Baltimore and elsewhere for use at the
barracks. When the Engineer Corps took
possession of the barracks park about

made was the building of a new and
more modern pier on the harbor side OF

RESOLUTION OF ENDORSEMENT
President Taft to Deliver Address at
Opening Session of Big Congress
Tomorrow Morning.
RESOLUTION OF ENDORSEMENT

| Mrs. Matthew T. Scott, president gen.
eral of the d. A. r.. whose dismissal of
| Miss Agnes Gerald from her position as
clerk for alleged INSTRUMENTATION caused
a stir throughout the ranks Of the organf-
zation. yesterday broke the silence which
she has maintained in regard to the mat
ter, and before the board of manage
ment made a scathing reply to the
charges that she exceeded her authority.
Mrs. Scott also spoke bitterly of the al
legged conduct of Miss Gerald. and harshly
criticised the so-called insurgents for sup
porting Miss Gerald
Following Mrs. SCOTS statement, the
board of management adopted resolu-
tiOns indorsing Mrs. Scott and her adj
ministration, and recommending that the
Continental Congress at it's coming ses-
sions pass a vote of censuTe on Miss
Mary r. Wilcox, recording secretary
general, for the circular Miss Wilcox
sent broadcast to members of the D.
A. r., criticising Mrs. Scott for dis
missing Miss Gerald without waiting
for authority from the board of manage
ment.
The action of the board of manage
ment gives first blood to Mrs. Scott and
her administration in the fight which is
insurgents when the nineteenth annual
Continental Congress opens tomorrow.
But the members of the insurgent party
say that this action on the part of the
board was only to be expected. and that
when the fight is taken into the con-
gress Mrs. Scott will find that she will
have her hands full, and. perhaps, a
little more. They point to the fact
that the board of management was by
no means unanimous in It's adoption of
the resolution indorsing Mrs. Scott.
Mrs. SCOTS statement to the board
In regard to Miss Gerald and her dis
missal was as follows:
Another matter 1 am constrained to
bring to your attention at this time on
account OF the publicity which has heen
,maliciOusly' given to 1t. 1t Is a simple
matter OF discipline among our clerical
