RAINEY WILL SHARE SPEAKER'S POWERS New House Chief Plans to Work With Steering Committee. __(Continued From First Page) the history of the Democratic party. We have a Steering Committee. Object of the committee is to keep the party together and not to attempt to put through any legislation unless our party has the votes to do it. “The Steering Committee assures solidarity of the party in support of President Roosevelt. I will support President Roosevelt to the limit. What- ever the Roosevelt program is we are going .to do that and no more. If necessary we will only organize com- mittees to deal with the program.” Regarded as a Liberal Rainey is regarced as a liberal. De- spite his years, he has shown vigor and fearlessness in his leadership. Fre- quently he has clashed with the con- servative lement ir his party. The Speaker's powers in reccnt years have given him wide authority in dic- tating policies and deciding the fate of legislation. There has been agita- tion for a Steering Committee made up of members from scattered sections of the country. The Republicans long have had such a committee. Rainey won with 166 votes, 15 more than a majority of the 301 present. Representative McDuffie, the party whip, received 112; Rankin, 20; Jones, and Bankhead., 1. Byrns received 151 votes for the fioor leadership to 140 for Representative Bankhead of Ala-: bama. Rainey's nomination on the first bal- lot was brought about when Byrns and Crosser of Ohio withdrew from the race, and Cullen of New York threw the full weight of his big Tammany delegation to the Illinois veteran. Representative Crump, Tennessee Democratic leader, was given credit for engineering the shift that threw the votes of the other candidates to Rainey. Tammany, which had been waiting to jump on the bandwagon, acted at the last moment. Texas Backed Rainey. Rainey also received unexpected sup- port from a group of Texas members, rounded up by Representative Bi chanan, who will succeed Byrns as chairman of the powerful Appropria- tions Committee. Rainey’s victory places the control of the House under the Liberal element. McRuffie, reported to have been su ported by Speaker Garner, was re- garded as a conservative. Many of the 127 new members-elect, most of whom are labeled as liberals, threw their support to the Illinois veteran. The Democrats met behind closed doors at 4 o'clock. Rainey's strength was indicated when Lea of California was elected chairman of the caucus, Gregory of Kentucky zecretary, and Jed Johnson of Oklahoma assistant secre- tary. Byrns placed Rainey in nomi- nation and Crosser and Cullen sec- onded the nomination. Bankhead nom- inated McDuffie and Connery of Mas- sachusetts spoke for the Alabaman. Doxey of Mississippi nominated Rankin. Immediately after the announcement of the vote by Lea, the Democrats ap- plauded. and McDuffie and Rankin made speeches pledging their loyalty to the new leadership. Election Is Assured. The Demccrats have nearly 200 more members in the new House than the | Republicans, so the election of Rainey over the Republican speakership nomi- nee, Representative Snell of New York, is assured. The Republicans have 117 members in the next House. A committee of five is to be appointed to draft a plan for the creation of the Steering Committee, and it will be con- | sidered at a caucus before the special session of the new Congress. At that | time vacancies on the Ways and Means Committee also will be filled. The Democrats will be called into caucus by Reprecentative Lea, the cau- cus chairman, as soon as it is learned when the special session will be called. Service Broken in 1920. The huge, white-topped figure of Rainey has been a familiar sight in the House almost continuously since 1903. His service was interrupted by the Harding landslide of 1920, but he SPECIAL NOTICES.

