Commandant at Fort Myer, by Special Drill of
Dashing Fifteenth Cavalry, Impresses
Wise Men from Capitol

Col. Joseph Garrard, commanding the
Fifteenth Cavalry and commandant Of
the Fort Myer army post, across the Po-
stored himself in the favor of Presi-
dent Taft and the War Department. Last
spring President Taft severely rebuked
Col Garrard. in a letter to the Secre-
tary of War, for expressing in an official
communication. a prejudice against the
Jewish race and the son Of post tailor
who had taken the examination for ap-
pointment as an officer. The candidate
had failed, but President Taft directed
on which he passed.
The President and the War Department
officials have been at their wits ends to
defeat the Hay bill. which has passed the
House. providing among other things OBJ
jectionable to the administration. the
curtailment OF the cavalry by one-third.
The bill is now before the Senate. A
few days ago Col. Garrard sent a notice
TO each member Of Congress calling at
tention to the fact that the legislators
apparently had been too busy to take ad-
vanage Of the regular military drirls at
Fort Myer. which are held weekly FRI
day afternoon. Accordingly. he an
nounced that he had arranged for a spe-
cial drill last Thursday night for their
benefit The drill was made social

sentatives. with their wives. were pres
ent, after which they were received at
the commandant's quarters.

MEMBERS RESENT
BRYCE's REMARKS
City Never Slighted, Say
Solons, in Reply to British
Diplomats Criticism.
CITED


Members of Congress yesterday seemed
inclined to resent the suggestion made
by Ambassador Bryce in his address be-
fore the Board of Trade on Thursday
night that the national legislators were
inclined to slight the District Of Co
lumbia. -
Three members OF the House. two OF
whom are members OF the District Com
mittee, came to the defense Of Congress,
asserting. that Justice has always been
done this city, and frequently at the per-
sonal sacrifice Of those selected 10 serve.
Foster Replies to Bryce.
"a statement OF this kind sounds bad
when coming from the Ambassador of
another nation" said Representative
Foster, of Illinois. 1T seems to me
hardly fair that any member of the
diplomatic corps. particularly when he
Is not versed with all phases of the sit
uation should take upon himself the
right to criticise Congress. ,
1--WE recognize Ambassador Bryce as
a great and able man. Undoubtedly his
statements were predicated upon misin-
formation"
In defense OF Congress service TO the
District, Representative Julius Kahn, OF
California. ranking Republican member
OF the District Committee, cited the Vari-
GUS projects that have been concluded
and are under way. In beginning his
statement Mr.. Kahn stated he wanted
il mada cl>ar that what he said was not
TO be construed as a criticism OF Ambas-
sador Bryce. -
'In the last few years" he continued,
Congress has erected the two office
buildings, the National Museum, the new
Department of Agriculture, the Union
Station, and has made plans for the cree
ton of a newyState Department., a De-
psrtment ofJustice. and one other build
ing. Besides these, there is the new
columbus Monument in front of the
Union Station, the Grant Monument fac
ing the Capital, and the Lincoln Tenn
pie, with the proposed George Washing
ton Memorial Hall.
I'm every one OF these projects Con-
gress has given aid. 1t has also looked
to municipal improvements
Has Done Much for City.
when one considers the actual achieve
ments in this city the list becomes so
formidable as to disprpve, without furth-
er comment, the statement that Congress
docs not look after the District. There
is not a member Of Congress who does
not take a personal pride in this city
and who does not desire to zee II grow"
Another member pointed TO the fact
that Congressman, serving on the Dis
trict Committee, the various subcOm-
mittees. thereof, and attending 10 legis-
lation on the floor OF the House. gave a
large share Of their time to work not in
line with their personal interests.
Representative Prouty. of Iowa, ex-
planned that he was a new member OF
the committed. and, therefore, did not
feel at liberty to discuss the past rec
ords of District committees.
From what have SEEN" he added,
Il am satisfied that members of Con-
gress devote all time they possibly can
spare to the needs OF the District, and
whenever the Treasury warrants II, this
city is given every improvement that
is needed to enhance its beauty and add
10 its growth"

STEPHENSON MUST
GO, SAYS BRISTOW
Kansas Senator Demands that Seat
Be Vacated-Claims Violation of
Law Secured Nomination.

In a s,sech i'm the Senate yesterday
attacking the methods and practices em-
pIoyed in the Wisconsin primary 10 elect
Senator Stephenson, Senator Bristow, OF
Kansas, demanded that the seat be va
caed.
Il believe" said Senator Bristow, "the
evidence shows that corrupt methods and
practices were used: that Mr.. Stephenson
and his managers not only cOrruptly used
money to secure his election, but also
fiagrantIy violated the laws of the State
of Wisconsin against corrupt practices IN
elections, and that by mere technicalities
they seek to avoid the responsibility for
their conduct.
ANY man who will openly violate the
statutes of his State that have been
passed to protect the honesty of fits eiee-
lions is rot worthy seat In this body
yet the primary question for the Senate
ITO decide is not were the statutes Of
Wisconsin violated. but did corruption in
the election of Mr. Stephenson actually
occur
The chairman of the subcommittee,
Mr. Hepburn, in his opinion in the report.
takes the amazing position. that corrup-
tion I'm the primary election which re-
suited In Mr.. Stephenson securing the
Republican nomination cannot be con-
sidered as having any bearing on the
legislative election; that the primary
practically has no more connection with
the action of the legislature than straw
vote would have.
Such position. in my opinion, would
wrongfully absolve Mr.. Stephenson and
his managers from the gross and inde-
fensible corruption committed by them in
the primary election, and TO permit them
to escape its penalties.
81 hold that an act OF corruption that
contributed 10 Mr.. Stephenson's nomina-
ton I'm the primary is just as culpable as
IL it had occurred in the election by the
legislature. If Mr. Stephenson had not
received the nomination in the primary
he would not have been elected by the
legislature His name doubtless would
never have been presented TO that body
for its consideration"
