Modified Democratic Rule.
The resolution which will be reported
by the Rules Committee Is a modification
of that introduced late Wednesday after
noon by Representative Clark, OF Mis-
souri,, the minority leader.
II is conceded by all factions that when
this amendment. providing for the dis
charge Of the committee, shall have the
sanction OF the House II will please both
insurgents and Democrats.
Nothing could demonstrate the meek
and ehastened attitude OF the regular or
ganization more completely than this
willingness on the part Of Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania. Smith, Of Iowa, and other
hidebound regulars and Cannon support
ers to accept the Democratic committee
discharge amendment.
All Coming TO Agreement.
All day long the regulars, the insur-

OF course. some OF the irreconcIlabies.
like Murdoch, are afraid the regulars are
trying to put something across on them,
and will not commit themselves TO the
proposed amendment until they see it in
printed form, and have chance to think
IL over.
Some OF the insurgents had a meeting
IN the House Office building, but were
unable to agree on anything.
There seems TO be excellent ground for
the statement that when the Rules Com
mittee gets together on this new commit
tee-dIscharge amendment, the entire
House will vote for t.
This new condition seems TO put an end
to all possibility OF a renewed row on the
rules, at this session, nor is It believed
that personal feeling OF some of the in
surgents against Speaker Cannon will
lead them TO go so far as to stand by
any movement to depose him.

MOODY RETIREMENT
MAY COME QUICKLY
Senate and House Act on
Resignation Bill.
SUCCESSOR AT THIS SESSION
Senate Committee Reduces Option
Period to Five Months as Hint for
Speedy ResignatIon-OppOse TO
RecesE ApDOintment-Lodge Bill
Probably VIII Pass Tomorrow.

Congress Is now ready to put through
the Lodge-Gillett bills authorizing the
retirement of Associate Justice William
II. Moody. Of Massachusetts. on full pay.
The bills were reported yesterday from
both the Senate and House committees
on judiciary. The Senate bill was called
up Immediately IN that body by Senator
Clark, but objection to Its consideration,
except by a full membership being raised
BY Senator Bacon, It went over until
to-day. when it viii again be called up
and passed. The Gillett bill was unani-
mously agreed upon by committee and
reported by Representative Clayton. OF
Alabama, @ Democrat. It is planned 10
pass It Monday under suspension OF the
rules.
The Lodge bill was amended by the
Senate committee so as 20 reduce the
period OF option granted Justice Moody
from six 10 i've months. This Is re-
garded as a delicate hint 20 the justice
that an immediate resignation, under
the permission contained IN the act, Is
regarded as advisable by the Senate. Il
Is probable that the House bill viii be
amended to conform with that Of the
Senate.
At the meeting OF the Senate Judiciary
Committee yesterday there was a long
but Informal discussion Of the principle
Involved in the retirement OF Justice
Moody, and OF the important question Of
the appointment Of his. successor.
Senate Position Slated.
It was the consensus Of opinion that it
would be far better il Mr.. Moody should
retire Immediately. The opinion was ex-
pressed that no man appointed to the
vacancy on the Supreme bench should
take his seat in advance OF confirmation.
and very decided, although informal
opinion registered, that il a recess ap-
pointment were made. and the appolntee
should take his seat before Congress as
sembles in December. he would not be
confirmed by the Senate.
IT was made clear by members OF the
committee. however that no criticism OF
any possible appointment Of President
Taft was intended. The Presidents views
have always been that he would not make
a recess appointment TO the Supreme
Court
IN view then OF the necessity for full
bench in October. in order that the cor
poration cases may be reargued at an
early date as possible, II was thought
that, all things considered, Il would be
better for Mr.. Moody Immediately to avail
himself OF the privilege contained in the
act, and tender his resignation at once.
This would permit the President 10 ap-
point his successor, and the Senate TO
confirm him before the adjournment OF
the present session of Congress next
week. II is believed that this will be
done. IT Is understood that Mr. Moody
is willing TO follow the advice OF his
friends here who have provided the pres
ent means for his retirement from the
court. because Of III health, without sac
rificing the salary which attaches to the
Office and TO which ne would be entitled
for life could he serve out ten years.

ROW ON RULES
RESULTS In PEACE
Committee Finds a Method
Which Pleases ALI.
FACTIONS REACH AGREEMENT
Ancient House Practice Revived
Which Permits Discharge of Com
mittee and Placing of Bill on CAL
endar-SIight Modification OF the
Democratic Proposition.

There viii be no row on the rules Of
the House between now and the end OF
the session. according to present indi-
cations.
Harmony Of the most saccharine brand
pervades the chamber. and It is entirely
within the bounds Of probability that
the Rules Committee may report the last
and greatest rules reform desired by in
surgents and Democrats and that the
amendment may be adopted without q
dissenting voice.
The Republican insurgents, Republican
regulars. and Democrats were engaged
in q race 10 see which faction could
amend she rules first, and get the credit
for the Job.
Yesterday after all factions were some
what exhausted from their efforts and
found themselves still abreast, they got
together with good promises for a har-
monious result.
Rules Committee Agrees.
When the Comnittte on Rules adjourn
cd last evening, after practically en- all
day session. there was an almost CON-
pIete agreement on an amendment to the
rules so as to provide for the discharge
of any committee from the consideration
of a bill after a certain time and under
certain conditions.
The final touches will be put to this
amendment to-day. and it may be that
before the Speakers gavei falls this
evening this proposition will be adopted
by a unanimous vote.
Seventy-hve years ago a method was
in operation by which a committee could
be discharged from the consideration OF
any bill and the measure taken up In
the House by majority vote. But the
growth Of the body and of the country,
with the supposed resulting necessity for
more stringent rules of procedure,
brought about its elimination.
The movement now on foot viii restore
this ancient method and permit a ma

If Time Is Obtained in House.

Chairman Smith, Of the House District
Committee, still has hopes of having
some local bills considered before ad-
iournment He thought yesterday that
he might secure unanimous consent for

was informed that this could not be done
under the rules.
II any time is given for District bills,
Mr. Smith will call up those which have
already passed the Senate. including
the loan shark" bill and the bill relat-
ing 10 the Juvenile Court IL is not
likely that any bills from the House
committee could be passed by both
House and Senate In the remaining days
OF the session, so no attempt will be
made TO take them up in the event a
little time is obtained.
