A Circular Letter Being Sent Out
by Land Commissioners
Campbell.

Letters are pouring into the Hawaii
Promotion Committee from mainland
writers in which detailed information
is asked concerning opportunities for
taking up small farm holdings of public
lands The writers are in all parts
of the mainland and Canada. and range
from practical farmers to business men
of cities who feel the call of the tropics
and a desire to do agricultural work
Some of them have little or no means
others have capital of from $4,000 TO
100000. The promotion committee is
hard set to frame a proper answer and
many of the letters are turned over
to the department of public works and
the land commissioner. Land Commits
sioner Marston Campbell has compiled
d letter, which has been printed and to
all applicants concerning lands the let
ter is sent. 1t follows:

Speeding across the Kansas prai-
ries in an automobile at 20 miles
an hour, with a corpse at the
steering wheels and saved from
death or serious injury by a
straight and smooth road, was the
startling experience from which
Mrs. o. B. Shepherd and three of
her friends are recovering from
today.
o. b. Shepherd, who was mayor
of st. John, died while driving the
car. Noticing that the auto was
moving perilously near the edge of
the county road, Mrs. Shepherd
called to her husband, but there
was no response.
A member of the party stopped
the car and headed it posthaste
toward st. John.
A physician declared Shepherd
had died of heart failure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. IS.
-Streaks of dawn filtering
through the windows of the capi-
tol this morning lighted up the
weary eyes of stubbornly fighting
representatives who for eighteen
hours had been locked in a strug-
gle caused by an attempt to break
the organization of the house OF
representatives and enact new
rules.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning a
number of republican regulars left
the house chamber and it was
thought the debate had bean
checked because less than a quor-
um was on hand.
Then the fight took new tn rn
An effort was made to get every
representative into the house.
Warrants were issued for the 200
members absent from the session
and Sergeant-at-Arms Casson was
instructed to serve them. AS the
hours passed democrats began to
complain of the lack of results oO-
tained by Casson, who was SUD-
posed to be drumming up men,

explained that he was doing the
best he could.
Cannon Worried.

the chair.

SO. Twenty-nine democrats re-
fused to vote, being paired with
absent republicans.
The allies, democrats and L.
surgents, declared shortly after
the rollcall that they would have
a majority of seven, even with
the full membership of the house
present.
Attack Came Unexpectedly.
The sudden attack on the or
ganization of the house came un-
expectedly. The question of the
manner by which a resolution by
Crumpacker (republican, Indiana,
was called up, started the storm
The resolution seeking to amend
the census bill was a routine mat
ter to which few members of the
house took objection. The sud
den fight on the manner in which
it was brought up was a surprise
to the house leaders. 1t was pre-
sumed that 1t was a measure N
which the insurgents would vote
with the regulars.
The speaker ruled against the
contention that. the manner n
which it was brought up was I'M
proper under teh rules. The first
clash was a defeat for the or
ganization. Late yesterday the
matter came up again and a Sec
ond vote was taken. Agin the
insurgents won. Then the rel
fight began.
Then War Started.
Representative Norris introduc-
ed a resolution that had laid In
his desk since the first day of The
present session, to be used when
the psychological moment for an
attack on the speaker arrived.
Norris arose and asked to he per-
mitted to offer resolution Un-
der the constitution of the United
States. The speaker allowed the
resolution to be read. Norris
jumped in with the frayed paper
he has had ready for just such an
emergency and the struggle began
before the speaker recovered
from the shock of the sudden a.
tack on the organization. The
resolution provides for a new
rules committee elected by the
members of the house and on
which the speaker is not eligible
for membership. The new rules
committee, the resolution pro-
vides, is to be made up of fifteen
members, nine of the majority
party and six of the minority.
They are to be selected by di-
vision of the membership by a
committee of three selected by
the hous.
When the resolution was intro
duced, party lines were almost
lost. Regulars tried to get demo-
cratic support and insurgent re-
publicans and democrats fought
side by side. The insurgents
clearly outnumbered the regulars
and the speaker and his forces re-
sorted to filibustering tactics in
an effort to stave o the final vote.
