Chapter, of Texas. Among the guests
invited to meet Mrs. McSherry were
the local members of the General Dab
ney H. Maury Chapter. which is the
Virginia division of the U. d. c.; but
for reasons unknown they failed to
avail themselves ct the opportunity to
pay their respects to their national
head. When members of the hostess
chapter were asked for reasons of this
singular oversight ON the part of the
descendants of the F. F. VS., they
were extremely reticent and pleaded
ignorance of the cause.

GERS of the Philadelphia Chapter,
headed by the president, Mrs. William
X. Beard, and among the guests were
Mrs Lewis Hartman. Mrs. Arthur AL
len, Mrs. Julian M. Solomon, Mrs G.

they are so greatly needed, and to
further this work is the present aim

/. ON BRIBERY CHARGE
Five Members of the Ohio Legislature
Accused--Many Others Are
implicated.

Columbus, O., May Alive mem
bers of the Quo legislature we're in
dicted for soliciting brides by the
Franklin county grand jury.
Although the names of four had
been mentioned in the newspapers in
advance, all five of them were in a
lawyers Office when the grand jury
reported. They Immediately went to
the court house and furnished bond.
Other features in the developments
included the appointment of an en-
tirely new steering committee in the
house. The old one was depleted by
designations. Dr. George B. Nye, Of
Pike county, was the last to hand in
his resignation. Tuesday six other
members of the committee had desert
ed him, and when their designations
came up for consideration a motion
was made to accept also that of DR..
Nye, although it had not been Of
fered.
Nye, who Saturday caused the ar
rest of Burns detectives on charges
of bribing him, was among those in
dicted. His bond was placed at $10,-
900, as was also that of Sergeant-at-
Arms r. j. Dyegle, of Erie county, al
legged go-between. Dyegle, it was re-
ported, was about to confess. He was
sent for by Burns and spent consider
able time at the court house, but later
when asked If he had been promised
immunity declared he had nothing to
confess.
In addition to Nye one other repre-
sentative was indicted, A. G. Lowrey,
of Lawrence county, son-in-law of Col
onel H. A. Marting, rich manufact-
urer. Lowrey, like Nye, is physi-
clan
There were three senators indicted:
George K Cetone, of Montgomery
county, a fruit grower; Isaac E. Huff
man, of Butler county, a lawyer; l..
r. Andrews of Lawrence county, a
lawyer. The bonds of all save Nye
and Dyegle were fixed at $4,000 Surety
bonds were supplied.
Andrews and Lowrey, both from
Lawrence county, are Republicans.
The others are Democrats.
1t is said that startling confessions
involving many members of the legis-
lature are in possession of w. j.
Burns, head of the detective agency
employed to uncover graft in the leg
islature. Burns has spent practically
all of his time in examining witnesses
who may be called before the grand
jury.
1t was learned that some of those
implicated in the Doodle disclosures
were weakening and were now ready
to tell Burns the truth about the cor
rupt practices.
County detectives are keeping a
close watch on the implicated legisla-
tors to see that none of them attempt
to leave the city. Immediate arrests
may follow any such attempt.

GOV. GLASSCOCK
Hon. Charles w. Dillon Thinks A Pri-
mary Law Should BE
Enacted.

Charleston, w. Va, May 4.--For-
iner State Tax Commissioner Chas.
w. Dill-n, writing from his home at
Fayetteville to- Governor w. e. Class
cock endorses direct primari IS ami
citing various reasons why the
State executive was JUSTIFIED in cali
ing an extra session of the legisla-
ture for the twcfold purpose Of pass
ing a primary election law and
Strengthening the corrupt practices
act
Mr.. Dillon, IN a strong statement
explains that the cause is urgent, that
the people have demanded a more
progressive system for the nomina-
ton of their candidates FIR public
office, and that the failure of the two
regular sessions of the legislature
last to enact primary law in COM
pliance with party platforms and the
demand of the people, made an ex-
Ii a session imperative
Mr.. Dillon says that he feels re-
assured in the governor making the
call, that the executive must have
every assurance that bill can be
passed. The matter of a primary law
he states Is urgent and puts the mem
beers of the legislature in position
where they must answer direct to the
people fer their votes on this ques-
ton, and it will be for them and the
orfyr t~,A trnI RI
answer for the result. Continuing he
says:
Certain leaders and influences in
both parties have heretofore prevent
cd primary election. Leaders and
influences that did not always ap-
pear in open, and who could not be
| located or made to take their full
share of the responsibility. These
must now give way, CT come out in
the light and take a stand, and this
is all the people want They will do
the rest.
For a party to be long successful,
the people must have confidence in
| integrity OF the methods used in Sc
lecting candidates for public Office.
The tax observance of the law now
in force, have had the tendency to
destroy the confidence CT the people
in the methods employed for select
ing candidates for all public offices,
from the highest to the lowest. This
must not continue and the people will
heartily endorse the course you have
taken to give them fair, honest we'll
considered primary election law. The
result and effect of such law, prop
erly enforced, will have the tendency
to raise the standard of all candidates
fer office, to give the people high
appreciation of the rights OF the
franchise and greater assurance and
confidence in the administration of
public affairs, greater love. loyalty
and patriotism for all public insti-
tutions a1d cur government at large.
1T should be remembered that tn
people should have a good primary
election law or none. The opportun-
ity will soon be at hand, and | bope

