WADSWORTH HEADS LIST
Important Committee Chairmanships
to Be Filled When Congress
Meets Mondell May Head
Public 1ands.
OREGON1AN. NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Nov. 14. When the Sixtieth Con
gress organizes, Speaker Cannon wilf have
Jive Important chairmanships o fill, four
of them made vacant at the recent elec
tion. ' Representative Wadsworth of New
Tork, chairman of the committee on ag
riculture, paid the penalty for boldly
championing the cause of the beef trust
when the meat Inspection law was under
consideration. Representative Babcock
of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee
on District of Columbia, was left at
home because he antagonized Senator La
Follette. Representative Laeey of Iowa,
chairman of the public lands committee,
did not agree with Governor Cummins on
the tariff question and he was left at
home. And Representative Grosvenor, of
Ohio was retired by the. younger Repub
licans of his district because he had for
years refused to give them any considera
tion. Grosvenor, however, was defeated
In the convention and not at the polls.
The fifth vacancy is the chairmanship' of
the committee on foreign affairs. This
place is vacant because of the death of
Representative Hitt and will be filled
when Congress convenes next month, and
the probabilities are that the man then
named will be reappointed, at the open
ing of the Sixtieth Congress.
Beaten by Cow Issue.
The case of Wadsworth is interesting.
Wadsworth, who had served creditably
for ten terms in Congress and stood well
in the House, thought he was a bigger
man than the President and undertook
to defeat the meat-inspection bill that
was approved at the White House. Him
self a stockman. Wadsworth had had
many business relations with the leading
figures in the beef trust, and made every
endeavor so to modify the meat-inspection
bill that It would not offend the big
packers. Naturally his opponent In the
late campaign made the meat-inspection
bill the sole issue; he adopted the cow as
his emblem, and he hud little difilculty in
winning. Wadsworth's chairmanship will
probably go to Henry, of Connecticut.
A curious thing In connection with this
meat-Inspection Issue is that "Billie" Lor
imer, of Illinois, another member of-the
agricultural committee, stood with Wads
worth through tflick and thin and was
even more intimately associated with the
beef trust, yet he won a renomination
after a hard fight, and was elected by a
reduced majority. Lorimer is the man
who skipped out of Washington Saturday
afternoon with a draft of the bill as it
had been agreed to by the committee,
submitted it to the beef trust officials
in Chicago and then hastened back to
Washington and tried openly to force the
House to accept the changes suggested
by the packers. Lorimer was returned
because his district is, in the packing
house section of Chicago, and the pack
ers threw their enormous power to his
support.
Babcock La Follette's Victim. i
Representative Babcock has for years
been a conspicuous figure in the lower
House of Congress, and several times
managed the Republican Congressional
campaign. He was immensely popular
in the House and a loyal Republican.
Several times he nearly lost his seat be
cause he was devoting his entire time to
the work of chairman of the Republi
can Congressional committee, and this
year, when he turned over that office to
Sherman, he -was defeated by a narrow
margin, through the joint efforts of La
Follette and the Democrats. La Follette
has charged that Babcock Is too good a
friend to the railroads, and that Is why
Babcock will retire. His place will be
filled by S. W. Smith, of Michigan.
Grosvenor AYilj. Be Missed.
General Grosvenor has become a land
mark In Congress; his Iosh will be felt
on both sides of the party aisle. His
bushy white whiskers .made him a con
spiouous figure on the floor, and his
ready wit and biting sarcasm earned for
him the reputation of being as ready a
debater as ever sat In the House.. His
own record was a record of inconsisten
cies. He admits that he has voted on
every side of every public question dur
ing his career, and whenever his record
has been flashed In Congress, Grosvenor
has been there with an explanation, and
he usually carried off the honors, not
withstanding his position was unten
able. He became somewhat arrogant of
late and the younger element In his dis
trict grew resentful and prevented his
renomination. Grosvenor, notwithstand
ing he always preached party loyalty,
urged his friends to knife the ticket, and
they did.- This defeated the young Re
publican nominated in Grosvenor's place,
because he swelled up over his nomina
tion and neglected nls campaign. Gros
venor makes way for Minor of Wiscon
sin as chairman of the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries.
Mondell to Succeed Laeey.
For years Major Lacey. of Iowa, has
been prominent in the. House. He was
chairman 01 the public lands committee
and rendered good service. But he did
not look right on the tariff question, and
this issue, together with factional trou
bles, forced his retirement, and Mondell
of Wyoming becomes chairman of the
public lands committee. Incidentally
Mondell will have to relinquish the chair
manship of the committee on irrigation,
making way for "Irrigation Bill" Ifeeder
o f Kan pas.
There ought to be big things doing in
public land legislation hereafter, for Mon
dell Is posted on the subject-. Mondell is
at odds with the President on the subject
of public land law reform. The change
will not be In the Interest of good legis
lation. Chairman of Foreign Affairs.
It is difficult to tell who will secure the
chairmanship of the committee on for
eign affairs. Cousins of Iowa is ranking
member, and in point of ability few men
in the House are his peers. But Cousins
Is of the Jolly-good-fellow type, and has
made no use whatever of his opportuni
ties, and there is serious question if Can
non will give him the chairmanship. If

Cousins Is overlooked, C. B. Landis, of
Indiana, will land the place. Landis is a
hustler, wide awake, an indefatigable
worker, and one of the most popular men
in the House. He would be a creditable
chairman, and the fact that he is close to
"Uncle Joe" makes It reasonably certain
that he will fall heir to the place: made
vacant by Hitt's death.
HAU DENIES THE MURDER

Been Fired.
LONDON, Nov. 14. Karl Hau, alias
Stau, professor of Roman law In George

the papers In his case not having ar
rived from Germany.
H. Wilson, who was retained tyy the.
prisoner at the last moment, briefly
examined the officer who arrested Hau,
counsel's questions suggesting that the
defense will attempt to show that the
revolver found in Hau's possession was
never fired and was purchased In Con
stantinople, and not in Germany, as
alleged in some quarters. After the
remand had been ordered, Mr. Wilson
said:
"Hau insists that he knows nothing
about the murder and that he .is quite
innocent of the charge."
By the advice of his attorney, Hau
declined to make any further state
ment to the press. The prisoner, who
was stylishly dressed, assumed a con
fident air.

Increased Business.
CHICAGO, Nov. 14. The large orders
for equipment .which have been an
nounced, in the last few days by Western
railroads indicate that all records relating
to Increases in equipment will be smashed

- Rock Island Express Company.
NEV TORK. Nov. 14. The Tribune says
the North American Express Company,
which was incorporated in Maine, with
an authorized capital of $25,000,000, has
been organized by Rock Island interests,
it Is now learned, and is designed to
operate on the lines of the Rock Island
system, as well as to carry on a general
express business. The United States Ex
press Company and Wells, Fargo & Co.
handle most of the express business ot
the Rock Island and its controlled roads.
It is said that In deciding to organize
their own express company the Rock Isl
and management has taken the ground
that the handling of express matter is
highly profitable and is as logically a part
of the business of a railway as the
handling of freight traffic. The Gould
lines and the Hill roads have their own
express companies.

over the Columbia Boulevard shall be
made so as to enable vehicles and pedes
trians to crops the track without un
necessary obstruction or danger, while
the crossing at the Willamette Boulevard

ASTORIA, Or.. Nov. 14. (Special.) The
four-masted British bark Galena, which
stranded on Clatsop Beach yesterday
morning, shifted her position last nigh
and again today. Her stern swung around
ln-shore and she is now heading to the
northwest and well out to sea. The bark

Captain Howell burned his hands quite
