new member to succeed Catlin he
named Representative Burke of South
Dakota.

Mr.. Burke is not only q stalwart of
the stalwarts. but he is an expert in
Indian, public land, and all related
matters involving the public domain.
He is. moreover. a vigorous and ef-
fective worker and an excellent law

Administration is expected to be
borne by him.
How seriously the situation was re-
garded, may be Judged from the fact
that Mr.. Burke was chairman of In

were in control of the House. and Is
now the minority leader on that i'm

few days later Fuller was thrown from
his horse and his leg hurt. Blood

CONGRESS TO HAVE
R. NJ. MARTYR AS
NEW PIE SL|CER
Ninth Street Restaurateur
Named Caterer In Place
Of w J. Coffin.

A new pie slicer is to take cnarre
Of the House restaurant. The Demo-
critic House, having distributed all the
political pie at its disposal. has turned
Its attention to ordinary pastry, and the
public buildings and grounds committee
decides upon a change In House restau-
rant caterers.
w. J. Coffin. who has held on for
fourteen years under Republican ad-
ministrations, was asked to resign last
night. His successor as caterer to the
Congressional appetite will be R. M.
Martyr, now engaged in the restaurant
business on Ninth street.
Mr.. Coffin says his removal is a re-
suit OF politics. He has no personal
criticism to make Of the committee,
which is headed by Representative
Sheppard of Texas, but the present res
taurarteur says the complaints made
against his management have not been
sufficient to justify the steps taken.
Prices Cause Trouble.
The complaints. 1t is said, mainly
concerned the price of food. The COM
mittee wants to install dairy lunch
for the benefit of those who cannot pay
the prices that are acceptable to some
members Of the House. The dairy lunch
department. under the new manage
ment. will dispense piece Of pie for
cents, instead of 10, and a cup Of COT
fee may be had for a nickel, also.
Chairman Sheppard. whose committee
baard q doxep or mara hiddera for the
House restaurant privilege. says that
the change was deemed advisable af-
ter investigation.
The Washington times., 1911-07-21

That q sweeping and wIde-reachint
inquiry into the whole course OF eventi
relating to the Guggenheim grab fol
Alaska will be conducted between nov
and the December session, Of Congress
was the announcement made today BY
the House Committee on Expenditures
in the Interior Department.
The matters are so important, and
the complexity Of transactions so diff
ficult, that the committee has decided
not to proceed further till Louis D.
Brandeis, the Boston lawyer and in
vestigator who has been engaged az
counsel, can come and give his entire
time to the matter.
Owing to other business affairs. Mr..
Brandeis is unable to come to Wash
ington Immediately. Accordingly, the
committee has tentatively decided to
drop the Controller Bay and general
Alaska inquiry for the present, and to
take II up again in October
At that time Mr.. Brandeis will come
TO Washington, prepared to remain with
the committee till the work Is COM
pleted.
Members of the committee were
elated today over their success in get
ting Mr.. Brandeis into the case. He
was not secured until after personal in
terviews with people who have got far
enough into the case to realize and be
able to inform him about the immense
Importance OF the matters that are
developing.
Studied Case Carefully.
Mr.. BrandeIs studied the situation
with care before giving his answer.
Familiar with much of Alaskan polite
al and business history through his SER
wing in the Ballinger-Pinchot case, he
was able to realize without difficulty,
when the facts were laid before him,
the great opportunity now offered him
to complete the work he began in the
Ballinger matter. This opportunity
naturally appealed 10 him. and he
finally accepted the committees urgent
request that he act as its counsel.
With the entrance Of Mr.. Brandeis,
the scope Of the inquiry will lie much
broadened 1t will aim at norhing less
than an exposure OF the whole inside
helms on one side and the Taft Admin
istration on the other. with the pur-
pose of getting an Alaska monopoly con-
tirmed in the Guggenheims.
Mr.. Brandeis is looked upon as tho
one great lawyer peculiarly equipped

of his name was promptly met with
unanimous approval by all members Of
the committee who are desirous of
making the most effective investigation
possible.
How seriously the inquiry is re-
garded by the National Admfrdstra-
ton, is indicated by a change that has
been made this week in the member
ship of the committee. Representa-
tive Theron E. Catlin. OF Missouri, Re-
publican, Unexpectedly resigned from
the committee on the minority side of
the committee. At once there was re-
port in House circles that Mr.. Catlin
had done this in order to make room
for a strong administration Re
publican, thoroughly familiar with
public land matters, who would be-
come a sort of counsel for the de-
fense.

LOVE TWICE JA|LS
GERMAN WHO IS
ACCUSED BY GIRL
Hans Konnecker Is Convict.
. ed Again For Threaten
X ing Aimee Dorm.

Twice to jail for the love Of a girl
and his sweetheart twice the accuser,
is the experience of Hans o. F. Kon-
necker, who was before United States
side Of police Court today for threats
against Aimee Dorm, a telephone ope-
Fator, in the New National Hotel
The latest chapter in the love affair
of Hans and Miss Dorm was written
yesterday when Hans returned to
Washington after a months sojourn
in New York, Philadelphia and at
Sheepshead Bay.
Miss Dorm told Judke James L. Pugh,
in court today. that Hans telephoned
her a half dozen times yesterday at
the New National Hotel The fifth
time he called he said, according to
Miss Dorm, If you don't see me I'll
come down and break up the switch
board and finish you, too"
Girl Wrote to Him.
Then Miss Dorm called the police
and arranged the meeting that Hans
desired. Detective springman, from
police headquarters, was on hand
ner Of Third street and the Aveune
yesterday afternoon. Hans was ex-
cited when he met Miss Dorm, ac-
cording to Detective Springman, and
therefore the arrest was made.
Seven letters, each with love included
were introduced by the counsel for
konnecker in the trial this morning.
Miss Dorm said that she wrote them
all. She further said that she had tele-
graphed Hans and had telephoned him
since him he left Washington.
Il think 1t is shame that l cannot
get rid Of a man that I do not want"
said Miss Dorm on the stand today. Il
wrote him in the hope that he would

him again or have anything more to
do with him
Mrs. Dorm, mother OF the complain
Ing witness, testified that on last Thurs
day when Hans paid a flying visit t.
the city, and her house he had said
IF Aimee says she does not care for
me I'll end 1t all"
Hans told the court today that his
statement to Mrs. Dorm meant that If
Aimee did not love him he'd end him
self"
Arraigned Before.
The first appearance of Konnecker in
court came late In May, when he was
charged with making threats against
Miss Dorm. A sentence of sixty days
or bond of 500 was required, when Kon-
necker was found guilty. After three
weeks in Jail the amount of the bond
was reduced to 800, and Konnecker
was released from jail on the under
standing that he would leave for his
home in Germany.
The trouble of Yesterday afternoon
came right after the arrival of Kon-
necker from New York 1t was brought
out today that last night. according to
her statement, Miss Dorm planned to
have a party, and feared that Hans
might come and make some disturbance
The court ordered Konnecker COM
mitted on the original sentence of
sixty days. Sentence in the case to-
day is suspended. and will be passed
prior to the expiration of the original
term imposed on Konnecker.
1t is understood that arrangements
may be made to send Konnecker back
to Germany within a short time
