As Foes See Chance
To Split Bill

Friends and foes of President
Roosevelt's proposal to remodel
the Supreme Court todaS- were
digging legislative trenches on
Capitol Hill in anticipation of
long battle.
Opponents were organizing to
divide the Supreme Court fea-
lures from the remainder of the
Presidents bill. They believe
they have a better chance to
prevent the Supreme Court en-
1argement if this proposal sepa-
rated from other reforms which
are universally popular.
Polls Show Chance
There were some signs the op-
position might succeed in their
program. A private poll of the
Senate Judiciary Committee
showed it would vote for such a
division, as advocated by Senator
Van Nuys CD of Indiana, leader
of the opposition. A partial poll of
the House Judiciary Committee
indicated that group also would
favor the separation.
Administration leaders, mean
while, ordered a poll of the House

it stands. Thus far, too many Rep

been non-committal to reveal the
outcome of either House or Sen

DR., BYRD KEEPS

Governor RACE.
Maryland U. Head Picks
No Candidate

COLLEGE PARK, Md. Oct. /.
Dr.. H. c. Byrd, president of the
University of Maryland, will not
support any candida or potential
candidate for the governorship of
Maryland in the coming 1888 cam
pain.
DR.. Byrd, who was appointed
president at the university shortly
after Governor Nice went into
office, has long been a powerful
figure in Democratic circles in the
State. and has been called
"Ritchie'S right-hand man"
When asked yesterday whether
he would support Mayor Jackson,
OF Baltimore, or LanSdale G..
Sasscer, president of the Maryland
senate, for the Democratic nomina-
ton, -Tyrd said he would support
no one. He said:
II have my personal prefer
ences, of course, but you have
my assurance that they will
have nothing to do with the
coming campaign"
Asked if what he said also ap-
piled to the university and its
administration, DR.. Byrd said:
Prom now on, I'm going to
do everything I can to keep the
university out of politics"
Byrd is known to be a close
political friend of Lansdale Sasscer
and his associates say that the
president will undoubtedly give his
unofficial support to the State
senator.

of food. To him good food and the enjoyment
of it are to be included among the arts. And
here again he is not satisfied merely to enjoy
what another has created. He, too, is
creator, experimenting with seasonings and
sauces, cleverly raveling the mystery to find
the magic that transforms the common ele
ments of food into an uncommon dish.
From his original recipes he has given US
some four or five for our readers - the
Chicken-breast Paprika and the Eggs Philo
Vance, both illustrated on this page a
Chocolate Roll that melts on the tongue; a
Perch Philo Vance whose marvellous flavor
will haunt you afterwards; and Christmas
turkey cooked and stuffed in way that would
have made gourmets of our Puritan fathers.

recipes can be. You don't invent things to eat.

that. don't get the kitchen messy, for I'm
an orderly sort of fellow. But there's one
thing won't do - won't wash the pans
We're improving about our food here in
America" Mr.. Van Dine goes on, but we
still have long way to go. Too often our
cooking tastes as if it were made at central
factory and piped in. The best cooking in the
world is to be found in Vienna. There, two
racial strains combine to produce almost per-
feet food - the French strain and the Ger
man. Now, French cooking is almost effete,
while German cooking is too heavy. But
when you combine the delcacy and subtlety
of the one with the substantially of the other,
you get genuine excellence"
Some of the foods on which we necessarily
draw are what Mr.. Van Dine calls "sponges."
Turkey is one of these items of diet. I'D just
average turkey they give you at res
taurant, Mr.. Van Dine says. But if you use
it as a base - sponge, in other words - it is
very good, indeed.
There are other sponges also, )" he goes on.
The four common ones are chicken, fish,
potatoes and eggs. Yet when you treat them
properly, they become mdescribably delicious.
Mr. Van Dine admits that he is food
conscious. There is no reason for man to be
food-conscious, he says, "but l am"

the horses he has backed. And he likes to talk
