Of Delegates to Conventions.

William Murrell, colored. chairman of
the central committee of the United Re-
publican Clubs of the District of Columbia,
and delegation from that body called on
Commissioner Macfarland yesterday. in
forming him that bill will be introduced
in Congress legalizing primary elections
in the District and requesting the Com
missioners to approve it when it is re-
ferred to them for report.
In view of the fact that there are no
laws now governing the holding of pri-
mary elections, Mr.. Murrell and his as
sociates are of the opinion that something
should be done to remove any possibility
of fraud and to provide for the punish
ment of persons who testify falsely to
election returns. He informed the Com
missioner that Senator Galinger. chair
man Of the District committee of the
Senate. is In favor of such legislation and
has announced his intention Of introduc-
ing bill shortly giving Washington a
primary law similar to that Of the state
of Maryland. 1t is also understood that

informed the Commissioners that the dog

1t was necessary to dispose of some OF

was killed after the time of incarceration
required by law had passed.
The Commissioners have approved Mr..

Representative Dawson, Mr.. W.

The heroic services or American SOL
diers, sailors and marines under Old
Glory, on land and on sea. were lauded
last night by prominent speakers at
Grand Army Hall. The occasion was the
Joint installation of the recently elected
officers of three garrisons Of the Army
and Navy Union, U.S.A., and there was a
large attendance of friends of Uncle
Sans fighting men, past and present.
In the absence. by reason OF illness. of
Gen. Andrew s. Burt, U.S.A., who was
to have presided, Col. BENJAMIN F. Chase
occupied the post of honor and introduced
the speakers and the musical and literary
numbers on the program.
The ASSEMBLY was sounded on the
buxle by Trumpeter Nolan Of the United
States Marine Corps. who will soon be
retired after twenty-five years Of active
service. AS the braZen notes of the bugle
died away Mr.. Charles NJ. Shinn Of Barry

the address of welcome. He said such

patriotic object lessons to the. American

brightest chapters in American history.
Ship for ship and man for man. he
declared with warmth. 'the United States
navy is not only equal. but is superior to
any other navy in the world
After the outburst of applause had sub
sided Mr.. Dawson said the criticisms Of
the American warships and their EN-
cheney come not from those who have
any practical knowledge of naval affairs.
but from lot Of marine muckrakers
who are eager to make sensation. Mr.
Dawson explained that the. armor plate

Dry Dollar Sullivan.

'Dry-Dollar Sullivan. or Big Tim" as
he is usually called, to distinguish him
from his nephew. Little Tim Sullivan,
author of the anti-cigarette ordinance, is
another of the same type. and perhaps
exercises an even greater influence than
did Whispering Larry" and for the
same reasons.
They call him "Dry-Dollar" Sullivan
because his money is always dry when
he passes 1t out to them. He never
drinks or smokes. and therefore his bank
notes never get wet from the beer that is
split on the bar His nickname is thus
indicative of one o. his strongest char
acteristics. He Amt no saint" as John
Hay said Of one of his characters, but
he's strong temperance advocate, and
teetotaler himself

Bowery like SO many OF the Tammany
leaders. and began as a newsboy One
day during the civil war the late James
Gordon Bennett wanted the assistance of
a bright, shrewd, active lad to secretly
circulate scIne handbills he had printed
to disturb and annoy certain politicians

for President. Among the newsboys that
hung about the old Herald office down at
the corner of Ann and Nassau streets he
picked Tim Sullivan for the work. The

Gently died after a long service in the
common council and the legislature. and
as a leader o. Tammany Hall. was an
example of this paternalism. Every even
Ing in the year. except when he was
called away on other affairs, he made it
his business spend an hour or SO on
the pavement of I'd avenue between S1st
and SD streets, and on rainy nights he
held reception in neighboring saloon.
Every voter in the district and his fam
lily knew they could find him there. and
they went to him upon every conceivable
errand. They asked his advice and as
sistanca about family relations and bust
ness affairs: they took him their troubles
more confidently even than to the priest.
and he never failed them. He settled
their quarrels; he acted as arbitrator in
disputes: he advised them on legal propo-
sitions and about the purchase of homes,
he reconciled quarrels between husbands
and wives and between parents and chill
dren; he got railroad passes for those who
wanted TO make trips to other parts of the
state ialthough that privilege no longer
exists: and to those who were actually
In need he went down. into his pocket,
which was always well supplied with
small coins to answer just such appeals.
In return for this service Whispering
Larry could command the votes OF
80 per cent of the population of his
district. They would do exactly as he
told them, and he earned his influence in
that way
