REPORT ON VAN SCHAICK
NOMINATION is DELAYED
Supporters of Candidate for Com
missioner Request Opportunity
to Present Further Evidence.

The nomination of DR.. Van Schaick,
meet strong opposition when it is
taken up in the Senate, it was said
today. The District committee, by
vote of to yesterday ordered a
favorable report on the nomination,
and Senator Sherman, chairman of
u ould make the report to the Senate
in a day or two. He said he had
been requested by supporters of DR..
Van Schaick to delay thu. report
short time so that they might have
opportunity to present further facts
showing that DR.. Van Schaick is a
bona fide resident of the District in
the meaning of the law providing for
the appointment of Commissioners.
Senator Sherman said he had reached
the conclusion after hearing all the
evidence that DR.. Van Schaick is not
eligible for appointment as District
Commissioner, because of the provi-
sions Of the law which say that an
appointee must be a resident of the
District for three years prior to his
appointment and must not have
claimed residence elsewhere. The SEN
ator said it is not necessary in the
case Of nominations to file minority
report. 1t had been reported that a
minority report would be filed signed
by at least seven members of the Dis
trict committee.
Final action on the nomination of
DR.. Van Schaick may be delayed for
some time, it was said today. Sem
ator Sherman disavowed any intention
to filibuster when the nomination
comes up for consideration.

HICCUPS NOW SLIGHTLY
EPIDEMIC IN DISTRICT

The fact that a severe and protract-
ed case of hiccups, which had for
days afflicted patient at the Hotel
Arlington. recently was relieved per-
manently and almost at once by os-
teopathy, has resulted in two inter-
esting statements. The first is that
there is at present a slight epidemic
of hiccups in the District, and the
second is that the cure was by no
means fortuitous but is a simple and
speedy form of treatment which any
competent osteopath is prepared to
give at any time and which has been
understood among such practitioners
for years
Evidence of the prevalence of this
annoying trouble, which IL too pro-
Iracted may prove dangerous, is con-
tanned in the fact that since the pub
1ication of the news item regarding
the cure in The Star more than one
newspaper office here has been re-
Quested for specific information as
to how and by whom the relief was
given.
Although the physiological mechan-
well understood by the various forms
of the healing profession. it is point
ed out. and although there are yari-
Gus remedies, no clue has yet been OBJ
tanned as to why the irritation of the
diaphragm, which is the underlying
reason for an attack, should be either
infectious or contagious. The trouble
