George Edmond Foss. chairman of
the committee on naval affairs, leaves
a brilliant and beautiful office. George
EdmuEds is known as one of the least
active men in congress, and the long
walk Will come hard for him. Besides,
he will have TO leave behind the only
finished scr OF marine paintings In the
capitol-the collection Of a lifetime OF
erdeavor nv his predecessors on the
naval committee.
Foreign affairs has pretty little
suite of two rooms up on the gallery
floor. The chairman David j. Foster.
Of Vermont. has held his Office only a
part OF a term. He succeeded the LATE
James Breck Perkins, in April of this
year SO that he has hardly had 4
chance 10 acquire the loafing habit.
He moves. however. So does John w.
Weeks, OF Massachusetts. chairman Of
The big committee on postotflces ana
post roads. The postoffice committee
had two commodious rooms on the
ground floor. On the same tier with
Weeks was his colleague. Ernest W.

New Yorker May Get It.
Some Of the committee charmen
will take even longer moves than that
involved in trip to the Office building
OF the list Of those TO whom even the
office building will become terra I'm
cognita the most important is James
A. Tawney. OF Minnesota. Mr. Taw-
ney leaves congress for good He 70
ceived his quittance at the hands of
the members OF his own party when
they refused TO send him into the cam
paign. The chairmanship Of the cont
mittee on appropriations carried with
1t an Office just off the floor OF the
house. II corresponds in appoint
ments and conveniences 10 that Of the
speaker himself 1t IS now the belief
that Representative John j. Fitzgerald,

pant.
Another fine Office will be vacated
for good and all by Representative
John a. +. Iiull. of Iowa, who was de
feated for denomination last June, ami
whose successor will be an insurgent.
