as mem- bers of the majority party of the House. The information was that Federal ap- pointments advocated by them were to be Hteld up until they fell into line. Several of them were unsparing in their denunciation of a policy which sought ‘to punish a man for indepen- dence of thought and action, as they ex- pressed it. Not a few were loath to be- lieve that President Taft would lend his aid to an effort to administer castiga- tion to them for supporting the very principles and. policies for which they claimed the party itself stood pledged. Insurgents F'avor Reforma. Representative Madison of Kansas ex- pressed a view of the matter to which several of his associates subscribed. He said: “We insurgents, as we are called, are not against Taft or his policies.
