Aug. i-A rhntce selec- 1 tlon of committee assignments Is to be handed out by Speaker Cannon this week. Faithful service and fidelity to the speaker! and tha republican "regulars" probably will j be rewarded before the special session ad- Journs. It Is not likely that there will be , anv time for speeches as to the mo-its of' the speakers assignments, but this docs not Indlcste thst the members of the house are not personally more lntrtH in "I'ncle Joes" program than thev have been In the tariff. j n iiuiiiurr in regulars will or necessity be considerably grieved over the appoint ments, as there Is a relatively small limit to the number of chairmanships to be dealt out by the speaker. Representative Charles N. Fowler of New Jersey, chairman of the committee on banking and currency, during the last con press Incurred the displeasure of Mr. Can non by "Insurglng" early In the season, and a little later added to his displeasure by actually coming out as a candidate for speaker against Vncle Joe It Is therefore, in the nature of things congressional, that a new chairman will be named. It Is no secret about the house and Representative Vreeland of New York Is the speakers choice. Mr. Vreelaod was not even a member of the hanking and currency committee during the last session, and his appointment will therefore open the way for the speaker to niake other appointments where the mem ber named for chairman has not served on the committee of which he will become the head.

Mann for Hepharn'e Place. This situation applies especially to the In terstate and foreign commerce committee of which 'Colonel Pete" Hepburn was chairman for a number of years. Vice President Sherman was next In rank to Hepburn, but his promotion to president of tne senate leaves Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania as the ranking member. Representative Mann of Illinois, one of the stalwarts" of the house, however, ranks next to Mr. Wanger and has been a most active member of the commerce committee and he Is said to be the choice of the speaker for chairman. That the speaker has decided to give Mann the place, seems to be indicated by the number of special favors showered on Wanger durfhg the special session. The speaker has on sev eral occasions turned the gavel over to the Pennsylvanlan and he has been recognized In other ways calculated to show the speaker's good will. Should the speaker see fit he may apply the same program to the committee on postoffices and poatrosds and the Judiciary committee, both of which will be very ac tive during the next session. Conservative members of the majority, however, contend that the speaker cannot afford at this time to create farther enmity by Ignoring ranking members of commit tees In selecting the efialrmen. It Is said therefore, that Representatives Gardner and Parker will, get the postoffice and Judiciary committees respectively. An entirely different status governs the apoplntment of a chairman for the Insular affairs committee. Representative Cooper of Wisconsin, who was chairman of this committee In the last congress. Is still s member of the house, but he was one of those who voted sgalnst the "Cannon rules" and Is therefore scheduled to lose his place. It Is generally conceded that Representative Olmsted of Pennsylvania will supersede him. When Theodore E. Burton was elected t'nlted Statea senator from Ohio the chair manship of the committee on rivers and harbors waa left vacant. Representative Acheson of Pennsylvania, who was the next In rank on the committee, has retired from congress, leaving Representative Alexander of New Tork as the man who would ordi narily get the berth of chairman. It is said Mr. Alexander could have the chair manship of the Judiciary committee If he desired it. but he Is understood to covet and probably will secure the vacancy left by Senator Burton. riERRE.

He had a little trouble with Conrad Kreuger over hay land, but an in vestigation on the part of the authorities led them to believe that Kreuger not only knew nothing of the damage, but had him self suffered.
