Il am now ready for the oath
Deafening applause greeted the Speaker
as he concluded. The oath was then ad-
ministered by Representative Bingham of
Pennsylvania, 1.-The Father of the House, "
and, in turn the Speaker administered
the oath to- the members. who lined up
in front of his desk in groups of twenty
five.
House Officials, Greeted.
Messrs. Butler of Pennsylvania and Cox
of New York, having conscientious scru-
Piles against the taking of oaths, "aftirm-
ed their allegiance to, the government.
The republican and democratic caucus ap-
pointments of House officials. then were
presented by Messrs. Hepburn 0owa) and
Clayton (Alabama), respectively. with the
result that the nominees of the republic
cans were elected and qualified.
The usual resolutions appointing COM
mittees to notify the Senate and President
that the House was in session. were
passed, and the Speaker named Messrs.
Payne (New York;, Tawney (Minnesota)
and Williams (MississippD as the COM
mittee to advise the President.
The first fight of the session was inaug-
urated by Representative Williams, who
protested against the adoption of reso-
luton making the rules of the last House
the governing laws of the present House:
Mr. Williams declared that he thought
there was entirely too much power con-
centrated in the hands of the Speaker.
To the surprise of those present and the
delight of the democrats, Representative
Cooper (Wisconsin) expressed his ap-
proval of what Mr.. Williams had said.
Mr.. Cooper insisted that the power given
the Speaker was both unrepublican and
undemocratic. He caused general amuse-
ment by referring to his unsuccessful ef-
forts in the past to get recognition from
the Speaker or the committee on rules.

Double gaveled detonations
sounded promptly on the stroke
of IL today at the wide-winged
Capitol pile on the hill. and
the Sixtieth Congress flashed
into existence. In the Senate
Vice President Fairbanks, with
customary lack of violence, tapped
the sounding board, while in the
House Clerk Mcdowell awoke the
echoes with half a dozen crashing,
all-compelling slams. Then a bit
of quiet, prayers by the chaplains,
and resumption in both cham
bers of the hum of the tempo
rarily discontinued conversation
of the chosen reunited.
In both Senate and House the
galleries, private and public, were
crowded to the doors, and outside
in the corridors long lines of the
patient, but improvident, stood
ticketless, awaiting the exit of
the hopelessly bored. Lots of
folks who had carefully saved
blank Senate and House gallery
tickets from last year to cum
ningly fill them IN for this grand
opening day were destined to be
disappointed, as only special bits
of pasteboard were honored by
the doorkeepers. And quite a
while before the fruitful noon mo-

new Congress was scheduled the

member of this House, said MMr. De
Almond.
Speaker Cannon declared that Mr.. Dali
zell had the foor and Mr.. De sArmond re-
luctantly received at Mr. Dalzelrs hands
twenty minutes time to attack the rules.
Mr.. De Almond asked the members why
they desired to enslave themselves under
such rules. 1T is proposed 70 shackie the
House by rules about which a good many
know nothing and a good many others
know a great DEAL he said.
Now was the time to change the rules
SO that members las towards and
cravens need not go back to their homes
and defend themselves upon the mere
miserable preteXt that these rules had
controlled them and they could do moth
ing else.
Speaker Cannon Responds.
Another unusual incident occurred at
this stage Of the proceedings Mr. Dali
zell was asked by Speaker Cannon to
withhold demand for the previous ques-
ton. and the Speaker, talking from the
rostrum, proceeded to defend the preroga-
tives of the chair and to controvert the
proposition that the Speaker exercised
tyrann1cal power. Mr.. Cannon insisted
that the Speaker of the House is the serv-
ant of the House, and it is at any time
within the power of the House to select a
successor to the Speaker who should tran
scend his authority.
When special orders are brought in they
cannot be vitalized until a ma iority of
the House wills it.
Mr.. DeArmond interrupted to suggest
that he had observed instances where the
Speaker had not yielded to the wishes
OF the majority of the House. The Speaker
replied that in his opinion Mr.. DeArmond
was mistaken and that the majority was
always recognized.
Mr.. Dalzell then came to the rescue
and relieved the situation. which threat
ened to drift into a dialogue between
the. Speaker and members of the mi
nority, by demanding the previous ques-
ton Minority Leader Williams in
sisted uDon taking a, vote on the de-
mand for the previous question.
The vote on this motion was 199 to
100. and the previous question Was or
dered.
Mr.. Williams then demanded a yea
and nay vote on the resolution.
The vote resulted: 1917 yeas, 100 noes

tered above both history making

In both Senate and House de-
tails of organization were first
considered. In the upper branch
OF the National legislature, which
is continuing body, no formal
organization was necessary, and
after the swearing in Of new
members and some other routine
business official notice was given
of the deaths OF Senators Morgan
and Pettus. and adjournment out
of respect was had until tomor-
row. Senators Owen and Gore
of Oklahoma were not sworn in,
the Senate declining, to recognize
their gubernatorial appointments
and condemning them to wait for
their togas until the legislature of
the new state shall appoint them
in due form.
In the House all members were
sworn in, Speaker Cannon and

caucus-chosen, were formally
elected and, the regular new-Con-

MANY CHEERS FOR CANNON
GREAT ENTHUSIASM FOLLOWS
THE SPEAKERS ELECTION.
Fight Made on the Adoption of the
House Rules Of the Last
Congress.

