GOV. GROESBECK MAY
SUCCEED NEWBERRY
Senator to Decide in a Few
DAYS Whether He Will
Resign.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD
DETROIT, Nov. 9.--"What is to become
of Senator Truman III. Newberry OF
Michigan" Is a question of growing in
tereet since the defeat OF Senator Town
send.
Ten days ago in Washington 1t was
said Mr. Newberry intended to resign
IL Senator Townsend. who voted to keep
Newberry in the Senate seat, was de-
feated.
Asked for a statement, Senator New
berry said the question of whether ne
would resign was of too great impor-
tance not only to his own State but to
the whole country to be answered until
he had conferred with his political
friends in Detroit and Washington. A
conference, it Is said, will be held within
a few days to decide what he will do.
Should he resign his successor may
be Gov. Alex J. Groesbeck. reelected
Tuesday by $4,000 votes. Gov. Groes-
beck was neutral in the primary Sena-
torial fight and withheld any hearty in
dorsement of Townsend in the election
campaign.
SO the field is clear for the Governor
to offer his own resignation which would
automatically make Lieut.-Gov. Read
the Governor. The new Governor could
then appoint Groesbeck to the Newberry
vacancy.
BIO RAPIDS, Mich. Nov. 9.--Wood-
bridge N. Ferris. Democratic Senator
elect, plans to "do what one man can
to oust Senator Newberry from the
Senate" he announced here to-day. He
does not ''intend to keep still, as is the
custom of new members" he said.
.'The only way they can keep me
quiet is to chloroform me. 1t will be
impossible for me to keep still for six
years. He denied Henry Ford bore q
part OF his campaign expenses.

Few Changes In. Committees.

If it is decided when the new Senate
convenes to continue with the present
committees, except where vacancies
were caused by the defeat of Senators
for reelection, there will be few
changes in the craftsmanship of COM
mittees. Six chairmen of Senatorial
committees were defeated either in the
primaries or in the elections. The two
most important of these chairman
ships are the Finance Committee, SEN
ator McCumber and the Naval Affairs
Committee, Senator Page (Vt.), who
was not a candidate for reelection.
Senator Smoot (Utah) is next in line
on the Finance Committee Mr.. Smoot
Is now chairman of the Committee on
Public Lands and Surveys and it is
understood he would prefer to stay
there. This would give the chairman
ship to Senator La Toilette. On the
Naval Affairs Committee Senator
Lodge Is the ranking member, with
Senators Poindexter (Wash.) and Hale
(Me) next in line. Senator Lodge is
now chairman of the Foreign Affairs
Committee and will undoubtedly de-
sire to continue there. AS latest re-
ports from Washington indicate the
defeat of Senator Poindexter. Senator
Hale will probably succeed to the
chairmanship Of this committee.

"Anything Likely to Happen"

IF the radical groups insist on a
complete reorganization of the COM
mittees on a more progressive basis
then anything is likely to happen,"
10 quote a prominent Republican Sem
ator. No matter what the result, Re-
publican leaders are determined that
in the future when members are Sc
lected for committees they will be SEN
ators who are interested in the work
OF the committee and who can be de-
pended on to attend and take an active
part in meetings. They complain the
disinterest of the majority of commit
tee members caused Republican lead
ers much embarrassment during the
last session.
The defeat OF Senator Townsend in
Michigan may be followed by the res
ignation of Senator Newberry. There
pnquestionably will be enough votes
to- expel him in the new Senate IL the
issue is reopened, and Senator elect
Ferris has declared his intention to
ask a rehearing OF the matter.
Late to-day the statisticians of tho
Republican National and Congression-
al committees informally announced
that the next House would contain
226 members who would vote for the
G.. o. p. candidates. for Speaker and
other officials that go to make up tho
House organization. Keen interest is
manifested I'm the narrow margin, for
the first important problem is the
actual control of the Senate and
House and the formation of the vari-
Gus committees. Friends of Senator
La Toilette will urge him TO use his
influence to dictate the organization
of the Sixty-eighth Congress- They
pointed out that he has enough loyal
political followers in the House to Sc
riousiy interfere with any reactionary
politicians trying to dominate the Sem
ate or House.

Commission Positions.

Six members of the State Highway
Commission ere also to be named,
though it Is probable another effort will
be made TO ieorganize that department
by triple headed commission consist
ing of an engineer. an expert IN con-
struction and a lawyer Two members
of tho Public Utility Commission. four
of the five members of the state Tax
Board one member of the Civil Service
Commission and numerous unsalaried
boards nnd commissions will be name j.
The state Comptroller is elected by
the Legislature on JOINT ballot and as
the LEGISLATURE Is controlled by the Re
publicans, Newton A. X. Bugbee OF
this city will undoubtedly be given an
other term.
It is not probable that the election OF
Gov. Silzer will result In any change
OF policy respecting the tunnel now in
course of construction between New
York and Kew Jersey. The Republi-
can Legislature OF this year practically
removed tho tunnel project from execL-
tive control by ousting the Edwards
Commission and appointing n new com.
mission under an act passed over the
Governors veto.
Except in tho appointment of men,
bers of the commission the policy OF
the State respecting the tunnel -
settled by passage of tho act authoriz-
ing bond issue. which after tho rati-
fication by the voters. became an irre-
pealable statute under the constitution,
until the entire bond issue has been
lidudated.
Latest information available here to-
night indicates that tho $40, 900 900 road
bond issue was ratified by approxi-
mately 1900 majority. In many die
tricts returns OF the voto on the bond
bill were not collected and there are
still many missing districts.

