In Little Old New York
BY NORMAN

NEW YORK, March As op.
ponents of woman's suffrage, there
appear in the March number of a
magazine photographs Of Mrs. An
drew Carnegie. Mrs. Henry Selig-
man, Mrs. Nathan Meyer, Mrs.
Grover Cleveland, Mrs. Gilbert e.
Jones and Mrs. Humphrey Ward.
Two or three of these can undoubt-
eddy sign their names to checks for
five figures, some for only four.
Which is suggestive of an amusing
incident that attended the recent
appearance of Mrs. Carrie Chap
man Gait before a New York wom-
ans club.
Mrs. Gait had delivered a vigor-
GUS suffrage argument when a tall,
| languid woman of middle age arose.
Her thin fingers were covered with
diamonds and her gown cost more
than many an eastside girl earns
| in a year.
81 am sure l am glad to have
heard you, Mrs. Gait" she said,
but | for one don't believe women
ought to seek, or need to seek, any
activities beyond the home circle.

erything a woman could want"
But, my dear woman!" cried
Mrs. Gait, won't you please bear
in mind that there are several hun
dred thousand women in New York

London. March 22.-The large ma

Pelucis and then Grant said that he
wanted to buy gallon of whskey.
That quantity of liquor was not to be
had in the shack, but Stefani volun-
teered to go and get it and started out,
Grant at his heels.
Stefani turned and asked Grant why he
was following. and a quarrel ensued.
Suddenly Stefani, so witnesses said, turn

Tentative Slate for En-
|argsd Rules Committee,
Naval Appropriation Bill Re-
ported Carrying s129,O37,
Democrats Express Their Personal
Regard for Speaker Cannon.

Washington, March 22.-Through the
maze of speculation regarding the
nrobable personnel of the enlarged
rules committee of the House was de-
welcomed today slate for Republican
membership in that body. Several con-
ferences were held and as result Ii
is understood the members OF the COM
mittee may be selected on a geograpn
ical basis. The tentative slate is di-
yided into groups out of which the
leaders expect one each to be chosen
The groups follow:
DalzeIl, Pennsylvania.
Smith Of Iowa.
Mccall or Lawrence of Massachu-
sets, or ]. Sloat Fassett of New, York.
Boutelle of Illinois, or Longworth of
Ohio.
Young of Michigan or Stevens Of
Minnesota.
Smith of California or HaWley OF
Oregon, or Howell Of Utah.
From this slate the six Republican
members Of the committee of 10 may
be selected at the Republican caucus
tomorrow night. The list does not in
clude a single insurgent Republican.
Republican leaders take the posi-
ton that only by a rock-ribhed un-
ninchingly stalwart regular Republic
can membership can the rules COM
mittee transact any really effectiVc
business. They contend that the In
surgents made mistake III fixing the
membership of the committee at 10 IN
stead of some odd number, that 1t
plainly made impossible the inclusion
Of any Insurgent Republican.
1t was said by the regular Republicans
that to permit the inclusion OF an IN
surgent as one of the six would give MIN
as great power as the Speaker has en-
loved. in that he would doubtless con-
suit his insurgent colleagues on every
move and that the regulars would have
to agree with him or else leave the COM
mttee subject to tie vote Of five to hve,
in case the insurgent chose to vote with
the four Democrats, who are to be Sc
lected in caucus on Thursday night. Most
of the insurgents disavow any desire for
specific representation of their branch OF
the party.
Rep Haphen of Iowa, the insurgent
who has drafted a resolution proposing
a committee on committees. said today
that he had finally decided to introduce
that measure at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. He has talked over the PROPOSE
ton with some of his insurgent col
leagues.
About 10 insurgents today signed the
call for the Republican caucus. Among
these we're Miller, Volsted. Stevenson
and Pickett.
Several declined to sign. although they
probably will attend the caucus mem
Der of the House organization said the
organization desired it to ne understood

ton of the new committee.

He Feels That Majority in Control
Saturday is Responsible for Legislation

Washington, March 22.-Speakel
Cannon is not taking any leading par
in the proceedings Of the House, mol
Is he talking about his attitude on the
subject.
From a source very near the Speak
err. it was learned today that he fell
that the majority which had taken
control of things last Saturday was
now responsible for legislative mat
tiers and that it might be poor taste
for him to make suggestions or to at
tempt to have anything to do with the
directing Of affairs.
Representative Hayes of California
who has presided over all meetings OF
the insurgents" during the present
session, stated today that 1t was GER
tainty that a conference Of the In
surgents" would be called on this sub
ject between now and the date of the
Republican caucus. He said: Il will
not stand for men who are close to
Speaker Cannon being named as the
Republican members of the new COM
mittee There are a lot Of other I'm
surgents" who feel the same way. We
would lose the fruits of our victory
The country would laugh at u.s."
Many of the prominent "Insurgents.'
however, like Murdoch of Kansas, Nor
ris of Nebraska, and Lenroot of Wis
consin, have expressed their intention
of entering the caucus without advance
assurances.
Rep. Lincoln Dixon of Indiana, is
prominently mentioned as one of the

he expects to report it from committee
