Reports of the nominating committees, appointed to choose the candidates for the executive positions in the Young Men's Business club for the year 1912. were made public this morning by the club officers. Both independent nominating bodies picked

hands of the judiciary committee of

the senate and is now being considered with a view of early action upon the subject. The bill of which Charles J. Bonaparte, the former Attorney General of the United States and Dr. Ira Kemsen, president of Johns Hopkins university are the sponsors, does not contemplate to change the religious character of the oath. The principal change which it proposes is the omission of the expression "So Help Me God".ut the t nd of an oath tni the substitution of "promise" or '"declare" for the word "swear" in the formula. Since the introduction of Senator Burton's bill the attention or the judiciary committee has been culled to the fact that several of the most progressive countries of Kurope have materially changed and modernized the ancient and antiquated forms of the oaths used in judicial proceedings. Wo country, has as yet gone quite so ifar as Switzerland, the umall but highly advanced federation which more than any other country recognizes and

his work as secretary. The election, to be held at the club rooms in the Colonial building on the evening of January second, will probably develop some competition for positions on the board of directors, as William Kelley is the only man to be recommended by both committees.

RAY MOTE REPORTS

ATTACK BY A

DOG

Young Man, However, Cannot Identify the Animal Which Bit Him.

A confirmed report of another human victim of some dog's wild rampage was received by the city health department today. Raymond Mote, living at 117 Chestnut street, was bitten

by a strange dog on Third street in front of the C. & O. depot, Friday afternoon. The dog ran away after a short tussle with the boy and young Mote today said he would be unable to describe or identify the canine. Nothing will be done to guard against Mote's contracting rabies, pending a more thorough investigation to ascertain whether the dog which bit Mote was afflicted with rabies. Dr. Hoover, veterinarian, when asked today whether the recent rabies outbreak among Chatfleld Lancaster's pet animals was connected with the present epidemic, denied the probabil-

WEST SIDE PEOPLE PRESENTMENT Tell Joint Committee Why

South E Street Is Best Site for Bridge. Outlining the arguments in favor of

locating the proposed south end bridge ' at E street, rather than at L street, as

advocated by the South Side Improvement association, representatives of the West Side Improvement association presented their side of the case to delegations from the Young Men's Business and Commercial clubs last evening in the Baxter School building. The three committees who met yesterday will now, with the south side committee, personally inspect all the sites then hold another joint meeting. Charles Moore, as chairman of the west side committee, opened the meeting with a short argument on the merits of the E street location. Dr. E. B. Grosvenor was called on as the principal speaker for the west aiders. One of the leading advantages of E street, as opposed to L street, said Dr.

can easily get over into a section now entirely unprotected against fire, in which much fire loss has already been

sustained as a result of its distance

from all hose stations. Dr. Grosvenor argued that the E street bridge would be used more than the one further

EARLY DAYS OF COACHES. When Complaint Was Made That "the World Run on Wheels." John Taylor, an English poet, known as the "water poet," who died in 1654. had this to say about the use of coaches: The superfluous use of coaches hathe been the occasion of many vile and odious crimes, as murder, theft, cheating, hangings, whippings, pillories, stocks and cages, for housekeeping never decayed till coaches came to England, till which time those were accounted the best men who had the most followers and retainers.

that of the Swiss Federation, eliminated the religious features qf the oath Altogether and changed it to a more solemn pledge. It was found. ;ifter a ilium ber of years, that the change of ,the form of oath had a tendency to weaken Its binding force and this logically led to the suggestion to abolish kthe oath in judicial proceedings altogether. Tho Cantons of Zuerich and Aargau took the radical step of entirely abolishing the oath several years ago and the result has been bo satisfactory that there Is no desire to return to the old system. When the Great Council of the Canton of Vaud at its last session considered the draft of a new Civil Code, the abolition of the oath in any form from judicial proceedings was strongly urged and, after an interesting debate, a provision abolishing the oath was incorporated in the new Code, which will go into effect on January 1, 1912.

"Not long ago I entertained an up state frieud who wished an insight iuto the extreme poverty of the city. I started out in the hope of giving her something to think about for the rest of ber natural life and succeeded beyond expectations. We h:id penetrated only a short distance Into the poverty stricken district when we saw signs in three windows in one block advertising that a general housemaid was wanted there. My frieud refused to go a step farther. " 'If that is the best you can show me in the way of poverty.' she said. 'I might as well go home. I can't afford to keep a servant myself.' "New York Sun.

Serving Soup. If anybody were asked to suggest why the soup plate was made broad and shallow the almost certain answer would be that such an arrangement facilitates the cooling of the soup to a temperature comfortable to the mouth. We believe that utilitarians drink tea out of a saucer for the same reason. While that may be the explanation of the peculiar shape of the soup plate, the advantage indicated Is surely insignificant compared with the obvious disadvantages which may probably arise from exposing so large a surface of nutrient fluid to the air. Soup should be served in a cup, a low broad teacup, and the method, which Is becoming more usual, is hygienic. Too deep a vessel would be an error on the other side. Its advantages would be canceled by its great drawback. We should miss some of the delicate flavors of the soup. London Lancet
