Washington, April 2l.--A movement
was launched today by the insurgent
republican members of the house To
take away from the speaker the
power 10 appoint the house commit

Immediately the. house became n
scene Of confusion. members antici-
rating repetition of the stirring
scenes enacted several weeks ago,
when the insurgents, combining with
the democrats succeeded In removing
the speaker from the committee on
rules.
Majority Lender Payne arose to the
floor and made point OF order of

Members who had been absent at
committee meetings when the resolu-
tion was presented came flocking into
the chamber and catching the fever
OF excitement added to the confusion.
The speaker finally obtained some
semblance of order and announced that
"a members We're present.
Mr.. Fowler was again recognized to
speak on his resolution He an
nounced that he did not wish con-
sidcration OF the resolution until May
|. but desired 10 have IL referred to

The speaker promptly decided that
the resolutia was not in order but
said he wa> aaIting To heh. argu-

The tension was relieved by Mr.
Fowler saying he would Withdraw the
resolution "and deposit il in the
wastebasket." The hopper system for
bills and resolutions prevails in the
house. Mr.. Fowler, his resolution in
hand. walked to the clerks desk and
placed 1t in the basket. the speaker
having Informed him that, not being

Speaker Cannon. "and now the gen

The speaker had some difficulty in
restoring order and used his gavel
vigorously. After several minutes Of
incessant hammering. the excitement

resolution. said: Il accomplished to-

it, and so bring II To the attention
of the country. Ii embraces Il great
reform in the house of representatives

to see it adopted before the present
session ends"
Mr.. Fowler did not attempt To force
consideration of his resolution largely
upon the advice of Representative
Norris and other insurgent leaders,
who urged him not To press 1t at this
time. thus interfering with the con-
.sideration Of the railroad bill and
other important administration legis-
