THE BEE: PO 0PGSO P OG0T OGO FoF oI T 000 S0 oo 0oL ‘Samepeck Clothes” There is something characteristic of vig- orous young manhood about “Sampeck Clothes” that appeals very strongly to the Write for Style Book.

Always there was the bone of con- tention between the two opposing sides over which they fought and wrangled flercely, but for hours at a time the scene took on the aspect of a comic opera and laughter and applause filled the house. ‘What of the result? The unusual and al- most explicitible ending caused a thou- sand questions as to the meaning of the armistice. Did it mean that the regulars had won over enough of the Insurgents to obtain & truce in the fight and time enough to rally their forces and form some new plan of action, or were both sides weary and worn to the limit of physical ex- haustion and glad of an opportunity to de- fer the flnal struggle for a few hours and glve all a chance to freshen themselyes tor t? “We have lost nothing,” sald Represent- ative Norris. “This postponement means not & thing more than that we have de- ferred consideration of my resolutfou unti tomorrow. The lssue is mot affccted at’ tll and the insurgents stand solidly and unbroken now, just where they stood twenty-four bours ago." “Unecle” Joe was in his room ali night, now and then coming out into the house, where Representative Dalzell held the chair.' He seemed imperturbed by all the warfare going on about his head. Underlying all the events and laughter of- the night was an exceedingly serious veln. This appeared especially when Rep- resentative Norris at 5:20 proposed an ad- journment until noon. They had exempli- tied the principle for which they stood, he said, and here everywhere in the dawn, after a sleepless night wearing themselves out fruitlessly, while the men they were fighting were getting a good night's sleep, Mr. James of Kentucky made an elo- quent protest against any concession to personal comfort shicn would tend to de- tract from the Impressiveness of the ob- Ject lesson which they were giving to the public of devotion to the public business, while the republican regulars were delib- eritely absent in the pursuance of a con- spiracy to prevent a quorum. New Sergeant-at-Arms. About 0:30 a. m. there was & hot debate about the possibility of appointing a new. sergeant-at-arms or other officers neces- sary to bring in absent members. It was the general opinion that the sergeant-at- arms and his deputles were making no sincere effort to find the missing republi- cana. Mr. Dalzell, in the chair, ruled that the miuority there was helpless to appoint iy additional officers of the house, The democrats contended the appoint- mont of additienal offieers necessary to to secure a quorum Was an essential part of the powers conferred upon ‘less than a quorum™ by the constitulon of the United States and the rules of the house, There was a long wrangle about this, officlally, Representative Hardwick (dem.) t Georgla moved the appolntment of a& temporary assistant sergeant-at-arms, with authority to employ additional assistance to bring In the missing representatives. The chair ruled the action out of order, but on appeal, was overruled with a shout. The same procedure Wwas gone through with upon a motion that the newly ap- pointed ‘officers be equipped with new warrants. Then the new officers went out 1o look for the missing republicans. © n and Burleson Tilt. This affalr took on a somewhat different aspect, however, when Speaker Cannon himself came on the scene, This was about 6 a. m. Mr, Burleson of Texas demanded of the spedker whether he had signed the new warrants “‘as ordered by this house “Uncle Joe' volos .quivered, with Alun- pressed rage as he roplied, with a bang- of the gavel: ““The chair declines to be catechised by the gentleman from Texas.” This_deflance by the speaker struck eparks all over the room. Myr. Burleson's face wis very red and his voice, too, shook with passion, as he sald: ‘“With all respect to the speaker of this house, am I to understand the speaker de- clines to obey the mandate of this house? Have not these warrants been fssued?" “Warrants were issued,” shouted the speaker, “under the rules, for the summon- ing of each of ths absentees.” “I mean the warrants ordered by this house to be given to Joe Sinnott, who was appointed by this house a speclal assistant sergeant-at-arms,” persisted. Mr. Burleson. “The chalr has no knowledge of any Joe Sinnott, whoever he may be," retorted the speaker, with scornful deliberation. “I submit the speaker is as much bound,” shouted the Texan, “to carry out the will of this house when there is not a quorum as when there is a quorum.” Then followed a lively Interchange, par- ticipated in by Messrs, Underwood of Ala- bama, Olmstead of Pennsylvania, James of Kentucky and the speaker, the latter evidently suppressing his emotions with much difficulty. The end of It was the speaker refused to recognize the authority of less than a quorum to issue any warrants for anybody. “Less than & quorum has no powers in this respect save those conferred upon it by the rules. Such a warrant as that re- quested (the speaker carefully emphasized the word ‘requested’) by the gentleman from Texas and the members less than a quorum would be null and vold and would be no protection to Mr. Joe Sinnott—who- ever he may be. “The spealer will hesitate long before performing & ministerial duty under the rules “otherwise than prescribed by the rules The #peaker then modified his aggressive tone, and continued, remarking that the long night vigil had evidently led certain merbers to be somewhat careless {n the use of language And to cast susplclon upon faithful employes.

