HEAVY RAINS ALL OVER
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE.

Chfldress, Tex, March l6.-Rain
began falling over the lower Panhan-
die country last night at 10 O'Clock
and did not cease until | this after
noon. Childress County received the
greatest portion of the rain and the
best season is now in ground in the
history of the country. The moisture
came down steady all night and this
morning fell quite hard at intervals
Telephone reports from Wellington
Matador, Arlie. Carey, kirkland and
Iarborough's ranch tell of the best
rain since November. This insures
the earliest grass in years and is
worth thousands of dollars to wheat
and oats.
Many farmers have already planted
corn. Grass is growing rapidly from
recent warm weather and the mois-
ture insures early grass for ranches
throughout this section.
Indications are for more rain to-
night.
Plainview. Tex, March 16.-It COM
menced raining at ; O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon, a light rain continuing un-
til today. Wheat did not need rain.
but it assures aboundant moisture for
all crops this spring. The last 5000
acres of spring wheat has been plant
ed. Hale County should produce 900.-
900 bushels of wheat this year. The
outlook for a big apple and fruit crop
is fine, trees being two weeks later
than usual in blooming. Many farm
ers have purchased heaters for their
orchards for use in case OF a late
frost
Amarillo, Tex. March 16.-Rain be-
gan falling in Amarillo last this after
noon and continues slowly but stead
lily. with fine promise for a thorough
season. This State of weather is
greeted with gladness by everyone.
This Is the first rain since last fall
and will prove of inestimable value to
the wheat interests of this section of
the State. The deep moisture has
preserved the wheat. but dryness has
retarded the growth to some extent.
1t is believed that the rainy condition
is general in the Panhandle.

and the roll call ON tie appeal began.
The House sustained the appeal from
the Speakers ruling by the vote OF
1s2 to 160. The result had been fore
told and the applause was mild.
This brought the Norris resolution
The Speaker mad been repudiated by
the House ne has ruled for seven
years apd nobody know just what
would happen.
Mr.. Norris moved that one and
half hours time be given for debate
to each side. Mr.. Dalzell said this
would be satisfactory to the regulars
but there were snow of objections
and 1t was evident that no time limit
could be fixed. and the debate ON the
resolution proceeded to great length.
Mr.. Norris offered a substitute for
the pending resolution, fixing the
membership of the rules committee
at ten instead of fifteen and similar
ly providing for the elimination of
the Speaker. Thereupon Champ Clark
the Democratic leader. led off in the
debate, Norris yielding the floor to
him. He was vigorously applauded
when he expressed alarm at the per
sonal regard for Speaker Cannon. He
declared he would never give his con-
sent to any proposition which did not
provide for the elimination, forthwith,
of the Speaker from the committee on
rules, "and I speak for the Demo
Gratis and the insurgents" he said.
After Underwood and Hayes had
spoken for the resolution, Mccall. of
Mass, arraigned the insurgent move
ment as being, at the best, a move of
literary higbwaycnen," and he de
defended the Speaker. saying he
would not deliver him bound hand
and foot" to the Democrats.
Pickets, OF Iowa, defended the Nor
ris resolution, saying prayers were
going up in every district for the ov-
erthrow of the rule of the speaker.
Norris moved the previous question
which was ordered. 17s to 1s9, and
this puts the substitute for his reso-
hutton in order, and it will be placed
on its passage.

TUTE Was ADOPTED. 1913 TO 153.
THE AMENDED RESOLUTION,
PROVIDING FOR A NEW RULES
COMMITTEE WAS THEN PASSED.
