COMP ROM|SE ON
RULES ENDS
FIGHT
Signatures OF $50 Members
Can Cali Any Bill Up
for Vote.

The bitter fight over House rules
ended today with compromise
forced by q coalition Of insurgents
and Democrats over the regular
Republicans.
With the signature OF $50 Of the
%36 members any bill can be voted
up or down In the House and any
committee in charge Of q bill can
be forced to act on II in thirty.
seven days or have It taken away
and brought to the floor for debate
and vote.
Congressman John M. Mclean of
Wisconsin. leader Of the insurgent
group, standing out for q recall by
100 votes, said he was content with
the House decision because It placed
responsibility for locking up OF
popular legislation with the Re.
publican majority Of the House. He
said he still belonged to the Re.
publican party, and had not gone
over to the Democratic party as
charged in the heated, debate pre-.
ceding adoption OF the new rules.
II would have preferred that the
100 members Of the House should
have the right to bring the popular
Legislation up Tor q record vote"
said Nelson, ''but those in charge
of legislation must face the fact
that in adoption Of the new rules
no Legislative Steering Committee
Snd no House Rules COMMITTEES
can assert itself above the House in
determining what legislation shall
be considered. That IL all / have
fought for, and. I repeat, / am not
a radical"
The Democrats split badly In their
fight for rules revlsions. Leader
Garrett could not hold his ranks
intact on the general plea, that
there should be party contSol in the
House. The plea Of Republican
Leader Longworth that they let
him take charge of legislation with
his slender regular plurality was
beaten by the narrow margin of
twenty votes.

Daniel B. Jones. were entombed in /
the Jackson mine Of the Georges
Creek Coal Mining Company here
last night. Forty miners worked

reach James, while Daniel was
rescued in less than two hours.
Neither man is thought to be
seriously injured. Daniel Jones was
squeezed about the lower part of
his body. James X. Jones was
held by tons of debris on his legs
The fact that mine timbers fell
across car In the room probably
saved the Jones brothers from IN
slant death.
Six men working on the other
side OF the car escaped uninjured.
William Richardson was injured on
the legs when struck by a boulder
while attempting 30 provide air
space for James K Jones.
After four hours, an opening
large enough to admit one man
through to where James Jones was
pinioned was effected. The mine
il new opening started in Decem-
Der in an attempt to recover coal
abandoned by the old American
Coal Company.

Sullivan is Surprised.

Chief Sullivan, seated near Ma
Kelly, was one Of the most sur.
prised men in the world when his
name was called. He had previous.
ly been given no Inkling Of the
fact that he was to be honored. A
broad smile came out on his face
as he came to realize that Mr..
Kelly was asking him to come for
ward to be decorated.
He hesitated, embarrassed. But
his embarrassment soon left him
when more than 300 firemen in the
audience began to cheer. The hand
clapping continued for several
minutes, giving indication Of Chief
Sullivan's popularity among the
men Of the department. Those
men in the audience have all
served with Chief Sullivan and the
chief knows everyone Of the 700
men Of the fire department by his
first name.
