Wants Committee of Fl
Handle All Soldier Laws

A select committee OF twenty-one
members of the House. twelve Re-
publicans and nine Democrats, to
consider all legislation relating to
all honorably discharged officers,
soldiers. sailors and Marines of the
world war is proposed in a resolu-
tion introduced yesterday by Rep
resentative Hull.
The select committee would take
from other committees the various
bills now pending and others to be
introduced which provide for civil
re-establishment, vocational rehab-
ilitation, educational facilities. en-
ployment. credits, additional COM
pensation. including bonuses. hospi-
tai facilities. homes or ailotting of
lands, amendment to the war risk
insurance act, and compensation for
disabilities incurred in the service,
including allotments.
Mr.. Hull believes that by thus
concentrating Jurisdiction in one
body. rather than leaving the meas
ures scattered among half a dozen
committees, consideration can be
expedited and better legislation en-
acted.

Comiskey Park, Chicago, Oct.
6.-Before the eyes of the Chicago
White Sox this afternoon there
spun a baseball that acted. as a
thing bewitched.
The ball came from the hand OF
"Hod" EIler, a thick-set young
pitcher on the Cincinnati Reds,
bulked out there on the pitching
mound. He seemed no different
from any other pitcher as he drew
back his right arm and lashed the
ball toward the batters with all the
stereotyped motions of the mounds
man approved by years of baseball.
But the ball, as it went whistling
across the breasts of some of the
greatest hitters in the American
League, twisted and turned and
dipped and dropped in uncanny
fashion, and the throaty voice of
Umpire Charley Rigler came to
the cars OF the startled batters.

with the idea Of clashing with Mr..
Wilson. Hardly before the Repub-
Iicans realized it the possibility of
Mr.. Wilson being a candidate wa.
removed.
Changes in Republican Iine-ups
will come with startling rspidity.
The first was the elimination OF
Senator Harding. The Ahio Senator
had 4 good e-ouse. We says he
wants to run for Senator again.
The next Withdrawal probably
will be that Of Senator Watson of
Indiana He. too. has the excuse of
running for reelection as Senator.
II should be borne in mind that
these Withdrawals are not volun-
tary. Party leaders are debating
them in order to clean up" the field.
For instance. Governor Lowden, of
Illinois. is being allowed to play at
the game Of being a candidate. He
has lot of money and il is doing
no harm to have it circulated a bit
especially in those sections where the
Republican boys have been out Of the
marshalships and revenue jobs for
seven years. II sort of whets their
appetites to see someone hopeful
enough Of winning to spend money on
organization work But Lowden is
not the choice Of the party bosses.

ed by Chairman Hays. has definite
ideas as to who shall be the candi-
date.
First choice is Senator Knox, OF

Second choice is Gen. Leonard Wood
