From the age OF three months until
fifteen years old. my sen Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema IN its
worst form. In spite Of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part Of his body was quite raw.
He used 10 tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agoRy he went
through Is quite beyond words. The
rcgimeutal doctor pronounced the case
hopeless. We had him in hospitals
four times and be was pronounced one
of the worst cases ever admitted
From each he was discharged as in-
durable. We kept trying remedy

their original plan to have this crew made
up of the star oarsmen from the Leading
clubs Of the country. They have come to
the conclusion that the selection OF
crew on this basis Is impracticable. The
scheme they now favor is one to permit
each city which fosters rowing to develop
an eight of its own and then to have these
various crews complete In a preliminary
regatta against the winners of the Pough-
keepsie and New London regattas, the vic
torious crew to represent the United
States in the Olympics
The difficulty the committee encounter
ed in its original plan was that the best
oarsmen of the different cities. while de-
sirous of representing this country. could
not be induced to give up their business
affairs in order TO go to some central
place for training purposes
1t was the unanimous opinion of rowing
experts in the east that a much better
method to get out the strongest available
crew would be to let each city develop Its
own eight and to have the best of the lot
represent this country. This scheme was
acceptable to the committee, and when the
final plans are announced this will un-
doubtedly be the method followed.
Ii is open to doubt whether any of the
college Fights could successfully compete
in the preliminary regatta, for the reason
that the intercollegiate races are over a
course of. four miles. while the Henley
course. where the Olympic regatta will be
contested, is only a mile and five-six-
teenths.

TO the Senate document room for copy
OF Fl. r. 2041O and report No. SOL of the

you will find the numbers in the bill and
the report agree.
THE report states: Section % author

with section 20 of the bill.
Then the report states: Section p au-

responding exactly with section u of the
bill.
1T evidently did not occur to you that
the numbers Of the sections might have
been changed in conference. though II
you had examined the report more care
fully. you would have discovered that the
reference to certain real estate in the
city of Washington was contained in the

from your statement that the Bieber land
