Aroused His Fighting Blood.

There was a time during the last
Congress when John Sharp Williams
had it in mind to yield the scepter
with which he had ruled his party,
but the growing sentiment of oppo-
sition to him aroused his fighting
blood and he determined to hold
fast to that which was his. For that
reason, if any Democrat hopes to
wrest the leadership from the Miss
issippian in the next Congress, he
will have to fight for it, and fight
hard.
In the Senate Mr. Williams is
bound to be of Importance. He will
stand as a striking example to the
country that the whole South is not
made up of men of the alleged fire
eating type. 1t is not impossible that
in due time Mr.. Williams will be-
come his party's leader in the SEN
ate, The Democrats in the Senate
are just now leaderless. Gorn'an
was succeeded by Joe Blackburn, of
Kentucky. Blackburn retired with
the last session, and it seems almost
impossible for the minority in that
chamber to agree upo many one man.
For a time it looked as if Bailey, of
Texas, would be the man but since
the late developments in his State
involving Standard Oil affairs, many
Democrats say it would be impossible
for Mr., Bailey to obtain the leader
ship
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, as able
a man as there is on the Democratic
side of the chamber today, perhaps
would like to have Mr.. Blackburns
mantle fall to him. All the available
candidates have been canvassed by
the minrity members, but no one has
been found who appears able to
bring to himself a united party. 1t
may happen, therefore, that the mi
nority, now less than one-third of
the entire vote of the Senate, simply
will drift without any designated
leader until after John Sharp Will
liams has been sworn in.

John Sharp Williams Term
Nearly -Four Years Off
LEADER IN . THE NEXT HOUSE
When He Reaches the Senate He May

Bacon Said to Have Hank

LEADER m. THE NEXT HOUSE

WASHINGTON, d. c., August g.
The friends and admirers of John
Sharp Williams, who won out in his
fight for the Senatorial toga, with
Gov. Vardaman as his opponent, be-
lieyes his success will remove the
last yestige of opposition to him as
the minority leader in the Sixtieth
Congress. Mr. Williams has been
elected to the House of Representa-
tiyes for the Sixtieth Congress, and
the term of Senator Money, whom he
will succeed in the Senate, does not
expire until 1911.
During the last session of the Fiji
ty-ninth Congress there were fire.
quent mutterings of opposition to
the leadership of Mr.. Williams, which
was not sufficiently radical and dras-
tic to suit some of the Democratic
membership.
Champ Clark was the first Demo-
crat of prominence to be selected by
the disconnected members of the
minority as a rival to Williams. Clark
is a good parlimentarian mad an ex-
cellent mixer. Everybody likes him;
he can make a good speech, and the
entire House listens when he takes
the floor. Champ Clark is thorough
ly capable of discussing the serious
problems that confront the Congress,
and his wit and humor, sprinkled
here and there throughout his re-
marks, is bound to retain his audience
no matter how the Members may
disagree with his argument. He
would make good leader, but he
lacks the invective, the sarcasm, MAX
ing John S. Williams speeches fam
Gus. The boom for Champ Clark did
not grow, for the reason that Clark
himself would not permit it is long
as Williams cared for the Hardship

Turned to De Almond.

When Champ Clark turned down
the crown offered him by the anti
Williams faction they turned to David
A. De Almond, of Missouri, who has
served since the Fifty-second Con-
gress. Mr.. De Almond accepted the
offer of their support, and is in the
race for the minority leadership in
the next Congress. Mr. De Almond
is, perhaps, one of the most profound
thinkers in Congress, but those who
admit his ability claim that he pos
sesses little of that personal magne-
tism that should be a prominent quail
fication of party leader, However,
this may be, if there is to be a fight
for the honor in the coming Congress
the OPPOSITION probably will center
about Mr.. De Almond.
James Hay, of the Seventh Virgin
ia district, who first came to Con-
gress in the Fifty-fifth, also has lead
ership aspirations. Mr.. Hay is quite
popular among his Democratic as
sociates, and has many of the ele-
ments that go to make up a success
full leader. His popularity caused
him to be chosen chairman of the
party caucus during the Fifty-sixth.
Fifty-seventh, and Fifty-eighth Con-
crosses. There are other would-be
minority leaders, but their support
would be more or less Indifferent.

