COWHERD TAKES
PLACE OF CR|GCS
Democratic CongressiOnaICOm
mittee Elects Chairman, but
DlSagreeS on Secretary.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April T.
Representative w. S. Cowherd, of Mis-
souri,, tonight was elected chairman of
the Democratic congressional commit
tee without opposition. About thirty
members of the congressional commit
tee were present in the minority room
at the capitol. Mr.. Cowherd was not
present.
representative Griggs, of Georgia,
the retiring chairman of the commit
tee, presided. Mr.. Cowherd was placed
in nomination by Representative Ran
dali, of Texas, and the vote was taken
without speeches or debate.
The election of a secretary of the
committee, however, was not so easily
disposed of. The present secretary,
Charles A. Edwards, was placed in
nomination by Representative Kehoe,
of Kentucky, and seconded by Repre-
sentative Bowers, of Mississippi, act
ing for Representative Williams, the
minority leader, who was late in ar
irving.
Opposition to Secretary Edwards de-
veloped. Representative Dinsmore, of
Arkansas, moved that the newly elect
ed chairman be authorized to appoint
a secretary to the committee. Repre-
sentative Thayer, of Massachusetts,,
Endorsed this motion. 1t was mention
ed that Secretary Edwards had some
connection with. the Hearst propa-
ganda for the presidency. The friends
of Mr.. Edwards answered by. stating
that this fact ought not to influence
the vote either way, as he maintained
this connection entirely outside of his
official duties with the committee
The committee adjourned at II
o'clock without electing a secretary
Many speeches were made on the sub
ject and no other nomination was
made for the office. Senator Carmack,
of Tennessee, and Representative
Ransdell, of Louisiana, made speeches
against the election of Edwards. The
adjournment was voted for by the
friends of Edwards. The absence of
Mr.. Cowherd was given as a reason
for postponing action as to the election
of a secretary. The next meeting will
be called by the new chairman.

of l, 759,620. The same cities between
go and 1900 increased over 80 per

Judge kaIua, Who Suspended Work, Is
Removed by the President.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Z
John w. Kalua, United States Judge
of the Second circuit at Honolulu, was
today removed from office by President
Roosevelt. Recently an intimation was
conveyed to Judge Kalua that, upon
the expiration of his term on June
next, he would not be reappointed. A
few days ago the judge practically
suspended the work of his court by
adjourning all pending criminal cases
until June 6, the day after the expira-
ton of his term of office.
This action ELECTED a protest from
the people of Honolulu. Attorney Gen
eral Knox took up the matter with the
president and it was decided to re-
move Judge Kalua at once and to APP
point a successor who would conduct
the business of the court. An appoint
ment probably will be sent to the sem
ate In few days.

may chance to go there.
McLaurin said that arrests of pic

Indianola and neighboring town,
but that the arrests were due to the
fact that their wares were of an i'm
proper and lewd character and not
because they were selling pictures OF
the president and Washington.
