INSURGENTS MAY STRIP
CANNON OF MORE POWER
Fowler Offers Resolution Provid-
ing New Way of Selecting
Committee Members

WASHINGTON, April 2t.-A move
ment was launched today by the insur-
gent Republican members of the house
to take away from the speaker the
power to appoint the house committees.
Representative Fowler of New Jersey,
one of the insurgents, asked immediate
consideration of q resolution providing
for the selection of two committees,
one to be composed of Republican and
the other of Democratic members, the
duty of which would be to designate
all members of house committees
Immediately the house became a
scene of confusion, members anticipat-
ing repetition of the stirring scenes
enacted several weeks ago, when the
insurgents, combining with the Demo-
Gratis, succeeded in eliminating the
speaker from the committee on rules.
Majority Leader Payne rose to the
situation and made a point of order
against the Fowler resolution as not
Privileged" Before the speaker could
rule, Mr.. Hardwick of Georgia made a
point of no quorum. The doors were
closed and there was q call of the
house.
Members who had been absent at
committee meetings when the resolu-
tion had been presented came fiocking
into the chamber, and catching the

some semblance of order and an
nounced that 275 members were present.
Mr.. Fowler was again recognized to
speak on his resolution. He announced
that he did not wish consideration of
the resolution until May 1, but desired
to have 1t referred to the committee on
rules, and to have 1t come up before
the house as a privileged matter on the
date mentioned.
The speaker promptly decided that
the resolution was not in order, but
said he was willing to hear arguments
on the point. The tension was relieved
by Mr.. Fowler. saying he would with
draw the resolution and deposit II in

CHEER ROOSEVELT
IN PARIS THEATER
Playhouse in French Capital
Rocks as American Colonel
Appears
tAssociated Pressl

PARIS, April 21.-No reigning sover-
eign ever received a more enthusiastic
welcome ITO Paris than did Theodore
Roosevelt today. He reached here at
1880 this morning, and was greeted by
representatives of the president and
cabinet, Ambassador Bacon, NJ. jesse
rand, French ambassador at Washing
ton, and a great concourse or people.
After luncheon at the American en-
bassy, Col. Roosevelt called upon
President Fallieres and Foreign Min
lister Pichon. who Immediately paid re-
turn visits to the embassy.
Part of the afternoon was devoted to
private engagements and this evening
Mr. Roosevelt was given an ovation at
the Comedie Franchise, where he made
his first real public appearance in
Paris, occupying the presidential box
placed at his disposal by M. Fallieres.
Anticipating his coming, every seat
and every box in the theater had been
sold days in advance. When Col.
Roosevelt entered the theater. accom-
panied by Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Ethel
and Kermit, and by Ambassador and
Mrs. Bacon, the audience rose, volleys
of applause bursting from the boxes,
pit and galleries. For a full minute
the colonel made no response, but as
the demonstration continued he came
forward and bowed his acknowledge
ments.
The bill was Sophocles' Greek trag-
edy, "Oedipus Rex" staged and acted
as possible only at a French national
theater. and Mr.. Roosevelt seemed to
enjoy it hugely.
BOWS PROFOUNDLY TO t. r.
At the end of each act, when Mou-
net-Suly, who played the title role
and the other performers responded to
applause, they advanced. as is custom
airy when royalty is present, howing
profoundly in the direction of the for
mer president before turning to the
audience. This seemed to give addl-
tional pleasure to the audience, whlch
each time gave a fresh round of ap-
plause for Mr.. Roosevelt.
The Temps tonight fairly reflects the
tone of the entire French press, de
claring RooseYelt's tour of Europe is
unparalleled in history.
"No democratic chief of state,' the
paper SAYS, "ever before enjoyed such
popularity We are accustomed to for
NAL visits of kings and presidents. but
Roosevelt is no longer president. II IL
the man, therefore, not the office, which
is being honored. 1t is his vigor, his
personality, his character. ideas and
temperament which appeal to Euro
pean opinion"

scattered carbolic acid about his room