In the field. as 1t has no regulations to
govern amateur base ball, such az has
Washington and Richmond, and how 1t
would pick its team would be q d1mcu1t
matter to settle.
While many Of the amateur leagues
are scheduled to end their season near
the middle of the present month. it Is not
probable that any of them will do so. as
the many postpOnements and games TO
be played over will cause the schedule TO
be heightened to at least August 1.
The new team. the Potomac Electric
Power Company, which has just obtained
franchise in the Commercial League, Is
composed in the main Of high school
players. Meyers, Howard and Norris, all
three did good work in the series this
spring. Timanus, who is also playing on
the club, is an old college man, having
played with the Maryland Agricultural
College for two seasons. The four men
form the backbone of the electric power
company's team. In yesterdays game
they got eight Of the eleven hits made
by the team.
An almost entirely new team was pres
ent on the grounds in the Suburban
League yesterday, representing the Park
View team. which lately withdrew from
that circuit. The new club In its first
contest played tie game with Bright
wood.

GAME IS DECLARED OFF
IN INDEPENDENCE LEAGUE
Contest Won by St. Martin From St. Pad
Eliminated Because Of Playing !.
of an Ineligible Man.

Tho game in the Independence League
last Tuesday. in which st. Martins de-
feated the st. Paul team, has been de-
clared of by President Roakes OF that
circuit, in view Of the fact that the st.
Martins team used Player Beckert, who
Is under suspension by the commission
for not having paid the fine which was
levied upon him while a member Of the
Brookland team in the Suburban League.
President Roakes stated that he did not
think that it was a just action toward
the st. Martins club to forfeit the game.
as that teams manager had not been no.
titled of the suspension, and had no
knowledge Of 1t. The game will be play
ed over.
Beckett is the member Of the Brookland
team who was fined by the Suburban
League officials some time ago because
of uncouth conduct on the field, and
which, in the main, caused the disband-
ment Of the Brookland club.
The punishment which has been melted
out to the players in the Sunday School
League who tried to disrupt the organiza-
ton is hardly severe enough. Under any
conditions it should be unlawful to buck
organization, and the severest OF penal
ties should be imposed when such Is the
case, especially so when there is little
cause for the action, and nothing to
be gained by 1t except the qualification
of a personal grudge. Any organization
which Is to be run by one Of its integral
parts had better get out Of business. The
other members of the Ingram team
showed the right sort Of spirit in get
ting back into the game, and their action
in doing so Is deserving of much COM
mendation.
Walker, who has been playing with the
st. Martins club In tho Independence
League is DESTROYS of obtaining his re-
lease from that team. so that he can
join the Manhattan nine. Mr.. Roakes.
the president of the league. refused to
sign the release Of the player, because
he said that 1t would be weaken
ing a weak club to strengthen strong
one and that is against the policy OF
the league. He said that the race at
present between the Manhattan and Ken
dal clubs is close, with the Manhattan
club in the lead. and it would not be
the right thing to do II he weakened q
weak club to give the Manhattan ag-
sregation a better chance for the nag.
A meeting of the committee which has
been appointed to discuss the post-season
and intercity series is scheduled Tor this
evening Just what conclusions Will be
arrived at 1t is impossible to state, but
one thing has almost been definitely set
tied, and that is that the intercity series
will be between this city and Richmond

almost impossible for it to place q team

ANOTHER BR|T|SHER
PROVES POOR BOXER
Smith, English Heavyweight, Is
Helpless in Front of Flynn,
a SeC0nd-Rater.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 14.-"Jewey" Smith
came long distance to get beating
when he steamed from England for these
shores. For all that he showed last night
at the National Sporting Club in ten
round bout with "Porlzy" Flynn Of Bos-
ton 1t must be that he learned his boxing
by course in a correspondence school
and had forgotten his lessons. It is hard
to dignity the thing by calling it boxing
bout, and to call 1t fight would take a
terrible stretch OF the imagination.
Flynn. who is no particular past master
in the art of ring strategy himself, was
so far superior to the Briton that it was
a joke from first to last Smith knew alb
solutely nothing but how to take punish
ment without being knocked out. All he
did was to rush in and clinch or once in
while try a wild overland swing that
was more a slap than a punch.
One round was just the same as that be-
fore 1t. Smith would rush in and Flynn
would hook an uppercut to his face or
hold him off with his left and pound his
kidneys with his right with blows that
sounded like sledge hammer dropping
into pan of dough. Flynn had Smith s
back raw, and II he did not break a few
of the Briton's ribs and seriously disar-
range his interior 1t is a miracle.
The Boston fighter had all the better
Of height and reach. Smiths head came
up only to Flynn's chin, but he was near
ly as broad as he was long. The Briton
was SO muscle bound that he was too
slow to get out of his own way. Had not
Flynn taken things very leisurely, he
might have stopped Smith long before the
tenth. AS 1t was he gave the visitor q
terrific beating.
