Bee-11-2-07 also in reply to Mr. Cooper, who thought the speaker should occupy a seat on the floor. The practice had grown up, he said, that gentlemen seek the chair and the chair exercised his right as a member to say that It would be useless to grant rec ognition, because If no one else objected the chair would object In his capacity aa a member of the house. He said that the right of a member to be recognised can In most Instances be denied by the chair. "The speaker of the house," he said, "Is the servant of the house. If a majority of the house acted under the constitution and th laws, no speaker would dare to fall to oby the will of the people." Mr. DeArmond Insinuated . that . the speaker had not answered him. "If the gentleman has not been an swered," said the speaker, suavely, "It Is the misfortune of the chair or the misfor tune of the peculiar state of mind of the gentleman." Mr. DeArmond. .In a loud tone of voice, demanded to know ' If a majorlty"'-of the membership -of the house requested the speaker to permit actlorl upon a particular matter whether he would or would not do it. - The speaker replied that the will of the majority always had been law to the speaker. Upon Mr. Dalxell's refusing to allow any time to Mr. Williams to speak, the latter forced the yeas and nays on Mr. Palsell's motion for the previous question. The previous question was ordered 19 to 1S3, whereupon Mr. Williams araln forced the yeas and nays on the passage of the resolution. By a vote of 197 to 180 the resolution was adopted and the rules In the last congress were adopted as rulea for the present con gress. The drawing of seats ' then began, the house by unanlmoua consent allowing Messrs. Bingham (Pa.), Payne (N, T.), Kelfer (Ohio), Williams (Miss.) and Sher wood (Ohio),' to select their own seats. The ballot box containing numbers of all members was then plaoed in possession of a blindfolded page, who proceeded to make the drawings, after those who had been allowed to choose their seats had made their selections. The clerk called the name on the list of members corresponding to the number that was called and the mem bers took thslr seats, republicans going to theIrtt of the speaker and democrats to the section on his light. The selection of seats being completed, Mr. Underwood an nounced the death of Senators Morgan and Pettus, and resolutions of respect to their memory were adoDtad.- Mr. Jones of Virginia announced the death of Representative Blersp and Mr. Rodenburg (HI.) that of George W. Smith of nilnoK , A comuiltt.ee to attend the funeral of the late Mr. Smith was appointed by the chair as follows: Messrs.

Mlnates. WASHINGTON, D. C. Dec. 2,-After a trial which has attracted widespread Inter est since Its Inception almost thre weeks ago, with witnesses brought nearly across the continent the case of Mrs. Arfnle M. Bradley, charged with the murder of form er United States Senator Arthur Brown, of Utah, tonight rests in the hands of the Jury. Throughout the earlier part of the day Aiioraeys rower snd Hoover, with reci tals of the episodes that led to the tragedy and pleading insanity of the defendant at the time she shot Brown in a hotel here on December last, argued for the defense, and when court, convened after recess Dis trict Attsrney Baker, attacking the theory of Insanity and arraigning the defendant In scathing language, made the closing address. A new point brought out In the argument bore on Mra. Bradley's Intentions when she started on the Interrupted trip from Salt Lake to Ogden enroute -to Los Angeles. The government contended that the fact that on -arrival here she called at a hotel for her mall Indicated that when she left Salt Leke ths last time, which was the projected Los Angelea trip, she really purposed coming here to see Brown. The court permitted the defense to refute this by quoting from the evidence to show that after Mrs. Bradley started on that trip she changed her mind, stopped at OsJon, telephoned her sister at Salt Lake that she had decided to go to Washington and then proceeded here. Judge Stafford occupied fifty-two minutes to charging the Jury. The charge, among other things, set forth that a nerann I. mentally responsible In law when he Is ca- PDie or understanding the physical nature of his act (as for Instanoe the defendant, if found guilty, must have been capable of understanding she wa hniir,i. t... of understanding whether the act Is right or wrong; and must be capable of control ling her action and of choosing the right ana retraining, from the wrong. Mental In capacity must be the result of mental dis ease. . The law dlstlrurulahea ahemiv K. tween dtsease and mere passion: "It one," ss? the court, "Is kindled by rsge. Jealousy fcr revenge or any other passion so he (or she) cannot understand what he is doing, or that It 4s wrong and csnnot resist his Impulse Us gratify his ' reduce the grade of his .offense, but doea uui cunsmuie insanity. The theory , of emotional insanity or irresistible Impulse is utterly rejeoted by law of this Jurisdiction. If there ts" reasonable doubt about the de fendant's responsibility there is reasonable doubt about her guilt and the law declares that she shall be acquitted." When Mrs. Bradley, nervous, trembling and anxious, was led back to the cell under the court room, she was Joined by her oldest boy. Julge Stafford at I o'clock left for his honv and at 6:40 the Jury had supped. Meantime, In the dingy. Ill-lighted court room, a small crowd of spectators, mostly women, sat waiting for the verdict of the Jury. M0IR KNOCKED OUT IN TENTH Te"ssy Barns Wlaa Charaptoaahta of tea World la Easy .

Dec. r-Tbe. fate of five American and forty-two foreign miners. while not definitely known, was pretty well established late today by the flndlnsr ef the body nf a mine pumper near ths twenty' secnl entry of the Naomi mine of the Unll .l Coal company at Fayette City thirty-five miles from this city. The man had died from suffocation. Judging from the two fatalltlce thus fSr known, both having been caused by pois onous gas fumee, ft la slmost certain that forty-seven miners still In the mine have succumbed to the deadly afterdamp. There Is also a possibility that the ex plosion of last night occurred so close to the men that they were killed by Its force and. ths resultant fall of tons of rock and earth. Since ( o'clock last night a large force of rescuers has labored constantly In an ef fort to . reach the Imprisoned men. The work has been necessarily slow on account of the wreckage aad afterdamp. Notwith standing the fact that the rescue parties have worked In fifteen minute relays, score or more of their members have been compelled to go to their homes suffering from the poisonous gas. Two of the res cuers are In a critical condition. All day long a crowd, estbnated at 1,000 persons, has stood about the mouth of the Ill-fated mine awaiting some news from the entombed men. Hundreds of these persons are relatives or friends of the unfortunate miners and their grief Is ptlKul. Ths rescuers are divided In opinion as to when they will reach the Imprisoned men.

Sup erintendent Good all started' to flood the mine. Later Good all and a party of min ing experts went down the Gower shaft and found their way to ths bulkhead, which they blew open with dynamite. Goodall and the party went to the Fro mont shaft and made an opening by tak ing off the bulkhead from the collar. They were about to .desoend in the eklp to - the S00-foot. level when they were driven to the surface by the stifling smoke. Other st tempts mads to descend met with the same futile results. .
