D. A. R. ELECTION
IS WARM AFFAIR
one Candidate Withdrew From Race
and Others Claim Her
Votes.

1 United Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-with all
the aspects of a national party con
vention, Daughters of the American
Revolution today began their third
days deadlock for the office of presi-
dent general. Combinations and
trades the whisper of a dark horse
and an atmosphere of Uttered paper
and furtive secrecy heightened the
similarity Of the woman's congrega-
uonal gathering.
Today Mrs. Charles Bryan, of Nash
vile, Tenn, with forty-two votes held
the balance of power to break The
deadlock. Mrs. VIM. Cummings Story,
the "insurgent" candidate, led with
STA votes, six less than enough to elect
while the administration candidate,
Mrs. John Miller Horton, pressed her
closely with s42 votes.
All the conflicting statements that
ere usually issued from political
campaign, have made the regular ap-
searance during the bitterest fight
for the Office Of president general
Today all the candidates issued their
second statements, each denying that
they had withdrawn. Lobbyists were
up bright and early trying to win dele
gates to their cause.

THRILLING DRILLS
AT FORT MYER
Impossible for the American to Wit
ness One Without Being ARGUS
ed by the Scene.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-If any
blase visitor to the nations capital
finds it impossible to become duly
thrilled with that feeling of patriotism
that makes people hum THE Star
Spangled Banner" standing, all he has
to do is to go out to see one Of the cav
airy drills at Fort Myer.
About half an hour of that glittering,
jangling. hoof-beating dare-devilism is
guaranteed to instill the feeling into
the coolest human iceberg. 1t Is the
lure of soldiery, that swings. and
climbs, and stands, and jumps, In a
mad vortex of horses
The drills are weekly events and are
always popular as society affairs,
although the neck-risking feats are
done by the enlisted men who appear
on the program merely as Company
so-and-so' under command of Lieuten-
ant or Captain Somebody. The riding
hall is about 500 feet long and 200
feet wide, and each drill is generally
participated in by about fifty men.
A few days ago President Wilson
saw his first drill at the fort, and a
program of unusual merit was given.
That means that everybody took an
extra chance. Cossack riding was the
central number on this program, in
which twenty-five young troopers on
saddleless horses did almost impos-
sible feats, standing on running horses
,JoI md
performing other feats that were as
much circus stunts as cavalry exploits.
The troopers made their chargers
jump over mess table, set with
china and surrounded by soldiers APP
parently at dinner. Others made their
mounts leap over handkerchief
stretched between two men. This was
to show the accuracy of the riders
guiding and the perfect obedience of
the horse to the rein. Other less diff
were the tandem events, where sol
diers standing on one horse and driv-
ing another would execute similar
feats
But the artillery drills are always
the most spectacular. laundering
around the great hall in storm OF
flying tanbark, the heavy wagons
rumble between narrow spaces mark
ed by stakes, cut figures, cross in
front of each other at wild gallop,
horses, wagons and drivers swaying
madly at each Drecarious turn.
The things the madcap cavalrymen
do would make a circus performer
turn an envious emerald They do it
not only when elegantly dressed men
and women sit and applaud, but also
when an unsympathetic riding master
urges them on without any audience"
at all It's all very fine and very
thrilling, and with the band playing
and the horses weaving in and out in
dizzy evolutions, while the riders turn
flip f1ops and otherwise throw the def
at fate it's sad human who isn't
inspired to yell "Hooray for the u S.
A."

Martin Hynes has filed suit in the

cavating operations are conducted by
the defendants for the foundation OF
a building or structure in which to
deposit gasoline, oil and other explo-
sives that are prohibited by the city
ordinances from being housed within
the city in large quantities and that
