SS —o— Independent Republicans and Demeo- crats Combine In House to Amend Rules In Several Important Particu- lare—No Change In Method of Se- lecting Committees. Washington, March 16.—After one of the stormiest sessions in its history, the house of representatives, regard- less of party alignment, adopted, 211 to 172, a resolution by Mr. Fitzgerald (Democrat, of New York), whereby the rules were amended in several im- portant particulars. The resolution was a substitute for one offered by Mr. Clark, of Missouri. Its adoption was accomplished only after the “insurgents,” with the aid of the Democrats, with one or two ex- ceptions, had won a decided prelim- inary victory by voting down a resolu- tion by Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, making the unamended rules of the Sixtieth congress applicable to those of the present congress. The call of the roll on the resolution was followed with intense interest. Three Important Changes. As analyzed by parliamentarians, the amendment makes three important changes. First, it establishes a “cal- endar for unanimous consents,” the ef- fect of which is to enable a member to have a proposition brought before the house without having to go to the speaker for recognition. This change, they say, will be a relief to the speaker. Second, when consideration of a bill 1s concluded and the previous question is ordered, the rules hereto- fore have provided for a motion to commit with or without instructions. It has been the practice to recognize a member of the majority party to make this motion and thus prevent the minority from offering such in- structions as it may desire. The new rule gives the minority the preference in making such a motion, and thus enables them to get a record vote on propositions which would otherwise be settled In committee of the whole house, where no record vote is pos- sible. Third, it protects the calendar Wednesdays by requiring a two-thirds instead of a majority vote to set it aside. Fourth, it is also claimed that the amendment will have the effect of preventing favoritism by the action of | the committee on rules in special cases, A prominent feature of the Clark resolution was an amendment provid- ing for a committee of fifteen members to revise, amend and codify the rules, and much of the opposition to it was | because of this fact. As adopted the makes no Fitzgerald amendment change in the present method of the selection of the committee on rules, which is made by the speaker, nor is there any change in the method of se- | lecting committees. That quiet town of Gatesburg is all agog | 5 Speaker Cannon is inclined to re- gard the amendment as a slight im- provement on the present rules, in that instead of throwing the responsi- bility for recognition on him it sets aside certain days for the considera- tion of measures under unanimous consent; but, he says, under the new rule members will have to wait for those days. Cannon Says Bryan Interfered. In a conversation soon after the ae- tion of the house he commented freely upon the fact that Mr. Bryan had in- terfered in the interest of the changes submitted by Mr. Clark, and spoke of the adoption of the Fitzgerald substi- tute as a triumph over the Bryan forces, saying that the conservative Democrats who really want legislation had practically stood for the old rules with the amendments offered by Mr. Fitzgerald. “It was,” he said, “a pro- test by the conservative Democrats against Populism and all kindred things.” The election of house officers pre- | ceded the action on the rules. With plenty of votes to spare, Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois, was re-elected the speaker, receiving 204 votes as against 166 for Champ Clark, of Misscuri; the rest scatering. Hunters and Trappers Also Stricken With Fatal Disease.

New York, March 16.—Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of J. P. Morgan, will open a restaurant in the Brooklyn navy As chairman of a commiitse ap- pointed by the National Civic Federa- Oil Trust Wins Rebate Case. The Standard Oil Company of diana was found not guilty of ing rebates from the Chicago & railroad on shipments of oil Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, The verdict was returned by a in the federal court in Chicago on by a jury in the federal court on in- structions of Judge A. G. Anderson, who averred that he followed the cir cuit court of appeals decisions as to the verdict returned at the former trial of the same case and on which verdict Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as- sessed a fine of $29,240,000. Judge Anderson's decision was not unexpected, as he had told the gov- ernment prosecutors that the proof relied on in the first trial was incom- petent and that it must be comple- mented or fail. It was with something of an air of hopefulness that District Attorney Edwin W. Sims and his as- sistants attempted to show the admis- sibility of the Illinois classification to prove the existence of a legal rate of 18 cents, which was a vital point in the government's contention. Local Option Voted Down. After a campaign that had been car- ried on in Pennsylvania for two years and discussed in the halls of the legis- lature, the local option bill, backed by the combined anti-saloon interests of Pennsylvania, was defeated in the house of representatives by a vote of 66 to 137. The vote was taken after three hours of oratory in which both sides of the question were thoroughly and very freely discussed. There was no demonstration when the vote was announced. It was a notable night on Capitol Hill, the beautiful hall of the house being crowded to suffocation with people who came from all parts of the state to hear the debate, which was the ablest and longest heard in the house in a long time. Notwithstanding their defeat, the friends of local option declare their intention of immediately beginning a campaign to further contest this ques- tion between now and the election of the next legislature. FH 55 Child's Assailant Gets 21 Years. Joseph M. Janer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., convicted of felonious assault on Cath- erine Loerch, twelve years old, also of Brooklyn, was sentenced to twenty- one years in the Maryland peniten- tiary, this being the maximum possi- ble under the particular count of the indictment on which conviction was bad. The case began Wednesday in Towson, Md., before Judges Burke and Duncan and was tried without a jury. It was in evidence that Janer, early in February, brought the child to Bal- timore, represented her to be his daughter, and during two nights, cne spent in a disreputable house and the ment. The prosecution put witnesses on the stand to show practically every move made by Janer and the child af- ter their arrival in Baltimore, and phy- sicians gave evidence confirmatory of the contention of the state, en ma Three Men Kill Polish Priest. to have been concealed by their heavy overcoats and slouch hats, walked into the study of Rev.

Bryan, was granted a divorce from W. H. Leavitt at Lon- | coln, Neb.
