Gillette Is Expected to Be Re-
Nominal ed Speaker; Specu-

By tl. Associated Pros
Washington, Feb. 20. — Organi-
sation of the Republican majority
of the new House will be deferred
until just before the convening of
the first session of the 68th con-
gress, probably next December,
under an understanding reached by
party Madera.
ft h*d been planned to have
ference of the Republican meml
on February 28th to nominate a can-
didate for speaker and to elect a floor
leader with a committee on commit-
tees but opposition by a number of the
western members caused a change in
this program.
Thus far no candidate has come
forward in opposition to speaker Gil-
lette and his re-nomination by the
party conference is forecast. Repre-
sentatives Lonworth of Ohio and Gra-
ham of Illinois are the active candi-
dates for the floor leadership.
Organization of the Democratis
minority also will be put over until
just before the first session. The gen-
eral belief at the capital is that Rep-
i resentative Garrett of Tennessee will
be selected floor leader and Represen-
tative Oldfield of Arkansas re-elected
party whip.

which the fight will be conducted upon
the pests.
Delegates were present from 20
states, from Texas, to Massachusetts
when Dr. Miller Hutchison, of New
York, called the conference to order.
The gathering was unique in that it
was the first time in history that rep-
resentatives of the traditionally an-
tagonistic interests in the cotton In-
dustry—dirt farmers, manufacturers,
cotton brokers, and dealers as well as
men of science and public leaden had
come together in a common cause.
Announcement of the first large do-
nation to the fund of $2,500,000 which
will be raised was made by George
Shutt president of the New York Cot-
ton Exchange. Declaring that the
cotton exchange was as greatly inter-
ested in the destruction of the boll
weevil menace as the cotton growers
and that the exchange desired the
friendship of the south Mr. Shutt an-
nounced that the members had volun-
tarily contributed $75,000 and expect-
ed to add to this amount at a future
date.
Governor Thomas Harwick of Geor-
gia accepted the chairmanship of the
committee of southern governors who
will seek to work out a way of per-
fecting the interstate league propos-
ed by President Harding.

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 26$ — The
parley of leaders in a proposed nat-
ional warfare on the cotton boll
weevil resulted in important action
nt the opening session here today
of the National Cotton Conference.
Outstanding developments were th*

of all the governor* of eotton growing

as suggested by President Harding to
insure co-ordinated action and the an-
nouncement of the contribution of
The Cowen bill passed with no
spoken opposition, the vote being 100*
to 25. It would assess a tax of one!
per cent a gallon against wholesale
dealer* in gasoline and would net the
state annually about $2,500,000, 75
per cent to go to the state highway
and 25 per eent to the general school
fund.
The House also finally passed and
sent to the Senate the Patterson Quo-
warranto bill authorising removal of
officer* who refuse or fail to enfroee
the criminal law*. The bill provide*
that such officers shall be removed
upon complaint of the governor to
the Attorney General by proceeding*
in a district court if the attorney gen-
eral after investigation deems the suit
proper. It limit* the power of the
governor to case* of failure or refusal
to enforce the laws against felonies
and those against gambling and pros-
titution, exempting other misde-
meanors.
The intangible tax measure would
enlarge the scope of the present in-
tangible tax law which applies only to
railroads and bridge companies to in-
clude packing houses, interurbans,
electric railroads, street railroads,
telephone and telegraph companies,
waif companies, oil refineries, stock
yards, natural and artificial gas com-
panies, electic light and power com-
panies and express companies. It
would not apply to telephone, light
and power companies having annual
gross receipt* of $50,000 or less.
The bill will yield the state an
annual revenue of $5,000,000 it is es-
timated and would become effective
January 1, 1924.
Representative Sackett, of Coleman,
introduced a bill providing for a gen-
eral increase in the pay of county
commissioners to be based on the tax-
able values of the individual counties.
Boston, Feb. 20. — The Boston
National League club was sold today
by George Washington Grant to a
syndicate by Christv Mntthewaon,
former pitcher of the Giants. Asso-
ciated with Matthewson are James
MacDonough and Emil Fuchs, both of
New York. The price paid was not
announced. Mr. Grant said that it
was stipulated in the dee! that Fred
Mitchell continue as manager of the
Braves.
ing strikes tomorrow or Thursday, he
stated today. The measure is expect-
ed to draw considerable debate and to
attract numbers of observers.
The Burkett bill was called up last
week and debated at length on the
Senate floor, but because of the ab-
sence of certain interested members,
final action was deferred.
The bill is an outgrowth of the pro-
cedure followed in the recent strike
when special rangers were commis-
sioned and paid by the railroads. In
the public hearing on the bill and in
debate on the Senate floor last week,
Burkett denounced this action, de-
claring that such action resulted in
the rangers and special officers pre-
judiced in favor of the railroad*.
Senator Burkett announced today
that he will accept the amendment
proposed by Senator Davis of Dal-
las, which provides that private cor-
porations can use special officer* in
protection of private property but that
such officers shall surrender their
commission* and arms upon leaving
such private premises. Senator Davis
said that this right is accorded every
person and corporation under the Con-
stitution but that it should be speci-
fically excepted in the proposed law.
The Burkett bill provides, specifi-
cally, that "it shall be unlawful for
any state or county officer or stat*
adjutant general to appoint, hire, em-
ploy or commission any person whom-
soever, whether as special deputy or
otherwise, a* a special officer one who
is in the employment of or work* for,
or receives pay from any person, firm
or corporation, when such person, firm
or corporation is interested in any dis-
pute or disagreement with hi*, her, it*
or their employe* or employers.”
Violation of the law would be a mis-
demeanor, subject to a fine of not
less than $100 nor more than $1,000 or
imprisonment of from 30 days to
year*.

more than 50,000 inhabitants.

