CANNON MAKES
NO PROMISES
WITH SIXTIETH SESSION AL
MOST IN SIGHT UNCLE JOE
LISTENS TO OPPORTUNITIES
BUT SAYS NOTHING.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Speak-
er Cannon is dividing his time these
days between his dentist and the
members of the house who are seek
ing committee assignments. The
afternoons are given to the members
but while he listens carefully to all
of them he has not so far made any
promises. The speaker is hopeful OF
completing his assignments before
the Christmas holidays.
The fifty-ninth congress had been
in session only seven days when the
time being the briefest ever taken
by speaker in filling the commit
tees, except in the forty-third con-
gress when only four days were re-
quired. In the fifty-eighth congress
twenty-six days were required, but
that congress convened early In No.
vember, leaving the speaker less
time for preparation in advance than
he had in 1905 and will have this
year.
Speaker Henderson took only eight
days to form the committees for the
f1fty-seventh congress. The longest
time taken in recent years to this
was 191 days which Speaker Reed
allowed to elapse before naming the
committees for the fifty-fifth con-
gress, the delay being due to the
tariff fight of 1897. That congress
met on March Is and the committees
were not organized until the latter
part of the summer.
In the forty-second congress
Speaker Blaine consumed nine
months time after the congress con-
vened' in selecting his committeeman
and there was almost as much de-
lay In the fortieth, when the fight
against President Johnson was In
progress.

FOR AV1 w BUILDING
FAVoRS SULLIVAN'S
RECOMMENDATION.

In the recOmme ndations Secretary Cor
teIyou will make to Congress next Decem-
Der it is understood. there will be one that
a large appropriation be made for a new
and commodious building for the bureau
Of engraving and printing. The Secretary
will back up the position taken by Director
sullivan of the bureau, that no addition or
wing should be made to the present build
ing and that the bureau should be pro-
yided with "a new building suitable to it's
necessities and nearer to the Treasury than
now. When Director Sullivan appeared be-
fore the House committee on appropria-
lions at the last session and told about
the seriously cramped condition of his
establishment the committee sympathized
with him. Some of the members desired
to give an appropriation that would erect
a wing to the south of the present main
building OF the bureau, but Mr.. Sullivan
urged the committee not to do this and
gave numerous reasons why 1t would be
unwise. Congress finally provided that
plans for new building should be drawn.
These plans are now being arranged and
will be submitted to Congress at it's next
session. when the question of what to do
for the bureau will be settled.
With the backing Of Secretary Cortelyou.

BENSON WILL APPEAL.
But California Land Case Won't At
feet Local Trial.

The conviction of John A. Benson in Cali
fornia on land fraud indictments will not
affect the trial of the cases pending against
Benson in the local criminal court, accord
ing to Harvey Given. assistant United
States attorney. and it is expected that the
HYDE Observation-Disclosures Dimond land fraud
case will be begun early in the winter.
The indictment in California was similar
to the one returned here, it is declared; but
the local authorities took no part in the
California case and regard it as an entirely
different one from the one upon which the
trial here will be held. Benson will appeal
the California case, and the local case will
probably be called before the appeal is de-
cided. Thus there will probably be no con-
flict between the courts of California and
the District of Columbia

knows, but Mr. Sullivan will have some
views that subject to present. In the
event of new building on new site the
present building would pass to some OF the
departments or independent bureaus now
doing business in rented buildings. The

the valuable papers OF the survey would be

WHY WAS HE WORRIED?
His Bank Roll Wss Gone But He
Couldn't Tell.

The Hope Dispatch tells a story
that is a. warning to those who are
afraid to leave their money in the
banks. 1t follows: A certain fellow
who had an account i'm the Elmo bank
was terribly frightened when the
panic came on and demanded bis
money. After much insisting he got
his money in big roll with rubber
around it, and put it in his pocket
A few days after a certain woman
went out one morning to let her
chickens out and there were no chick
ems. She went int the chicken house
to see If there was any clue that
might lead to the discovery OF the
thepf and found a big roll of bills with
a rubber around it. She counted at
and it tailed with the amount the
certain man had drawn from the Elmo
bank. Soon after neighbor with
coops on his wagon came along pay
ing big prices for chickens and want
ed to buy some from this woman who
informed him that she had sold hers
the night before. He insisted on ex-
aiming the chicken house to see If
any chickens were left, and was very
careful to examine the floor closely.
The roll of bills amou@ted to several
hnndred dollars.
