BURROWS IS
A SPEAKER
MAN CHOSEN FOR TEMPORARY
CHAIRMAN OF CONVENTION
HAS SOLID REPUTATION.
Julius Caesar Burrows Of Michigan to
Be Made Head Of Convention Un-
til Real Business eesins-sur-
prise at Washington Over His
seIectIon-A Little Peppery.

Julius Caesar Burrows, who will
swing the gavel as Temporary chair
man of the republican national con-
vention on Tuesday next, has been for
many years prominently before the
public of the United States, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. He is II
years old and has been in politics
since the year 1864, when he was
elected prosecuting attorney of Kala'
mazoo county, Mich. His career as
a congressman began in 1873, and he
has been senator from Michigan since
1895.
oratory Not Liked.
On the presumption that the saying
nothing succeeds like success holds
good in politics, there must be much
satisfaction to Mr.. Burrows in looking
back over his long record. He has
been uniformly successful in whatever
he has undertaken to do. The jeers of
fellow congressman who have little
liking for his eagle-screaming, tail
twisting type of oratory have not made
him unpopular in Michigan, where his
votes come from. Even %recelations of
the original sources Of some of his i'm
passioned oratory have not disturbed
his equanimity or weakened his hold
on the Wolverine state. He stands
forth proudly as the champion OF the
Americanism that delights in " ora
tons on every and any occasion.
Surprise at Washington
The news that Senator Burrows had
been selected by the national republi-
"a committee to be temporary chair
man at the Chicago convention sur
prised Washington and is said to have
caused some vigorous comments at the
White house. Though there is no open
warfare there is little sympathy be-
tween President Roosevelt and Sena-
tor Burrows. 1t is generally expected
that the senator will make the speech
of his life as temporary chairman and
the knowing ones say he may be re-
warded by a few votes for. the vice
presidential nomination.

The MISER'S Mill

The Poet Laureate is at work
again:
There once was miser quite Dutch
Whose longing for money was such
That he slept on the grass
To save his mattress
And starved his poor children too
much.
Hans and Gretel were children In
Holland,
Who wished for goose, doll, and
Some other things too.
Well. their wishes came true.
And now they are happy In Holland.
Said the Fairies: III 'twere not for
we,
These babies would still hungry be;
But we'll pull from the hopper
Food and clothes till they stop 'er,
And all will be joyful-you'll see."
Thin Fairies is certainly gr-rate;
Their dancing Is surely complate;
It's n small bit Of brass
To hear singing frst-class,-
Get tickets before it's too late.
There was young miss who said
"Bill.
Please take me to see Miser's Mill

Oh, do. Bill--say that you will"

NO HUGHES RESOLUTION
RROOKLYNITES DODGE 1T.
General Committee Meeting Con-
spicuous by It's absence.
WORRYING IN THE RUINS.

r-or+rar,- IN General expectation, a resolution
Endorsing Governor Hughes for the Presidency
was not introduced at last nights meeting OF
the Kings County General Committee, held in
the Johnson Building, Nevins street, near Fiat
bush avenue Brooklyn A few days ago it was
reported that Hughes resolution containing
no mention of President Roosevelt's admins
tration would be introduced, with the hope that
it would not be adopted, and thus injure the
Governors chances. But no one came forward
with such a resolution last night
State Chairman Woodruff sid he was willing
to have Hughes resolution introduced, as 1t
would serve to show the sentiment of the meet
ing He did not say whether or not he would
oppose it. Senator Eugene NJ. Travis, one Of
the chief leaders of the Hughes League of
BROOKLYN, came down from Albany especially
TO attend the meeting.
Vfce-Chairman Louis L. Pounds presided last
night in place of Chairman Charles H. Kelley,
who is suffering from q broken leg The first
order of business was an expression of regret
for Mr. Kelbeys injury. Everything else was
dispensed with until new business"
reached. Then there was stir of expectation
Every one looked at every one else. but nobody
stirred from his seat. Finally Mr., Woodruff
arose and put forward resolutions indorsing bills
which have been introduced in the Senate by
Senator Travis and in the Assembly by Warren
1 Lee. The coupling of these names appeared
startling TO the committeeman.
The bills propose to exempt bonds issued for
the construction of subways from the provision
of law which restricts the debt limit of munich
palities 10 10 per cent of their assessed valua-
tion and TO increase the length of time that
leases of subways can be made to fifty years.
When the harmless meaning of the resolutions
dawned upon the committee there was general
litter They We're passed without murrnur of
opposition
is there any other new business asked Mr..
Pounds.
There was an omnous calm. but there was no
new business"
IF there isn't" he continued, "a motion to ad-
journ will be in order"
Move adjourn" called some one, dozen
persons seconded the motion and the committee
jumped TO its feet.
Il didn't think that there would be any reso-
luton" and The Hughes people didn't dare do
it" were samples of the remarks heard on all
sides.

IOHIO SENATORS WIN.
Foraker and Dick Obtain the Defeat
of -Four Nominations.
from The Tribune Bureau-i

Washington, Jan. 14.-Ohio politics played an
important part in to-day's executive session OF
the Senate when the nominations of four Ohio
postmasters were rejected at the behest of Sen
ators Foraker and Dick The nomina tions re-
iected are those of Emil H Moses, of Wapa-
koneta; David c. Mahon, of Denfson; John r
WetheriIl. of Spencerve. and George ". White,
of Uhrichsville.
The nominations were reported unfavorably

and when inquiry was put by Senators friendly
20 the administration it was explained that
there was a courtesy rule in the committee
which provides that an unfavorable report shall
be made in cases where both Senators from the
state concerned are opposed to a nomination
1t was asserted by the friends of the admins
tration that these appointments had received
the Endorsement of the respective members Of
the House but the reply that as all of the
members of the Ohio delegation in the House
were opposed To Senators Foraker and Dick. the
Endorsements of Ohio Representatives could not

Iutely secret declared he had observed that
great hue and cry was being raised by the op-
moments of Mr. Taft. over the baseless charge
that the federal patronage was being used to
his political nlefeSIS Dut NLile He
had observed that such charges were always in
the form of glittering generalities and never
substantiated by single instance. it was with
extreme difficulty, in view of the adverse report
of the Postoffice Committee and the proposed
rejection of these nominations by the Senate,
that he refrained from "harboring just tiny
suspicion that these purists who We're clamorins

considerable merriment.
In commenting upon the rejection OF the NOM

There will be further prostitution of fed

bargains without its being resented. There will

If is found that the appointments were made IN
