therein lies the wide difference Of opin-
ion regarding the power of the House
to do anything except play the waiting
game.
Leaders In Conference.
Informal and secret conferences were
held today by House leaders regarding
the proposed arrest of Rockefeller at
New York to force his appearance be-
fore the Money trust committee. Intro
duction Of a resolution to authorize
Rockefeller's arrest was seriously con-
sidered.
Chairman Pujo. of the Money trust
committee. and Jerry South. Clerk Of
the House. arrived here simultaneously.
They We're closeted together over an
hour. discussing the unavailing efforts
by South and Sergeant-at-arms Riddell
to serve the Money trust committees 9

Two other powerful committees Of
Committees, were brought into the sit
uation. South suggested to Chairman
Pujo that the Judiciary Committee be
requested to report out resolution
citing Rockefeller's alleged wilful eva
sion of service. and authorizing his
pfOCeuuTS p1duUeO
was to have this resolution referred to
the Rules Committee and reported un-
der a special rule to expedite action
in the House.
May Appeal to Untermyer.
Judge Crisp. Speaker Clark's parlia-
mentarian, was also brought into the
conferences for his opinion upon the
procedure. He said the situation, as
regards Rockefeller. Is unique. and that
a hurried examination Of House pre-
cedent failed to disclose any similar
situation in the history Of Congress.
Chairman Pujo said decision might
be reached today regarding the future
procedure. He appeared determined to
secure Rockefellers presence. unless
the oil magnate's physical condition
makes It impossible for him to testify.
Samuel Untermyer, the Money trust
attorney, may be summoned to WASH

committee in its effort to subpoena

Chairman NJ. /. Weller and his helpers
on the public comfort committee today
started a strenuous fight against the
room and restaurant trust which pre-
walls during Inauguration week.
Some of the public may like to be
fooled and robbed" said one Of the
executives today, but we propose to
see that the great mass of inaugural
visitors get a square deal. People with
rooms for rent will not be permitted to
take in double the number of guests
their quarters can accommodate, nor
will the restaurants be permitted to
gouge the visitors. We intend to give
this trust fight such publicity that visi-
tors will place an early boycott on
rooming houses and restaurants which
try to boost prices"
Will "Put Them Wise"
One method to be used by the commit
tee will be the dissemination of price
cards, showing the amounts that are
ordinarily in effect here. The commit
tee itself cannot establish boycott on
rooming houses and restaurants, but 1t
believes that this method will result In
putting the people wise" In short order
so that the trust ZdrOIs VIII hio thSii

The committee Is getting together in

The publicity cammittee Will be asked
to cooperate with the public comfort
committee in letting the people OF the
United States know that Washington
will not take more than Its ordinary
total in inaugural week.
Question of Dances.
The opposition to the turnkey trot
and other sensational dances at the
inaugural ball is not troubling Chair
man B. S. Minor, of the ball COM
mittee. He says he has not consider
ed the subject yet, but 1t will be taken
up saturday or Monday, after he ap-
points his committeeman.
Chairman George z. Hamilton, OF
the legislative committee. announced
today that he expects to present 20
Congress within day or two PHI
asking for the use OF the Pension

to lift his voice and ask, loudly, where all
can hear
"Air you the conspicuous Democrat acho
VOted for Cannon?"
? How could the Hon. Gordon Lee answer?
No matter how he voted afterwards, or
before that, on any other roll-call whatsoever,
the fatal question would remain
"Why did you leave your party and your
leader, and vote with the Republicans then,
when only % other Democrats would do it?
"What qoaS your reason for THAT Oote?"
Gordon Lee couldn't answer, to save his
gizzard.
And suppose at every place in. Georgia
where Charles Edwards shows his smiling,
deceitfuI face, some indignant citizen. robbed
numerically by the doubled taxation of the
Republican law, should ask
''Air you the conspicuous Democrat qcho
v0ted for Cannon@'
Edwards could not answer-not to save his
soul
No matter how he voted before that: no
matter how he voted after that: the fatal
question is 1i7i
''Why did you vote for Cannon them"
Why desert to the Republicans Why
leave your leader? Why vote to re-enslave
the House? Why vote against the freedom
of Congress? Why put into Cannon's hands
the power to d7ive over the House, and to
pass the bill which double taxes the people?
1t these questions are persistently put to
those two Deserters-Lee and Edwards

work for their Special Privilege bosses.

THE PEOPLE ARE AT LAST GET
TING THE TRUE MEASURE
OF w, J. BRYAN.
Editor New York American:

Editor New York American:
Sir:-Under ordinary circumstan-
ces a Cabinet officer, regardless of
any established custom to the con-
trary, might, in the judgment of the
writer, with a propriety not open to
challenge, keep a series Of lecture
engagements as definitely arranged
for in the case of William Jennings
Bryan.
No Cabinet officer can, however,
be said to be free from widespread
public censure if, as in NJ. Brayn's
case, he seeks to justify his course
in the lecture field in the face of his
self-confessed accommodations, on the
ground that he needed the money
earned in the lecture field in addi
tion to his salary as a Cabinet Off
Ger, that he might keep his private
fortune intact.
Mr.. Bryan has a wonderful apti-
tude for public speaking. That has
been amply demonstrated, but the
selfshness of his character as dis
closed by his plea of justification in
abandoning his official post for the
lecture field, and at so critical time
in our nations history, robs him Of
any accredited greatness either as a
statesman Or a patriot heretofore &C
corded to him by his supporters, Of
whom at one time the writer was
one.

The desertion to the Republicans Of %
Democrats IS qohot did 1t.
Those % deserters are directly responsible
for the re-amp position upon the House of those
old Rules which gave the Speaker and his
Rules Committee 0utOcrat5c pOacer over the
House OF Representatives..
Champ Clark, the Democratic leader, was
trying to free Congress from those old Gar
Reed rules.
The Democratic party was following its
leader. Victory was In ight: the iron rod Of
the tyrannical Rules Committee was about
to be broken
But % Democrats deserted to old Joe Can
non. TWenty-three traitors from the Demo
cratic ranks made good to Cannon the honest
Insurgents who had refused to be parties to
his crime against the common people
BY the help Of these % Democratic desert
ers, Cannon got his old rules again; and he
used them to railroad the damnable Payne
Aldrich law through Congress.
Without those % deserters, Cannon could
not have got his old one-man-power rules.
Without those rules. he could not have
damned the Payne -Aldrich law through.
He himself said so, afterwards, in his
speech to the Knife and Fork Club Of Kan
sas City.
None of those % Democratic deserters ever
dared to rise Ia Congress, and deny Cannon's
statement, although repeatedly dared to do So
