OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. "Wash
lrgton. 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

chance to become chairman of public
lands, which Is more important.
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.
TWO PASSENGERS AND TWO EM-
. PLOYES CONTRIBUTE CASH.
Th irross receipts of railways in the
United Kingdom amounted to 127,218.000
lut year, as against 123.925,565 in 1910.
Nearly $4,000,000 ..worth of furs were sold
at the Irblt (Russia) fair this year. Of this
amount squirrel sains brought 1 1. 640, 700.
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. A special to the
Chronicle from Boise, Idaho, announces
that a majority of the State Board of
School Trustees filed today a report of
the Investigation of the State Indus
trial School at St. Anthony, completely
exonerating Superintendent J. 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. Hill, other members of the Board,
will file a minority report advising the
dismissal of the school officials.

CONTINUE fwith no denials) to CHALLENGE

brands made in Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania
and all over the .U. S. that they cannot show proof
that their combined bottlinsr equaled, or even
approached our last year's record on 7 to 8 year old
Wm. H. McBrayer's Cedar Brook : 2,956,944 (bottles)
bottled in bond in 1911. '
Most of their whiskies are bottled in bond immediately after only 4
ears old, or just -within the U. S. Law Limit. They can't deny that either.
The stamps over their bottles proves that.
On this showing, having bottled in bond more 7 to 8 year old Cedar
Brook Whiskey in our one Kentucky Distillery last year than ail other
brands put together, it is therefore Tha Oldest and Best Quality on the
market, which has always made it the biggest seller and will continue
