WASHINGTON. Jan. 24. When tho Bmoka of the liveliest legislative battle of the sussion had cleared up in the House today. Speaker Cannon and his organiza tion were in complete control and the joint statehood programme of the Admin istration had been adopted. Forty-three Republican "insurgents" vent down to defeat, having voted vainly -with the Democrats to gain control of the rule the terms of which arc to govern the statohood bill In the passage through the House. The vote ordering the previ ous question on the rule was 192 ayes and 163 noes. This clearly defined the oppo sition's strength, the full vote of which was polled, and little interest was taken In the vote for the adoption or the rule, which immediately followed and was car ried by a majority of 30. Previous to the vote the debate on the rule had proceeded under high tension. The speeches were short but the words uttered were hot and full of strng. The veterans, Payne, Dalzell and Grosvonor, upheld the organization. Pitted against them were the leaders of the insurgents, Babcock, aiondcll and Jones (Wah.). Tawney, one of the erstwhile insurgents, urose and announced his acquiescence In the will of the organization, and lark Smith, the Delegate from Arizona, Just us sorrowfully interpreted this actiou as t-lm "mncl onllnj mct oil The rule adopted provides that the bill prantlng statehood to Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as "Oklahoma." and Arizona and New Mexico as "Arizona," should be debated until 3 o'clock tomor row and then voted on without opportu nity for debate- The House adjourned at 6:80 o'clock, after agreeing to meet at 11 o'clock. Williams T,cads Attack. Williams stated that the rule in ques tion" denied to the House the right to vote on the question of admitting elthor of the four territories separate ly. It was holding a whip over the House, compelling it to agree to admit Arizona and New Mexico as one state, which was undesirable, in order to admit Oklahoma and Indian Territory, to which no one had objections. Williams yielded 10 minutes to Mon- Vll MlfV DL im- JK'pUDIICXll 111 sargoms, who expressed the hope tiat thp demand for the nrevlous mmstinn would Do voted down. Mondell denied that the bill was a Republican party measure; every man, woman and child in New Mexico was opposed to beinjj joined to Arizona. There was a largo number in the House who, if their hands wore not tied, would vote against joining these two territories. He char acterized the proposed rule as a viola tion of party pledges. Grosvonor Defends Utile. A reply to Mondoll was mode by Grosvonor (O.). who maintained that the joint statehood bill was a Repub 1 loan measure. The President was for it and the House in caucus had indorsed It. That it was a party question, he said, would be easily recognized with in the next hour and a half, as every Democratic membor on the floor would vote against the rule and trie bill. "When Grosvenor had concluded. Wil liams protested with great warmth to make this a partisan question. The question of the permanent welfare of the people of the two territories, ho said, should never be a partisan meas ure. Opposition to the rule was made by Adams (Wis.), one of the Republican insurgents. . TAppoaling for the rights of the peo ple or tho great State of New York. Payne (N. Y.) protested aaglnst equal representation in the Senate from the territories. "Should the Providence of God," he said, "Inflict the country ivith Democratic rule, we should have such legislation." Bede Ijaslics New Yorkers. J. Adam Bede (Minn.), began: "If wc 'have Democratic rule, it won't be the Providence of God; it will be the mis takes of the Republican leaders." (Laughter.) "Why," he continued, after order had been secured, "tho 'Payne' speake about tho New York Senators most people are trying to forget them." It was several minutes after this state ment before the vigorous efforts of Speaker Cannon availed against tho shouts, laughter and applause. "The gentleman fwm Minnesota," warned the Speaker, "does know, or he ought to know, that his remark is against the rules, of the House and against all parliamentary usage." "I only 'intended my reference in the kindlles tsplrit," remarked Bede, who proceeded. He was tired, ho said, "of the treatment accorded the West, gen erally reslgnated the 'wild and woolly West.' It reminded him of the daughter of an old Kentucky Colonel, who said she was 27 years old before she knew that 'damn Yankee was not one word. It was usual," be said "when they want to whip us into line, to use the name of 'tho great President,' but when this President is opposing- something the East wants, he is 'the broncho states man.' "Why," continued Mr. Bede, "you say they have not got enough 'folk Never beard of a Senator representing 'folk. " (Laughter.) Reverting to the early days in New -England, Bede convulsed 'the House again by declaring that the Pilgrim Fathers would not have landed there, had they hot been seasick. ,- " Votins Aerainst Judsmient. Tawney briefly explained that in hewing to-.tHQ-leaders-or-tae House iajjductefl byfhlg-cotfain ' WI11140 S. Cowl, supporting the rule, he 'did so against his own Judgment. Jones (Wash.) profosscd more love for Speaker Cannon than any man in the country and also regard for the President, but he absolutely refused to go aaginst his conscience and follow them in this matter. He had supported the present proposition two years ago, nut since then he had visited Arizona. After seeing the splendid civilization there, he should not vote now to de stroy it. Smith, Delegate from Arizona, who pokc for three minutes, scorned some what depressed. The action of Taw ney, in taking tho floor against him was, ho said, the most "unkindest" cut of all. Joint Statehood a Crime. Dc Armond (Mo.) and Kahn (Cal.) spoke against the rule, when four and a. half mluutes were yielded to Bab cock (Wis.), leader of the insurgents. He had, he aid, always been opposed to joint statehood. He considered join ing Arizona and New Mexico a crime. He said the argument against single 'statehood was "wc shall have four Democratic Senators." In this connection he referred to the passage of the Dingley affair bill, which, he said, could not have passed but for the vote of Sonator Jones, of Nevada, whose every amendment was accepted. He scouted the idea that those states would be Democratic Debate was closed by Dalzell in fa vor of the rule. Dalzell based his ar gument in opposition to single state hood that it was unjust to the Eastern section that Senators who represented nothing but "roeks and sand" should have as much weight as Senators rep resenting large Eastern states. Jtulc Is Adopted. Dalzell demanded a roll-call on the previous question on the adoption of the rule. The roll-call began at 11:45 o'clock. During the discussion of the rule, Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice oc cupied eats in the executive gallery. The Speaker requested the call of his own name and voted for the rule. The rule was adopted, the vote being 192 ayes, ICS nays. Williams asked for a recapitulation of the vote, which was granted after some objection by the Spoakor, who stated that the rule had boon carriod by a large majority and such action was not usual. Panics of Insurgents. The following Republicans votod with the Democrats on the test vote ordering the previous question: Adams (Wis.). Babcock, Bede. BMdler.

