COMMITTEE PASSES UP
CLAYTON'S CERTIFICATE
No Final Action Taken-Senators
Prepare for New Bill on
Elections.

The Committee on Privileges and EIec-
tons took no final action yesterday on
the certificate of Henry D. Clayton as
Senator from Alabama by the appoint
ment of Gov. O'NeaI.
1t was agreed that a hearing shall be
extended to Representative Clayton and
his supporters one night next week.
Much of the time of the meeting Of the
committee yesterday was devoted to a
discussion of the situation Throughout
the country affecting vacancies that may
occur in the Senate under the new con-
stitutiOnal amendment before the State
Legislatures have had an opportunity to
make provisions for holding elections for
Senators.
A subcommittee was created, of which
Senator Walsh of Montana was made
chairman, to prepare bill or resolution
providing that the present laws of the
several States enacted for the election
of State officers shall be applicable in the
election of United States Senators until
such time as the State may make fur
ther provision for such elections through
their Legislatures.
This amounts to an assertion of tenn
pOrary Federal control over the election
of Senators, against which the Southern
Democratic Senators protested so vigor-
ously some time ago. The amendment
provides that Congress may fix a time,
manner, and place for holding elections
At the time this feature was under con-
sideration its authors disclaimed any in
tention on the part of the government
to control the elections, but insisted il
was put in simply to meet a situation
like the present.

HERMAN SHOOTS INTRDUER%
Man Is Arrested for
wounding Housebreaker.

New York, Aug. 8.-After a revolver
shot had aroused an exclusive Residential!
section of Sheepshead Bay early today.
Eugene Herman, a wealthy theatrical
man, told the police that he had wounded
man through the hand after the latter
had entered his home and penetrated to
his bedroom. Two of Mr.. Kernan's maid
servants also said they had been aroused
from sleep to see a man speeding from
the house.
A few minutes after the shooting a
man was seen to totter and fall in the
road at Ocean and Voorhees, Avenues.
The motorman and conductor of a sur
face car observed the man drop and sum-
r.oned the police. DR.. Friedman came
in a Coney Island hospital ambulance
and revived the victim, who was shot
through the hand. He said he was Johu
O'Reiily, a speculator and a waiter in a
Coney Island resort.
Detectives Thomas Blake and John
Ryan later went to Mr. Kernan's home,
accused him of shooting O'Reilly, and
arrested him. Mr.. Herman is charged
with felonious assault. O'Reilly was
taken to the hospital and is charged with
unlawful entry.

OLD SURVEYS CONTAIN
MANY INACCURACIES
Forest Service Employees on Land in
White Mountains Find Acreage
Has Been Underestimated.

In surveying mountain lands in the
Southern Appalachian and White Noun
tain regions, with view to government
purchase under the Weeks law, the For
rest Service surveyors find that the
tracts, in many cases, contain more land
tEan the acreage set by the original sur
veys. Taking the region as a whole, the
acreage of lands surveyed by the govern
ment exceeds by l per cent the acreage
believed to be in the tracts by the people
Offering the lands.
In certain instances the discrepancies
of the ole surveys, made generally with a
compass and by surface measurements.
are much more than this amount. Such
an instance is that of a tract in North
eastern Tennessee, which was supposed
by the owners to contain $50 acres. The
survey by the Forest Service, made with
a transit and by horizontal measure
ments, credits the tract with 1,4Sl.SS acres
Over-runs of this kind, amounting TO
from to per cent, have been shown
in a good many tracts.
On the other hand these increases are
partly Offset in other cases in the rougher
hill country, where the old surface meas
urements gave an excess over the actual
the tracts contain by the gov
ernment's horizontal surveys. Perhaps
the most frequent cause of shrinkage is
in the location of overlapping by some
older grant which results in the elimina-
ton from the tract of some part or parts
which were considered as belonging to ii.

CHAUTAUQUA TALKS
BECOMING POPULAR
Movement Is Becoming Decided Fac
tor in Education of Farmer and
Subjects Are Unrestricted.

