Washington Whisperings
Interesting Bats of News Gathered
at the National Capital.
m
Women Lobbyists Are Most Unpopular
WASHINGTON.—-Lobbying is not
unadulterated joy even for a
man. But for a woman—well, a whole
calendar of saints would not bo too
many for the special protection and
consolation of the woman who goes to
Washington with an ax to grind.
There are really three lobbies at the
house end of the capitol. One has for
its habitat a luxurious suite of rooms,
with soft carpets, beautiful paintings,
big leather chairs, tine tables.
In spite of the sunshine which the
high windows let in there are discreet
corners where a man can present his
case in comfort and confidence. A
man, yes; but not a woman. Not all
men either, for that matter.
A good share of the men who are
seeing congressmen have to do their
lobbying, such as it is, in the rorridor
near the main entrance to the house.
It's a mixed lot of humanity that gath-
ers there, eagerly or sadly waiting for
a response to the cards that have been
sent in.
The lame, the halt and the blind are
there; the out-at-elbows, the dis-
couraged, an occasional crank, an oc-
casional shifty-eyed individual whose
ax. if he gets it ground, will not be
swung in any particularly pious pro-
ject. In the corners and the window
embrasures low-toned conversations
are going on between members and
outsiders.
Some of the latter get a date for a
visit to the member's office. Others
get a shake of the head.
The women are still further away.
Their lobby is a corner of Statuary
hall.
The marble columns partly shut it
away from the main hall, and there
are chairs and a table where the wom-
en write their pathetic, apologetic
notes. Many of them are in mourn-
ing; their eyes are frightened and ap-
pealing. Others are plainly pests; the
kind that are always getting some-
thing and always wanting something
more.
It's not always clear to a congress-
man which he hates worse to see. the
penniless woman who Is absolutely in-
competent to do anything much ex-
cept starve, or the woman who Is al-
ways nagging him for another Job.
The first one makes him sorry for
her. The second makes him sorry for
himself. Both sensations are uncom-
fortable, and the consequence is that
he very often tries to shirk the whole
experience by not going out at all in
response to these cards and notes.
As a capitol employe said: "Say,
that corner over there makes me have
the blues to beat the band. Them wom-
en in their black dresses, waitin' an'
waitln' for a congressman that's prob-
ably hidin' in a cloakroom for the spe-
cial purpose of dodgin' an interview
with 'em, would drive a married man
to drink or to the life insurance com-
pany."
The Postmaster General and His Name
Tile postmaster general's name is
George von Lengerke Meyer. It
would be supposed that most Amer-
icans, especially those having business
with this particular cabinet officer,
would be able to get the name right.
But they aren't. Any number of
Americans can't pronounce the presi-
dent's name, but It is not a matter of
precision of pronunciation in connec-
tion with that of Mr. Meyer. The
"von" fascinates the throng. They
can't get away from it.
They know that a German with a
"von" before his last name Is noble,
and this proposition looms largo in
their conceptions of the postmaster
general. "George v. L. Meyer," "G. v. i
L. Meyer" and "George von L. Meyer"
are the various ways the official's
name appears on departmental papers, j
and that should be sufficient to secure !
accuracy in address and speech. But j
It isn't. The "L." or "Lengerke" are
half the time Ignored, and the magic j
preposition "von" prefixed directly to,
the family name, so that the pflstmns j
ter general often receives letters ad- j
dressed to "George von Meyer," "Post-
master General von Meyer" or—a par-
ticular detestation -"Gen. von Meyer,"
which has a field-marshally sound,
suggesting clanking sabers and a
charge to the death. Letters so ad-
dressed come from persons who
should know better—officials and oth-
ers close to the public affairs of the
nation.
It Is by no means infrequent for
callers at the postofflce department to
ask with a flourish: "Is Mr. von Mey-
er In?"
A magazine which pretends to na-
tional importance and is always filled
with accounts of Washington affairs
recently printed a full-page picture of
the postmaster general and labeled It
in large type "Postmaster General von
Meyer." And the magazine is pub-
lished In Boston, whence Mr. Meyer
hails. A card in one of the elevators
of the postofflce department was
brought up to date by one of the em-
ployes, who, when the cabinet change
came, crossed out the name of Mr.
Cortelyou and substituted "von Mey-
er." The card hung undisturbed for
months and may b - there yet. It Is
interesting to wonder how this error
arose and why it persists. There Is
apparently no good reason for it ex-
cept carelessness in observation or a
habit of grandiloquence. But the
postmaster general is evidently
doomed to remain "von Meyer" to a
large number of Americans, since a
remedy seems to be lacking.

