WAYS AND MEANS
COMMITTEE BUSY
Continued from Page One.

its members went down to defeat in the
recent election. five OF these being Re-
publicans. The committee undoubtedly
will contain several of the newly elected
Democrats
Henry D. Clayton. of Alabama, is slated
for the Craftsmanship of the Judiciary
Committee. William Sulzer, of New York,
has been the ranking member of the Com
mittee on Military Affairs long enough
to have a sure hold on its Craftsmanship.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Brantley, of
Georgia, won place on. the Ways and
Means Committee. he probably will lose
his opportunity to step into the Public
Buildings and Grounds craftsmanship, of
which he has been the ranking mem
Der. The recent defeat of the next mem
Der on the Old minority side, Mr.. Thomas,
pard. OF Texas, with valid claim as
chairman
Sparkman. of Florida, is likely to be-
come the head Of the Committee on
Rivers and Harbors and the Territories
Committee Craftsmanship probably will fall
to James T. Lloyd. OF Missouri
Pndgett for Naval Affairs.
It has been virtually agreed that Lem
uel Padgett. of Tennessee, shall assume
the craftsmanship of Naval Affairs. The
Committee on Public Lands will fall to
Joseph r. Robinson, of Arkansas, al
though Z. IT. Taylor, of Colorado one of
the Western Democrats to he recognized.

OF his residence in the region where pub
lie land matters are of great Importance.

Lands to William r. Smith, of Texas.
The Committee on Invalid Pensions,
which has been held so long by Repre-
sentative SullOway. of New Hampshire,
probably will be led by George II. Lind
say. of New York.
There appears to be no opposition to
the claim of William c. Adamson for the
craftsmanship of the Committee on Inter-
state and Foreign Commerce. which has
been relinquished by james R. Mann. OF

Rules Appointments in Doubt.

Marlin E. Olmsted, of Pennsylvania.
the late chairman of the Committee on
InsuIar Affairs, will find in his place
William A. Jones, of Virginia, according
to the theory that the ranking Democrat
shall be promoted.
The important Committee on Rules is
largly in the air at the present time, ow-
ing to the fact that three of its four
Democratic members-Champ Clark, Os-
car Underwood, and John +. Fitzgerald
are to succeed to better places. Lincoln
Dixon, Of Indiana, may become its chair
man. On the Republican side of this
committee John DalzelI. its late chairman,
is likely to be retained in membership
where ne may be joined by former Speak
er Cannon, an acknowledged ruke expert
as n matter of course.
The committee selections OF the Republi-
cans will he awaited with much interest
Cannon. Dalzell, OlmSted. Payne, and
Man undoubtedly will have a great deal
to say as to what the designations shall
be. The minority places on the Ways
and Means Committee will hardly need
rcplenishing after the Democrats lop off
the overflow and take the majority vote
to their side. Payne, Dalzell, Mccall.
Hill. Forncy. Dwight and Needham un-
dOubtedJy will be retained.
Rivalry Among Minority.
There will he room for several new
Republican appointments on the Appro-
priatinns Committee. Bingham. Gillett,
Taylor. and Malby were the only Re
publican members OF the committee re-
elected to Congress. Providing the COM
mttee is enlarged, there will be five
appointments for the Republicans to
make. There is already some lively COM
petition among the new minority for
these places. 1t is considered likely that
Joseph g. Cannon will go hack to his
old committee is a minority member.

OF the Ways and Means Committee has

An Authors Odd Aversion

The "stoic" meal had attractions for
Edward Fitzgerald. who, among his
other peculiarities. hated to see peo-
pie enjoying their food On one oc-
casion, after a man had finished
glass of wine in his company and gone
out of the room, Fitzgerald remarked.
with disgust: Did you notice how he
took up his glass? | am sure he likes
it. Bahv' Fitzgerald himself, accord
ing to his biographer, Mr.. A G. Ben
son. "lived practically on bread and
fruit. mostly apples and pears. even
turnip. with sometimes cheese or but
ter and milk buildings, But he was
not a bigoted vegetarian. To avoid
an appearance of singularity he would
eat meat at other houses and provided
it in plenty for his guests. But the
only social meal he cared TO join in
was tea, pure and simple. with bread
and butter"

Pretty Eine Scratchra

All eyegiass lenses. glass for mirrors.
furniture. etc, are rubbed with fine
emery paper and later with an ex-
tremely fine powder which gives the
finishing touches In the shape Of very
fine scratches. Now the question arises
as TO just how fine the scratches must
be-that Is. how far apart they must
be, for big scratches good distance
apart give anything but a polished sur
face. The answer Is that the scratches
or ridges between must be less than
one-quarter the wave length of the
light that falls on the surface for the
light to be reflected and thus give the
effect of polished surface. This Is
less than one o-hundred-thousand
of an inch for light waves. No break

they consequently are reflected In their

CLAIMS SHE Is A PRISONER.


AshevilIe. -. g. June s.-The writ
OF habeas corpus proceedings insti-
tufed By attorneys for Mrs. Alice
Nncklce against DR.. Robert s. Car
roll for release from Or. CarroII's
aanifarium on Zillicoa Street has as
sumed an interesting aspect The
writ upon affidavit of Police Captain
r n Jordan. and signed by Judge
Frank Carter, Of The Superior Court,
vas served on DR.. Carroll this week
commanding him TO produce Mrs.
AuckIOe before the court at $40
yesterday afternoon. When the case
ssas called yesterday afternoon Aida
wits we're presented. Julian c. Martin
representing DR.. Carroll. and Jones
and Williams and Mark ". Brown
representing Mrs MuckIoe.
The affidavit OF Or. Carroll recited
%hat Mrs. Muckloe had been commit
ted To his sanitarium By the order
of the court Ipcn the strength Of an
affidavit from Laura Nancy, former
nurse OF Mrs. Muckloe. DR.. Carroll
made affidavit that the patient was
committed 10 his keeping, and that Ii
vas through no desire Of his that she
was detained. but that he was com
plying with the Law.
In the face of the affidavits Judge
Carter stated that he was in no po-
-sition to pass upon the case. but that
he would have the patient examined
as to her sanity by County Physician
ID. +. Sewer and two other physicians.
The case OF Mrs. Muckloe came to
the attention OF the authorities
through letters sent by her to Judge
-Junius G. Adams, OF the city police
court, and TO friends in the city. In
one letter signed by Mrs. Muckloe
and sent to an Asheville lady, 1t is
stated that the writer is detained at
the sanitarium against her will; that
she is being deprived Of her freedom
and imploring the aid Of friends to
help her to regain her liberty. She
stated that she had been made a
subject" at the institution for dem
onstration to the training school and
other allegations of ar ather sensa-
tional nature. In the letter sent to
Judge Adams it is said that similar
statements were made. The letter
signed by the patient is we'll written
and splendidly spelled and punctu-
ated. 1t gives evidence Of being
written by person of education and
culture.
1t is said that Mrs. Muckloe is an
English lady; that she is divorced
from her husband and that she has
an estate of $4,000, or SIS, 900 Amer
1can money. 1t is said that this fact
IS set forth on the commitment and
Ghat the income from the estate
which, it is alleged, was left by Mrs
Muckloe's father, is about $50 per
month. 1t is understood that Mrs.
Muckloe contends that during her
three and one-half years confinement
at the Carroll Sanitarium she has re-
ceived none of the income from the
estate.