Still No Quorum. The house thought It had a quorum about 7:30 a. m. and Mr. Olmstead (republican) of Pennsylvania moved to suspend opera- tlons under the call of the house. The hands of the big round clock in the back of the hall indicated 8 o'clock when the roll call was concluded. It was evi- dent to the most casual observer that the Olmstead motlon had been lost, but there was no hurry in announcing the result. It required some time for the clerks to make thelr tally and the speaker himselt showed no-disposition to expedite matters. At last he stated the motion had been defeated, 24 to 83, with 29 present but not voting, A weary yawn from the democratic side of the house, which was audible through- out the chamber, constituted the most animated demonstration that greeted the announcement. At this hour “Uncle Joe" was still at the helm. He appeared slightly worried, but the carnation which had graced his lapel yesterday was still fresh and his voice was not the least bit husky. Mr. Mann raised the point of no quorum, but apparently the speaker was not cer- taln of the footing of even as close a triend as the Chicago member, whose halr had not been combed for twenty-four hours, and he refused to entertain the point. He held that as the house was then undergoing the process of a call, the point could not be entertained. Speaker Stays at Post. “There Is a quoium of record,” hoe satd, “but it does not materialize.” He then stated that no business could be transacted 80 long as there was not a sufficient num- ber to meet the requirements of pariia- mentary practice. immediately the house thinned out. Probaly not fifty members wero left in their seats and some of them wore asleep, some read the morning papers, others gathered in groups wearily discuss- ing the situation. The speaker held his post, 1dly toying with his gavel with the same fondness often manifested by an old hunter towards a gun with which he has brought down much game. Some of his democratic friends took advantage of the opportunity, and golng to his side, joined in jovial conversation, Admittedly it was the lull before the storm. All storts of things were predicted before the close of the day and members generally were preparing for a strenuous time, “There will be some snake Kkilllng before the day Is ove sald Champ Clark as he sat in his seat rubbing his tired eves. Many, including the speaker went to breakfast. Even Republican Whip Dwight wandered out for a brief rest and was found asleep in a quiet corner. Some one expense. charge of not having his republican co- horts In attendance by saying that the re- sponsibility for the “white man's burden" had been taken from his shoulders and turned over to the sergeant-at-arms. The speaker ate sparingly. He ordered bread sticks, a large cup of coffee and two hard bolled eggs. Reporters Keep Busy. That the “day" which had begun at noon vesterday had been an exciting one was shown by the official reporters’ notes. They had taken down 146,000 words, more than three times the average, and none of them had a wink of sleep. At 9:30 a. m., Representative Norris of Nebraska, asserted his confidence of a majority of from 15 to 10 for his resolution. “We will beat them,” he sald. “There is no doubt of the result unless there Is some legerdmain.” Minority Leader Champ Clark who stayed at his post all night, made the same pre- diction, adding that it was the most re- markable struggle In the history of con- gress. ~ Cannon Accused of Anarchy. “The speaker of this house is maintain- ing & state of anarchy her shouted Rep- resentative Shackleford of Missour, shortly before 12 o'clock. Mr. Moore of Pennsylvania was in the chair and had just rapped the house to order, after members had been singing, “There Will be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight. “The sergeant-at-arms sits here,” con- tinued Mr. Shackleford, “and makes no offort to perform his duty because the - nrivetely directed him to pur- | sue this course of non-action. But the ser- » hog cruelly woke him to crack a joke at his | He defended himself against the | OMAHA, - SATURDAY, MARCH 19, geant-at-arms is bound to arrest absentees and bring them in here. When he refuses to do that, he |s bringing anarchy upon us Heeause the speaker finds that he fs not able to dominate the majority of this he he has refused to have a quorum brought Into this house." “Gentlemen on this floot were