Soumoia and besides managing the annual appropria
uoh Dill this year. had himself appointed a member
OF the District Committee He had already served
TOT some time also the Committee on Agriculture
represehtnr the committee in all legislation requiring
APPROPRIATIONS Last week the Republican caucus
eommuee ADDED sixth Republican member to the
Appropriations Committee, and Mr.. Plumb's death
simply rednces the membership to It's former limit.
III III is decided however, to keep the number Of
)onty members at six there will be an eager and
earnest contest for the vacant place. OF the FIVE
members now serving two Mcssrs. Dawes and Hale,
are rom New-England, and three, Mr.. Allison, the
chairman, and Messrs, Culom and Stewart, from
tine west The additional place, II would seem, ought
to go to some State between the Aleghanies and the
Mississippi.
As the Committee on the District Of Columbia has
also an extra majority member Mr.. Plumb's place on
1t may or may not be filled. Some Western Senator
will probably succeed to the vacancy on the Agrt-
cultural Committee. Mr.. Plumb was also member
of the standing committee TO inquire Rto the
organization conduct and expenditures of tho
Executive Departments and OF the select committees
on Transportation and sale of Meat Products and to
inquire into the administrative service of the Senate

An APPEAL FOR THE CHRIsTXAs SOCIETY.

TO the Editor OF The TrlDune.
SIR The Christmas Society has received In
gifts and donations Of money with which to buy nfs.
enough presents for 1928 children. and has found
the children who need the presents
To pay the expenses Of the Christmas Festival,
and to purchase the necessary apples. candy and
gingerbread, the society offered for sale the seats In
the gallery and the upper tier boxes portion OF the
house that could not and would not have been used
BY the children TO whom the festival IS given.
The society finds itself short for this branch Of It's
work about 81, 400, ns 1t has been unable to
sell the boxes account Of the attacks which were
started by the Rev. Dr. Rainsford and carried on by
other misnformed critics.
The people who have attacked the society have
wrongfuy given the impression that the poor children
to be upon the floor Of the house only and that
all the lower boxes, including the boxes around tho
foor and all the best seats in the house, would be
occupied by rich children Not ono line or word In
any circular that has been issued by the society
can Justify such conclusion All the lower part
of the house. including the eighty six boxes and
house. has been given to the poor children and their
friends who are the guests Of the day
The presents and the children are ready, only the
money for expenses Is lacking and We appeal TO a
generous public to help us carry on our work. On
behalf OF the society.

1BE INTERNATIONAL TUG.CFWAR.

The international tug-oiwar tournament began last
night at the Madison Square Garden. Teams OF ten
men, representing America, England, Ireland Scotland.
Germany, Denmark, Italy, Norway, Canada and
sweden will pull against each other every evening
during the week. This kind Of sport popular In
san Francisco, but it is not likely to set NewYorli
aire. Another pull like that Of last night between tho
teams OF Germany and sweden would try the patience
Of job
The feats were performed on a raised platform in
the centre of the Garden, and the winning team had
TO pull the rope seven feet to win the bout.
Probably 800 people were present, and there was
some enthusiasm, especially when the American team
defeated the English ten. A. V. De Goicouna acted
as referee James E. Sullivan and Samuel c. Austin
were the judges.
The first contest between the Canadian and
Norwegian teams The Canadians were pulled of
their feet in twenty-nine minutes. The Danes then
pulled the Scotch team out OF place in seven minutes
and fifty seconds. Tn. Americans were not hnf so
E. beefy, as the English tram, but John Bull was
easily beaten. Then the Germans and Swedes took
the stage aud tugged for hour or So and most OF
the spectators went home.
