Speaker Cannon Decides to Let
Members Have Their Way.

Washington, Dec. 14.-ReneWal of the
fight on the rules which signalized the
last session was precipitated today by
Representative Hughes of New Jersey.
The question under consideration was
whether a bill for the codifcation and
dietary consideration of which occupied
all last Wednesday should again be ta-
ken up today simply on the call of the
chairman of the committee reporting
the measure. The question was raised
by Mr.. Hughes after Representative
Moon of Pennsylvania, chairman of the
committee on revision Of the laws had
asked that the house proceed with the
the judiciary laws.
1t was declared by the Democrat
members that the judiciary bill, which
prevent the house from taking up any
days to come.
Representative Sherley, of Kentucky
in discussing the rules, declared that
the consideration of the BILL which is
203 pages in length and contains 2S6
sections, might occupy every calendar
Wednesday during the session. The
house last Wednesday reached only sec
ton IL of the bill.
After the discussion had proceeded
for an hour, Speaker Cannon ruled there
were no precedents exactly fitting the
situation. but that the house should not
be deprived of doing what is desired.
By a vote of 146 to 81 the house decid-
ed to take up the bill.

bine factions for the good of the party.
They will all vote for utilities bill

party. Local legislation of Importance
agreed on was the establishment of
