torial investigating committee which

policemen were unable to maintain
order on March Sd, on March h,inau-
guration day, 367 officers kept Penn
sylvania avenue absolutely clear.
Sylvester continued his defense to-
day, reading reports of his police cap
tain. Captain Daley, in charge of 73
men stationed on Pennsylvania Ave,
between four and half and seventh
streets, reported that if there were
any Insults shouted at he women
he and his men hadn't
heard them. He said the line of
march was clear and the paraders un-
obstructed. Questioned by Senator
Jones brought out that while the
greater part of Pennsylvania Avenue
was cleared at 1890, Daley's section
was not until two hours later. Syl-
vester said he would investigate the
matter.
Miss Janet Richards, one of the
in the parade, swore today
that at one point on the line of march
a sergeant and II patrolmen appar-
emily abandoned any duty at all. She

Washington March 10.-Fresident
Wilson is a baseball fan. He let it be
known today that he intends taking
advantage of the customary passes
which the American and National
League have always issued to the ma
tion's chief executive, and will witness
as many games here as he can.
Ex-President Taft was an occa-
sional visitor to the Washington base
ball park. The late vice-preSldent
Sherman seldom missed a game.
Ben Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League, has sent the President a
season pass, ito all games played in the
National Capital during 1913. A SIM
liar pass will be issued during the
succeeding years of President Will
sons term and the President has eag-
erly agreed to take advantage of this
honor on every available occasion.

Clark Not Compelled to See
Bryan in Presenting the
Names Of Persons.
WILSON TO GET LIST
Secretary of State Will Pass on Speak
er's Candidates, But Presidents
Action to be Final.

Washington, March 1O.-SpeakeeI
Champ Clark will not have to5see Sec
retary of State w. J. Bryan, whom
Clark regards as his bitter enemey
since the Baltimore convention to
have certain of his Missouri candidates
for diplomatic and consular posts con-
sidered. He will present his list to
President Wilson.
This was made certain by an an
nouncement at the White House today
further explaining President Wilson's
plan to have his cabinet advisers act
as "sifters" of appointments. Sena-
tors and representatives, it was stat
ed. have constitutional right to have
their suggestions as to appolntees
considered by the President, and this
right will be observed. 1t remains,
however, strictly within the discretion
of the executive what action shall
be taken on these requests. Ihey
may be referred back to cabinet heads
for the Sitting" process.
Speculation as to whether Clark
would have to "see" Mr.. Bryan on
the appointments gave rise to consid-
erable comment in the national capl-
tal The speaker has been exceed
inply bitter against the Nebraskan.
Under the rule, as announced today,
Clark will not have to see Bryan but
BRYAN may pass on Clark's candidates,
although final words rests with Presl-
dent Wilson. '

Awaits Official Word From
Minister Beaupre at
Havana.
BACK DOWN OF GOMEZ.
New Secretary of States Move an In
diction Of How Well he Knows
Game Of Diplomacy.

Washington, March l0.-Secretary
of State Bryan has put over his first
diplomatic coup and the Safe Depart
.1nent was waiting today for official
word from Minister Bsaupre, at Ha-
Nana, on just how much victory the
new regime has obtained in the Cuban
situation. That President Gomez
Needed 'uhe warming conveyed in
Rryan's first note and has disap-
proved the general amnesty bill was
accepted as an indication OF how we'll
Bryan knew tne game Of diplomacy.
Contrary the Knox policy, Bryan
did not make public the text of his
two communications with the Cuban
president. 1t was known, however,
That they We're couched in tart terms.
Minister Besupre was INSTRUCTED to
convey Americas emphatic disap-
ploval of the amnesty bill, on the
ground that its enlarged scope would
result in a general Jail delivery Of
Cuban malcontents. When Gomez let
this message go unheeded and it was
reported that he had approved the
bin, Bryan sent another hot "call
down" to 1.-The Cuban executive. Gomez
then receded. Official notice of his ap-
pruval of the bill was withheld, and
now the executive will gracefully turn
about and announce his veto. The
Cuban congress is then expected to
re- enact the bill in modified form,
so Us to grant freedom 10 negroes i'm.
prisoned because of the Orient revo-
tuition.
Bryan inherited Knox's feeling that
there may yet be trouble in Cuba,
with discomfort apparently breeding
throughout the island and he pro-
poses to maintain firm stand under
the PlaItt amendment of the Cuban
treaty, to repress any act which
might cause revolution to frame out.
