New York, March IA Washington
special to The Press says:
There Is great indignation among Re-
publicans Of the House because Speaker
Henderson. 1t 10 alleged. Is deliberately
holding up the appointment OF tho
committe authorized by the Republican
caucus to take up the question of South
ern representation and elections methods.
An outburst In the House upon tsis sub
ject Is not unlikely II he persists in his
course.
On February II a caucus of Republicans
Of the House without dissenting vote,
adopted the following resolution:
That 1t IL the sense of this caucus
that the Committee on Rules report a
resolution as a substitute for those now
pending before that committee. provid-
ing In substance. that a select commit
tee be appointed by the Speaker consist
ing of eleven members. whose duty II
shall be- and who shall have full and
complete power and authority. to inquire
into the validity of election laws and
the manner OF their enforcement In the
several States, and whether the right to
vote of any male Inhabitants of any State
being q years old and citizens of the
United States, is denied or in any way
abridged. except for crime, and such COM
mittee shall report the results of It's in.

cable"
Speaker Henderson. who controls the
Committee on Rules. has been asked sew
eral times to bring in a rule and appoint
the committee. He has postponed action
from time to time. but II Is now said has
virtually given the advocates of the plan
to understand that he will pigeon-hole
the caucus resolution and ignore the eau
Gus recommendations altogether
Speaker Henderson was responsible for
a great deal of the delay that marked
the effort to secure action in caucus. It
was feared at the time that II the case
were left In his hands he would defeat
the efforts Of the election reformers, but
the leaders in the movement contended
that he would not dare. in the face OF a
unanimous caucus agreement. to 1out the
House. The Speaker APPARENTLY has dared
this very thing.

HEPBURN CANAL BILL.
Mr.. Morgan and His Friends Hope
full of Securing Action.

New YORK, March IA Herald Wasn-
ington special says:
Important developments have cleared
away diplomatic distractions to the Hep
burn canal bill. which passed the House,
and which Senator Morgan favorably re-
ported to the Senate today without
amendment. The bill is now on the Sem
ate calendar. and it's chances Of being
brought to vote during the present ses-
sion are said by its friends to be bet
ter than ever.
Members Of the Senate Steering Com
mittee are not prepared to state at this
time when they will give the bill the
right of way.
Senator Morgan and other friends of the
bill are hopeful that before the session
closes the committee will allow the bill
to come before the Senate for considera-
ton. The mere fact that II may be taken
up for consideration does not insure a
vote upon the bill. There Is no limit TO
debate In the Senate. and ii is understood
that the opponents of the measure are
prepared to go to any extreme 10 defeat
the bill as reported from the committee.
Those who look at the situation from
an impartial standpoint do not anticipate
a fair and square vote on the canal sub
isct during this session. They say that
an Indefinite proposition, which is prac-
tically a postponement. may he brought
forward as A compromise measure
