MEN WHO ARE ID PASS OUT
 OF L|MEL|GHT
Incoming Congress Will See Many New Faces and the
 Retirement of Some Notable
 Statesmen.

W NAfflNlE lO4Ns MdfcN Many ta- miliar faces will be missing from the senate and house after next Thurs day, when the life of the sixtieth con gress will expire by Limitation. Sel- dom, except in those years when the complexion of the national adminis- tration has been changed by a politi- cal landslide. have there been so many changes of importance in the person nel of the national lawmaking body as were brought about by the cleo tions of last November. As evidence of the truth of this statement it is only necessary to cite the fact that in the sixty-first congress there will be more than seventy-five new mem bers in the house alone. Colorado's whole delegation. for instance, will be new to the halls of legislation. h. diana will have eight new men in the house, New York seven. Missouri six, Iowa five, and so on through almost the entire roster of the states.
 The changes in the personnel oi the house will be almost as note worthy as they are numerous. Among those whose terms are now drawing to close are some of the foremost leaders in the house. The reelection Of Speaker Cannon and Representa- tiyes Payne of New York and Dalzell of Pennsylvania leaves the republican batteries in the house well manned so far as the tariff Is concerned. But substantially on all other legislative questions the party Is about to lose Its old leaders. The retirement of Colonel Hepburn of Iowa is a hard blow to the republican side. Since the retirement from congress of General Grosvenor of Ohio Mir. Hepburn has been the party wheelhoPse who has been relied upon to lead in the polit ical debate upon the floor. His re tirement also Vacates the chairman ship of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce. MT. Mann of Illinois is likely to succeed to this chairmanship.
 Some of the other house leaders who will be missing when the extra session convenes two weeks hence are Representative OyerstTeet, Wat son and Landis of Indiana, Sherman Of New York, who becomes vice pres ident, and Burton of Ohio, who Is to take ForaEer's place in the senate. The retirement of these veteran mem beTs will afford good opportunity for new men to take the lead on the re publican side.
 On the democratic side of the house the party strength was affected but little by the last election. Such lead CTS as De Armond of Missouri. Living ston Of Georgia and Jones of Virginia will be in their accustomed places when The sixty-first congress is rap ped 10 order. Williams or Mississippi, the former minority leader, will be absent, having voluntarily retired
 from the house until he takes his ] seat in the senate two years hence. The important changes will not be confined to the lower branch. In the senate a number of veterans are about to pass Ouc of the spot light. There places will be taken by dozen new men. The newcomers will be Elihu Root of New York, Charles J. l Hughes, jr.. of Colorado, Joseph l.. ] Bristow of Kansas, Wesley l.. Jones of Washington, George E. Chamber lain of Oregon, E. D. Smith of South Carolina. M x. Johnson of North Da- kota, Benjamin l.. Shiyely of Indiana, Coe I. Crawford of South Dakota, w. O. Bradley of Kentucky, Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, Theodore E. Bur ton of Ohio and Geo. E. Oliver of Pennsylvania.
 The retiring senators and their length of service are Teller of Colo rado. 24 years; Hansbrough of North Dakota, Is years; Foraser of Ohio, I12 years; Piatt of New York. l2 years; Kittredge of South Dakota. 8 years; Ankeny of Washington, 6 years: Fulton of Oregon. 6 years: IUng of Kansas, years: Hemenway Of Indiana, 4 years; McCreay of Ken lucky, , years; Milton of Florida, year, Gary of South Carolina, 1 year
 and Knox of Pennsylvania, years. The retirement of the old time members of the senate leaves many important committee places to be fill cd when the sixty-first congress as- sembles. The passing Of MT. Hemen- way, republican. and MT. Teller. dem Ocrat, will make vacancies on the i'm portant committee on appropriations. On the committee on finance in the senate vacancies will be made by the retirement of Senator Platt, Teller and Hansbrough and by the death of Senator Allison of Iowa. These and other important committee places resulting from the shake-up will be distributed for the most part among the older members on both sides.
 Mr. Root of New York is the only new senator who is likely to receive important committee appointments. Having been at the head of the war and state departments he will be placed on both the military affairs and the foreign relations committees.
