With practically all the delegation
from West Virginia of the last Con-
gress turned out and back in private
life, and with a Republican President
unwilling TO act upon the recommen-
dation of Democratic Congressman or
Senators, the question has arisen as to
who is TO distribute the Federal pa
tronage IN the Senate. Former Sena-
tor Scott is understood to have gwen
it out that he was in charge of the pa
tronage, but when on his recommen-
dation the nomination OF Edward O..
Harwood, to be postmaster ut Moore
| field was sent 10 the Senate by ttlr
President, former Representatives tur-
giss rushed Immediately to the White
House, explained that the namesof r..
N. Locke had already been sent to the
Senate by the President, but had not
been confirmed, and the President re-
called the nomination Of HARDWOOD.
From this il would seem that Mr..
Scott, in spite of his choice claim to be
the official patronage dispenser for the
administration, is not by any means
the whole thing with the administra-
ton when it comes to parelling.
Senators WATSON aud Chiffon and
their wives were guests of President
Taft at a dinner at the White House
last Saturday night. The President in :
vited all the Senators aud their wives,
80 that he might become acquainted
with them. The dinner was purely a
social affair, no political importance
being attached to it at all.
Second district postoflices are still
causing the Republicans all kinds OF
trouble. They caused Representative
Sturgiss trouble when he was in Con-
gress and they are still proving an an
noyance TO the Republicans. Senator
Scott, who has been posing as the of
fclal dispenser of Federal patronage
for West Virginie since the State was
turned over TO Democratic Congress.
man, has found that he is not the
whole thing by any means. In fact,
while he induced the President to sen d
to the Senate the nomination OF Ed
ward o. Harwood to pe postmaster at
Moorefield, he found that Mr.. Stur-
giss had sufficient influence with the
President to have the name OF Mr..
Harwood held up while the nominal
ton of K. N. Locke, which was sent
to the Senate last February, it is again
under consideration at the request OF
Mr.. Sturgiss.
The Morgantown postoffice is caus-
ing trouble for Mr.. Scott and Mr..
Sturgiss? Mr.. Scott has recommended
the appointment of Frank Bowman
for postmaster, while Mr.. Sturgiss
wants the present postmaster >. A.
Posten, retained in office. The outcome
of these two postoffice fights will show
conclusively whether Mr.. Scott IS to
be looked upon as the dispenser OF pa
tronage for the State or not.
In the meantime, Congressman
Brown is not consulted by the Presl.
dent or the Postmaster General IL re-
gard to any appointments. He was
selected by the people Of the district to
look after all matters usually cared Tor
by member of Congress, which in
Guides the selection of postmasters In
his district. But the Republican Pres
ldent would rather call upon the de-
feated former Senator and form er Con-
gresham for advice as to the selection
of postmasters than the man chosen

WIRES DOWN IN STORM.
Havoc Wrought In Many Parts Of
New York State.

NEW YORK, May "A severe electri.
cal storm made playthings of telephone
and telegraph wires throughout New
York state last night. The local weather
bureau predicts continued high winds for
the next twenty-four hours and II is
likely that communication by wire will be
badly crippled.
From New York to Rochester there was
but one telegraph wire working for q
time {ast night. At Ithaca hailstorm
caused damage to property and the loss
of one life. At Syracuse several houses
were blown down and the city was in
darkness all night.
In southwestern New York the wind
attained hurricane violence and wires
are down IN all directions today. The
property loss will be very heavy. The ST
James Hotel at Cuba. y. Y, was I'M

DISCUSS MERGER PLAN
FOR BIG CIVIC BODIES
Board of Trade Directors Fail
to Act-Another. Meeting
Next Monday.

