Expects Reinstatement TO

statement that she believed 1 had ap-
pealed 10 the national president, she
was very vague. She should have

Mrs. Isabella WorreI Ball. past de-
partment president OF the Womens Re
lief Corps, O. A. R., stated today that
she expected immediate action upon
her appeal against the order Of sus-
pensiol for year, issued against her
by Mrs Emma L. Newton, department
president.
She IS incensed at the action of her de-
partment president IN rushing into print
and is confident that the order Of sus-
pension will be Immediately revoked.
''The good Of the order which she rep.
resents demands that petty spites and
jealOusies that stir the hearts Of the
small-minded should be kept out of
print" said Mrs. Bail today
Il deeply regret her action, because
OF the harm 1T will do the order which
mas been my pride all the years OF my
ufe.'
Mrs. Ball has copies Of letters from
Mr.. Hibbs and from War Department
officers, in which they state emphat-
icaily that she had gone TO great pains
TO impress upon them that she was
not departmeIt president any longer.

Deputy State Engineer Charlie O'Nein.
When Charles F. Murphy. with Phil
DonGhue and Dan Colahan, arrived and
demanded the reservation the clerk was
unable TO explain. The Tammany

KERN PREPARING
A HOT BLAST FOR
THE PRESIDENT
VIII Attack Him for Taking
Active Part in the
Campaign.

Another attack on President Roosevelt
IS In preparation by the Democratic Ma
..onal Committee. which may be sprung
oy Nice-Presidential Candidate Kern
when he comes to New York next week.
1t will take the form OF a denunciation
OF the President for prostituting the dig
nifty Of his high Office by active partici-
patton in the political campaign and
utilizing the public service for partisan
ends. Among the charges are tho fol-
lowing:
Summoning party leaders and mana
ers for conferences at the White House,
where he assumed direct control over
the campaign.
Giving them orders and directions
about the raising OF funds.
Permitting Government officials to
participate actively and openly in politi-
cal work
Holding open public places for ap-
pointive office-holders who have re-
signed temporarily to run for elective
offices. If unsuccessful at the polls they
will be renstated in their old places.
In connection with this latter charge
states District : Byrne, Of
Delaware, and Lewis, OF Virginia. who
were candidates at recent elections.
They resigned. but their places were
neld for them so that after defeat they
were again appointed to THE old posts.
Attention will be called to the case OF
Hamilton Fish. assistant treasurer at
New York City. who has. resigned to
run for Congress. and to that OF In
ternal Revenue Collector W. e. Glass
cock, who is running for Governor of
West Virginia. The Democrats assert
that promise has been made to these
men that their old positions either will
De left untitled or temporarily occupied,
SO that in case Of defeat at election
they can return.
