GE0RGIANS JARED WELL.
SPEAKER HENDERSON NAMES
HOUSE COMMITTEES.

While MIR. Livingston Heads the
Minority on the Appropriations
Committee-Mr. BrantIey Is on
the Public Buildings Committee.
Early Appointments of Commit
tees Will Facilitate Legislation.
Washington, Dec. 10.-In the House
to-day. Speaker Henderson announced
the committee assignments and the
members of the Georgia delegation
Jared exceedingly we'll, by retaining
their former places on nearly all of
the prominent committees in the
House. Representative Lester is
again located on the River and Harbor
Committee, where he will be able to
safeguard the interests of Savannah
harbor, with his usual ability and sue
cess. With Col. Lester on guard it
is safe to predict that if there is a
river and hsgEber bill passed during the
present Congress, Savannah harbor will
be we'll taken care of. Representative
Livingston goes back to the Commit
tee on Appropriations as the ranking
member of the minority, so that the
interests of Georgia will not be neg
lected while "Col. Lon" is on duty.
The other members of the delegation
are equally well provided for. With
Brantley on the Public Buildings Com
mittee, Tate on Naval Affairs, Howard
on Foreign Affairs, Maddox on insu-
lar affairs. Gliggs on Postoffices and
Post Roads, Lewis on Banking and
Currency, Adamson on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, Fleming on Judi
ciary. and Bartlett on Committee on
Elections, no other delegation in the
House has a better committee repre-
sentation.
Usually the committees are not ap-
pointed until after the holiday recess,
but Speaker Henderson had the situa-
tian we'll in hand when Congress met,
and having completed the lists, he an
nounced them. The early appointment
of the committees should facilitate leg
islation considerably, as the commit
tees can now organize and get their
work under way before the holiday adj
journment.
A resolution for the distribution of
the Presidents message was made the
occasion of a general speech on the
Philippines by the venerable ex-Speak-
err Galusha A Grow of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Burke of South Dakota formally
announced the death of Senator Kyle,
and as a mark of respect the House
Immediately adjourned. The adjourn
ment was until Friday. The recess for
the holidays will be from Dec. 10 to
Jan. 6.
