SCIENTISTS DISAGREE
ON DROPPING OF tail
Should Be Straight. Declares One,
e.. Other Says Not.

Did the stegosaurus hold its tail
straight out or let II droop?
The stegosaurus roamed through the
wilds Of Wyoming about 10000 900 years
ago and two good specimens-that is. the
skeletons OF them-have been dug out Of
rock. One has been set up at Yale and
the other is being placed in the National
Museum here.
The creature had a bumped back and
stood about feet high and p feet long.
It's head was on a long, thin trunk. Pro-
'ecting from the backbone were twenty
one plates. the largest almost twenty
inches square, and these were in two
rows, but alternated. There In nothing
In the world like 1t today
When the curator at Yale put his bones
together to reproduce the stegosaurus he
made the tail stick out straight-in a
funny fashion.
The curator at the museum here
Charles w. Gilmore-has made the tail
OF his stegosaurus droop, In a natural
sort OF fashion.
One couldn't possibly Identify the two
tails as belonging to the same animal,
but they do, and 1t has caused a big stir
among scientists.
The tail on the Yale stegosaurus Is
the funniest thing I ever saw" said Mr..
Gilmore yesterday. The poor beast could
never have held his tail out straight
Mr.. Gilmore has just finished setting
up his stegosaurus and when II is COM
plete Yale delegation will probably slip
down some day to see what the tail OF
a stegosaurus really looked like.

MARTIN NAMEDLEADER
OF SENATE DEMOCRATS.
-Southerners and Conservatives Com
bine to Elect Vireiniian.

Senate Democrats, in caucus yesterday
chose Senator Thomas 8. Martin, of vir-
gtfiia. TO be majority leader in the Sem
ate Of the Sixty-hfth Congress. Sena-
tor Martin IL the senior Democrat IN
point Of service In, the Senate. He sue
ceeds John W. Kern. OF Indiana, who
was defeated for de-election last Novem-
ber ssf
Senator Martin Is conservative. His
selection was made after a protracted
fight between his supporters and the
Western Democrats whose choice was
Senator Thomas j. Walsh. of Montana
The supporters of Walsh urged as the
reason for his selection. the service
rendered. by the Montana man in the
Wilson and Marshall campaign in the
Middle and Distant West. The Southern
representation with the backing Of the
more conservative Democrats lined up
behind Martin. E-r-
Senator Martin has held office con-
tinuously since 1895 when he was elected
to the Senate over Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
idol of the Confederacy and late Consul
General at Havana in the exciting days
of 1899. He comes up for reelection In
1915
Following the decision as to the
majority leadership the caucus reelected
Senator Willard Salisbury. of Delaware,
president pro tempore OF the senate.
In the Republican caucus Senator Gal
linger was reelected minority leader
and all other caucus officials were again
chosen for the forthcoming session.
Both Republican and Democratic eau
cuses designated special committees on
committees. The work of the Republi-
cans will be exceedingly simple. A de-
cidedly complex problem. however. con-
fronts the Democrats. By the retirement
of such leaders as Kern, MARITIME. John
son Of Maine. Smith of Maryland, OGor-
man of New York. and Chiffon OF West
Virginia, several choice vacancies are
created in committee chairmanships. For
these assignments there will be considera-
BILE rivalry.
II was also a subject OF discussion
among the Democrats In the Senate that
one of these vacancies may be awarded
to Senator Stone of Missouri, presently
chairman of the committee on Foreign
Relations. The Missourian's present at
titude towards the Administrators for
eign policy is regarded as hardly sympa-
thetIc. The chairman OF the Foreign Re-
lations Committee is the de facto repre-
sentative of the President and the vehi-
Gle forGfhe transmission of his views and
wishes to the Senate.

ads from any Of the Guardsmen.
No time Is to be lost, for the Third
Regiment Of the District Guard Is to be
mustered out Of Federal service next
Monday. A final medical inspection of all
the men was made yesterday, in order to
determine II any have incurred disabili-
ties that would be a basis for a pension.
T. v. PowderlH acting director Of en-
ployment for the District, Is planning a
mass meeting Of Guardsmen who need
positions, so he can explain just what
the Department of Labor Is trying to do
for them.
He thinks a mass meeting at Fort Myer
on the day the troops are mustered out
would give him a line on the real needs
Of the men.
