WAY is CLEARED
FOR EARLY ACTION
Rule Adopted by a Vote of
200 to 172, it Being the
First Serious Division of
Democrats During the
Present Congress-Clark
and Underwood Lined up
With Opposition.
BY AssoCIATEp PREss.


Washington, March 27.-With the
administration forces victorious in the
house today when the rule to limit
debate on the Sims bill repeating the
exemption clause of the Panama ca
nal act was adopted by a vote OF 200
to liz, the way was cleared for early
action on the measure that has
brought the first serious division to
Democrats during the present con-
gress.
The rule limits debate to twenty
hours and also prevents amendments.
The first test of strength came when
the previous question" was called to
limit debate on the rule. This was
carried by 207 to 176, slightly larger
majority than was given in favor Of
the adoption OF the rule. Party lines
were eliminated in the vote, which was
a distinct victory for the administra-
tion. Balloting was preceded by an
hour Of impassioned speech making.
Speaker Clark, Majority Leader I'm
derwood. Representative Fitzgerald.
and other Democratic leaders, voted
against the motion to cut OF debate.
News OF the vote was hurried to the
White House, where President Wilson
learned Of it Just before leaving for
Fort Meyer, across the Potomac.
With the first obstacles out Of the
way. the house settled down to a con-
sideration OF the repeal bill. Demo-
Gratis in it's favor were allowed ten
hours: Democrats against. five; Re-
p4blicans, four and progressives. one.
Representative Sims, author of the bill,
lead off the debate.
Administration leaders, flushed by
the victory, tonight declared the re-

house.
CLARK FIGHTING WILSON.
Ssme congressman professed the
view early in the day that the fight
had taken the aspect OF contest be-
tween the president and Speaker
Clark. They expected the speaker
might take the floor to personally lead
the fight on the rule. or might reserve
his attack for the bill itself unless
forced to the floor to defend himself.
The galleries filled early. Mrs. Clark
had a seat in the speakers gallery.
An outburst of applause and shout
ing greeted Speaker Clark as he as
cended the rostrum promptly at noon.
He stilIed the tumult and the house
rose as the chaplain prayed.
Representative LEngle, of Florida,
an invalid. was wheeled into the cham
Der in his wheel chair and placed just
to the right of Speakers rostrum. The
opening business was quickly disposed
OF and the rule was brought up for the
remaining flfty-five minutes debate.
Speaker Clark warned the floor and
galleries that IAN acrimonious and
exciting debate like this" should call
for perfect order. He had some diff
ficulty in Quieting the house but finally
succeeded.
Representative Sherwood, Democrat,
of Ohio. the first speaker, urged an
amendment to dismantle the fortifica-
tionS of the canal and absolutely neu-

One practical result likely to
arise from the meeting of the Viz

Assembly OF q Statewide compul-
sory education law.
Iliiteracy in Virginia and the best
means Of its eradication were the chief
topics at the joint meetings Of the
various organizations making up the
conference and was discussed At many
OF the sectional meetings held during
tho mornings and afternoons OF the
three days. The State Teachers As
sociation and the Conference Of Divi-
sion Superintendents endorsed State
wide law, and the Cooperative EducA-
ton Association devoted much Of it,
attention 10 the subject. the final meet
ing being featured by declarations in
It's favor and reports OF the preva-
ience of illiteracy in the State.
May Open Campaign.
II was emphasized on more than one
OCCASION that there are thousan ds and
tens OF thousands of illiterates in the
State. both white and colored. and re-
peatedly the question was asked as to
what is to be done about II. Many
suggestions were offered. but the one
that caught the most favor was that
of compulsory education. 1t 10 az
pected that soon a Statewide campaign
will begin.
Other than the question OF il1iteracy,
that of the Improvement OF the schools
now In existence, and the betterment
OF the courses offered those now in
school were the chief features. What
Virginia had done in the way OF pub
lie education was by no means over
looked. Her rapid progress In the
past and her plans for the future were
discussed in full. But with the felici-
tations over what has been done there
was combind a recognition of the fact
that much remains to be done and de-
termination that 1t must be done.
Virginia has progressed marvelously
during the last decade. and the facts
were set forth without stint, but the
conference delegates clearly showed
that they are not satisfied with vir-
ginia's position by the approval they
gave on the opening night to Uplted

tons for improvements, and again on
