10 Get on Committees.
BY r. NJ. Larner.


Washington. d. c., Dec. 9.-There
is CONSERVATION among federal officials
who are members of state committees
over an order issued to-day by Post
master General Wynne, at the in
stance of the President. Now that the
elections are over and pernicious ac-
tivity is practically over the President
announces that he is opposed to fed
eral officeholders retaining political
positions on state and other commit
tees and remaining active in partisan
politics
The issue was made on postmasters
in Virginia at Fredericksburg, Peters
burg and two other places. They were
1n6ormed that Il was against tho
policy of the President and the Post
office Department for postmasters to
take active part in politics, and it is
understood that they have sent in
their designations to the State Com
mittee, preferring to do this rather
than lose their positions.
This leaves only one federal office
holder on the Republican State Com
mittee of Virginia, Park Agnew, chair
man Of the committee and Internal
revenue collector of the Second Vir-
ginia district. which has headquarters
at Alexandria. 1t is understood that
he will not give up his position as
chairman, although there is a demand
from the Slemp faction that Agnew
be forced TO resign. Agnew's friends
declare that he would resign his coll
lectorship before he would give up his
position as chairman of the State
Committee.
The Postofice Department has given
postmasters everywhere TO understand
that the President will be rigid In the
enforcement of his policy against ac-
tive participation I'm partisan politics
by federal office holders.
II remains to be seen how the Pres
ident's order will effect Judson Lyons,
John G.. Capers, South Cardinals rep
resentative on the same committee.
II Is probable that II the President
insists I'm carrying out this reform IN
the federal service. the offenders VIII
hold on to their government Jobs and
relinquish their political honors, as did
the Virginia postmasters above men
toned.

LONDON April 23-At Bow Street Po-
lice Court to-day, Henry Slater head Of
the hes known private detective a gency
In England. was held in heavy bail,
charged with conspirng to prevent the
due course OF Justice.
With him in the dock were Albert Os-
borne. his lawyer. and two private detec-
tives employed by Slater. They also
were put under heavy bail.
The case is the sequel to a sensational
divorce suit, in which Slater was en-
ployed to secure evidence against the
piispand A decree was obtained last
November, but the authorities became
suspicious, ard after a rehearlng this
week the decree was rescinded, the jury
finding that the husband was Induced
through the agency Of Slater and Osborne
to misconduct himself In order that his
wife might obtain a divorce.
The rehearing attracted great public
interest. Sir Edward Clark and other
leading lawyers defended Sla ter, but were
unable to refute the scathing accusations
OF Solicitors General Carson, who re-
vealed tho extraordinary methods pur-
sued by the detective agency.
Over $4,000 was paid to Slater and Os-
borne for the evidence on which the de-
cree was originally granted. The solc-
tor-general showed that IT was heliber-
ntely concocted by the lowest types Of
SN"N -

Osborne, who is a rather prominent
lawyer, startled English legal circles by
saying he would pay for evidence n he
could not get It In any other manner and
that he had the right TO charge as much
as a client would give him, regardless
OF the fixed charges which exist among
all solicitors here
The sollcItor-general bitterly denounced
the existence of such nn&ngency MS Sla-
tcr's. which he declared bounded lnno-
cent mon and women With power and reg
ularity which could scarcely be conceived
except for the present disclosures which
we're all tho more alarming, as Slater was

similar cases,

The STATE
CONVENTl0
Difference Of Opinion as to Wlle-
ther the Virginia Democrats
Should Adopt Platform.
Will FOLLOW OLD CUSTOM.
Who Will be Delegates at Large?
Names Of Many Prominent d
@ Nirginians Mentioned.

(Frrom Our Regular Correspondent}
WASHINGTON, D. =, April 23.-There
are differences OF opinion as 10 whether
the State convention Of Virginia Demo-
crats should adopt a platform further
than one containing declarations as to
State questions. 1t is probable that the
party will. as In the past, agree upon
statement of Its attitude on national
questions, more or less explicit. but the .
will doubtless be members of the con-
ventlon who VIII oppose more than a
declaration of Democracy, and such Us
terances on State Issues as may appear
necessary.
'I do not see the need or the wisdom
Of our making platform in State cons
yention," said Representative james
Hay to-day. There can be no use In
formulating platform. which can only
have the effect of embarrassing the ma
tional convention. The convention at
st. Louis is the superior body. and what
ever VIC may do In State convention will
be subject TO the action of the national
and higher body. am in favor OF SIM
ple declaration of Democracy, and per-
haps of plank or Two dealing with
State issues. but do not want anything
done so far as am concerned regarding
national questions. Leave all that 70 ttle
sllt1llOHdl GuiESi'''D'''.
senator Martin however. is Of the
opinion that it would be well for the
Virginia Democracy to adopt a platform
dealing with national questions.
es"I see no objection to short plat
form defining in some measure the posi-
tlon Of the party in Virginia on national
questions" said the senator. 1T has been
the custom to do this, and there is no
good reason why it should not be done
this year It seems to me-,
AS TO THE DELEGATE.
There is little curiosity manifested here
as to tho platform Of the convention, but
there is much talk as to who will be
the delegates at large, tho Biz Four,
selected ii is believed there Is no doubt
that the senator's will be two OF the
number, but there is no certainty as to
the other two. Representative Jones has
been one OF the delegates at large TO the
last two national conventions. and II he
cares to have such place again he will
probably be elected. One of his colleagues
said to-day he would vote for him with
The times dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1903-1914, 1904-04-24

pleasure. but he did not know that he
cared for the honor. Governor Tyler
went to the last convention as dele
gate at large. but he was tho first Gov
ernor who had received an honor of this
kind, SO far as is remembered. So It
may be that Governor Montague may be
the fourth delegate chosen to represent
the State Democracy at st. Louis.
Some expressions favorable to State
Chairman Ellyson as one OF the dele
gates at large have been heard. but 1t is
pointed out that az Mr.. Ellyson Is a
member OF the National Committee from
Virginia it would be better to have
some ono else chosen as a delegate at
large. He will attend the convention.
of course. as there will be session of
the committee prior 70 the opening Of
the ocnHcn ton, and probably after adj
journment also.
None ofsthe members Of Congress want
to so to the convention as district dele
gates. But all OF them have frlends
whom they would like to see sent TO
ST. Louis az delegates and they will
do what they can to- help them get
there. 1teis} assumed that Hon. A. c.
Braxton will he one OF the two! dele
gates from the Tenth District Mr..
Flood has spoken out for Mr.. Braxton
as one Of the delegates at large. Hon.
Marshall Mccormick will probably be
one of the delegates from the Tenth
District. I have heard the name 81 ex-
Governor Tyler mentioned as one of the
delegates from the Ninth District. and
that Of Judge Archer A. Phlegar from
the Sixth. 1t is also said that an effort
will be made by the friends OF Mr.. Alex

him as a delegate from the Fourth Dis
trict, and the names of Mr.. w. P. Card
