WOMEN INDULGE IN
FRIENDLY GAME At CHICAGO
While the Politicians Gamble Over
the Presidency Their Wives Seek
More Lucrative Returns-The
Roof the Limit.

Chicago, June 11.-Several of the
wives of the national committeeman
and widely known politicians attend
ing the Republican convention orga-
nized little whist game early last
week in a quiet room in the Congress
hotel and gradually it grew into an
auction whist game with stiff stakes.
Lately they turned it into old-fash-
toned poker. taking the limit Off and
tossing it out into Lake Michigan.
Rumors of big game have run
about the lobby of the Congress for
several days and Frank Repetto,
house detective, has been jumping
about watching every suspicious gath
ering of women when they We're per-
fectly quiet and ordered nothing but
ice water.
Took Off the Limit.
The absence of the limit means that
woman can play her hand for ten
cents or $1,000 without violating any
of the rules of the game.
One woman, a charming society
leader IN an eastern metropolis ana
the wife of one of the convention Of
ticials, let the whole story out when
she handed a bellboy a poker chip in
stead of a quarter as a tip, and, in
asmuch as she played fair and told
the whole story, ii wouldn't be fair
to mention her name.
In attendance at the game We're the
wives of two western senators, the
wife of one of the officials of the ma
tional committee, the wives of three
western politicians of note-all three
of them members of the steam roller
crew-and one charming little Chicago
woman who has done much toward
making the stay of the visitors in
Chicago pleasant.
Just Friendly Game, You Know.
1T is just a friendly game, you
know" said the woman who told. "Of
course there is no limit. If there is
a low limit, you know, they always
call and one can't bluff. Only one
woman lost very much and she can
afford it. She had lots of fun"

BALTIMORE [OOKSUP
MENTION OF OLLIE JAMES As
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN STARTS
THINGS HuBBLiNG..
A COMBINATION MAY Be FORMED
Clark Men Seem to Be In Control Of
Democratic National Committee
An Alliance Between Friends Of
Other Candidates Expected.

Washington, June 11.-Signs of i'm
pending storm blackened the Demo-
cratic horizon, following an announce
ment from national Clark headquar.
tiers that Speaker Clark's friends ex-
pect Ollie James, of Kentucky, United
States senator-elect,, an avowed Clark
man, to be elected temporary chair
man of the Baltimore convention. The
election of James has been made the
first step in the Clark program for
controlling the convention.
Among opponents of Clark the plan
to allow James to deliver the key
note speech" is viewed as an attempt
to show Clark's controlling strength
at the very outset. A test on the
point seems certain to be forced in the
Democratic national committee, and
possibly in the convention itself, be-
tween Clark's forces on the one hand
and the supporters of all the remain
ing presidential candidates on the
other hand.

expressed preference for Senator
James O'Gorman of New York. Thorn
as NJ. Owen, manager of the Under
wood headquarters, and the support
ers of Representative Underwood
generally, refused to discuss the mat
ter, but there is every prospect that
the Wilson and Underwood people,
together with the Harmon, Marshall
and Baldwin elements, and the New
York influence, will unite for O'Gor-
man against James.
Fred T. Dubois, manager of the ma
tional Clark headquarters, sponsored
the statement that Clark favors
James. and Dubois felt confident
majority of the Democratic national
committee will propose James name
to the convention.
Will Show CIark's Strength.
The committee has the function OF
tentatively choosing the temporary
chairman, subject to the approval 0.
the delegates in the convention. If
the committee recommends James the
action will be considered as demon
strating Clark's control of that body.
Reports are circulated that the New
York delegation is likely to back Will
son, and it was noted that Daniels,
McGraw and Salisbury all are Wilson
men. The Clark people now believe
they are powerful enough to designate
the temporary chairman.

Chicago, June 1.-THE contest for
two places on the delegation at large
from kentucky has been decided for
the Taft men by the Republican ma
tional committee. The vote was IS
to II.
The First District contest was de-
cided unanimously for the Taft dele.
gates.
The Taft delegates-at-large seated
by the committee are: Senator w. o..
Bradley, James Breathitt, w. D. Coch-
ran and }. E. Wood. Only two OF the
seats at large We're contested, the
unseated Roosevelt delegates bling Ed
6 O'Rear and Leslie Coombs.
Following the precedent already es'
tablished the Taft members of the
committee permitted the Roosevelt
contestants to submit affidavits, but
they were not read before the vote
was taken.
The result in the First Kentucky
district foreshadowed the seating OF
the Taft delegates in the Second and
Fourth districts, where the Roosevelt
men said similar arguments would be
made.

The time consumeain the presenta-
ton of the Indiana contests before
the national committee made it
question whether more than Kentucky
contests could be finished at once.
Unless the Kentucky and Louisiana
cases can be cleared up, it is prob
able the committee will be forced into
night sessions to dispose of the many
contests before the convention meets
in week.
The sixteen contested delegates
from Kentucky held the right of way
when the committee began work.
Two deleg at-large and two each
from the First, Second, Fourth, Sew

tests which We're to be heard during

Moroccan CorruptIon,

Two main evils in Morocco are the
corruption of Moorish officials and the
degradation of Moorish women. The
Moorish officials are inadequately paid
and are liable at any moment to be
stripped and cast into prison at the
caprice OF their overload. The natural
result is that they make hay while the
sun shines, and by their "pickings"
provide against the evil days which
are almost certain to be in store for
them. Says a writer: Before they
take office they may be honest and
kindly men, but the knowledge that
they may at any moment fall victims
20 a higher power quickly corrupts
hem. and they proceed to do as they
ire likely to be done by. Each OIL
cial preys on the one below him. but
while each. for short time at least,
enjoys power and prosperity, the poor
peasant is squeezed increasingly"
