:, the Cause. {

With only week remaining before the
beginning OF the new fiscal year July |,
the delay in making a law of the District

who has turned in about ST0.On worth OF
acquisitions for food supplies for the va
rious penal and charitable institutions
which will be needed at the, beginning Of
the month.
Under the organic Law The Commits
sioners cannot let contracts that have
not been provided for by appropriat ions.
AS result. the board Of charities
acquisitions are being held up. The board
usually turns in Its acquisitions two
weeks before the beginning of each
month. SO that no delay will he expert
enced in obtaining the food supplies. but.
until the appropriation bill has become
law. the commissioners will he pre-
vented from awarding contracts, and each
day of delay is making the situation
more acute.

Talk Of Dark Horse.

Talk of Dark Horse.
The Carr-Darr crowd are perfectly will
ing to let the national committee wipe out
the entire District democratic mess and
choose a national committeeman from
Washington from among those not now in
the running. The national. committee
can do that. as all elections to this COM
mittee are subject to its approval. There
was considerable talk around the Hobbies
today that the big committee is sick and
tired of the squabbles among the Dis
trict democrats and is getting ready to
spank somebody good and hard by placing
dark horse on the membership roll,
That spanking would hurt the Newman
ambition, II is declared, worse than it
would hurt the Costello democrats, and
the Carr-Darr Or uninstructed, democ-
racy. claims it wouldn't hurt them at all.
The CarrDarr faction makes a charge
before the national committee that the
other two factions have done all sorts of
irregular things, that the bolts and scraps
between Costello and Newman are ruin
ing the party, and that the people are
tired of it. Harry E. Davis speech will
probably bristle with old-fashioned de-
mocracy when he starts in to do a little
|steam-roller work in favor of the Carr
Darr delegation
Claimed by Costello.
Costello's claim is that majority of
the sixty-siX delegates to the city con-
vention were elected from his party. that
Newman had fifteen, and that the Carr
Darr, or uninstructed, people elected five
or six. His chief claim that the Newman
delegates are falsely elected lies in the
condition of two of the ballot boxes.
A paper prepared by ex-senator Sulli-
van relates that the boxes were snatched
from the embroled judges by policemen.
and that when finally returned fifty
votes were missing from one box and
