Politics Of Congress.
Nine vice presidents general were
elected. but the tenth place was a tie
between Two representatives, Of opposing
factions n the society. These were Mrs.
Little, of New York. and Mrs. Quarles.
OF Wisconsin
Mrs. Quarles was the choice Of the
Fairbanks faction, and Mrs. Donald Nc

Huey Case Settled.
Another important matter which came
before the congress was the famous
Roberts-Huey case, a Pennsylvania fight

Issue by the appointment of a special

A Weak Brother.

The Van Wickle-Patterson combina-
ton is straining every nerve TO keep up
with the procession. This ticket. though
backed by the influence which has put
up Gen. George II. Harries for national
committeeman, is the weakest In the
field at the present time. II IS said the
ticket IL so weak that the candidate for
delegate or alternate will get out on
slight provocation. and on orders il a
stronger man can be found.
} A story leaked out yesterday which
IS said to show how Mr.. Van Wicl1le
regards his chances. Through a friend
he made proposition to DR.. w. s.
Richardson that he be made an alter
nate on the RichardsOnPOe ticket A
conference was held on the subject be
tween Mr.. Van Wickle and Or. Rici :
ardson. but nothing came OF ii. The
change was to fill the vacancy caused
by the retirement of c. c. Clark from
the Richardson-Poe ticket.
Much gossip was going the rounds last
night as to how the prominent negro
leaders would stand next week, but
nothing definite was made public.
The Simmons-Chase leaders are to
have a mass meeting in Hillsdale Mon

CHANGED AROUND
Sleight-Of- Hand by Bosses
This Week.

the Republican party of the District

Several similar moves are being plan

become public Monday. number of
important conferences We're held yester-
day afternoon. and last night, at which
changes in tickets were discussed.
Facts were. however, withheld.
Satisfaction Reigm.
The simmons-Ch..se party closed the
week well satisfied with what they ac-
complished. and the Richardson-Poe
leaders are as confident as ever that
they are going to be able to roll up a
bigger vote than any OF the other con-
didates in the field. Both of these fac
tions have confined their campaigning
during the week 10 reorganize new
clubs and to holding mass meetings.
Ii was said last night that in nearly
all Of the districts complete organiza-

talk OF a permanent central committee

Prejudieed Review.

1t is also allegeA by the friends Of
Paymaster Biscoe that the review of the
case by Admiral Evans showed animus,
and they have determined, if possible, TO
bring about the trial OF Admiral Evans
officers of the Navy Department are
somewhat divided in their opinions re-
garding the matter. and. in view of the
close relationship between Admiral
Evans and Rear Admiral Henry c. Tay-
Tor. chief of the Bureau OF Navigation.
ii Is hardly believed that the friends
OF Biscoe will be successful in bringing
about the trial OF Evans. Notwith-
standing this fact the Navy Department
has accorded permission 20 an attorney
representing Biscoe 10 examine the pro-
ceedings and findings of the court which
tried Biscoe and found him guilty of
certain minor Irregularities and seu-
fenced him 10 a reduction In numbers.
The matter bids fair TO become one of
the most noted naval controversies that
has occurred in many years. and is par
ticularly important because of the fact
that il involves one of the best known
officers in the navy.

Unpleasant Attitude.

Although Admiral Evans was sus-

with the authorities at Washington be-
cause of his harsh language in COM

Shortly after this affair word was re-
ceiy ed at the Navy Department that
Pay master Biscoe had been ordered

Evans. 1t is now shown by the record
of the court that a court of inquiry
