TRYING TO GIVE SENATORS
THE PLACES THEY WANT
Senate Committee on Committees
Faces Difficult Task in As
signing the Republicans.

The republican committee on COM
mittees OF the Senate has discovered
that it has man sized job on it's
hands in the assignment of the re-
publican senator's to the standing
committees of the Senate. SO far
only preliminary work has been done
in the way of obtaining from each
senator an expression of what COM
mittees he prefers to serve on. The
first real meeting of the committee
will be held Tuesday.
Under the new rule adopted by the
Senate in the last Congress, to be eff
fective after March last the num-
Der of standing committees was cur
tailed from more than seventy to
thirty-four. Also. the new rule pro-
vides for a reduction in the size of
the committees. There is a demand
now that the rule be amended so
that the size of the committees shall
be increased. With all the new re-
publican senators coming in. and the
desire of the older senators to retain
their places on committees. the com
mittee on committees is fr.ding it
verv difficult to please everybody.
There are so few places to he filled
on important committees like the
foreign relations committee and the
finance committee and the appropria-
ton committee and so many appli-
cants for the places. that the com
mittee is at its wits ends

RAIL DELAYS GORYS
VISIT Of INSPECTION
Survey of Rooms Where Ha-
mon Was Killed Postponed.
Trial Resumed.

ARDMORE. Okla, March 11.-Plans
to have the jury inspect the hotel
| suite occupied by Jake l.. Hamon and
| Clara Smith Hamon, the latter on
! trial on a charge of murder in con-
| nection with the killing of Hamon,
were temporarily abandoned this
morning, owing to heavy rain
which was falling at the time set for
the jury to go to the hotel.
1t was stated. however. that inspec-
tion of the hotel rooms probably
would be made later.
Announcement was made today that
with the consent of counsel for the
defense the information on which the
accused woman is on trial had been
changed to read that Hamon was
killed with a metallic instead of d
'leaden" bullet. Amendment of the
information was asked by the state
when examination of the bullet dis
closed that it was of solid steel.
Weather conditions failed to lessen
, materially the attendance at the trial
today and. as was true on the open
ing day of the trial yesterday. the
courtroom was crowded at the hour
fixed for resumption of the hearing
this morning.
Arrangement of Rooms Restored.
The visit of inspection will be the
jury's first official act sipce the last
man was sworn a moment before ad
journment of court yesterday. The
rooms had been placed as nearly as
possible in the exact order in which
they stood on the night Hamon was
shot, November u.
The conference late last night of
counsel for the defense and prosecu-
4 To-, To fI,n yNf
was broken off without an agreement.
Efforts to restrict testimony from
each side to events in the life of the
defendant and Hamon subsequent to
1913 were failure.
You present your case and we will
ours" were the parting words Of the
defense counsel at the conference.
Jury Quickly Chosen.
Five hours and fifty minutes time
and examination of forty mine venire-
men were sufficient to obtain a jury
yesterday.
Upon obtaining a jury so quickly
yesterday afternoon. both defense and
state counsel had said they expected
evidence to be cleared away by to-
futile conference. however. neither
side would make a prediction as to
the trend testimony might take nor
the length of time necessary for COM
pleting the trial.
In connection with the trip of the
jury to the hotel to view the suite
where Clara Hamon and Jake Hamon
lived for years prior to the shooting,
it was said in circles close to the
prosecution that an effort probably
would be made to show Hamon was
shot while in his own room, not in
Claras. has been previously in
dicated. and received his death wound
while lying on his bed.
Possible Defense.
1T was indicated by statements by
defense counsel that Clara's defense
would be either that Hamon was shot
in self-defense or that the pistol was
discharged when Hamon struck at
her with chair. Walter Scott Of the
defense counsel said Clara previously
had made those statements and he did
not doubt she would so testify on
the witness stand and they would be
made part of her case.

REFUNDiNG FOREIGN DEBTS

Congress should not hesitate to pass

secretary. understands the situation

his testimony before the senate fl.

| Die the argument for the speedy pass
age OF the law. 1t comes with poor
grace for democrats on partisan
grounds to object because it confers
too much power on the secretary The
power which Secretary Mellon asks of
congress is no greater than that con
ferred in the making of the debts
upon Secretary McAdoo. t44,asta
1t is out of the question to talk
about forcing the collection of the sc
debts at this time or of even expect.
ing full installments of the interest
to be paid. Demagogues in the senate
who speak for home consumption and
whose knowledge of International fl.
nance is a yawning blank. talk grlibIy
about ligtening the burden of taxation
through collection of the foreign debt.
1t is true that American business is
suffering from our load Of tayation
at the same time the chief cause of
our trouble is the bankruptcy of Eu
rope, the inability of the people to Sc
cure funds or credit to purchase the
products of America. Congress has
recognized that fact by providing cred |
IT OF billion dollars to still further
finance foreign purchases, Now it is
hardly probable that having burdened |
the treasury in order to afford foreign /
credit that this government would
still further destroy the purchasing
power of the nations of Europe by |,
forcing payment of the debts due this |,
nation. No real statesman would ad
gooate such course. Only those who
think that demagogic appeals to the
folks at home will win them badly
needed votes will indulge in sill iy II
wade about removing the burdens of
taxation by collecting foreign debts

And 1t is good thing to have the
surgeons on the ground. During the
six months in which the 5000 chal-
lenges were sent there were no less
than three duels among the
hundreds that actually took place
in which principals received painful
injuries. Nevertheless. statistics
show clearly that the sport, while
more perilous, perhaps. than croquet,
is really among the least dangerous
of Hungarian pastimes. Moreover, 1t
