is going on behind the scenes. Mr.. Jor-
dan is the man on whom the mantle OF
chairman will finally fall
The only man OF the several who are
intimately interested In the selection OF
the chairman who would talk yesterday
was John r. Costello, Democratic ma
tional committeeman. He was strong in
his denial OF having placed the name OF
Mr.. Jordan before the national commit
tee for the position, and equally strenu-
Gus In his defense OF Mr.. Jordan's De-
mocracy.
II has been charged by some District
Democrats that Mr.. Jordan Is more Of
a Bull Moose than Democrat in his
sympathies, but this idea was secuted
by Mr.. Costello. who said that before,
during, and after the Baltimore conven-
ton MFR. Jordan had worked for the
Democracy, first. last. and all the time.

NEW YORK CLUB
Harry Stevens Says There Is Not a
Particle Of Truth in the
Rumor.

New York, Dec. 2-vigorous deniaIs
were made to-day OF the report that c.
G. X. Billings and Edward 7. Upton
were negotiating for the purchase of the
New York baseball club from the Brush
estate. Harry Stevens, a lifelong friend
of John T. Brush. denied vehemently
that Mr.. Hampstead intends to dispose
Of his share in the club
Il have been hearing all sorts of re-
ports lately" said Mr.. Stevens, land
there's not particle of truth in them.
When the affairs of the club are
straightened out the widow of Mr..
Brush will undoubtedly receive the bulk
OF the stock, while Harry Hampstead,
Mr.. Brush's son-in-law. now acting presi-
dent, viii probably be made president.
As for any outsiders becoming Interested
IN the clubs business, I don't think
there's a possible chance"
That is the first l have heard of it."
said c G. X. Billings this afternoon
when asked about the report. Il never
entertained the idea of owning any
stock In the Giants club, and am pref
ty sure that Mr.. Upton never thought
10 buy any interest in the club, even il
it had been for sale"
The market value of the New York
National League club is problematical.
Well-known baseball eXperts-men who
have owned the club-say that if the
local club was ever put on the market
for sale 1t could easily bring 100000.

ANGER POISONS
HUMAN SYSTEM
Dr.. Charles F. Winbigler Tells W. c.
T. U. that When a Man Gets
Mad He Injuries His Health.

Grief and anger are poisonous, not
only in figure but in fact, according to
DIR. Charles F. Winbigler. who spoke on
the ''will in Relation to Health and Dis
ease at the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union Building. 522 Sixth Street
Northwest, last night. DR.. Winbigler is
director of the Washington Psyche
Therapeutic Society.
DR.. Winbigler said that by anger we
poison ourselves literally. An angered
man is poisonous in body as well as in
disposition.
According TO his psychology, grief,
mourning, anger, together with the ex-
ercise of the other emotions. makes the
will work backward" and DR.. Win
bigler assured his audience that when
their wills began to work backward they
were beginning to get in a bad way.
At the close Of the meeting DR.. Win
bigler gave the recipe OF forming a
strong will, with consequent health, hap
piness, and success.

FEMALE JURY
QUICK TO ACT
Kansas Women Dispose of Case
in Three Hours that
Nettled Men.

Eldorado, Kans., Dec. when the
first women's jury in a Kansas court
entered the jury room Friday night to
begin its duties the twelve paused. a
trihe uncertain as to the first move.
Il believe We should pray" one juror
said. So the twelve women jurors bowed
their heads in silent prayer.
The jury then organized by electing
Miss Hattie Z. Riley, its oldest mem
Der, foreman. or rather 'forewoman,"
after which it plunged into a discussion
of the case.
1T seemed as if all of the twelve wom-
en- were talking at once" one of the
jurors confessed to-day. But We were
terribly in earnest. We had respected
the judges instructions and for three
days we had not spoken word about
the case. so, naturally. there was good
deal TO be said
After three hours elaboration, the
twelve women returned a verdict award
ing the plaintiff $500 damages, based
on the alleged MISREPRESENTATION of a
quarter section OF land.
A year ago the same case, tried before
a jury Of men, resulted in a hung jury.

JUDGE DE- LACY
SEES PRESIDENT
Long Conference at White House
in Which Attorney General
Takes Part.

Attorney General wickersham and
Judge De Lacy. of the Juvenile Court,
were visitors at the White House yes
terday, where they had long confer
ence with President Taft, and set the
tongues wagging as 10 the probability
OF Judse De Lacy receiving q reappoint-
ment at the hands Of the President.
After the session at the White House.
Attorney General wickersham and Judge
De Lacy went 10 the Department OF
Justice. II Is supposed that these two
visits were made In connection with the
explanation Of certain charges that have
been made against the Juvenile Court
Judge, These charges were general In
nature and were directed not against the
Judges fitness for the bench. but touched.
Il is said, on certain branches OF tact
and judgment.
The question OF his reappolntment Is
of interest TO many in Washington.
Judge De Lacy has a large backing of
friends, who are confident in the asser-
, ton that he will be appointed for an
other term. There are several factors
in favor of this belief, and not the least
Is the fact that President Taft has oc-
cupied a place on the bench himself and
is opposed to the policy Of disseminating
the services OF judge unless there are
vital reasons for SO doing.
Others In the Field.
The facts Of the matter as they came
out yesterday at the meeting at the
White House and at the Department OF
Justice later will be sifted and weighed
by the Attorney General, and reported
TO the President for his action.
There are several others mentioned in
connection with the bench Of the Juve-
nile Court. They are Stanley Finch. head
Of the Investigation Bureau OF the De-
partment Of Justice. toward whom Mr..
Wichersaham is said to lean; Gus
SchuIdt. assistant prosecutor in the Po-
lice Court, and two or three other law
yers Of Washington.
