Washington.--The three days' battle for supremacy in the national house of representatives ended Saturday with the deposition of Speaker Can­ non from his place of power. With a determination that gave no quarter, the insurgent Republicans, aided by their Democratic allies, shat­ tered the speaker's power, and then turned in and helped the regular Re­ publicans give "Uncle Joe" a rousing and affecting vote of personal confi­ dence. By a vote of 191 to 155 the house doubled the size of the present rules committee, made it an elective body, and eliminated the speaker from its membership. Then, likewise by a vote of 191 to 155, the house refused to dethrone Mr. Cannon from the speakership. Cannon Stakes Speakership. When he had seen himself beaten on the question of reorganizing the rules committee, which controls the house, Mr. Cannon offered to yield up also the office of speaker, which he occupies, and permit the election of a successor. The majority of the insurgents at this juncture parted ways with their Democratic allies, and joining hands with the standpatters, refused to de­ clare the chair of the speaker vacant. Forty-three Republican insurgents voted for the new rule. Only nine went on record to oust the speaker. New Rules Committee. Under the terms of the new ordef of things the house bound itself with­ in ten days to proceed to the organ­ ization of a new rules committee of ten members, six of whom shall be Republicans and four Democrats, and to which body the speaker is not eligible. $ These members will be nominated in the Republican and Democratic caucuses and elected by resolution in the house. This new body will take over the reins of power from the present rules committee of five members appointed by the speaker and dominated by his influence. The committee will handle the machinery which grinds out leg­ islation in the lower house. Here is the Nurris resolution, which was adopted: "There shall be a committee on rules, elected by the house (hitherto the committee of five, like all other, house committees, has been appointed by the speaker), consisting of ten members, six of whom shall be mem­ bers of the majority party and four of whom shall be members of the minority party. The speaker shall not be a member of the committee and the committee shall elect its own chairman from its own members. "Resolved, Further, That within ten! days after the adoption of this resolu­ tion there shall be an election of this committee and immediately upon its election the present committee on rules shall be dissolved." Texan's Resolution Defeated. Here is the resolution of Represen­ tative Burleson, which was defeated: "Resolved, That the office of speak­ er of t&e housg of representative is hereby declared to be vacant, and the house of representatives shiU at once proceed to the election of a speaker*" Caucuses, it was announced, would "be called immediately by both parties to select, respectively, the six Repub- licana and four Democrats who are to constitute the new committee oil rules. The old committee consisted of Speaker Cannon, chairman, and Messrs. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Smith of Iowa, Republicans, and Minority Leader Clairk of Missouri and John J. Fitzgerald of New York, Democrats. Republican Leader Sereno E. Payne said that "recent events" were "too recent" for his party to have decided definitely upon the date of its caucus. Republican Whip Wright thought it would he at an early date. Minority Leader Clark thought the Democratic caucus would meet within a few days. The fact is that both parties to the long and bitter fight were too thor­ oughly fatigued to have formed any definite plans. Nature was calling first for sleep, and a respite from the long struggle was a necessity. "Insurgent" Republicans, The Republican members of ^con­ gress who voted against the speaker were: Nelson, Kopp, Carey, Cooper, David­ son, Lenroot, Morse of Wisconsin, Davis, Lindbergh, Miller, Steenerson, Volstead of Minnesota, Kendall, Hub­ bard, Good, Haughn, Picketts, Woods of Iowa, Hinshaw, Kinkaid, Norris of Nebraska, Madison, Murdock of Kan­ sas, Howland, Johnson, Taylor Of Ohio, Ames, Gardner of Massachusetts, Foelker, Fish of New York, Poindex- ter of Washington, Martin of South Dakota, Gronna of North Dakota, Fowler of New Jersey, Hayes of Cali­ fornia. After five hours of turbulent and relentless onslaught, which the com­ bined insurgents and Democrats led with invariable success against Mr. Cannon and the standpatters, the finale was dramatic in the extreme. Mr. Cannon, confessing his defeat, read a statement in which he defended his course, contended that he had dene no political wrong, and offered to entertain a motion to declare the chair vacant and the election of a successor in order. This is the crux of what he read: "The speaker has always said that under the constitution, it is a question of the highest privilege for an actual majority of the house at any time to choose a new speaker. He again noti­ fies the house that the speaker will at this moment or at any other time while he remains speaker entertain In conformity with the highest constitu­ tional privilege a motion by any mem­ ber to vacate the office of the speak­ ership and choose a new speaker, and under existing conditions would wel­ come such