WASHINGTON, -Nov. . 10. Another con test over the. question of. taking from the speaker the "power to name standing com mittees Is expected to develop soon after the house of representatives assembles next month.

Ing the fight, waged by Insurgent republi cans last session, which reformed the rules and deposed Speaker Cannon from member ship on the rules committee. That contest was won by Insurgent and democratic coalition. It la not known what the atti tude of the democrats will be In the com ing session when an effort Is made to still further shear the speakership of Its great authority, but tho chances are they will seek to force the battle over to the suc ceeding session, when they will be in un disputed control. ; - Harmony Mar Vanish. Some members of the house who are now here believe that If the power to appoint committees is taken away from the demo cratic speaker In the Sixty-second congress and handed over to the membership all hope of harmony in the democratic ranks may be abandoned. It would mean the up setting of the seniority rule and the turn ing down of many men of long service, who h.ve been the minority ranking members of the most powerful committees. On the other hand. It Is pointed out that harmony also would suffer from a maintenance of the seniority rule, as that rule would give to the south the chairmanships of all the great committees and leave unracogntxed the . new ..democratic membership from northern and western states. ',' rhdef Uie'aehloiity rule the committee on agriculture would go to Lamb of Virginia, banking and currency to Pujo of Louisiana, census to Hay of Virginia, foreign affairs to Flood of Virginia, Immigration to Burnett of Alabama. Indian affairs to Stephens of Texas, interstate and foreign commerce to Adamson of Georgia, Judiciary to Clayton of Alabama, merchant-marine and fisheries to Clark of Florida, naval affairs to Padgett of Tennessee, patents to Legare of South Carolina, pensions to Rich ardson of Alabama, postofflce to Moon of Tennessee, printing to Finley of South Carolina, public buildings to Sheppard ot Texas, public lands to Robinson of Arkan sas, rivers and harbors to Sparkman of Florida, territories to Lloyd of Missouri end ways and means, the greatest of all, to Fnderwood of Alabama, unless Champ Clark of Missouri, who is now the ranking minority leader, should fail to capture the speakership. Fitsgerald Will Lose finer. Appropriations, under the seniority rule, would go to Fitzgerald of New York, but it Is said that he is so disliked by tho piospectlve speaker that this place prob ably would be given to Burleson of Texas. Military affairs under the seniority ar rangements would go to Sulser of New York and there Is little doubt that he will capture this important chairmanship under whatever plan Is adopted. Whether the . seniority rule Is retail ed or the speaker be permitted to name com mittees or the selection be left to the mem bership of the house, all of those who are now the minority ranking members of the principal committees are expected to InslMt npon promotions to chairmanship. TUey will claim that their long service In the house entitles them to these as a mater of right. y RANCHMEN OUT UNDER BONDS Mem Who Were Indicted by the Federal Grand Jarr Ulve Themselves In.

WASHINGTON, Nov. lO.-The Interpre tation of the Sherman anti-trust law as a means of administering criminal punish ment of conspiracies in. restraint of inter state commerce came today before tho supreme court of the United States for oral argument. It Is expected the determination of the questions Involved may have some bearing on the dissolution proceedings under the same law against the Standard Oil and the tobacco corporations, now awaiting argu ment before the same court. ; The question arose in the Indictment of Oustav K. Kissel of New York and Thomas R.

Kissel and Harned pleaded that the statute or limitations forbade their prose cution, and the circuit court of the United States for the southern district of New York sutaii-ed that objection to the Indict ment. The case came to the supreme court largely on a dispute as to whnt "conspir acy," as referred to In the Sherman anti trust law, means.

Nov. .Through In suits to the American flag and assaults made openly upon American cltixens In the streets the antl-Amerlean demonstration which began last night with the stoning of the Mexican Herald offices developed this afternoon Into an affair of International Importance. A vigorous protest was regis tered by the American ambassador with the Mexican department of foreign rela tions and at the same time the facta were telegraphed , to Washington and instruct tlons asked for. Tonight the attacks were renewed. The windows In a dozen American business j'laocs ' were smashed. . All about town' shutters were hurriedly drawn and estab lishments closed. . Forces of police ap-; peared In the streets and kept the crowds moving. An attack was made on the Aplsnt of KJ Imparcial and the mailing and Ulstribut tng departments on the ground floor were completely wrecked.

While the police looked on and seemingly made no effort to prevent It, an American flag floating In front of a candy store In the business dlfctrlct was torn down this afternoon by a crowd of students und others, trampled and spat upon and torn to bits. Later photograpbs of the crowd were taken before the offices of the Dlarlo del Hogsr. a Mexican newspaper, with many individuals waving bits of the tat tered banner. The demonstration today was a continua tion of the affair last night, caused by an tipathy aroused among the people by the burning at the stake of Antonio Rodrldgues at Rock springs, Tex., on the night of isoveniber .
