 SHORN 0F POWER
(Continued From Page D

Norris made the point that his withheld motion to adjourn had precedence over the Burleson resolution. Pandemonium.
 4:55 p. m.-Order partially restored | and the speaker ruled that the motion to adjourn did take precedence, but | asked that it be withdrawn. Norris declined to withdraw it.
 5:03 p. m.-The house, by division, refused to adjourn. This made the Burleson resolution the question be- fore the house. The roll was called.
 5:29 p. m.-Burleson resolution was defeated by 19l to l5S. 5:30 D. m.-House adjourned with many republicans singing "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" as they fell into line to shake the hand of the speaker.
 Great tumult and disorder ragged around Mir. Burleson as the purport of his resolution became known. Kitchin of North Carolina, Hard wick of Georgia, Garner of Texas and Shackleford of Missouri, who had as sisted him in drafting the resolution, all shouted amid the turmoil to pay no attention to panicky requests for with. drawal of the resolution.
 Several insurgent republicans ran ov- CT and entreated him to withdraw it..
 ''It is untimely; it s suicidal,' ,' they cried through the din.
 "Don t offer this now; don t do it this evening. Wait until we have had time to think it Over,' begged Hin shaw of Nebraska.
 BurlesOn paid no heed. Sherley of
  1 that the motion to adjourn had pri- ority.
 The speaker was steadily hammering his desk with the gavel, but his blows were hardly audible above the racket. The republicans were shouting to the clerk:
 "Read! Read!"
 They referred to the Burleson resolu- tion, the contents of which they did not know, though everybody suspected what they were.
 Half a hundred had left their seats and were shouting in the aisles when l Burleson, few minutes later, pressed for the adoption of his resolution. Rodenberg of Illinois elbowed his way from the rear, yelling: "Vote on | it; show your colors; what $ the mat ter with you?"
 Norris was demanding recognition and vote on his motion to ad journ. l From the democratic side came cries of Withdraw it, withdraw it; let put him out now'
 Just as vehement were the shouts: "NO, don withdraw it. Stand pat. " Republicans Hopeful There were loud cries from the re- | publican side when the democrats voted against adjournment. Some or these cries came from the regular republicans, who began to feel that the insurgents would rejoin them on the question of throwing Cannon out. A score or more of senators were on 1 the floor during the afternoon. The proceedings had keen interest for members of the upper house, for they have insurgents over there, and today s rebellion was felt to be of the utmost | importance politically. Among the reg ulars, insurgents and democrats there from the upper house were Flint, Cum mins, Deliver, Borah, Burkett, Over man, Owen, Bacon Stone, Bailey, Clark of Arkansas, Sutherland, Bristow, La Toilette. -4oney and Gore. The democrats cheered each insurgent who voted against Cannon for speaker. They heard with surprise the vote of Norris cast in favor of the speaker.
 They taunted the insurgents who | tlOcked over to the Cannon support. Kitchen of North Carolina called out: "I never saw you fellows over there back down like this before. The speaker bluffed you. but he could not run any bluff on this side of the house. We called it."
 "You are not going to elect speak CT here today, though, " was the answer l ing shout from the republican side. After the vote, the republican regu- lars showered felcitations upon the 1 speaker.
 Unique Situation
 "You are the only speaker ever ] elected twice in one session" said Dal- zell, as he grasped, the speaker s hand.
 "Defeat is bad, but victory is great, ' said Scott of Kansas.
 "You are the biggest man in Amer | ica today,' said one, and several greeted him with, F'Great, Mir. Speaker, l great.
 f Tawney, who led the chorus, was elo- quent to a similar effect
