THEY LOOK ALIKE.

But Not through the Bottom of a Glass. Hammond Echo: There are two men on the Republican side of the House who look enough alike to be twin brothers. They are Lewis E. McComas, of Hagerstown, Md, and William D. Owen, of Logansport, Ind. McComas is a sharp, shrewd lawyer, and Owen has been a minister of the Christian church. The former is a member of the committee on appropriations and the latter is chairman of the committee on immigration and naturalization. The District of Columbia appropriation bill passed. Me Comas drove it through the House with lightning-like speed. It is said that several Washingtonians congratulated. Mr. Owen on the ability he displayed in securing the appropriations for the District and asked him into the restaurant to have something.
