D4DY IN H4RNESS AGAIN
Becomes Member of the County
General Committee.

In view of the fact that Lieutenant Governor
Woodruff has just taken the presidency OF the
Smith Premier Typewriter Company and is
likely to be less active i'll political affairs IN
Brooklyn for some time. it is significant that
last night Michael J. Dady let out his motheaten
political toga that he cast aside some time ago,
and again became member of the Kings Coun-
ty Republican General Committee. Mr.. Dady
was elected as delegate from the Ist Assembly
District to succeed Ernst jain.
Mr. Dady took right hold at the regular meet
ing of the committee last night, and dominated
things in much the same way that he used TO
do. He offered the only resolution or the even
ing and pushed Il through to adoption. IL was
a request to Senator Raines SO to amend his
Civil Service bill, now before the legislature.
that a public official may have the option OF
selecting for appointment from any place
on the eligible list
Dady retired" from politics year ago by re-
signing as executive member of the County
Committee from the Ist District, after great
pressure had been brought to bear upon him to
do so. The independents declared that he exer-
csed a baleful influence upon the organization.
They refused to work with il unless Dady
should retire. Colonel Willis l.. Ogden
pected to succeed him, but resigned, and the ex-
ecutve members from the district have since
been Dady's leutenants.

FEW GERMAN OBSTACLES.
The Question of First Glass of Claims Un-
likely to Cause Delay.

Berlin, Feb. 10.-The officials of the Foreign
Office here deny that any insuperable obstacles
to the signing of the German protocol at Wash
ington exist They add that comparatively
unilnportant question of detail has been re-
ferred to Berlin, but that the signing will occur
in a few days. First Great Britain's protocol
viii be signed and then the protocols of Ger
many and Italy.
London, Feb 10.-The officials of the German
Embassy here say that difficulties re-
garding the Venezuelan settlement have arisen,
so far as Germany is concerned They add that
what is un Ter discussion consists solely OF
the German and Italian contentious regarding
The claims admitted by Venezuela prior to the
present disturbance to be valid, and which it is
contended it would be absurd to submit to The
Hague Court of Arbitration. From the begin
ming OF the negotiations Germany refused to
arbitrate thes2 first claims, and their inclusion
in the protocol created d discussion, which the
embassy officials do not consider to be q bar to
settlement, though it causes delay. Germany
and Italy are fully satisfied with the cash
guarantee, and are Stpulating nothing re-
moteIy connected with the Monroe Doctrine.
Great Britain's first claims apparently not
similar to those OF Germany and Italy, but those
two countries have the approval of the British
Government in their present attitude.
Some uneasiness exists regarding Mr.. BoWens
powers to bind the government of Venezuela.
The allies have consulted the State Department
at Washington this subject, but no answer
has yet been received.
