WASHINGTON. April Is-No political con-
test Of the year has aroused such interest
In Washington as the controversy now
going on among members Of the American
National Red Cross Perhaps the circum-
stance that the leading factors in the quar-
rel are women adds to it's bitterness. but,
however that may be. all classes OF WASH
ington society are mixed up In the contro-
versy, and while no question OF party poll
tics 10 involved, Congress, the Administra-
ton. army and navy officers and distin-
guished civilians are in one way or another
concerned In it.
The attempt TO retire Clara Barton as
active head OF the organization Of which
she has been the life and spirit for many
years began with the memorial sent to
Congress last winter complaining about
the action OF the executive committee OF
the Red Cross and the names OF more men
than women were signed to IL. But the
controversy has become a woman's fight.
chiefly by reason OF the fact that the per-
son who suddenly brought the discussion
10 an acute point is Miss Mabel T. Board

Boardman. wealthy retired manufacturer
of agricultural implements. Miss Board
liam Walter Phelps
Miss Boardman has shown herself to be
Q clever letter writer and a good fighter,
and at the first fire she aroused Mrs. John A.
Logan. who responded with a lively CON-
munication. Miss Boardmin rejoined in
kind, and now the fight IL on In earnest and
evidently destined to be fought to finish
The question at issue Ii whether Cara
Barton shall continue as president Of the
Red Cross, with power to appoint an exc
cutive committee and control the operations
Of the organization. or whether II shall
pass out Of her hands into those OF the
members who have appealed to Congress
TO comp,l her to retire.
Some members OF the Red Cross have
felt dissatisfaction with the management
for several years. and once or twice charges
have been made against the financial
ability and honesty Of some OF those who
handled Red Cross funds under Miss Bar
tons direction. but not until now has an
Intelligent. concerted effort been made TO
vat the control OF the organization into
other hands than those OF Miss Barton
and her ieutenants.
The present fight began on Jan. 20 OF
the present year, when q memorial signed
by Gen John N. Wilson. former Chief Of
Engineers, Y. S. A., first vce-president
Of the American National Red Cross, and
twenty-five other members Of the execu-
tive committee for the year ending Dec.
o, 1907. was transmitted to the Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives. pro-

and happy. for, despite her physical
condition, she retained her youthful spirits
and was even gay when surrounded by
