the lines running between this city and

with the biggest tangle i'll the service

raj crowd was still drifting back. but
by slow degrees. Arrivals at the Jersey

turning from some big funeral. The in
augural day festivities had proved a
mournful time for them.
1t was after midnight when the bulk OF
the members of the republican county
committee came through the gates at the
Jersey City station. They had been due
there four hours before. 4 little after 4
o'clock the 7th Regiment arrived on a
Baltimore and Ohio train. The trip had
kept the guardsmen over ten hours on
the road Shortly before a Pennsylvania
train had landed about 80 Nassau re-
ublicans-"Roosevelt's Neighbors."
On the Pennsylvania railroad there was
no communication during the morning
further south than Bush river. Md. sew
enty-one miles south of Philadelphia.
Betwe that point and Washington
noth hing definite was known about the
trains. Train No. N. which left Wash
ington at 12:1o this morning, and which
was due at 800 o'clock. had not been
heard from at 10 o'clock. Train No. 80
| leaving Washington at 12:30 O'Clock this
morning and due at 1:0S o'clock, was re-
ported passing Bush river and would
! be over three hours late.

OTHER ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES
Minority Leader to Designate Demo
crat in Senator-Elect Will
liams' Stead.

Speaker Cannon is puzzling his head in
the interim between sessions of Congress
over the personnel of the next commit
tee on rules.
The appointment Of this committee will
be one of the first duties the Speaker of
the incoming Congress will have to per-
FORM, unless the "insurgents" muster
enough strength to form an alliance with
the. democrats to amend the rules so as
to provide for the election of commit
tee on committees.
Speaker Cannon does not believe they
will So he is considering some of the
problems that may vex him in the days
to come.
| There are two vacancies on this power
full committee. Vice President Sherman
has just left it, So has Scnator-elect Will
liams of Mississippi.
Tawney or Mannp
Many members believe the choice of a
Representative Tawney, chairman of the
committee on appropriations. and Rep
resentative Mann of Illinois. Although
Mr.. Sherman came from New York, the
position is claimed by western members.
MI sherman SUCCEEDED Ge0eral SirOS-
venor of Ohio The western delegations
,, claim it is high time that the plum be re-
turned TO them.
While the Speaker is western man, it
is urged as customary that the other two
repub blican members of the committee be
chosen one from the east and the other
from the west. Representative Dalzell Of
Pennsylvania is the eastern representa-
tive.
Most Of all, the Speaker desires a par
Humanitarian who can defend any rule on
the floor of the House In an impressive
and persuasive way. Representative Mann
fills the qualification we'll. The objection
to him is he comes from the Speakers
own state.
Other Eligible Timber.
Representatives DENLY and Townsend
of Michigan, Smith of Iowa, Currier of
New Hampshire and Foster of Vermont
are regarded as possibilities.
The selection of the new democratic
member probably will be left to Minority
Leader Clark. 1t has been regarded as
desirable to have the minority leader a
member Mr. Clark cannot take the posi-
ton as long as Representative De Almond
of the same state, Missouri, remains on
the committee.
A plan has been devised by which Mr.
Clark and Representative Fitzgerald, re-
garded as one of the best parliament
tarians of the democratic side, will be-
come the minority's representatives on
the committee. AS yet the plan has not
been approved by all interested in it.

phonic communication to Washington by

This condition was brought about by
the taking down of the aerials in the
