West Rutland Man May Defeat
Committeeman Browne
LATTER LOST HIS OWN CITY
Burke Carried Montpelier Caucus by a
Close Vote and Barre Caucus by Sub
stantial Majority-Many Delegates
Not Instructed on the Matter.

The failure of Democratic National
Committeeman Thomas II. Browne Of
Rutland to carry his own city and the
victories OF james E. Burke of West
Rutland in some of the larger cities and
towns of Vermont in last nights eau
cuses seems to indicate the supplanting
of the Rutland man as national COM
mitteeman from Vermont.
In the Rutland caucus, Committee
man Browne was defeated by vote
OF 225 to 1913, while in Montpelier the
vote was far closer and in Barre Burke
led by substantial majority. Doubt
less great many OF the caucuses failed
to instruct their delegates on this mat
ter, so that it will bring the fight to
the floor of the convention, with Burke
seemingly in the lead.

Ball Park is Raided To Get
A Quorum in House

Washington, D. c., May 10
Determined to command quorum

house today ordered its sergeant
alarms to raid the American
League ball park. The orders
were carried out. SO were more
than a score of congressman whom
the officers found roofing" for
their favorite team. A fiotilla Of
taxieabs brought the pris oners
back to the house where they were
subjected to q haxlng by their
more dutiful colleagues.
"What's the score? Why didn't

was demanded of the first batch

Something fell from his hat as
he waved it in protest at his perse-

check issued at the park entrance.
The trouble started during con-

when Representative Roddenbery,
of Georgia, democrat, offered an
amendment providing for the
segregation of negro civil war
veterans and the erection of Jim
Crow soldiers home for their ac-
commodation. 1t was voted down
by the slim gathering in the cham
