INCORPORATION OF RED MEN

Sneaker Cannon does not look for ad
1ournment of Congress before July /. and
he is not so sure of that. He had a confer
ence with the President today, and when
he started out he was asked about ad-
journment probabilities. ut does not look
much like we will get away before July l.
II then" said the Speaker; but the hot
weather viii probably facilitate things in
that direction. But we must stay here I'M
I'll we fix things all right" Then the
Speaker told several good stories and hur-
ried to the Capitol.
The President has expressed his hopes
that he may be abe to get away from
Washington by July l. He feels that he
will need the vacation he will get at Oyster
Bay. Senator Hansbrough told him today
that he did not believe Congress would be
here after July 1. The North Dakota SEN
ator talked to the President about what
Congress is doing on some things and about
the possibility of getting away as soon as
possible.
BY almost common consent July / has
come to be the time fixed for winding up
business. There is no doubt as to the de-
sire of everybody to get away before that
time, but nobody how 1t can be
done Some hope for earlier date, but
do not predict II.
Incorporation of Red Men.
President Roosevelt has signed the bill
Incorporating the Order of Red Men, but
today he signed duplicate of the bill,
printed in parchment. This duplicate is
to be sent TO John w. Cherry of Norfolk,
the grand incohonee OF the order, and will
be preserved a souvenir by the society.
The duplicate bill signed today in the
presence of Representative Sterling of ILL.,
nois.
Representative Rixey of Virginia present.
ed some of his constituents from ToudOun
county. They were d. j. HOge, C. c. Gaver
OF Loudoun and A. E. Warner of Balti-
more, formerly OF Loudoun. They repre-
sented the Prohibition Evangelical Associa-
ton of LOudoun and invited the President
10 attend the twenty-ninth annual meeting.
TO be held August /. The President said
he would be glad to attend, but that he
would not accept any invitations during
August or September, as these were his va
cation months. 1t is not likely that he
will go anywhere during July either.
Representative Hull handed the President
an invitation to visit Des MoiHcs August
ID. and this was likewise declined. The
occasion Is TO be the annual reunion of the
Army of the Philippines, composed of men
who served In the far east.
Parsons May Lose Out.
Representative Parsons Of New York is ex-
pected 10 lose out at the White House in
his fight for the appointment OF Charles NJ.
Hough as Judge of the southern district of
New York. Congress created a new judge
ship In that district and there are a num-
Der of candidates. Mr.. Parsons, who is
chairman of the republican county commit
tee of New York has visited the Presdeit
a number of times in behalf of Hough but
serious objection TO his candidate is raised
because OF his connection with legal firms
that are heavily employed by the Pennsyl-
Vania railroad and large steamship inter-
ests. Mr.. Parsons cannot see why Mr..
Hough's connection with corporate estab-
Hshments would stand In the way OF the ap-
pOnment. but the President has advised him
that his man stands no chance. Thomas l.
Chatneld. who is assistant United States at
torney OF the eastern district OF the state
and who lives in Brooklyn, is said to be out
of the race because he does not live in Man
haitian. for which the tudgeship was de-
signed
Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer

talking about the work on the canal and
preparations to continue II.
