EXPECTED FIGHT
ON FITZGERALD
VIII Call Another Caucus to Consider
Resolution to Take Power of
Selection From Speaker.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Washington, D. c., Mar. 25.-By
unanimous vote the house today adopt
ed the resolution naming the commit
tee on rules composed of six republi.
cans and four democrats in pursuance
of the provisions of Norris's resolution.
| Currier, of New Hampshire, reported
the resolution naming the committee
on rules, concisting of Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania; Walter ]. Smith, of
Iowa; Boutelle, of Illinois, Lawrence,
of Massachusetts; Fassett, of New
York, Smith o. California, republicans,
and Clark, of Missouri; Anderson, of
Alabama; Dixon, of Indiana, and
Fitzgerald of New York, democrats
Washington, March 25.-A demo-
cratic caucus, after two hours delib-
Grafton last night elected four mem
bers to the new house committee on
rules today. They were: Represen-
tatiye Champ Clark, of Missouri, 125;
Underwood of Alabama, 1O2; Fitzger-
aid of New York, SO; and Dixon of
Indiana, 9S.
The expected fight on Fitzgerald
did not materalize
1t was expected the selection of Fitz-
gerald on the committee would be op-
posed, because of his attitude on the
rules question at the beginning of
the present congress when he, with
29 other democrats, left the leadership
Of Champ Clark and voted with the
republicans.
Representative Sims of Tennessee
headed the faction which opposed the
selection of Fitzgerald, and introduced
a resolution proposing to instruct the
democratic members to support a reso-
luton to provide for the election by
the house of a committee to select
all of the standing committee, which
power of selection is now vested in
the speaker
The maximum strength shown by
the followers of Sims was 80, which
they polled against motion to ad-
journ. The Sims resolution did not
come to vote by reason of the
adoption of motion to adjourn be
fore he had an opportunity to get
it up for consideration.
When the caucus adjourned, Mr..
Sims announced that he would pro-
coed at once to circulate call for
another caucus to consider the sub
iect of the resolution. Only 25 sig
natures under the rules are required
to compel the holding of another eau
Gus. AS the Sims supporters polled
SO votes, another caucus is in pros
pect.

WILL FIND A WAY TO
AVOID WAR OVER TARIFF

Washington, D. c., Mar. 25.-Confi-
dence was expressed in treasury cir
cles yesterday that President Taft will
find a way to avoid a tariff war with
Canada. the only important part of
the earth with which the United
States has made relations that is still
outside the pale Of agreement. The
case is a close one, however, and may
yet turn either way. The most i'm

controversy with Canada, it is not

sellers who are raising the loudest

United States capitalists have in

The value of 1000 feet of lumber may
be put at the theoretical price of 500.
Twenty-Five per cent of $40 is IS, so
that the cost of importing 1000 feet of

paid the farmer $40 down to close
the trade and told him that he would
have to go with him to Fort Worth
to get the remainder OF the purchase
price. To this the farmer agreed and
when they reached Ennis the mules
were left at wagon yard and the
two men took Houston and Texas
Central train for Fort Worth. Ar
irving there, they ate supper and

DEMOCRATS SWEEP
STATE Of MAINE
Son oI Former Governor Ad-
ministers Crushing Defeat
to Republicans.
MAY HAVE LEGISLATURE
In that Event Democratic Senator
Would BE Elected to Succeed
Hale - Elect Three
Congressman.

Lewiston, Me. Sept. 13.-Maine
yesterday went democratic for the
first time. electing a straight demo-
crat without the aid of fusion. ana
defeating republican nominee for
governor, for the first time since
1880.
Was IL Mr.. Roosevelt and his re-
cent vocal exploits? Was it the re q.
publican administration and the cost
of living. or was it the democratic
party coming back into its own? The
answers will come in due time.
Meantime, it was enough. and the
democracy in recent years has not
thrown such fear into the hearts Of
their tribal enemies as was carried
over the wires last night.
Frederick NJ Plaisted, democrat,
was elected governor. over Gov. Bert
NJ Fernand, by 1000 plurality.
Three, and possibly four members
of the house in the sixtysecond con-
gress will be democrats, in place of
a solid republican delegation in the
present house.
The legislature is claimed by the
democrats, which would mean the
election of democrat to succeed
Eugene Hale, the second man in in
fluenee in the present senate.
1t was thirty years ago yesterday
that Harris M. Plaisted's plurality
was only 1863.
The election yesterday is such a
republican catastrophe, with one
wing of the party under Mr.. Roose-
velt's leadership actively threatening
to destroy President Taft's admins
tration, that it is much doubted by
experienced politicians whether the
organization can get together as y
did in 1880.
