C |l!| E!:I| HOUSE.
MANY OF MORE PROMINENT MEN
NOT REELECTED.
COMMITTEE HEADS TO RETIRE
The Problem Of Reorganization Al.
ready, Causes Anxiety Among
Leaders,

Washington.-WIth the converting
of a new congress scarcely more than
month distant, the selection of the
standing committees of the next
house and particularly the award of
Craftsmanship, has become the sub.
ject of keen speculation and a source
of some anxiety.
The understanding among members
generally is that the rule of the semi.
ority will be followed in selecting
chairmen. but there may be some ex-
ceptions. In cases in which the chair
men are reelected, it is expected that
they will be retained in their present
places with the possible exception OF
Mr.. Fowler of New Jersey, chairman
of the committee on banking and cur
rency. There are, however, some i'm
portant committees whose chairmen
will not be members of the next
house, and the selection of their sue
cessOrs is causing no little specula-
ton.
Among these committees are those
on the judiciary, where Mr.. Jenkins
Of Wisconsin is chairman: interstate
and foreign commerce. Colonel Hep
burn, Iowa, as chairman; rivers and
harbors, Senator-elect Burton, chair
man, and postoflces and post roads,
Mr.. Overstreet of Indiana, chairman.
These are four of the most important
committees of the house and the
craftsmanship of each is highly priced.
The name of Representative De
Alava S. Alexander of Buffalo, N. Y,
Is strongly mentioned in connection
with two of these committees. He
will be the ranking member of the
committee on rivers and harbors at.
ter Chairman Burton of Ohio takes
his seat in the senate. With the re.
newed agitation in the middle west
for waterways improvement there has
sprung UP a keen desire to keep the
craftsmanship of the rivers and har-
bors committee in that territory. For
this reason Mr.. Alexander's appoint
ment as chairman does not appeal to
the western representation.
The interstate and foreign COM
merce and postofice. and post roads
committees are being paired.
Unless Colonel Hepburn of Iowa
desires to contest for his seat in the
house. and the craftsmanship of tie
committee on interstates and foreign
commerce is left vacant on that &C.
count. there will be a big problem to
be solved in that committee. The
ranking member below Mr.. Hepburn
is James Sherman, vice president
elect Next comes Messrs. Wanger
of Pennsylvania and Mann of Illinois.
The suggestion has been made that
Mr.. Wanger be appointed chairman
of the postoffice and postroads com.
mittee to succeed Chairman Over
street Of Indiana. retired. ..

The extraordinary popularity of fins

choice of Starch a matter Of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch. being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffen-
er makes half the usual quantity of
Starch necessary, with the result of
perfect finish, equal to that when the

Approves Bill to Protect Quail.

A measure providing for a closed
season for prairie chickens and quail
until October 1. 1912, or for three
years. Wednesday afternoon passed
the senate after it had been rejected
by the game committee Senator Gam
mill. the new senator from Frontier
county, won the applause of the gal
leries and the votes of the senator
when he pleaded fer the protection of
the birds in the interests of agricul-
ture. MIR. Gammill declared that he
had seen game SO numerous in his
district that one could kill thousands
of birds in day and that now one
would drive miles without seeing a
single chicken. If the farmers were
to be protected from srasshoppers
and similar insect pests he pleaded
that the game must be preserved.
When the measure was killed in the
committee and seemed to be lost in
the upper house the senator from
Frontier saved it and it was passed
with large majority.
