JOKER Is AIMED
AT GEN. WOOD
Amendment Offered in Conference
Seeks to Make Him
Ineligible.

1t became known here last night that
opponents of Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood
are making a final attempt TO drive him
from his present Office as chief Of STAN
of the Army by means of a joker insert
ed in the conference report on the army
bill. which makes Gen. Wood Ineligible
to hold that assignment after March,
1913
The amendment TO the report. present.
ed at the eleventh hour by Representa-
tive Hay, declares that after March l.
1913, no oficer shall be eligible for the
post OF chief of stan, or shall be per-
mitted TO serve as chief of stan. who
has not served ten years in the line OF
the army with rank below that of brig
adler general II this becomes law, Gen.
Wood will be forced out OF ONCE next
year.
The measure is so cleverly drawn as
to ft Gen. Woods case. and there is no
doubt in the minds Of those who have
learned OF the joker that 1t was aimed
at Gen. Wood and no one else. Repre-
sentative Hay, who introduced the
amendment, has been fighting Gen. Wood
ever since he became chairman of the
House Committee on Military Affairs
when the Democrats came into power

Many OF those pupils took great de-
light In overlooking party ties and throw
ing their sunrages for Berger when he
ran for Congress
1t Is practically impossible to get .

and night Waterman. He knows all about

II, what's its real import, and lot Of
things that do not appear on the sur
face. II an Questionable bill gets passed
without a fight from Mann. It Is because
he thinks it is all right. No human be-
ing could carry in his head all the de-
tails Mann has ready about every bill,
and the minority leader is able 10 keep
such close tab only by means OF q sys-
tenn he has worked out. The moment a
bill Is introduced he has a digest made
OF #, including all obfainabIs beneath
the-surface dope, and this nutshell edi-
ton he places in q compact little card

at the close Of his days work, in a noisy
taxicab while his own vehicles stand idle
His family get greatly Vexed with him
over this extravaganza, but he says he
can get taxicab on two minutes notice,
whereas he would have to order his own

Breaking Up a Bad Practice.

If Judge De Lacy can do anything to-
ward keeping young girls and boys of
the streets at night he will deserve the
thanks of the community. He has al
ready made an example Of one youth
BY placing him upon probation for three
months, the boy having been arrested
for addressing a young girl.
It is the experience of almost every
city where there is large factory pop
ulatiou that the streets at night are
filed with young girls and boys, still
IN their teens, who parade up and down
the thoroughfares until late hour.
Washington is comparatively free in this
respect, and yet the conditions here are
bad enough. 1t il impossible in free
country where individual liberty reaches
its highest development for govern
mental authority to assume a jurisdic-
hon which belongs exclusively to The
parent At the same time there is alb
solute necessity for calling attention to
a condition which ought TO be Temedied
If nothing else can be done there ought
to be a campaign of education among
the parents. They should be told, II
they do not already know, that to al
low their children TO frequent the
streets at night must result injurious
". In the case of young girls the out
come is almost inevitable, while surely
there can be no strong moral fiber in
the makeup of young boys whose chief
occupation at night is accesting and
seeking acquaintance with persons OF
the opposite sex.
If the police will take into custody
some of the youths who loiter and flirt
upon the streets, the lesson may be a
salutary one Certain it is that the
spectacle of some of our public thor
eughfares at night crowded with young
girls and boys, actuated by no other
spirit than a delight in chance adven-
ure, is not to the credit of the Ma
lions Capital

he was in the midst OF his speech in
favor OF ousting Senator Ike Stephen
son. O'Gorman accidentally knocked OF
his glasses and they fell on his desk
and broke into many pieces. The mis-
hap might have been particularly dis
concerning in his case, for the reason
that O'Gorman's speeches never run
more than 1--WE or ten minutes, and he
endeavors to make each sentence count.
But he never slowed up. not even when

rescue and offered him their glasses.
He tried the proffered specs, a pair
at a time, as II he were a magic

ment. never skipping or hesitating over

speech where he was obliged to read

Moore went over to Philadelphia a

weeks later he was in Philadelphia
again, on private business, and CHANGED
TO bump into one of the club members
who had listened TO his able address.
Better come to the club again and
take lunch this noon" suggested the
member.
Moore was in a big hurry. and had
many things on his mind. but the man
was so insistent that he consented.
While Moore was washing his face and
hands at the club rooms his host went
to mail a letter. few moments later
they met in the Longing room The
hosts appearance had been changed
somewhat by the removal OF his hat.
Moore looked at him and inquired:
Let's see, I've met you before some
place. Was ii in Philadelphia or Wash

