THE CLOSING SESSION
The Naval Militia Association
Adjourns Today.
COMMITTEE NAMED
DUTY ENJoINED OF PRESENTING
BILLS TO CONGRESS.

tion-Election of Officers.
COMMITTEE NAMED

The special meeting of the Naval Militia
Association of the United States came to an
end shortly after noon today with the cleo
ton of officers. In the selection of the Off
GERS that are to have charge of the affairs
of the association for the next year the
District of Columbia was honored In the
election of Mr.. Sidney Bieber of this city
as second vice president, and was further
honored by his appointment as the official
representative of the association in Wash
ington with the Navy Department The ap-
pointment of the local representative of the
organization was regarded as the most
important work done at the morning meet
ing.
The business which brought the associa-
ton to Washington, the consideration OF
the two bills offered in Congress for the or
ganization and management of the naval
militia and the naval reserve, respectively,
was practically finished yesterday
The organization, however. believed that
it would be necessary to appoint COM
mittee to see that the bills were presented
to Congress in the proper light, and which
would be at all times at the call of the
Secretary of the Navy to advise him as to
the needs of the naval militia, and to con-
suit with him 70 what should be done
with the organizations of the several states.
1t was therefore desired to get the very
best men in the association on the COM
mittee.

from Arkansas to the Democratic ma
tlonal convention will vote for the
New York favorite, if that be the
will of the Democratic voters of the
state as reflected by their representa-
tlVes in the state convention.
SO far as canbe learned no one is
at the head of the Parker movement
In Arkansas and any momentum that
the sentiment is i'm his favor NAV
have gained is net due to the manage
ment Of any person or persons. In
TACT, such leaders as Senators Clarke
and Berry have not declared their
presidential preferences and, while
number of newspapers throughout
the state have advocated the n NINA
ton of Parker, the idea of seeking
instructions for him at the state con.
Venticn has taken root only recently.
The semit-authoritative announce
ment that Gov. Davis will probably
