Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE COM
mittees of the senate are made up by
special committee of senator's house
committees are made up by the speaker
There has been a tremendous scramble
for the desirable vacancies on the more
prominent senate committees through
out the summer, and senators seeking
specific places are filing and have been
filing numberless endorsements to sup
port their claims. The same is true Y
the house. While it is figuratively true
that the committees of the house die
with each congress, yet 1t is fact
that the committees are in effect as
much continuing body as are the
committees of the senate. Those re-
elected congressman who were MEM
bers of the choice committees of the
Fifty seventh congress, are very likely
to retain their old places in the Fifty
eighth and Speaker Cannon, like the
special committee of the senate, will
be required to ELL vacancies" rather
than make up an entire new committee

THE HOUSE COMMITTEE
Speaker Cannon Will Use His PrerOgatye to
Hold Down Legislation Not Wanted

slate. The new members have been
able to see what vacancies are to be
filed. and have governed their requests
accordingly.
There has never been an official an
nouncement that the committees of
senate and house would not be made up
until the regular session, but this con-
clusion has been generally reached by
close observers of congressional mat
ters. The known policy of Speaker
Cannon to hold down legislation, and
particularly appropriations, in the ses
sion prior to the presidential election
would lead to the conclusion that he
will do everything in his power to pre-
vent what he may regard as unneces-
sary legislation, and a very effective
way of doing this is to delay as long
an possible the organization of COM
mittees that must consider Legislation
before it goes before the mouse. AS the
republican leaders are in sympathy
with Cannon's policy, there is the same
reason for expecting delay in the or
ganization of the committees of that
body.

Eureka mines, who was aboard with
her child, and calmly put them ashore.
Returning to the other now excited
passengers he told them to get off as
fast as possible. All the personal be-
longings of the passengers and crew
were saved In the excitement no one
thought of the horse, belonging to
Tmekeeper Howell which was tied up
with a heavy rope on the lower deck
AS the boat turned over and over, at
times the horse could be seen frantical-
ly pulling at the rope. He could not
get further than the gangway' door
With each swell of the now ruined
hulk barrels of lime could be seen
thrown in all directions. striking the
poor horse, which was SO valiently try
ing to save itself from the surging
waters.
Another interesting incident in con-
nection with the accident is told by one
of the survivors. Engineer Campbell
came up to the dining room after
everybody had supposed all We're off
the boat and found the two Chinese
cooks sweeping up some soup, which
had become spilled.
When they saw Mr.. Campbell they
asked: You tink boatee slink?" When
Mr. Campbell told them they would
be drowned if they were not off in a
minute, one of the Cinnamon picked
up pillow and threw in ham. some
bread, cake, pies and other eatables
altogether, but before reaching shore
they both collapsed from fright and
had to be helped off.
Part of the hull of the wrecked boat
is landed in an eddy at Jim creek.
All the crew of the Imnaha returned
yesterday to the city in the life boats.
The passengers went on up to the
Eureka mine which is only half a mile
from where the accident occurred.
The directors of the Lewiston South
ern Navigation company. did not meet
today owing to the fact that quorum
was not present.
w. ]. Wilkinson and ]. A. Husbeye,
members of the company, will return
from Eureka the latter part of the
week, when a meeting will be had. and
some action taken in reference to the
matter of the loss of the Imnaha.
G. A. Nehrhood president of the
company, was seen this morning by a
Teller reporter
| He stated that under the circum-
stances, nothing could be done at this
time, and that while the accident to the
Imnaha was to be deplored, still the
blame could be attached to no ope.
Mr.. Nehrhood also stated that they
did not consider Captain Baughman to
blame in the least.
When asked as to whether the COM
pany would rebuild he could not state
at this time but said that should a
new boat be built, it would largely de-
pend on the action of the government
in clearing the river promptly.

