Washington, Feb. 17. For the first
time in 10 years the mace, that soaring
silver eagle on the silver bound staff,
was moved today from Its sacred perch
to quell disorder In the house. ' ;
John Wenley Gaines, Democrat, of
Tennessee, was Its prospective prey, but
he resumed his seat when the bird made
a menacing preliminary swoop in his
direction and It was returned to ths
perch beside the speaker's stand.
Qalnes walked in while the clerk was
reading a' report and announced that he
desired to ask a question. The speaker
informed him that hs could not inter

'Then I am not in order," said Gaines,
aggressively. - - . -
"One never knows when he Is in order
here; you -make so many rules."
"The gentleman has served long
enough to know he is not in order," said
the' speaker. . .
"It takes a student like ths speaker,"
retorted Gaines,, "to know all ths rules
and study them all the time with some
body to prompt him." . l - .
The speaker flushed as he replied:
"The gentleman from Tennessee -Is

shouted Gaines, "any more - than the

(Hearst News by Umgest tieWIr,-'-'
New York, Feb. 27. What was said
to be a new sidelight on Mr. Taffs
cabinet making deliberations was
thrown last night by a financier at the
Waldorf-Astoria, who visited the president-elect
In Georgia Just before . the
trip to Panama was made.-- This was
before R. A. BaUlnger: had been picked
for the portfolio, -t
"I am looking for a good man from

his visitor, "and I am having difficulty
in finding a man out there of national
reputation who is suited." '" J i
''Why nottake Francis J.'Heney, who
prosecuted the land grafters in Oregon
and the municipal grafters In San Fran

figure his losses will total more than
11,000.000. '
William H. Moore Is said to be on the
wrong side of the market as deeply as
1 young Vanderbllt. ... ' '
Mr. Moore, besides losing $3,000,000
In stocks through Suney -C Love,
stands to lose another million by tak

makes Mr. Moore and Us friends de

Confidentially and to a few personal
friends only, Mr. Patten has stated
that as yet there have been no private
settlements of any moment between
himself and the shorts: however, the
coming week. It Is predicted, will wit
ness many busy scenes In Mr. Patten's
private office. Men who have known
Jim Patten for years and who have
sold thousands of bushels of grain to
him that they did not possess and now
stand practically no-chance of . getting,
will hare to send lfv their- ards and'
ask Patten ' not to wipe them out en
tlrely ' by demanding his pound of
flesh. - i - ."
It was Said today that the scalpers
on the board of trade had lost $2,000,
000 on the Patten deal and that many
of them had been wioed oull entirely.
Besides Individuals, a large number of
the elevator interests are snort, on
wheat and face heavy losses.
Patten's own profits at this time
can only be guessed at. He has been
buying and. selling several hundred
thousand bushels a day and taking
profits from time to time.
Then the speaker declared that, . on
the supposition that the speaker's
tongue was tied, the practice had grown
up to insult him. He would not sit
silent '
"The tongue of the gentleman- from
Tennessee," said Gaines, "Is not tied,
and he is insulted as often as the
speaker."
"The gentleman will be In order," said
Cannon. ; . -
."The speaker will be In order, too'
came from Gaines. "He has Ho right
to lecture a member."
Things began to look squally,, when
the speaker ordered the sergeant-at-arms
to see tfmt Gaines remained In
order. That was the signal for Deputy
Sergeant-at-Arms Pierce to reach for
the mace. Having It, he was not sure
what he could do with it, and he asked
an attache excitedly: ,r
"What shall I say to him 7' vJ
"Tell him what Ike Hill told a mem

said. 'If you don't sit down, I'll peck

? Gaines, however, took his seat-without
persuasion.

was "pulled," was when Bremm, Re

- Politicians and financiers accepted
this narrative as indicating the fixed
purpose of, the next president to enforce
a system, ef quiet orderly procedure in
all the departments at Washington In
order to emphasise one of the differ
ences between his administration and

was strengthened as the cabinet was
