REGULARS WIN
AFTER HOT FIGHT
Stormy Session Of c. S. Re-
tirement Association.
REF0RMERS MAY SPLIT
Rulings Of the Reelected President,
Jacob w. Starr, Cause Uproar
at Election of Officers.

After a session OF four hours. the
regulars" of the United States Civil
Service Retirement Association elected
officers for the coming year at the
meeting Of the national association at
the Pythian Temple last night Jacob
w. Starr. the retiring president. pre-
sided. He evidently remembered the
strife Of one year ago at the G. a. r.
Hall. and ruled last nights meeting
with a Arm hand. He was declared
unanimously reelected
Arrayed against Mr.. Starr and the
regulars" was a band of "reformers,"
headed by DR.. .Llewellyn Jordan. The
'reformers'' had for their candidate for
president B. II. Warner. When this
became definitely known, the fight be-
tween the organization and would-be
organizers showed form. 1t began with
the naming OF a committee on creden-
uals. the chair appointing NJ. F. O'Don-
oghue, DR.. Jordan, and John Mccarthy
rs the committee
The ''reformers" then set up a claim
Tor fair play and orderly procedure
AT one time there was an attempt made
10 adjourn the meeting without ac-
zion. In jiffy a dozen were on the
floor making points OF order" ''aF-
peals.' motions of inquiry" and nearly
every phrase used In parliamentary
practice. Finally S. I. BesseIeivere OBJ
tained the floor and urged order. He
then took a position on the presiding
officers platform and practically ran
the meeting for the next two hours.
DR.. Jordan submitted a score Of
amendments to the constitution, broad
ening the scope Of the organization, for
TO win the presidency for a person out
side the regular organization the con-
stitution wcYld have to be changed.
Mr. Starr then ruled the amendments
TO the table. He also ruled out of order
the 2,791 proxies held by the reform
ers." The regulars then cast their
proxies, 1928 votes in all, and the regu-
lar ticket was declared unanimously
reelected as fololws:
Jacob w. Starr. president: Robert
Armour, first vice president: S. Z.
Faunce, second vice president; Mrs.
Jennie L. Monroe, third vice president
David y. Caldwell, secretary; Henry c.
Swan, treasurer.
When Mr.. Starr ruled the reform
ers, which was principally made up Of
the Treasury branch organization, out
of order, the meeting broke up. Kisses
and undertone charges Of unfairness by
the chair were made A movement was
born to establish a separate Organiza-
ton out Of the Treasury branch and
other sympathizers. a meeting will be
held In the next few days 10 take de-
finite action in this respect.