ACCORDING to Uncle Joe Cann
his one great consuming ambi-'
tion is not to bo president of the
United States, but to have a grand
funeral at public expense—not yet a
while, of "ourse. He confided his am-
bition to a few congressional friends
on the occasion of a recent dinner.
He took it up sectlonally. He went j
back to the first term he served in
congress and how he felt particularly I
glum one day. Hale of Maine, then in !
the house, read his thought.
"Cannon," said Hale, "you're think-'
ing about resigning right now or re- j
tiring as soon as your term expires. |
But you won't. Pretty soon you'll set >
word that some fellow out your way is
a candidate for your job and then you'll
get mad and insist on keeping it for j
yourself."

THERE was great excitement
Washington when it was reported j
the other day that Pete, the bulldog, j
had returned.
Pete was the pet who almost started
war between the l.'nlted States and
the rest of the world by tearing the j
trousers of diplomats. At one time he ;
had the I nited States army on the
run In the person of the secretary of j
war.
Pete disappeared some time ago, j
and diplomats, cabinet members and ,
si*na <>rs, knowing how much the
president thought of him, called at
the White House to offer condolences,
coming out all smiles.
Then came the report that Pete had
reappeared. Only strangers entered
the White House grounds after this re-
port became current. The president
himself was one of the most inter-
ested. He said if Pete had returned
it was a twentieth century miracle.
So he Investigated.
The investigation developed that
Thomas R. Stone, veteran usher at the
White House, had a brlndle bulldog,
which be lias named Pete in honor uf
URGES LEGISLATORS TO EXPE-
DITE WORK
Recommends Immediate Action On
Oil Pipe Lines—Territorial Law
Furnishing Statutes to Couunties
Characterized as Graft
GUTHRIE: In a special message
submitted Monday to the legislature,
Governor Haskell commends the law-
makers for their progress and urges
them to expedite other business re-
maining on the calendar.
He prefaces his recommendations
for laws by the statement that the
work of the assembly has elicited
his sincere appreciation. He scores
the partisan attacks that have been
directed toward the legislature and
predicts universal public recognition
of the meritorious legislation enacted.
The message calls attention to the
"foolish expense" incorporated in the
present habeas corpus laws, that of
paying sheriff's fees In certain cases.
The governor recommends the repeal
of the law.
The laws inherited from tile terri-
tory of Oklahoma regarding taxation
are unjust, the message states, and
should bo repealed. Education Is
touched upon with especial reference
to the schools in rural communities.
Bond issues are recommended and the
addition of branches of agriculture
and horticulture.
Urging the adoption of a law pro-
tecting game the governor suggests
that it be "not so stringent as to in-
terfere with the just rights of the
public. '
On the matter of eminent domain
the message emphasizes the import-
ance of oil pipe lines, referring to
them as "immediate necessities," ami
urges the adoption of laws on the sub-
ject without hindrance.
The territorial law providing for
furnishing f.u sets of siuu statutes to
counties at an average cost of $1,000
a county, is characterized as being a
"pure graft." Its repeal is urged.
Referring to public institutions, the
question that jiut now is all-absorb-
ing, the message recommends the eB
tablishment of institutions tor the in-
sane. deaf, dumb and blind. A par-
don hoard is asked.
The law concerning official deputies
should be amended to provide that
only in cases where officials are over-
worked should they be allowed assist-
ants.
Careful consideration of the bill
relating to probate deputies is urged.
Public funds should not be deposit-
ed through favoritism and a law cov-
ering that subject is endorsed. A stat-
ute requiring district clerks to sub-
mit to the clerk of the state supreme
court a document showing the condi-
tion of the docket and providing an
appropriation of $2,500 for traveling
expenses of district Judges outside
their own districts is recommended.
The corporation fee of $1< , required
by the territorial law "may not have
been intended as a joke.'' says the
message, but that is Its effect. A law
providing that corporation fees shall
he r< gulati d by the capitalization is
asked.
The governor recommends the Itni-
ljey bill providing for a court of crim-
that a bill relating t i the election of
ends mat th
Why Uncle Joe Cannon Clings to Mis Job
That's what happened. Uncle Joe's
ambition for congressional honors re-
vived and he returned to the house.
After he had served a few terms and
was just about ready to throw the
pesky job over, some one out his way
announced that as a congressman
"Uncle Joe" had been a failure and
that some one else ought to be nomi-
nated. That quickened his pulses
once more and again ho sought the
nomination and election which hut for
interfere ice he might have spurned.
