GAGE TAKEN UP
ON BRISTOW BILL
Progressive Democrat Says Local
Party Needs a New
Leader.

Declaring that the opposition Of Edwin
A. Newman. Democratic national COM
mitteeman for the District, TO the Bris-
tow bill. providing for primaries In the
District. is the strongest evidence that
the local Democrats ought to have a
change OF leadership, T. r. Monahan,
secretary OF the Progressive Democratic
Club. yesterday took issue with the ma
tional committeeman.
Mr.. Newman criticises Senator Bris-
tow" said Mr. Monahan. because he did
not consult the people who are to be
governed by the Bristow bill before he
introduced the measure. How could
Senator Bristow consult the voters of
Washington about his bill? Why did not
Mr.. Newman. as the titular leader OF
the District Democrats, and Sidney Bic
ber. as the leader OF the local Republi-
cans. consult Senator Bristow, present
their objections TO his bill. and thus
secure US. an honest primary law?
There has not been an honest primary
in the District for twenty years. Even
at the last national primaries. when there
was very little open opposition 10 Mr..
Bryan, after the regular primaries were
held. a bolting faction held their own
primaries. sent a contesting delegation to
the national convention, and two OF their
number were seated
Mr.. Newman also opposes the Bristow
bill because II places both primaries un-
der the control of the District Commits
sioners. That is certainly a strange OBJ
lection. The police. fire, and health de-
partments. and the assessment Of taxes
are also under the direct control OF the
Commissioners, but no one ever heard
him make any objection to that"

DIVERSE VIEWS OF
TEXAS SENATORS
Culberson Is for Woodrow Wilson
and Bailey Will Work
Against Him.

The Texas Senators are divided on the
question OF the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency.
Il have no hesitation in saying" re-
marked Senator Culberson. in the course
Of long statement made public last
night, that believe we should NOM
mate Gov. Wilson. Of New Jersey, for
President.
IT can leave Washington without
neglecting my public duties,'' said Sem
ator Bailey last night, Il shall go home
within she next thirty days to assist in
organizing a campaign against Gov.
Wilson, because he does not, in my judg-
ment, fifty represent Democratic princi-
pies"
These interviews were made public on
account Of their possible bearing upon
the fight in Oklahoma for Democratic
delegates. There are thousands OF Tex
ans in Oklahoma, and both Speaker
Clark and Gov Wilson are struggling
for the delegation. Senator Bailey's in
terview was obtained to hurt the Wilson
cause, although he is not for Clark. To-
night Senator Hoke Smith. who was Sec
retary of the Interior when Oklahoma

ment indorsing Wilson. The question as
to candidates will be definitely decided

is not true. Already the banquet com

tics, and members OF the bar and bench
will form part OF the assembled guests.

G. 0. P. MAN HEARS
DEMOCRATS PLANS
Representatve Green Invades Cau-
cus-Underwood Chemical
Schedule Approved. ,

At a caucus Of the House Democrats
held last night approval was given the
Underwood bill proposing revision Of
the chemical schedule of the Payne-Ald-
rich tariff law. Efforts made TO amend
the measure failed. Representatives Fos-
ter, Of Illinois, and McGillicuddy, of
Maine, who are doctors Of medicine, OBJ
jected to the provision doubling the Gus
toms rates on habit-forming drugs. They
insisted that such drugs were used for
legitimate medical purposes, and that 1t
would be unwise to increase the present
rates. The motions made by Drs. FOs-
ter and McGilIicuddy were overwhelming
" defeated.
The Democrats were deeply absorbed
in a discussion Of party affairs at the
caucus when the discovery was made
that a Republican member was present.
The interloper was Representative Green.
CT Massachusetts,. Ollie James was in
the midst of an jmpassioned address de-
nunciatory Of Republican maladminis-
tratiOn when some one shouted, Hold up
there: there is an enemy in the camp"
All eyes were at once turned toward the
Republican side Of the chamber where
Representative Green was seated In soli-
tary granduer.
Gee whiz!' he exclaimed, 'T didn't
know this was a caucus. ! was seated In
the cloakroom enjoying a cigar when
I heard the roll being called. / came in
to answer my name. Gentlemen i beg
your pardon, and assure you that all
have heard here will be kept in the
strictest confidence" .
Then Mr.. Green departed and the Dem
ocrats resumed their discussions.
At lively meeting Of the Committee
on Rules yesterday Representative
Henry, Of Texas, chairman, was forced
to bow to the will OF the majority on
the money trust proposition. Mr.. Henry
sought to incorporate an amendment in
the Pujo resolution authorizing an in
quiry into the affairs OF the money trusts
which. the majority belieyed, would have
defeated the will of the Democratic mem
bership on this subject expressed at the
party caucus held last week As a re-
suit of yesterdays developments the
Rules Committee will to-day report the
Pujo resolution, which provides for an
inquiry with a view to the passage OF
remedial legislation.

TWO CLASSICS GIVEN.
"Romeo and JuIIct" and "The
Merchant of VenIce' at Belasco.

