SAYS HOWELL MAY
QUIT HIS PLACE
Weird Story That Utah Man May
Not ask Another Term
in the House.
HE HOPES TO BE SENATOR
WOULD SNATCH ToeA FROM
sMooT, WHO CREATED HIM.

A wild, weird and romantic tale that
CONGRESSMAN Joseph Howell viii not
be a candidate for reelection is float
ing around in circles political. Usually
the man who hears it INDUCES in an in
creduIous laugh, but a few friends Of
Utah's lone representative say it is a
solemn fact, and declare that Zion is
about TO be treated to the unusual
spectacle OF a Republican relinquishing
an Office voluntarily and without being
pried loose.
The story goes that Mr.. Howell is
consumed by a vaulting ambition to
be United States senator; that he will
shy his castor into the senatorial ring
IN the event Senator Reed SmOOtS is
cast into outer darkness by the present
senate, and that, in any event, he will
be a candidate when Senator Smoot's
term expires by limitation in 1909.
Should he be forced to await until
1909 TO crafty his senatorial ambition,
it is said, Congressman Howell will
retire from public life at the end Of his
present term, confident that the people
of Utah VIII not forget him during the
two years interim. and that he viii be
stronger than ever when he hobs up as
q senatorial asDirant
Say He Promised TO Cult
At the last state convention. it Is
asserted, Mr.. Howell declared that he
would never-no. never-be a candidate
for The lower house again This dec
laration was made, ii is declared, when
some politicians. exasperated over his
delivery of Cache county to Governor
Cutler, talked of springing a candidate
against him then and there.
In that critical period, il is charged.
Mr.. Howell. in beseeching the support
of divers cold and Indifferent brethren,
declared that all he wanted was g. win
dication," and that he would be content
at the next state convention to step
aside and let somebody else have his
seat. That promise. incredible as II
may seem, Il is asserted he intends to
keep in letter, but with a view to
snatching the toga now worn by Reed
SnoOt, his political creator.
Plenty of Candidates
County Attorney Farley ?. Christen-
sen is practically certain to be can
;didate for Mr.. Howell's place. and
James T. Hammond is likely to be
sprung by the followers of Ex-Governor
Heber NJ. Wells. There is some talk,
however. that Governor Wells may
seek the nomination himself.

Washington. Feb. 2S.-President

for the recent action of the German

London.-Despite the reforming zeal
of the new house of it has
been decided that its "grille"-the
symbol of women's political inferiori-
ty-is to be retained. The grille is
the name given to the brass grating
which screens the occupants Of the
ladies gallery from the view Of the
members. Henry Norman, an English
M. p. who was educated at Harvard
and has quite American notions of
how women should be treated, asked
the prime minister whether 1T might
not safely" be removed. Sir Henry
Campbell, Bannerman, who has a gift
of pawky humor, played awhile with
the question. Did it mean safety
for or safety from" the ladies'. he
asked. But finally he specifically re-
fused Mr.. Norman's request to submit
the question to the house OF the
ground that the many new members
had not yet had an opportunity Of
studying the weighty matter prac-
tically.
There is no denying that in the
matter of granting facilities for hear
ing it's discussions parliament treats
women scurviiy. At the furthermost
side of the chamber, high up, beyond
what may be called the pit and the
stalls of the members, back OF the
speakers throne and the busy report
ers, is a curious looking affair which
resembles a set Of stained glass win
dows. Then. again, it might be a bird
cage, and 1t looks much like one. Real
ly, 1t is where the honorable and gal
liant members keep their wives, sweet
hearts and feminine friends who
come to hear them speak. 1t is the

comfortable one at that. While all
