BALTIMORE REPUBLICANS.
Timanus and Wachter Forces Offer
mo Quarter in Fipht

BALTIMORE. March 1J.-The contest in
the republican ranks between Mayor Ii
manus and exRepresentative Frank c.
Wachter for the mayoralty nomination has
now reached stage where both sides are
straining every nerve in their effort to gain
ground and carry the primaries
By many this is regarded as perhaps
the bitterest contest the party has ever had
in the city. In addition to the mayoralty
nomination, there are involved the nomina-
tions for city controller and president OF
the second branch city council Each side
Will likewise have a full councilmanic ticket
in the field, and it is fight to a finish in
every ward.
The political lives of a number of persons
now prominent in republican politics. IL is
believed, hang upon the result of the pri-
maries. A victory for Mr. Wachter would
unquestonably be a staggering blow to
Collector William F. Stone as the head OF
the regular republican organization. 1t is
possible that Mr.. Stone would not be COM
pletely crushed If Mr.. Wachter should gain
the nomination. as the present city COM
mittee is controlled by his friends and their
successors are not chosen until next fall
but his prestige leader would be gone
Should Mr.. Wachter gain the nomna ton
and this be followed by his election as
mayor. he would be In position to elimi-
nate Mr. Stone altogether as a political fac
tor, and there is no question that he would
do 1t,

Dominic SUSPENDED.
Gotham Minister Arrested With Ne
gress Will Be Subject of Inquiry.

NEW YORK. March IMPENDING an in

II. Greer, bishop coadjutor. into the tender
loin stunning visit Of Rev William How
ard Mears. an assistant rector of ST. Mat
search for material for a sermon during
which he was arrested a charge Of as
saulting policeman, the young curate has
been suspended from duty. This announce
ment made yesterday afternoon by
Rev. Arthur II. Judge, rector of the church.
who characterized Mr.. Mears' sociological
visit "foolishness."
At the time of the trouble the young
clergyman had gone to a furnished room
with q negress who had accosted him on
the street. He accused her of an attempt
to rob him, and when detectives appeared
he imagined they were accOmpltccs OF the
woman and fought his way out OF the
house. On returning with a uniformed po-
liceman to get his hat the minister was
arrested by the detectives.
1.-The least that can be said.' declared
Rev. Mr.. Judge. lis that II was a foolish
thing for Rev Mr.. Mears to do. and IL he
has the interest Of the church at heart he
will step aside. We are seeking to have
Justice done, and will investigate toward
that end. Mr. Mears duties as curate I'm
this parish have ceased. The best thing he
can do is not to be seen too much: it is
best for him to retire until this matter is
settled"
Rev. Mr. Judge said he had never heard
of a similar case. He said he believed that
Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst was about the
stunning expeditions, but that he was wise
enough to surround himself with detectives
and thereby protect himself from being in
yolved in unpleasant results.

Rosebery. Hitherto In the history of the
university chanceliors had always been
chosen without a contest
Although much influential pressure was
exerted to persuade Lord Rcsebery to &C.
cept the nomination, there was some ad-
verse criticism Of his acceptance in the face
Of the almost certain election of Lord Cur

that it gave the contest a political aspect,
Lord Rosebery being liberal
The polling was held from until 4 O'Clock
In the afternoon, during which constant

CONTEST OVER.
Waugh II. =. Church Brotherh Sod En-
tertaiued At Dinner,


The members OF Waugh M. e. Church
brotherhood. over one hundred strong. en-
joyed q banquet Wednesday evening in the
parlors OF the church The banquet cele-
brated the triumph Of the "Orangemen"
over the "Greenies." in a contest for new
members BY previous agreement the losers
served the others with O dinner.
For several weeks the campaign has been
waged in Waugh Brotherhood. Each side,
about forty strong. started out to establish
Its superiority, Like all the unique enter
tainments carried out by the brotherhood,
1t was success, resulting in increases in
the ranks. and the infusion Of new blood
all along the line. The battles were bat
ties Of ingenious wit. A few days ago the
white flag was hung out: the ''Orangemen"
and the "Greenes'' came together. 1t was
then found that the former had succeeded
IN getting forty-seven new members
against twenty-five by the opponents. The
"Greenies' then prepared to pay the pen
atty and the dinner was served by them
last night to the winners.
While the dinner was In progress there
were several calls upon the telephone. Just
after the chicken salad had been served DR..
Wiley called up to say that his analysis
of 1t showed that the canned beef Of 1898
was purified cream compared to the salad
A few minutes later Major Sylvester called
up and stated that twelve chickens had
been stolen from coop near the Waugh
CHufcn, ana ILum Harper, VINO answered
the telephone, stated that they had twelve
chickens. but that he thought they were
paid for.
C.. C. Carroll. president of the Waugh
Brotherhood, presided and introduced the
speakers The three leaders Of the win
ming side, Joseph Harper. H. c. Graves
and M. R. Speelman, were among the first
to be called upon to respond to toasts. All
insisted upon continued efforts in behalf of
the brotherhood.
Mr.. Graves asked, in the course Of his
speech. what was the ultimate object to-
ward which the brotherhood is progressing
He suggested a branch Y. M. c. A. on
Capitol Hill as the goal He stated that
the magnificent plant Of the association was
far away from the residents on Capitol
Hill. and that they should utilize a build
Ing nearer to them. Other speakers COM
mended the idea in high terms.
Other speakers were A. J. Ward, B. J.
Howard. DR.. Albert Evans, pastor of the
Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, and
DR. George E. Maydwell, pastor Of Waugh
Church. They pointed out that now. with
the struggle over and the strife at an end,
all members could join hands and work
untedly for the benefit Of the organization.
Music was furnished by two quartets,
who gave topical compositions to popular
airs. The "Greenies' quartet was com
posed of B. ]. Howard. N. c. Harper. ].

SUSPENDED POSTAL CLERK.
Shaugh Says He Will Continue Or
ganizing.

LOS ANGELES. Cal, March i5-Hugh
U. Shaugh, the clerk who was suspended
by the Post ONCE Department says that he
Is preparing a report for submission to the
ch'ef clerk regarding the Brotherhood OF
Railway Postal Clerks. which Shaugh has
been instrumental In organizing He said:
This Is benevolent order which was
formed In this city. and includes ninety
OF the 10 postal clerks who run out of
Los Angeles. Within the past few days
nave received applications from Seattle,
portland. Tacoma and New Orleans for
temporary charters authorizing the forma-
tion or branch organizations These will
De issued as soon as We receive our
charter from the secretary of state. About
San Francisco"
shaugh said the organization would not
De disbanded: that the members were not
advocates OF striking, and that they were
not attempting to impair the service. He
aHlrmed that the clerks were overworked
and underpaid. and that a committee which
VISITED Washington to secure better con-
ditions had been Informed that the matter
would not be discussed.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Shallenberger said that the dismissal OF
Shaugh was necessary under the civil serv-
Ice rules for the governme mt of the execu-
1--WE departments. The soliciting OF contri-
buttons from government employees for the
poiPooe VI influencing legislation or to be
USED Tor any political purpose is contrary to
the rules, and Mr.. Shaiienberger SAYS he
pehefes Shaugh knew this when he set
about organizing his brotherhood
Now that Shaugh is out OF the service
the question arises IL is SAID of the atti-
tude of the Post Office Department toward
any clerks who may contribute to the or
sanization. This also is against the civil
service regulations, and the departr rent ac-
cordlng to Mr.. Shallenberger -,annot
countenance it. As yet however. II, ui-
hcial information that any clerks Sx.-e
contributed money to the Organization
which Shaugh is said to be forming, uas
reached the department.
