ably Volstead of the seventh district,
are ,sl3s In sympathy withthe ca.lnon
rule. Miller of Duluth, Adam Bede's
successor, though elected on an anti.
Cannon pledge, voted for "Uncle Joe. "
Cannon found little difficulty in Sc.
curing reelection, though before the
assembling of congress the ''insurg.
ents" claimed they had the strength
to defeat him. When 1t came to the
question of adopting the old rules OF
the house, there was trouble for the
Cannon men, for the insurgents
would not stand for the rules. The
rules will now be revised and the in
dications are that the average mem
ber on the floor of the house will have
better chance to secure legislation
in which he is interested.
Hon. Frank NJ. Eddy of this city,
who served for eight years in the low.
er house of congress, while discussing
Cannon and the house rules in The
Herald office on Wednesday, expressed
the opinion that the trouble is not
with Cannon but with the rules. A
majority of the house, says Mr.. Eddy,
can get a measure through the house
in spite of the speaker. The speaker
he claims, is simply the agent of the
house and carries out the will of the
majority. Mr.. Eddy cited case in
which he Eddy secured the passage
of measure through congress when
it was opposed by the speaker and the
interior department. He simply got
a majority of the house to favor the
measure. Mr.. Eddy says Mr.. Cannon
is honest and sincere and is not the
ogre that he has been represented te
be and which the public generally con
slider him. The disrepute into which
Mr.. Cannon has fallen in the estima
tion of thu public, says Mr.. Eddy, is
due to the rules and not to Mr.. Can
non himself.
The special session of congress, call
ed by President Taft to consider the
tariff, met on Monday. The following

The reading of the message elected
applause. The message is as follows

BAD DAY FOR A FIRE
Department Makes a Hard Fight in
Cold Wedther-lOss in Neigh
b0rhOOd of $500

Fire Tuesday afternoon damaged the
residence of Peter Stromberg, west of
the Great Northern tracks, to the ex-
tent of $500 or more, and inflicted adj
ditional loss upon the furniture.
The fire broke out in the kitchen,
and the flames, famed by a fierce
north wind that was blowing, drove
the flames into the main part of the
building and caused hard two hours
fight by the department before they
were subdued.
The department responded prompt
ly to the alarm but had long, hard
run to reach the scene of the fire.
The branch line passenger train was
in the way, and the department was
delayed in laying the hose for five
minutes or more. The nearest .hy-
drant was at the Simonton corner, and
hose had to be laid fully two blocks to
reach the burning house. The house
being on side hill, was surrounded by
ice for half or block or more, where
the water had run down the hill and
frozen. On one side of the house was
a large puddle of water frozen over
but the ice was thin and many of the
tiremen broke through and had to
stand in the water nearly up to their
knees part of the time while fighting
the fire. There was barb wire fence
on one side of the house and this lad
to be cut before the chemical engine
could be hauled near enough to the
house to be put into play. The ice
was plentiful and slippery and the
firemen was greatly hampered in their
work.
Notwithstanding these obstacles,
however, the department got to work
in remarkably short space of time
and stream of water from the n.y.
drant assisted by the chemical soon
made difference. 1t was soon seen
that the kitchen must 60. The roof
was destroyed and nothing left of the
addition but mere shell that was
badly damaged by fire and water.
The fire spread to the main part of
the building, getting in between the
walls and under the rafters and with
the gale blowing it was very difficult
matter to fight the fire. But the de-
partment was busy and used excellent
judgment and though they had to
fight every inch of the way under the
most discouraging circumstances they
obtained the mastery. Itwas nasty,
hard, nerve-racking fight lasting fully
two hours in near-zero temperature.
When the flames were finally ex-
Itinguished it was found that the
building had sustained damages from
fire and water to the extent Of at least
five hundred dollars. In addition to
this the furniture and belongings of
the family had been damaged to quite
an extent. Part of the furniture was
taken out, but the smoke was so thick
in the main part of the house as to
make it next to impossible to save
some of the things. Everything in
the kitchen, where the fire started,
was destroyed. In the cellar were
stored quite quantity of vegetables
and other supplies, all of which were
a loss, as the cellar was filled with
water. ~
The house was insured for $1,000,
which viii amply cover the loss Of the
structure. There was no insurance on
the furniture.
Mr.. Stromberg was away from home
at the time.

Now, what was Senator Peterson's
offense? 1t consisted in the fact that
a capable and efficient state official
