WASHINGTON. D. C.? "Legislative
autocracy Is on the run. Its chief ex
ponent. Speaker Cannon, has lost his
power and every effort will be made
to see that his legislative system goes
with him." said Insurgent leader Mur
dock, of Kansas, commenting upon
the action of the house today in nam
ing the Ballinger-Pinchot investigat
ing committee.
"The real issue in the matter of
the selection of an investigating
committee was whether the house
could select the committee at all, and
whether when, selected, it would be
a better committee than the one se
lected by the speaker.
"The house has proved that it can
select its own committee and has se
lf cted a committee on which all el?L
men ts of the house and country art- :
represented, whereas, if the speaker
had selected it. it would have been
made up of his personal favorites.
Committeemen appointed by the speak
er would have owed their places to
him. The men now named owe their
places to the house.
"This makes all the difference in
the world, and it is the first substan
tial step in the direction of correcting
present legislative procedure, and
marks an epoch. Legislative autocracy
is on the run. Its chief exponent
Joseph G. Cannon, has lost his power
and every effort will be made to see
that his legislative system goes with
him."

FAIRBANKS. Jan. 20? The reports
which were received heTe today from
! the Koyokuk district, east of Norton '
bay, go far toward confirming the ad
vices brought in a few weeks ago of
an unusually rich gold strike. Strag
gling prospectors who reached here
last December, brought word that sev
eral good strikes had been made, and
despite the lateness of the season,
quite a number started out for the
new diggings.

the effect that several cleanups have
been made from winter dumps, and
in some cases $-100 to the pan was
washed.

able excitement and everything points
to a stampede for the new diggings.

clare that section to be a false alarm,

to the pan, and prospectors who have
been well over the ground character
ize it as spotted in the extreme.
