MEN TO GUIDE DESTINIES OF SIXTY-FIRST CONGRESS Rules Committee, With Robert Lee Henry, of Texas, at Head, Has Seven Denerats. Washington, March 6.-The rules Comniittee, one of the most powerful oC the house committees of the sixty second congress, with Representative Robert L. Henry, of Waco, Texas, at its head, was formally created by the new house ways and means commit tee at its first meeting today. The fol lowing were announced as the seven Democratic members of the commit tee: Robert Lee Henry, Waco, Texas; Edward W. Pou, Smithfield, N. C.; Thomas W. Hardwick, Sanderville, Ga.; Augustus 0. Stanley, Henderson, .-Kentucky; Finis J. Garrett, Dresden, Tennesse; Martin D. Foster, Olney, Illinois, and Matthews R. Denver, Wilmington, Ohio. Has 11 Members. The committee will consist of 11 members. The four Republican mem bers will be chosen by the Republi cans later, along with the other Re publican personnel of the committees of the nei house. The ways and means committee, which is charged under caucus dictum with the func tion of selecting the committees, is not empowered to name the chairman, but it recommended to the new rules committee that it elect Mr. Henry as chairman, which is tantamount to designation at this time. The fiembers of the rules commit tee were named in the order of the seniority of service. Messrs. Hard wick and Stanley have served in con gress the same Deriod and the ser vice of Messrs. Foster and Denver has been identical and to choose the pro priety of rank of these, in each case, members of the ways and means com mittee drew lots, resulting in the or der given. Long Service of Stanley. Mr. Henry has been elected to eight congresses, was once mayor of Texar kana and assistant attorney general of Texas, and has performed notable service on'the house judiciary com 3nittee. The members will meet to ,morrow morning to confer over its preliminary work. There was some discussion by the coommittee of the programme of tariff revision, but the committee is delib eriting carefully on that, which is the greatest task before it, and which it expects to complete in time to report to congress soon after it convenes on April 4. Difference as to Methods. The Democratic', members of the committee realize that there is consid erable difference of opinion aimong the kouse membership in their party as to the methods of 'revising the tariff, 1iome favoring a wholesale bill and others schedule by schedule, in ac .Nord with the views of leaders like Messrs. Clark and Underwood. There is no conclusion yet as to whether the schedules are to be tacked on to the Canadian reciprocity bill so that vote in the senate against the schedule re vision would be striking a blow at the reciprocity agreement, though the bill -.-ill carry out the terms of the agree 2nent in good faith. The committee 'has not yet passed en the committee chairmanships be yond those of the ways and means1 and rules, but in many instances more or less complete assurance of indivi dual members of the ways and means -committee, 'have made th:e chairman Sships largely a matter of ratification by the formal action of the commit 'tee.
