BOATNER'S SCHEME
The Louisiana Congressman Has q
Plan to Stop Filibustering In
the House
without Resorting to Quorum Count
ing-Would Make Not Voting
Contempt.
Hcuse Caucus Finally Decided to
SNAdopt Reeds Rule and Count
Noses.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Representa-
tive Boatnar of Louisiana, who has been
absent from this city with the jenkins
investigating committee, did not reach
here in time to attend the Democratic
caucus. On learning of the action taken
he expressed regret that he had not been
able to attend. He had In fact contem.
plated Offering at the frst opportunity a
rule which he believed would obviate
the necessity Of counting quorum, and
at the same time effectually prevent
filibustsring without resorting TO the
undignified method Of timing members.
"Under the rules that would offer, "
said Mr.. Boatner. .'any member of the
house who, being present, refuses to
vote, not having, OF course, o pecuniary
interest in the legislation under consid-
GRAFTON, would be declared in contempt.
This would deprive him of the right to
make motion, 10 object or In fact to
be recognized by the chair. / would
have him remain in contempt
until the house saw fit by vote
10 remove his disability. It ID
not difficult thing TO compel the at
tendance Of members. The rules. ii
enforced, already provide for that.
Under this rule fibnstering would be
impossible after d single attempt had
been made. The minority might leave
man or two In good standing to make
motions, but they couid not leave
enough 20 call for tho ayes and mays. OF
conduct other obstructive tactics. The
members who went voluntarily into
contempt would be then under the &C 4.
troll OF the house, which could remove
the disability when and in whatsvel
manner ID saw fit."
Representative Boatner wiil attempt
TO have his rule considered by the com.
mittee before IL makes report.
