 Senator Root of New York is leading the
 opposition to a clique of men in Washing
 tons most famous social organization
 who are attempting to discount brains and achievement In favor of social perquisites and glamor
 When the fact came out about two weeks ago that the governing body of the ex- elusive organization had refused admis- sion to Representative Martin w. Little- ton, whose name was put. up by Senator Newlands and Thomas Nelson Page off cia1 Washington asked in vain for the cause that prompted their action. The
 members of the board intimated that Lit tleton was too aggressive politician" aJ1 1f.. the Littleton episode came the announce ment that Senator Watson of West Vir- ginia had been turned down because, rumor had it, he was a self-made man. The last member of Congress to be re- fused admission was Speaker Champ Clark His name was not actually placed
 before the board, as his friends received
 an intimation that it would receive unfav- orable action.
 The membership of the club ranges all the way from the President of the United States to real estate and insurance sales
 men. P. Lee Phillips, an active member of the club, is clerk in the library of Congress. Eugene Bibb Wills, another ac- tive member, Is clerk in the Geological Survey.
 The first episode of national importance which the club furnished was when Ad-
 
 lowing the Schley court of inquiry. Ad-
 miral Dewey submitted a minority report
 in which he praised Schey as the hero of Santiago and held him blameless of mis- conduct. His two fellow members on the court censored Schley. An internal dis pute in the organization resulted in the
 admiral of the navy resigning. He has been in tho club house but little since. Following this came the refusal of the board of governors to act favorably on General Corbin's application. A number of ugly rumors eminated from the club
 about the old warrior His friends were
 indignant. They withdrew his applica- ton.
