APPEAL MADE BY FTzGEUALD
Sustained by the Combined Votes Of
the Democrats and the Pro-
gressive Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE stirring
scene OF the last session OF congress,
when the house overthrow Speaker
Cannon and took the making OF Its
rules into its own hands. was re-en-
acted on the floor OF the house.
Threatened with what they believed
to be an effort to draw the teeth" OF
n OF the most important of the new
rules, Democrats and insurgents by a
vote Of las to 1875 rallied to the sup
port of Representative Fitzgerald
(Dem., N. W and sustained him In his
appeal from the speakers ruling.
The fight developed as the result OF
the second attempt to use the new
rule which gives the house power 20
discharge a committee from further
consideration of a bill that has been
referred TO 1t. The insurgents and the
Democrats believed that this rule was
iron clad.
When the house convened Speaker
Cannon gave recognition to Repre-
sentative Hull of Iowa, chairman OF
the military affairs committee. who
moved that the house take up the con.
sideration OF the military appropria-
ton bill. Mr.. Fitzgerald insisted upon
the consideration OF a motion to dis
charge a committee, which was upon
the calendar, but Speaker Cannon ig-
nored him.
The Democratic member declared
that he was entitled to recognition and
yelled You'll overrule me IL make a
point OF order" !.
Debate Is Lively.
Insurgents. Democrats and regu-
lars jumped into the free debate that
followed. Upon the speakers refusal
to recognize Mr.. Fitzgerald the latter
raised a point of order against the
taking up of the army appropriation
bill.
The speaker read his ruling from
manuscript. He held that Mr.. Hull
had the right of way.
Il appeal from the decision OF the
chair" cried Mr.. Fitzgerald, but Con
gresham Payne OF New York. Repub-
lican leader OF the house, moved 70
law the motion on the table.
The Payne motion was the first test
Of strength. 1t was defeated by q vote
of 1876 to 124. When the vote finally
was taken upon the appeal from
Speaker Cannon's decision, twenty
three insurgents and all but one OF the
Democrats present voted against the
speaker. The result was the defeat
OF his ruling by a vote OF las to 126.
Congressman Stevenson was the only
Minnesota member to vote against the
speakers ruling. The Wisconsin mem
bers who voted against Cannon were
Cary, Kopp, Kusterman; Lenroot,
Morse, Nelson and Stafford.
Representative Saunders OF Virginia
was the only Democrat voting against
Mr.. Fitzgerald in the appeal from the
chairs decision.

well-known attorney died in Olyn-
pia last Monday morning. Death
was due to sudden stroke Of apo
plexy.
He suffered the first attack early
monday morning when he awoke

breast. Medical aid was summon
ed but to no avail.

a week ago when he collapsed when
sitting at his desk. Ee was hurried
to his home and physician sum-
moned, who pronounced the col
lapse due to overwork and irregular
meals. Mr.. Fairchild had been at
work from early in the morning un-
til late at night. His condition was
not considered dangerous, and since
then he had constantly improved in
health. M
Sunday he was apparently in the

President Taft
At BelIingham

The big Taft smile beamed on
cloudy Bellingham for four hours
Monday, and was witnessed by
throngs of people variously esti-
mated at from 100000 to 100000,
says the Bellingham American.
Not an untoward incident marred
the day. Rain which theatened for
time to prevent the outdoor speak
ing, passed over, and when the pro-
cession reached the circus grounds
the platform was surrounded by fif-
teen thousand people.
The Presidents special train of
four coaches reached the city short
tly after 4 a. M, but the big fellow
was not string until 8 o'clock.
When he stepped from the platform
to an automobile a few minutes lat
er he was gwen lusty cheer by the
crowd that was waiting to get a
glimpse of him. He was taken to
the Chamber of Commerce for there
was no speech making at the break
fast. The breakfast party consisted
of forty, including Gov. Hay, for
mer Gov. A. E. Moad, Albert Pan
coast, Mayor deMattos, Congress
men Humphrey and Warburton, and
Chairman Sather. A fifteen minute
reception was held following the
breakfast.
One feature of the day to which
the President referred with much
pride was the large number of school
children who greeted him. Sixty
automobiles formed TIE procession,
tie first ten being reserved for the
Presidential party. The line of
march was decorated with flags and
pictures Of the President.
The Presidents speech was dis

talk as long as it was expected he

Local Cannery
Makes Good

The total pack Of canned salmon
on Puget Sound up to Sept. 20 was
l,276.923 cases. This is the largest
pack Of salmon ever put up on a
year when the sockeyes have not
run in large numbers. The pack Of
pink salmon is more than twice the
size of the next largest pack on re-
cord, no less than 1,O13184 cases of
this kind of fish having been packed.
These totals. which are the first
definite report made public this
year in regard to the Puget Sound
salmon pack, were announced Mon
dy by the Puget Sound Salmon Cam
ners Association. These figures are
official.
Total of the pack up to Sept. 20
was SIS, ,786, 1856. Packers estimate
that the fish to be packed during
the fall months will be worth an ad-
ditional 1900. 900.
The Friday Harbor Packing Co.
is now approaching the close of the
season with very satisfactory pack.
Not many silvers are being put up
because of the prohibitory price.
Manager VIM. Shultz says he is not
anxious to buy silver salmon at IS
cents each. It takes about IL of
them to the case, and that's pretty
near $4 for the raw material that
goes into case of salmon.
The pack of the local cannery will
be close to 10000 cases. Of course
most of them are humpies. or pinks
as they are called. worth 81 doz-
en-, or 81 case.
The seiners are out looking for
dog salmon now. but they are not
showing up in numbers at any point.
The F. H. Packing Co. has distrib-
uted quite a wad of money for la
Dor among local people this season,
and has thus helped some during the
dull times this year. Operations
will cease about the middle Of Nov
ember. Their pack is being boxed
and shipped as fast as possible.

B. P. o. Elks.
That commendable virtue of the

on Monday in the splendid manner in
which the poor children of the city
were given the happiest day of their

slowed upon the order and it's mem.
bers and the committee in charge,
which labored so diligently to make
the affair the grand success that 1t
was.
Two hundred and twenty-five chill
dren were entertained by the Elks, the
ages of the children ranging from
three years to fourteen and fifteen.
1t was sight that would gladden.
any heart to see those children eating
their dinner in the aftefnoon at the
home of Mt. Vernon lodge. Some of
the children said it was the first time
they ever tasted turkey. The doors
ssf the Elks' home were thrown open
and the public was admitted and 1t is
safe TO say that everyone enjoyed the
sieht as much as the children enjoyed
the entertainment.
Il was a memorable event for the
children as well as to the members of
the order who spared neither time nor
money in bringing happiness to the
worthy poor of the city.
The children were admitted to the
heme by tickets which were distribut-

of which Mr.. Dan O'Dell was the chair
man. In securing the names OF the

the public schools, the Salvation army
and all the ministers of the city with
the exception of two, who failed to
comply with the request of the COM
mittee.
Two hundred and fifty-nine tickets
were issued and 225 children were
present Long before one o'clock the
little folks commenced to arrive at
the Elks home. They were formed in
line and the march to the White Pal

gave the use of the theatre free to the
children for one hour. Mr.. Miller even
