limited to fifteen minutes. Mr.. F1tz-
gerald's address was evidently having an
effect on his colleagues, because his tune
was twice extended. Finally Mr.. Clark
jumped into the breach.
Clark Doesn't Want Power.
The Speaker-to-be expressed the opin-
ion that it was the duty OF the Demo-
Gratis to take from the Speaker the privi-
lege OF naming the House committees.
He said the Democrats carried the House
by virtue of the support Of the independ-
ent vote of the country. 1t was the un-
derstanding Of the independents that this
reform would be adopted il the Demo
Gratis were successful.
Mr. Clark insisted that there was
countrywide demand that the claws OF
the Speaker should be clipped. and there
was a popular impression that a good
way to do II would be depriving him Of
the power of naming committees. Mr.
Clark told his fellow Democrats that tn
his opinion the party would ALLEVIATE the
Independent vote if IT failed to create
committee on committees, and he strong
ly urged that the caucus stamp the pro-
posed reform with its approval.
Representative Sulzer opposed the prop
osition to curtail the powers OF the Speak
Speaker rather than any group or cabal
that might be formed to run the party
organization. Representative Page. OF
North Carolina, approved the committee
on committees plan, but urged that an
exception be made in the case OF the
Committee on Rules.
This committee, he urged. should be
named by the House. in accordance with
the precedent established a year ago.
a
coalition with the Democrats. removed the
Speaker from the committee and forced
the adoption of a resolution providing
for its selection by the House itself
instead of by the presiding officer.
There was also some discussion OF the
Thayer proposition that the committee
on committees be composed of thirty-f1ve
members. one from each Democratic
State delegation. each members vote to

resentative Shaughnessy. a raw recruit
from Rhode Island, suggested that the
Committee on Rules be made the COM
mittee on committees.
Representative Page proposed that an
independent committee be created to
name the existing standing committees.

any Democratic caucus. He denounced
the cut-and-dried programme that had
been prepared for the evening. The
ways had been CREASED, and the pig was
about to be pushed along. just as it had
been planned, he said.
Wouldn't BE Howled Down.
An attempt was made to howl Mr.. Clark
down, but failed. He waited until the tu-
mutt had subsfded, and continued, saying
a lot OF caustic things about ring rule.

like that excited interest among the new

revolt. As a result of MIR. Clark's per-
formance last night he will probably

FEAST OF STALE DISHES"
LETTER READ IN HOUSE

The Republicans Of the House of Rep
resentatives enjoyed themselves hugely
for half an hour yesterday while the
Democrats sat silent and gloomy. At the
request of Representative Calder of New
York a Republican, a circular-letter ad-
dressed by Representative Martin Dies, Of
Texas. a Democrat, to his ''fellOw-wor
of the House, was read from the Clerk s
desk and was printed in the Record. In his
letter Mr.. Dies bitterly attacks those Of
his Democratic colleagues who, he says.
are trying to usurp power and lead the
majority of the next Congress by the
nose.
Representative Heflin, of Alabama. tried
to prevent the letter being read by max
ing the point of order that it was not
germane. But he was overruled by the
Chair. The reading of Dies scathing ar
raignment of last nights caucus as "a
feast of stale dishes and as frame
up was greeted with laughter and ap-
plause by the Republicans. The Demo-
Gratis squirmed and were silent. None of
them replied.
Just before the reading of the letter
Representative Parsons. of New York.
demanded a call of the House so that a
good attendance would be insured.

That a profitable white slave traf-

Exposed in PittsburE.
This new system received its first ex-
posure in Ioittsburg last month. when a
"Dr" Otto Hegenbech and several of his
girls. including an ''instructresS." Were
arrested and fined. Justice Kirby told
the doctor that his red whiskers ought
to be pulled out one by one at intervals
OF two minutes
This action led to the exposure Of the
alleged traffic here. a Pittsburg woman,
whose daugher. she claims. was en-
shared by one Of the agents in that
city. and who is now busy avenging the
girls wrong, tipped Off the Washing

of the places here.
Yesterday Precinct Detective Howes
and Police man MesSer palmed themselves

and gathered sufficient evidence, they
claim, to have the Police Court hold the
prisoners this morning.
They say that at none of the '-parlors''
did they find any of the usual parapher-

OF. The three local shops are said TO
have yielded the proprietor a net weekly
income of about $50 since their estab-

Pence, 4 prominent lawyer of New York
and former Representative in Congress,
who was here yesterday on business be
fore the Supreme Court.
Why in the world are you surprised at
the effect of the speech of Champ Clark
at Baltimore" queried Mr.. Pence. He
is only making plain what every thinking
man has known. The Democratic party
is not going to smash any more pay rolls.
1t is not going to be responsible for any
more armies of unemployed. Its hosts in

Pay rolls are the seat and center of

ANCIENT OFFICE OF CORONER
In Former Times Powers Of This Off
ciaI Were Many and Of
Importance.

1t has been supposed, and legal his.
torians have told us. that the Office
OF coroner was originally instituted
by King Alfred with that of the shsr.
in, both being designed to aid in keen
ing the peace when the earls gave IN
the wardships of the county The legal
historians are wrong, according to DIR.
F. j. Waldo of the British Medico-Le.
gal Society, who has traced the his.
tory OF the coroner and his ancient
office as far back as the year 1874.
In early days the coroner had a wild.
er and more general Jurisdiction than
he now enjoys. Coroners were wont
to hold their views" not only upon
deaths where an investigation was
considered necessary, but also upon
various serious crimes which were
treated as occasions for the raising
of revenue for the Crown. The mis-.
sion Of the coroner to the state was
not alone to investigate crimes and
bring felons TO justice. He superin.
tended the forfeiture OF money and
personal property by criminals to the
Crown. for the recording Of which he
was responsible. These forfeitures
we're not confined. in cases of violence
and death, to the property of the per.
son who could be held directly re.
sponsible. but included ANNALS and
instruments to which loss of human
life under any circumstances might
be traceable.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. NJ Postum and
Opened the Eyes Of the Family.

A lady writes from Brookline, Mass:
"A package OF Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
Il notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning l prepared some of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
1t was an immediate success in my
Amily, and from that day we have
ased 1t constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink 1t freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think II
delicious, and / would have a mutiny
on my hands should l omit the be-
loved beverage
MY husband used to have a very
1elicate stomach while we we're using
eoffee, but to our surprise his stom.
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lly / wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
She was prejudiced against It at
hrst, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got well quickly she
became and remains a thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use Of coffee havs
grown healthy again, and today she is
new woman, thanks to Postum. 4"
