WASHINGTON, D. C, April 21.
Amotement was launched today by
the, Insurgent republicans In tho
House to take away from the Speak
er tho power to appoint the House
Committees. Fowler of New Jersey
one of the Insurgents, asked tho im
mediate consideration of a resolution
providing for tho selection of two
committees, one composed of repub
licans and the other of democratic
members, of which it will be the duty
to designate all members of House
committees. Immediately tho House
became a scene of confusion, the mem
ters expecting a repetition of the stir
ring scenes enacted several weeks ago
when the Insurgents combining with
the democrats succeeded In removing
the Speaker from the powerful com
mittee on rules.
Majority Leader Payne rose to the.
situation and made a point of order
against the Fowler resolution as not
"Privileged," Before the Spec key
could rule, Hardwick of Georgia
made a point of no quorum. Tho

New York Republican
District.

ROCHESTER, X. Y., April 21.
(Delayed in transmission) In the
first Hush of victory tho friends of
James S. Havens, tho democratic
candidate who was elected to con
gress yesterday by a large plurality
In one of the strongest republican
districts In the country, are already
talking of Havens for governor next
fall.
Judging from the conservative
tenor of the successful candidates'
remarks, however, he accepts the vic
tory as bearing little on the political
situation In the state except as re
gards the issue of "Bosslsm."
"This Is not wholly a partisan vic
tory" said Havens, "It Is a victory
owr things for which Speaker Can
non has stood and for the Ideals
which Governor Hughes typifies."
Hughes republicans claim that Ha
vens victory has entrenched Governor
Hughes and his policy more strongly
than ever. According to Havens,

result of the New York election.
They gathered early on the iloor and
here was everywhere a spirited

cllned to attach any particular signi

"It was just a skirmish and it

Representative Boutell of Illinois put

in Massachusets and Xew York

At a meeting of the Coos Bay Rap
Id Transit Company at the offices yes
terday, a slight change was made In
the directory board of the company
and plans to hasten the project to

Besides the regular directors ot

that while the original intenaon of
the company had been to build from
Eugene down along the Sluslaw to
Florence, they had changed and de
termined to build to Coos Bay. They
stated that the great harbor and pos
sibilities of development following
the completion of an electric Hue
from Eugene to the coast were much
greater on the Coos Bay proposition.
They gave details of the Lane Coun
ty Asset Company's organization and
told of the Eugene bankers and busi
ness men who are behind the project.
They stated that they were here for
the purpose of familiarizing them
selves with Coos Bay and also to
