"I am now ready for the oath."-
The oath was then administered by Rep
resentative Bingham of Pennsylvania, "the
.father of the house," and In turn the
speaker administered the oath to the mem
bers, who lined up In front, of his desk In
groups of twenty-five. When Oklahoma
was called the democrats loudly applauded
the representatives of the new state, who
bowed their acknowledgments.'.
", The republican and democrat caucus ay

; The first fight of the session was In
augurated by Representative Williams,
' who protested against the adoption of a
.'resolution making1 the rules of the last
house the governing laws of the present
house. Mr. Williams asserted that too
iauch power la concentrated in the hands
of the speaker.
)To the delight1 of the dsnsoerata.. Rep
resentative Copper, republican of Wiscon
sin, expressed approval of whnt Mr. WU-
JJfcra had aald, and added that the power
given the speaker , was both unrepubilcan

-"How much time' does the gentleman

- "I want recognition In my own right 'as
a member of this house," said Mr. De
Armond. ' ' '
Speaker Cannon, declared that Mr. Dal
sell had the floor and Mr, DeArmond re
luctantly received at Mr. Dalsell'a hands
twenty minutes to attack the rules.
Mr. DeArmond asked the members why
they desired to enslave themselves under
such rules. "It Is proposed to shackle the
houee by rules about which a good many
knvir aothlug and a gopd many ethers
know a great deal." he said. "Now was
the time to change the rules." he continued,
"so that members 'ae cowards and crav

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

A comuiltt.ee to attend the funeral of the

BRADLEY CASE COES TO JURY

Fate of Woman Who Shot Arthur
Brown Kests with Twelve Men,
PROSECUTION EAISES NEW yoiNT
Pact that She Asked for Mall When
She Reached Hotel t'sed Against
Her Charge Oecaptes
Fifty-Two. 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.

If the fate of ths Chiistrhas tree rested
with the Omaha Women's club- it Is a ques
tion whether that .cherished tradition
would survive. " Not only as a menace to
our lumber supply, but as dangerous of
cultivating Ideas ef ( extravagance the gift
laden, tinsel-strung; candle-lighted ever
green tree was attacked nt Monday after
noon's meeting of lh club In a resolution
that would further pledge the', organiza
tion to petition th next legislature to pro
hibit Its use In schools, churches and like
plaocs. - But the beautiful old tradition w
not without staunch defenders snd sfter
an argument that consumed the. greater
part of the business hour the matter was
laid over for two. weeks, that consideration
might be given 6thir things. ' The reso
lution cams from the tnu.ehold economics
department, which last week Sent a com
munication to Superintendent Davidson,
asking that the Christmas tree be elim
inated from the' school rooms of the city
as dangerous and as, conducive to extrav
agant Ideas. ' '
The club also pledged Its members to do
thflr Christmas shopping early In the day
and early In the month that the work of
the store employes and dellverymen might
be lessened during the holidays and mer
chants have less inducement to violate the
child and women labor laws.
Mrs. Decker -Coming:.
A communication received from Mrs.

Mrsv Decker expressed appreciation of the
invitation snd signified her pleasure In

Before the recent meeting of the New

You are fullv aware that nverv nkM in

should be the first consideration. Tou do
not need to be told that -mx-tith .m-
broidery Is bad art when employed upon
a fabric where a weave does not plainly
suggest It; that to glue Imooaslnle orna

that a chair whl h Is better fitted for some
other purpose than to sit upon jnay be
well made and beautifully ornamented, but
is sun noi a good chair' because It lacks

that a lamp Intended morely for ornament

Benator-eleot John Sharp Wllllnnia, who
remains as a member of the house during
ths Sixtieth congress, has had several con
ferences with Speaker Canaoa during the
last wek with the objoct of securing more
oommlrte piacee for the democracy than
they were allowed In the last congress.
There Is a bigger democrat to representa
tion In the Blxtletb than there waa in the
Fifty-ninth, and consequently the request
f Mr. WUllains la not unreasonable. It
Is the expectation ef the minority leader
max mere will be one democratto member
added to each of the principal eeounlttaes,
and this will reliava him from a great deal
ef pressure, for Mr. Cannon wtjen first
Chosen speaker decided to Mrmtt tha tnW
nvrity leader to name the minority mem-
places on the Idling committees are as
eagerly sought by members of the minority
as they are coveted by their more fortunate
brothers of the majority. It Is believed
that It Is the Intention of the speaker to
make some radical changes In the per
sonnel of practically all of the principal
committees of the house.

FORTY-NINE . MINERS DEAD
Hope for Ken Entombed in Pittsburg"
Mine Abandoned.
TWO BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Both Victims Were Saffocated aad It
Is B filer that Alt Were In
stantly Killed Rearae
Overcame fcy Oaa.
riTTSBimo. 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.
Some believe the end of their search wltl
oome late tonight, while others do not look
for this until tomorrow evening. In tne
meantime it Is the opinion of all that the
men are dead.
ELEVEN MINERS BELIEVED LOST
Hope Practically Abandoned far Men
Entombed Saturday.
DRY TOWN. Cel., Dect I. With smoke
still pouring from the shaft of the Fremont
mine, hope for the eleven miners who were
entombed Saturday was virtually aban
doned lost night, and It Is believed all of
them have perished behind the wall of
flame which drove them toward tha heart
of the - subterreanean furnace when they
tried to escape.
Jamee Drew, Joseph Manley, Daniel
O'Brien niid L. E. Wilson are the Ameri
cans among the victims, the rest of whom
are Italians and Auetrlans. O'Brien and
Wilson are married, the latter having eight
children.
After the connoting drifts of the Fre
mont and Gower shafts had been bulk
headed and the collar of the latter had
been boarded up to smother the fire. 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. .
