PAYNE NOT DEP0SED
WILL BE APPROPRIATION COM
MITTEFS CHAIRMAN.

The reports that are being given wide cir
culation just now to the effect that Speaker
Cannon has deposed Representative Serene
Payne of New York as floor leader of the
House republicans are calculated TO excite
amusement among those familiar with the
situation. 1t is perfectly true that Mr..
Payne will not be-except in name-the re-
publican floor leader during the Fifty-ninth
Congress. but that doesn't mean that Speak
er Cannon has been swinging the AK or that
any heads have recently dropped in the
goodbye" basket.
As a matter of fact Mr.. Payne hasn't been
republican floor leader in anything save
name for a good while and this. 1t may be
said, is due to a change gradually worked
out by shifting conditions rather than
through any sins of commission or omis-
SION by the chairman of the ways and means
committee.
The floor leader of the Fifty-ninth Con-
greSs will pc found in the chairman of the
House committee on appropriations, what
ever his name may be. Since the passage
of the Dingley act and the occurrence of
the little war" of eight years ago this
great committee has forged to the front
until now IL Is, in Importance, head and
shoulders over the ways and means commit
tee. The Cannon policy of economy. of cut
ting the garment to fit the cloth, instead OF
using more cloth, is somewhat responsible
for this. The chairman of appropriations
not only has to look out for the appropria-
tons bills which come from his own COM
mittee but also for those important meas
ures appropriating for agriculture, the ma
val establishment, etc. He must be on
watch all the time, a flea In his and a
word in his mouth. He must be there with
the goods, and 1t Is the chairman OF appro-
prlations who has come to be. in everything
save name. the floor leader of the House
republicans. Whoever that chairman may
be, whether Tawney or one OF the other
possibilities. makes no difference The old
conditions are reversed, and 1t will be the
appropriations chairman who viii stand at
the Speakers right hand. even as the chair
man of ways and means will stand at his
left.
Mr. Cannon, while chairman of the APP
preparations committee, during the Fifty
sixth and Fifty-seventh Congresses, was to
all intents and purposes the floor leader.
He may not have worn the title, but that
at best is an empty honor He was the real
thing without 1t just the same.
Consequently all this chatter about Mr..
Payne being deposed is idle and amusing.
Mr.. Payne's status during the Fifty-nnth
| Congress will probably be no different from
what 1t has been in the immediate past
| He win be the nominal floor leader: he will
| loom large and imposing to the eye and he
viii move that the House do now adjourn y
1 But the real floor leader has yet to be
named.

After President Roosevelt has a confer

of the District of Columbia who will serve
under the new law. This means that four
of the present justices will lose their posi-
tions. There has been hot fight on the

men. and the Attorney General has been
flooded with recommendations Of various
kinds. He has been giving the subject Sc
rious consideration and has IL was said to-

President himself has given the selections
no consideration and will not do So He
has been too busy. and all papers relating

to the Department of Justice
The Attorney General has never been so

applicants for appointments to much higher

able to make selections about which there
will be no objection.
At least one thing is determined. The
six appointees will be from the present list
of justices and no new men will be given
opportunity. At least that is the situation
to date. From the best information to be
had at this time 1t is said to be probable
that the Attorney General has about deter

THE ANACOSTIA FLATS
BILL OUTLINED FOR THEIR I'M
PROVEMENT.
Congress Asked to Authorize Districl
Commissioners to Submit Re-
port and Recommendations.

AS the result of conferences with repre-
sentatives of the Board of Trade. Business
Mems Association citizens associations
and other interests affected. and with the
chief of engineers. L. s. Army and the En-
sineer Commissioner Commissioner Mac
farland has outlined plan to bring about
the general Improvement of the Anacostia
river flats as soon as practicable.
The first step Is to be the Introduction of
a bill which he has drafted, providing
simply that the Commissioners of the Dis
trict be and they are hereby authorized
and directed to submit to Congress re-
port upon the Improvement of the So
called flats of the Anacostia river from its
mouth to the District line with recomenda-
lions and estimates of cost. This was
framed In brief and simple terms, in ac-
cordance with the advice of those most in
terested. confirmed by the advice of sena-
tors and representatives whom Mr.. Mac
farland consulted about the matter. Later,
1t may be necessary to provide also for
judicial settlement of the titles involved
But the general conclusion was that for the
present the most important thing was to
get comprehensive plan OF Improvement
based upon the projects of Lieut. Col
Charles j. Allen, u. s. Engineers and
others, so as to have working scheme
Action Of Department of Justice
The Department of Justice has informed
Commissioner Macfarland that It will pre-
sent at the coming session of Congress its
report on United States titles in the Ana
costa river region, ordered by Congress, to-
gether with the new survey and map pre-
pared under the same order by the War De-
partment. Senators and representatives
have told Commissioner Macfarland that
they saw no reason for further delay In the
consideration OF the matter, and have ex-
pressed their interest in 1t. Several of them
have this week made personal examination
Of Anacostia fats. and are more impressed
than ever with the danger to health and the
detrlment to the beauty of the national CAP
ital which their present state involves
Mr.. Macfarland said today that he was
very hopeful that favorable action would
be taken at the coming session looking
to the general Improvement of the Anacos-
tia fiats. If there is river and harbor
bill at the coming session the chief of en-
gineers will ask for additional appro-
priation to carry on the dredging of the
Anacostia river channel UP to the navy
yard bridge. under the first section OF Lieut..
Col Aliens project, which calls for total
appropriation OF over 81. 100000, of which
$4,000 have been appropriated and ex-
pended. The chief of engineers is very de-
sirfous to see the Anacostia improved and

Casts on Exhibition.
Among the six casts now in the business

and Stevens not the only buildings
which may be embelEshed by the excep-
tionai beauty of the Hermes. Though IN
smaller reproduction. the bust forms a part
of collection No. and No. also, and thus
every class of building is eligible for a
copy. The fact that nine busts of the
Hermes have been ordered is an evidence
of its general popularity.
1t is not that the god Mercury, as he
was called by the Romans. is more popular
than the other great gods of Greece and
Rome, though the messenger of the
gods, he has come to stand In modern minds
as the symbol of the newspaper, the post
office or any electrical means of conveying
information, but purely its art value that
makes the Praxiteles bust so famous.
Mercury was the son of Zeus or Jupiter
and was considered one of the twelve i'm
portant deities. He plays a part in the
great epics of Homer, the Had, and the
Odyssey. and is character in many of the
most interesting Greek myths. In spite of
being god, he had reputation of being a
gossip and is even accused OF being light
fingered His winged cap and winged SAN
dals and the staff or caducens with its
writhing serpents, enabled Mercury to
bridge space and be invisible at his will
AS the possessor OF adj news he became the
symbol of knowledge opposed TO the wis
dom and composing, or creating, power of
Phoebus Apollo.
One of Few Originals.
The statue from which the bust is taken
is believed by experts to be one of the few
actual originals which have come down TO
modern times from the hand of the great
PraXiteles. Phidias and Praxiteles made
possible the best age of Greek sculpture.
The statue which is now in the National
Museum of Athens was found in making
excavations at Olympia. where 1t was the
custom of the athletic Greeks to celebrate
their Olympfads, national games which
occurred every four years. i represents
