RULES CHANGED PREPARE
FOR CONTEST.

Washington, March "a reception
to new members of congress by the
republican congressional committee
Friday at which it is understood
Speaker Cannon will be present, is
one of the latest developments in the
maneuvres preliminary to the fight on

house meets next Monday. The So
called insurgents also are preparing a
preliminary move. Representative
Davis of Minnesota yesterday de
clared that the plan for obtaining
changes in the rules includes the
bringing about of a deadlock on the
election of speaker through the scat
tering of votes by insurgents.
Other insurgents, however, declare
that there win be no fight against
Mr.. Cannon, but that their efforts are
to be concentrated on a plan to vote
down the motion for the usual preyi-
GUS question on the motion to adopt

NELSON CONTINUES
To FIGHT RULES
WITH OTHER INSURGENTS VS.
ITS PRESIDENT TO TALK
MATTER OVER.
TAFT siDE-sTEPs AND WILL NOT
INTERFERE IN THE
MlX-UP.

Washington, March 10.-President
Taft was given an opportunity yes
terday to declare himself on the in
surgent" movement to revise the
house rules. automatically he side
stepped announcing how he stood.
Representative Payne of New York,
chairman of the committee on ways
and means, sought the support of Mr..
Taft for the existing order of things,
and the insurgent case was advocated
| by Representatives Gardner of Massa-
chusetts, Madison of Kansas and Mel
son of Wisconsin.
The visit of the "insurgent'' delega-
| rion to the executive offices consumed
most OF the afternoon. The three
l"insurgents" heard it charged that
Mr. Taft intended to join hands with
the house orgs Aviation in the inter
est of getting the tariff bill through
as soon as possible Greatly dis
turbed by these reports, they hurried
TO take a soft seat on the fence and
leave the fighting to them. When
they came out of the executive Offices
Mr.. Gardner declared with an exhibit
ton of confidence that the "insur-
gents" were no longer in a compro-
missing mood.
1--WE are firmly impressed that Mr.
Taft is not opposed to a change of
the rules said Mr.. Gardner 'but is a
little fearful contest now would
cross the line and interfere with the
passage of the tariff BILL
An effort was made by Mr.. Madl-
son to show that there is no such
danger in the fight they are conduct
ing. He said he had told Mr. Taft
that he and his colleagues were not
disposed to interfere with the contin-
uance of the present ways and means
committee, and that he thought he
, could promise no objection would be
made to the continuance of old COM
mittees on any subjects the president
feels inclined to ask legislation on at
The present session.
Another promise made by the in
surgent" delegation was that they
would not filibuster against legisla-
ton if they made their fight and lost
They argued that the fight could be
brought to an end in one day. BY
these conciliatory promises Mr.. Madi
son said he did not mean that the
fight would be abandoned if lost now.
He said the insurgents" would wait,
however, until the proper time to re-
new it.
Mr.. Payne was with the president
only few minutes. When he left
the white house he said that he told
Mr. Taft that the tariff bill would be
ready TO report the first day of the
session, but that he could not
prophesy what would happen if the
present, chaotic conditions in the
house were to continue.
No announcement was made at the
white house concerning the confer
ence and nothing was given out about
the first meeting of the cabinet yes

THE FORGING OF THE BIG GUN.
~MITH, the foreman In charge Of
~ the Sommers gun, was raging
~ drunk.
He Aurched up and down In
front Of the furnaces. cursing the men,
driving them here and there. making
all manner OF confusion. apparently
without reason. C'Leary. his assistant
had done his best to quiet the half
crazed foreman. O'Leary and every
man on the job knew that the Som
mers gun was In grave danger OF be
ing ruined Ii had been scheduled to
go into the furnace at o'clock. but
Smith shortly after noon had lurched
In, called his men together and showed
the gun into the furnace three hours
ahead of time. Now 1t was nearly
midnight. and unless the gun came out
shortly every man knew that II would
be completely ruined. II must come
out, be brought TO the proper tempera-
ture and then thrust into the tempering
bath-a thousand gallons OF oil
The last time Smith had been in
charge OF the job he had put a gun
into the bath at too high temperature

and very important piece Of work
At the casting of the Rhinestrom gun
Pinckney himself had taken complete
charge. staying In the furnace room
until all the work was finished. and
the marked difference In the handling
of the two jobs had not escaped some
of the shrewder wOrkmen.

The men had taken O'leary's view
Of the matter and vsrp doing all they
could to make this job success.
SommerS during his stay about the
works had bpcOme tremendously pOpu-
lar They wanted to do their best
for him: also 0'Leary expected In
the fall to marry Lucy Smith. the fore
mans daughter. and therefore he had
an interest in putting the job through
right
Sommers was to come down about
l 80 In the morning. when the gun was
expected to go into the tempering bath
That was the important work. and he
was determined to superintend II
However. with Smith putting the gut
In three hours ahead Of time there
seemed every chance that unless Som

In vain O'Leary pleaded with Smith
to do something about the gun.
ITS been In too long already.

ruin this job? Who'll take care of
you when you ruin another gun?
You'll be down and out for good"
The foreman. swaying from side to
side, looked at his assistant with n
drunken leer
