House Republicans
Z ear Majority Is
Zoo Big to Handle
Leaders Express Anxiety
That New Men Might
Want to Take a Hand
in Selecting Officers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The thought
uppermost in the minds of Republican
leaders of the House, in planning to-
day for the reorganization meeting
Monday night, was that their majority
might be too big to handle.
by actual count the Republican r.a-
Jority in the new House will be 1853. or
more than three to one, and some lead
ers expressed anxiety that the new
men who came in with the November
landslide, and who are here for the
meeting, might want to take a hand in
selecting officers to serve for the next
two years.
The opinion generally was expressed,
however, that Speaker Gillett and Rep
resentative Mondell, of Wyoming, the
Republican leader, would be reelected.
Their friends say they will be unop-
posed.
Representative Knutson. of Mime
sofa, Republican whip, expects opposi-
ton. The all powerful committee on
committees, which makes assignments
to the various standing committees, will
be named at the conference, and the
chances are that most of the present
members will hold over. Election Of a
steering committee may be deferred.
Leaders predicted there would be no
important changes in the heads of the
big committees, and that the seniority
rule would still hold. Chairman Esch,
of the Interstate Commerce Committee,
Will retire and his place probably will
be taken by Representative Winslow,
of Massachusetts,, ranking Republican
member.
A threatened fight against Chairman
Volstead of the Judiciary Committee
is said to have petered out.
In anticipation Of call by Mr.. aar-
ding for special session to begin
about the first of April, most of the
House leaders will remain in Wash
ington to have business in shape for
the opening.
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, who is slated for Democratic
leader to succeed Champ Clark, who
retires March 4, hopes to be back in
harness for the new session. Reports
indicate that he is steadily gaining his
old-time strength. In the event Mr..
Kitchin should decline to assume the
heavy burdens which fall upon the of
flee, fight will be made for the cleo
tion of Representative Garrett, of Ten
nessee.
Because Of the small number of
Democrats in the House, reports have
spread that Democratic representation
on committees will be rather sharply
reduced.

Pending in Lawrence, Kan.

for the district attorneys office will
question Mrs. Clara Quayle Burch

asked to throw new light on the re-
lationship Of her husband and Mrs
Madalynne Conner Obenchain, in
dicted with him for the Kennel slay-
ing.
Deputy District Attorney Asa Keyes
stated that an investigation of the
marital difficulties between Burch
and his wife may disclose a new
lead" in the affairs of Burch and
Mrs. Obenchain. While Mrs. Oben-
chain was not named in Mrs. Burchs
divorce suit, the investigation will pro-
coed on the theory that Mrs. Oben-
chain was the woman in the case.
Mrs. Burch is now in seclusioh at
the home of her father at Ludington,
Mich, where she will probably be seen
by the district attorneys investigators
now working out of Chicago in the

that Mrs. Burch will be questioned.
Keyes disclosed officially for the first
time that it is the theory of the prose-
cution that Burch was wildly in love"
with Mrs. Obenchain and that the
staying resulted from Kennedy'S re-
fuSal to marry her.

cree from Laura Baldwin, and William
