MAY NOT HAVE BILL
Deficit Will Probably Re-
suit in no River and
Harbor Bill.

Washington, Jan. 4-There will be
no river and harbor bill at this session
OF congress If the leaders of the house
have their way about it, A meeting
of the house committee having turis
dlction will meet Wednesday to con-
slider the subject in accordance with
a notice sent out today by Chairman
Theodore E. Burton. Mr.. Burton prac-
tically said today that in view of the
deficit in the treasury. the declining
receipts, and the uncertainty as to the
volume of revenues that would follow
the enactment of a new tariff law. II
would be the part of wisdom to make
no appropriations for the Improvement
OF rivers and harbors at this time.
There are several members of the COM
mlttee who believe that a bill should
be passed, but the indications are that
a majority will side with the view
taken by Chairman Burton and the
house leadership. Although Mr.. Bur
ton will soon be named to succeed Jo-
seph B. Foraker as senator from Ohio
he will serve out his present term
IN the house, which expires March 4
next.

Mr.. MEYERS CONCERT.

An amusing incident occurred about
year ago in which Mr. Otto c. Never
the young American violinist, who is
touring the country, was the central
figure during his stay in LONDON. Eng
iand. Mr.. Meyer was strolling along
the Strand one afternoon when a
courier dashed up to the sidewalk. dis
mounted and handed him a sealed en-
velope which contained the following
mIssive:
Sir Arthur Treverton-It is nv
earnest wish that you come at once 70
Buckingham palace We leave this
evening for a short cruise in the roval
yacht wits a party.
"(Signe1J ALBERT EDWARD"
Mr. Meyer told the courier that there
was some mistake That he was NOT
Sir Arthur but the cuorier insisted
and the whole affair had it's ending
when Mr.. Meyer drew forth some pa-
pers from his pocket and proved his
identity.
The matter was reported back to the
king who became greatly interested in
seeing a person who so closely re-
sembled his particular friend sir
Arthur. that he sent post haste for Mr.
Meyer who was registered at the Cerfl
hotel The meeting with the king was
brought about, King Edward greeted
him warmly and to show his appre-
citation of the whole affair arranged to
have Mr.. Meyer play for him. This Is
one of the most treasured bits of rec
ognition in the mind of the young
violinist.

CRUMPACKER To WITHDRAW
FROM ALL The DEBATES
Tenth District Congressman to Be Supplanted by Cox
Because of Indiana Mans Presence on Ways
and Means Committee

Washington, ID. c., Jan. exit one
rough-and-tumbIe debater from Indi-
ana.
Enter another rough-and-tumbIe de-
batter from Indiana.
If there were an advance program
of the performance TO take place in the
house of representatives during the
remainder of the session a note would
be made of the special features just
Indicated.
Representative Crumpacker who is
a rough-and- tumble fighter without a
superior, will withdraw from the de-
bates in the house and Representative
William E. Cox is expected to make
his debut as lively participant in
the proceedings.
1t almost breaks Crumpacker's heart
to have to separate himself from the
conflicts on the floor of the house,
where verbal javelins are continually
hurting through the air and where
the spear of the average representative
knows no brother. His services on
the ways and means committee during
the framing OF the tariff absorbs all
his time, however, and he will make
no effort to keep up with the progress
of other legislation, much less to par
ticipate in the running debates Most
of his time will be spent in the ways
and means committee room, far re-
from the scene of conflict on the
floor
One of Most Formidable Members.
Crumpacker has long been recognized
as one of the most formidable men in
a cut-and thrust debate in the whole
list of the nations solons. He has a
mind that intuitively grasps public
problems, but his resourcefulness lies
especially in the fact that he is pa
tient plodder, who takes home with him
printed copies of all the bills intro
1uced and burns the midnight oil over
them.
If there is a senegambian in the
wood-pile he is pretty certaing to find
1t. When he arises to ask questions

To say that Crumpacker has been

but paying him a tribute which ev-
