not work and the sub-contractor was
compelled to send for steam shovel
which was successfully used.

Minnesota Will Be Repre-
scented Oh Ways and Means.
TAWNEY'S BRILLIANT CAREER
He is Very Likely to Become
a Leader From The
Start.

A special to the Minneapolis Tribune
today speaks of the brilliant career of
James \. Tawney of WinOna as follows:
Washington Nov. S-Although year
will elapse before the siXtieth congress
convenes there is much talk about it's or
ganization and what it will do.
The impression is general that there
will be a revision of the tariff along
conservative lines, and that the bust
perfectly prepared for the change when
il comes.
The ways and means committee of the
house will have TO be practically reor-
gained and new men appointed in the
place of Gen. Grosvenor of Ohio, Bah
cock of Wisconsin and McCleary of Min
nesota, all now members of the pres
emf congress, but who will not be in
the siXtieth session.
Nick Longworth, it is said today, will
ask to 90 upon the ways and means as
Ohio's member of that committee.
1t is known that Mr.. Longworth is
very ambitious politically. Moreover, it
is the talk around political headquarters
that the president would be pleased to
see Mr.. Longworth promoted.
When Speaker Cannon named him as
a member of the pension committee
Longworth was not the White House
son-in-law.
Should Wisconsin fail to land sue
cessor to Babcock on the ways and
means committee James A. Tawney may
find it to his interest to 60 back to the
ways and means committee and take the
place occupied by General Gosvenor.
Stranger things have happened in con-
gress than that of member giving up
the Craftsmanship of the appropriations
committee and going to the ways and
means.
The latter committee from now on is
destined to become conspicuous and en-
erge from the lethargy which has mark
ed its career for several sessions.
Jim Tawney has had all the honors
there are, being chairman of appropria-
tions. 1t is difficult position and
means constant hard work.
He has never been in love with the
job. With his experience of ten years
service on the ways and means and two
years on the appropriations committee
Tawney would become leader from the
start on ways and means.
He is well posted on tariff schedules,
and at one time he considered the pro-
priety of introducing a tariff bill with
the hope that it would 90 onto the
books and be known as "the Tawney
tariff"
Frank NJ. Nye, it is understood, will
have very strong backing for a place on
the judiciary committee.
There are four Republican vacancies
and Mr.. Nye's brilliant reputation as a
lawyer ought to land him.
Fred C. Stevens of st. Paul is slated
to 90 back to the military affairs COM
mittee, the opportunity having come
through Mr.. Fletcher leaving congress.
c. A. Lindberg will naturally enough
seek the Indian affairs berth which his
predecessor, c. B. Buchanan, has held
for four years.
Winfield Scott Hammond, who defeat
ed McCleary, is destined to become
conspicuous figure in the house. His
friends assert that while he will OF
course affiliate with the democratic min
GRITTY, he will be found advocating and
supporting the policies of President
Roosevelt on many occasions.

A. o. Eberhart states that the figures
show that he is safely elected. He ex-
plains why he did not receive as many
votes as the balance of the state ticket

Second, he was the most active candi-
date on the state ticket in canvassing
the state for Cole. Third, he made no

INSANITY WILL NOT
BEPLEA
THAw'S LAWYERS STATE THAT DE-
PENDANT WILL GO TO TRIAL FOR
KILLING WHITE - THERE WILL
BE NO INSANITY PROCEEDINGS

NEW YORK. July 25.-Some of Harry
Thaw's lawyers made il knows yesterday
that he would positively 90 to trial for
killing Stanford White, and that there
would be no proceedings in the criminal
courts looking to an examination into
hisc mental condition. Furthermore. it
was said that the trial would begin on
October 10.
The prosecution has assured Thaw's
lawyers that the District Attorney will
certainly not apply for a commission to
examine Thaw and that should an in
formal request be made by representa-
tiyes of his mother for such action it
viii not be aeceded to. That's present
present lawyers were hired to stave off
insanity proceedings and to get trial
for their client.
From the fact that the firm retained
by Thaw's mother is still working on
the case and is gathering evidence to
show that Thaw is insane there has been
lot of speculation as to what move is
to be made by them. With the an
nouncement yesterday that they would
have no standing in criminal proceedings
as counsel for Mrs. William Thaw, there
came a repot that application would be
made shortly to the civil courts for the
appointment of lunacy commission. 1t
is even said that within a very short
time application would be made to the
supreme court by the prisoners mother
as the nearest Of kin.
While Mrs. William Thaw would not
be recognized in any criminal proceedings
she would be recognized in civil pro-
ceedines of this kind and on such an
application, backed up by afiidavits OF
experts declaring Thaw insane, su-
preme court Judge might order Thaw'4
trial before such commission.
According to lawyers who have looked
into the matter, the situation will be an
entirely novel one, no such application
ever having been made before in the
supreme court, in the case Of a person
who was facing trial on criminal
charge.
