and when they do, let them remember

PRODUCES HOUSE QUORUM
Speaker Applies Reed Rule as
Republicans Are Mapping

WASHINGTON, April s.-Three times
today in the house the democrats
caught the republicans mapping and
forced them to produce q quorum On
one other occasion a vote by tellers
disclosed the absence of a quorum. but
Speaker Cannon peremptorily applied
the Reed rule and secured q quorum.
In doing so he had a brief but lively
clash with Williams.
Notwithstanding repeated roll calls
progress was made in the transaction
of public business. Both the army and
the fortifcations appropriation bills
were sent to the conferences; the senate
bill to increase the efficiency of the rev.
enue cutter service was, with demo-
cratic help, passed, and the bill to pro-
mote the safe transportation in inter-
state commerce of explosives was con-
sidered. 1t will be finally disposed of
tomorrow.
The democrats prevented the adop-
tion of the conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill and caused
it to be sent back to conference
