Cannon la hot Talking.
Joseph G. Cannon, the taciturn, aa he haa
to be regarded aince he la the only
onndtrinte for the speakership, has been
the subject of much inquiry from Wash
lngton correspondents aa to what he will
do with committeeships when he is elected
speaker of the national house of represen-
tatlvea. But foxy Mr. Cannon haa yet to
rlv any direct intimation aa to what hla
course will be relative io me cnairmansnips

sought on all aldea by membera of congress
for recognition on important committees.
It is confidently believed that In the laat
three months Mr. cannon has received a
letter from aimoat every memner or the
Ftftv-elghth congress setting forth what the
member would Ilk. to hav. in th. way of
committee places. Cannon a closest friends

For Support of Roosevelt.
In the case of Mr. Cannon It Is expected
by those who know him best that he will
to a considerable extent. Ignore tne present
atmrilna of membera on committees. He
will look for men on whom dependency, can
be placed in the carrying o-.-t of ri.Ilcles

palgn of 1904. In the makeup of the ap
propriations committee Mr. Cannon will use
his beet Judgment and It la confidently x-
perted some men will be advanced who now
hold seats far down the table.
In view of the Investigations now going
on In the Postofflce department, a general
shakeup In the postofflre and postronds
committee Is confidently expected. Who the
chairman will be Is at this time a niHtter
of pure conjecture.
In view of the Investigation as to th
seed contract, which Secretary Wilson of
tho Department of Agriculture has asked
for, tho committee on agriculture will un
doubtedly see some' new men therein, al
though It seems safe to predict that the
chairman of this committee In the fifty
seventh congress, Mr. James W. Wads-
worth of New York, will be reappointed,
but there aro enough men going off that
committee to virtually make It in Its per
sonnet an entirely new committee.
As to the committee on ways and means,
there will bo probably few changes, many
of the old members having been re-elected
to the fifty-eighth congress.. It Is not ex
pected that anything more than speculation
of a very general character can be indulged
In by those who are anxious to know the
makeup of house committees until after Mr.
Cannon Is actually elected speaker and
takes up the reins of office. Before that
time, if Mr. Cannon haa any program
mapped out, he is not likely to confide It to
anyone.

