Speaker Crisp Still Listening to Demo-
cratic Members-NO Appointments Made
Yet.
WASHINGTON, D, c., December IA
Speaker Crisp spent the day at the
capitol, seeing members Of Congress
and others, and attending to his cor
respondence. He ascertained the wish
es of a great number of the members OF
the House. The Speaker said this after
noon that no conclusion had yet been
reached as to the committees.
The greatest trouble will be to get
the right men to serve on Rules. AS an
independent committee this will be
more difficult of organization than any
other. There are but two Democratic
members Of this committee beside the
Speaker and two Republicans.
There may be proposition made to
the House to increase the number by
addiding ore more member to the ma
iority. The Star says: "It is not true
that it has been definitely settled that
Mr.. Springer is to go at the head OF the
Committee on Ways and Means, but 1t is
entirely probable that he will be chosen
for that position, OelhS Cne HOsU plouh'u
ent of the northern Democrats, from
among whom the Chairman OF this Com
mittee will probably be selected.
1t is probable Mr.. Mills, Mr.. McMillin
and Mr.. Wilson, of West Virginia will
be appointed on the Committee together
with one man from New England, one
from New York, one from the South
and one from the far West.
The Committee will probably be in
creased to hfteen. 1t IS practically set
tied that Holman will go to the head OF
the Committee on Appropriations. 1t is
said that Mr.. Hemphill may go on the
Appropriations Committee, and that in
that event, Mr.. Heard, of Missouri, will
be the Chairman Of the House District
