with much difficulty.
The end of it was the speaker re-
fused to recognize the authority of less

Taft Remains Silent

ASHTABULA, o., March 15.-On his
way from Chicago to Rochester, where
he is TO speak before the chamber of
commerce tonight. President Taft made
a brief stop here early today.
The president eagerly read the morn
ing papers put aboard his train at
Cleveland, but would not comment on
the fight against Cannon In any way.
1t was said the developments in the
house would in no way alter the presi-
dents plans for his trip.
The president all along let it be
known that he would not interfere
with any fight the insurgents might
make on the speaker or on the rules
of the house. He has insisted. how
ever that the insurgents give the ad
ministration's bills loyal support If they
are still TO be regarded as republicans
and desire to share in the patronage
which a republican president can give.

New Sergeant at Arms


debate about the possibility Of appoint

ofScers necessary TO bring in the aoseht

that the sergeant at arms ana ms uepu-
ties were making no sincere enort ~

There was long wrangle about TINS
and finally Representative HardWlck

of q temporary assistant sergeant a.

The chair ruled the motion out OF

that the newly appointed officers be
equipped with new warrants
This affair took on a somewhat dlt-

Cannon himself came on the scene
This was about a. m.
Rurleson of Texas demanded of the
sneaker whether he had signed the
new warrants, "as ordered by this
house"
'T7ncle" Joe's voice quivered with
suppressed rage as he replied. with
bang of the gavel:

This defiance by the speaker struck
sharks all over the room. Burleson'
face was very red and his voice, too
shook with passion as he said:

Cannon Is Stubborn

Tomorrow morning at o'clock the
regulars and the insurgent leaders will
meet in the room OF the ways and
means committee OF the house TO dis
cUss q possible compromise. Both
sides admitted tonight no tangible basis
Of compromise had been suggested.
They said only vague generalities had
been discussed in the conference today
and nothing had been broached by
either side giving promise or ground
Tor getting together II was said to-
8ay the attitude OF Speaker Cannon
himself is the greatest stumbling block
in the way OF a compromise. The
speaker declines to be eliminated from
the rules committee.

morrow were Parsons and Fish Of New

Speaker Cannon looked fresh as 3

strength during his all night vigil
From noon yesterday TO o'clock this
morning he sat almost continuously in
the chair or stood near the rostrum.
