 DEMOCRATS
Sustaining Appeal of Fitzgerald Scenes Of Last Session Are Re-enacted In
 Second Attempt to Use New Rule

Speaker Cannon recognized Hull of Iowa, chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs. Hull moved that the House resolve itself into a Com mittee of the Whole, and consider the military appropriation bill. Fitzger. aid insisted on the consideration of motion to discharge the committee, and was finally forced to make a point or order, although he eonteded this method was not necessary.
 The Speaker read a ruling in re- fusal to recognize Fitzgerald, which was rtad from manuscript. He held that Hull and the bill had the right of way.
 CT appeal from the decision of the chair" said Fitzgerald.
 'I move to lay the motion on the table," interposed Payne, Republican leader.
 The Payne motion was the first test of strength ,and was lost, 155 to 124.
 Then followed an acrimonious de- bate upon the ruling of the Speaker, twenty-three Insurgents and all but one Democrat joining in the opposi- tion, the vote being 145 to 126.

The committee appointed to select a button for the use of the Cham Der of Commerce wants every resi- dent of Yavapai county to help in this selection. Prescott has been call ing itself the "City a Mile High, " and while it is true that it is a city a mile high, that expression has been in use by other cities for many years, and does not really carry a local meaning. The button used by the Chamber of Commerce should bear comprehensive legend setting forth the attractiveness of the city, its possibilities or resources, some slo- gan that will bring to the mind $ eye a vivid picture of it's beautiful scenery, uncvrelled climate, or other attractions. ln order to get the ideas of all the people, the committee is offering three prizes for the best slo- gans or mOttOs.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 16. - The stirring scenes of the last Con gress, when the House overthrow the Speaker, and took the making of the rules into its own hands, were re- enacted in part on the floor of the House, today.
 Democrats and Insurgents joined in the defeat of a ruling by the Speaker by a vote of 145 to 126, and sustained the appeal of Fitzger- aid, Democrat, of New York. The fight developed as the result of a second attempt to use the new rules, which gives the House power to dis charge a committee from further con- sideration of a bill referred to it.
 Insurgents and Democrats alike be- lieved the rule ironclad, that as soon as consideration of bills by unani- nous consent, be concluded, on every first and third Monday of the month, the House is bound to take them up, with motions to discharge the com mittee from custody of the specified bill