required would be to pick up the barrel
with the grapple hooks and throw it
overheard as before.
This scheme worked all right this
trip. and has been worked success
fully at other similar places, but we
had the misfortune, at this. time, to
have the current toss the barrel into
our wheel. dropping the bite of the line
into our eccentric rods, which caused
the breaking of the rock shaft and dis
abling the engines, rendering the boat
practically helpless.
1T took but half a minute for the
boat to drop, stern foremost against
the big rock at Mountain Sheep When
she struck the impact lifted the wheel
and the shaft clear out of the pillar
blocks. At the same instant a large
hole was stove in bottom of the boat
and she swung around and lodged with
her bow in the opposite bank, which
completely damned the river.
1.-The boat now rested with her stern
on the Oregon shore and her bow on
the other shore.
Il noticed that she was fast filling
up with water and was of the opinion
that she would sink right there. 1
Immediately went below and ordered
all hands to the shore, they all getting
out on the Oregon side.
I'VE all stood on the rocks watching
she turned completely over, dropping
her boilers. The current picked her up
and carried her down stream. In ex-
actly twenty five minutes from the
time she struck the big rock she was
ground to atoms and a complete loss.
when she turned bottom up she
spilled her machinery, cabin and all.
The hundred barrels of lime which were
aboard could be heard suffering and
popping like the roar from a cannon.
I'VE managed to pick up the life
boats which were the means of bring
| ing us to the city"
Captain Baughman was very modest
in relating the story but an eye witness
states that he was the coolest man
aboard at the time of the accident, and
when he saw that the boat was going
down re went below and found the pas
sengers crawling on the big rocks,
but realizing the danger of the pas
sengers being left on that point should
the boat go to pieces he called them
all back aboard and talked to them
telling them to all stay at one point
until he returned.
He went to the engine room where
Engineer Campbell was trying his ut

gradually died out. Coming back &c

Mr.. Bartlett left this morning for

Mr.. Batlett stated his side did not
offer any evidence, considering that the

LARGEST CHOIR OF THE WEST
A Woman's Efforts Have Made an
Ohio Organization a Success
indianapolis Journal,)


To the First Methodist church of
Akron belongs the proud distinction of
having the largest chorus choir in the
west, and the only supplied Metho-
dist church choir west of the Allie
gheny mountains. And a woman is re-
sponsible for it ALL
Four years ago the choir was organ
present directress, with fifty voices.
Even then it rivaled the choir in Trim
have long been sung. Now is has 1875
members.
Hundreds of dollars are spent every
year to make the social side of choir
life an interesting feature. These ex
penditures are mainly responsible for
the unbounded> enthusiasm of its MEM
bers Except in rare cases of sickness
death or absence from the city, all the
choristers are present at rehearsals.
They love to sing, although they re-
ceive no compensation.
Special receptions for the singers are
only few of the many features that
create interest and keep enthusiasm at
high tide The choristers, contrary to
the general rule. turn out to rehearsals
in larger numbers than at the Sunday
services. At least 50 per cent of the
members are present at each Sunday
service.
Mrs. Collins has worked faithfully
these four years to give the choir the
high standard it possesses. Mrs. Col
Inns success has been recognized by
eminent singers in other cities, and
last May she was elected president of
the National Federation of Musical
clubs, OF which Mrs. Theodore Thomas
is the honorary president.
Mrs. Collins studied in Cleveland and
Boston. She is a graduate of Wellesley
college. which gave her two degrees.
For ten years she was director of the
Tuesday musicale. Theodore Thomas
and his orchestra appeared here three
times in the ten years.
While the big choir is expensive to
maintain, the. expense does not fall
heavily upon the congregation. The
choir is supportd mainly by generous
people.
The Akron choir is one of the few in
the United States doing oratorio work
Every year three or four concerts are
given An oratorio each year is the
musical treat of the season. It's con
cert work is the strong feature. The
first year Fair Ellen" by Max Bruch
was given: the second, The Creation,
by Haydn; the next year, The Re-
demption.' by Gounod. This year. THE
Messiah by Handel. will be sung.
