terday and demanded that he should be
admitted for the purpose, as he expressed
it, of preaching and making Christians
out of the inmates. Because of his Pc

police of the ninth precinct, who took
charge of him. Sanitary Officer Frank was
notified of the matter. and after making an
investigation found that Rev. Nisbet re-
sided at 127 street northeast His friends
were notified and he was placed in their
custody.
Mr.. Nisbet called at the Capitol several

DISTRICT DELEGATES
TO NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CON-
VENTION.
MI. Myron M. Parker Will Not Be a
Candidate-Some Names
Mentioned.

Although the election of delegates to the
next national republican convention is not
to take place for many months, there is
now considerable gossip in respect to the
probable selection of men to represent tie
District of Columbia in that body
Mr.. Myron NJ Parker. when seen by
Star reporter today. stated that he would
not be a candidate for the office of dele
gate.
Il VIII not be candidate for elect on as
delegate to the national republican conven-
ton said Mr.. Parker promptly. You can
make that statement very positively"
Mr. Parker is a member of the national
republican executive committee from tie
District of Columbia
Sentiment for Roosevelt.
Speaking of the way in VIII CHI the delega-
ton from the District would probably vote
In the convention. Mr. Parker said he
thought from the sentiment that is preva-
lent everywhere in the District that there
would be no doubt about the vote being for
Mr. Roosevelt for the nomination as PresI-
dent. Personally, he looked forward to
seeing Pres dent Roosevelt nominated by
acciamation without the mention Of any
other name.
Mr; Parker did not see how any action
could be taken by the people of the District
10 instruct their delegates to vote for Mr.
roosevelt, but he thought the sentiment
prevalent here would be an assurance that
thelr vote would be cast that way without
any doubt. The democrats elect their dele
gates to the national convention under the
olo method of first choosing three members
from each of the twenty-five primary pre-
cihcts INTO which the District of Columbia
mas peen divided for that purpose, and then
having these delegates vote for delegates to
the national convention. Under that meth
oo II Is very easy to have resolutions voted
on lndorsing candidate. But the repub-
mean delegates are elected by a different
method The delegates are voted for direct

number of votes being declared elected.

gates can be instructed by a vote of tha
people.
