Ways and Means Committee
Unchanged Contests Loom
fQ Other Places.

To expedite the work on new
tarin and internal revenue laws. the
present Republican membership OF
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee was renominated by the Re-
publican Committee on Committees,
yesterday afternoon. This action is
equivalent to election, although It
must be ratified by the Republican
caucus and then by the House itself.
REPUBLICANS TO HAVE ~.
The Committee ON Committees also
decided. the relative political strength
on the Ways and Means Committee
for the new Congress. The hepubn-
cans will have IL members and the
Democrats 8. On the other major
committees which have IL members
Il was decided that the political
division should be is Republicans
and 6 Democrats. This division 10
based on the proportionate Republic
can and Democrataic representation
In the House. the Republicans having
sol members and the Democrats l3z.
The selection OF a whip was no.
discussed at yesterdays meeting, it
was announced. Selection Of the
Steering Committee also went over.
The next meeting will be held ono
week preceding the Monday on
which the extra session convenes. In
the meantime. IL was announced,

ch airman of the Committee on COM
mittees by reason of his position as
floor leader; Congressman Moores. OF
Indiana. secretary, and Congrsss-
man Mannn. OF Illinois. will prepare
a tentative list OF committee as
signments and recommend the rela-
tive representation on the minor COM
mittees
CONTEST OvER WHIP.
The contest for the position Of
W hip. next to the selection Of the
all powerful Steering Committee, Is
the most important matter before
the Committee on Committees. Con-
gressman Knutson. of Minnesota, is
a candidate for reelection as whip
and he Is opposed by Ward, of New
York.
Madden of Illinois. another mem
| ber of the Steering Committee, may
be made chairman of the Appropria-
tions Committee IL Chairman Good
carries out his intention to resign.
The power of the Steering Com
mittee in determining what legisla-
ton shall be considered and what
must be suppressed has aroused strong
resentment among a considerable pro-
portion of the Republicans and an
open attack on 1t is certain to attract
big following.
| Another fight likely to cause row
is the reported determination Of the
Republican leaders to cut down the,
size of the Rules Committee SO as to
make it q real west pocket" COM

Granger and a
Finnish Composer
Heard at Pianos
Music of Selim Palmgren
Brought to Light at
Concert.

Percy Granger. pianist and composer.
has also been long noted rs an explorer.
Having himself been discovered by Grieg.
he In turn discovered Cyril Scott and
the futuristic music of the percussion
instruments. Now he has discovered
who was horn in 1878 and ought to have
been found out long ago. Otherwise there
Is little profit in having been graduated
from the Helsingfors University and
having studied music under Conrad
-Ansorge and Ferruccio Busoni Of tie
celebrated Berlin Puppen Alice.
Mr.. Palmgren has composed concertos.
tone poems, operas and other works. and
last evening Mr.. Granger introduced
him to an audience in Aeolian Hall for
the purpose OF removing the lid from
some Of these too long silent composi-
tions. There were ten preludes. all psf
formed by Mr.. Palmgren. who also
played eleven other descriptive piano.
forte pieces OF his own creation He and
Mr.. Granger and two different kinds OF
pianos were heard In q suite In four
parts, entitled Masked Ball.
IT Is recorded that currants. straw
berries and raspberries are grown with
success In Finland. and doubtless Mr..
Palmgren's youthful genius absorbed
much OF the delicate flavors, winsome
fragrance and titillating acidities OF
these captivating fruits. His music some
times suggested currant tart. sometimes
strawberry shortcake and sometimes
raspberry soda. Or. to be less figurative.
II was generally fancifui. sometimes
flimsy and too often intangible. yet It
had always a certain grace and elegance
and occasionally a we'll drawn individu-
aiistic phrase. which sounded almost
as II the composer had said something.
This piano music had the lure OF the
domestic fIreside or the social evening
with few friends at home when Jenny
is asked please to play something.
No doubt some Of these compositions
will find their way into the salons OF
the prosperous. Especially likely is
Evening Whispers to acquire a gentle
popularity. The most commonplace OF
all the solo pieces. It was also the most
pleasing. Referring to the suite for two
pianos, II can be said that the ensemble
playing Of Messrs. Granger and Palm
gren consisted chiefly Of descending.
