DAVID K* HOUSTON
St. Louis, March 27.—The Friends of Professor David F. Houston, Secre
tary of Agriculture, have received information from Washington that tends
to deny the rumor that Secretary Houston was about to quit President Wil
son's Cabinet to become a member of the Federal Reserve Board. The
President recently announced that he had no intention of changing the per

passioned sppeechmaklng. Speaker
Clark, Representative Underwood,
Representative Fitzgerald and other
Democratic leaders voted against the
motion to cut off debate. With the
adoption of the resolution to stop de

was upon the adoption of the rule
Itself. Administration supporters were
sure of its passage.
The special rule then was adopted,

tions and amendments.
\Vhen the Panama Canal tolls fight
was resumed in the House to-day tho
battle lines were drawn in this man
ner:
Forty-five minutes remained for de
bate on the special rule to limit dis
cussion to twenty hours on the Sim«
bill to repeal the exemption for coast
wise ships.
Chairman Henry, of the rules com
mittee, leading that phase of the light
for the administration forces, was
ready at the conclusion of the fifty-five
minutes to "move the previous ques
tion," a parliamentary maneuver to
shut off debate on the rule and force
a vote, the first real test of strength.
Opponents of the administration
program, strengthened by Speaker
Clark's vigorous denunciation of the
attempt at cloture and renewed by
his declaration that he would vote
against limiting debate, were prepared
to bring every resource into play to
beat "the previous question" and thus
throw down the bars for unlimited
debate not only on the rule but on the
repeal bill Itself.
On this first test vote hung not only
the question of pressing the adminis
tration measure through but also the
greater one of opening it to amend
ment, for the rule proposes that only
one amendment may be permitted to
intervene—and that would be one mo
tion to recommit to the commerce
committee.
Administration leaders realized that
if beaten on the cloture rule the bill
itself would be open to amendments,
one of which gaining favor to-day was
to repeal the exemption but to spe
cifically provide that the right to grant
free passage to Americans ships under
existing treaties shoudl not be surren
dered.
in this way the opposing forces
were drawn up to renew one of the
bitterest congressional fights of recent
years, certainly the. hardest fought of
President Wilson's administration.
Over-night conferences and strength
ening of the battle lines brought no
visible shift in position of either side
in this contest, in which party lines
have been broken, and Democrats, Re
publicans and Progressives divided
into two camps under banners pro
claiming either for or against repeal
of the exemption.
Sudden Adjournment
The defection of such Democratic
party leaders as Speaker Clark, Rep
resentative Underwood, Chairman
Fitzgerald, of the appropriations com
mittee, and others from the President's
support served to make the fight more
bitter. President Wilson received early
reports from his supporters at the
White House and was confident thai
his argument that he was askihg no
man to change his opinions, but to
correct a situation, would win the day.
The sudden adjournment of the
House last night when only fifty-five
minutes more would have brought the
first test vote was variously inter
preted. Speaker Clark's vigorous
Btatement denouncing the rule re
ceived various constructions among
close observers of the political sit
uation.
Senator Chamberlain, leading re
peal opponents in the Senate, was
elated at the situation in the House.
"I was lonely when I started thl&
fight." he said, "but we are gaining
strength every day. It's going to be
the old battle of '7G over again, the
Tory element on one side and tho
masses of the people on the other."
Confidence Expressed
Administration leaders continued to
express confidence in the outcome of
the controversy, predicting a substan
tial majority for the repeal. Some
told the President to-day they would
have a majority of fifty on the rule.
Administration leaders in the House
went into executive session with Rep

resentative Adamson to plan the fight
Those who attended were Representa
tives Sherley, Adamson. Harwick, Fos
ter, Flood, Henry, Covington, Sims,
Hay and Palmer. It was decided to
center the attack on the attitude of
Speaker Clark. The time was divided
between Representative Adamson and
Representative Hardwick, the former
to make some discussion of the bill,
but the latter to devote his speech en
tirely to a reply to Speaker Clark's
statement of last night.
Wilson vs. Clark
Some congressmen professed the
view that the fight had taken the
aspect of a contest between the Presi
dent and Speaker Clark. They ex
pressed the Speaker might take the
floor to personally lead the fight on
the rule, or might reserve his attack
for the bill itself, unless forced to the
floor to defend himself. <
The galleries filled up early. Mrs.
Clark had a seat in the Speaker's
i gallery.
| An outburst of applause and shout
ing greeted Speaker Clark as he as
cended the rostrum promptly at noon.
He stilled the tumult and the house
rose as the chaplain prayed.
Representative I'Engle, of Florida,
an invalid, was wheeled into the
chamber in his wheel chair and placed
just to the right of the Speaker's ros
trum. The opening business was
quickly disposed of and the rule was
brought up for the remaining fifty-five
minutes' debate.
Clark warned the floor and
galleries that an 'acrimonious and ex
citing debate like this" should call for
perfect order. He had some difficulty
in quieting the House, but finally suc
ceeded.
Fight Is Opened
Representative Sherwood. Repub
lican, of Ohio, was the first speaker.
He urged an amendment to dismantle
tho fortifications of the canal and ab
solutely neutralize it.
The administration forces opened
the fight In a twelve-minute speech by
Representative Adamson.
He referred to the arguments in
favor of the tolls exemption as "clap
trap, poppycock and delusion." The
Democratic platform pledge favoring
exemption. Representative Adamson
said, was written into the platform by
"one of the leading friends of exemp
tion." The chairman of the reso
lutions committee, he said, "was busy
watching Tammany Hal! and Wall
Street for the protection of the people,
but it seems like he watched the
wrong man."
As to the present foreign situation
and its relation to the demand for the
repeal, Representative Adamson said:
"Who knows what the situation at
this time may be better than the
President, who is peculiarly charged
under the Constitution with respon
sibility for foreign affairs. Whoever
fights this repeal now not only fights
the honest equality and domestic econ
omy of his people, but he fights the
administration oti the foreign policy
of the government, and if disaster re
sults, lie must take his place and
share the odium and responsibility for
whatever disaster may come."
Mr. Adamson declared he and Chair
man Henry had conferred with
Speaker t'lark as to tho drawing of
approved it."
Speaker Clark Revolts
Against President Wilson
Washington, D. C., March 27.
Speaker Clark has openly Joined the
revolt In Congress against the admin
istration's stand for the repeal of the
tolls exemption clause in the Panama
Canal act.
He has also injected Into tho con
troversy the Issue of whether or not
the Democrats will submit to the old
Republican gag rule and agree to limit
the House debate on the tolls question
to twenty hours, for which tho ad
ministration forces are working.
Speaker Clark's attitude, which ho
lias set forth In a public statement,
Is regarded as the beginning of a bit
ter factional fight. ,
The Speaker's revolt furthermore is
looked upon as the firing of his first
gun to capture the Democratic nomi
nation for the presidency in 1916.
This phase of the situation over
shadows for the moment In Washing
ton the battle over the repeal of thb.
tolls exemption. %.
President Wilson made a statement
yesterday to the etTect that the ad
ministration bases its plea for the re
peal of the tolls exemption clause on
the exigencies of the foreign relation*
of the United States.
He argues that members of Con
gress should align themselves not on
the question of economic policy or
treaty rights, but on the question of
whether or not they will support the
foreign policy of the government.
