South Carolinian to Tackle Issue of
Certificates.
May Also Have Something TO Say of
Gotham Finmnciering and
John X. Walsh.

Senator Ben Tinman is going to stir up
the animals again tomorrow. The South
Carolina Senator has been looking up the
financial situation, and viii make some
comments In the Senate on the issuance

agement OF national banks.

stitutions may be subject to the 10 per
cent tax imposed by Federal statutes upon
currency issues by State banks. The

are not exceeding the rights conferred
by their charters when they issue cur
rency through the clearinghouse associa-
tions.

camille National Bank of New York and

ventilation Of street cars VIII probably

in the near future. by DR.. W. c. Wood
ward. health officer Of the District.
In speaking Of the necessity Of this
ventilation he called attention 10 a
communication received from the
health officer OF Detroit. who reported
that an ordnance was passed IN that
city last spring, under which IL IS IN

tically imperceptible process. incapable
OF injuring or endangering the health

FLOOD MAY BE CHAIRMAN.
Friends Say He Can Head Democratic
Congressional Committee.

The friends OF Representative Flood
of Virginia, dispute the claim being pub
lished broadcast 20 the. effect that Repre-
sentative Lloyd is the overwhelming
choice Of the Democratic Congressional
Committee.
They point out the fact that there will
be but thirty-eight members OF the COM
mittee who can participate in the seIec-
ton, the members from those States
which have no Democratic representation
in the House being chosen by the COM
mittee after the chairman is elected. OF
the thirty-eight members who will vote it
is hardly expected that Mr.. Lloyd Mr.
Bowers. or Mr.. Flood will cast a vote;
hence this leaves thirty-fve as the high
est possible vote. Nine Of these are SEN
ate members, who have yet 70 be chosen,
cod no one knows who they will be. A
canvass by the friends of Mr. Flood, il
is said, reveals the fact that there are
at least eighteen House members of the
committee who are either not committed
10 Mr.. Lloyd or have not been selected
by their delegations. so that there are
twenty-seven who are not committed 10
Lloyd.
Mr.. Flood Is taking no part in the fight
10 have himself chosen. Mr.. Flood is not
a new hand at the game Of politics. II
was he who organized the campaign for
Senator Martin for reelection to the
Senate from Virginia when his opponent
was Gov. Montague. That primary fight
was one of the finest political struggles
OF recent years, and the large majority
by which Senator Martin defeated Gov
Montague. in which he carried every Con-
gressional district is attributed by Sena-
tor Martin himself TO have been due in no
small degree to Mr.. Floods work.

SCHOOL MATTER RESTS.
NO Action Taken by the senate Dis
trict Committee

Arict committee.
No action was taken yesterday bv the
Senate District Committee on the Burkett
resolution. concerning the schools. Not
even a single visitor called.
There still seems to be q sentiment =,
the House that there will be introduced
a resolution calling on the school board
to withhold final action until Congress
has had an opportunity to investigate
Some members of the Old House cor,-
mittee are inclined to the belief that no
attempt will be made to get the matter
UP until after II has been seen what ar
ton will be taken by the Senate As
the session tomorrow is expected 10 he
short 1t seems improbable that anvtbing
can be done until after the HOLIDAYS
There is much speculation as to the
personnel of the new Senate committee
While it has been generally understood
that Senator Piles, Of Washington. was
slated for place. there is stnI some
uncertainty. Other names mentioned in
cluue those or Senator's Richardson and
Briggs. The general impression seems 10
be that Mr.. Piles will be chosen. If he
has not been already.
On the minority side. there has been
tax OF Senators Bankheae. Taylor. OF
tennessee. and Johnson As II stands
now, there is one Republican vacancy
ana three Democratic. There Is also some
tax Of Senator Newlands going on the
committee.
IN Inc House the general impression
seems to be that .the committee assign
ments will not be made until Thursday.
although it Is possible some of them NAV
be given out at to-morrow's session.
John Sharp Williams, the minority
leader still insists that because OF the
larger representation Of Democrats in
this House, they should be given more
places On the large committees.

