PLACES ON Committees FOR ALA
BAMA SOLONS.
Speaker Cannon Leaves Henin on the
Important Work Of Agriculture
and Gives His Place to
Chicago Man.

Washington. Aug. 5.-(Special.)-
Representative Dent has been APP
pointed q member Of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee by Speaker
Cannon.
This is an important committee. az
1t makes the appropriations for the
army and the West Point Academy. and
has much other business of conse-
quence. and interest to handle. 1t 10
the committee on which the late Col.
A. A. Wiley of Montgomery served
with signal ability during several
terms, and Capt. o. c. Wiley for the
unexpired term Of his brother, had the
same assignment.
Not many of the first-term members
have been as lucky as Mr.. Dent.
With one exception. Alabama. in the
makeup of committees, retains the
fine assignments as the members from
the State had ip the last Congress. as
follows:
appointment having been made at the
beginning of the extra session; Mr..
Taylor. Rivers and Harbors: Mr.. Clay
ton. Judiciary: Mr.. Richardson. Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce. and Pen
sions; Mr.. Hobson. reappointed on Ma
val Affairs and given Merchant Marine
and Fisheries besides; Mr.. Burnett,
Public Buildings and Grounds and I'm
migration; Mr.. Craig. reappointed to
public lands and put also on expendi-
lures in the State Department.
Much to the surprise Of Alabamians
and to Democrats Of the House gen.
orally, Mr.. Refiin was dropped from
the Committee on Agriculture by
a. fa 81 NtrgA n.
sociates, In expressing their opinion of
the action OF the Speaker, manifested
much disappointment, especially as
they insist that Mr.. Hefiin 10 from one
OF the great agricultural States of the
Union, and they think he rendered ex-
cellent service on this committee.
Among those who recommended MT.
Helms reappointment was the presi-
dents of the Farmers Union. the
Southern Cotton Association, and Hon.
Champ Clark. the minority leader.
But 1t will be recalled that Mr.. Hefiin
offered q number of bills In the last
Congress against dealing In futures.
only he called II gambling outright.
as well as measures relating to gather
ing statistics. and the Congressman 9
friends declare that certain interests
had rim fnarksd una suceeeded IN hays
ing him taken off the committee.
The Speaker had full sway and de-
cided that Mr., Helm should 60 on the
Military and Industrial Arts and Elk
positions Committee.
On the whole, Alabama has Jared

cratic States having the same number

VIRGINIA IN DOUBT
Race for Governor of the Old Dominion
Is Close with Both Fact
ions Claiming q
Victory.

Richmond. Va, Aug. 6-On account
of storms in Southern, Southwestern
and Eastern Virginia, the returns from
the Democratic primary held yesterday
are very meagre. 1t is impossible to
determine at $3.50 o'clock whether Mann
or TICKER has been nominated.
Tucker declares he has won out by
q safe majority and Colonel James
Mann, campaign manager for Judge
Mann, sent The Times Dispatch q
statement declaring that Mann has won
by $500 votes
One of the most interesting features
OF the day was the vote of Albermarle
County, the home of Senator Martin.
In spite of the Senator's support Of
Mann, the county went for Tucker by
twenty majority.
Tucker Ellinson has been named for
Lieutenant Governor: Williams has
won over Catlett for Attorney General,
and Koiner has polled a very much
larger vote than Brown for Commits
sioner of Agriculture.
The result in the gubernatorial race
probably will not be known until late
today
