OVERSTREET OF INDIANA
 IS QUITE DISCOURAGED
PRESIDENT FAILS TO NAME HIS MAN FOR SURVEYOR
 OF PORT.

Only Appointment He Had Taken From
 Him and Given to Beverfdge---secre-
 tary of the Republican Congressional
 Campaign Committee and VIII Not
 Accept Re-eIecti0n--Member for
 Ten Years-Thinks the President Has
 Treated Him Badly.
 Washington, Jan. 1O.- Representative Overstreet of Indiana, secretary of the republican congr assional campaign committee, announced to-day that the presidents failure to allow him to name the surveyor of the port at Indianapolis has discouraged him so badly he will not again serve on the committee.
 When asked if he would resign from the committee MT Overstreet said
 No, shall not resign, but I shall not accept reelection to the committee. Whats the use? I'm not doing this for spite, but l only had one appointment and when that's taken away there's nothing left for me-"
 The present congressional campaign committees tehn will expire in a short time. and the various states will elect members of the committee to look after the elections next fall. MT. Overstreet has been a member for ten years. In a written Statement issued by Mr. Over street to-day he discusses the failure of President Roosevelt to appoint Frank D. Stalnaker, the Overstreea candidate for the Indianapolis surveyorship, and the appointment of U. G. Rothschild. Senator Beveridge's candidate. The statement says the surveyorship has al- ways been regarded as the patronage of the Indianapolis representative. MT. Overstreet says Senator Beveridge has more than his share of federal offices in Indianapolis, and gives list of the Beveridge appointees. After stating efr1- phatically that he feels he has been badly treated by the president, MT. | Overstreet concludes his statement with the declaration that he has no per- sonal feeling in the matter and vii let the incident close with his statement. He says he will devote his attention to the interests of his disrict rather than. to personal appointments, which would idhim individually.
 In addition to the support of Repre- sentative Overstreet, MT. Stalnaker had the backing of many important inter- ests, business and social in Indianap- oils.
 It is understood that President Roose-s I welt wrote a letter to MT. 0v5rsssree :. saying that he had promised Senator Beveridge more than year ago to ap. point MT. Rothschild and that he did not feel he could reoede from that promise,

Roosevelt Declares It Would Break
 Down if War Broke Out.


 Washington, Jan. 10.-In a speech which he made to-day while presenting Captain James Robb Church of the medical corps of the army with med al, President Roosevelt, in accounting Captain Church's services at Las Qua simas, Cuba, during the Spanish-Amer- idan war, said: If we had a war break out tomorrow, and had to raise any large army there would be an inn mediate breakdown In the medical de- partment, simply because at present cur medical corps is numerically only fit to take care of about forty per cent of the regular army as it is now. The medical corps is not numerically fit to grapple with 8 campaign in which our whole army as 1t is, the little army as it is, should be employed. And, of course, if we had to moboilize an army of volunteers we would under present conditions have to count upon wide- spread disaster through the shortcom- ings in the medical and sanitary and hygienic arrangements rendered inev- itable by our prescott lack of prepara- tion"

tlcipate in the Primary Election to
 be Held Tonight.
 Philadelphia, Jan. 10-The city com nittee of the city party, which fought the regular republican organization last fall, to-day decided to request all cit izens who are in sympathy with the movement for municipal reform not to participate in the primary election to be held tomorrow night by the regular republicans,
 This action was taken after a series of conferences had been held during the day by representatives of the city party, the Lincoln party and the com mittee of seventy. The Lincoln party is a reform organization which grew out of the gas lease fight and which in dorsed the city party's candidates at the November election. The commit tee of seventy was formed prior to the gas lease fight and suggested the or ganization of Ithe city party
 The action taken to-day by the oity party grew out of the split in the re- publican organization on the question of permitting those who voted the re. form ticket last fall to participate in the primaries. More than two-thirds of the republican ward committees decid- ed upon open primaries and to invite those republicans who voted the reform ticket to assist in electing members to the republican city committee, which will reorganize next week.
 The city party claims that the new republican city committee will be made up largely of former members of that committee whose political creed is at variance with the city party platform at every point.
