WASHINGTON, Dec. Zo.-lne Demo-
cratic section OF the house this morn
ing was early flied with members on
whose faces there were looks of anxious
expectancy and curiosity. Little groups
gathered here and there, discussing the
probabilities and possibilities of COM
mittee completion. Although great
deal of credence was placed in the pre-
dictions heretofore made by the press,
there was general feeling of uncer-
tainty which could be dispelled only
bv the official announcement by the
speaker.
Soon after the house convened the
speaker announced the members of the
committees as appointed by him. The
reading Of the assignments was listened
to with attention without any mani
festation of approval or disapproval.
Meredith OF Virginia announced the
death of his predecessor, Lee, and as
mark OF respect the house adjourned
to meet January 9th.
SPEAKER CRISP WORN OUT.
Immediately on the adjournment OF
the house the speaker went to the
Metropolitan hotel and went to bed.
He is Frustrated and worn out by his
arduous labors. and at the same time is
suffering with heavy cold. A few days
rest, it is hoped, will restore his health.
