GETTING Committees IN SHAPE
Great Pressure Being Brought to Bear
on the Sneaker,

the Speaker.
WASHINTON, Dec. 5.-Speaker Reed has
begun for the first time to definitely outline
hiD list of committees on paper. After re-
ceiving members Of the house all day yester-
day he sat down at o'clock and worked
until a late hour putting on paper the as
signments he had decided upon up to that
time. Today h gave more interviews to
members, and listened to the presentation
of their claims. No information has leaked
from the speakers room, except remarks
made by Mr. Reed to the friends of a member
who asked for the chairmanship OF the COM
mttee on labor, which seemed to indicate
that he has decided to give that place to Mr.,
Phillips of Pennsylvania, whose name has
bien presented by the labor organizations.
The labor unions are taking an interest
in the committee on emigration, as well as
the labor committee, anc are endeavoring
to bring about the selection of the COM
mitte:men who will favor Senator Lodges
bill. which, among other things. would bar
illterate foreigners from entry. 1t is esti-
mated that not less than 20 per cent of the
foreigners admitted under existing laws would
be excluded by system requiring the ability
to read and write their own language, and
this is what the labor organizations wish to
secure.
Probably the strongest pressure being
brought to bear upon the speaker comes from
various candidates for the committee on ways
and means. The republicans will be entitled
10 eleven places on this body II the party
proportion OF the last congress is maintained,
and seven OF the eleven are new men, The
influence Of business interests OF every class
and section has been invoked, and many
letters and petitions are pouring in. Next
to ways and means in their deslrablity from
the standpoint Of the members are the COM
mittees on appropriations and rivers and har-
bors, the two bodies which have charge OF
the distribution of the largest sums of money.

Through His Brain.
DENVER, Dec. 5.-(Special Telegram.) y
John NJ Kinkade one of the best known cit
liens of Denver and a former resident of
Iowa, committed suicide in the berth of a
Pullman car on the Rio Grande road from
Cripple Creek to Denver last night The
discovery was made this morning, when the
porter of the car slipped in a pool Of blood,
and thrnsting aside the curtain found the
body Of Kinkade, the pillow and sheet of the
berth in which he lay drenched in his life's
blood, and ii was still tr.cking from bullet
hole in his head He had killed himself dur
ing the night, sending bullet through his
BRAIN Several persons in the car heard the
shot, but thought 1t was the jarring of the
car. Kinkade had for years been a sufferer
from acute kidney troubles and when the
attacks came experienced eXcruciating pain,
and 1t is supposed that in one of these
spasms he decided to end his life. The sui
eide was deliberate, for he had not un-
dressed.
Previous to taking the train he had talked
business with Mr.. Hartin Of Cripple Creek
and was hopeful of the future. Mr.. Kinkade
was 60 years of age. When a young man
he removed to Iowa, coming to Denver about
fifteen years ago, and engaging in the real
estate business. His trip to Cripple Creek
was with the object OF starting in business
there. He leaves six children, three In bust
ness in Denver, one in Chicago, and the
present addresses of the others are unknown
all by his first wife. He had been twice mar
ried.

PRESIDENT STARTS ON A HUNT.
Expects to BE Gone Something Over
Week,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The president
left Washington tonight on the lighthouse
tender Maple to recuperate from the strain
he has been under in the preparation Of his
message to congress on a hunting trip
through the North Carolina sounds. With
him were DIR. o'Reilly Commander George
f. Wilde, naval secretary of the lighthouse
board and Commander Benjamin p. Lam
berton, In charge of the lighthouse district
comprising the sounds. The little vessel was
we'll provisioned, and 1t is likely that II the
weather is fair the president will not return
to Washington before the 18th or 18th OF the
month The Maple was headed for the mouth
of Chesapeake bay just about dusk, and the
trip began with a cloudy, northwest and a
rather raw and biting wind that is commonly
regarded as the best possible weather for
water fowl in this section.
Unless it is deemed well to lie up in the
lower Potomac over night on the chance of
picking up some ducks there, the Maple
should arrive at Norfolk tomorrow forenoon
There she will enter the Chesapeake and
Albemarle canal and pass through to the
upper end of the system of sounds which en-
tend from Virginia clear down to Whining
ton, N. G. Reports received by the president
indicate that ducks and geese have appeared
in these favored waters In large numbers
on their flight southwark before the winter
gales, and 1t Is hoped that the trip will be
even more successful that that undertaken
last spring In the same waters, when most
of the fowl had already started northward.
All of the presidents companions have made
this trip before In his company. and con-
sequently are well acquainted with the best
shooting grounds 1t is expected that the
cruise will extend as far south as Wash
lngton, N c., though most of the time the

the night the passenger train on the Kansas
City, st. Joseph & Council Bluffs road was

aud the other in New York The application
for continuance was overruled.
A special jury was drawn to hear the evil
dence in the Grove case and II is being tried
before a special Judge. The strongest evil
dence for the state is that of Baggageman
Skinner, who was in the expires scar when
the robbery was committed with the con-
ductor and Fireman Skinner he was stood up
in one end of the car and guarded by one Of
the robbers. He says Grove was the man
who guarded them, and alleges that Just be-

Of the strongest points made by the state
was tho fact htat all knowledge of the bot
tie of whisky was kept from the public until

Colorado officers who are waiting to see how

there is strong case against him there, and
If he is tried will get long penitentiary

berry, but his attorneys say the admission
was made during one of the periods when he