"Chautauquas" have become highly i'm
portant recently in the teaching of agri-
culture.
Each year." declares F. B. jerks, in
his annual review of agricultural in
struction for the United States Bureau
of Education. the Chautauqua move
ment becomes a more decided factor in
the education of the farmer. The pro-
grams, which in the early history of the
movement consisted principally of Bible
study and recreation. have been consid-
erably broadened, and special features
dealing with farm life are becoming
more popular and more frequent. 1t is
now a common occurrence TO find these
programs offering courses in stock JudS-
ing poultry raising, soils. seed testing,
household economy. &c
Scores of new assemblies are organ
lied every year, and the favOrite field is
the rural district. Over 500 local Chau-
tauquas We're held the last season in
Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois. Kansas. and
Missouri. more than 100 being held in
towns with an average population of only
500 In some places boys and girls
clubs have been formed in connection
with the Cha6tauquas, and exhibitions
and demonstrations of their work have
formed an important part of the pro-
gram"
Another special agency in agricultural
education described by Mr.. jerks is the
Grange. OF, to give it its official title,
''The Order of Patrons of Husbandry.
Since its revival in 1880 the Grange has
developed into the largest and most in
fluential national organization Of farm
ers, with 5000 subsidiary oranges and
more than 100000 members Educa-
tionaI work is prominent in the Grange.
the lecturers hour" being everywhere
established.
There frequently is a series of lectures
on some problem of agricultural educa-
ton, and here and there classes have
been formed to carry on college work in
agriculture by correspondence. Particu-
larly important has been the influence OF
the Grange in having agriculture intro
duced into the public schools as regular
school subject.

MAY ELECT CHIEF BISHOP.
Episcopal Convention TO Act On
Important Matter.

One o fthe most important amendments
to the constitution of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. which will be acted
upon at the General Convention of 1918 in
New York next October, is a change in
the method of selecting the presiding
bishop of the church. 1t has been the
custom for the senior bishop, in the order
of conservation, to be presiding bishop.
For this reason the presiding bishop may
be too infirm to properly fulfil his duties.
At the 1910 General Convention, in Gin
cinnati, when the Rt. Rev. Daniel Syl-
vester Tuttle. Bishop of Missouri, was the
presiding bishop. the Rt. Rev. Joseph
Marshall Francis, Bishop of Indianapolis,
offered the following amendment to the
constitution:
Strike out Section 3 of Article 1. and
insert in place thereof the following:
Section 3. Upon the expiration of the
term of Office of the presiding bishop, the
General Convention shall elect the presid
ing bishop of the church. The House of
Bishops snail choose one of the bishops
having Jurisdiction within the United
States to be such presiding bishop, by
the vote of a majority of all the bishops
entitled to vote in the House of Bishops,
such choice to be subject to confirmation
by the House of Deputies.
His term ana tenure OF once snail De
prescribed by canons Of the General Con-
vention. His salary as presiding bishop
shall be fixed and paid by the General
Convention.
when. for any reasons, a vacancy in
the office shall occur, or il by reason
of infirmity the presiding bishop shall be-
come disabled, the House of Bishops
shall elect one of its number to act az
presiding bishop until the next meeting
of the General Convention"
According to Article XI of the constitu-
tion, no alienation or amendment to the
constitution can be made unless it is first
proposed at a triennial meeting Of the
General Convention and adopted and then
confirmed by the General Convention at
its next triennial meeting. In each case,
the resolution must be passed by ma
jority of the bishops entitled to vote in
the House of Bishops, and by a majority
Of the clerical and lay deputies of all the
dioceses entitled to representation in the
House of Deputies

UNCLE SAM BUYS MANY
TREES FROM ABROAD
Figures of Department of Agriculture
Show 3,779,04l Imported
During Year,

Figures gathered by the Federal quar-
antine board of the Department of Agri-
culture show that during the last fiscal
year S,19,0n growing trees and Il, ,04O
pounds of tree seeds were imported into
the United States. The trees include,
say the members of the board, valuable
species that do not grow in the United
States, and stock which can at present
be bought more cheapiy abroad The
tree seeds imported are largely for the
purpose of reforesting land, though in a
number of cases they are used in orna-
mental planting on individual estates
France leads in the number of growing
trees sent here, with a total of 1,7S2, 255.
Germany is second. with S49. .245, and HoI-
land third, with 69O,6S2 Imports are made
from thirteen other countries, including
India, Japan, and Australia.
The trees and shrubs imported are
chiefly evergreens, such as pines, spruces,
and frs and broadleaf pIaHts-oaks,
naples, &c. The majority is stock of
foreign origin, though in a few cases cul-
tivstors abroad through a special selec-
tion of attractive forms of our native
trees have developed them to such an
extent as to make them desirable to pur-
chasers here.
Besides more than seven tons of tree
seeds. many thousands of pounds of seed
of perennial and annual plants, bulbs,
and fruit stock, as well as ornamental
shrubs, are imported. The greater part
of the tree seeds, or more than 1000
pounds, comes from Germany.

