PICKING is
NO EASY JOB
434 Places to Fill on 35 Stand.
ing Committees in
Lower House

Most persons who are impatient at
the delay by Speaker John W. Carr
in naming house committc members
have never had the job of making
the assignment, according to eXper-
fenced legislators.
These point out that, on the 35
standing committees of the house
there are 434 places to be filled
while the eight joint committees of
house and senate will require the
services Of Sc more house members.
The largest house committee is that
on apportionment and includes
one man from each of the 40 districts
in the state. Since this is the year
designated by the constitution for
making a rcapportionment, some of
its sessions are expected to draw
considerable attention.
Some Reduced in Size
Some of the committees have been
reduced as to size under rules
adopted for this year. They are the
agricultural, drainage and irrigation
cities and municipal corporations,
federal relations and railroads com
mttees. The appropriation, judici-
airy and state affairs committees are
tied for second place in point OF
size with 10 members each. The
smallest house committee is that on
mileage and per diem with only
three members.
Since applications were received
for twice as many assignments as
there are seats in some committees
and no requests were received for
places on others. Speaker Carr has
had some difficulty in getting tho
matter Strengthened out. He is aided
in part by diagram system which
l.. L. Twichell, former speaker. says
helped him solve the riddle when he
presided over the house.

Chaff From the
Legislative Mill

Michael Halscy, Sioux Indian from
Fort Yates, was sworn in as telephone
messenger in the house Thursday aft
crnoon. He was introduced by Al
fred Brown of the 49th district, who
announced that he brought the legis-
lature greetings from the Sioux tribe
ON the YOrt Yates reservation. Hal.
sey's appointment was the only rec.
ognition given Indian voters in the
distribution of jobs at this session.
It is expected that action will be
taken to place a telephone booth in
the house chamber or the house lob
by for the convenience Of legisla-
tors.
Difficulty is being experienced in
locating committee room, and as a
result the committee on committees
will probably not be ready to report
until Monday. This probably will be
the last organization detail before the
house gets down to work next week.
A special resolution passed in the
house Thursday gives C. A. Starkc.
former Stark county representative,
the privilege Of the floor during the
session.

Inaugurated Today

The never ending battle be-
tween men and the forces Of na-
ture was marked by another hu-
man conquest today when New
Workers and LcndOners talked by
telephone through $500 miles of
air, undefeatcd by the snarl Of
static.

today regular commercial trans
Atlantic radio telephony became
reality for the first time in his
tory.
Atmospheric conditions were
unfav0rablc. but the mechanical
genius Of men proved itself SUI
preme and words spoken in con-
versatiCnal tone on one side OF
the Atlantic doomed through in
struMents in some instances as
though the speakers were talking
on telephones in the same room.
New York, Jan. 7.--LR--Thc dream
of scientists became reality today
when commercial radio telephone
service between New York and Lon
don was formally inaugurated.
The epochal event took place at
8:44 O'Clock, New York time, this
morning, when official greetings were
exchanged by President W. S. Clifford
of the American Telephone and Tel
egraph company in New York, and
Sir G. Evlyn p. Murray. secretary
of the British general postoffice. in
London.
The test had been set for $3.50 a.
M, but the worst atmospheric con-
ditions in months produced static
which somewhat delayed the initial
conversation.
Seated at a table in the offices of
the A. T. 4 T. company in lower
Broadway, President Clifford lifted
up the receiver at 8:44 o'clock and
said to the operator: "Can you get
me Sir Evlyn Murray in London?"
In few seconds later the tele-
phone bell tipklcd and Mr.. Clifford
said: "Good morning"
"Good morning." came the reply
$500 miles away.
Static B0thers
Shortly afterwards static inter-
rupted the proceedings and the two
officials frequently said Il beg your
pardon" as they strained their ears
to catch the words.
Conditions became better after a
time. however, and Mr.. Clifford told
Sir Evlyn that he believed the new
service would link the two countries
together AZ neighbors in real sense.
He congratulated the British general
postoffice on its cooperation.
Sir Evlyn replied he was certain
that the inauguration of personal
conversation between the two coun-
tries would strengthen the existing
friendly ties.
As the two officials said good by,
the operators plugged in for the first
call of the regular commercial serv-
ice at the rate Of $25 q minute.
Officials here, following their an
nounced intention, declined to make
public the name of the lucky person
to make the first call.
The Official conversations lasted
five minutes. Thirty prominent Of

ties were over, the service to the

discontinued. The original. plans
called for cutting in the chimes of St.
Paul's Cathedral in London, but on
account Of the static interference,
the first call came through at time
when the bells were silent.

this position until 1877, and then
served four terms az collector Of
