COPELAND, KING
DR. CLASS SEEN
AS SUCCESSOR .
Democrats Expected to Con-
troll Upper House and. Com
mitteeS in December

Senator Arthur Capper (R.)
of Kansas, veteran chairman of
the Senate District Committee,
may be relegated to the posi-
ton of ranking member Of that
legislative group in December,
with a Democrat assuming con-
troll.
The political finger at present
points the way to Democratic con-
troll Of the Senate when it con-
venes in December, regardless OF
the outcome Of November elec-
tions. There are Al Republican
Senators, AZ Democrats and one
Farmer Labor Senator with one
vacancy caused by the death of
Charles w. Waterman RO OF
Colorado.
Democrat To BE Named
A Democratic governor in Col
orado is expected to appoint q
member of his own party to I'LL
Waterman'S unexpired term. Sen
ator w. Warren Barbour (R0 Of
New Jersey was appointed to I'LL
the vacancy caused by the death
of Senator Dwight w. Morrow
(R.), but accordin to present in
dicationS he will be defeated In
November by Rep reSentatlve
Percy H. Stewart, his Democratic
opponent, WHO will Immediately
assume his Senatorial duties.
Well-versed politicians predict
that, with these two changes IN
the Senate membership, the
Democrats will call for a reor-
ganization Of that body when it
convenes for the short session
which begins in November. In
that event, a new chairman
would supersede Capper, who has
presided since December, 1925.
King May Take Post
Senator William H. King D0
of Utah has been exceptionally
active in District affairs for
many years, and, as member Of
the Senate District ommittee, has
been instrumental in securing ad-
vantageous legislation for the
District. There is, however, doubt
as to whether he would assume
leadership Of the committee, as he
is also ranking Democrat on the
immigration Committee and the
Privileges and Elections Commit
tee.
Senator Carter Glass CD of
Virginia. is next in rank but it
is extremely doubtful. whether he
would wish to take control, and
in the event he does not want
the Craftsmanship Senator Royal
S. Copeland CD of New York,
will probably be named as the
next chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee.

NAVY ANSWERS
LEAVESU|T

Answer was filed today in Dis
trict Supreme Court by Secretary
Of the Navy Adams and two
Navy Yard officials to a man
damus proceeding brought by
Alfred M. Gregory, of Landover,
Md, a typist at the Navy Yard,
who was denied three days leave
with pay which he had earned
before passage of the economy
bill.
The answer contends that the
suspension of the leave under
the economy act was not uncon-
stitutional, as Gregory had de-
clared. It AYERS that Gregory
has no property right in his en-
ployment or the annual leave in
cident to it and that denial of
this paid leave is not in viola
tion of the due process of law
clause of the Constitution.
The officials also contend that
Gregory should have made the
United States Government
party to the proceeding.

DUKER LEAVES
DEATH HOUSE
CELL TODAY
Life Spared by RitChie, Killer
of MiIkman HysteriCaI When
He Gets News

BALTIMORE, Sept. l9.
Governor Ritchie has COM
muted the death sentence
against Herman Webb Duker,
who killed a milkman in an
attempted hold-up, to life in
the State penitentiary.
Duker became so hysterical
when Warden Patrick Brady told
him of the Governors leniency
that his removal from the death
house was postponed until today.
In sentencing Duker to death,
Judge Joseph N. Ulman said it
was a tragedy" to exact the life
of the youth because he was a
psycopath, but sentenced him to
hang because he would be a "Seri-
Gus threat against the lives of
other prisoners and of the guards
in the penitentiary."
Governor Ritchie said that he
could understand readily how the
jurist could take the view that
Duker's mental disorder, while he
was legally sane, should be con-
sidered in mitigation Of sentence,
and also how the judge could take
the view that, inasmuch as the
disorder did not amount to in
sanity, it should not be consid-
cred in mitigation Of punishment.
He continued:
what 1 cannot understand
is how the court can first de-
eide that Duker's mental dis
order should be considered in
mitigation Of punishment, and
that he should not be hanged
and then sentence him to be
hanged anyhow"

BrOwnlOw a Speaker
Addressing the national confer
ence on government, Louis Brown
low, former District CommiS-
sioner, director of the Public Ad-
ministration Clearing House and
vice president of the National
Municipal League, declared that
the slowing up of industry has
laid new burdens on municipal
governments, and any attempt
at government cost-cutting must
recognize that the financial crisis
increase the demand for service
laid on cities and towns.
Governments, he. said, cannot
cut down their expenses in the
same way that private business
enterprises can.
State Senator Seabury c. Mas
tick, of New York, told the con-
vention that the general property
tax is fast nearing the breaking
point as a source of revenue be-
cause real estate is carrying a
heavier burden than it can eco
nomically afford.
Readjustment Urged
Taxes for the direct benefit OF
real estate should be borne by
real estate, he continued, but
other tax sources should bear
more of the burden of paying for
the essential functions of govern
ment.

Children Snubbed Her
All of this was about year ago.
The white children wouldn't play
with Louise, the colored children did
not care particularly about her, be-
cause the little mite said she was
white. So, since neither race SEEM

of lone wolf. However, the adult
colored population sensing the child's
lonesomeness, became her friends.
She could be found any time at one
of their houses.
Then one day fate decided to help
the unfortunate baby. The mother,
in several ways ran afoul of the law,
and the court decided it would be
better for Louise to be reared by a
colored family. So after much dick

Life then assumed real rosy hue