CHARITY INSTITUTION
MAY Be INVESTIGATED
Commissioners May Order Probe of
Girls Death at House Of
Good Shepherd.
LATIMER MAKES STATEMENT

With the receipt of an opinion from
Corporation Counsel Z. II. Thomas to
the effect that they possess the author
ity to investigate the House of the Good
Shepherd, the District Commissioners
yesterday ordered the Board Of Charities
to make a report OH the circumstances
surrounding the death of Florence Gle
land, the fifteen-year old girl who was
killed by a fall. while trying to escape
from that institution. This report will
take notice Of the disciplinary condi-
tions under which the District wards at
the home live.
As the order OF the Commissioners had
not reached George S. Wilson, secretary
of the Board of Charities yesterday, he
was unable TO say what the scope Of the
investigation would be. He said, that he
had heard no complaint against the dis
cipline of the institution. There are
eight District wards at the House Of
the Good Shepherd.
1t is stated by friends OF the home
that the sisters do not oppose an in
quiry The Mother Superior last night
refused either to confirm or deny this.
1t is probable that no investigation of
the institution will be ordered by the
District heads unless the report Of the
Board Of Charities clearly demands such
action. Mgr. William T. Russell, rector
Of st. Patrick's Church, suggests that
committee composed OF former Com
missioner Cuno II. Rudolph. the Rev.
John Van Schaick, jr., and John Joy Ed
son, none of whom are Catholics, be
intrusted with the investigation, if one
is made.
The House OF the Good Shepherd has
been in existence thirty years. and has
provided for 1,O5S women, II is stated.
In regard to children remanded by
the District into various institutions.
Judge Latimer, of Juvenile Court, is of
the opinion that many OF them are be-
ing detained Illegally. Judge Latimer
recently ruled that a certain sentence i'm
posed by the former judge OF the court
was in excess OF the authority vested
in the court. and set il aside.

Census Bureau. Mrs. Martin took a civil
service examination and was placed on
the eligible list for appointment from the
crowded District of Columbia roster.
Fortune smiled upon her. however. Mr..
Underwood returned from Alabama at
that time, 1905, without a secretary. Mrs.
Martin was sent to take the position tenn
porariIy, until Mr.. Underwood could look
about for a secretary. After she had
been there a,month, Mr.. Underwood gave
her the position.
Her abilities won for her this year the
appointment of assistant clerk and
stenographer to the Ways and Means
Committee. Despite this, however, Mrs.
Martin continues to attend to Mr.. Under
woods personal correspondence and has
become invaluable to him.

no fears of the hoodoOs Friday and 1S.

Statement of BIuIhaII.
While the committee was trying to es-
tablish a connection between Representa-
tive McDermott and John A. McDermott,
manager of the United States Brewers
Association. Mulhali popped out the
statement that the latter had informed
him that a 5000 payment by the assocai-
tion In the campaign of 1910 was In re-
turn for Representative McDermott's s
support OF uncle Joe" Cannon in the
rules fight OF that winter.
First, Representative McDermott and
then McMichael told me that the liquor
people had promised him 5000 toward his
1910 campaign, and then had paid him
only 5000. In 1912, before going out to
Chicago to raise funds for Representative
McDermott, ] ran up to New York and
saw John A. McDermott. ! asked him to
contribute to Representative McDer-
motifs primary campaign fund. / told
him that McDermott had told me about
the associations owing him 5000 Of the
previous contribution. He said, oh. Nc
Dermott is one of those hungry politi-
clans, always after something for moth
ing. kOou
against him in his district, and 1t doesn't
make any difference to our association
which of the two is nominated or elected
John A. McDermott denied to me that
the association still owed $500 on the
previous contribution. He said that the
s.. coo paid was for McDermotts work In
the Cannon rules fight"
WAS the money contributed by John
McDermott personally, or by the associa-
tion?"
'It was contributed by the association.
Miss HARRIET Daley. chief telephone
operator at the Capitol, identified re-
ceipted bill for long distance telephone
calls charged to Representative McDer-
mitt. most of which had been turned IN
from his Office. The bill covered the time
between March 2, 1911, and March z.
1872. This record showed a great many
long distance calls put in by McMichael
in telephoning MulhalL Most Of these
calls were made from McDermotts OIL
flee, though some were made from the
Democratic cloakrOoms of the House and
a few from the House Press gallery.
There were no calls for Mulhal where
McDermott himself had put in the call.
