The mere fact that he was a many

of the administration conservation
program, consisting of five bills, was
voted out of the rules committee to-
day. A special rule for consideration
of the Hobson prohibition amendment
was unacted upon when the commit

RESOLUTE WINS
THIRD VICTORY
IN TRIAL RACES
Defeats vanitie by About Four
Minutes-Defiance Forced
to Withdraw.

ASSOCIATED PRESS BOAT, OFF
SANDY HOOK, June 10 (by wire
less).-The New York Yacht Clubs
sloop Resolute today won the fifth
race of the series preliminary to the
selection of the Americas cup defen-
der. Over a windward and leeward
course, twenty-five miles in all, off
Sandy Hook, she beat Alexander
Cochrans Vanitie by about four min
utes without taking advantage of her
time allowance. The Defiance, owned
by the Tri-City Syndicate, made her
first appearance in the cup prelimi-
naries today, but dropped out of the
race on the first leg. Trouble with
her untried rigging had caused her TO
lag hopelessly behind
This was the third victory for Res
olute. Apparently it proved her own

Both single-stickers set their spin
makers after rounding the mark. The
wind still held true from the south

that some of the excursion fleet were
hard put to it to keep up with them.
At 2:1o p. m. Resolutc led by four
minutes eighteen seconds, according
to time taken as the yachts passed a

minutes in order to win. The breeze

P|NCHOT DEMANDS
THAT PERKINS GET
OUT OF THE PARTY
Especial to the Evening star.I

NEW YORK, June 1O.-Demanding
that George w. Perkins, chairman of
the national Progressive executive
committee, withdraw absolutely from
direction of the partys affairs. Amos
Pinchot, a member of the State and
county committees, today made pub
lie here a 4,000-word letter insisting
on Perkins's retirement "for the good
of the party.
Pinchot's letter was sent to Senator
Joseph NJ. Dixon and the members of
the national Progressive committee,
to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and
to Perkins on May 2S. To date Per-
kins has not replied. At his office
today it was said he was out of town
and could not be reached. At his
home in Riverdale it was declared
that he had left early today and it
was not known where he was except
that he was not in the city
Pinchot's letter opened with this
paragraph:
"A situation exists with the Pro-
gressive party which must be ter
minated before it can command gem
eral popular support.
THE situation | refer to is this:
ID An element in our party leader
ship, headed by Mr. George w. Per-
kins the present chairman of the
national executive committee, favors
the protection of private monopoly in
American industry, and since the
party's formation has been taking
active steps to commit the party to
that policy.
"(2) The chairman of our. executive
committee is actively opposed to the
recognition of labor's right to or
ganiZe and deal with capital through
labor unions and has frequently gone
on record to this effect. Our party
is therefore subject to the charge that
it is lukewarm or even antagonistic
to the interests of organized wage
earners.
"On both these subjects. the Pro-
gressive party has placed itself posi-
lively and definitely on record in OPP
position to Mr.. Perkins But the fact
that the executive leader and recog-
nized spokesman for the party is an
active member of the governing COM
mittee of the Steel Corporation and
the international Harvester Com
pany the two great monopolies which
have succeeded most completely in
exploiting the public and crushing
organized labor, has led to a natural
and unfortunate confusion in the
public mind"
Pinchot's letter then charges that
Perkins. through the Progressive
partys official bulletin, through pub
lie speeches and interviews and in
pamphlets printed as Progressive
party literature, has conducted an ex-
tensive pro-trust propaganda calcu-
lated to convince the party and the
public that the trusts are useful and
sacred institutions and that the Pro-
gressive party fully agrees with him
in these views"

WASHINGTON, June 10-Hope for
a vote on at least one amendment to

bill by tonight was expressed by SEN
ators when the Senate reconvened to-
day A final vote is possible. but not
probable, Senator Simmons, leader of

the amendment which he offered as a
substitute for the committee amend
ment to the repeal bill. the new sub

Senator Borah and Senator Sim

This amendment is one of reser-
walton of right" said Senator Sim

SCHOOL BOARD
APPOINTMENT
IS CHALLENGED
Ciyi! Service Commission
DeIves Into $500 Job Which
Formerly Paid So,
TEACHERS COMMITTEE
TO GET LEGAL OPINION
Selection of City Superintend-
ent's Clerk for Two Posi-
tions Perhaps Illegal.

