Especial Washington Correspondence
! Washington, March PA fight
which contains serious possibility of
| the defeat of Cannon for speaker of
the next congress is brewing. Cannon
referred to the committee on judiciary
the bill for a revision of the anti trusts
an administration bill. and the judici-
ary committee is absolutely certain to
pigeonhole and smother it.
Hepburn and his committee are mad
clear thru. Hepburn called on the
president, discussed the matter and af-
terward issued an interview roasting
the Judiciary committee and intimat-
ing that the reference was designated
to kill the bill. Later in the day it was
learned that members OF the inter-
state commerce committee are round
ing up the house and polling it with
reference TO a resolution to change the
reference. A member of the committee
said:
Il believe the resolution will be
brought in and that it will carry We
have great number of pledges of sup
port. The judiciary committee has
lot of big questions before it now

Appalachian forest reserve and the
Littletield liquor bill. and has done
nothing with any of them. 1t would get
this bill only with the sure result of
killing it."
1t was fully expected and intended
the bill should go to the interstate
commerce committee. Indignation is
high aud the president is known to
sympatliZe with the insurgents and il
is freely predicted that If the speaker
should be turned down by the house in
matter of such Importance. it would
mark the end of his career. and that a
new man would be elected speaker of
the next congress. The suggestion of
Hepburn for that place has been rife
in case he leads the fight on Cannon
He has long been an insurgent against
the ReedHenderson- Cannon rules.

but she dashed down and reached the
street just as the stairway fell. Her
