MANY SEEK POSTS
IN DISTRICT SERVICE
More Than 200 Applications
Received by Commissioners.
Vacancies Lacking.

The rush for office under the Distri It
government, though not So great as in
the first days Of the administration,
still continues. More than 200 applica-
uons have been fled with the new
board. the impression seeming to be
that q number Of removals are contem-
plated While the Commissioners have
made no statement of their future pol
icy, il is understood that sweeping
changes in the personnel are not con-
templated, the purpose OF the hoard
being to retain in the service those en-
ployes who have rendered and are con-
ttnuing TO render efficient service. In
other words. partisan politics is to play
no part in the new administration.
More than 100 Of the applicants bear

houses OF Congress. many OF whom have
called in person 10 urge the claims OF
their proteges. One or two members OF

MAJOR RAYS SUIT TO
COME UP TOMORROW
Army Officer Seeks to Force
War Department to Give
Him Desired Promotion.

The case Of Major Beeeher B. Ray,
U. s. A. will come up before Justice
Barnard, In the District Suprme Court
tomorrow ON Rays petition for an in
junction against Secretary Of War Gar
rison and Assistant Secretary Of War
Breckenridge. Major Ray is asking the
court to enjoin the War Department
from certifying some one other than
lieutenant colonel and the position OF
deputy paymaster general.
Major Ray was the most bitterly at
tackled officer in the United States
army during the course of Congress
sional investigation following his nonii-
nation by President Taft for this po-
come involved with a woman, the wife
of civilian clerk in his office.
Senate Did Not Act.
The name Of the woman never was
because II was made known
that her husband had forgiven her, and
that they were living together. Blame
for the SCANDAL was placed on Major
Ray. according to testimony before the
Senate Committee on Military Affairs.
Major Rays political activity in behalf
of the Republican party also was much
discussed. The Senate committee recon-
mended the promotion, but the Senate
did not act on the nomination.
On May II Of this year. Major Ray,
the proper military channels,
says the petition for the injunction,
made application to Secretary Garri-
son TO have the proper steps taken
to have the Senate act on the NOM
ination, but the Secretary refused, II
is stated, and Acting Secretary Breck-
inridge also has refused to act.
Vested Right Is Claimed.
It will be argued by attorneys for
Major Ray that he is in every respect
qualified, willing, and able to perform
the duties Of deputy paymaster gen.
eral- an that there 10 no valid objec-
ton to nor cause for complaint
against him. The petition for the
court order says Major Ray has never
been found guilty of any offense by
and is not subject to
or removal. II is asserted
that the major has a vested right to
and the legal aspect of the
case will hinge on this question. to
some extent, at least, say attorneys.
United States Attorney Wilson and
A ssistant United States Attorney
will appear for the Sec
retary and Assistant Secretary of War
and Ray will be represented by Rufus
S. Day, of Washington, and Stephen
A. Day, OF Chicago.

BLA|RLEE'SSTOCK

Talbot is seventy years old, and he
declares that a campaign OF caricature
and villification would be more than
even a seat in the United States Senate
would be worth to him. He declares
that he has received much encourage
ment on the subject OF his candidacy.
The stock Of Blair Lee, however, ap-
pears to be on the rise. With four Of
Talbott's colleagues in Congress flock
ing to the Lee standard. the Lee boom
grew. Only Senator John Walter
Smith of Maryland is now listed as
hacker Of Talbot, although the Balti-
more city machine is urging his can
didacy.
The Democratic State central com
mittee will meet on Wednesday,, This
committee is likely to decide the fate OF
the Talbot boom. and, according to old
politicians in Baltimore, 1t will be
against Talbot.
Eastern Shore State senators with
few exceptions are committed to Lee,
according TO a canvass just made, de-
spite the fact that this section OF Mary
land has always been a Democratic
stronghold, supporting Senator Smith.
Many Talbot men are urging the
Congressman not to run, although they
have agreed to back him IL he does.

GLEN ECHO ACCIDENT
Collision in Which Several
Were Injured Considered in
Its Scope.

An investigation Of the collision be-
tween two cars of the Glen Echo line
Of the Washington Railway and Elec-
trio Company between the Rock Springs
Club and the District line last night, In
which several persons were injured.
may be taken up by the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Attention of the commission was call
ed officially to the accident In a COM
munication from Beriah Green Under
wood, editor of Pepper and Salt, and
this communication is now under con-
sideration. Though no official action
has yet been taken, 1t Is believed by the
commission that II has the power and
authority to undertake the investiga-
ton. In view of the fact that the line
was carrying interstate passengers.
Before action Is taken, however, the
commission will consider the Supreme
Court decision in the Omaha case, dis
tinguishing between interurban and sub.
urban electric lines
No reports Of serious injuries sus-
tained by any of the Passengers have
been received by the police. according tc
a statement at headquarters today. The
accident occurred between Rock Spring
and the District line. More than a
score Of persons, four Of whom were
treated at the Georgetown University
Hospital, were slightly injured and
many suffered from shocks and bruises.
The cars met In rear-end collision.
That the accident was not more serious
was due to the nerve Of william Shott-
roff. motorman Of the rear car, who
stuck to his post and reversed the
motor when he saw a collision was
inevitable.
Those treated at the hospital were
Miss Emily Hickey. Hyattsville Nd.
cut on the nose and lips and bruised
about the body; William Shottroff, mo-
torman, severe cuts and crushed right
finger on the left hand: Mrs. s. ]. s.
Joseph, $50 X street southeast, cut on
body; and Ralph Campbell. 11s Mary
land avenue northeast. cut on right
le-
All but Miss Hickey have been re-
moved to their homes. II was said at
the hospital today that her injuries
were not regarded as serious. but II was
thought better that she remain at the
hospital for a day or two.
The accident was due, IL was reported,
to the fact that the plow lead on car
No. 1902 dropped down, resulting in a
loss OF power which extinguished all the
lights except the rear signal lamp. Be-
fore the trouble could be adjusted car
No. 1910 crashed into the stalled car.
Both cars were crowded with passen-
gers returning from an evenings cutting.

Borah Not Worried.

That the proposed extension of the
British naval base. in the Bermudas, Is
of no special significance as to Ameri-
can relations north of Panama, was
the view taken today by Senator Borah,
a member OF the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee. Nothing has yet ap-
peared," he said, which tends TO show
that our influence in Central America
will be affected by the presence of a
large British force at that point or
course, the suggested possibility of
Germany's getting a naval base in the
Danish or Dutch West Indies is another
question. Such an exchange Of terri
tory to German control would be in di-
rect violation of the Monroe doctrine

Denies Office Exists.

In a demurrer to the Injunction suit
filed by Major Beecher 3. Ray to pre-
vent the Secretary of War and Assist
ant Secretary from recommending the
name OF any other officer for appoint
rent as deputy paymaster general OF
the army, the Government takes the po-
sition that at present there is no such
office In question. The demurrer de-
clares that the act Of October /, 1890,
is void, so far as II attempts to deny
the constitutional right of the President
TO appoint officers IN the army. The
demurrer will probably be argued be-
for Justice Barnard Tuesday.
