TEXAS MAN TO HEAD
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
Congressman Henry Said to Be Posi-.
lively Slated for chairmanship
of House Body.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Robert Lee
Henry. representative in congress from
Texas. will be the chairman of the
democratic house caucus during the
next congress. This is said TO have
been practically settled in the last few
weeks
Craftsmanship of the caucus is at
because it carries with it little sub
stantial power. Representative James
Hay, of Virginia, has been three times
chairman, and at present occupies the
position. He does not want it again,
having declared that such honor ought
to be passed around. Accordingly, the
friends of Mr.. Henry have been busy
ing themselves.
Representative Slayden. of Texas, a
close friend of Mr. Henry, is handling
the matter for the latter, and it is
thought there will be only one candi-
date
Possibility of opposition to John
Sharp Williams for house leader has
about vanished, according TO politicians
who have been here lately. Clark or
De Almond, of Missouri, might either
of them make an effective fight on VIII
liams. but neither of them has any
designs on the leadership.
At the last congress Mr.. De Almond
was said To have been approached
about the matter and declined to ac-
cept the Job.

gal battle lasting a quarter of a cen
tury, DR.. Austin Drake. veterinary
surgeon of Springfield, has come into
a fortune of millions. DR.. Drake will
leave Springfield soon for New York
City. where he has been informed by
attorneys there that $3,0O0,000 in cash

however, is only a portion of the for
tune he will inherit, and ii is said the
remainder will exceed even this
amount. DR.. Drake is poor man and
practically his whole life has been
spent in litigation with the hope of Sc
curing the vast fortune to which he
knew he was entitled. He Is now 40
years old. His two sons are employed
as motormen on a local street railway.
The estate for which DR.. Drake has
battled and won is said TO consist or

TALKS OF THE
DAVIS CAPTURE
J. S. Steele In Cavalry That Followed
Southern Commander Through
CaroIinas.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. S. Steele, of South
Bend, Ind, are visiting their son, F. J.
Steele, in this city. Mr.. Steele is one of
the few survivors of the cavalry raid
which resulted in the capture OF Jeff
Davis at IrvinsviIle, Ga, in the spring
of 1865. He was a member of Com
pany NJ, 4th Michigan Cavalry. Mr.
Steele tells with enthusiasm of the his
toric ride across North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Georgia, which the COM
mand of 5000 cavalrymen made after
the southern commander.
For days the small company with
which he was connected followed just
behind the southern commander, and
when they entered camp at night they
would find the Goals of the camp which
Davis had just deserted ahead of them.
At Irvinsville, Ga, they were told by
the negroes, who proved of valuable as
sistance throughout the march, that
the southern camp had just been bro
ken. They crossed Browns ferry, and
then learned that the man they were
looking for had not crossed. They re-
turned, and made the capture about a
mile from Irvinsville According TO
Mr.. Steele, the story that the southern
general wore wOmen's clothing is false.
He says Davis Wore a waterproof coat,
but not women's clothing.
Mr.. Steele expects to be in the city
for some time. He is exchanging rem
iniscences with the veterans who live
here, and has many interesting stories
to tell of the scenes of the war along
the border lines

Through With Divorce Suit.

Washington. Aug. 16.-When Capt
E. F. Taggart gets through with the d.
vorce suit which is being so hotly con-
tested by his wife at Wooster. Ohio
and which has brought out so many
ugly stories regarding the daily lives
of officers and their wives at army
posts he may have to face a court-mar-
tial on charges rejecting on his con-
duct as an officer. These charges. while
not directly the outcome of the divorce
suit. are being help up until that case
is concluded, and there is possibility,
that the revelations made at Wooster
may have much to do with the outcome
of the cOurt-martial. 1t was announced
at the war department that the charges
were filed last April Just what they
contain was not made public.
Taggart also filed charges against
Col Miner some time ago, but they
were considered trivial and were dis
missed.

Dr. WIIder'S Remarks.
DR.. Wilder said among other things:
"Individualism must give way to the
association of interests. We shall
gain nothing as a result of these delib-
erations and discussions unless the de-
sire of the associations to see their
particular needs brought forward and
advocated, give way TO a full. free and
unSeliish discussion of the needs of
the whole country.
with this element safeguarded. this
conference will become a means of
education to the entire country. and
from ii must spring an inspiration to
our legislative bodies. which shall
make it possible for them to frame
wise. just and sane laws governing
our reciprocal relations with other ma
tons"
Considerable excitement was caused
before the proceedings started by the
distribution of a pamphlet signed by
Albert Clarke, secretary of the Home
Market club, of Boston, assailing the
reciprOcate movement and backing up
the attack with an alleged letter from
John NJ. Carson. chief of the bureau OF
manufactures in the department of
commerce and labor. CarsOn's letter
was dated July %, and declared: The
department has no information regard
ing an option by the principal nations
Of continental Europe of high tariff
rates" The communication further
sets forth that the department had
no copies of the German tariff." This
admission was taken by Clarke as a
basis of argument seeking to show
there was no need of a reciprocity
