Committee on Ways and Means.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 21-Speaker
Crisp to-day announced the standing
committees of the House. Mr.. Springer,
of Illinois, is no longer at the head OF
the committee on ways and means, be-
ing succeeded by Representative Will
son, of West Virginia. Springer is
at the head of the committee
on banking and currency and
Bland, of Missouri, retains his
old place as chairman of the committee
on coinage, weights and measures.
Speaker Crisp has given Wisconsin
members tolerably fair recognition.
Messrs. Barnes and Haugen drew good
prizes, the former getting the coveted
place on ivers and harbors, an
assignment much desired by
him. Haugen wanted the ways
and means committee, but got
banking and currency, which is next
best thing in view of the pending finan-
cial legislation. The Speaker squared
himself with Barwig and Brickner by
reversing his action of two years ago.
Brickner is deprived of his Craftsmanship
of the committee on expenditures in the
Treasury Department and the place
given to Barwig, who is also placed on
placed On alcoholic liquor traffic: Brick
ner is, however, retained on the COM
mittee, which is satisfactory to him.
Messrs. Somers and Babcock have Jared
very well for new members. The Mil
warlkee representative gets public
lands and expenditures in the
Interior Department., While Babcock
goes on the District of Columbia, a
committee for which there were many
applicants. Mr.. Lynch is the fourth
man on Indian affairs and chairman OF
the mileage committee. Shaw will look
after private land claims and mines
and mining. Cooper is to serve
on claims and Pacific railroads, where
his legal training will make him useful.
AS whole, the delegation is gratitied
permit, having two chairmanships,
an increase of one, and averaging better
as far as important committees are con-
cerned. With Barnes Of Wisconsin,
and Stephenson, of Michigan, on the
rivers and harbors committee, navlga-
ton interests on Lake Michigan will be
we'll taken care OF.
