WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ANACOSTIA. ID. C. June 2S.

A. review OF tho late conference in
Baltimore, Nd, of the Itinerants' Club,
with civic Righteousness as the central
theme, was presented by the Rev. Sam
uel w. Grafflin, the pastor Of the Ana
costa M. E. Church. before the congre-
CATION of that church last evening.
The Itinerants' Club has for its men,
bers ministers of the Baltimore Annual
Conference who meet to discuss civic
and social problems and their relation
to church and nation. The Rev. Mr..
Grafflin was one of the speakers at the
late meeting. discussing THE Munich
pality and Amusements."
Referring to the question of labor and
needed legislation. a topic dwelt upon in
the conference by the Rev. Charles
Shannon Biggs the Rev. Mr.. Grafflin
said:
"The labor problem Is the real prob
lem Of the day; the rich man has no
problem, but one is coming to him. truly.
We are facing now as never before a
crisis between capital and labor"
Explaining the topic of the purity OF
the ballot as discussed by Charles r.
Harley, of the Baltimore bar, the
speaker said the subject sounded like
1t had been extracted from a comic
paper THE political situation Is i'm
portant enough to require each one OF
us to look into 1t keenly," he said.
The Rev. Mr.. Grafflin explained at
length the analysis by DR.. o. Edward
Janney, Of Baltimore, of the suppress
sion of public vice. How the city OF
Seattles, Wash. has succeeded In
eliminating this evil, was narrated.
This abominable traffic must be stop
ped" said the clergyman, "or else your
children will supply the demand. 1t is
a lie to say that 1t cannot be stamped
out, and we must rise in our might and
put 1t down."
The safeguarding Of marriage was
another feature touched upon by the
minister who told his congregation that
not every one who applies to him to
officiate at a marriage ceremony Is ac-
commodated. He turns away many, he
said that are UNIT to enter such a
state. The time Is coming" said the
Rev. Mr.. Grafflin, when a doctors and
a minister's certificate will be required
before people will be permitted to
marry. AS 1t stands now. with the
procurement Of a license at tho court
house all that is necessary, II Is entire
ly too easy to enter into this state"
The speaker advocated public amuse-
ments for the people on Sundays along
the lines of geological and park expedi-
tions and promenades along great boule-
wards, as is the practice In foreign
cities.

In EXPORT OF MEAT
General Condition of Packing
Trade Is Considered Es-
- pecially Sound.

An increase Of per cent in the value
Of meat exports during the eleven
months of the present fiscal year end
ing May 30, is noted over the corres-
bonding period Of 1911. by the Bureau
OF Statistics, Department of Commerce

months period ending with May, Of this
year is Is, S7s. .4s3 head, as against
1856, 152 head for the corresponding
period Of 1911.
In general. the conditions in the pack
Ing trade are good, although a COM
parison between May Of this year and
the same month last year shows a de-
crease in the receipts of cattle, hogs

ucts, and exports.

PRESIDENT SOON
TO DECIDE STATUS
\ OF JUDGE DE- LACY
Juvenile Court Controversy
Will Be Settled Within
M Few Days.

President Taft soon is expected to de-
eide whether Judge William H. De
+ Lacy, of the Juvenile Court, will be re-
b appointed or another person named in
his stead.
Judge De Lacy's term Of office expires
July l. A number Of persons have been
mentioned as probable successors, but
the friends of Judge De Lacy say he
will be reappointed.
Petitions signed by hundreds of ctti-
Gems have been filed with Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham in interest of re-
appointment for Judge De Lacy, and in
behalf of Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey
and others who are candidates for the
position.
Mrs. Mussey this morning refused to
discuss the probability of her appoint.
hent, saying that her name had beer
Tput forward by friends and that she
. cared got to discuss the situation.
Whatever opposition has arisen
against Judge De Lacy, 1t is said is be-
cause he Is too lenient with youths who
appear in his court for the first time. 1t
has been charged by the judges friends
that many parents whose children have
| been sentenced by Judge De Lacy have
Joined in to make him lose his position.
AS yet the Attorney General and the
matter, but 1T Is understood on good au-
pthority that a decision will be reached
within the next few days.
The contention of the friends Of Mrs.
q Mussey Is that it would be better to
have a woman lawyer preside over a
court where children are tried.
y Judge De Lacy believes in giving a
child chance where there is ground
for the belief that such a chance would
mean better behavior on the part Of the
child. However, when he feels that Il
10 time for the court to take a hand he
does not hesitate in imposing a SEN
tence.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION
Result of Raloting on Various Cam
ddates to Represent Wiscon-
sin at Washington.

