| CHICAGO, June 6-(Special TelegramD
The initial meeting of the republican
national committe convened to make no
! the temporary convention roll call was
held today, but if anyone expected fire
works he must have been disappointed.
| The assembly was as decorous as an
afternoon bridge whist, and probably
produced less conversation. Only one
roll call was taken, and that on a Ques-
ton that was hardly vital, but went far
enough to indicate the extent of the
untra-insurgent membership which fig
ured up the unlucky number of thirteen
out of fifty-three.
The only differences manifested at all
developed, as l have already Indicated
out of the movement to give publicity to
the contest hearings. All were agreed
that the doors should be swung open,
but not agreed as to how far open. The
rules of four years ago, which had then
been formulated and presented by spe-
cially appointed subcommittee, unani
mously adopted, were readoptci substan-
TALLY without change, except as to the
publicity feature. Four years ago the
hearings took place in executive session,
but with the contestants and their at
torneys present, the latter retiring at the
conclusion Of the hearing to permit the
committee to reach its decision. AS mod
flied for this session. the five press asso-
Citations, which together serve news re-
ports to every daily newspaper in the
country, and are recognized with repre-
sentation on the floor of the house Of
representatives, are to have the privilege
present at all times. While this was ac-
ceptable all around, and effort was made
on behalf of the Rooseveltians through
Kellogg of Minnesota and Borah Of
Idaho to admit also several correspond
ents for all the newspapers represented
In the press gallery. The chief objection
urged to this was the physical difficulty
of providing for large number of news
paper men, the probable number being
very indefinite, without interfering with
the committees work. The special cor
respondents and the outside newspapers
were none the less fully taken care of
for access to the proceedings by an order
to the secretary to employ sufficient
corps of competent stenographers to take
down everything to be said and tran
scribe it from day to day, the report to
be kept in the secretary's office, open
to the correspondents of any and all
newspapers and through them to the

HURRY REQUEST FROM CUBA

WASHINGTON, June 6.-President
Gomez Informed the United States
through American Minister Beaupre today
that he Is forming a volunteer guard tY
protect foreign property against attacks
by negro rebels. He asked that the
rifles he recently ordered be increased
from 900 10 10000, and that 100000 car
tridges accompany them. He urged the
United States to make every effort to
facilitate a quick delivery Of the rifles
and ammunition.
With four American battleships steam
ing toward Guantanamo, the force Of
marines Immediately available for the
protection of foreign life and property In
Cuba Is increased to more than 1,500.
Altogether, the battleships Minnesota
Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio-the fourth
division of the Atlantic fleet-which pat
out from Key West late yesterday under
command of Rear Admiral Usher, have
on board nearly 800 marines. These
ships should arrive at Guantanamo some
time tomorrow.
Twenty-Five Hundred Available.
The cruiser Prairie, which already has
landed 40 men under command of Col
onel Lucas, has about $50 more on board.
The four battleships Of the third division
of the Atlantic fleet. still at Key West
under Rear Admiral Osterhaus, on the
flagship Washington, have nearly 1000
more marines which could be moved to
Cuba In little more than a day II the
situation should demand. Roughly this
places the number of marines immedI-
ately available at about l,5O0 and the re-
serve lOIce at Key West at 1000
The combined forces or blue1ackets on
all the ships, which, however would only
be landed In the most pressing emer-
sency easily would swell the total Amer
| ican force available to more than $500
men AS President Gomez indicated In
his statement last night, the assumption
by the American marines Of responsible

| in Oriente will relieve General Montea-
| guedo's army of the most onerous por-
! ton of its work and will enable that Of
ficer to begin almost Immediately a cam
paign In force against the marauding
bands of negro insurrectos.
1t is estimated that 1000 American mar
ines would be equivalent to five times
that number of Cuban regular soldiers.

