To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Sir-The FirstsWard Tammany Club,
the only recognized Democratic or
ganization i'm what was the First
ward, wants to refute a story pub
lished by one of your contemporaries
on a recent date, The article in ques-
ton claimed for the club mentioned
in the story a predominating influ-
ence in Democratic politics in the
First ward.
A reference to your issue of Oc-
tober II, 1912, will, or should, convince
any sensible man as to the stability
of statement coming from a man
who never was known to vote in the
ward or district. The minute men"
named by the national Democratic
organization are members of the First
Ward Tammany Club
Two of our rules for membership
are that the applicant must be q
Democrat, and also of age. We do
not permit gambling, and our club
rooms are open only to honest Demo-
cratic voters.
Undoubtedly we meet in a large
room in the rear of a respectable
saloon, since we have not yet found
an angel to pay rent for sky parlor.
Our dues are small, and the money
is devoted to the comforts of our
members. Yours very truly,
MICHAEL O'SULLIVAN,
President First Ward Tammany Club.

Fpr Branch Brook Park Canoeists-
To The Editor Of the Evening Star;
Sir-As a suggestion for improve
ment of canoeing facilities at Branch
Brook Park, would say that a boat
house for canoeists alone be built in
the vicinity of the band-stand, near
Park avenue. Or another location APP
proprlate for house is at the end OF
the lake, near Bloomfield avenue
The present conditions in regard to
the housing of canoes in the boat
house near Orange street are too
crowded. At that place there are but
two small spaces along the entire
length of dock where canoes may Re
launched. This is not the fault OF
the lessee of the boathouse, who must
also have a place to dock his row.
boats, but II is the fault of the Essex
County Park Commission, who in the
zeal to beautify the parks through
out the county have apparently ever
looked one of the most important i'm
provemepts of any.
Who, on walking through Branch
Brook Park, has not stopped and
watched the canoeists as they pad
died about the lake? Are they not
one of the essentials. in adding beauty
to the scenery of the park? If so,
why not make it convenient for them
to store their canoes in boathouse
where they will not become scratched
and broken owing to crowded con-
ditions? Hoping this will appear in
your column in the interests of fair
play for the canoeists, | am

farmer, and Robert got very little

However, he managed to learn to
read and used to carry his books
into the fields with him to snatch a
few moments reading during the
day. At mealtimes he sat with
spoon in one hand and book in the

senate chamber where he officiated as

A RIFLE PRACTICE
FRIGHTENS WOMAN

rifle practice of the ST. Paurs company
of the Boy Scouts almost caused a
panic this afternoon among the wom-
en- passing the st. Paul's Episcopal
church on North A street. The sharp
crack of the rifles of the young scouts
caused furry when six women, on
their way to the Gennett, passed
at the same time that the command
was given the boys to fire. When the
rifles were discharged the women
we're seen scurrying across A street.
Their screams and the report of the
rifles almost caused a riot call