WiSconSin'S present congressional
representation is: Republicans, 8:
democrats, 2; socialist, l. BY the re-
apportionment Of districts, Congress-
man Nelson and Congressman Kopp,
both republicans, were thrown into
the same district, the new Third.
Kopp dropped out of the race, leav-
ing the field clear to Nelson, who
was renominated. In the new Ninth
district, Congressman Morse, repub-
lican, and Congressman Korop, dem
ocrat, were thrown together and the
latter made a very vigorous cam
paign to overcome the republican
plurality in the district two years
ago of 200.
The returns indicate the election of
these congressman by districts:
First-%Henry A. Cooper, rep,
Racine.
Second-*Michael e. Burke, dem,
Beaver Dam.
Third-#John NJ. Nelson, rep,

cincts in the state outside of Mil
waukee gave Karel 41,819, MCCOY
ern 42,258.
The republicans gain one congress
man by the defeat of Berger, social
list, in the Fifth district. The dem
ocrats retain the two they now have.
The legislature will remain rpub-
Iican, but by a rduced majority.
Woman suffrage is defeated by a
large majority, but it received large
vote and carried in several counties
Roosevelt has probably carried two
counties in Winnebago
and Douglas.
That there will be considerable
difference in the vote received by
the electoral ticket and the state
ticket is indicated ythe returns
Wilson leads Karel and the demo-
cratic ticket. Democratic victory for
the state ticket was only made pos
sible by the large vote received in
Milwaukee county, where Judge Ka-
rel has a lead of over $4,000 over
McGovern. Dodge, Ozaukee, Jeffer-
son, Marathon, ManitoWoc an dother
counties in the reports so far re-
ceiyed give the democrats a safe
lead.
Many former republican strong
holds in figures show a complete re-
versal The republicans lost heavily
in the cities and towns and it is
doubtful if the country precincts can
overcome the pluralities. In a few
counties alone is the republican vote
maintained The strong republican
counties failed to respond in the old
time majorities.
While the republican state ticket
receives pluarlities in q large num-
Der of counties it is by figures so re-
duced that it is doubtful if the result
can be changed by the official figures.

CONGRESS Is DEMOCRATIC.
Returns Show That Wilson VIII Have
Lower House and Probably
Senate Behind Him.

Returns show beyond a question of
doubt that the siXty-third congress
is going to be democratic in both
houses. The total membership of
the house under the new apportion-
ment is 435; necessary for a major
lty, 21S. The last house contained
391 members, of whom 230 were
democrats, 100 republicans, and /
social democrat. The membership of
the last senate was 90; necessary for
majority, 40. The membership was
so republicans, 43 democrats, va
cancies. Thirty-two senator's terms
expire next March 8; of this num-
Der Is are democrats and 10 repub-

Beng Necessary.

The election of Gov. Wilson OF
New Jersey as president and Gov
Marshall of Indiana as vice-president
by a safe majority of electoral votes,
is made certain by returns received
from the country at large. With
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Ohio and 9th
er large state represented by only
'meager reports, the success of the
heavily populated states was certain.
The early returns gave to Gov. Will
son the solid South" embracing all
democratic states south of the Po-
tomac, and Connecticut, Delaware,
Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York and apparently
West Virginia, Indiana and Missouri
Roosevelt's victory in Illinois, con-
coded early by the democratic lead
ers, promised to carry with it plu-
rality greater than 100000. Besides
Illinois, Roosevelt has probably car
ried Iowa, Kansas, California, South
Dakota, Michigan and possibly Penn
sylvania. These states would give the
colonel III electoral votes.
Wilson will have a least 270 votes
in the electoral college, 266 being all
that is required for election.
Taft carried five states with small
electoral votes. He will have Fl
votes in the electoral college.
Besides the presidency and vice
presidency, democracy also retained
the lower house of congress by an
overwhelming majority. And on top
of that it has probably captured the
United States senate.
Two hundred and sixty-seven dem
ocrats, 148 republicans and 20 pro-
pressives is the promised lineup of
the new national house of representa-
tives. That gives the democrats
clear majority of 81 over all
The indicated complexion of the
new senate is 81 democrats and As
republicans. These figures may be
changed by more complete returns,
for they assume that the Illinois leg
islature has gone democratic and will
elect two senators of that faith.
On the other hand, there may be
other democratic gains. Sure ones
are already shown of two in Colo
RADIO, one in Montana, one in Massa-
chusetts and one in New Jersey. And
thereby some familiar faces will be
missing in the next ngress-Sen-
