Black for Chairman.

Rumor has it that the Hon. Frank S.
Black, ex-governor of New York. has
been tentatively agreed upon by the Re-
publican national leaders for the tempo
rary Craftsmanship of the Republican
convention. which is to meet in Chi
cago on June y. The selection of Mr..
Black for this honor. IL is considered. Is
a wise political move. He has not been
distinguished for his enthusiasm for
Roosevelt heretofore. but like great
many other prominent Republicans. has
fallen into line for the President. now
mat rs nomination seems inevitable.
The selection OF Mr. Black, IL is said. is
calculated to have a tendency toward
solidifying the Republicans of New
York for the President.

Mr.. Payn travelling about the cOun-

Claim For Destruction of

Heroic Action Of Army Officer Neglected
Three Years by the Govern
ment and Congress.

Corps OF Engineers. L. s A, stationed
at Washington Barracks, for 81 ,I42. 20
the value of personal effects destroyed
by a fire in 1901 in his quarters at Fort
Hancock. n. J., has been approved by
the Senate bill has been passed au-
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasury
to pay the claim.
Captain McIndoe is one Of the best
known officers I'm the Engineer Corps of
the army. He lost his personal effects
In the Port Hancock fire because OF Civ
ing his whole attention TO saving gov
eminent property and disregardinR his
own A coincidence in connection with
the passage Of the relief bill Is that the
fire occurred exactly three years ago
today. February -.
Officers Interested
Army officers in washington, though
averse TO making comment publicly, hs<s
regarded the McIndoe case with great
interest because of the delay in paying
the claim There has been no dispute
as to the facts in the case. or Of the
sacrifice made by the officer to save gov
eminent property In danger of destruc-
ton. But the claim was disaliowed by
the Auditor for the War Department on
the ground that the loss OF Captain Nc
Indoe's personal property was not
caused by an exigency of the military
service.
The Senate passed the bill in the first
session of the Fifty-seventh Congress,
but IL failed OF action IN the House In
the present session a favorable report
was again made on the bill, and now the
matter viii be considered by the Hous
once more. According to the Senate re-
port just made. Captain McIndoe ordered
the men Of his command to devote their
lattentfon &c protecting nearby govern
ment buildings, in which valuable sup
! plies were stored. and which were threat
ened by high wind carrying sparks and
ernbers
Senator Platt's Views
! In commenting on the bill, Senator
Plat OF Connecticut said:
"The report shows this case peculiar
in this respect, that the officer in charge
devoted his attention TO saving public
buildings and neglected his own prop
(, erfy. which he might have saved IL he
had not devoted his attention to govern
ment property
In view OF these facts, it is expected
the bill will pass the House. In the
/ opinion OF several Senators. h Is not a
wise or a patriotic plan TO refuse reim-
turse ment to any government servant

public interest Captain Mcfndoe's three

to Be Further Aired.
ARGUMENTS TO BE MADE
National Subcommittee to Meet for
Further Consideration of
the Case
ARGUMENTS TO BE MADE

The subcommittee OF the Democratic
National Committee appointed TO
determine the controversy among the
District Democrats over the matter of
a national committeeman for the Dis
trict. will meet at the Shoreham on
Tuesday to consider the case further,
receive the briefs and affidavits which
are ready to be submitted. and hear
argument. Directly after the meeting
of the national committee here last
month the subcommittee met and began
consideration Of the case
At that time the regular local organi-
cation. headed by James l.. Norris. who
is the candidate Of the regulars for the
position. ana who has been Endorsed by
the Democratic Central Committee. and
the six regular delegates To the Kansas
City convention. was heard at some
length and submitted a brief Charles
W. Slater. who represents the anti
Norris Democrats, asked for two or
three weeks in which to prepare his
case and procure ahidavits. This re-
quest was granted. and the local Dem
ocracy has since been waiting for an
other meeting Of the subcommittee.
Slater Is Ready.
Mr.. Slater has procured his affidavits
and prepared his brief for submission.
II is understood the regulars viii meet
these with counter affidavits and an adj
ditional brief. The matter is in the
hands of Senator Blackburn. who at
the former hearings represented Mr..
Norris, and presented his claims 10
membership upon the national commit
tee. Upon the determination of the is
sue depends not only the position OF
national committeeman for the District.
but also the matter Of holding primaries
for the election Of delegates TIA a city
convention. which will in turn choose
six delegates and six alternates to rep
