Peace Has Returned to
Congressional Club
Olive Branch Floats Over Two Factions of So
ciety, and Election Next Wednesday,
Promises to Be Love Feast.

tile furry caused by the introduction
OF the petition had already subsided.
The present disturbance, it would
seem, dates to the time when Mrs. Sam
uel Mccall, wife of Representative Nc
Call, of Massachusetts, voluntarily with
drew from the presidential candidacy
after her name had been placed on the
slate. When she was first chosen it was
with the understanding that there was to
be no opposition. Soon afterward a
strong insurgency developed. Hence her
voluntary retirement from politics and
the selection of Mrs. Roberts-who was
not present at the time-for the presi-
dency
week ago last Wednesday the consti-
tutional revision committee, comprising
Mrs. Frank Briggs, daughter of Sena-
tor Frye: Mrs. Charles Davis, wife of
the Minnesota Representative, and Mrs.
William Sharp, wife of the Ohio Con-
sressman, introduced, or rather inserted
the little clause in the new constitution
which debarred all members not related
TO active members of Congress from
holding Office.
Mrs. Roberts said last night that the
only protests she had received to this
was from Miss Amy Wood, sister of
Representative Wood, of New Jersey,
who called it ''undemocratic," and asked
that ii be stricken out. Immediately this
was done. The new constitution, which
comes up for consideration on Wednes-
DAY, is, therefore, minus this clause.

Needless to say, peace reigns in the
Congressional Club of Washington. Mrs.
Ernest w. Roberts, wife of the Repre-
sentative from Massachusetts, who is
president of this social organization, ex-
planned last night that the rumored dis
sensions over the question of a Joker"
by which the wives of former members
of Congress were prohibited from holding
office, had ended when the constitutional
revision committee had stricken out this
Objectionable clause.
Mrs. Roberts Furthermore stated that
those members who had resigned recent
" had furnished perfectly valid grounds
for so doing, and had given no cause for
the supposition that they had quit the
organization because of dissatisfaction
with the present regime.
Wives. sisters, and daughters of mem
bers of Congress last night exhibited
signs of perturbation when shown the an
,nouncement that they were all at odds
and ends over the question of a constitu-
tional revision prohibiting members re-
late! to former Congressman from hold
ing office. Despite all assurances fur
nished, it would seem, from what was
said, that when the club meets at it's
headquarters, 1882 X street, next We'd
nesday, there will be lively debate over
the constitution.
Some said last night that the insidious
Joker" introduced into the constitution
was intended as a direct attack on Mrs.
John B. Henderson, the social autocrat
time one of the vice presidents. Others
Indignantly denied this. Mrs. Roberts
reiterated that peace. perfect peace, pre-

STORE THIEVES IN
NET, SAY POLICE
Four Women Arrested in
Georgetown.

With the arrest last night of four col
ored women, and developments discIos-
ing that nearly $1,000 worth of dry goods
and notions stolen from downtown de-
partment stores during the Christmas
shopping have been sold to smaller
dealers in the same wares, especially in
and about Georgetown, the police believe
they have in custody a clever gang of
shoplifters.
The women, who live in Blagden's alley
northwest, were arrested by Detectives
Walsh and Stringfellow, Of the Seventh
and Third precincts, respectively, last
night. They were taken to the Third
Precinct. and as yet no charge has been
placed against them, though the police
say that the arrangements OF several
department stores have identified more
than 500 worth Of articles sold by them
as property stolen from their establish
ments.
Not until yesterday afternoon did the
police positively identify any OF the prop
erty sold by the women as stolen goods.
Walsh and Stringfellow ''shadowed'' two
of the women yesterday morning, and
noticed them leave a Seventh street store.
They followed them to the r street shop
ping district, and noticed that after they
had visited several stores in that vicin-

During the afternoon the other two

they were caught disposing OF property

VELT Is
AGAINST TREATY
Peculiarly ContemptibleHy
pocriSy,' Says Colonel.

New York, Dec. 29-On the eve Of Mr..
Tafts arrival in New York to take part
in the great peace dinner. Theodore
Roosevelt, in the Outlook to-day, comes
out with long editorial which. in effect,
Is bitter criticism of the man who sue
ceeded him as President.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who declined to have
anything to do with the dinner at which
Taft and Carnegie are to be the principal
figures points out the attitude OF pecu-
liarly contemplate hypocrisy shown by
the administration in abrogating the Rus
sian treaty one minute and the next
working with might and main to perfect
a universal arbitration treaty.
Col. Roosevelt wonders why, II Taft
and Congress are so keen for arbitration
they didn't arbitrate with Russia instead
OF abrogating the treaty.
Col Roosevelt announced to-day that
he would decline to make public in fu-
ture the names OF persons VINO should
call upon him, "and anything that they
may say or not say
The colonel had nothing to say upon
any other topic, or. as he put it:
Gentlemen, I have nothing to say on
any subject-not a word. Nothing to say
and not half a minute to say 1t in"
The reception room OF Col. Roosevelt's
office was crowded with visitors, many
of whom had invitations to banquets
which they presented to him. He de-
clined them all.
Here is Col. Roosevelt's treaty editorial:
II cordially approve the action taken
by Congress in abrogating the Russian
treaty. because men must vote and act
on the situation as it actually confronts
them; and in the actual event Congress-
men had but two alternatives, namely,
to abrogate the treaty, or to submit to
the continuance OF conditions which
have become intolerable to our national
self-respect, and which represent a con-
tinuing wrong, especially to American
citizens of Jewish faith.
II still believe that in so serious a
matter 1t would have been well first to
endeavor to secure a decision by The
Hague court on the Interpretation OF
the existing treaty. 1 am confident that
such a decision would of necessity have
been in our favor, and, II so, 1t would
have enabled Russia to retire from an
untenable position with good grace and
no loss OF self-respect-an object that
should always be held in view in dealing
with any foreign nation with which at
any time we have difficulties; while IL the
decision as to the Interpretation of the
clause in question had been adverse to US
we would then at once have abrogated
the treaty, and have been clearly right
in so DOING
