Crumpacker for Ways and Means Committee.

The following telegram from Washington, D. C., was. published in the Indianapolis News Friday: After March 4, Indiana will cease to exert influnece in the national House of Representatives. In the reorganization of the body, Representative Crumpacker, of the Tenth district, will be the only member f. om the state who Mill be entitled to a committee chairmanship. He is now at the head of fh'e committee on census, and it is assumed that he will be continued in that position, which takes on added importance as the date for taking the census approaches. By the shakeup the State loses the chairmanship of the committee on postorfices and post roads 'held by Mr. Overstreet, and the chairmanship of the committee on printing, ljeld by Mr. Landis. If Cannon Is elected Speaker, It is altogether likely that he wi;f add Mr. Crumpaclcer to the committee op ways and means and thus give tie' State a part in the work of revising the tariff next spring. U After March 4, Senator Beveridge will have the distribution of aft the Federal patronage in Indft na wif i t e exception of the presidential postmasters in the Sixth and Tilth districts. Among the places which tl e new President is to fill on the recommendation of the one Republican Senator from the State are United S ates district attorney, United States marshal, collectors of internal revenue for the two districts, collector of customs and United States p nsi n agent. The office of United States attorney will be vacant soon after the new Presidnet comes into office if not before that time, and the terms of the other Federal offires in the State expire at intervals during the next two years.