MAN CHOKED TO DEATH
BY HIS DINNER JOKE.
Happened to Visit Friends Just in. Time
for Meal, and the Beefsteak
Proved His Undoing.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia joking remark
about knowing the best time to visit
his friends cost the life of Thomas
Ramsay last night. A piece of beef
steak which he was eating caught in his
windpipe as he laughed at the reply of
his hostess and he quickly died.
Ramsay was an expert machinlst.
He went to call on MIR. and Mrs. John
Richards, old friends, just as the family
was sitting down to the evening meal,
"Well, I'm just in time for a meal"
shouted Ramsay as he entered the door
way.
Mrs. Richards told him to sit down
at the table and he had just taken the
first morsel of meat when he remarked:
Tell me 1 don't Know the best time
to visit my friends, eh?'
you certainly do" replied Mrs. Rich
ards. Il believe you were born under
a lucky star. You are always in time
to eat with us"
This caused Mr.. Ramsay to laugh,
and the laugh ended in a choking fit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richards went to his
assistance, pounded him on the back
and sought in other ways to aid him.
Then physicians were called, but Ram
say died. He was 90 years old.

GIRL DID NOT WANT
HIM FOR HER HUSBAND.
So She and Her Sister Got His Money,
He Claims, to Pay Their Passage
Back to Germany.

HOBOKEN, Sept. 1S.-on a charge Of
grand larceny preferred by an admirer of
one of them, two good-looking and we'll
dressed German girls were arraigned yes
terday before Recorder Stanton, in Hobo
ken. The complainant was August Boos,
of 459 West One Hundred and Twenty
third street. New York. The girls were
arrested at 314 River street, opposite the
North German Lloyd pier. They were to
have sailed yesterday on the Bremen.
Boos, according to his story in court,
knew the girls in the old county, and for
a long time correspondent with one of them.
Boos recently got the parents to consent
to their daughters coming to this country,
and the girls arrived here about six weeks
ago. Boos had written that he wanted to
marry his correspondent. Mary Verhoeven,
and he agreed to pay her passage home II
she should decide not to marry him after
arriving here.
Boos said he gave the key to his box in
the vault of the West Side Bank to the
girls, so that in case anything happened
to him they would be able to get money
with which to return home. He alleged
that the girls visited the vault and took
two $100 bills from the box and were pre-
pairing to sail for the old country with the
money.

James MeKenna, % years old. a por-

dering his Adeline at their home, 1924
Fourteenth avenue, at $3.50 this morn
ing by the timely arrival of Policemen
Hanley and Holzwarth, of the Fourth
Precinct station, who were attracted
to the place by the cries of the victim.
When the policemen were passing near
the house they heard cries of "Police!'
and "Murder!" and both rushed into
the house and found McKenna brutally
assaulting his wife. who was bruised
and bloody.
Hanley grabbed MeKenna, while
Holzwarth rushed 10 the nearest patrol
box and sent in a call for the am
bulance. When it arrived Mrs. Nc
Kenna was carried out on the streteher
into the vehicle and hurried TO the
City Hospital. At the same time her
husband was in the wagon also, but he
was under arrest. He was taken to
the Fourth Precinct station after Mrs.
McKenna was left at the hospital and
locked up, where he is held pending
the result of his wife's injuries.
At the hospital at noon 1t was stated
that the attending physician believes
the woman has a fractured skull.
Besides beating his wife McKenna
smashed a number of dishes and de-
stroyed a quantity of furniture. He
was under the influence of liquor at
the time, and at first attempted to re-
sist arrest. When slated by Sergeant
Brown, McKenna was inclined to with
hold his name and address, but finally
gave 1t.

NEGRO TROOPS TO RETURN.
Twenty-fourth Infantry to Be Stationed
at Oswego. N. Y.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-By an or
der issued by the War Department to-
day. the Twenty-fourth Infantry, now
on duty in the Philippines, is TO be
brought home and stationed at Fort
ontario. Oswego. n. Y, and Madison
Barracks, near WATERFOWL, n. Y. The
Twenty-fourth Infantry is one of the
-four negro regiments in the army, and
in view Of the general objections to
negro troops at almost every post the
problem Of assigning those now about
to return home has been a serious one
with the department.
The department desires to avoid the
possibility of-a repetition of the
Brownsville affair, in which a part of
the Twenty-hfth Infantry, a negro regi-
ment. is alleged to have been impli-
Gated, and IL will probably he a long
time before any of the negro regiments
are stationed in the South. Aside from
this consideration, however, and the
one which department officials declare
largely governed In the decision to
send the negro troops to New York
posts. is the fact that these troops have
been in tropical service for two years
and are now entitled, under the policy
of the department, to service in a cooler
climate.