As the vote on the previous question was prac tically the adoption of the rule, many members left the chamber for luncheon during the call and many persons de Coming Wedding Brings Whom Shall We Invite Is Perplexing the Correspondence of New York rrcas. WASHINGTON, Jan. 18. Problem? of statecraft have given way tempo rarily in tho White House to another problem, probably far more vexing than the most Intricate international question the President 1ms tackled. The great question today is "Whom shall wo invite to Miss Alice Roosevelt's wedding on February 177" It isn't that there it any s3arcity of man and women entitled to invitations. The trouble is there arc too many persons whom the President's family and tho family of Representative Longworth are anxious to have at the ceremony. Tho list of Invited guests, it is expected, will reach 500, and it Ls believed that even with this large number invited thore will be many "soreheads" who will say -moan things about the President for overlook ing them. "Invite the whole nation, and then you can't slight any one," was the advice a distinguished diplomat gave the Presi dent, but as that was Impossible it wa Huggested that only the Immediate family of the bride and bridegroom be asked. Reasons developed why that would not be a good plan, and the result ls that the President, Mrs. Roosevelt, Alice Roose velt, Representative Longworth and sev eral members of his family are holding long conferences trying to detcrmine,wlio is to be as-ked. Wise in Having No Bridesmaids. AVashington society is on the tiptoe of anxiety In regard to tin? Roowsvelt invita tions. There had boon much speculation about Miss Roosevelt". bridesmaids, but she settled tho question by announcing she would not have any. Miss Roosevelt showed her wisdom in this action, for she has become so popular that no matter bow many bridesmaids she would have had, other young women would have felt offended at not being asked. Miss Roosevelt's girl friends, howex'or. will not be forgotten. They will bo asked to breakfast and will be grouped In a conspicuous place on the right of the bridal party. Some who will be asked to the East Room are: Miss Mathlldc Townsend, daughter of Richard Town send; Miss Jean Reld, daughter of the American Ambassador to London: Miss Irene Catlln of St. Louis.

Miss Annie Mc Cawley of this city and Miss Lormg of New York. To this group of girls must be added Miss Christine Roosevelt, daugh ter of Emlcn Roosevelt; Miss Loraine Roosevelt, daughter of Mrs. J. West Roosevelt, and Miss Corinne Robinson, daughter of Douglas Robinson. Longworth's best man undoubtedly will be his brother-in-law. Buckner Walllng ford, of Cincinnati. The ushers are likely to Include young Theodore Roosevelt, Vis count de Chambrun, whose brother mar ried Longworth's sister; Representative Robert Adams of Philadelphia, who has been Longworth's chum since he came to Congress: Representative Gillette of Mas sachusetts, another close friend, and .Ben son Foraker, son of the Ohio Senator.

Tentative plans for the ceremony in clude the placing of the guests in the East Room and a procession from the upper corridor down the western stair case and through the wing and corridor Into the historic chamber identified with events in the lives of the Chief Executives of the American nation for more than a century- Miss Roosevelt will enter on her father's arm, and will be followed by the members of the family, her ven erable grandmother. Mrs. George C. Lee, and the numerous connections of her mother in Boston. Kermit Roosevelt will escort his mother; Miss Ethel will walk with Archibald and Quentin will be con parted from the pallerles. The rule was adopted by a vote of 1ST to 157.

Hamilton (Mich.), chairman of the committee on Terri tories, made a general explanation of Its terms. The objection to joining Arizona and New Mexico, he said, was shared by the mincowncrs, lumbermen and cattlemen. The llrst three inter ests opposed it because of a possible Increase In taxation. The cattlemen saw their grazing ground being cut down. He touched on the minor ar KurocnUs declaring there was nothing in any of them.