Feeling ran high during the discussion
of the proposed merger Of the Board of
Trade and the Chamber of Commerce at a
meeting Of the directors of the Board OF
Trade yesterday afternoon. The friends
and opponents Of the plan spoke their
opinions freely. Some members Of the
directorate of the board are also members
of the board Of directors of the cham
ber and the latent antagonism between
the two bodies was evident
While the meeting adjourned without
taking action on the proposition to con-
solidate the two organizations, President
George II. Harries announced Immediate
ly after that a special meeting Of the
board OF directors to consider the mer-
ger suggestion would be called for next
Monday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. The
directors may at that time vote whether
or not to submit the proposition to the
entire membership.
The discussion yesterday was precipi-
tated by the reading of resolution adopt
ed by the membership committee to the
effect that. in the opinion of the commit
tee this was no time to consider the con-
solidation of the Board of Trade and
Chamber Of Commerce, and that the agi-
tation was detrimental to both bodies be-
cause prospective members Of both were
waiting to see how the wind blew before
joining.
The reading of this resolution was fol-
lowed by a letter from a volunteer COM
mittee consisting of members of the two
bodies, showing that the vote or aoout
half the combined membership or board
and chamber on the proposed merger had
been taken and that out of ia members
voting 655 had favored the merger. 90
had opposed it and 10 were undecided.
Many of Board Favor It.
It was stated later that in the straw
vote 4O2 members of the Board Of Trade
had voted (about one-half the entire men,
bership) and that 343 had favored the
merger.
The discussion of merger was partic-
mated in by President Harries, D. j.
Callahan, w F. GUIDE, A. c. Moses and
John Joy Edison
If the matter Is to come before the en-
tire Board Of Trade a special meeting vii
be necessary. 1t is said. Any attempt &c
bring the matter up at the regular May
meeting Of the board would be futile. 1t
is said, because OF the long list of COM
mittee reports which must be acted upon
before new business could be taken up.
Takes Up Merger Tomorrow.
The proposed merger will come up for
discussion at a meeting of the board of
directors of the Chamber OF Commerce
tomorrow night. 1t is believed that there
will be practically no opposition to the
proposition.
The board Of directors OF the board
voted to offer a $50 cash prize to be COM
peted for in the National Capital Horse
Show, which opens here Thursday. \
request to appropriate $3.50 for the Gid
den automobile tourists, who start from
here on their long trip TO Canada this
year, was tabled.
The board decided to invite the Pro-
tected Home Circle to hold its conven-
ton next year in Washington The con-
vention will bring about 5000 persons to
this city, it was said.

members of the bar Of the District and
veteran Of the Confederacy, died this
morning at the Providence Hospital, fol-
lowing an attack of nervous prostration
He was seventy-two years old. Arrange
ments have been made by his nephew
Campbell Darlington. for the funeral to
be held Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock
with services in the New York Avenue
Presbyterian Church, of which the de-
ceased was a member.
Maj. Darlington was member OF a
prominent Virginia family. and was a
relative of Gen. Mcdowell. for whose
family he was given the Mcdowell sur
name. Graduated from the Unive sity
of Virginia. Maj. Darlington had barely
attained his majority when the opening
guns of the civil war were fired, and he
promptly enlisted under the banners of
the Confederacy. He was In command Of
a battery which was recruited in and
about Charlottesville. Va, and served
throughout the war with distinction.
Brother in U. S. Service.
While Maj. Darlington gave himself and
his services to the cause of the south,
other members of his family were just as
strongly enlisted in the preservation of
| the Union. and even in war times Maj
Carr1ngton brother was serving as
United States district attorney for the
| District of Columbia. having been ap-
pointed to the post by President Lincoln
Maj. Darlington was taken a prisoner
near the close of the war, and until peace
was declared he was held a prisoner at
Fort Delaware.
After the war Maj. Darlington made
his home in Washington and engaged in
the practice Of the law. He followed
that profession continuously until few
weeks ago, when an attack OF vertigo
presaged his last illness. Maj. Caring
ton was actively interested in the Asso-
citation OF Confederate Veterans, and he
was past commander of Camp No. Ill.
L. G. v. Of the District Of Columbia.
Members OF the association in this city
will attend the funeral in a body.
Judge Mullowny adjourned the District
branch of the Police Court this morning.
as a tribute to the memory of Maj. Car
rington. News of Maj. Darlington s
death was conveyed to the court by AS
sistant Corporation Counsel Gus \.
Schuldt. The deceased attorney in recent
years had practised considerably before
both branches of the Police Court, and
the announcement Of his death was in
the nature of a shock to the officials
there. as few knew that his condition
was critical.
