boys treated was supposed compound

being complicated by arterial hemor-
rhages. The judges Of the contest were
Lieuts. S. s. Creighton and A. P Up
shur of the Army Medical School. The
boys were given no pointers while at
work. but afterward the officers gave
short talks complimentng or criticsing

adjoining the exhibit hall, but a down.
pour of rain was SO strenuous that even
the scouts as we'll as spectators were
pleased to move indoors. The demonstra-
tons presuppose little knowledge of the

and there was a contest between picked
patrols. Awards will be given the win

Viewed as Attempted Evasion.

1t is known that certain representatives
of the corporation counsels Office hold the
opinion that the formation of the Mary
iand-Nirginia Railway Company is at
least an attempted evasion Of the
quirements of the charter granted by
Congress to the Washington Railway
and Electric Company.
Under this charter the Washington
Railway and Electric Company cannot
issue further bonds for improving it's
properties and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Railway Company, il Is stated. was
ganiZed in order tn provide the neoes-
sary funds for development purposes
Why the local railway company did
not apply to Congress to have its charter
tional bond issue in preference to organ
izing an outside corporation under a
blanket charter for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning funds is puzzling District officials.
1t is learned upon reliable authority
that If the corporation counsefs office re-
cards the financial methods that have
been employed as an evasion OF the
charter of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company ii may decide to bring
the matter to the attention of Congress.
Railway Directors May Meet.
1t is announced that a special meeting
of the board of directors OF the WASH
ington Railway and Electric Company
may be held within a short time to de-
eide what course will be pursued with
respect to providing for the future de-
velopment of the company and its allied
properties.

is a director in the company. a plan for

HEDGES IS named

don't beat him to a FRAGILE, the Judgment
Of the world will confirm the insult
He preached the doctrine of courage
and optimism for the republicans and
aroused the convention to a wild pitch OF
enthusiasm. He seconded Wadsworth and
precipitated the pronounced demonstra-
ton of the day in behalf Of that cam
didate.
Nominations Closed.
Judge Thompson took occasion to de-
| fend Wadsworth for his attitude on Sun
| day base ball and racing, the only OBJ
| jections raised to his candidacy aside
from his being the protege Of Barnes.
BY this time the Wadsworth senti-
| ment was obviously increasing, as ex-
pressed in outward ebullition, but no
| estimates of the prospective vote could
be obtained.
Judge lockwood nominated State Sen
ator Bracket of Saratoga, and the viii
layers present gave their fellow-vil-
lager a rousing send-off, in which the
entire audience Joined, as a tribute to
his eloquent speech of yesterday and his
general popularity.
Nomina tions closed at 1910 o'clock.
Hedges Leads on First Ballot.
Mr. Bracket withdrew his name AL
bany county split it's vote among all the
candidates, William Barnes thus seeking
to further divest his favorite, Wadsworth
from his influence. Other counties also
split their VOTE and some votes were cast
for men not nominated.
Harvey d. Hinman thus received a good
vote, and word flashed through the hall
that an attempt would be made to work
up a stampede to him.
On the first ballot the vote stood
Wadsworth. 26S; Hedges, 3s7; Bennett,
1876; Daniels. 50: Human. 30: Cullinan,
As; Scherin, I; necessary to choice; sos.
Second Ballot Taken.
While the second ballot proceeded, some
swift politics was played. Barnes, dis
mayed at the showing of Hedges strength
over Wadsworth, tried to force a recess
in order to frame a new lineup. Mr.
Hedges told me that when the break
came, he wanted to get the bulk of the
Bennett vote. High financial interests in
New York were working for Wadsworth,
but Hedges was making Roadway with
the upstate people.
Erie county, which has 81 votes, and
had been casting them for Daniels would
switch to Wadsworth when the ice gorge
breaks, 1t was said.
On the second ballot Hedges gained ~
votes and Wadsworth -, with Hedges
still 81 in the lead.
The effort to take recess was defeated
and the third roll was called.
Swing Over to Hedges.
AT :35, during the thirty-second roll
call, Candidate Bennett arose in his place
and cast the vote of the fourth assembly
district for his opponent, Hedges. This
action was taken to mean the formal sur
render of the Bennett forces to Hedges,
and other New York city assembly dis
tricts followed rapidly in line for Hedges.
Rensselaer, county switched to Hedges
Saratoga county did the same, followed
by Schoharie and Hedges was nominated.
