WASHINGTON BOSSIP OF THE VERY HOUR HEADS OF BIO COMMITEES IN NEW DEALS ' ABSORBING TOPIC AT CAPITAL. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20,-Matters are fast shaping toward the downfall of Representative John J. Jenkins as chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the House, one of the most im portant committee berths in the low er body of Congress. If the Wis consin lawmaker fail of reappoint ment when Speaker Cannon makes up his committee assignments for the Sixty-first Congress, it will be due to his decided views on the question of government ownership of public utilities. Since the opening of the present Congress there have been frequent rumors of a strong probability of Speaker Cannon naming some other lawyer than Mr. Jenkins to head the Judiciary Committee. These rumors, now given considerable cred ence, have broken out afresh follow ing the introduction by Representa tive Jenkins -of a measure providing for the purchase by the Federal gov ernment of the gas and electric light companies of Washington. The Jtn kins measure carries the unmistak able label of "government ownership,' and, moreover, it is the kind to incur the displeasure of the Speaker and of the men who make up the governing body of the House. The Jenkins measure is the cul mination of a long and determined fight by the people of Washington, through their District Commission ers, to. obtain cheaper and better gas and electric light The price and quality of gas sold in the District of Columbia have been regulated by Congress, but the contention of the people is that the present price is not only too high but that the quality! has become so inferior as to endan-i ger life and health. The recent deaths of three persons in a single family from the fumes of monixide gas has served to make more acute the local gas situation. The fact that Mr. Jenkins has offer ed his bill in good faith and as a solution of the local gas troubles is not likely to appease Speaker Cannon whose opposition to alt such radical legislation is a matter of public re cord. Nor is this latest offering ot Mr. Jenkins the kind to convince Uncle Joe of- the wisdom of again naming the Wiscconsin man to guide the Judiciary Committee. The Spea ker's memory, too, for previous legis lative offerings may re-act to Mr. Jenkins disadvantage. He has only to consult the proceedings of a for mer Congress to find that Mr. Jen kins introduced a bill providing for the purchase by the government of certain valuable coal lands. This was following the great anthracite coal strike in 1905, when the entire country was affected by a long-stand tne dispute between the mine owners and their workmen. Mention of this, in connection with the Jenkins rill to purchase the local lighting companies, ie made to show that Mr. Jcnkiiis has not discharged his belief in govrnment omnership as the true solution of problems affecting the vital interests of the people. Speaker Cannon'a decision to name another member to head the Judici ary Committee would in no sense re flect on Mr. Jenkins' ability as lawyer. His career in Congress has been a noteworthy one, and he has won the admiration of the Speaker t - Ti I ... ifll-Ii if CO Fighting the Beef Trust and sup plying good wholesome meats are two different things.

He probably would be shifted to another committee headship of importance, though just what one has not been discussed as yet. Before his election to Congress, Jenkins' reputation was uu enviable one. it was tor mi reason largely that he won hit pres ent berth on the Judiciary Committee In the event of Representative Jen- kin's retirement from the Judiciary Committee, it is highly probable that Representative Alexander, of New York, would succeed him as chair man. The New Yorker is. next in tine on this committee after Repres entative Parker, of New Jersey, whose chances of succeeding to Rep, Jenkina shoes are admittedly not bright, in addition, the Speaker is said to have t decided preference for M. Aloander, which to those under standing the workings of the House would mi an his selection to the post n t;ue?;ion. But one thing seems to stand In tSe wk of Mr. Alexander! becoming head of the Judiciary Committee. He is. next to Rep. Acheson, of Pennsyl van'a, in line for the chairmanship of the Rivers and Harbors Commit tee, which wilt become vacant in March when Rep. Burton, of Ohio, goes to the Senate. Rep. Alexander is said to have a decided liking for the Rivers and Harbors Committee, a body having in charge the distri bution of one of the Congressional "pork barrels." This, of course, it an important consideration, and one likely to swerve the average lawmak er whose constituency depended up on frequent appropriations for the improvement of some river or har bor. Thii is by no means an unim portant consideration to Mr. Alex ander, for he represents in Congress that bustling little port-community, Puffa'o. But Mr. Alexander, being a lawyer and a 1 vrt, too, has also a fancy for hav.ng a finger in legislation re qririeg more than a passing know ledge of Intricate Blackstone. To him, then fore, the headship of the Jvdiciary Committee would seem a tempting plum. Next in line for the Rivers and Harbors chairmanship after Mr. Alexander is Representative George P. Lawerence, of Massachusetts, an other 'A Speaker Cannon's "favorite sons." Now Mr. Lawrence has a fancy -for this committee, on which he has served creditably through Several successive Congresses, and the Soeaki-r has not hesitated to en courage him in it, particularly so since Rep. Burton's