"Romeo and JuIict" and "The
Merchant Of Venice at BeIasco.
An exquisite performance Of Romeo
and Juliet. was given my Sotheru and
MarIowe at the Belasco Theater yes
terday afternoon The acting honors are
more evenly divided between the CO.
stars this season than before; hitherto
Miss Marlowe's Juliet has been distinct
ly superior to Mr.. Sothern's Romeo. Yes
terday,. however, the Sothern impersona-
ton was almost fiawless. He did not
give the touch of melancholy and intro
spection that had formerly marred his
work, in the opinion Of some critics. He
played with romantic fire and ardor. and
the result was an enactment OF IA
nous classic which will live long in the
memory of those who were privileged
to see It.
In the evening the bill was The Mer-
chant OF Venice" with Mr.. Sothern CIV
ing his now famuos Interpretation OF
ShyIock. and with Miss Marlowe lend
ing more charm and spiritual grace to
the role OF Portia than any other ac-
tress of the present generation. : The
trial scene was again made a liv-
ing. vital. pregnant episode, glowing not
so much with power as with q human
note-a n e which makes the Jew less
savage In his revenge and more UNDER
standable to the theatergoer Of the TWEEN
tieth century.
Both productions were of the Sothern-
Marlowe standard. y Frederick Lewis

and Juliet was brilliant The audiences
at botL performances filled the BeIasco

Charges.
NOT COURT MARTIALED

The case of Mai Beecher B. Ray now
under Investigation by the House Com.
mites on Expenditures in the War De-
partment, has become malodorous. The
committee yesterday gave out letter
written by Mai. Rays clerk to Paymas-
ter General whipple, IN which he asked
a change OF duty because his wife had
confessed TO him concerning her intimate
relations with Ray. The letter went into
detail as to the occurrences, and said
that Ray had threatened his clerk with
discharge II he made any protest. The
clerk asked that no publicity be given to
the matter, In order to save his wife's
name. Gen. Whipple responded that. un-
der the circumstances, II formal appli-
cation for a transfer was made II would
be given prompt and favorable considera-
ton.
Later the clerk wired that he had had
conversations with "aIl the parties con-
cerned." and that while the facts were
rs stated. "and while,r he added. Il
can never be the same to either party"
he thought it best to let the matter rest.
Was OmcIaIIy Informed.
Afterward, in September, 1910. Mai.
Ray was officially Informed that he was
charged with Illicit relations. These re-
ports" said the letter, are of such
gravity as to call in question your char
acter as an officer and q gentleman, for
II the allegations be true. your conduct
shall be characterized as reprehensible
and deserving OF the seyerest condemna-
ton. Should you desire to take steps TO
clear your record OF these imputations,
you will be afforded every proper facil-
jty to that end"
On September Mai. Ray answered the
reprimand in a letter addressed TO Brig.
Gen. A. L. Mills, in which he said:
Since my acquaintance with Mrs. Blank.
in so far as my knowledge extends. she
has always conducted herself as a lady,
Considered AmenabIe to Trial.
Brig. Gen. Mills. in forwarding this
letter to the Adjutant General. comment
ed that the failure OF Maj. Ray TO ask
for an investigation Of the imputations
against his character makes him amen
able TO trial"
1t was after this had taken place that
Paymaster General Whipple went to-
Beverly, Mass, and took the matter up
with President Taft. The Presidents
letter. already made public, suggesting
that Mai Ray be not court-msrtialed, to
save the honor OF a married woman and
the army, was then written. Maj. Ray
was an active Republican worker IN the
campaign Of 1908.

This Shampoo Stops
Hair from Falling

"Alkali shampoos will cause hair to
grow duh and lifeless. split at ends and
fall out" says Mrs. Mae Martyr in the
Tacoma Record. "and until hurtful
soaps or mixtures are discontinued
there can be no relief. A very fine
shampoo mixture can be made by dis
solving a teansponful OF canthrox in a
cup of hot water. This should be
poured on the head slowly and rubbed
up we'll and It will create an abundance
of white. creamy lather.
After a canthrox shampoo the hair
dries evenly and quickly. while the
scalp IS left clean, plant. and healthy.
It Is not necessary TO shampoo every
week when conthrox Is employed, be-.
cause It's effects are quick and lasting
Continued using canthrox incures a
clean, healthy. scalp and an abundance
OF rich. glossy. attractive hair easy to
do up and OF an evenness in color"

port on the bill introduced by Repre-
sentative Ben Johnson. OF Kentucky,

chase, as the value OF the land Will

rounding property is improved. The

changes in the plan for the permanent
system Of highways in the portion Of the
District bounded by Nevada avenue,
Broad Branch road. Rock Creek Park.
Utah avenue, Northampton street, and
Nebraska avenue. The change in the
highway system is desired so that the

designated may conform 10 the topog-
raphy OF the land through which they
pass. The Commissioners deem this
change desirable.
IL will be necessary TO condemn 11.53
acres OF land for the extension OF Keo-
kuk street. The value OF the land Is
estimated at S22,loo. The bill provides
for the payment OF the cost OF the land
from the District revenues. TO be repaid

cent property.