CHICAGO, June 6.-The republican ma
tonal committee was called to order at
the Coliseum this afternoon by Acting
Chairman Victor Rosewater of Nebraska.
1t was expected that no contests would
be taken up today; the work OF the
committee seemed likely to be confined
to organization and adoption Of rules,
including the question of admitting rep
resentatives Of the press to hearings.
Victor Rosewater of Nebraska was
elected chairman of the republican ma
tional committee today to serve through
the convention Mr.. Rosewater will sue
ceed the late Representative Hill Of
Maine. ,7
The right of r. B. Howell, who was
elected national committeeman from Ne
braska at the recent republican primary
in that state, was not taken up.
The committee, after long discussion,
voted, 40 to 10. to admit to the hearings
of contests two representatives Of each
of the five press associations having ad-
mission to the floor of the house of rep
resentatives.
They voted also to employ stenog-
raphers and make record of the pro-
ceedings.
Resolutions were adopted deploring the
death of Chairman Hill.
The committee then took up the ques-
ton of rules governing the proceedings
of the committee and the conduct of the
hearings of contests
Roosevelt Men Lose.
The Roosevelt people met defeat in the
first lineup. They proposed that eight

call. This was defeated and the number
was fixed at twenty.
1t was decided that thirty minutes
should be allowed to each side for hear
ing state contests on delegates at large.
fifteen minutes per side for district con-
tests.
The lineup in the first test vote in the
national committee was regarded by

kentucky, Wright of Louisiana Kellogg
Of Minnesota, Ward of New York, Capers
of South Carolina, Loose of Utah, Lyon

The old-established clothing house
Of Friedlander Rros.. Corner 9th and
E streets, n. W., will inaugurate a
gigantic clearance sale of the entire
summer stock of mems and boys
clothing that for sensational values
has never been equaled before. Ow-
ing to unfavorable weather and un-
settled business conditions, which
generally precede an election year,
they find themselves overstocked,
and in order to relieve this condi-
ton have decided to cut prices as
they have never been slashed before
to force a complete clearance of all
summer garments at once. The en-
tire force of salespeople has been
busy for the past few days marking
down the stock and arranging the
various lines of wearing apparel for
the extraordinary clearing sale which
starts tomorrow morning at o'clock
at the Friedlander store, corner 9th

This monster sale brings to the men
of Washington an opportunity to pur-
chase a stylish, well-tailored suit, an
extra pair of pants, and needed fur
nishings at prices that represent i'm
mense savings. The new scale of prices
which goes into effect at once on the
entire Friedlander stock means that
thrifty-minded people will be. able, to
pocket one-half of the usual price asked
for clothing of similar quality and
merit. A fact worth empha sizing Is
that every dollars worth of clothing in
the sale is brand-new and right up to

BAILEY ADVOCATES
REMOVING CLERKS
EVERY -FOUR YEARS
Texas Senator Opposes Life
Tenure for Government
Ia Employees.

In the course of the debate on the
Postofhce bill In the Senate, Senator
Bailey Of Texas declared II he had his
way there would be no life tenure in
the Government service. He favored
turning out the clerks every four
years. While he was speaking, es,
pecially of clerks In the postal service
his remarks against life tenure were
Of general application.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska spoke
In favor OF a provision, which he pro-
posed by way of amendment, that no
postal clerk be denoted in the railway
mail service until he was supplied with
q detailed statement of charges and
given opportunity to answer it. Sena-
tor Hitchcock was denouncing certain
demotions in the railway mail service
which had been brought about with
out any chance for hearing being per-
mitted.
1t was In discussion of this matter
that Senator Bailey took occasion to
express his views against life tenure.
He also spoke against the pensioning
and retirement of clerks. g..
Mr. President. IL II were now in
order I would propose as a substitute
Tor all of this that all these men be
turned out every four years. l think
the right to hold an office is not a
natural right, and that these gentle
men who occupy these offices In this
easy way might now and then be
sent back to the body Of the people
TO learn how 1t is to earn a living
IN other ways than by serving the
Government, and they ought to be-
cope taxpayers every once in a while,
lns3ead OF taxeaters all the time.
If this provision becomes a part
OF the law. then these men In the
Postoffice service will be as secure in
their offices for lie as the Federal
Judges are. the only difference being
that we will probably have to have
an inquest up in the department in
stead of having one in the Senate.
II do not believe, Mr.. President,
there is any place In a Government
ike ours for life tenure. I am one
OF the men who do not believe in a
life tenure for judges, although / be-
lieve In tenure sufficiently long to
remove them from the influences
minds of men,"
