VOL. XXI. CHAMP CLARK NOW SPEAKE House of Representatives Dern cratic for the First Time in Sixteen Long Years ALL WERE PRESENT BUT WOODROW WILSON The Great Missourian in Patriotic Speech Accepts Speakership •Representing 92,000,000 Americans p -■"" WASHINGTON, D. C. April 4. — The Sixty-second congress met In ex traordinary session today. What the session will bring forth, or when It will adjourn are matters for conjec ture. Democrats took possession of the house and put Champ Clark Into the speaker's chair. In his speech of acceptance he warned the democrats that the leyes of the whole country Sre on them; that the party is on trial and that it has the opporuniy, for the first time In 16 years, to prove Its worthiness for a still higher expres sion of confidence. Throughout the day the shadow of the coming presi dential fight hovered about the capl tol and there is no question but maneuvers for political advantage will play an important part tn the affairs of the house. AM Present But Wilson Had Governor Woodrow Wilson "been present, thk- list of generally ac cepted democratic presidential pos sibilities would have been complete. It Is likely one of the most Import ant thing the democratic house will do will be to order an investigation at the departments and other governhiSHt service. Democrats t**}alm there has been no such investigation fo? 20 years and tbat a saving to the people will result. The house session was devoted to the work of organization. The re publicans will make their first fight n these. They recent the action of the democrats In increasing the member ship of the committees without in creasing the per centage of minority representation. Republican insurgents in the house indicated their purpose to act In dependently by declining to vote for Mann for speaker and by giving their support to Cooper of V'lsconsln. The senate's opening wis as sedate as usual. While the le? aershlp of the upper branch remains in republican hands the change in the personnel Is almost as marked as in the house. Aldrich, Hale. Beverldge and othiers, *soth regular and progressive, were among the missing. In tbe House This day marked the opening of the trial of the democratic party to demonstrate its worthiness to receive "the wider confidence" of the voters at the country. Asking his colleagues to keep that fact uppermost In their minds during the present session of congress. Representative Champ Clark of Missouri, in his speech ac cepting the speakership of the house, today outlined the measures through which the democratic party hopes to continue to enjoy the faith of the people. Intelligent revision of the tariff, ghangea ia the house rules to permit proper consideration of house meas ares; economy in handling the purse strings of the country, the publication at campaign contributions and the early admissio of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood were some of the things which Speaker Clark em phasized in the democratic program as measures which would be under taken by the majority party. Tlio Speech Speaker Clark said: "Election to the high position of speaker is an honor for which you have my profoundest gratitude. To be a member of the house, to repre sent 200,000 American cit zens In the more numerous branch of the great est legislative body in the world ia an honor comparatively few men may attain. "To be chosen by .the representa tives of 92,000,000 people to preside over their deliberations is a signal mark of your favor for which the best return is to discharge the oner ous duties of the station to which you have assigned me with such im partiality, constancy, industry, cour tesy and good temper as to expedite the public business, thereby promot ing the public weal. The pleasure of being elected speaker is much en hanced today by the perfect unanim ity with which it is conferred by our party fellows and the universal goo.l will with which it is accepted by our co-laborers of the minority. Cooperation Invoked "Coming into the speakership under these fortunate circumstances, the hearty cooperation of all mem bers of whatever persuasion is earnest ly invoked in maintaining order and decorum and in placing upon the sta tute books laws for the good of the country, and the whole country, working out promptly, patiently, courageously, wisely and patriotically, those measures necessary for the bet terment of governmental methods an 1 for the amelioration of the conditions under which we live.

Supreme Court .SEATTLE, April 4. —The supreme court of tliur United States will sever the gordian knot of Alaskan coal claims as a result of an amicable agreement reached by counsel for the government and defense in the ilrst of the fraud cases to go before the jury. The case was that of the United States anainst Charles Mun day and others charged with conspir acy to defraud the government of i coal land in Alaska valued at more than $100,000,000. The agreement Is the result of a ruling of Judge Han ford on motion by the defense last week to dismiss the case on the prin cipal ground that the land law of 1873 did not cover Alaska. Judge Hanford sustained this con tention, but overrules the motion on the ground that the eovernment might prosecute the defendants for having conspired to cain title to the land for the benefit of the Pacific Coal and Oil company, an alien cor poration. After Judge Hanford's ruling the opposing counsel decided to make ud the record upon which the case can be reviewed by the su preme court, so when court ODene l today the Indictment was quashed, defendants discharged, an exception taken and arrangements for appeal to the supreme court made.

And I want to tell you of a little town that you all laugh al that has you all backed to the wall when It comes to growth anil that is Pasco. You fol luws can laugh and say what you like about Pasco and declare that there never will he anything to Kennew ck but I want tn tell you to forget It. Those towns are growing and vvery salesman on the road will tell you so. This valley is on" of the best places In the country and those two towns are the heaviest end of It right now. "I c|(> not think that the business In my line will be as heavy this ye ir as It wns last. I see no indications of It at the preesnt time.

BLOSSOM EEIE APIJS TO ft Various Sub-Committees Report Satisfactory Progress With Work Entrusted Them SOMETHING WILL BE DOING EVERY MINUTE Big Parade Will Probably Take Place Friday Instead of Satur day, and There Will be Excur sions, Basket Picnics, Etc. Provided the weather man does ht-> part and the frost does not slaughter the buds, thl»re Is every prospect for a highly successful first annual Blos som Festival the week of April 15 to "2. At a meeting of the general committee yesterday morning in the Commercial club rooms various com mittees reported satisfactory pro gress. The postal cards to advertise the fete have all been sent out, through school children, and Individ uals, and It Is estimated that the homes of the state have been pretty well notified of the fact In this way. Posters to be displayed in railway sta tions and other public places, show ing specimen apple trees in a burst of bloom, arc to be distributed within a few days. Railrnnd Rales In the absence of chairman A. B. CI ne. J. F. Barton presided. Mr. Ansart reported for the transporta tion committee that .the Northern Pa cific had agred to give rates of a faro and a third from Spokane and from j Seattli; and Tacoma. but had refuse-! to extend these rates to Portland, or to any of the cities north of Seattle. This was a considerable dlsappoln! ment. as when a number of the of ficials of the Northern Pacific Wen talking to Secretary James of the fftmaitroißl club v few weKs agro in regard to the matter, they were much more liberal In tho ganeral trend of their talk, though they made no specific statements. The North Coast will give similar rates on Its Walls Walla-North Yakima line, having no through connections which ennbl. them to make rates for a longer dis tance. Mr. Donald has promised rates lor the Naches and Moxeo trips. J. V. Payne of the finance commit tee reported that over $1000 had ben-n collected for the fund. Change Arrangements It is likely that the parade will be given Friday afternoon Instead of Saturday, as originally planned, since It Is thought thnt a better turn out if the school children can be obtained In this way. Teachers will march with the children only In cases where th'-v are -vllling, and perhaps It will not b3 deemed advisable to have pupils under the fourth grndo march. The transportation company will be asked to give free rides to the school children coming from a distance to take part in the procession. With the parade Friday, the basket picnic to the Naches will be placed for Thursday, and a basket picnic at Sumach park for either Wednes day or Suturday afternoon.
