To the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor OF The Tribune.
Mr.. John C. Brownell, of the "Perfectly
Regulated Family" takes it for granted that
this man Briggs will be severely repr-
manded." Yes, Mr.. Briggs is becoming an
absolute menace to the long faced, bilious
dispositioned gentlemen. Let US reprimand
him for his facetiousness "a Tribune char
acteristic) in confronting a country gentle
man with cartoon that made him laugh
Let us reprimand him for his inadequate
knowledge of human nature. Who would
ever venture to answer the phone while
taking bath when no one else was home?
Mr.. Brownell says he was never confronted
with such situation, and never will be- Ha.
Either Mr.. BroWnell seldom takes an abution
or else he has made arrangements with the
telephone people not to ring his bell during
his indulgence. Yes, reprimand M Briggs,
for he has most likely done more for
humanity with his humorous and wholesome
cartoons than Mr.. Brownell ever will with
his sermons on "idle pleasures" and "present
day frivolities."
1t would be delightful to see a series Of
cartoons featuring man of Mr. Brownelrs
type.
Go to it, Mr.. Briggs, and more power to
you J. DANIELS

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: One of the best things that has ap-
peared in The Tribune recently was Friend
Briggs's cartoon about the man in the bath
tub having to crawl out and answer the
phone. Fully as good, if not better, was
the letter regarding the same in to-day's
issue. But-now will you, to decide bet.
kindly inform the writer whether this
estimabe Mr.. John C. Brownell was kidding
or in earnest when he indted that epistle? i?
bets that the fellow is a darned fool.
who meant what he wrote. B bets that he
is the author of a very clever bit of sar-
casm. Please find out, if possible, and end
the suspense. GEORGE M. JOHNSON.

Sir: Allow me to congratulate you on

Allow me also to take this opportunity
to thank you and Mr.. Briggs for his clever

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: AS long time lover of the in
comparable work of Briggs, my admiration
is not lessened by the stupid assault made
upon him by Mr.. John C. Brownell in wear
Saturday issue. Mr.. Brownells effusion is
so absurd that it is really humorous
have only pity for one narrow minded

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Having finished reading Mr.. Brown
ellis remarks on Mr.. Briggss cartoon, en-
titled at Happens in the Best Regulated
Families" permit me to say that l con-
slider his letter more amusing than the car
toon, if such is possible. Allow me 10 sug-
gest that Mr.. Brownell be added to The
Trjbune staff, as he easily ranks with the
cleverest humorsts in the city.
Our pious friend really made mistake
in venturing into that labyrinth of vice,
the smoking car, which, as 1 understand,
is maintained for the convenience of men.
In conclusion, it might be we'll to ac-
quaint Mr.. Brownell with the fact that
there are numerous old ladies' homes stu
ated about the country, where he might
find peace and seclusion from this "terrible
world" c. F. BUCHMAN

Naval May Follow Wires Bill.

The naval appropriation bill will be
taken up tomorrow, or as soon as the
committee is organized this week. and
hearings commenced. The House
committee on military affairs will
also! upon organiza ton, begin hear
ings on the War Department supply
bill, pruning the estimates from a
war to peace basis.
Chairman Good of the House COM
mittee on appropriations expects to
begin work on the bill to fill the bill
lion, two hundred million dollar de-
ficiency in the railway funds. When
this measure comes up in the House,
in the time allotted for general de-
bate, it is expected that government
control of railways and the recent adj
ministration of railroad affairs will
come in for thorough debating, and
members will be allowed to express
their views on the railroad problem
by and large.
The agricultural appropriation bill
will be out in a few days. likewise the
District of Columbia bill. Chairman
Good and the chairmen Of the commit
tees other than appropriations COM
mittee, which deal with supply meas
ures, confidently expect to have all
these bills out of the House by the
middle of June, with a view to eXpe-
diting final enactment by the begin
ming of the fiscal year.

Committees Will Be Organized.

While the floor of the Senate is
being held by the speechmakers.
work of organizing the committees
will proceed. The full committee lists
of both parties are expected to be
ready before Thursday for sanction
by the Senate. so that next week all
committees can commence work. By
the time the appropriations commit
tee organizes the House will have
sent over several bills to work on.
The. House committees will be fully
organized by tomorrow by the ac-
ceptance of the democratic list put
in Saturday and will tackle the great
mass of bills already introduced.
Probably the first general bill to
come out of committee will be the
measure providing for the return of
telephone and telegraph wires to pri-
vate control. Members do not appre-
bend the necessity of long hearings
on this bill. since the evidence, they
say, seems to be all one way-of the
failure of government control and the
necessity of speedy restoration.

democratic colleagues from the south
by pointing out the participation of
mont auca sian races in the council
of nations when questions vitality in
