Several Changes Effected.
The new list Of subcommittees COM
priseo two more bodies than were in ex-
istence in the committee during the Sixty
first Congress. A general overhauling
and rearrangement throughout marks the
work of the new Democratic regime. The
judiciary and the ways and means Sob
committees are the only ones retained
of the old list. Education is freed from
charities and labor, and two separate
committees are the result. Streets and
avenues are also divorced from street
railways. and the old subcommittee on
steam railways Is consolidated with the
latter.
Instead of re-establishing the subcom-
mittee on interpretations, the committee
organized a new body to handle matters
relating to water, light, and telephone.
