Washington, Nov. F. The Crumpacker resolution is again an innocuous public document. It will hard- ly get beyond the distinction of printing and has about as much show of passage as a proposition to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment.
 Senator Tillman of South Carolina, says he understands that the Senate Commit tee to which was referred the nomifa tion of pr.

strongly intimated to Republicans that unless they vote for the bill they will jeopardize their chances of receiving re- cognition upon the floor when they desire to call up bills for consideration which are of especial interest to their constit- uents. The situation in the House, there fore, is certainly safe for the bill.
 In the Senate a disposition is manifest to accept a bill instead of a resolution. the latter being heretofore contended for by the Senate leaders. It IS probable that two weeks will be consumed in debate in the Senate, but the bill is sure of pass age. Friends of the bill in the Senate point to the fact that during the recent special session of the Senate a two-thirds vote was secured in favor of the reciproc- ity treaty. They therefore appear confi- dent that a mere majority may be se- cured for the present bill.
 Roosevelt Determined.
 There Is no doubt among those best in- formed that the bill will pass. The Pres ident is Just as determined as ever and the Republicans of both Houses gener- ally are with him.
 Representative Tawney of Minnesota, William Alden Smith of Michigan. and others who were identified with the beet sugar faction of the Republican member ship in the House, said tonight that the bill would pass the House beyond ques- ton. Senators Burrows of Michigan, Bur ton of Kansas and others. who occupied corresponding positions of opposition in the Senate, say the Senate will certainly pass the bill. Thus the situation appears absolutely certain for the advocates of reciprocity. The most competent author ity in the Senate-Republican and Demo- cratic-says that an organized filibuster in that body is impossible
 Any movement looking to the removal of the differential duty on sugar-a move aimed at the American Sugar Refining Company-will be voted down in both houses.
 There was a full attendance of the mi nority members of the Ways and Means committee tonight. The situation was discussed. but no conclusion was reached as to solidity of action. It is said only two Democrats on the committee, Cooper Of Texas and Robertson of Louisiana, Will oppose the bill. MT. Robertson. who has been fighting hard for Louisia na s sugar interests. disgusted at the demor- allzation of the beet sugar members by the Rough Riders whip-popping in the White House. said to your correspondent tonight he did not believe there would be thirty votes in the House against recip- rocity.

Bailey's New Assirnment

Senator Bailey of Texas is to at Ia st realize the ambition he frankly avowed when he first came to the Senate. He IS to go on the Finance Committee on the recommendation of the Democratic steer ing committee.
 Another momentous event as to this committee is Nhe disappointment or rather surprise thatsSenator German is not to resume his old place on the Finance Com mittee which has always had a group of statesmen who have had an immense deal 10 do with shaping both the fiscal and tarin laws of the country.
 senator German was predisposed to go on the committee, but will forego the in clination His friends among the Sena- tors have made the suggestion that there lurked possible embarrassment for him In being member of that committee and at the same time a much desired candi- date for President. Senator German ap- pears to have realized some force in this idea, and has accordingly indicated his desire to go on the Appropriation Com- mittee of the Senate.
 There are no vacancies in that com mittee, but two Senators are members of , both committees Daniel of Virginia and Teller of Colorado. It Is believed that one of them will yield a place to Senator German
 Senator Bailey will rejoice at his ap- pointment. He has been diligent and ardent student of government finances ever since he left the House to go to the Senate. He has demonstrated knowledge of financial subjects, a clearness Of view and a courage of enunciation which last session surprised the veterans of the Senate.
 --- Texan Not Hlde-bound. | He showed that he h,. ,,x, hide-bound. unhesltatingly avowing his approval of several features of the Aid rich bill. Bailey believes that the bank ing system will endure many generations and that it should be the aim of legisla- tion 10 dffuse it's benefits as widely as possible with due regard to the safety Of the governments finances and the maintenance of States business conditions. Senator aBiley has recently spent much time in New York, where he has pursued his studies with great object lessons close around him. He is not enamoured of the allurements of Gotham. as has been re- ported. and has said to The Advertiser s correspondent: "I would rather be a country editor in Texas than Wall Street multi millionaire"
 There were two vacancies on the Finance Committee, left by the retire. ment of Vest of Missouri and Jones of Arkansas. The new member besides MT. Bailey will be MT. Dubois of Idaho. R H. Watkins.