Judicial Openings.

Judge Sizer will, have only two ap-
pointments to the Supreme Court bench,
seven OF the present court having been
named by Gov. Edwards. The two terms
expiring under the Silzer administration
are those Of Justice Swaze. Republican,
of Newark. and Justice Kalisch. Demo-
crat also OF Newark. Three of the six
judges of the Court of Errors and APP
peals will also be named.
Efforts of the Republican legislative
majority last year to hold open several
county judicial appointments by refusing
confirmation in the expectation of a Re-
publican administration have failed and
all county judges and prosecutors will
fall into Democratic hands, Judge
Silzer will have the appointment of sew
enteen county judges and twelve prose-
cutors.
The term of Gen. L. Bryant, Commits
sioner of Labor since 1904, will expire
next year. Republican Legislatures
have twice extended Gen. Bryants tern,
to prevent his removal by Democratic
Governors and another effort is not i'm
probable.

HANDS INDEX TO CHARACTER
Still Reveal Much, Though Probably
Less Than Was the Case Some
Few Years Ago.

Once it was possible to tell ''lady"
by her hands-that is If you regarded
a lady as "a female Of the favored So
cial class" She had well-kept hands
because she did nothing to rOughen
them or enlarge their knuckies or cause
premature wrinkles. Even If fortune
had gone against her she somehow
avoided the work that would mar the
symmetry Of those hands. She did
without sugar for her tea and did.
needlewOrk for money In order to avoid
the work that she regarded as mental.
And because a woman of this class
knew that it was at her hands that
others looked for an index to her So
cial position it was her hands that she
saved, wearing gloves By day and by
night to keep them white and to pro
tect them and repair them from the
ravages Of wind, sun and homework.
The situation is rather different now.
The young woman of immigrant par
ents who sells tinware In the depart
ment store basement has deliberately
manicured nails and hands that are
smooth, but the wife of the college
president has hands that clearly show
the effects OF work that we would once
have regarded as mental.
Perhaps still to the keen observer
hands have something to tell of their
owners rank or pedigree. There are
some hands that no matter how dill
gently manlcured always look a little
grimy at the corners, and others, lack
ing entirely the luster Of the manicure
buffer, that are always scrupulously
clean.

OLD IDEA IN UNIVERSITIES
Student Bodies, Fratsrnally Linked.
Had Their BOVlnnlnus In the
Fifteenth Century.

University life today cmbOdies many
ancient practices in slightly modified
form. College fraternities really date
back to the Fifteenth century, when
universities were few In number and
students were attracted TO them from
many lands. The student body nat.
urally gathered into groups according
to nationalities. and these groups were
known as nations" Later came the
organization OF the student corps in
German universities. In Soma AInerl-
can universities today there are ma
ton societies. as the Philippine, Chi
nese, Japanese and, Cuban. represent.

who were termed "Bacchanten," and
were often worthy Of that title. From
this practice developed the hystem Of

HORSEPOWER" UNIT WRONG
Mistake That Can Be Definitely
Traced to James Watt Was Never
Officially Corrected.

"H. p" as you know, stands for
horse power" and If, therefore, your
motorcycle is a four and one-haIf h. p.
one. you know that what is meant is
that the engine has power which is
equivalent to that Of four and half
horses.
Not sol You would be incorrect to
the extent Of no less than 10000
pounds, remarks q London Answers
writer.
The b. p. unit Of power is fraud,
and the late James Watt of engine
fame IL responsible. Ha was a very
careful engineer, in theory and prac-
tlce. and ne discovered, by many ex-
periments, that the raising Of $4,000
pounds one foot per minute was a good
average horsepower.
But horsepower" today is reck-
oned at 5000 lbs. per foot per min
ute-11. 900 pounds in excess! That is
due to the fact that Watt. in his anxi-
ETY. to encourage business. offered to
sell engines which would develop 49,
600 pounds per foot as a horsepower
IA third more than the actual.
II would seem that he meant ulti-
mately to be honest, but he died be-
fore that happened, and so beQueathed
to the world, which has accepted 1t,
a false unit measurement OF horse
power.
Engineers, Of course. know OF the
error, and make due allowance for It:
but the average Individual does not.

COWBOYS WEAPON THE RIFLE

sally Given the Pistol.

In describing the weapons Of the
cowboy OF the Western range. Philip
Ashton Rollins In his book says: The
rife, when carried, was conveyed, not
by the cowboy himself. but by his
horse, which bore 1t in a Quiver-shaped,
open-mouthed scabbard, into which the
rifle went up to its stock. This scab-
bard sometimes hung from the saddle
horn, but more commonly was slung,
butt forward, In an approximately hori-
zontal position along the near side Of
the animal, and passed between the
two leaves Of the stirTup-leather. The
rife was thus eschswed, because, be-
ing heavy, It interfered with ready
saddling and unsaddling: and, being
bulky, 1t materially detracted from the
riders comfort.
After the early 7Os the rife, regard
less Of its make, was usually called q
winchester" though this particular
term, because Of its similarity to the
name of a well-known cOndlment, was
occasionally paraphrased into "WOr-
cestershIre." Failing these titles. the
weapon was styled merely tribe" It,
except in the case Of the rides special

called buffalo guns. never, was
termed "gun." that word, save for the
single exception noted, being cOnse-
Grated to the pistol.
"Scatter-guns," otherwise shOtguns,
