and Uproar Follows.

One of the most exciting sessions
in the history of the Daughters of the
American Revolution marked the clos
ing hours Of their congress yesterday.
The climax came in the afternoon
about $50 o'clock. just when it looked
as II the dove of peace which has
been flying near all week was about to
perch on the dCme of Continental Hall.
Miss Mary Desha. one of the three
founders of the society and its recording
secretary general resigned peremptorily
from her position and declared it would
be Impossible to serve any longer
under the present administration" The
house was thrown into an uproar and

but Miss Desha was determined and de-
cIared that her resignation was final
and permitted of no reconsideration.
It was all on account of the famous
Montana matter" Every effort had
been made through the week to either
bury or finish up the case in some
way and IL was whispered among the
friends of those most interested that
the report in which it was embodied
would be raiIroaded- This was the re-
port of Miss Mary Desha, the record
ing secretary general. 1t was presented
on Tuesday, but. with the reports of
other national officers, was received
FOR further consideration.
The day was spent in filibustering, but
along about $40 o'clock the report was
finally reached. When IL was presented
Mrs. Mclean ruled TO receive 1t, "as
there were no recommendations in IL, -
but Miss Desha was on her feet in an
instant.

report has not been considered

Miss Desha thereupon resigned her Of

CARD PLAYERS ARRESTED.
Police Make a RAID and Capture Four
Men Who Were Playing ''Whist."

A squad of police made raid
Thursday night on the cardroom at the
Jackson Hotel and arrested four men,
who were playing cards. They were
given a hearing before Recorder Hurst
Friday and bound over for trial at
the next term of court on the charge
of gambling. They were released on
giving bond in the sum of 5000 each.
Messrs. FIELDS and Williams, proprie
tors of the hotel. and Mr.. John G.
Wagnon, proprietor of the Jackson
Billiard Parlor, were also required to
give bond, although neithe. of the
three were in the room where the
four card players were found. The
charge against them will be for per-
mitting gambling on the premises.
The four men who we're arrested for
gambling assert positively that they
were not gambling, but we're having a
social game of whist. This point will
be positively determined when the
trial is had in the Court of General
Sessions.
Al the earnest request of friends of
the four card players their names are
withheld from publication for the
time being, as two of them are travel
ing mon and would probably lose their
jobs if their names were published.
When the. case comes to trial they will
have an Opportunity of establishing
their innocence of the charge of
gambling or be made to suffer the
penalty imposed by law. When they
come to trial there will be no suppress
sion of names.
In addition to the four card players,
the raidiug squad captured an assort-
ed lot of card tables, chips, cards and
other paraphernalia, which they found
in the card room.
