(By Leased Wire to The Times.) Washington, March 18 Speaker Cannon was charged with anarchy to. day la the most exciting point of tue twenty-four hour battle waged against him by the democrats and in surgents the greatest struggle Washington has been in a decade. Representative Shackelford, of Missouri, In a heated attack, declar ed tuat the speaker "precipitated anarchy by his refusal to permit' the house to perform Its functions." "The speaker has issued a war rant directing the sergeant-at-arms to r arrest and bring before the bar the members of the house absent with out leave," ' cried Representative Shackelford, "but the speaker in se cret ordered that official not to exe cute the warrant' . V While Mr. Shackelford spoke, "Uncle Joe" betrayed nervousness. Shackelford's speech stopped one of the most unusual scenes of many congresses. While the speaker pro tein vainly pounded for order, mem bers of the house sang "My Country, Tis of Thee," and "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Time Tonight." Mr. Elerbee, of South Carolina, started "My Old Kentucky Home," and only desisted when Shackelford began his attack. The allied forces of the insurgents and democrats this afternoon claim ed that they would have a majority TROLLEY CARBLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE (By Leased Wire lo The Times.) ''.Philadelphia, Pa., March IS-A trolley car wus wrecked and its occupants hud a miraculous escape from death when a dynamite bomb operated by a slow fuse exploded beneath the car at 34th street and Lehigh avenue today. The police believe that the wricking of the car was a strikers plot and twenty men In plain clothes are working on the case. police believe that the wrecking of the Alynuinltc bomb wus placed In the truck beneath the center of the car. A gaping hole was torn out of the middle of the floor and the root of the car was blown oft. Every window was smashed and more than a thousand panes of gloss in the neighborhood were shattered by the concussion The police have learned that three men were seen skulking around the car in the barn a,t the 34th Huntingdon street Bhortly before It started out on its trip. It Is believed they are the men who placed the bomb under the car which had gone but a block from the barn when the explosion occurred. The motorman and conductor were cut by fragments of glass but were other- wise uninjured. There was but one pas senger In the car, a woman, and al though she Is prostrated as a result of terror and shock, she was not other wise Injured That she was not killed outright is due to the fact thnt she was seated at the end of the car The Evening Times' European Trip Subscriptions AM ON THE RULES of seven votes in favor of overturn ing the rules whenever the question was put to the house by the speaker. The regulars expressed equal confi dence but fought desperately for de lay, nevertheless. A report is in circulation that the insurgent republicans, meeting In the room of Representative Gardiner, of Massachusetts, gravely considered whether It lay In their power to sum marily depose Speaker Cannon or dis charge the sergeant-at-arms for their failure to obey the will of the house, or to do both. While this report could not be confirmed, nevertheless It was insistently repeated through out the capitol this afternoon. Representative Martin, of South Dakota, a near Insurgent, suggested in a speech that the committee on rules should consist of ten members, six to be chosen by the majority and four by the minority, to be elected by party caucus, the speaker not to be a member. The committee would elect its own chairman. This is said to be the compromise offered by the regulars and it Is believed that if sub mitted to the house, will be adopted. Tiie effect of this would be to save the regulars from a complete defeat, but it would oe a great victory for the Insurgents. There is an undercurrent of feel ing this afternoon that the insur gents will accept the compromise, which it is said will be offered by the regulars. According to the re port the program is as follows: Representative Norrls of Nebraska, is to withdraw his resolution and have it referred to the committee on rules. This committee will hold a meeting and report a substitute to Norris' amendment, providing . that hereafter the committee on ' rules shall hereafter consist Of ten mem bers, six of the majority and four of the mlority, to be elected by the house. Such action would follow the regular procedure of the house. The plan, it is said, has the approval of the democrats. At 1:35 o'clock Representative Martin, of South Dakota, moved that the house take a recess until 4 o'clock. Tnis was opposed by the democrats and Representative Champ Clark demanded the yeas and nayea which was ordered. The purpose of the recess was to enable the republican Insurgents to hold a conference with a view to reaching an understanding without having to rely on democratic votes. It iff reported that telegrams have been received from President Taft by the insurgents making a personal ; appeal not to split the organization In half by voting with the democrats. - The vote on the motion to take a recejfs until 4 o'clock was carried by a vote of 161 to 151. This is not re-i carded as a. victory for the regulars ffs the insurgents who voted for the reeess sav they did so I'l order to havo a little rest and have a confer-1 enco with the regulars. , .'.." IK'tuil of Fight. Washington, March 18 Undaunt ed by the light of the regular republi cans who to break the quorum re treated from the bouse at 2:30 this morning at the height of the battle against Speaker Cannon, the Insur gents and democrats maintained the session throughout tnje night and ad ministered a heavy blow to Speaker Cannon by proxy. Although laeking a quorum, the weary band of legis lators overturned Representative Dalzell, to whom Cannon had given the chair, and ordered the arrest or all absent members, sending out a democratic assistant sergeant-at-arms after the republican side's ser geants seemed unable to corral the absentees. , When daylight came, with the prospect of a quorum within a short time, the all night session the most exciting which has stirred Washing ton in years was still on and the light against "Uncle Joe" was waging as hot as ever. Pale and haggard, the rebels pre sented a solid front, determined- to put through at last their demands (Continued On Page Seven.)