Today's opening session of the House
was real record breaker. Enthusiasm
was unrestrained. racket unfettered, there
were more spectators in the galleries and
would-be spectators in the corridors than
In many years, and the number of bills
thrown into the hopper was something
near 1000.
The bill clerks of the House just made
this guess offhand. They started in to
work at II o'clock this morning and at
? o'clock this afternoon had hardly made
a dent in the great pile of embryo leg:s-
lation.
Years gone by brought about the same
scene that was witnessed on the floor of
the House today. But this opening day,
In common with others since Speaker
Cannon has been in the chair, was flow
erless. The only blooms permitted in
the hall were those worn by members
and the only members who took advan-
tage of this were those of the Pennsyl-
vania delegation. VINO were resplendent
behind Mckinley carnations.
1t was a good while before high noon
when the galleries were crowded and the
door to the exits and entrances blocked
by big punches of patient but improvi-
dent people, who had neglected to obtain
tickets of admission. Some canny folks
who had some of the blank gallery tickets
of the regular brand from last year
filled them in and tried to break through
the line today. But they We're disap-
pointed. Special pasteboards were neces-
sary, and even some of those properly
provided for didn't get within sight of the
festivities. But those who did--particu-
/ larly the feminine contingent-were re-
splendent. All the costumes were of the
real openingday -variety--some imported
from Paris. France, and some Paris, Ill
and the hats were all of the skyscra per
many -plumed variety all the rage this
fall. Every time wave of excitement or
interest swept over the galleries the scene
was reminiscent of flock Of nervous
ostriches on the move.
Many Interesting Scenes.
There were some right Interesting scenes
on the floor. Serene Payne, the republi-
can floor leader, plowed up and down the
aisles in his usual graceful manner: John
Dalzell of Pennsylvania, with his head on
one side just as much as ever and his
face just as solemn as of old, shook
hands sedately with friends, and all the
other well-known figures OF the last Con-
gress, with the exception of Gen. Gros-
venor and Chairman Babcock of the
House District committee, were on hand
Jim Tawney of Minnesota was congratu-
lated on every side on account of his fine
color.
Got the jaundice, Jim?" one member
sympatuetically inquired.
Mr.. Tawney looked disgusted and
strolled by. but had gone only few
feet when he turned around and came
back again.

that this color should by rights be a

Number Imprisoned Unknown.

Number imprisoned Unknown.
Al o'clock this morning the exact
number of men entombed in the Naomi
mine Of the United Coal Company, near
Fayette City, Pa, or their condition, was
not known. Between thirty and forty
men are still said to have been caught
by the explosion last night, but so far
only one escaped This man was
foreigner. who reached the surface
through an air shaft and dropped dead
almost Immediately as the result Of in
haling gas fumes.
BY noon today it is thought an entrance
can be effected through the tons of de-
stroyed concrete walls and earth at the
entrance, but it will not be safe to risk
entering the gaseous hole until hours
later. Nearly all the men entrapped are
foreigners and worked under numbers.
Mine Was Shattered.
Mine Inspector Henry Loutitt gave out
the following statement today:
ut is impossible to say just what caused
the explosion. The mine was remarkably
such thing. Gas is likely to be found
in the most unexpected places. The force
"s :ae explosion was terrific, and can
not think that any man in the Naomi
mine escaped with his life.
''Tha mine was practically shattered,
and I believe we will eventually find
thousands Of tons of earth blocking the
way to the entombed miners. We have
been unable to get into the mine to any
great Instance; 100 yards has been about
the limit.
Working for Rescue.
Not more than thirty men were work
ing in the mine at the time of the explo-
sion so far as can estimate" said Super
intendent J. D. O'Nel of the Naomi mine
today. II have received but meager par
ticulars of the disaster myself and base
my estimate of the number of men there
by the usual working card which We ordi-
narily follow.
The men are working heroically to save
their comrades. Mine Inspector Henry
Loutitt was on the ground Immediately
after the explosion and organized a relief
corps. He soon brought order out of
chaos and divided his men into crews
hours each. In this way we will be able
to make the best progress possible under
the circumstances. keep the work up and
at the same time save the resources of
the rescuerS.'
Crowd at the Pit.

mouth of the shaft despite the cold Mine
superintendents of all the mines along the
Monongahela river volunteered their help
in the work of rescue. Their efforts, how
ever, were impeded by the throng of
relatives and friends of the entombed

and cried out in agony Of their loved ones
