MAY SETTLE BRIGADE ROW.
Leaders of Factions in Christ Church
Controversy to Compromise.

A cOncilfatory spirit is abroad in the
ranks Of those engaged in the contro-
versy as to whether Christ Episcopal
Church, southeast, is to continue to have
a boys brigade, it was said today. A
number on both sides are endeavoring
to have an agreement reached which
will end all contention.
No bond was filed in the Municipal
Court today by the vestrymen who want
ed to keep the eighty-two rifles of the
brigade company In their possession and
which were in the custody of the United
States marshal following the seizure sew.
eral days ago, and the guns were turned
over to the brigade members, who will hold
them pending the disposition of the suit
to be heard late this month. The rifles
are to be used by the boys this evening
in their drill at a hall near Christ Church
parish house, and they will continue In
possession Of them until the court decides
as to their lawful ownership.
Frederick NJ. Kerby, major of the
Boys Brigade. today expressed a
willingness to do all he can in an effort
to conciliate the differences OF the two
factions.
John Lane Johns, son of Rev. Arthur
Johns, rector Of Christ Church, also
it is his belief the contending parties
should be able to agree on some pro-
gram to eliminate the affairs Of the
parish from the public gaze. AS the
rector is now at a sanitarium at Rock
vile, Md, i'll of nervousness, the atti-
tude of his son, who represents him.
was received with interest by those
in charge of the brigade work.
Maj. Kerby suggested that the COM
pany be allowed to continue its work
in Christ Church parish, and that a
committee Of three or five members OF
the vestry having the interest Of the
work at heart be selected to supervise
the work of the company.
It is considered likely the suit in the
Municipal Court which the brigade lead
ers have brought to obtain possession
of the rifles may be dismissed If this
course is followed, and all matters in
relation to the controversy settled
amicably.

River Men Feel Relieved.

Because Of the absence Of centers Of
disturbance from the weather map. and
the Likelihood that warming sunshine
is likely to soften the ice so that 1t
will easily disintegrate, folks along
the river front are much inclined to
optimism. Not in years has, there been
such an accumulation of heavy ice on
the Potomac. and during the later days
Of the cold snap fears constantly were
expressed that the cold weather might
terminate In a warm rain. thus fore
ing out all of the ice at once. with
certainty Of much damage to shipping
and to property generally along the
Potomac valley.
Danger from miniature bergs drift
ing with the tides. and from ice jams
at bridges and at sharp bends in the
river. OF course. will not be past until
several days OF warm weather have
broken the ice blockade and sent che
CONCEALED mass on its way to the sea.
but the hope now is entertained that
there will be no great rush of high
water from the upper river and it's
tributaries, to put the destructive force
Of irresistible pressure behind the out
going ice.

WARMER WEATHER
ALL OVER COUNTRY
Temperature During Next Few
Days Probably Will Go as
High as Fifty.

Warmer weather prevails all over the
country today. and similar conditions are
predicted for tomorrow and also prob
ably for Sunday. Sunny skies are the
rule almost everywhere. and the weather
man this morning stated no storms are in
sight. Temperatures running above forty
degrees, and possibly even as high as
fifty. are expected for the next couple
Of days, with the lowest probable de-
scent of the mercury each night between
sunset and sunrise fixed at about the
freezing point
Having so many encouraging signs OF
approaching spring in sight, the official
forecaster this morning had little hest
fancy in expressing the belief that the
backbone Of winter is broken. 1t Is con-
sidered decidedly improbable that Jack
Frost will again during the present sea-
son succeed in gathering together the
fractured vertebrate, which now seem to
be scattered all over the weather map,
or in assembling his scattered forces In
sufficient strength to produce other than
occasional and decidedly sporadic 'cold
waves"

Clean Sweep in South Dakota.