action upon the part of the actual majority of the house so that power and responsibility may rest with the Democratic and Insurgent members, who, by the last vote, evi­ dently constitute a majority of this house. The chair is now ready to en­ tertain such a motion." In accordance with a prearranged plan, which by chance had become known to the speaker's friends, Mr. Burleson, a Texas Democrat, offered a resolution declaring the speaker's chair vacant, and amid scenes of wild­ est disorder "Uncle Joe" turned over the gavel to Representative Payne and retired to his room to await the out­ come. The Democrats voted solidly to depose the speaker, while all the regu­ lars and most of the insurgents voted against it. Burleson's action was re­ garded even by some of his Demo­ cratic colleagues as a big tactical blun­ der. The nine insurgents who voted to oust the speaker from the chair were: Cary (Wis.), Cooper (Wis.), Davis (Minn.), Gronne-1 (N. D.), Lenroot (Wis.), Lindbergh (Minn.), Murdock (Kan.), Nelson (Wis.), Poindexter (Wash). With announcement of the vote of personal confidence in Mr. Cannon a wild whoop went up from the floor and swept the galleries. PEACE OF NATIONS IS THE THEMK OP PRESIDENT TAPT AND CANADA'S RULER.

Albany, N. T.~President Taft clasped hands with Earl Grey, gover­ nor general of Canada, Saturday night, at the banquet of the University club. Gov. Hughes was also present. Rumors that Mr. Taft was to have Important political conferences dur­ ing his stay proved to be without foundation. The president announced that he had made no engagements of a political character. All three of the distinguished vis­ itors were speakers at the banquet. The chief subject of their addresses was the friendship between the two countries. "I may perhaps be excused if 1 Confess to you, with all the confidence of one who has lived for upwards of five years in close and delightful in­ timacy with the Canadian people, that they are well worthy of your esteem and affection," said Earl Grey. "I never visit the United States without experiencing a feeling of pride that we Canadians and Americans are re­ lated by the close ties of a common ancestry, and that consequently, al­ though living under different forms of free and enlightened government, we are, so far is the real big thlngB are concerned, practically one people." President Taft declared it had been a great privilege to meet and talk with Earl Grey. "The governor general and I have been comparing notes," he said, "and I find that his job and mine differ in several marked degrees--in his favor. He represents the king, and the king can do no wrong. The president can do no right--at least he hasn't any­ body to throw it onto aince Loeb left the White House." The president referred briefly to the tariff conference to he held looking to an adjustment oF~dlfferences with Canada. He said that every effort would be put forth by the American government to see if a means could be found of avoiding the creation of a tariff wall between this country and the dominion. Gov. Hughes took' advantage of the occasion to pay another tribute to President Taft. He also, amid great enthusiasm, demanded that public servants, unfaithful to their trusts, should be turned out of office. Chicago.--In a speech before the Chicago Traffic club during the St. Patrick's Day's celebration in this city Thursday, President Taft devoted a portion of his remarks to the rail­ roads and the law. It was in acknowledgement of his election as an honorary member of the club and in the course of bis ad­ dress the chief executive said: "I am against railroads only when they violate the law. But every man must have his day in court. I would be a coward if I did not consider every Interest affected before passing upon legislation. I am not afraid of the people of the United States. They are fair when you can get the facts before them. But sometimes it is difficult to do this. "it seems to be in the minds of some gentlemen in responsibility that the people who are to be con­ sulted are not those directly affected. That if in the recommendation of leg­ islation affecting railroads, you ven­ ture to consult railroad men that It is enough to condemn all the legislation which you recommend. "Time was In this country when it was most difficult for any railroad man to conduct his business within the law. I worked to bring it about so that he may conduct his business within the law, and so that the law shall be fair, but so that he shall be made to feel the penalty of the law when he steps outside of it "I believe there Is a course, and I believe there is legislation that we may have that can bring that about, and I hope that I may be always able, no matter what the result to me, to do justice between the great interests of this country--the people, the shippers and the railroads; that business may go on, that we shall all be within the law and that every man shall see that it is to his ultimate advantage to up­ hold that law and preserve It and make it inviolate." NORRIS MAY BE-» SENATOR NEBRA8KAN LEADER 6F FIGHT ON CANNON REVIEWS RESULT. Girl Found Bound to Poet. New York. -- In an apartment house cellar, Veronica Mueller, a 15-year-old errand girl, was found un­ conscious but upright, bound to a metal pillar. She had been attacked.

