TO SUCCEED BURTON
Several Would Head Rivers and Har.
bOrS Committee.

Washington, Jan. 6-The certainty
that Representative Burton, of Ohio.
is to enter the senate makes it i'm
perative that new chairman for the
house rivers and harbors commit
tee be elected. This is one of the most
important committees of the house.
and the speaker has a difficult prob
lem on his hands in making the
selection of It's next chairman.
The ranking member Of the COM
mittee, after Burton, is Representa-
tive Acheson, Of Pennsylvania, but he
will not be in the sixty-f1rst con-
gress. Next in seniority comes Rep
resentative Alexander, of New York;
then Representative Lawrence, of
Massachusetts. and Representative
Davidson, Of Wisconsin. OF course, If
the speaker proceeds in order of SEN
iority Alexander will get the chair
manship. But the defeat of Repre-
sentative Jenkins, Of Wisconsin. for
reelection leaves the chairmanship Of
the judiciary committee to be filled.
Representative Parker, Of New Jer-
sey, Is the ranking member of the
committee, with Alexander second. It
pointed chairman Of this committee
instead Of Parker. In this case. the
fight for the craftsmanship Of the riv-
ers and harbors committee narrows
down to Lawrence and Davidson, each
Of whom will have warm support for
the place.
Lawrence has made q good showing
on the committee, and will have New
England with him. Davidson. on the
other hand, has the support Of the
middle west, and probably will be
strongly urged for the position.
From present indications there will
be no rivers and harboTs bill this
session. This makes the choice Of
the chairman who will be in charge
when a bill is framed. at the long
session, still more important

u
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 6.-Today
witnessed the ceremonies incident to
the second Inauguration of John
Burke as governor of North Dakota
for the second term. In compliance
with the custom of the past the cere-
monies were held in the chamber of
the house and the presence of both
branches of the legislative body in
joint session.
The ceremony which Is always
dignifed and impressively solemn
was more SO this year than on former
occasions. The state seems to turn
more to the side of official dignity as
1t grows older, and each two years
adds to the Importance of the gov
ernor's Inauguration.
Governor Burke has taken on
courtlier dignity with his official ex-
perience, and his two years have add
ed much to his strength as an official.
Today those who witnessed his in
auguration two years ago remarked
the stronger public servant as he ap-
peared today compared with to his
first inaugural.
There was difference also in the
crowd which saw the ceremonies.
Two years ago many were prompted
by curiosity to see and hear the man
who has overcome the stupendous
Republican majority. This curiosity
was especially pronounced in refer
ence to his message to the legislature.
Many wanted to hear at first hand
what he would say officially of the
pledges made during the campaign.
Others were there to criticise. But
today those who were present came
to lend dignity and grace and splen-
dor to the inauguration Of North Da-
kota's governor.
the galleries and foyer of tKe
House chamber were filled to over
flowing with representative citizens of
the city OF Bismarck and the state Of
North Dakota. In the body Of the
house, additional chairs were placed
for the accommodation Of the sena-
tors and on the side were placed a
number Of seats for the aides Of tho
governors party, tho center Of attrac-
ton In which was Mrs. Burke, the
flrst lady OF North Dakota. She en-
tered tho chamber shortly before the
opening Of tho ceremonies, and was
escorted to her place Of honor where
for tho second time she saw her t,us-
band take the oath of office az the
chief executive Of tho state. With
her were a number OF ladies proni-
nent In tho social world of tho state,
their beautiful costumes lending
beauty 70 the scenes of more somber
splendor which the dress of tho gen.
tlemen made conspicuous.

San Francisco, March 3O.-Daniel
Sully the actor, while giving a peri
formance of THE Matchmaker" at
the Ameicarn theater last night. was
handed a telegram supposed to bs
from his wife at Woodstock. N. Y, in
answer to a message he had sent her
on the twenty-fifth anniversary of
their marriage. 1t proved to be an
announcement of the death of his
aged mother at Newport, r. l.
1t is customary to withhold tele-
grams from actors until after the
performance because of the fact that
death messages often affect them so
that they are unable to proceed with
the play but in this case the stage
manager was so certain it was n
loving greeting from Mr.. Sully's wife
that he sent the sorrowful tldings in
at once. The actor was deeply griev-
ed and continued the performance
with difficulty.
