Former Speaker Is Reelected For Another Term Amid
 Brilliant Scenes
WILLIAM ]. BRYAN MEETS
 WITH WARM RECEPTION
Sharp Debate Occurs Upon Adoption of Rules for the House Which
 Is Settled By Strictly
 Party Vote,

Washington, December "A brilliant scene characterized the meeting of the Sixteth Congress today. Tn the Senate and House of Representatives galleries there were notable gatherings of oirlciais and society of the capitol. The coming to- gether for the first time of the men who have been elected to the Senate and the House about 100 of whom have not before served in Congress, made the occasion one of particular interest. The striking scenes of the day were in the Houes or Representatives. where the formal se- lection of Joseph G. Cannon to again be speaker of that body, and the deslBna- ton by the democrats of John sharp Williams as their leader were occasions for ovatons to those gentlemen. Tho house ring, with the cheers of republicans and democrats for their leaders, and the speaker received as warm reception from members of the minority as he did from his own party.
 The appearance of Hon. William Jen- nings Bryan on the floor of the house also was the occasion for enthusiastic cheer ing by the Democrats. When the adop- ton of rules for the government of the House during the Sxtieth Congress came up, the rules of the last Congress were opposed by John Sharp Williams. and he was joined in the opposition by demo- crats and by a single republican, MT. Cooper of Wisconsin. The old rules were declared to be too autocratic, placing too much power in the hands of the Speaker. but after somewhat acrimonious discus sion they were adopted by party vote. Committees were appointed by both houses to inform the President that Con gress had met and was ready to receive any message he might wish to communi- cate.
 New Senators and Representatives were sworn in and both houses adjourned out of respect to tke memory of members
 who died during lthe recess of Congress

ENGINEER KILLED
 IN DERAILMENT
SOUTHERN RAILWAY TRAIN JUMPS TRACK NEAR AKRON AND COACHES ARE BADLY SHAT. TERED.

Selma, December 2.-(Speclsl.) 1.-The de- railment of Southern passenger train No. 12 between Akron and Selma, at lo;l5 o'clock tonight is believed to have been the work of train wreckers. The wreck occurred q short distance from the 27 mile post, about d mile and half below Marion.
 As the result of the deralment En- gineer Frank H. Little, Sr., Is dead, and Tim Bradley, negro fireman, is very seriously injured. Fortunately none of the rest of the train crew or the pas sengers were seriously injured
 It is believed beyond doubt that the wreck was the result of tho work of train wreckers. All of the spikes were drawn for the entire length of one rai and the fish plates were removed at both ends of the section. leaving the rail en- tirely loose, but still in place.
 Engineer Frank H. Little, who was run ming the wrecked engine. was one of the oldest men in the service of the Southern railroad He lived in Selma and recently had a run into Birmingham. He was formerly a member of the Selma City Council and was prominently known. He was about 60 years old.

THAW TRIAL GOES
 OVER TO JANUARY
PRISONER DOESN'T WANT POST PONEMENT, BUT ASKS FOR lM- MEDIATE TRIAL, WHICH JE- ROME REFUSES.

New York. December 2.--On motion of District Attorney Jerome the sec ond trial of Harry K. Thaw for the killing of Stanford White in Madison Square roof garden in June, 1906, to- day was postponed until Monday, Jan uary 6. A special panel of three hun dred talesmen will report that day for jury duty. Thaw was not brought into the court room but was allowed to stand in the corridor leading from the prisoners room at the rear and had an unobstructed view of the proceedings. His wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. was the only member of the prisoners family present She looked much better than she did a year ago. Her face Is plump now and there is a touch of healthy color in her checks. She seemed in higher spirits today.
 The proceedings came up before Jus tice Bowling in the supreme court The defendant was represented by his new counsel. Martin w. Littleton, and Dan iel OReilly and Russell Peabody, who served throughout the first trial. MT. Littleton opposed the delay and on be- half of the defendant demanded the right of speedy trial.
 Mir. Jerome requested the delay on account of the difficulty that would be met in securing jury. with the possi- bility of being locked up over the -holi days staring each talesman in the face. It was necessary. he said. for the protection of the interests of the public and of the defendants counsel that the jury should be kept in custody throughout the trial. Justice Bowling said that while he favored speedy trial he believed time and /expense would be saved by putting the case or to the first Monday in January.

Pooling for Railroads.

Washington, December 2.-Representa- lives Cooper of Wisconsin and Lowering of Massachusetts saw the President to- gether. and on leaving the White House both agreed that an effort would be made at the present session of Congress to pass legislation authorizing the rail- roads to arrange pools Mir. Cooper said that to compel the railroads to compete with each other and at the same time have the government fix the rate was con- tradictory and ridiculous. His plan was to allow the railroads to pool and have the government supervision of the pool ing agreements with an ultimate appeal to the court of the United States.