Thus It went, until his influence in the
house began to wax until important
chairmanships came his way, until the
speakership was in sight.
"And now," concluded the speaker,
"my highest ambition Is to be a mem-
ber of the house as long as I live, to
die during a session of congress, and
to be buried at the public expense with
all you fellows at the funeral discus-
sing, with bated breath, the question
of my successor."'
Not a word, not a single word, dur-
ing the entire dinner, about that other
high ambition which is ascribed to
him as a favorite son of Illinois.

There Is a so-called "smooth-shaven"
millionaire in New York who never
used a razor on his face. Twenty-
five years ago he was a monomaniac
on the subject of saving time, and
among other short cuts to fortune
made up his mind to cut out shaving,
a matter of 15 cents a day and about
20 minutes of precious time, if tho
barber made good. After a trial of
various cosmetics and depilatories he
decided that electrolysis was a far
better, though a very tedious, process.
In five months the root of every hair
in both beard and mustache was ut-
terly de. troyed by an electric current
from a constant battery. Tho man
suffered considerably, but ever since
the operation his face has been as
smooth as a bald head. No power
on earth could restore his beard uow.

TELEPHONE INVESTIGATION.
Corporation Commission Learna
Workings of Companies.
GUTHRIE: The investigation of
t1:e t< lephone and telegraph lines of
Oklahoma by the corporation com-
mission reveals one fact that shows
the telephone companies, at least, are
Imbued with the same spirit that has
made Oklahoma remarkable through-
ouft the entire country that of ac-
complishing what would seem to ordi-
nary mortals almost impossible. The
investigation shows that the new state
is not excelled by any of the older
states in equipment and efficiency of
service, and in most respects excels
the older commonwealths.
The Pioneer Telephone and Tele-
graph company, which is 'die largest
in the state, Is receiving the greater
share of attention, both by the com-
mission and the press of the state.
In a recent hearing before the cor-
poration commission the company
made a complete showing of their
business. This was largely voluntary
on their part, and the frank and «e,.en
manner in which they gave a!', the
assistance and light the> could on
the subject made a favorable impres-
sion on the commission and public
generally.
In the annual report recently made
public, President Nims shows t hfeit
at the close of business December
.'{1st, 19ti7, 'the aggregate assets were
$1,249,025.."7, of which >7
represent the actual value of toll lines
and exchanges throughout the state.
The gross receipts for the year, 1H07,
were $1,125,388.30, against which
there was a gross expenditure of
$935,96$.37, leaving a revenue balance
of $189,419.93, or a profit of nearly
7 1-2 per cent on the investment. Of
this the stockholders received six per
cent in dividends and the balance was
retained tor reserve fund. This show-
ing was a revelation both to the com-
mission and the people, as it was
generally believed that the telephone
companies were making large profits.
From the statement of the Pioneer
company, aside from the fact that the
investment is considered safe, tlie
stockholders are only receiving what
they consider a small return for their
money, and they contend that they
must earn as much as ten per cent in
order to secure the money necessary
to make 'the extensions that the de-
velopment of the territory is demand
ing.
The result of the j resent investiga-
tion is anxiously awaited by the com-
pany as many contemplated improve-
ments and extensions will depend on
the finding of the commission. One
of the officers in a recent interview
said lie feared nothing from the in-
vestigation, and the rules adopted
would be a basis upon which future
business would be onduotbd.
A Barbaric Execution.
Writing from Teheran. ;i corre-
spondent says in the Berliner Tago-
blatt": "Public executions were once
of frequent occurrence here, but no
decapitation has taken place since
the new shah came to the throne un-
til today, when two highway robbers
were executed. It was a dreadful
spectacle. The men, with hands and
i feet in chains, were dragged to the
execution place, where a burly fel-
low, wearing a dlrtv red blouse,
awaited them They moaned and
wept and he grinned. The men were
forced to the ground into that half
kneeling, half sitting position which
conies as naturally to the Persian as
it is difficult for all other . The
chains were pulled so tightly that the
fellows could n >: mov an inch. Then
a sharp knife across tin- en.;.;. .
throat. And then came the second
man. That the men were quickly
friends of the condemned men. Whoil
no tips are given and when th< do
not come up to his expectations the
ten long drawn out. One o;' the ilrsi
duties of the national assembly will
be to put an end to that kind of bar-
barism."