Garner, acts as her husband’s secretary. Below the new Speaker is shown in a charac- teristic pose with the gavel he is soon to wield. came right back and forged his way to the Speakership. = Calm and soft-spoken when in a pipe-smoking, conversational mood off | the floor, the gentleman from Illinois | is a rough-and-ready fighter in legisla- tive debate. | He is the first resident of Illinois to | hold the Speakership since the colm’!u]‘ “Uncle” Joe Cannon presided over the House. He comes from a district once represented by Abraham Lincoln, and, before Lincoln, by Stephen A. Douglas. | With this traditional background as an Inspiration, his friends predict he will | g:z to the glory of an already famous | e. | Rainey is a farmer and a lawyer. His | farm at Carroliton, Ill., really should be | called by some more dignified name. It | is not a “dirt” ranch of ordinary type, | but a gentleman’s country estate of some 500 acres. It is electrically op- | erated for the most part. The cows— and his herd is one of the best in the State—are watered, milked and curried by electricity. Besides the cows he has a fine herd of deer, bred for commer- cial purposes, and hundreds of Hamp- shire hogs. Flag Pole in Yard. | There is an 80-foot flag pole in front ! of the Rainey homestead. When the | flag is flying it is a signal to all that the Raineys are at home and ready to receive any of their friends who wish to call. The home contains 24 rcoms.l and is furnished with antique furniture | collected by Mrs. Rainey. Among his- | toric pieces are a chair and desk used by Jefferson Davis when he was in the United States Senate; a piece of furni- ture that once belonged to the Wash- ington family, and several articles from the home of Gen. Francis Marion, “swamp fox” of the Revolutionary War. Although the Raineys have no chil- | dren of their own, their place is a veri- | table playground for youngsters of the | community. They make free use of his swimming and wading pools; of his | artificial lake stocked with fish, and of | a club house which he erected in the | 1 Girl Scouts. Despite his 72 years of active life he | retains the vigorous physique which | won for him many athletic honors in his younger days. At Ambherst College | he ‘won the intercollegiate 100-yard dash in the record time for that period | of 10!} seconds, and this was achieved | by a frame that weighted upward of | 200 pounds. Boxing, a major intercol- | legiate sport in those days, also called | him to the fore, and he proceeded to | become a National star by annexing the | intercollegiate heavyweight boxing| championship. Admitted to Bar. After his graduation from Amherst in 1883, Rainey married his pre-college sweetheart of Knox College. Mrs. | Rainey has been his inseparable com- | panion throughout his public career, | | presiding over his office at the Capitol. | ! Two years later he received his law de- gree from the Union College of Law, in Chicago, and was admitted to the bar. | He practiced law in Carrollton for | 15 years before he was elected to Con- | gress. It -was during his early service in the House that he first attracted { pational attention on the tariff battle i front, where he has always been con- ! spicuous. Rainey is credifed with hav- ing made the tariff a national issue as ;| the outgrowth of a dramatic speech Ylin which he chargsd that American | watches could be bought for less abroad than in this country. The “watch” | speech created Nation-wide contro- | versy and ended in the Democratic | Underwood bill of 1913. De:ply interested in the unemploy- | ,ment problem, Rainey believes that | much of the troubles of labor arise from co-called technological unem- ; ployment—the displacement of men by | machines. While he does not favor | a return of the age of manual labor | | in order to provide more work, he has| | expressed the opinion that employers | sheuld use some of the savings effected by machinery in providing for the wel- | fare of the employe who faces unem- ployment by reason of new inventions. | Favors Soviet l\ccornmon‘ He repeatedly has urged resumption of trade with Russia, A visit to that | | country in unofficial capacity two| vears ago carried him into remote | parts of the Soviet Union and con-| vinced him that America is shutting out a profitable customer by her policy of non-recognition of Russia. | Rainey smilingly recalls a contro- versy which he had with President Theodore Roosevelt over the method of acquiring the Panama Canal Zone. He made a number of vitriolic speeches in condemnation of the Roosevelt plans. His charges were denied by the President, and, Rainey said re- cently, “I had the honor of being made the last member of Roosevelt’s famous Ananias Club—however, my charges | were substantiated when the Demo- | crats came into power.” | | It was Rainey who took the floor on the opening day of the past Con- | gress to offer the Garner prohibition ! resolution. Grandfather Fought Indians. Rainey comes of sturdy pioneering forbears. His grandfather, moving into the Illinois wilderness from Ken- tucky in 1804, engaged in battles with | the Indians before he succeeded in founding the first homestead in Greene County. The original farm site long since has been developed into town property. Like his father before him, Rainey was born on part of the old homestead at Carrollton. He learned about farming as a boy. He walked four miles to school, often through drifted snow, and then per- formed a host of farm chores before bedtime. He kept his husky frame in ;‘n:n by pitching hay in the broad elds. Although he does not have the op- portunity now to exercise in the old- fashioned agricultural way, he keeps his muscles in good shape by swinging Indian clubs and by walking frequently i to Capitol Hill from his home. He resides at 2001 Sixteenth street. STAMPS. HOBBY SHOP. e, siam Hobby Shop, 716 17th n.w. Feed and Fuel to Be Made.

Van Doren, supervising agent of customs of the port of New York, was announced at tne customs office’ here. Van Doran died in St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, Eliza- beth, N. J., of heart disease.

