Not. 11. After March 4 all the committees of the United States Senate will be reorganized; present Republi can chairmen will be deposed and Democrats will take their places; the Democratio membership on ail com mittees will be Increased, while Repub llcan membership Is cat down, that the Democrats may have control, and with this change the clerical force of the Senate will be revised; Democratic Senators will have two, three and four clerks each, acording to the importance or their committees, while Republican Senators will find themselves with one clerk apiece, unless they are ready to go down In their pockets to employ additional help. Such are the fortunes of political war. The Democratic Sena tors live in clover after March 4, 1913; the Republican Senators will be com pelled to get along with the bunch- Krass that surrounds the clover rieia. Just when the Senate will reorganize is not yet known, but reorganization probably will occur during the, special Senate called Immediately alter m in auguration of President Wilson to con firm his appointments. With so mucn ftronage and prestige at stake, ttfie rmocratlc Senators will be anxious to acquire new honors and new patronage as speedily as possible. Seniority Role to Apply. The reorganization, of course, will be directed by the Democratic caucus, and as the present Democratio member ship on committees was made by the last caucus, the Democratio committee lists, as they stand today will form the basis of the new assignments, and seniority rule will generally apply. This being the procedure. Democratic Senators now at the head of the mi nority membership on committees will succeed to the chairmanships, except in cases where a Senator heads more than one committee, in which case he must express bis preference, and the Senator next in line will succeed to the chairmanship on the committee he passes up. There are a number of Democrats who have been so long in the Senate that they find themselves at the head of several committee lists, but no Sena tor will get more than one chairman ship, and seniority will give a Senator only the one chairmanship he may elect, if eligible to more than one. Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, for instance, is in line for six chairman ships, and is physically incapable of filling any of them. Simmons Slated for High Post. The Committee on Finance beads all the committees of the Senate, and this chairmanship would go to Senator Bailey, of Texas, but he voluntarily retires, leaving Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, In line for this Im portant post. There are bigger Demo crats than Simmons on the Finance committee, and if for any reason he should not become chairman of Finance, the place would go to Stone, of Mis souri, or John Sharp Williams, of Miss issippi, in the order named. . The second Important committee is Appropriations, for which Senator Till man is in line, but as he has not the strength to handle so busy a committee, he probably will step aside, leaving Culberson, of Texas, in line for the chairmanship. Culberson, however, is also second in line for the Judiciary committee, and in case Senator Bacon takes another place, Culberson will have his choice between Appropriations and Judiciary. If he takes Judiciary. Martin, of Virginia, is the probable chairman of Appropriations. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, an old timer, is In line for three good chair manships, the committees on Rules, Foreign Relations and Judiciary. It is not known which he would prefer, but he will have choice. If he takes Rules or Judiciary, Senator Stone, of Missouri, will head Foreign Relations, the most dignified committee of the Senate; if he takes Foreign Relations, Senator Overman, of North Carolina, will head the Rules committee, unless Senator Culberson should, prefer Appropriation's, In which event Overman could have Foreign Relations if he preferred It to Rules. wlands May Head Commerce - Body. Senator Tillman again is In line for the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Committee, handling rail road legislation, but probably will not take it, thus paving the way for Nor lands, of Nevada. But Newlands, like Tillman, is In line for so many good committees, it is impossible to tell which he will choose. Newlands can have his choice between Interstate Commerce, Public Lands, Conservation or Irrigation, and Is likely to choose Public Lands. If he does Senator Clark, of Arkansas, will be chairman of Inter state Commerce. Beyond a doubt Senator Martin, of Virginia, will take the chairmanship of the commerce committee, as he is rank ing member, and in making this choice he will relinquish his right to the chairmanship of the District of Co lumbia committee and committee on claims. The former will go to John ston, of Alabama, or Smith, of Mary land and claims will go to Davis, of Arkansas, if Overman gets something better, as seems probable. The committee on military affairs will be an important one, as the Demo crats have ideas of their own as to how the Army should be conducted, and this important chairmanship goes to Senator Johnston, of Alabama, who is in line, and will prefer it to the District of Columbia committee. Equal ly important will he the naval affairs committee, for which Senator Smith, of Maryland, is in line. It Smith prefers something else Senator Thornton, of Louisiana Is the logical man for chair man. Senator Davis "In Bad." The West is particularly Interested In the public lands committee, it Is probable Senator Newlands will take this chairmanship, because of bis In terest in all public land questions. Should he prefer another committee. Senator Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, would be In line, but Davis is one Democrat who is "in bad" with his colleagues, and he would not be placed at the head of this big committee, but rather Sen ator Chamberlain, of Oregon, the third Democratc, would be named. It Is not likely that Senator Newlands would claim the irrigation committee, for which he Is eligible, and the line of succession would fall to Gore, of Ok lahoma; Smith, of Maryland, and Cham berlain, In the order named, with very fair prospect that Chamberlain would be chairman if Newlands stepped aside, unless, as shown above,, he had a ' . ft . it 41 t ' " l!

