coed Mr.. Hooker, resigned. Repre-
sentative Henderson of Iowa. presented
the following resolution which served
as a text for all the discussion of the
evening:
Resolved that committee of II

resentatives, who are members of the
56th Congress. shall be appointed by
the chairman of the caucus, for the
purpose OF considering monetary legis-
lation. and submitting their recon-

the first session Of the 56th Congress.
with authority to confer with like
committee from the Senate"
The discussion on this resolution
proceeded with much animation for
more than an hour. There was but
little difference of opinion on the main
point, that it would be futile to at
tempt financial legislation at this late
day in the present session. Mr.. Hen
derson made strong speech in sup
port of the plan embodied in his reso-
luton and pointed out the advantage
of having this important subject COM
| mitted to body serving both in this
Congress and the next representing
the various sections of the country. and
as far as possible it's diverse business
and economic interests.
Mr. Cannon questioned the wisdom of
the resolution although ne said he
would not oppose it with his vote, He
expressed the strong belief. however.
that the present prosperity Of the Jcoun-
try made 1t expedient to enter upon f.
nancial discussions. He said he did
not think any financial legislation
could he carried through until after
the next Presidential election.
Mr. Payne did not coincide with Mr..
Cannon's objections and strongly fav-
ored the proposed plan of committing
the entire financial question to a cau-
Gus committee. Mr.. Payne expressed
the belief that such measure. conser-
vative and intelligent. could be passed
very early in the next session OF Con-
gress. and probably during the winter
months
The other speeches were substantial

ence being given to the plan Of a eau

the names of the members of the new
finance committee would not be an
nounced at present as some time would
be consumed to learn the wishes of
members concerning the hard work
likely to be involved in this service and
also to make up strong organization,
thoroughly representative in character.
At 10 o'clock. the caucus adjourned.

HIS GUN HAND SHOOK.
a Narrow Escape From an Old Negro
CompaniOn's Wrath

Ralph Thomas and Terry T. Brown are
old colored men who have been occupying
"a house at 1711 Twentieth Street north
west. Thomas claims to be eighty years
of age. while Brown says he is ten years
younger. The men have lived happily to-
gether for some time and would probably
have continued so had 1t not been for an
argument which occurred about s o'clock
last night, and during which the question
arose as to who had the better right to oc-
cupy the premises. Thomas ordered Brown
from the house. Brown had his ideas of
the right OF possession and refused to
comply. The refusal enraged Thomas to
such an extent that he procured revolver
and fired three shots at his fellow tenant
Fortunately the old mans hand was un-
steady. and his aim poor, and none OF the
shots took effect. The noise of the shots
attracted the attention of Policemen O'Day
and Quill. OF the Eighth precinct. and
they placed both men under arrest.