Before becoming supervising agent in New York, Van Doren was director of customs in Washington, D. C.,.in charge of the special agency service, to which he was appointed on February 1, 1922. | Funeral services will be held Sunday from his home, 33 Grove street, Cran- ford, N. J.

Mr. Vin Doren entered the Govern- ment service as a messenger boy in the United States Geological Survey, rising through ranks to the important post of supervising customs agent of the second customs agency, with district headquarters at New York City, which position he occupied at the time of his death, During the war he was chief field in- vestigator with the aircraft protective service, assigned to duty at the Wright- Martin' factory. He returned to the customs service after the war. —_— PRAGUE RIOT FATAL One Dead and 96 Arrested in “Red Day” Demonstration. PRAGUE, ' Czechoslovakia,” March 3 (#).—One person was killed and 96 were arrested yesterday when the government repulsed a Communist attempt to stage a nation-wide “‘red day.” The Communists planned to concen- trate unemployed in all important cities for so-called hunger marches. The au- thorities dispersed the crowds without difficulty except in Volovec, where the demonstrators attacked the gendarmes, injuring three of them after six of the leaders of the crowd had been arrested. The gendarmes resorted to firearms, killing one person. Marlboro Marriage Licenses. UPPER MARLBORO, Md.,, March 3 (Special).—Marriage licenses were is- sued here yesterday to Robert K.

After a conference with President- elect Roosevelt this afternoon, members of the family of Senator Thomas J. Walsh announced arrangements were being made for a state funeral Monday at the Capitol. After the services there, the body of Senator Walsh, who died early yes- terday aboard s train in North Caro- lina while on his way here with his bride, will be taken to Helena, Mont., for burial. Services will be held from St. Helena’s Cathedral there, and the Senator will be buried in the family lot in Helena beside the grave of his first wife, Mrs. Eleanor C. Walsh, who died in 1917 John Walsh, a brother of the late Attorney General-designate, said ar- rangements for the state funeral here Monday were tentative and that nothing definite would be decided upon until the sergeant at arms of the Senate could be consulted. It was not known whether the body would lie in state in the Senate chamber or in some other part of the Capitol. Roosevelt Is Caller. Mr. Walsh said President-elect Roose- velt had expressed a desire to attend the funeral, and that the services prob- ably would be held in the forenoon Monday to accommcdate him. The body will leave Washington late Mon- day for Helena, probably arriving there early Thursday. ‘The time of the services in Senator ‘Walsh's home city will depend upon the arrival of the party from Wash- ington. Mr. Walsh said this party would consist of members of the im- mediate family and probably a dele- gation from the Senate. The_President-elect, accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt and their son James, arrived at the Crescent Apartments, where Senator Walsh made his home, shortly before 1 o'clock. They re- mained about 20 minutes. Mr. Walsh sald the call was entirely informal, such as one neighbor would pay to| another under the circumstances. velt and appeared comforted by their | visit. The widow, he told reporters, still was very much upset, but ap- | peared in better condition than when she arrived last night. Friends View Body. In a flower-banked room in his apartment, at 1661 Crescent place, the body of the Senator rested today while friends, high and low, came to pay thelr respects to the memory of th: man they had honored and loved. Overcome with the grief and shock of her husband’s sudden death, Mrs. Walsh was confined to another room in the apartment under a physician's | care. She suffered a slight heart at- tack yesterday, but physicians said her | condition was mnot serious. They em- phasized, however. her need of com- plete rest and quiet. Throughout the city. the death of | the distinguished Senator had cast its | shadow across the gay pageant planned | for the induction of a new President. Mrs. Roosevelt announced she would | not attend any social functions ar- ranged for the inauguration of her husband, including the inaugural bail and the inaugural concert tonight. She will, however, keep engagements of a strictly official character.

Noting news photographers snapping :erd picture, she slightly bowed her ead. However, the widow again became hysterical when she walked down the narrow Pullman aisle to the drawing room reserved for her. Some eight hours earlier in a similar drawing room she had awakened to find her husband ! dying on the floor. He succumbed most while she and a colored porter were lifting his body into_ the berth. For a few moments Mrs. Walsh con- tinued in. a highly nervous condition, as Dr. Pittman bade her farewell, but shortly after the train left Rocky Mount she became quiet. Her rest was disturbed by sick spells. She had re- tired to bed. Capt. Gudger went ahead of the train to Washington by airplane to make ar- rangements for the reception of the body there.
