WET FORCES GATHER
FOR DEFENSE Of VOTE
Will Assail Sheppard Bill and Figh,
for Referendum.

Wet" forces will mobilize before the
House District Committee today for their
nrst assault on the Sheppard bill, de-
signed to make the District Of Columbia
a saloonless community.
Arguments against the Sheppard bill
viii be largely devoted to the exposition
of reasons why the referendum clause
should be attached to the measure rather
than against the terms of the bill as II
passed the Senate.
The Washington Chamber of Commerce
win be represented by Miss Mary O'Toole
attorney and suffragist, in charge OF the
referendum committee.
Charles J. Columbus, of the Referendum
Association, will also be heard at today s
session.
Efforts of the prohibition forces will be
centered on having a special rule granted
by the House Committee on Rules later
in the week.
As scheduled. the hearings on the Shep-
pard bill viii run until February q, when
the measure will then be taken up sec
ton by section by the District Commit
tee.
Prohibition leaders privately admit that
the object of the "wets" Is to adopt dila-
tory tactics that will delay passage of
the bill until the Sixty-fifth Congress.
Their defense against such measures rests
with the Committee on Rules, a majority
of which Is reported to be in favor of the
"drys."

VERY PECULIAR FIRE,
SAY FEDERAL EXPERTS
Coal Pile Covered with Ice Battles
Efforts of Firemen.

The Washington Steel Company keeps A
pile of soft coal near its shops-a pile
about 400 feet long. and % feet high and
yesterday afternoon, when the whole
world was shivering and shaking from
the bitter cold. that coal pile did the
ness in the sides of the pile had frozen
so hard that the firemen had to loosen
the coal with picks. Along the top was
a cornice of ice. At many places frosty
whiskers stuck out. The ground around
the pile was frozen as hard as a rock
Men would have laughed at the idea of
that quiet big pile of coal over starting
on a rumpus, The idea.
But way doyn deep in the heart of the
pile there was some dampness that had
not felt the touch of the cold winds
Between the dampness and the coal dus.
IA strange affinity, and a gas began t.
generate and .fill the air crannies The
gas became hotter and hotter yester-
day afternoon, Then bang! A red fur
mace roared in the heart OF the pile.
The fireman who came for a wheel
barrow of coal saw curling up through
the roof of the pile a big streamer Of
black smoke and little puffs of steam.
The alarm was sent to the city fire
department and several engine companies
hurried to the plant and began to squirt
several streams of water toward the
south end OF the pile, where. the smoke
seemed to be thickest
A dozen lines of hose. pouring out a
river of water ON the coal, at o'clock
only increased the armor of ice that
formed as the water fell, and a hurry
call was sent for big steam shovel and
a gang of laborers The steam shovel ar
rived and was pushed against the side
of the pile. and the laborers were started
on shaft on the opposite side.
At midnight the steam shovel and the
laborers and the firemen had not COTTON
the fire under control. and there will un-
doubtedly be a vast quantity of coal de-
stroyed. There were 1900 or 500 tons in
the pile.
Spontaneous combustion in coal piled
on the ground Is quite uncommon, and
Dr. David White, of the Geological Sur
vey, declared that the fire was one of the
most remarkable that has ever occurred
In Washington.

HOUSE IS DOUBTFUL;
DEMOCRATS WORRIED
New Congress May Give Political
Plums to Republicans. ~

Republican candidates for Congressional
plums are bobbing up with such frequency
that the Democratic majority is thor
oughly frightened over the organization
of the Sixty-fifth Congress and will work
to stop an extra session.
This opinion was expressed by an ad-
minstration leader yesterday, and is
supplemented by members in both
branches who favor winding up all Con-
gressional business by March l.
Candidates for doorkeeper of the House,
clerk of the House, sergeant-at-arms,
reading clerks, parliamentarian and other
Offices which will come into the hands of
Republicans should the House of the
Sixty-fifth Congress be controlled by the
Republicans, have already appeared. Not
only have they appeared, but they are
making a quiet but none the less active
campaign to win support.
1t disturbs the Democratic majority to
see such activity. More than 1000 jobs.
labeled as patronage plums," hang in
the balance.
Unless II appears certain as adjourn
ment draws near that the Democrats will
organize the next Congress, it seems GER
extra session Will succeed.
Today, the situation in the House
hinges on one or two votes. The Demo-
Gratis are behind, but with the election
of the successor to the late Represent
ative Finley, of South Carolina, the count
would be even-2i5 to 215-with FIVE inde-
pendents holding the balance of power.
The Democrats would like to have the
interim between March and the first
Monday in December to count noses and
line up support. 1t also means that
many employees who would otherwise be
separated from the payrolls on March 4
will be continued until December or the
date when the next Congress organizes

HOUSE TO STAND FIRM
ON RAISE FOR CLERKS
conferees Instructed to Battle Senator
Smoot's Amendment.
THE UPPER HOUSE MAY REcEDE
Meeting on Legislative Bill Will Be
Held This Afternoon.

Increases in salary for governme mt
and District employees progressed a
step further yesterday, when the
House instructed the conferees on the
District bill to stand Arm for ive and
ten per cent advances against the
Smoot provision OF the Senate. and the
conferees on the legislative bill pre-
pared to meet today at 9 o'clock. with
the House Conference Committee siat-
ed to insist on Ave and ten per cent
Increases
Indications are that the Senate will
recede from its stand for the Smoot
amendment which provides fifteen per
cent for employees receiving $3.50 or
less and ten per cent for employees
receiving between $3.50 and $1,000. The
House provision gives five per cent to
those receiving $1,000 or less and ten
per cent for those between $1,000 and
s1,s00.
Agree by ytva-voce Vote.
when the District bill was brought
into the House yesterday Representa-
tive Mann. minority leader. requested
that instructions be given on the mat
ter of a horizontal increase for en-
ployes included in the bill To this
Representative Page. chairman OF the
House Conference Committee, assented,
and by a voice vote the House agreed
to concur with the Senate amendment
with an amendment providing for a
five and ten per cent graded increase.
This vote, in effect, affirmed the pre-
vious action taken by the House when
the bill was passed
In the meantime, Representative
Byrns. of Tennessee, was making an
effort to call the conferees on the leg
islative bill together. For various
reasons, the House and Senate mem
bers could not come together yester-
day, and "a meeting was nxed for 3
o'clock today.
1t is certain that the increase of
$500 per year granted the secretaries
to members Of the House will remain
in the bill with the Senate amendment.
providing that these employees be plac-
ed on the payroll stricken out.
To Fight on p. o. Bill.
The strongest fight in conference
will come when the matter of plac-
ing postmasters in the classified serv-
ice is considered. The Senate voted
for 1t. The House overwhelmingly is
against it. The Senate conferees prob
ably will ask for further instructions.
Although there are sixty-one points
in disagreement In the legislative bill.
these two measures are the only seri-
Gus ones in which both branches will
find difficulty in reaching an agree
ment.
