WHAT THEYWISH TO ACCOMPLISH
A Saving of 1)182,000 In Annual Cost
1 of Running ths House One
of Results of New
.;, ... Rule, ,'- : ,'
. Washington, April . In a party
caucus, noteworthy for its harmony
and the smoothness of its progress,
the Democratic members of the new
house of representatives adopted
without change the committee assign
ments, the economy, program and the
new rules prepared for the coming
session by the committees that hare
been working in the last month.
A legislative program was adopted
which is expected to confine the ac
tivities of the coming extra session ol
congress to popular election of sena
tors, Canadian reciprocity, tariff re
vision, investigation ot governmental
departments, congressional reappor
tionment, statehood for Arlsona and
New Mexico, general deficiency appro
priations, (District ot Columbia legis
lation and publicity of campaign con
tributions. Important changes in procedure,
and a general reorganization of the
house will result from the action ot
the Democrats. The power of naming
committees was definitely taken from
the speaker by the rules and lodged
In the house Itself, Committee mem
bers are to be elected by the house
not only In the first Instance, but altc
In the Ming of vacancies.
The rule to prevent filibustering on
a motion to discharge a committee
from custody of a bill Is the result ol
a filibuster conducted in the last set
slon by Representative Mann of 111!
noli. He had the postofflce reorganl
tatlon bill placed on the calendar un
der this rule, and demanded tbat it be
read completely, an operation tbat
consumed several days.
The new rule provides that a bill
shall be read only by its title, and
that Its title shall not be more than
100 words long. It prohibits any mem
ber from having before the house at
any one time more than two motions
to discharge committees from the cut
tody ot bills. Under this rule the
Democrats believe It can be made to
work as originally Intended, to pre
vent the burying of bills in commit
tee. ,
A saving of 1182,000 in the annua)
cost of running the house is prom
ised through the cutting out of super
fluous employes and inactive commit
tees; and through the abolishment
of time honored , "extra month's pay."
Appointive places are put. into the
hands of one committee, a special
body to be known as the committee
on organisation and the scramble for
congressional positions will center
about its door.

WILL HOLD RECIPROCITY BACK
Unless the Senate Will Assist With
: Revising Schedules no Canadian
Agreement Can
'V , ;,;.! Pass.'- ' '.,''
Washington, April 3. If the house
should pass the reciprocity measure
toon after the convening of congress
and the senate should act promptly
the senate Republican majority could
past a Joint resolution to adjourn Im
mediately. ; As the Democratic house
would not agree to this a deadlock ot
Inaction would be created which could
only be met by the president pro
roguing the two houses under his con
stitutional prerogative.
A provision of the constitution
gives the president power to prorogue
congress If the two houses cannot
agree upon a time for adjournment
This power' never has been exercised
for conditions nave never arisen te
require It In the present session con
ditions could easily be manipulated
to render the exercise of this power
desirable. If the house passed the
reciprocity agreement and sent It tc
the senate and it was agreed to In
that body, the senate then could pasi
a Joint resolution providing for final
adjournment. The house would not
agree, it being the intention of th
Democrats to proceed with general
legislation, t There would follow a
deadlock and the president' could
prorogue the two houses.
. A Check on the Senate.
To forestall the possibility ot suck
an unfortunate situation Democratic
leaders are considering the advlsabll
lty of holding reciprocity in the hou
until the senate has decided some ol
the tariff schedules that under th
Democratic caucus plan are to b
amended. If the senate takes thess
measures up and, disposes of then
promptly then reciprocity will be sent
over and the president will get wbal
he most desires, No chances will be
taken, however, for democracy to be
made the victim ot sharp parlla
mentary practices.
It the senate assumes the responsi
blllty of refusing to allow revision ol
the tariff to be made there will be nc
Democratic objection to dissolution
of the congress. The compulsory ad
Journment ot the congress wltU t
genuine downward i revision bill 01
hills, passed by the house and held u
by the senate would afford the Demo
crats campaign, material' of ; which
they would not" slow to take' ad

sentiment ot congress when he said
that the Indications pointed to a sea
slon lasting from now until late In

Numerous clews, at first thought to

"We will catch them," said he, "but
we must not make any false step."
Senatlonal -rumors associating
names of well known persons In Las

but all efforts to trace their source
were unavailable. Persons mentioned
are respected and their arrest would
cause a tremendous sensation. Not
withstanding denials by the officers
the persoas suspected are believed
to be under close surveillance.
Public sentiment demands the kid