routed out of thelr beds to come here,” Interposcd Mr. Coudrey 6f Missour! “Why did the sergeant-at-arms come tc my room and get me And leave undis turbed twenty or thirty other members who were llving nearby?" Inquired Mr. | Shackleford. Representative Payne coming on the floor referred to Mr. Shackleford's remarks as & “harangue.” | “I hope the winds of. the caves will cease for a few minutes,” shouted Mr. Pa across the alsle toward the Missourl me ber. Mr. Payne Makes Changes. “The gentleman with twenty or thirty of his confederates does not.” Mr. Payne be- gan. “Mr, Speaker! Mr. Speaker!" shouted Mr. Shackleford, who objected to being referred to as having twenty or thirty ‘‘confed- erates. ‘“They were not my confederates,” declared. “They were the confederates of the | speaker of this house and I make the point of order that the gentleman s in- correct when he says they were my con- | federates.” “I do not think anybody on this side of the house would assoclate with the gentle- man from Missourl,” continued Floor Leader Payne. “The gentleman from Missourl has sneaked in here while there was a call of the Mouse without being recorded.” A scene of confusion followed this charge. Mr. Shackelford going before the speaker's desk, declared that he was thers ready to answer any charge. He Insisted that he had been present In the house during twenty-four hours, excepting two hours he had gone to get some sleep. Again Mr. Shackelford charged the speaker with having filibustered to the detriment of the house business. “He has refused to perform the functions he took an oath to perform,” shouted Mr. Shackelford. Recess for Two Hours. At 2 o'clock this afternoon the house, ter sitting for twenty-six hours, took & cess for two hours by a vote of 161 to 1. Nine Insurgents voted with the regu- lars In order to get time in which to con- sider the compromise upon which all parties have been working. Cheers, mostly from the republican side, greeted the vote to take a recess. Both the | democrats and insurgents denied that the vote Indicated any loss of strength what- ever on the main proposition at lssue. Representative Chanfp Clark sald: “This little recess means nothing. The fight 1s still on and when the final vote Is taken It will show that the other side of the house is licked.” Representative Underwood said that the democrats voted against a recess, because they-considerod that the fight was won and that no compromise was necessary and no conference on any subject required. Even the regulars did not claim victory. The Insurgents who voted with the regu- lars for @ recess were Representatives Kendall, Pickett and Woods of Towa, Kin~, kald of Nebraska, Miller and Volstead of Minnesota and Parsons, Fish and Foelker of New York. Representative Norris, leader of the in- surgents and author of the resolution be- fore the house, stated that these insurgents had been released trom their pledges and allowed to vote for a recess in order to further the compromise under considera- tion. The recess was ordered after an Im- portant conference of regular republicans, insurgents and demoorats ended without tangible result. At the meeting Was debated the question of compromise, which had been submitted Dby the insurgents to the regulars in the nature of an ultimatum. Thelr proposition was that the houss proceed to elect & house rules committee’ of elither ten or fifteen members, on which all factions were to have representatives, each side to elect its awn committeemen. The speaker was to be denied a place thereen. Personnel of Conmference. [ Th conference occurred between Messrs. Gardnr, Hayes, Norris and Lenroot for the Insurgents and Representatives Champ Clark and Underwood for the democrats. It was agreed by them that the proposi- tion was satisfactory. Immedlately after- ward followed a lengthy conference be- tween the insurgent leaders and Repre- senatives Dalzell and Smith of the regu- lars. No definite conclusion was reached and the men finally left the room, worn and haggard and almost exhausted. It was understood Messrs. Smith and Dalzell de- clined to accede to the proposition sub- mitted, but wished to confer further with the leaders before finally refusing. From one of the most intimate friends of the speaker came the startling state- ment that 1f the Norris resolution was passed Speaker Cannon would resign and that the regulars would vote with the democrats for