committees in the house. John A. L. Hull
of Iowa is chairman of the military COM
mittee, and George E. Foss, Illinois, chair
man of the committee ON naval affairs.
In the senate Yankees are at the head of
the war committees-Hawley, Connecticut,
military affairs, and Hale, Maine, naval
affairs. The Craftsmanship of one of these
committees is desirable as it gives the
bearer high standing in army and navy
circles. Each of the committees has charge
of an appropriation bill that will carry
this year about $75,OO0,000. The bills are
for the maintenance of the army and navy
and for the building of new ships. A man
who spends money, whether it be his own
or Uncle Sans is bound to be popular.
It follows that as these committees ex-
pend government funds by the bushel the
chairmen are able to exert strong intiu-
ence in legislative affairs.
Hull was born in Ohio in lS4l and re-
moved with his parents to Iowa in 1873.
He rose to the rank of captain in the
Civil war. Wounds received in charge
at Black river May 7, 1868, forced his re-
tirement from the service. He has been
in public office almost continuously since
1872, as secretary of the Iowa senate, lieu
tenant governor and member of congress.

LAPP AND HIS FAMILY PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN IN LAPLAND

CHRlSTIANIA. - One of the least
known people OF Europe are the Lapps,
who occupy that part of Norway, Sweden
and Russia which borders on the Arctic
ocean, between the Atlantic and the White
sea. They are a sort of Eskimo and speak
sort of Finnish which is closely related to
the language of northern Asia.
Last winter when the Swedish inhabi-
tants of the north of that country were
dying from starvation the Lapps were suf-
fering scarcely at all. They till the soil
very little and are not dependent upon it,
so that the failure of the seasons crops
made no particular difference to them.
Their wealth is in dogs and reindeer and
their living is from hunting and shooting.
They are comparatively few in number and
as rule have no fixed residence, going in
summer where the grazing is best for the
reindeer and in winter where they can
get fuel and where the hunting and fish
ing are good. Most of them are legally
Russian subjects, but they are so remote

TRIAL OF BECHTEL
FAMILY

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Jan. l4.-This city
is now witnessing the uncommon spectacle
of an eptire family on trial for partici-
patton in the brutal murder of one of its
members
The family in question is the Bechtels,
consisting of the mother, Mrs. Catherine
Bechtel, Charles and John Bechtel and
Martha Bechtel, who, together with Alois
Eeksten and David Weisenberg, are ae-
cused of the brutal murder of Miss Mabel
Beehtel, a good-looking girl of 81.
No murder committed in the East in
recent years has been shrouded in such
deep mystery as is this one. Nor has any
affair of the same kind aroused SO much
interest nationally.
District Attorney Lichtenwalner has
been granted permission to submit an add
ditional bill to the grand jury charging
Mrs Catherine Bechtel with direct muir
der, Up to this time all the accused had
been charged with being accessories be-
fore and after the fact. These charges
remain against the other five.
On the morning of October p Mrs.
Bechtel, upon arising and going out into
the yard, stumbled over the dead body of
her daughter Mabel. In her story to the
police authorities Mrs. Bechtel stated that
during the night she had been aroused by
a noise in the rear of the house, and
upon investigating, so the story goes, saw
two men carry into the next door neigh
boris yard a large white bundle.
The discovery of the body followed the

next morning and David Weisenberg, a
sutton of the dead girl, was charged by
the family with the murder, it having
been stated that he was out driving with
Mabel on the day before the murder was
discovered. The police did not take stock
in the family's story, especially as Weisen-
berg was later able to prove an alibi. His
arrest on the accessory charges was made
simply because he might aid in convicting
the guilty.
The arrest of the entire Bechtel family
and Alois Eckstein, the fiance of the muir
dered girl, followed.
Hardly had they been placed in jail
when the news was spread broadcast that
Tom. the eldest son, had committed sui
eide
District Attorney Lchtenwainer says
Tom made confession which will imph-
cate the entire family, and probably bring
them all to the scaffold.
At the trial this morning Mrs. Bechtel
pleaded mot guilty"

AMERICAN OFFICIALS WHO
HAVE BREAST PLATTERS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
state department has asked congress for
authority to deliver watches, medals and
decorations of eagles, dragons double
dragons and other creatures to officials OF
the government. These decorations have
been rendered by the crowned heads OF
Europe and elsewhere They cannot be
accepted by the gentlemen on Uncle Sam s
payroll without a special act OF congress.
Civil naval and military officials are in
cluded in the list
Some of these proffered gifts, the coun-
tries of origin and the persons to whom
they were rendered are; Order of the
second class of the red eagle, Germany, to
Captain McCalla; cross of officer OF

from civilization and have so little worth
the trouble of a call from the tax eoIlec-
tor that their political burdens rest lightly
upon them.
The Laplanders house looks good deal
like an Indian wigwam, only instead of
being covered with skins the poles which
give it the well known conical shape are
filled in with mud moss and stones. 1t is
therefore warmer and stronger than the
Indian wigwam, and better able to with
stand the Arctic winters. The Lanlander
is like the Indian in building his fire in
the middle of the floor of his one loom
and letting the smoke go ouJ Ok a big
hole in the roof. In old days the Lapps
were dressed almost wholly in skins, but
of late years ahey have worn good deal
of heavy wooden cloth manufactured in
Norway, for which they exchange their
skins, reindeer, etc. Their babies they
strap into sort of case not unlike that
of the Indian papoose.

Rival Republicans have made sturdy eff
forts to unseat him, but Hull has been
victorious now for seven terms.
Foss is a good bit of wonder in ooli
tics. That may not be surprising, though,
because he is a resident of Chicago. He
was born in Vermont in 1868, graduated
from Harvard in 1885, and attended law
schools until 1889. Five years later he
occupied a seat in congress. Now he is
chairman of the naval committee. He got
the appointment originally from Speaker
Henderson. Foss prevented Cannon from
getting the Illinois delegation when he was
a candidate for speaker against Henderson
four years ago, and thereby was largely
instrumental in causing ''Uncle Joe's with
drawal from the race. 1t was thought by
many that Cannon would retaliate this
year by depriving Foss of the chairman
ship. Rather than have a muss in his
own delegation, however, the speaker kept
Foss at the front.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14-The strike Of the
livery drivers began anew today, after a
truce of Is days following the Iroquois
theater fire. Ninety-five per cent of the
1000 drivers of carriages and hearses are
said to be out and only black undertakers
wagons are put into service in lieu OF
hearses at funerals, while the mourners
are obliged to again resort to street cars
in iourneying to cemeteries. The failure
of the employers and employees to agree on
a wage scale caused resumption of the
strike.