election to the Senate started discussion as to those committee changes. The fact that Mr. Lawrence hails from the little inland town of North Adams in the Berkshirea of Massa crti setts, mstead of from some port city from which demands on the "pork barrrl" would lead to hints of this job. He has been an earnest student of rims and harbors mat 'ors and 'n this wv has won the high regard of Chairman! Burton, favoritism, seems to clinch a hold on who draws en the Bay State man at the needs of the waterways. Mr. Lawrence opposes a bill at this session, but "wholly because he thinks Congress is net sufficiently well in formed to pass & measure providing for the expenditure of from $50,000000 to SllV.COO.OOO. His plan is to "go slow" until all the i. Joimation ".on ccrning 1 tic projects now pending, notably the inland Waterways and the Lake to Gulf projects, is in the hands cf Congress. THROW OUT THE LINE Give Them Help and Many Astoria People Wffl be Happier. "Throw out the life line" The kidneys need help. ' Thev're overworked can't get the poison filtered out of the blood. They're getting worse every min ute. "., ' Will you help them? Doan's Kidney Pills have brought thousands of kidney aufferers back from the verge of despair. Will cure any form of kidneys trou ble. ' ' George K. Parish, 372i E. Oak St., Portland, Ore., says: "Not a symp torn of kidney trouble has ever re turned since I used Doan's Kidney Pills some years ago and I am pleased to confirm the statement I gave in their favor at that time. Prior to us ing them, I suffered a great deal from dull, heavy pains in my back and kid neys, this trouble having resulted from a severe cold. I was gradually growing worse when Doan's Kidney Pills were brought to my attention and being impressed with the good reports concerning them, I procured a supply. As stated above they com pletely disposed of my trouble."

The committee on streets and pub lic ways of the common council, con sisting of Councilmcn I'ox, Bel land anil Wilson, yesterday made in inspection of the Adair drain and of the proposed change in grade on Irv ing avenue at Seventh street They were accompanied by Mr. Tee, the city surveyor, and Mr. Kearney, the superintendent of streets, and, espec ially, a thorough examination was made of the Adair drain and the real sources of the trouble there. For years the drain has been a source ot con tention among the residenta whose property is directly or more remotely affected by it, and because of the con tentions it has been a difficult matter to handle when put up to the common council. That there should be a pew drainage system there has been an admitted matter for a long time, but some wanted it in one place and oth ers in another place, or perhaps un der some other plan. The committee found the whole area in the Adair drainage shed to be in very bad shape. Much water is backed up, and while no very great actual damage is being done right now, the area is in a bad mess, to use the phrase used by several of those in the party, The ground is softened by the water. Houses move. and need to be frequently braced up. Mr. Kearney wanted the commit tee to see the real sources of the trouble and first of all it was found that the drain itself is all "shot to pieces"; that the sluices and pipes are gone or are in such state as to 6 worthless. The need of a new system is apparent High up on the hill sides, and up on the hilts, are various little ponds and marshy spots, and from this wet area run various rivu lets down into the Adair drain ter ritory. The problem first of all evi dentty requires that this wet area be so drained that its waters will be con ducted speedily and surely Into the drainage system, so that they will not trickle and percolate throughout the soil, later to appear at the surface lower down and outside of the drain pipes. The question of the Chinese gardens on the hillside also enters in any solution of the problem, it is said It will be remembered that in years gone by much dissession arose as to the location of the drain, especially if it were to be made over. Some want ed it along one street, others demand ed that it be not on that street The committee yesterday apparent ly thought that Thirty-sixth was the best avenue for the drain. Those of the residents who were talked with yesterday seemed to be quite willing to stand for the expense of the construction of a new system though it is foreseen that the cost will reach into many thousands of dol lars if it be done properly. The plan of course, would be to form an as sessment district, so that the city at large would not be called upon to pay for the improvement. It is probable the committee will make a report on the whole matter, and it it said may recommend a definite plan of action The committee also made persona inspection of the proposed change of grade on Irving avenue at Seventh street. The city surveyor had let out stakes there in accordance with on petition that had been presented to the council, but other, petitioners ob iected to this grade. The stakes had been set out so that the councilmcn might readily see just what is pro posed. There was a difference of about six feet in the grades asked for the two diverse petitions, and the committee dcided to recommend that the matter be settled by setting the grade at half way between the two asked for. according to one of the committeemen. The committee did not get around to an examination of the West Com mercial street improvement or the trouble it is causing on Bond street Plenty more proof like this from Astoria people.
