FIGHT TO BREAK -SENIORITY RULE ' IN HOUSE OPENS By Winder R. Harris CnireTMl Srrfce Staff Correspond Washington, June 27. Announcement . today by Representative Joseph W. Fordney, Republican 61 Michigan, that he will not seek reflection revived talk of breaking the seniority rule in the bouse. Representative Fordney's retirement, after 24 years" service, will create a vacancy In the chairmanship of the rays and means committee, which drafts all revenue and tariff legis lation, in addition to the Republican .floor leadership which Frank W. Mon dell of Wyoming Is giving up to run for the senate. DOST LOOK FOB CHAJIGE The certainty that these two posts, the'most important in the lower branch of congress, are to be open at the beginning of the next congress, means tuat reorganization of the house is to be a live question from now until the country decides next November whether the Republicans are to retain control. In the cloakrooms and lob bies today it was the principal topic. It Is noticeable, however, that most rf the talk of doing away with the time-honored custom of advancing members who have served the longest came from the younger members, those of the "old guard" who cared to talk were Inclined to the opinion that the seniority rule will be adhered to here as a general proposition. GREEXE 5EXT IX XISE There may be some departures from it where, as in the recent sidetracking of Representative Charles R. Davis of Minnesota in favor of Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois, as chair man of the appropriations committee, it Is deemed for the good of the party. But. In the main those In line for chairmanships by reason of length of service will get the berths if the Re publicans remain in power. This indicates that Representative William Ji. Cireene of Iowa will be come chairman of the ways and means committee next March if the Demo crats fail to win control. While there has been no agreement or even defi nite discussion among the party "lead ers, it appears to be the consensus that there will be no exception to the seniority rule in this case. Greene rep resents a farming 'district and the farm bloc will fight to the limit for him, AUTHOR OF GREEXE BILL Greene Is the ranking Republican committeeman after a continuous mem bership from the beginning of his sec ond term in 1913. He . was chair man of the sub-committee which draft ed the present emergency tariff mea sure known as the Greene bill. He also headed the sub-committee which framed the soldier bonus legislation as passed the house. sGreene is one of the most indus trious workers and students In the house, although not as, vigorous a rough and tumble debater as some of his colleagues. The only man on the ways and means committee who could seriously contest the chairmanship with Greene is Rep resentative Nicholar Longworth. Long worth Is second ranking Republican on the committee. He always has as pired to the chairmanship, but also has had an ambition to be floor leader. MASS MAY BACK HIM Now with Mondell retiring, he as sumes a commanding position in the field for the leadership race, and is i.nderstood to have no intention of try ing to displace Greene for the chair manship of the committee. An unsuc cessful fight there would be virtually certain to alienate sufficient support to kill any chance of landing the floor leadership. Longworth's chances for the leader ship have been considerable strength ened within the last few days by in dications Chat he may have the back ing of Representative James R. Mann cf Illinois. Ship Captain Is Fined Heavily on Narcotics Charge Aberdeen, Wash., June 27. For vio lation of the new narcotics act, a fine of $1168 has been assessed against Captain McKenzie of the steamship Liberator, on which federal officers found a quantity of narcotics.

May, and referred to the San Francisco office of the Atlantic Gulf and Pacific Steamship company, owner of the vessel, the Liberator having departed for San Francisco Saturday.

G. and P. when registered to the shipping board, shipping men claim, the ship cannot draw the charters into fines of this sort.

"We were only able to leave by going on a hunger strike the last 24 hours we were there," said Dr. Rosen feld. PROMISES BROKE Jf "We left Moscow because the condi tions promised were not fulfilled. We were promised, first, that the accused would be permitted to choose their own lawyers for defense ; second, that they would be allowed to make a de fense, and third, that there would be no question of a death sentence. There was no jury and the judges were ap pointed by the communists. From the very beginning of the court sessions the judges declared that they did not feel bound by the conditions and they probably would ask to have the de fendants' lawyers recalled. "N. V. Krylenko. president of the Soviets, presided at the triaL Mme. Krylenko 6igned the complaint against the accused. It was court class justice, M. Krylenko openly saying that class justice would be exercised. The en tire court was composed of picked communists and besides about 15.000 communists were crowding in and out side the courtroom, making so much noise that Krylenko was finally obliged to quiet them: lSStLTED BY MOB "The trial was supposed to ascertain if the accused, were guilty of the at tacks-on Volodarsky and Lenin and. if the entente was implicated in the. fn suisreetlon. ' r r The entire four "weeks off oar stay In Mpjeoir was, like being in" prison. Even upon our arrival we were greeted by an organized band of 3000 com munists who spat upon us and shouted vile Epithets in Russian. We wer lodged outside the city and were brought to the court dally by auto mobile, the trip taking two hours. We were guarded presumably to prevent anything from happening to us, but really to prevent us from seeing any thing we should not see. The only way we escaped was by going on a 24 hour hunger strike. "What we must do now is to get tJk workmen of the world together to protest against the death sentence which we fear is likely to be pro nounced against the accused."
