in the exercises which marked one of
the most important events in the his
tory of the District of Columbia than
did the members of this body of veteran
citizens. Scores of the men who have
devoted years of their lives to the up
building of the Capital city were seated
in the audience while still others had
places on the platform and took an active
part in the program and in the Commits
sioners' reception which followed.
Only one accident threatened for an In
slant to mar the occasion. Quick action
by the police and by members OF the
committee who were nearby prevented
possibly serious injury to one or more
persons.
The last two of the salute of twenty.
one guns to be fired from the roof OF
the building as the flag was raised were
in the form of bombs carrying paper par
achutes. from each of which vas sus-
pended a large paber flag. The throng
was cheering wildly as the flags unfurled
high i'm air. Then there was a cry OF
warning. and general scampering to
places of safety. One OF the heavy caps
from the casing of the last bomb fell just
as the seats were cleared. smashing to
pieces as il struck the chairs and the
board flooring a few feet away from the
speakers stand.
An unexpected adjunct to the celebra-
ton was the distribution of unlimited
numbers of pasteboard fans. each cut
and printed i'm red. white and blue in
imitation of the shield of the United
States On the backs of the fans were
printed the words of the first verses OF
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" and Amer
lea" +. II. Droop announced the vari-
Gus patriotic songs in the program and
led a special chorus in singing them.
On the platform surrounded by the Dis
trict Commissioners was a group of Of
ficials from other cities. Among the
number We're J. Barry Mahool. mayor Of
Baltimore: Carlton Mccarthy. mayor OF
Richmond. Va. and John y. McCaskey,

OPPOSED BY CANNON'S FRIENDS
RESOLUTION REGARDING HOUSE
OF COMMONS RULES.
Gardner Proposition Referred to
subcommittee Of Foreign Az
fairs Committee.

There was quite a row in the House
committee on foreign affairs today when
the resolution introduced Tuesday by
Representative Gardner of Massachusetts
asking the State Department to furnish to
the House statement of the progress
that is being made toward revising the
rules of the British house of commons
was taken up for consideration. The res
clution was urged by Representative
Butler Ames of Massachusetts,, g. repub-
lican, and Representative Keliher of the
same state, a democrat, both of whom are
members of the foreign affairs commit
tee.
Speaker Cannon has number of friends
on the foreign affairs committee, and
they objected strenuously to a favorable
report on the resolution. According to
all reports-the session was an executive
one-they objected for no particular rea-
son than that they did not consider the
resolution was necessary or particularly
pertinent.
1t is understood that there were some
warm passages before Messrs. Ames and
keliher, being unable to obtain favorable
action, managed to have the resolution
referred to a subcommittee.
Representative Gardner, the author of
the resolution, is the leader of the House
insurgents who desire radical changes in
the rules and who will hold a meeting to-
night, at some place yet unknown, to talk
things over.