Austin, Feb. M — The Senate
late today engroeaed the Clark
joint resolution proposing repeal
of constitutional provisions per-
mitting tbs state beard ef educ-
ation to prescribe and purchase
free text books. The Witt bill
authorizing the consolidation of
the Trinity Valley and Sabine rail-
road with the Beaumont and
Great Northern was passed finally
on saspenaiea of rules.
The Witt bill providing for railroad
consolidation was debated at length.
An amendment by Senator Lewis to
make the Missouri, Kansas A Tev**
railroad and the purchasing company
jointly responsible for obligations of
the former Trinity Valley and Sabine
road was defeated when the Senate
adopted a sub-amendment by Senator
Witt providing that the M., K. A T.
only shall not be exempt from prev-
ious obligations of the line. Final vote
on the measure was 28 to 1, Senator
Bowers casting the only dissenting
vote.
The Holbrook bill prohibiting es-
tablishment of further private banks
which had passed both houses and
was recalled from the governor was
reconsidered and corrective
ments adopted.
A bill introduced by Senator Hol-
brook would permit cities and towns
of the state to levy a poll tax not to
exceed $1.
The Strong bill proposing to per-
mit the manufacture of Carbon Black
within 25 miles of any state boarder
was passed finally. As passed the bill
carried an amendment permitting the
use of residue gas for manufacturing
Carbon Black also.

Washington, Feb. 20. — A com pre
hensive agricultural program based
on the Capper bill passed by the Sen-
ate will be reported by the banking
committee probably Thursday and
taken up for passage in the House
Saturday under plans disclosed today
by Republican leaders.
The final drafting of the measure
was begun today in the committee.
Meanwhile the House today passed
and sent to the Senate another farm
aid measure. It was the Strong bill
liberalizing the federal farm loan sys-
tem by increasing from $10,000 to
$16,000 the maximum of loans to in-
dividual borrowers with an additional
provision for loans up to $26,000 ia
exceptional cases and subject to the
approval of the federal farm loaa
board.
Secretary Mellon presented hi*
views on the two measures sent today
by chairman McFadden of the banking
committee. He endorsed the Capper
bill which would authorize the forma-
tion under federal charter of the agri-
cultural credit co-operation and make
agricultural papers eligible for re-dis-
count at federal reserve banks. Agri-
cultural papers would be defined as
the “obligations” of co-operative
marketing associations.

Washington, Feb. 20. — Producers
of anthracite coal through “monopoly
organization” of the industry are
taking unjust overcharge of at least
$3.61 per ton from consumers, officials
of the miners’ union in the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite region charge in a
memorial made public today upon it*
presentation to the United States
Coal Commission.
Declaring themselves tired in the
face of such figures of the operators
common cry that coal strikes are
caused by the lack of ability to pay
better wages the memorial asked that
the committee to enforce uniform cost
accounting systems by which the fact*
could be determined beyond question
and to consider methods of making it
possible for men to engage in the
business of mining coal to produce fuel
instead of to produe* profit*.

Washington, Feb. 20. — The Repub-
lican managers In charge of the ad- f
ministration shipping bill capitulated
soon after 11:30 o’clock tonight to ob- VIM ,
structionists who had been waging a li|M wf
filibuster against the measure and on
motion of Senator Jones (Rep.) Wash- kSSBa JRgutCTy
ington, in charge of the bill a recess
was taken until 11 o'clock tomorrow. |,.-ned tk.t Mental luili.
Single handed but with the co-oper- “ “• learned teat Mendel Bellis,
ation of a group of determined oppon-
ents of the ship bill largely of Demo-
crats, but including several Republi-
cans, Senator Sheppard (Dem.) Texas,
for hour after hour during the day
and into the night session held the
floor in a continuation of a speech be-
gun last night on the League of Na-
tions. He concluded his address short-
ly after 6 tonight. His associate* in
the filibuster remained at his side con-
tinuously ready to take up the task
should he falter. On concluding, he
had spoken 10 hours and 45 minutes
and continuously for 6 hours and 46
minutes.
Slight chance of exhausting the fil-
ibusters appeared today as they formu
lated their plan* for carrying on their
long promised fight. These plans they
said contemplated lengthy speeches
by a dozen or more senator* and the
estimate was made that sufficient
strength was at hand to carry on the
fight through speeches alone until the
end of the week.
• The planned addresses varied from
the discovery of King Buchamun’*
tomb to the history and principal* ef
co-operative marketing.
The necessity of other opponents
getting into the battle however, was
deferred a* Senator Sheppard pro-
ceeded in one of the most remarkable
demonstrations in the history of the
Senate. On concluding his speech he
was congratulated by Senator La-
follette (Rep.) Wisconsin, the leader
in many historic filibusters and a $75,000 by members of the New York
number of other senators. After
quorum call senator Williams (Dem.)
Mississippi, who retires from the
Senate next month after 12 years of
service in the body, took the floor.
Senator William* (peaking tonight
said that filibustering was justifiable
to protect state rights and when an
accidental temporary majority trie* to
forestall the future and defeat the
will of the people «s expressed at the
last election.
An endeavor to bring about a re-
cess through an effort to vote at 12
o’clock tomorrow on the pending Ladd
motion to displace the shipping bill
with the milk measure was made by
Senator Robinson (Dem.) Kansas but
Senator Jones objected saying he be-
lieved the Senate should continue in
session.
Senator Reed (Defti.) Missouri then
took the floor after Instructing pages
to bring in two large maps and began
a discussion of his resolution author-
izing the president to negotiate with
Great Britain and France for the pur-
chase of their Carribbean possessions.
• The proceedings tonight attracted
crowded galleries and long lines of
persons unable to get seats extended
far down the corridor*.
