LITTLE BOY GETS.
FATHER MA MED
To Positionin the Army and
Soothes Vice President -
Marshall and Wife.

lWAsst4iRSlg fsfS5S, D. o, Nov. f0-s--
Thomas Marshall Sutherland, age
four years, has succeeded in accom-
plishing what many senator would
be unable to do. He has not only
soothed tho vice president and Mrs.
Marshall and proved company for
them during many lonesome hours
of their life in Washington, but he
has succeeded in having a West Vir-
ginian appointed by the president to
position in the army. The ap-
pointee is his own father, the Rev.
Alexander ID. Sutherland, of Berkeley
Springs. who has been appointed by
the president to be chaplain in the
army with the rank OF first lieuten-
ant. Some persons are so unklnd as
to say that it was the vice president
who succeeded in having his former
pastor appointed to this. army posi-
ton. But, those who know give full
credit to little Tommy for obtaining
the position which his father desired,
and where he thinks he can accom-
plish more good than in West Vir-
ginia.
Tommy is the little boy who has
been sent for on several occasions by
Vice president Marshall to pay him
visit in Washington. and who as
sisted in presiding over the United
States Senate on one occasion. While
he is given cyredit for obtaining the
appointment for his father, 1t wilt
he useless for other applicants to
undertake to secure his support in
their behalf, for he steadfastly re-
fuses to read letters OF that nature.
Mr.. Sutherland will enter the army
and be ordered to his post as soon
- the nomination is confirmed by
the Senate. "A

SENATORS MAY CALL
FOR WILSON 'SSTORY
Ambassador to Mexico May
Be Asked About Attitude to
Huerta Regime.

Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson will
be called before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee and be asked
to give the committee In detail his
version Of the conditions In Mexico.
This fact was disclosed following
meeting OF the committee TODAY Al
which the Nicaraguan treaty and the
Mexican situation was discussed. Sec.
retary Bryan attended the meetine
ard explained the Nicaraguan treaty,
II is expected that Ar1bas assador VII.
sor, VIII be asked. when before the com.
mittee. what the facts are with refer.
ence to the murder Of Madero, and how
far he has been instrumental in bolster.
ing up the Huerta regime.
President Gives Advice.
Two important phases of the Meri-
can situation came UP at the meeting
today. One was the decision 10 call In
Ambassador Wilson. The other was the
fact that President Wilson sent word to
the committee that he wanted no action
taken by the committee at his ime with
reference to the embargo on shipment
Of arms. The President wants to be
free to deal with that matter as he sees
fit, either to shut on arms from the
Huerta government or lift the embargo
entirely.
The question of mediation In Mexico
or any other decisive step, such as In
tervention, was not discussed.
1t developed more clearly than ever
that the Nicaraguan treaty will be fay-
orably reported by the foreign relations
COMMITTEES. Secretary Bryan had the
perfected treaty with him. This was
gone over In detail
Opposition Gives Way.
Later. it was stated that some of the
opposition to the treaty in COMMITTEES
was giving way. In any event, the COM
mittee is expected soon to make a IA
vorable report. The treaty as perfect
ed is slightly but not essentially modI-
fed from the form first proposed.
The committee will meet again in spe-
cial session next Tuesday. Ambassador
Wilson Is expected to be before the
committee then.
The committee ordered favorable re-
potts on the nominations OF F. c. PEN
