Day's News
By FRANK JKNKIXS
wp YOU have been following closely
1 the news about Mayor Jimmy
Walker, ot New York, of late, you
must have noted tfiat he haa a lot
ol thoughtful and accommodating
friends. ,
One of these friends taKea him In
on a atock-trading deal, In which
Jimmy puts up no money, but from
which he later takes a profit of
around a quarter of a million dollars.
Another, without saying anything
to him about it, lets him in on an oil
stock pool and lo and behold one
fine morning the genial mayor wakes
up and discovers that he Is some 26,
000 richer because of this kindly
deed.
Chicken feed, of course, this lat
ter deal. But even chicken feed
cornea In handy at tlmea.
YOU wonder about sucn tningo
Well, they aic being done even
In Tammany circles. They have been
done for a long time.
They will continue to be done as
long as the people of New York show
their approval by electing Tammany
candidates.
WHY Is so much fuss being made
about' It, right now?
The answer la quite simple. It is
desired to put Governor Roosevelt on
th spot, which, It la hoped, will be
accomplished In this manner:
If he takes the bull by the horns
,n throws Mayor Walker out. he
will thereby Incur the powerful en--
mity ot Tammany, which may lose
him the Democratic nomination tor
President. If, on the other .hand, he
DOESN'T throw the mayor out he
will brand himself a a henohman
of Tammany, which will put him In
a bad light before the delegates from
the rest of the country.
JOHN KELLY, Washington corres
pondent of the Portland Oregon
Ian, tells us It waa Hawley who saved
the lumber duty in the revenue bill. It
happened, according to Kelly, like
thla:
The revenue bill, with the lumber
duty on It, passed both houses of
congress and went to conference. The
conference committee wanted to
throw the duty on lumber out, but
Hawley, because of long time friend
ship with other members of the com
mittee, was able to pull over enough
of them to save It.
Aeain Oreson profited by having a
big man on the Job at the right time
in spite of the fact that this big
man had Just been defeated for re-
nomlnatlon.
YOU may askT"What la a confer
ence committee, and what Is Its
Job?"
It works this way: Legislation must
nnsa both houses of congress. The
house that passes It last usually
makes some changes. These changea
must be harmonized and made agree
able to the other house.
So tie bill Is submitted to a con
ference committee composed of mem
bers of both houses and they Iron
out whatever differences may eilst
and come to an agreement.
That Is what Is meant when you
read In the newspapers that a bill
haa passed both houses of congress
and then has been sent to conference
before going to the President for his
signature.

that Hausner may have landed and