And the Philadelphia man laughed up

But the fact was that Moore was so
busy thinking of other things that he

The Lodge Amendment Joker.

Those who are endeavoring to steer
sugar legislation in Washington must
be well-nigh distracted over the out
come of year and half of sugar agi-
tation Here is the result:
81. Hardwick report, favoring the re-
hners and standpatters
p. Underwood bill against the re-
hners and anti-standpatters
8. Senate finance report, favoring the
beet sugar industry, but against the
sugar rehners. ...-. .... 81.
4 Lodge amendment, reported from
the Senate Finance Committee, for the
cane sugar rehners and against the beet
sugar industry
The HaTdwick investigating commit
tee reported that the value Of the listed
sugar trust stocks was not inflated and
that there was no Joker" in the law in
favor Of the cane sugar rehners. In
other words, it was whitewash. The
Democratic steam roller" in the House
lost no time in making it known that it
disregarded the Hardwick report, and as
a result the Underwood free sugar bill
was offered. When this reached the
Senate it was, of course, consigned to
the Senate Finance Committee which,
on May II, returned lengthy report,
the gist of which was contained in the
very last paragraph, as follows:
Because of the fact that the Dutch
II L.
Of the present sugar schedule yield no
revenue, because they give the rehners
an undue advantage, and because of the
further fact that their removal would
not work serious hardship to our
home producers, your committee begs
10 report a substitute bill which abol-
ishes the Dutch standard and the differ
entail and retains the present rates of
duty on importations of raw sugar"
1t was suggested in that report to
carry out the foregoing sentiments by
what is known as the Lodge amendment,
which does away with the Dutch stand
ard, or the old time, but still existing
and often exposed sugar trust joker in
the tariff, also the difference between
the rate OF import DUTY on pure, I'M
refined sugar and the rate of import
duty on refined sugar, known as the
'diferentisl" Newspapers, as well as
trade journals, reported the foregoing
feature OF Senator Lodges amendment.
but The Washington Herald would call
attention to part of the Lodge measure
that has not been reported in the press
and which is as follows;
Provided. that every bag, barrel, or
parcel in which sugar testing by the
pelariscope less than ninety-nine degrees
is packed shall be plainly branded by

RICHESON'S BODY

Medical Examiner McGrath performed

that Rioheson's brain was normal.

that he be buried by the side Of his

Rev. Herbert S. Johnson, pastor of the

Baseball Strike Ends.

1t was good sense on the part of the
Detroit team to abandon its strike.
They could not expect much public SYM
pathy in standing up for brawling on
the diamond. The public does not pay
to see the umpire, OF players of rival
teams, or any Of the spectators assault
ed. BY winning their strike the Detroit
men only could injure the game which
opens the way to them of larger earn
ings than most of them ever could ex-
pect to obtain in any other work. Let
it be hoped that this is the end of
strikes against discipline, which has for
its object the keeping of the sport de-
cent and free from offense
The successful movement against the
rowdy player should go forward to deal
with the rowdy spectator, who occasion
ally infests the bleachers, near which
outhelders are obliged to play, and shout
insults at them. Not one fan in a
thousand would be anything but glad
to have these offensive persons sup
pressed. The authority of the umpires
should be extended TO protect players
from verbal insults or abuse. The
election Of one or two foul-mouthed
wits" probably would be enough to
put stop to the practice which made
Cobb lose his head An umpire, even,
might properly exercise the right to
declare a game forfeited, where the
management failed to police its grounds
efectually.
