Fordney end Smith for Ways and
Mesns.

Washington, Dec. 7-Representa-
tiyes William Alden Smith and j. w
Fordney have been aware for several
months that republican vacancy ex-
lists on the house committee Of ways and
means. This is the committee that will
compile tariff revision bill some time
probably between now and March 4,
1907, when the Fifty-ninth congress
which begins next March, expires. The
vacancy came by the transfer of repre-
sentative Metcalf of California, to the
head of the department of commerce
and labor Why VIM. Alden and Ford
ney are particularly aware of the va
cancy is because each still cherishes
hope to become a member of that COM
mittee. They tried it year ago, but
it was then case of the Michigan dele
cation being divided, while Indiana had
u candidate for whom the Hoosier dele
CATION was united, so, as usual in such
cases, the Hoosier was appointed.
Speaker Cannon may heed the plea that
Metcalf was the only Pacific coast mem
Der on the committee, and the Pacific
coast is, therefore, entitled to the place,
in which case both William Alden and
Fordney will be disappointed.

Eordncy Led Them All.

In referring to the official canvass of
votes cast in Saginaw county at the re-
cent election the Courier Herald says:
Congressman Fordney received TO-
l7a votes to 10, 1874 for the highest Roose-
welt elector. 1t is believed that he has
the honor not accorded any other Michi-
gan congressman of receiving more
votes in his home county than. were
given to the president.
,"Mr. Fordney's plurality over his
democratic opponent, Patterson, was
A,72l in Saginaw county, larger than
the plurality received by any county
official and his vote was larger than
that cast for any county official. Mr.
Fordney's plurality in the district is
1859, or gain of more than 100 per
cent over his plurality of two years
ago.
Eight years ago Saginaw county gave
the democratic congressman a plurality
of 1900, and his plurality in the dis
trict was s84. Six years ago Congress-
man Fordney lost the county by about
700, and carried the district by 1903
-Four years ago he carried Saginaw
county by $50, and the district by 4,31O
Two years ago he carried the county by
about 1,700, and the district by 6,103. 3"

- TARIFF COMMISSION BILL.
Fordney Will Introduce One, It's
Reported.

Reported.
Washington, Dec. 5.-Republicans
in congress-were as much interested to-
day in the report that Rep. Fordney OF
Michigan is to introduce tariff COM
mission bill as they were in the pend
ing proceedings of the third session of
the present congress. Mr.. :Fordney's
bill will provide for a commission to
discuss and prepare a tariff measure,
the commission to be given plenty OF
time in the big undertaking.
This bill will be introduced soon and
will be wedge for the opening of de-
bate that will be acrimonious. Not all
the Michigan representatives by a con-
siderable number are in favor of the
Fordney measure. The standpatters
are unalterably againt it and say so,
but they don't care to have their names
used in criticism of colleagues meas
ure.

SAYS GIRLS
SHOULD NOT
BUNDLE UP

Greenwich. Conn, Nov. 2s.-If Miss
mary hall. a boarding school for young
women in this city. could have her way
women would be hstless all the year
round.
Likewise. in so far as a liberal interpre-
tation of conventionslity permits, the fair
sex would live longer by having their
bodies unhampered by clothing.
Miss Wallis has introduced this system
OF living into Rosemary hall, and the
sight of groups OF madens strolling
through the streets OF Greenwich with
their tresses flying has aroused much en-
thusiastic comment.
The young women who follaw Miss
Wallis instruction have cast aside their
millinery and wear loose sweater and a
walking skirt.
Miss Waits advocates that the costumes
worn by women be reduced TO a graceful
and decorous minimum. IL is ber un-
shakable belief that "bundling up IN
responsible for more colds than anything
else. Even when the mercury hovers
low she would have women wear light
clothing.
First the hat is abolished and the stu
dent goes about bareheaded. Then the
clothing In slowly reduced until only light
garments are worn. This treatment will
result, Miss Wallis claims. in beautifying
the hair and i'm benefting the health.
The athletic director OF Rosemary hall
expresses the conviction that attainments,
sensibility and wit are enhanced by the
graceful complement OF bounding health.
In this Miss Caroline Ruutz- Rees. prin-
cipal OF the school, agrees, and she has
not opposed the adoption OF the system.
Miss Wallis has so far tried her in
structions only upon the harder maidens
OF the school. and I'm every case where
letters have been received from the
pupils parents forbidding the course she
has refused 10 allow the young woman
10 adopt the system.
Rosemary hall is the property OF a cor
poration which numbers among its stock
holders many men OF social and financial
prominence in New York city and in
Greenwich 1t has about 200 pupils
certificate OF graduation Is accepted
as a successful entrance examination at
Bryn Mawr. A stan OF liveried men ser
wants wait upon the smart maidens. and
an effort Is made 10 make the school as
homelike as possible.
There Is a large gymnasium equipped
with every known appliance for exer-
else and this departments walls are en-
blazoned with records and trophies.
The young women take with enthu-
siasm 10 the "no-hat-light-clothes" plan.
and IL is being followed TO the letter by
most OF them. The recent cold snap has
not frightened them.
