Washington, March 17. Although
the republican organization of the
house took radical measures yester
day to prevent a repetition of Tues
day's defeat at the hands of the democratic-insurgent
republican 'combi
nation on the question of the main
tenance of an automobile for the
speaker, the allies scored another vic
tory over the regulars even more de
cisive. On an appeal from a decision by
Speaker Cannon In the matter of pre
cedence for a Joint resolution, the
house voted against the speaker, 163
to 111. In addition to the full demo
cratic vote and the 30 Insurgent re
publicans who have always stood
against the speaker, a dozen other re
publicans, heretofore regular, voted
to turn down the ruling of the chair.
Name of Republicans.
Following were the 42 republican
who voted against the speaker:
Ames of Massachusetts, Cary, Coop
er and Davidson of Wisconsin; Davis
nt Minrpmila. Dawson of Iowa. Fish
of New York. Gardner of Massachu
setts. Good of Iowa, Qronna of North
Dakota, Haugen of Iowa. . Hayes of
California, Hlgglns of Connecticut,
Hlnshaw of Nebraska, Holllngsworth,
Howland and Johnson of Ohio, Ken
dall of Iowa, Klnkald of Nebraska,

son of Wisconsin, Norrls of Nebraska.
Parson of New York, Pickett of Iowa,
Polndexler of Washington, Pray of
Montana, Stafford of Wisconsin, Stee
nerson of Minnesota. Wilson of Illi
nois, Woods of Iowa.
Just before taking the vote, Speaker
Cannon addressed the house at length
giving his reasons for the ruling and
showing something of Indifference as
to what action the house might take.
He had Just ruled that the constitu
tional nature of a resolution offered
by Representative Crumpacker on the
coming census gave It precedence over
the house rule of establishing "cal
endar Wednesday," which was one of
the features of .the Fitzgerald rules.
Cannon Makes Comment.
In turning down thespeaker of the
house "who had no more nor less au
thority tlmn any speaker that has pre
ceded him." commented Mr. Cannon,
the real question was "whether the
speaker does, like a colossus, bestride
the world "
A few minutes after the house con
vened today Representative Dwlght,
the republican whip, made a point of
no quorum and caused a call of the
house resulting In a scurrying in of
members who wero absent In com
mittee rooms or In their offices. More
than 80 arrived too late to answer
to their names.
It was privately announced by a
. prominent member of the house or
ganization, that nereafter a quorum

OF NATIONAL CAPITAL
St. Taul. Minn.. March 17. "Con
servation of national capital," as well
as national resources, was urged to
day by James J. Hill. In his address
before the Minnesota conservation
convention.
President Elliott of the Northern
Pacific presided during the morning
session and President Northrup of
Minnesota University in the after
noon. M. .T. BUCKLEY MET WITH
AN INTERESTING "SWEDE"
While coming over from La Grande
on train No. 7 yesterday General Sup
erintendent M. J. Buckley became the
victim of a practical joke that has
novel features. The perpetrators were
Tom Richardson and Ed Morris,
traveling salesman for a firearms
house. Morris formerly lived in Min
nesota and Is an expert with the
Swedish dialect. Knowing this the
Portland booster decided to have some
fun at the expense of the railroader.
He Introduced Mr. Morris to the gen
eral superintendent as "Mr. Johnson
of Minesota" and explained that he
was In the west to find a location for
200 Swedish families of Minnesota.
Now It so occurs that Mr. Buckley
formerly lived where Swedes were nu
merous and he was Interested In the
alleged newcomer. He proceeded to
"draw out" Mr. Johnson and took de
light In listening to the dialect. He
also gave him all the Information he
could regarding this county, and sug
gested that he talk some with Mr.
Richardson whom he said received
J 10,000 a year for talking about tho
country. However the "Swede" ob
jected to Mr. Richardson on the
ground that "he ban a hot air talker."
It was not until the trio reached
Tendleton that Mr. Buckley discov
ered he had been duped. He enjoyed
the Joke as much as the others and
declares Morris is a good Swede.

By an unanimous rising vote of
those present at the Richardson ban
quet last night it was decided to start
a campaign for a county publicity
fund to be raised' under the blate law
which permits a tax levy for this pur
pose. The vote was taken after the
mutter had been discussed at length
and -during which discussion the pro
position was favored by speakers rep
resenting various sections of the
county, the task of starting the move
was Heft with the Pendleton Commer
cial association.
The Banquet.
H was an enthusiastic crowd that
turned out last night for the banquet
in honor of the Portland Commercial
club manager. In order to handle
the throng the capacity of the Quelle
vvhk taxed to the limit and It was even
necessary for a few of the guests to
be seated in the boxes adjoining the
main banquet room. The attendance
was larger than had been anticipated
yet the affair was well handled by
Host Gus LaFountain and those pres
ent were given one of the best course
banquets that has been served here
for a. long time. Music by the United
orchestra, Pendleton's popular new
musical organization, did much to en
liven the occasion and to make the
banquet n success.
Richardson Roused 'Em.
At the sptaking which was taken
up about 10 o'clock. W. L. Thomp
son, president of the Commercial as
soclation, acted as toastmaster. After
explaining the purpose of the gather
ing he introduced Tom Richardson as
the guest of honor and final speaker.
"If I could gather up all the su
perlative adjectives In the dictionary,"
said the great booster in opening his
remarks. "I could not fully explain
to you how I apreciate the courtesy
you have shown me this evening."
Continuing he entered npon a talk
regarding the subject of publicity and
spoke with his characteristic vim and
earnestness. In the course of his re
marks he endorsed the move to pro
vide a county publicity bureau under
the provisions of the state law. He
also offered much advice to local
workers for the advancement of the
town. He insisted that an end should
he put to knocking.
Gag The Knocker.
"Pendleton has. been abused and
misrepresented by parties who are
sore over prohibition," he said. "Re
gardless of how you feel upon that
subject you should put a stop to that.
When you find a man who is knock
ing Pendleton because of prohibition
go to him and tell him 'Dam you.
keep still.' "
Throughout his talk and at the con
clusion thereof Mr. Richardson was
greeted with enthusiastic applause.
Dr. R. W. Coe.
Following Tom Richardson, Dr. H.
W. Coe, head of the colonization work
of the Furnish-Coe project was called
upon. He told of the work under
way' at Stanfield and of the arrange
ments he and his organization have
for bringing settlers to the lands un
der the Umatilla project. Dr. Coe
heartily endorsed the proposition of
organizing a county publicity bureau.
Dr. C. J. Smith.
In the same strain spoke Dr. C. J.
Smith of this city. He spoke of the
varied resources of the county and
called attention to the wide range of
agriculture that Is possible between
Umatilla and Meaeham. He predict
ed, that within ten years from this
time Umatilla county will have an
assessed valuation of not less than
nOO.OOO and an enormously Increased
population. Dr. Smith endorsed the
plan for levying a single tax for pub
licity purposes.
Other Speakers.
Col. H. O. Newport, chief of the
boosters brigade at Hermlston, also
endorsed the Idea of a county pub
licity bureau and brought forth cheers
by a brief but pointed talk. George
C. Howard mnnager of the Commer
cial club at Stanfield also spoke in fa
vor of the move. He declared It the
only equitable way to raise money
for publicity purposes.
Milton a Loyal.
As a representative of the Milton
country Attorney S. D. Peterson
praised the progress being made In his
home city and then brought forth ap
plause by declaring that although Mil
