rines to be employed in that way for more than
half of the period This led a protest the
part of the marine corps officers, who desire
have the regulations revoked They regard the
rule intended TO beIittle their Importance and
subordinate them. They recognize in il also a
realization of the remark OF Mr.. Newberry when
he Secretary of the Navy. He saw that Con-
gress would enact law which would compel the
employment Of the marines on board ship. and ne
quoted saying that the marines would go
back 10 the ships. but they would have nothing
more exciting or important to do in the way of
duty than looking over the sides of the ships

that the navy is place for them and many OF

PARSONS CHARGES DEAL
Continued from nrst paEe.

the beginning OF the last session certain New York
Republicans assisted Tammany In preventing re-
form legislation nj Albany created something Of a
sensation here tonight.
That Mr.. Fitzgerald rendered valiant service in
preventing the defeat OF the Cannon organization
IN the House az the beginning oI the special session
is well known. is the fact that the Speaker $
chief lieutenant in thar nght former Repre-
sentative Littauer There stories Of n deal
with Tammany circulated at the time and many OF
them were received with measure Of credence. 1t
could not he denied that only the Fitzgerald
amendment saved the day for the Cannon forces
on an occasion when they were subjected to the
most vigorous attack they have ever known.
But from all the rumors rife at the time the only
facts which were susceptible OF proof were that
the Speaker had intrusted his interests TO Mr.. Lit
tauer; that he succeeded. with the help of Mr..
Fitzgerald and the TammRny members Of Con
gress in saving the Cannon organization from de-
feat and that Mr.. Cannon then and there promised
Mr.. Littauer the increased duty gloves which
was embodied in the Pnyne bill and subsequently
rejected in conference on the insistence of the
President
When the time came 10 I'LL the Democratic va
cancy the Committee Rules the Speaker ap-
pointed Mr Fitzgerald. against the protest OF
Representative Clark, the minority leader and it
supposed that in doing Mr.. Cannon dis
charged all lis obligations.
As there are members Of the House now In
Washington is impossible TO secure further nfor-
nation the subject here. There is a general be
lief however. that the Speaker will find some
method of severely dscplining Mr.. Parsons for
conduct which Mr Cannon will. OF interpret
il Mr. Parsons's statements correct Mr.. Lit
tauer is the responsible factor and that in all
probability the Speaker never knew Just how the
former New York Representative attained his end.
