one WIN Be Called to Consider Change
fn the House Rules
XVAsHINGroN, Feb. .-Representa-
tive Holman of the Democratic caucus
of She house viii cali a caucus at am
early date to consider q change in the
house rules by which memb beers may be
compelled to vote to make quorum.
The call is ia response to a written
request signed by 10a Democratic
mem bers. The request is the direct
result Of the uproarious demonstration
in che house Thursday
The name Of Mr.. Bland is not 0n the
call. for while he IS severe in depreca-
ting the disorder. he says public Opin-
ion should rebuke those respOusi Bile
for it, and that change OF the rules
Is not desira bile The New 81 orEers
are also an exception to the delega-
tions which have signed the CALL
They are not anxious TO strengthen
the rules and thus increase the chance
Of passage Of a bill such as the one
now pending
Most ST those who have signed are
ready to go to the extent of counting
"a quorum and the only question
among them IS now how the quorum
can be counted without sub5ectIng the
majority to the charge of adopting
what have been termed Reed rules.
Numerous plans for strengthening
the rules are under cOnsid eratlon-
The one most generally approved IS
to provide that the attention Of the
speaker may be directed to the fact
that member Is present and not
voting Thereup0n the speaker may
direct that the member be brought 20
the bar Of the house and his name be
recorded as present, to make q quo
rum It is said this obviates the critl-
cisns Of Reed rule. In the method
of counting a quorum
The proposed rule would be guarded
by the formality Of bringing members
to the bar Of the house where there
would be no question rs TO their
actual presence. The feeling IS so
strong some Democrats are ready to
accept Reed rules on the quorum
question without any excuses or exc
planatlou.

But the Young Lady Did Not Know lit
and There was Scene.
Those little patent affairs which
are the latest in tovdom are destined
to create a great deal Of excitement
along crowded city thoroughfares.
one day last week for instance,
there was a group Of male pedestrians
gathered fla close ranks with craned
necks about a falzir On a Chicago
street.
A fresh-faced. pretty girl in big
hat and a stylish wrap sailed jauntily
down the street, the embodiment of
brave and independent vvomanhood.
This dauntless young woman ell
bowed her way ahead through the
crowd and glanced casually at the
fakir with q little supercilious smile
which included the group of curious
loiterers
Suddenly the group was agitated
and swayed in from the curb, and a
small dark object scurried across the
pavement
tsO-vf@
A distinctly feminine scream smote
the circumambient air and the brave
young woman. her eyes distended by
terror, grabbed at her skirts with
both hands and sprang into the mid
die Of the street, recklessly under the
very nose OF herdie horse. The
herdie driver said something emphatic;
the men on the pavement grinned;
the fakir dangled his patent gray
mouse and expatiated on its resem-
blance to the real thing and the
young woman made q wide circuit of
the fal1ir's corner and dived into the
crowd skurrying down Washington
street