An investigation of the right of
the Board of Education to appoint
secretary to the board of examiners
has been made by the Civil Service
Commission. The inquiry is a sequel
to the recent naming of Isaac Lowen-
stein to the position. He also holds
the position of clerk to City Superin-
tendent Addison 3. Poland.
1t is now asserted that the Board
of Education has not the power to
permit Mr.. Lowenstein to hold the
two offices. For the work of clerk to
the board of examiners, which grants
licenses to teach, Mr.. Lowenstein was
given an increase of $500 in his sal
ary This job was previously held
by Elmer X. Sexton, now an assist :
ant superintendent of schools, who
received salary of $3.50.
The Lowenstein matter was taken
up last night by the teachers COM
mittee of the Board of Education. 1t
was decided to leave it to their coun-
sci, Charles NJ. Myers. Mr.. Myers will
write an opinion on the subject and
present 1t at the next melting of the
Board of Education.
Some Adverse Criticism.
Adverse criticism has been cast at
the Board of Education over their ac-
tion on the clerkship and its salary.
The question arises, why has the
board been giving SO, $50 a year to a
man when another appointee is doing
the work for $780,
Mr.. Sexton has explained that he
devoted only half of each day to the
Office of secretary of the board of ex-
aminers. The other half of the day,
he added, he gave over to school work
and repair of books
Previous to Mr. Sexton taking I'D
the arduous duties of clerk of the
board of examiners at a salary far in
excess of what is now being paid, the
board work was done by the office of
the city superintendent and by the
supply department. These two sec
tions under Mr.. Lowenstein have
taken up the difficult work of which
Mr.. Sexton had been looking after.
| Mr. Sexton was the first person to
hold the position of clerk to the board
of examiners. There was no appar-
ent reason for the clerksA1ip to the
board wfen Mr.. sexton was taken
| from the prii,cipaisilip of the Central
Avenue School. The latter position
was filled by the appointment of Ben
jamin c. Miner, brother-in-law OF
Edgar r. Brown, a member of the
Board of Education.
Commissioner Brown and Mr.. Sex
ton are associates in school work. The
former was chairman of the commit
tee on instruction and educational
supplies at the time Mr.. Sexton was
appointed as assistant superintendent
of schools with an increase in salary.
This appointment came to Mr.. Sexton
not long after he was made secretary
of the board of examiners.

LAW At WEDDING
OF MISS WILLARD
Civil Marriage of Kermit Roose-

Daughter Performed.

MADRID. June 10.-The civil mar
riage of Miss Belle Wyatt Willard,
daughter of the American Ambassa-
dor to Spain, and Kermit Roosevelt,
son of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt,
was performed today.
The ceremony was performed at the
office and residence of the chief of po-
lice by the magistrate of the Buena
Vista district.
Police headquarters are located in
a populous section of the city and the
passage of the wedding party in five
automobiles attracted considerable at
tention.
Moving picture men were in force
and in the vicinity of the building a
small crowd gathered, which was kept
from approaching too closely by de-
tectives and policemen.
Colonel Roosevelt and Ambassador
Willard were among those present at
the ceremony after which the we'd
ding party left the city to pass the
afternoon at Toledo.

LONDON, June 10.-''We will fight
to the death before we will abandon
our struggle to obtain votes for
women Many of our members are
prepared to sacrifice their lives rather
than give up the o-use."
This statement 71as made here to-
day by leaders Of the Women's Social
and Political Union, after police raids
on their secret headquarters, in which
the pans of the women crusaders
were captured. The open declara-
tions have gravely warned the gov

perhaps bloody retaliation-is feared.
On account of the police raid of
their headquarters it was believed the
future policy of the women will be to
conduct operations from their homes
rather than from any definite official
headquarters. This, they believe,
will make it difficult for the police to
ascertain and anticipate their at
tacks.
Another bombshell fell in the gov
eminent camp today when it was