The feature OF the South Dakota
primary election was the pitiable
showing made by President Taft,
Never were stronger efforts made In a
campaign than were put forth by the
Taft leaders to stem the tide in that
state against the president. For the
time and effort expended in his be-
half the results were surprisingly small.
Latest returns from the state indi-
cate that the primary was practically
a....clean sweep for the progressives;
that they got about everything they
went after in earnest. A few candi-
dates had the practical support of
both sides. There was only one candi-
superintendent Of instruction and
land commissioner. Two of these con-
ceded offices go to the progressives
and one to former stalwart.
On lieutenant governor, E. L. Abel
had a clear field for some time and 1t
was not the plan OF the progressives
to oppose him. The late entrance of
A. l.. Van Osdel into the race did not
overcome his lead.
Congressman Martin had no serious
opposition and Ira Curtis, who ran
against Burke, made the mistake of
baslng his candidacy on the low plane
of bitter attack on the newspapers
of the state. This is not sufficient
reason for sending any man to con-
gress. Had he made campaign on
the political principles involved, it is
clear now he would have won.
South Dakota won one OF the most
notable progressive victories In It's
history. Taft was showed under, be-
ing practically distanced by both
Roosevelt and La Toilette. Gamble,
the Lorimer senator, was defeated,
Notwithstanding the ropes were
cleverly worked In his favor by divid-
ing the opposition vote among three
candidates. The Richards and Sterl-
ing vote was practically all progress
sive and combined makes large
majority against Gamble.
The Taft forces made strenuous ef-
forts to elect Halliday as national
committeeman, but he was unable to
defeat the faithful and able Thorson.
There were five candidates for rail-
road commissioner, which shows the
determined effort of the railroads to
elect Frank LeCocq. This candidate
ran so poorly, however, that even
with the progressive vote divided
among several candidates, he was de-
feated by ]. S. Murphss
Branson made a good run in the
First district for congress, on his
claim to being progressive. But he
had taken no part In the progressive
and the voters took no

G. A. r. Men
At Mitchell
Colonel Clifford of Canton is Chosen
AS New State
Commander
The Next Meeting Will Be Held
At Aberdeen in
1913

Mitchell, June S-The morning
session of the Grand Army Of the
Republic was devoted to the tranSac-
tion of business matters, which even
tually led up to the election of officers.
There was but very little strife in
selecting the department commander,
in that the friends of O. S. Clifford of
Canton, had paved the way with a
strong support for nomination.
When Colonel Gifford's name was pre-
sented to the convention through the
splendid speech of a comrade in which
the old soldier was placed on Il high
pedestal for the splendid life he had
lived and that his enemies could offer
nothing against him why he should
not be thus hOnored by the Grand
Army. With the conclusion of the
nominating speech delegate after
delegate arose in his seat to second
the nomination of Colonel Clifford
and he seemed to be the proper choice.
Comrade Price was also placed before
the convention as a candidate for
commander. An effort was made to
set aside the rules and make his
election by acclamation. There was
objection interposed, however as a
violation of the rules and Commander
Brown ruled that a vote should be
taken. A fter the vote had been TAX
en- on the Two candidates the election
of Colonel Clifford was made unani-
nous.
The following is the list of officers
elected:

Gamble of South Dakota Is Tenth
of the "Lorimer Senator's" to
Meet Defeat.

Washington, June 6.-The senate
was in session yesterday when the
news was received that Senator
Robert j. Gamble of South Dakota
had been defeated in the primaries.
Mr.. Gamble is the tenth Of the So
called "Lorimer senator's who have
fallen by the wayside: some have been
defeated, and others have announced
their retirement, forced to take this
step, it is charged by the wrath Of
the people following votes for Lori
mer. Senator Kern of Indiana was
addressing the senate in opposition to
Lorimer when the news was flashed
around the cham ber that Mr.. Gamble
had been beaten.
In some respects the senate, during
the Indiana senator's address, present.
ed the appearance of a session of the
Gloom club. In the front row sat the
venerable Senator Cullo.n with bowed
head and clasped hands. Not far
away was Senator Paynter, who paid
the same price for his defense OF Lori
mer and who has not smiled since.
Then there was Senator Foster, who
voted for Lorimer and was defeated
for reelection. Senator Bailey and
Senator Guggenheim, like Senator
Crane, have announced their retire
ment from congress, and Senator
Briggs, like Senators Penrose and
Oliver, has suffered political misfort-
unes to which vote for Lorimer con-
tributed.
Altogether it was an extremely sad
occasion, all the sadder because the
man who has caused all this political
woe and misery refuses to resign.