the election of Champ Clark as speaker rather than side with the in- surgents for the selection of one of thelr choosing. This startling statement was denled by other friends of the speaker. Regulars Look Dejected. | Every hour'added to the great weariness of the members who had been In the thick | of the combat for twenty-four hours. De- jectlon was written on‘the faces of many | of the regular republican leaders and it | was plain that they belleved they were in & hopeless and’ permanent minority in the house and at best were only prolonging in- evitable dethronement. Representative Dalzell was frequently be- sleged by republican members to allow a vote on a recess, but he declined to con- | sent or consider that matter so !ong as the | negotiations were continuing with the in- surgents as a possible compromise, Hurry calls sent out by republican and democratic whips resulted in a good many additions to the attendance in the house today. Seventeen members showed up In response—ten regulars, one insurgent and six democrats.¥ The republicans were Me- Call of Massachusetts, Simons of New York, M. E. Driscoll of New York, Moon of Pennsylvania, Tener of Pennsylvania, Campbell of Kansas, Denby of Michigan, Nye of Minnesota, Burke of Pennsylvania and Foelker of New York. The insurgent, or, rather, near-insurgent, | was Representative Parsons of New York Rhinock of Kentucky, Alexander of Mis- houri, Talbert of Maryland, Boehne of In- diana, Hobson of Alabama and Pou of North Carolina were the democrats. Stand by the Sneak At 8 o'clock this afternoon Representa- tives Norris, Hayes, Gardner and Lenroot of the Insurgents left the conference in Representative Gardner's room and went to the ways and means committee room, where they met the committée of the regu- lars In & conference on the compromise proposition. It i1s proposed to have the present rules.| commities bring in a special rule providing for a new rules committee of ten members, to be chosen by the houss, with the speaker left off.

"Later Representative Tawney again left the conference room and after a few min- utes returned with Representatives Payne, Dalzell and Smith. Dalzell and Smith are members of the present rules committee. Mr. Bartlett of Georgla, on making the point of order.that the motion to take a recess was not privileged after the speaker announced he was prepared to rule, Mr. Cannon sustained the point of order. Motion Passes to Adjourn. The entire membership of the house was present and various motions were made for the purpose of obtaining an. fmmedi- ately ruling and others to postpone the ruling until tomorrow. Finally the motion by. Mr. Calnes of West Virginia, that the Aullrig be postposed until 12:06 o'clock to morrow was put to.the house and the roll was called. The effect of this motion would be to carry the question into another legislative day, all previous motions being for & post- ponement to 11:65 o'clock, which would continue the present legislative day. By a vote of 184 to 150 the house agreed to defer the ruling until tomorrow. As soon as the result was announced routine matters were taken from the speak- er's desk and proceeded with as though the house had not ben in combat for twenty- elght hours. Several conference reports, among them the white slave bill, were agreed to by the house. Upon motion of Mr. Galnes of West Vir- ginia the house at 4:48 o'clock adjourned until tomorrow at 11 o'clock. Firemen Make Little Headway With Mediation CHICAGO, March 18.—After two days of almost continuous argument the mediation between the representative of 27,000 fire- men and the general managers of forty- seven western rallroads was still uncon- cluded up to a late hour tonight. It was jstated the hearing would probably be continued tomorrow and it would be Im- posssible to tell when the federal medlators would complete thelr work. That the firemen are anxious for a prompt decision was made known by W. S. Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotice Firemen and Enginemen, who sald the unions plan to call a strike next | Monday morning had not been abundoned. It was learned that the rallroads are still determined to stand “pat’ on their refusal to submit to arbitration certain rules governing dieipline and authority with Martin A. Knapp, chairman of the Inter- state Commerce Commission, and C. P.

The government officials, howewer, declined to comment on the situation.
