Chicago March 1s.-President Taft
at the Auditorium yesterday. by word
and deed, joined hands with Theodore
Roosevelt on the Roosevelt policy of

ces.
Hailing Roosevelt by name as the
motive power of the conservation
movement, President Taft started a
tremendous Roosevelt demonstration
in the crowded Auditorium.
One second later President Taft
gave full credit to Clifford Pinchot,
his late chief forester, as the man
who inspired Roosevelt to action.
Then it was a demonstration. The
great audience went to it's feet Presi-
dent Taft donned his broadest grin.
Taft Shouts "Go 1t Asain!"
Go it again." he shouted, in lull
in the roar of applause and cheers.
You don't enjoy it any more than
l do" again he yelled to the applaud
ing thousands. who were near frantic
at the unexpected coupling of the
names of Roosevelt and Pinchot.
Il am in favor of giving credit
where credit belongs" rejoined the
president to another young avalanche
of uproarious satisfaction, land of
withholding it where it does not be-
long"
The other direct statement of the
president which stirred and surprised
the gathering of Chicago men and
| women was his flat utterance that
he, as president, still waits to be con-
vinced that the fourteen foot channel
feature of the lakes-to-the- gulf deep
waterways is practical project.
Ohio as Model River.
The Ohio river. he said, answers
his requirements as to what constitu-
tes worthwhile waterway project
one which would regulate freight
| rates either by it's availability for
navigation or by the actual possibility
of transportation lines.
Now it is unfortunate for me, try
ing to act as Judge in this country
/ and impartially, that the only enter
prise that really meets these require
ments is the Ohio river" the presi-
dent 'amplified. Il believe that the
Missouri river from Kansas to St.
Louis and the Mississippi river from
st. Paul to St. Louis, and the Missis-
sippi river from st. Louis to Cairo,
are all capable of being put in that
condition and answering these re-
quirements, and as they are l am in
favor of appropriating for them.
Now, as to your fourteen foot wat
erway from Chicago to the gulf l am
waiting to be convinced. There is in
the present bill provision by which
the matter is again to be submitted
to engineers. I hope l can select i'm
partial ones and the whole subject
can be reconsidered."

Burleson demanded to know, point
blank why the speaker had declined to
issue warrants for service by Eergeant-
alarms Sinott, a democratic ap-
pointee. He arbitrarily declined to
answer and declared that a quorum
had never been obtainable in the early
nours of the morning and declared the
methods pursued by the house were
haphazard in this instance.
Excuses Not Asked For.
Soon members began to assemble,
but were not asked for excuses for alb
sence without permission. Wrang-
ling continued to consume time and at
eight-thirty Cannon again surrendered
the gavel to Speaker Pro Tempore
Moore, while Ucle Joe mingled among
the members on the floor of the house.
Fully eighty per cent of the republi-
cans managed to get a few hours
sleep, while 75 per cent of the demo
Gratis remained in the chamber all
night.
Norris Stands Guard.
Democratic leaders expressed the be-
lief at noon that nothing could be done
about dispensing with the call under
which the house is still acting, as many
republicans are sleeping. Proceed
ings remained at standstill. About
ten o'clock Uncle Joe resumed the
speakers chair, and cries of rule,

house. The speaker was Indifferent to

Another all night session is likely

It is conceded by many that If Can

regarding the rules committee, it will
spell his political doom.
At las o'clock, Martin of South Da
kota, moved the house take a recess
until four O'Clock. Champ Clark
called for yeas and nays. The pur

Finding no quorum present. the demo-
Gratis demanded that sergeant-at-arms
be sent forth to arrest recalcitrants and
bring them in. Following the custom
the doors were clapped shut. One of
the exits of the rear lobby. however,
was apparently left with but a weak
guard, for the rotund form of Serene
Payne and one or two prominent repub-
licans were seen slipping through, off
down the marble corridors and out in
to the night. Quiet settled over the
chamber and Speaker Pro Tempore
Dalzell lolled in his chair, toying with
the gavel and occasionally chatting
with members who strolled up to the
rostrum.
A Move to Adjourn.
For fully half an hour there was
peace and then someone got the floor
and moved to adjourn. Representa-
tive Dalzell in the chair gravely put the
question and it was voted down by a
division vote of 40 to 6.
The democrats by this time were
plainly irritated over the delay in
rounding up the absentees and be-
gan to fire questions at the presiding
officer as to whether any members
at all had been arrested and brought
before the bar of the house.
Il am informed that several have
reported" replied Dalzell.
How many?" was shouted by sew
eral democrats.
'I am informed that six have ans
wered to their names since the order
was issued" replied the speaker
pro tenn.
''They are all democrats. Where
are the republicans" shouted Ollie
James, Representative Clayton and
others.
More Lively Doings.
Then there were more lively do
ings and rules were cited to show
that when an order was issued for

be formally brought before the bar of

''Yes, but how many have been

whatever was being made to route

charged that the customary majority

TRY TO BREAK QUORUM.


by the flight of the regular republicans
who to break the quorum, retreated
from the house at 2:3O this morning, at
the height of the battle against Speak
er Cannon, the insurgents and demo-
Gratis maintained the session through
out the night and administered heavy
blow to Speaker Cannon by proxy. AL
though lacking a quorum, the weary
band of legislators overturned Repre-
sentative Dalzell, to whom Cannon had
given the chair, and ordered the arrest
of all absent members, sending out a
democratic assistant sergeant-at-arms
after the republican sides sergeants
seemed unable to corral the missing.
When daylight came. with the pros
pect of quorum within short time,
the all-night session-the most excit-
ing which has stirred Washington in
years-was still on and the fight
against Uncle Joe" was waging as hot
as ever.
Pale and haggard, the rebels pre-
sented a solid front. determined to put
through at last their demand for rules
reform, clipping the Speakers power
the crux of the insurgent fight and the
outcome of the unrest which has been
spreading for five years.
= They Ragged and Stormed.
The democrats, after voting down
repeated efforts to recess during the
early part of the evening, had been de-
serted by most of the regular republi-
cans and they ragged and stormed at
intervals in an endeavor to have them
brought back. A number of the insur-
gents remained in the chamber with
them.
Horseplay alternated with serious ef-
forts throughout the night. There
was fine fun for the little band of 100
when Representative Hollingsworth of
Ohio, the only republican to be dis
turbed by the 100 men with warrants,
entered the chamber at ) o'clock and
demanded to know in more or less un-
steady tones, why he had been routed
| out and insulted by being informed
that he was under arrest.
Could See No Joke.
The weary members cheered up and
howled with glee. The Ohio repre-
sentative saw no joke in the proceed
ings and said so emphatically. Rep
resentative James of Kentucky, finally
came to the rescue by moving to alb
solve him. accept his excuse and re.
