It had been planned to have a re- publican conference February 28 to nominate a candidate for Speaker and to elect a floor leader, whip and com- mi¥2ee on committees, but opposition by a numbep of western members caused a change In this program. Thus far no candidate has come forward in opposition to Speaker Gil- lett, and his renomination is forecast. Representatives Longworth of Ohio and Graham of Illinois are the active candidates for the floor leaderships. Organization of the democratic ma- jority also will be put over until just before the first session. The ge: eral belief is that Representative Gar- rett of Tennessee will be selected floor leader, and Representative Oldfield of Arkansas re-elected party whip, Mr. Garrett has been the acting leader since Representative Kitchin of North Carolina was taken ill two years ago. Democratic leaders are preparing to ask for a considerably increased representation on all the regular com- mittees over what they have at this session, basing thelr claim on the re- duction of the republican majority in the House from 168 to 18. Re- | publican leaders say some inerease will be made, but indicate that it will not be as large as the minority will ask. The democrats are particularly interested in the selection of the powerful ways and means committee and will seek an fincrease in their membership from eight to eleven.

Asylum Fire Declaring himseif to be a fugitive patient from the burning insane hos- pital on Ward's Island, N Y., where twenty-five lives were lost several days ago, a young man giving his name as William G. Brent, his agé as twenty-two vears and his former ad- dress as Evansville, Ind., was arrest- d in this city yesterday and was taken to Gallinger Hospital for detention and observation as to his mental condition. The young man was found in an alley near 10th and G streets by Po- liceman G. R. R. Browning of the first precinct, and taken to the police sta- tion. Sammy Brent was the name he first gave, later changing it to William G. Brent. ‘Wound on Head. His halr had been hacked and there was a wound on the side of his head that evidently had been inflicted the past few da. Old wounds in his legs and scalps convinced Precinct Detective Wilson that his statement that he was a shell-shocked overseas vetepan was true. Brent admitted having cut his own hair with a pair of scissors after he had been injured at the fire, He-said he beat his way to this city on a train. Discussing the fire, Brent sald many of the patlents fought the firemen because they thought the lat- ter were .there to attack and harm them, not being able to realize they were trying to render assistance. Tells of Robbers. Concluding there was something wrong with the young man, Wilson put another man in the cell with him and listened to their conversation. He said he heard Brent tell of how he robbed a safe in Jacksonville, Fla., of $15,000, and one in Norfolk of $10,000, telling his cellmate that much of it was buried, and that he would get it when the authorities released him. Brent's case was referred to Sani- tary Officer Phillips, who heard De- tective Wilson's story of his conduct in_the police station. He seemed to talk rationally on some subjects and {rrationally on others, the detective stated. Authorities of the burned hos- pital_will be communicated with in an effort to identify the prisoner pa- tient.
