TO CLOSE DOORS
House Body Votes to Trans
act Public Business
in Private.
MAPES Is REVERSED
Legislative Riders Will Be Barred
Unless Acted Upon by Dis
trict Committee.
BY JOSEPH p. AMIN.

By vote of Il to 4, the House District
Committee yesterday reversed the Mapes
resolution and voted to transact public
business In private, except when public
hearings are held on a particular meas
ure, This action, which was not unex-
pected, was taken in preparation for a
busy session in the committee and with
view to taking some affirmative action
upon all OF the important District meas
ures presented.
The committee also adopted a resolu-
ton offered by Representative Lloyd, of
missouri informing the subcommittee on
the District bill of the Appropriations
Committee that points of order would be
MADE against any legislative riders In the
District bill upon the subject -matter of
which the District Committee had not
acted. The rules Of the House prohibit
new legislation upon an appropriation
Dill prepared by the Appropriations Com
mlttee, except when legislative COM
mittee has passed upon the subiect-mat-
ter OF the rider. unless the rider is Of
tered with view to reduction OF appro-
priations. Chairman Page of the sub
committee has announced that no new
legislation OF controversial nature will
be carried In the appropriations bin nm
less the District Committed shall have
passed on the subject-matter.
Plans of Committee,
The District Committee plans to dispo,e
nrst, and as quickly as possible of III.
bills which have been prepared bv, and
introduced at. the request of the Dis
trict Commissioners. The first OF these
TO be taken up is that involving the
school system. public hearings on which
commence before Representative Lloyd's
subcommittee this morning.
It Is believed that the subcommittee Of
the Dristrfct Committee, which will pre-
pare any legislation growing out OF the
nscal investigation of last fall, will get
TO work before long. Chairman johnson
Is at the head of ahis subcommittee. and
viii present his views in the form of a
btll. Representative Worth Bailey, Of
pennsylvania. will also offe' a bill, en-
bractng a form OF self-gc. srnment. II
is probable that the District fiscal hill will
not have to await disposal Of all the Com
missoners bills.

FUNSTON WANTS
EASTERN TROOPS
New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois Men Are to Be
Brought South First.

san Antonio. Texas June 19.-It was
indicated at headquarters Of the south
ern department today that Gen. Frede-
, rick Funston Will request the war de-
partment TO send him first the militia
Of New York. Pennsylvania. and Hi
nois. as he believes he can make prac-
teal use Immediately OF these organi-
ations. Officers who witnessed the
work OF getting the guardsmen Of
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona into
shape expressed the hope that none
Of the organizations would be sent
south until they had been drilled for
a time and made partly fit for service
in the field
Gen. Funston and his staff were
chiefly concerned today in a study OF
how best to maintain the delicate bal
ance between Mexico and the United
States until the military organizations
arrive Officers believed il improbable
that any Of the state troops would get
TO border stations inside Of ten davs
Reports from the border early to-
day told OF no new raids. Anti-Amer-
lean demonstrations took place Sun
day in Mexican towns and the feel
ing generally along the frontier was
that Carranza's troops might precipi-
tate clash. but extreme caution was
taken by American officials along tho
line and by Gen. Pershing not 70 give
cause for aggression Gen. Funston
has not worked out the details of sta
tons for the state troops. Very few
of the regiments Of the regular forces
now covering the border are intact. bur
il is expected that the availability OF
the militia win make possible the
drawing together OF scattered details
so every regiment may be moved as a
whole.
