ADMINISTRATION
RAILROAD BILL
CHAIRMAN MAY CHAMPION 1T
AFTER INCORPORATING SOME
OF HIS OWN IDEAS.
MAY ADJOURN MAY Is
POSTAL SAVINGS BANK BILL, MA.
VAL APPROPRIATIONS, AND
ELIMINATING CANNON.

Washington. March 27.-Ambition OF
Representative Townsend of Michigan
to assume charge of the administers
ton railroad bill on the floor of the
House will not be gratified. the honor
going to Chairman Mann of the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce.
This fact developed today and sup.
porters of the bill in the form in
which 1t was originally intro
duced by Representative Townsend as
1t now is pending in the Senate are
greately disappointed.
II has been thought the intense OPP
position of Mr.. Mann to certain fea-
lures Of the bill as drafted by Attorney
General Wickersham would make him
disinclined to champion 1t. His sue
cess in Incorporating many of his own
ideas into the measure, however. made
Mr.. Mann willing to assume the spon-
sorship.
by the Senate about as rapidly as
they are received from the house. The
spirit of retrenchment which has a
firm hold in the Senate committee pre-
cludes the enlargement of the bills to
any extent.
The naval appropriation bill is be-
fore the House now and there is in
prospect sharp contest over the ques-
ton whether there shall be construct
ed two big battleships. or only one, as
the minority of the committee favors.
A similar fight will be made in the
Senate. where many favor cutting
down the appropriations for the navy
and army.
The postal savings bank bill is ex.
pected to come out Of the House com.
mittee within few weeks. There is
considerable sentiment in favor OF
amending 1t SO as to insure the keep
ing OF funds in banks in the vicinity
where collected.
II the row between the regulars and
insurgent Republicans is at an end. as
leaders OF both factions profess to be.
heye. 1t would appear that adjourn.
ment OF Congress may be expected
about June 10. There are indications.
however. that the fires OF the recent
contest are smoldering and may break
out at any moment.
Considerable talk is heard about
eliminating Cannon from the speaker
ship. and Saturday the idea was ad.
yanced that Asher c. Kinds. the parlia.
mentarian of the House might be 70.
yored for that place.
In view OF the fate OF the Burleson
resolution. which was designed to ere.
ate n vacancy. members might hest.
tate to renew such n motion. The
whole subject, nevertheless. is attract.
ing attention.

The principal and most amusing feature planned for the guests was the guessing con- test. On the curtains were pinned numerous hand painted leaves. The guests were each given d hand paint ed tree on card board, and on this tree they were to find their ancestors whose names were written on the backs of the leaves In this the lady passed from leaf to leaf expect. ing to find her incestor's name upon one. but never thinking who her an- eestor was.
