nents Of the House Committees. No one
was prepared for the radical changes
made in the personnel Of some Of the inn
portant committees. Springer Of Illinois
gives way to Wilson of West Virginia as
Chairman Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and the Illinoisan has the Chair
manship of the Committee on Banking
and Currency. Holman OF Indiana, the
venerable Watchdog of the Treasury"
Is deposed from the Committee on Appro-
priations in favor,of Sayres of Texas, and
IS given the head OF the Committee on
Indian Affairs. Bland of Missouri is re-
tained at the head of the Committee on
Coinage, but the free coinage people are
disappointed in the committee being
changed as to leave much doubt whether
the Tree coinage people are not in the mi
norIty, and whether the financial policy
OF the Administration may not fiud a ma
Jorlty in the committee. Congressman
Tracey of New York, who is an Admin
istration man, is second on the Com
mittee Of Claims. The Speaker de-
ferred to the repeating element to
such an extent as to make the
committee mildly free coinage" in
stead Of radically free coinage
and insists on counting Kilgore Of Texas
with the free-coinage men. The commit
tee will only stand nine to eight for free
coinage. The Committee on Banking
and Currency is said to oppose free COIN
age eleven to six. The removal Of Hol-
man from the head Of the Appropriations
Committee is Interpreted by some to
mean that the Speaker favors more liberal
appropriations in the Fifty-third Con-
gress. The removal Of Springer from the
Ways and Means Committee gives this
important Craftsmanship of the House to
the South, but it is said from this that the
make up of the Committee on Ways and
Means does not indicate any essential
change from the policy of the last Con-
gress.
