CHAIRMAN POWER
To Block Legislation In The
Senate

Washington, d. c. March S.-The
! influence of a chairman Of a commit
| tee in controlling the legislation that
| is enacted by the senate was illus
| Jrated during the last week of The ses-
sion that has just closed. \ member
of the committee on claims called up
a bill reimbursing a citizen for a loss
he had suffered by reason of circum-
| stances chargeable against the govern
{ ment. The claim had received the
unanimous approval Of every member
Of the comittee and had been favor
ably reported by the house committee
and had passed the house. When the
matter was laid before the senate, Mr..
Fulton, chairman OF the claims COM
mittee objected TO its consideration
and in response to this request OF a
single senator the bill was not passed,
although every man on the floor knew
the case was a meritortious one and
that the beneficiary should have the
money.
The reason for the compliance with
this request is not difficult TO find
Every republican senator is the chair
man of some committee and among
the minority members there are Il
number of desirable chairmanships
No senator knows when he mag have
to make similar request and the pow
er of chairman, no matter how in
significant his committee may be,
must be respected. Thus it happens
that a chairman Of a committee is able
to block legislation referred to his
committee if he is opposed to it when
every other man on the commit e
favors it's speedy enactment into law.
This is one form of what is known
as ser atOriaI courtesy" from which
the senate is suffering more acutely
each session of congress. Some day
there will be a revolution and the
majority will be able to do whatever
a majority really want to do.
Congress paid an honor to Capt Nc
Gala, who led the American forces
in the relief Of Pekin. 1t has been the
persistent policy of congress, eSpeci-
ally the senate, to deny the applica-
tiOnS of American officials for permis-
sion to accept honors, medals and deco
rations from foreign governments and
rulers. This is done on the theory
that it is un-Amedican, as this gov
ernment recognizes nothing in the
shape of a decoration as adding To
the worth of the citizen.
Recently, however, Capt. McCalla
was offered the Order of the Double
Eagle by the German Emperor, which
is one of the most highly priced OF
the gifts the Kaiser can bestow. 1t
has been granted TO but few Amerl-
cans and is regarded by soldiers every
where as an evidence Of great valOT.
Capt. McCalla is now ON the retired
list and lies dangerously i'll at San
Diego, California. Some Of the mem
bers Of his family recently wrote to
Senator Cullom telling him how III
the old naval officer was and how he
had expressed the wish that he might
have this decoration before he died.
Congress, in view of all the circum-
stances, granted his with.

New York, March 9.-Harry X. 1hGw

through his counsel. Daniel OReilly.
Il wish to deny as emphatically as
possible the published report that iay
sister, the Countess of Yarmouth. is de-
sirous of bringing about separation
between my wife and me at the con
clusion Of the trial Perfect harmony
exists between my wife, my sister and
myself. Such thing as a separation
has never been and never will be con
sidered by me or any of my relatives.
The Countess of Yarmouth Is very
friendly with Mrs. II. X. Thaw AMI
holds her in the highest esteem.
"As for myself, my love for my wife
is greater than it ever was before. If
that is possible. l hope that this denial
from me will forever set at rest the
absurd story Of a possible cstranse
ment.
cit is peculiarly regrettable TO Mrs.
Thaw and myself that such story
should have emanated from the source
it did"
With the real work Of the prosecu-
ton still ahead OF him, District Al.
tOrney Jerome spent many busy hours
today preparing for the states caae in
rebuttal which will begin Monday
morning with the resumption OF the
trial of Harry Thaw before Justice
Fitzgerald.
1t is reported today that Mr.. Jerome
had irrevocably decided to push the
case to a conclusion and not to
turn it over TO a commission. All
the members Of the attorneys stan
are sanguine that the chief will be
able to throw sufficient doubt epon
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's story TO at least
discredit her in the eyes Of the jury
and they further declare that Mr. Je-
rome hopes to have preponderance
of expert testimony showing that Thav
acted as a sane man when he shot and
killed Stanford White and has contin-
ued to act as a sane person ever thst
time.
The staff of county detectives attach
ed to Mr.. Jerome's Office have been
sent out for every person mentioned by
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw in her testimony.
and efforts will be made to round them
all up, high and low, TO secure every
bit of outstanding evidence. that may
bear in any measure upon the reSut-
tai Of Thaws wife's story.

Judge j. N Barnes and two personal

About $50 of his original followers re-

services Dowie always wore his
apostolic robes and made character
istiC addresses. Five weeks ago these
meetings ceased, and DOwie appeared
NO longer in public. The Sunday
meetings, however. was still held by
his adherents.
Since that TIME Dowie had gradual
ay been failing. Friday afternoon,
however, there was no indications of
approaching death.
Wilbur G. VOiva, the head Of the
faction opposing DOwie in Zion City,
today declined to make any statement
regarding the influgnCe Of the death
of DOwie on the future Of the church,
or to discuss his death in any manner.
John Alexander DOWie was born in
Edinburg, Scotland, May Is, 1847. In
1850 his parents removed to Adelaide,
Australia, where for seven years
the youth was clerk in business
house. Here DOWie developed the
commercial instinct that served him
80 well later in life. He saved enough
money during this period to return to
Edinburgh at the age of 20 to take
a five years course in theology and the
arts. He became master Of CIR, elk and
Hebrew, and cultivated a litera y
taste that resulted in after years in a
library Of 10000 volumes, with which
he was thoroughly familiar.
Bowie landed in San Francisco in
1888. Two years Of wandering along
California coast followed, and then
iu 1890 Doctor" his wife, his son,
Alexander John Gladstone DoWie and
his daughter Esther arrived in Ch.ca-

his future activities.