Senator Bankhead. of Alabama, will have his choice between the commit tees on agriculture and postofflces. If he takes postofflces Gore will be the chairman of agriculture, and if he takes agriculture. Smith, of Carolina, will lead postofflces. Senator John ston, who is in line for the military committee, Is also eligible for chairman of the committee on privileges and elections, but with no - Lorimer caBe threatening, he probably will waive that right to favor of Senator Fletcher, of Florida. Clarke to Head Civil Service. Among other probable committee chairman may be mentioned the follow ing: Senator Swanson, of Virginia, will go to the head of public buildings; Sena tor Clarke, of Arkansas will take civil service if Johnston takes military at fairs; Rayner, of Maryland, will pre side over the committee on education and labor; Overman Is in line for fish eries If he fails to take claims, and Davis, of Arkansas, may be allowed to hold immigration, for which he is in line. Bill Stone, of Missouri, is In line for the Indian committee, but If he fares better through second choice in bigger committees Owen, of Oklahoma, will take Indian affairs. Senator Myers, of Montana, while third on the list, will probably be the chairman of the committee on mines and mining, as tne two Senators rank ing him are in line for committees they would prefer to this and Senator Smith, of South Carolina, will presioe over the manufactures committee. Pension Policy Problem. If Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, does not become chairman of publio lands, there' are possibilities that he will' be made chairman of either the committees on territories, Philippines, agriculture or irrigation. What the Democratic pension policy will be Is yet to be learned. Senator Gore is in line for this chairmanship and if his second choice nets blm something more desirable. Senator Shively, of Indiana, will take pensions. Senator Owen Is in direct line for territories, but may prefer something else. Senator Lea, of Tennessee, is likely to be the next chairman of the com mittee on conservation, as all who rank him are eligible to better things. Sen ator O'Gorman, of New Tork, may be the new chairman of lnteroceanlo canals. Of course, these calculations may be somewhat upset if Senators entitled to certain chairmanships prefer some thing else, and are able to arrange swaps, but under the existing order and rnle of seniority, the important chairmanships will be filled from among the Senators named. OFFICERS MAY STXJDT WAR United States Asks Permission for Officers to Visit Scenes. WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The United States has asked the Balkan allies and Turkey to permit a party of American Army officers to Join their forces and go over the fields, on which some of the greatest battles of modern times have been fought within the last few weeks. If permission is given, members of the special cavalry board now touring Europe and the available military at taches at London and Paris will be or dered to the scene at once. None of the military observers assigned by for eign nations to accompany the bellig erent troops in the Balkan war has been allowed to get to the front so far, but the War Department desires to take advantage of the probable imme diate conclusion of hostilities to send experts over the battlefields, while the atmosphere is still charged with the breath of war. Even after the forces have been withdrawn, it is said observers may study with profit the methods em ployed to handle the wounded, the disintegration of the armies and the ef fect upon fortifications and trenches of the tremendous artillery fire, which was the principal feature of this short and fierce war.

Porter Saves Passengers in Sleeping Car by Arguing That Women Have No Valuables. OTTUMWA, Iowa, Nov. 20. Two masked men held passengers on train No. 12 of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad last night between Mystic and Ottumwa, secured loot amounting to about $350. The men robbed two passengers, and two em ployes of the company. A. Young, a passenger from the West to Chicago, gave up $80 in cash and a diamond ring valued at $150. J. G. Zook, his com panlon, was robbed of $72.35. x'he robbers boarded the train as it was leaving the station at Mystic, SO miles north of Ottumwa. As the porter, J. Robinson, was closing the7 vestiouie aoors 01 tne ooservation car a revolver was pointed at his head and $5.30 was taken from him. The robbers jumped off at a crossing In this city, Robinson prevented the robbers from entering the sleeping car by arguing with them that it held only women and children and that they did not want "a lot of screaming going on,' and that they had no valuables. The passengers afterwards made up a purse of $50 for him. Young said he and J. G. Zook, both of whom are employed In Kansas City, were playing cards when the robbers entered the car. Zook's watch was taken from him but was thrown back when the men saw it was engraved. Board- Exonerates Humphries. SPOKANE. Nov. 20.

T. Humphries and other officers of the school, who were charged with inflict ing unmerciful punishment on inmates. It is said Governor Hawley and George E.