The members of the subcommittee OF
the House Committee on Banking and
Finance met yesterday morning and put
in about three hours discussing the pos
sibility of getting a suitable bill framed
up for presentation 10 Congress. but the
session was adjourned until after the
holidays. and nothing material was ac-
complished.
The members Of the minority side of
the committee We're entertained last night
at dinner by John Sharp Williams, the
minority leader Of the House. and it is
understood that these members carefully
eanyassed the question, but did not ar
rive at any conclusion.
At the meeting yesterday morning,
which was attended by Chairman Fowler.
and the other members, Representatives
Prince. Calderhead Gillespie, and Lewis.
the general sentiment seemed 10 be that
there should be both temporary and
permanent legislation at this session. but
no plan was evolved. so far as could be
learned.
May Come from senate.
When Representative Burton was put
or the committee. it was supposed to be
with the understanding that he would be
a member OF this subcommittee. because
OF the fact that Chairman Fowler's views
did not exactly coincide with those OF
Speaker Cannon and the administration.
Mr.. Burton was expected 10 act as
brake on the action Of the committee. but
since he was left out. wen informed
members on the Republican side are Of
the opinion that what financial legislation
comes Up this session viii originate IN
the Senate.
Furthermore, IL Is common talk that
word has gone out that everything must
be out of the road in the matter OF legis-
lation by the middle of, or. at the most.
the end OF April. and il would seem 10 be
a safe guess that there viii be as little
legislation as possible.
Many Tariff Measures.
Tariff measures galore have been put
into the mill, almost all. Of course. by the
minority. but none OF them seem 10 feel
there is much chance of getting them
considered.
Because Of the Presidents recommends
ton on the matter. there is much senu-
ment in favor of the removal Of the duty
on wood pulp and white paper. and every
member In the House has had more or
less pressure brought TO bear 20 favor
such action, but members Of the Ways
and Means Committee. Mr.. Payne and
Mr.. DalzeH. do not seem to think there
will Oe any such measure reported out
Of their committee this session.
Minority members VIII seek 20 make an
issue Of II for campaign purposes. but
from present indications tho majority will
continue to stand pat" and open no
loop-hole for an attack on the entire
tariff schedule

MISS SUE
POLK TEMPLE
BELOVED BY MANY HERE, DIED
SUNDAY AT HER HOME AT
PADUcAH, Ky.

Many Columbia friends were deeply
grieved Monday when 1t became known
that Miss Sue Polk Temple had passed
away Miss Temple was at Paducah,
KY, and was preparing to take trip
to Europe with Miss Tommie Graham.
The news of her death came in a tele-
gram to Rev. Walter B. Capers, re-
questing him to come to Paducah
and conduct the funeral services there
Monday afternoon. The early morning
train north was unfortunately four or
Ave hours late, however, and all
connection with Paducah was I'M
possible, so Mr.. Capers could not
go, though he would gladly have done
so
Miss Temple was a daughter OF the
late Dr. Temple, d. D., of Paducah,
who was at one time associated with
the Rev. Geo. Beckett, at the Institute.
She was born at the Institute and
spent her childhood there, living there,
even after her father returned to Ken
lucky, with her uncle, DR.. Beckett, so
long at the head of the school. She
was woman possessing rare gifts.
With deep and abiding faith In her
Master, she was broad and generous
in her sympathies, and drew around
her a host OF devoted friends, all OF
whom win lament her untimely death.
Yet, of her it can be said, Blessed
are the dead who die in the Lord, for
they rest from their labors, and their
works do follow them" For while
she carries the immortality OF her
personality into the great beyond, she
leaves the Immortality Of her sweet
influence with all who knew and lHyel
her here. Miss Temple was member
of the faculty of the Columbia Insti-
tute having the Travel Glass, and her
delightful lectures which were drawn
from personal experiences, and illus
trated from herr own camera. were
among the most attractive features Of
the course of study at the school last
year.

The loss of Mr.. James Gillian In the
fire at his home Friday afternoon was
almost total, both as to the house
and furniture. The fire started In the
kitchen and had gained considerable
Roadway before 1t was discovered.
The statement that Mr.. Gillian had
just moved into the house was err
roneous, as he had been living in It
four or Ave months. His insurance
on the building was $1,000 and on the
furniture $3.50.
Mr.. Gillian also owned the house
next door occupied by Mr.. Dillehay.
which was damaged to the extent OF