Bi-0entenn;al of B.rth of John Wesley
Observed at Four Serric s
GOVERNOR MICKEY ATTENDS AND SPEAKS
Tells la Detail of the K.arly l ife aad
Struggles and the Great Work
of the Founder of Meth
odism. The bl-centehnlal anniversary of John
Wesley, the founder of Methodism, was ap
propriately observed in South Omaha yes
terday.
Four well attended services were held at
the First Methodist Episcopal church,
Twenty-third and N streets, and each was
attended by Hon. J. II. Mickey, governor
of Nebraska. At the forenoon service Gov
ernor Mickey conducted the Bible class and
delivered a short address on the toptc of
the dny, "John Wesley."
At 11 o'clock the usual services were held
In the church. Every seat waa occupied
and chairs filled the aisles. In place of the
regular aermon Governor Mickey read an
address, dwelling particularly on the life
Of Wesley. The governor was extremely
hoarse, but this did not detract from the
attention the large congregation paid to
his remarks.
In commencing Governor Mickey said his
text was John Wesley and his theme the
same. "Epworth," said the governor, "is
renowned aa the birthplace of John Wesley.
The world has seen many great men whose
birthplace has been forgotten, but In this
case, where greatness and good were united
the people will not forget the man nor his
birthplace."
The speaker then went on to describe the
Wesley family and the stir caused by the
birth of John. Considerable time was
taken by the speaker in reading accounts
of the life and struggles of Samuel, tho
father,' and Susanna, the mother, of the
jounner or tne Metnonist cnurcn. ine
character of both parents was described In
detail. "John," said the speaker, "came
rightly by his religious training aa his
grandfather and father were noted in their
time aa great expounders of the Christian
religion. In fact, they were known as he
roic ministers, and also aa dissenters. The
latter for the reaaon that they dissented
from whnt they considered wrong and
sturdily stood for what they deemed right."
As an Illustration of what character and
will can do, the governor called attention
to the fact that Samuel, father of John,
waa left alone In the world at the age of
IS yenrl and thus being thrown upon his
own resources became a servant to some
students at Oxford for the purpose of se
curing means to secure an education; The
object of bringing in this point was to show
to young men that the poorest boy may
secure a college education if he has tno
resolution and will power to stick to it.
"Getting back to John Wesley, the speaker
asserted that Wesley at the age of t
learned tho alphabet In six hours, and then
hia mother set him to spelling out words
and sentences In the Bible. The patience
of the mother, said Governor Mickey, was
rewarded when she saw her honored son
Working wonders In the Christian world.
Mention was made of the narrow escape
young Wesley had when he was years of
age, and then hia school life waa gone Into
at aome length. Diverging at this point' the
governor called the attention of the busi
ness men In the congregation to the neces
sity for putting uslde 'ctislness ..ares, espe
cially on feinday, and devoting a certain
amount of lime to worshiping God.
In hla concluding remarks the iov,-nor
spoke of the organisation of the sect k;.own
aa Methodists with Wesley aa their leader,
and of tha fact that in 200 years the church
founded by Wesley gained a membership of
28,000,000 psrsons. Before closing the speaker
called attention to the .fact that all over
th world today Methodists were holding
special services In honor of the bl-centen-nlal
anniversary of John Wesley.
In th afternoon at 4 o'clock Governor
Mickey delivered an address to men only
at the Methodist church. This meeting
waa under the auspices of the local Young
Men'a Christian association. The talk was
on the aame subject aa the mdrnlng ad
dress. Governor Mickey attended the even
ing services at the Methodist church and
spoke briefly.
While in the city GoverMr Mickey waa
entertained by F. A. Cressey, Jay Laverty,
David Anderson and W. B. Vansant.
Still Investigating Murder.
Chief Brlggs is still engaged In Investi
gating the killing of Thomaa Leablnts. A
number of people have made the statement
that Ullch waa the one who etruck the
blow which cauaed death. Ullch has
frlenda who deny thla. The autopsy shows
that death waa caused by a blow on the
back, of the head. Last night Chief Briggs
said that he did not propose to arrest V'l
ich until after the coroner'a inquest had
been held. He asserted that Ullch waa a
man of property and was not liable to run
away.
Councilman Mike Smith call attention
to the fact that at the time the license
waa granted to Ullch It waa don ao over
hia protest, aa he declared to the license
committee that Ullch was not a fit person
to be placed in charge of a saloon. Further,
Councilman Smith claims that a number of
resldenta In the vicinity of Twenty-seventh
and Y atreets remonstrated against the
granting of a license to Ullch, but the
protest waa overruled and the license
granted.
Coroner Bralley will hold an Inquest over
the remain! at 9 a. m. Tuesday.
Canvass Votes Tonight.
Bith the city council and the board of
education will meet tonight and the votea
cast at the bond election will b can
vassed.
Aside from going over the vote ther Is
little on the surface for the council to
do, but It is expected that Laverty will
endeavor to pass a resolution through tha
school board ordering some new books.
Soma of the members of the board go ao
far aa t aay the booka are not really
needed at thla time, aa the worn -.out booka
can be changed for new ones without sny
expense to speak of. This question of new
books Is liable to cause quite a discus
slon.

Warehouse.
The ground on which Is lo stand the
Hoe be & Runyan Furniture company's tiew
warehouse nt Ninth and Dodge streeta Is
now being cleared of the small frame and
brick buildings wlUi which It Is encumb
ered, and as soon as this work is finished
the contracts for construction will be let.
Five or six of the smaller frame buildings
have been moved awn)', but th brick build
ings facing on Ninth street yet remain and
will have to be pulled down. The property
belonged to the Joseph Barker estate nnd
by the terms of purchase was to be deliv
ered to the new owners free from build
ings. The money In exchange for the loca
tion has been for some time on deposit In
ne of the banks, waiting the completlor
f the work of destruction. This haa been
delayed, it Is said, by one of the tenants,
who wishes to retain his present location.
Mr. Runyan of the firm appeared before
he city council February 17 asking for the
right-of-way for spur tracks on Dodge
trect nnd In the alley between Dodge and
Douglas streets. This was granted readily,
as the street and alley are of little use.
The tracks will be from the Northwestern
system and because of the grade will le
unk below the surface of the street and
alley. Thla arrangement of trackage at
both front and back Is a great advantage to
the builders.
It Is Impossible to say when the building
can be completed because the date of be
ginning Is uncertain and also because of
th labor difficulties, but work will be be
gun as soon as possible. The building Is
to be eight stories high and 130 feet by 190,
and built of pressed brick. Th architect

OLICE MAY NOT WANT PRYOR
t'nable to Identify Hint as Ono of
th Lo Anaeles Hotel
Thieves.
After having a talk with John Pryor. ar
rested Saturday night on suspicion of being
conntcted with the Molrose hotel robbery
at Lob Angeles, Chief of Police Donahue

ever, the man will be held pending a more
thorough Investigation.
Yesterday morning the pellce had Pryor

Pryor.
Pryor came to Omaha Friday night and
before tho train came to a standstill he
umped pff. Thla attracted the attention of

given to the detectives. The description In
most every way answers to that of one of
the Melrose hotel robbers. To the police he

to be connected was -the theft of nElnoo
worth of diamonds belonging to Mrs. I. D.
