MENTION MADE OF HOWELL
Two Vacant Places ON Ways and
Means Committee - Probable 3
Fight Over the Rules.

Washington, March AS the house
ways and means committee will have the
important duty of reporting the new t.
riff bill. there is keen rivalry among mem
bers of the house for appointments to
fill the three vacancies on the commit
tee. The one vacancy in the Republican
membership made by the retirement OF
Representative BOnynge of Colorado will
in all probability be filled by a member
from a western state Representative
Howell of Utah. Burke and Marlin of
South Dakota and Cushman of Washing
ton have been suggested.
Francis Burton Harrison of New York,
although having served only one term in
congress-, is mosI prominently spoken OF
to fill the vacancy on the minority mem
bershiD on the committee caused by the
retirement of Representative Bourke
Cochran of New York. 1t is understood
that Serene J.. Payne. chairman of the
committee favors Mr.. HarrisCn's appoint
ment, but Cham Clark, the minority
leader, declares he will not consider conf
mittee appointments until the fight on
the rules has been settled.

tees to suggest appointments" ne said.

ANY BUSINESS CAN Be TAKEN UP At
SPECIAL SESSION OF THE CONGRESS
Some Action Necessary to Provide for Taking the Census
Tariff Consideration Will Require Two Months Time.

Senators therefore are considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of entering upon other leEis-
iation. The advocates of postal savings
banks have talked of the possibility of
such a policy being adopted ever since
they became aware of their inability to
secure legislation in the late congress.
There arc many earnest advocates Of a
change Of date in the Inauguration from
March 4. Action on this question may
be taken.
Statehood Talk.
Advocates Of statehood for New Mex
leo and Arizona were greatly disappoinJ-
ed that no progress could be made to-
ward the enactment of an enabling act
during the late session and they are rest
less over any proposition to delay action
until the regular session of congress be
cause they fear the mass OF legislation
which will then come up will crowd out
their claims
The presidents veto of the census bill
makes mandatory some action to provide
for the enumeration of the thirteenth cen
sus. Legislation might be delayed until
early next winter. but some believe that
the extra session would give admirable
opportunity to dispose of il.
The extra session is sure to bring forth
a deiuge of bills in both houses

Washington, Marco When congress
meets, March 10, to consider tariff re-
vision, there win be no constitutional re-
strictions upon the nature of business that
may be transacted 1t is generally con-
Ceded that at least two months will be
required for the house to conclude con-
SideTatiOn of ali the schedules involved
in this legislation. The house itself will
not receive the bill for some weeks, as
the committee on ways and means will
require considerable time to report the
measure. During this period the senate
viii have nothing to do in respect 20
the tariff and even after the bill leaves
the house it viii be in the hands of the
committee on finance for some time be-
fore the senate actually gets possession
of it. Then will begin a long wait by
the house until the senate amendments
can be known ard conferees appointed to
bring about an agreement upon them.
Nothing to Do for Time.
This procedure will result in each house
having to remain in session with nothing
to do in relation to the tariff covering
a period of a couple of months Three
days is the extent of a recess that may
Re taken by either body.

Washington, March THE body of

cod-RIooded Murder.
The police regard the case as a cold
bioOded murder, and as one of the most
mystifying crimes ever committed in
this section A motive is lacking, and
the identity of the man supposed to be
Schultz is by no means complete, Cards
and other papers found in the clothes
are believed to have been placed there
by his slayer.
The theory that the man committed
suicide is not credited because of the
peculiar wound and the fact that no
weapon of any sort was found near his
body.
Inauguration Visitor.
After working all day upon all sorts
of clues. the Alexandria police believe
the murdered man was an inauguration
visitor who was Iured away from the
city, murdered, and his body thrown
into a field, where it was found, about
four hundred yards from the Alexandria
railroad station.
The authorities believe they will es-
tablish the identity of the victim from
a letter. without envelope evidently be-

LOWER COTTON PRICE.
One Cause of Falling off in Our Elk
port Trade.

Washington. March Last January
there was a falling off of about S50,o09.-
600 in the total value of the country
exports. as compared with those of
January. 1905; while for the seven
months ending with January the total
exports amounted to s1,O31, az, S44.
against s11S9 .090,551 in the correspond
ing seven months of the previous fiscal
year. a falling off of S15I,00O,O00.
One cause of the falling off is found
i'm our export trade in raw cotton. The
average value of cotton exported in
January. 1908. was III cents per pound,
and in January, 1909, ga cents per
pound.
Another cause of the decline is the
falling off in the quantity of corn,
wheat and flour exported.

a sword hung over their heads by Jor-

his plan.
CAS- the four men advanced up the
shelving bank gave tense command
to an imaginary posse hid back In the
shadows and, with my revolver leveled

ering the nearest of the men.
This trick may have worked with
soldiers, but it certainly didn't go

four men reached for their guns, at
the same instant dropping fiat upon
the ground, where they were almost
