HOUSE DECLARES
KNOX ELIGIBLE

Washington, Feb. 15.-By vote OF
173 to III the house today passed the
bill removing the bar to Senator
Kuox's eligibility for the office OF
secretary of state. This was the see
ond vote Of the day on this measure
and the two were separated only by
about two hours time. The first
vote was taken on the bill under gen
eral order for the suspension Of the
rules, and under that order, accord
ing to the standing rules of the
house, a bill must receive two-third>
majority TO insure its passage. The
first vote stood 175 to 123, the ma
jomty thus falling considerably below
.i':e two-thirds requirement.
