said he believed the consensus was In
favor Of closing general debate and
that an order was not necessary. He

Pes Csetieises Clark.
Evidently referring to Mr.. Clark
tF1a.). Mr.. Pou en-. Co.. said that
any man who supported the bill be-
longed on the Republican side. He
likened Mr.. Clark to the Arab chief
who had surrsndsred his companions
for part of the booty.
Remarkinr that he placed his patri-
otism above seifishness. Mr.. cushman
wash defended the special order.
He warned the members against put

the baimy resorts of the South. where
they spent their winters.
Confident that the tariff was to be
revised by Its friends" he asserted,
this Capitol has seen q complete ABB
sence Of the great magnates represent
Ing the combined corporate wealth in
the United States"
He declared he spoke In behalf OF the
great consuming public.
4 Calling attention to what he said
were the 5okers In the bill, Mr.. Randell
(Texas) said that every hour saved
under the rule would cover up some
nefarious scheme. The bill, he charg-
ed. was full Of fraud and deception.
MT. Fordney (Mich.) caused a stir
when he asserted that the Representa-
tiyes from Kansas and iowa ARE not
even good protecfionists. They were,
he said. demanding protection to the
industries Of their State and free trade
on the products Of another State, and
therefore were mo bigger than q fly

would vote for It.

erdfy az to undertake to lay this whole
thing on, Mr.. Cannon" He called at
tention to ''the outrageous raises'' in
hosiery and gloves.
The House. he said, had a right to
say whether steel rails should go on
the free list. He could, ne said. name
hundreds OF other items. He charged
that the delay In bringing In the rule
was for the purpose OF making trades,
Of buildozins and wheeling men on to
the reservation.
Repubiieans Responsible.
Answering all the arguments against
the rule. Chairman Payne declared that
the Republican Party would be resp on
sibie for the bin before the country.
That fact he said. had weighed upon
the bill.
Debate was brought to a close by Mr..
Dalzeil, who insisted that the country
desired action and not talk. He then
moved the previous question, but be-
fore the vote was announced Mr.. Clark
(Mo,) moved to re-commit the rule
ana became involved In Q controversy
with Mr.. Dalzefl and the Speaker over
whether the motion was in order.
Mr.. Clark. amid Democratic applause,
quoted from former decision OF Speak
er Cannon holding that a similar mo-
ton to recommt was In order. In an
elaborate decision, Speaker Cannon held
that the case in question was on an
ordinary rule.
"This Is not an ordinary rule" he
said. and Mr.. Clark's motion was over
ruled.

vision Of the lumber schedule. A snag
was Immediately encountered by Mr..
