DEMOCRATS HAPPY.
Give Republican ..ReguIaI.s'' in Con-
gress Horse Laugh.

Washington, March 19.-In the debate
in the house this afternoon derisive
laughter from the Democratic side
greeted suggestions and counter sug-
gestions relating to the course that
should be followed and to the parlia-
mentary status that would apply to the
consideration of the Norris resolution.
A demand for the previous ques-
ton cut short all effort for
unanimous consent and Mr.. Norris,
who was surrounded by a group
of insurgents, offered an amended reso-
luton which he said he would support.
1t provided for a committee on rules to
consist of 10 mem berS-six Republicans
and four Democrats-instead of the
present committee of five members,
three Republicans and two Democrats.
1t provided further that the commit
tee on rules should be elected by the
house and that the speaker shall not
be member of it," also that the COM
mlttee should elect it's chairman from
its members. The subresolution also
provided that the new committee should
be selected within 10 days from the
passage of the resolution. Representa-
tive Mann attempted to take Mr.. Nor
rls off the floor on the ground that his
right to privilege had expired, but the
speaker at once suggested that Mr..
Norris again held the floor in view
of the new resolution being offered and
that Mr.. Norris had yielded to Minority
Leader Clark.
Champ Clark Speaks.
Mr.. Clark said he had something to
say and he did not care whether any
body liked it or not.
This is not a figh. against Joseph
G. Cannon personally said Mr.. Clark,
amid storm of applause. 81 can lay
my hand on my heart continued Mr..
Clark, "and truthfully assert that the
personal relations between that dis
tinguished parsonage and myself have
always been Pleasant This is a fight
against a system. I think it is a bad
system as far as this committee on
rules is concerned. It does not make
any difference to me that this system
is sanctioned hv time. There has never
been any progress in this world except
by the overthrow of precedents and
the establishment of new precedents.' -
Frequent applause interrupted the DEM
ocratic leader, who continued to say the
committee on rules gives the speaker
more power than any one man ought to
have over the destines of this republic -
'.I made up my mind some time ago.
ton that has been commenced here TO
day.
Murdoch of Kansas declared that what
was doing was the enforcement of the
control of the committee on rules from
that of the house.
1.-THE same man should not draft the
measure in committee and then preside
over it's destinies in the house, he de-
clared.
Fitzgerald of New York, Democratic
member of the rules committee, support
ed the resolution. He urged the Democ-
racy to stand united while the Republi-
cans were demoralized.

NEWELL ON THE STAND.
When the Ballinger- Pinchot Investiga-
ton Is Resumed Today.

Washington, March 19.-The Bal
linger- Pinchot investigation was re-
summed this morning, with F. H
Newell, director of the reclamation
service, on the stand. Mr.. Newells
testimony was expected to be largely
corroborative of that given by his sub
ordinate, Chief Engineer Davis who
was before the committee for two days
last week.
Mr. Davis took issue with Secretary
BaIlinger as to the accuracy of several
statements he made in letters and pub
lie utterances. Mr.. Davis denied that
certain public lands withdrawn from
entry under the Garfield admin4stra-
ton had been restored on the recon-
mendation of the reclamation service,
as claimed by Mr.. Ballinger. He said
his bureau recommended" that the
reservations be made only after Secre-
tary Ballinger had ordered Director
Newell to make such a recommends
ton. 1t was expected that Mr.. Newell
would occupy the stand during the
whole of today'S session.