The girl says she was decoyed Into the cellar by a chauffeur. Think* Triumph of "Insurgents" Will Aid Republican Party and Fad& r tate Legislation In -House. Washington. -- George R. Norris, the "insurgent" who led the fight against Cannon, has come out of the row in the house with a good chance of succeeding Elmer J. Burkett as senator from Nebraska. Mr. Nor­ ris issued this statement after tho battle was over: "The change In the rules of the house is in the Interest of repreeentar tive government. It takes dictational power from the speaker and places at the command of the house oppor­ tunity to have brought forth from committees for consideration legisla­ tive matters in which any representa­ tive number of members of the house are interested. "An enlarged committee necessarily means a broader appreciation of the true sentiment of the country, and of all its sections. Ten men from ten sections of the country have a more perfect appreciation of the desires of the country in legislative matters than one man from one section. "Mark you, I have held that the speaker as chairman of the committee on rules dominated that committee. The speaker as a member of the house represents a single district no larger than my district; not so large a territory, nor so diversified in in* terest as many other districts repre­ sented. Therefore, his viewpoint of legislation needs is likely to be re> s trie ted. But, because he is speaker he dominates to the disadvantage of the entire house membership and the injury of the country. This needed correction. "My fight was not against Cannon; it was against Cannon's control of the committee on rules, and the Injustices likely to flow therefrom. With the as­ sistance of others who believed with me that the power of the speaker should be curbed and restricted and through Democratic aid, we have won. I am making no warfare on the Re­ publican party. I am a Republican, working for party success. I believe what we Republicans ha*e done will make for party success." PEACE TERMS ARE REJECTED Sub-Committees of Philadelphia War* ring Factions Reach Agreement But Employes Turn It Down. Philadelphia, Pa. -- An agree­ ment was reached between the rep­ resentatives of the Rapid Transit Company and the striking street car men as a basis for the termination of the car strike.

The Ill-fated train was being backed toward Waterloo by two engines, and was goings at a high rate of speed, making up time. The, train was en route from Chi­ cago via West Liberty and Cedar Rapids to St. Paul. Upon arriving at Cedar Rapids, the crew learned that a freight wreck had occurred at Shells- burg, a few miles north. Accordingly, the train was detoured over the Great Western tracks to Marshalltown. After leaving Marshalltown the train, which was composed of ten coaches and the two engines, proceed­ ed to make up lost time and was run­ ning at the rate of thirty-^ve or forty miles an hour. Four miles north of Green Mountain there was a sudden lurch and a mo­ ment later the entire train had left the tracks and lay a splintered mass of wreckage and twisted iron and steel at the bottom of a small embank­ ment. It is believed that a defective rail was the cause of the catastrophe. The sudden Impact caused a Pullman sleeper to telescope the smoking car, driving the sleeper clear through the car. The smoker in turn telescoped the woman's day coach. In these two cars the loss of life was appalling, there being 80 passengers in the wom­ an's coach. The scenes that followed the wreck were awful. As fast as possible the dead were taken from the wreckage by the survivors and laid out in rows close to the track. * An Interview with Dr. Devry of Chicago, a passenger on the ill-fated train, says he was the first man to enter the wrecked cars. He states that for fully a minute after the acci­ dent you could hear a pin drop. The first removed was Prof. Parrish, who has since died. Dr. Devry says that all passengers worked like Trojans. A great many of the bodies were dis­ emboweled and dismembered. Shipwrecks Qpst 225 Lives.
