FA|N HURT BY
MAYOR'SA|D
Of PACE
Dark Horse May Succeed Mason.
Vernoy Expected to Control
Second Ballot.

Insistent rumors of dark horse
as chairman OF the Board of Police
Commissioners were current in politi-
cal circles Thursday, owing to the
action of Mayor Woodward in indors-
ing and openly campaigning for Rob
ert T. Pace as head of the board.
The Mayors activity had dissipated
the belief that Vice Chairman William
P. Fain was assured OF the chairman
ship, and has complicated the situa-
ton so that any member of the board,
apparently, has a chance
Neither of the three avowed candi-
dates for the place William p. Fain,
w. A. Vernoy and Robert T. Pace
will have the necessary seven v5tes
when the board meets next Tuesday
to elect a chairman.
Clarke Joins Mayor.
The lineup indicates that Fain will
not receive more than six votes, owing
to the veering of Robert c. Clarke 10
the Mayors side,
Political wiseacres give Pace five
votes on the second ballot, with Yer
noy in doubt, although on the first
ballot the latter is expected to get
three.
On the first ballot 1t is understood
that Fain Will be supported by Com
missioners Baskin. Smith, King,
Dixon and himself; Mr.. Pace will
have the votes of Commissioners
Clarke, Colcord, himself and the
Mayor, while Commissioners Vernoy,
johnson and Garner will vote for
Vernoy
Vernoy viii Hold Power
The shifting will begin on the sec
ond ballot, when Johnson and Gar
ner are expected to desert the stand
ard Of Vernoy and go to Pace and
Fain, respectively This will give
Faln six votes and Pace five, and will
leave the balance OF power in the
hands Of Vernoy, who is generally
conceded to have little chance Of cleo
ton.
Vernoy, by voting for Fain, can
elect HIM; and by voting for Pace
can perpetuate the deadlock which
would force the election of a Compro-
mise candidate or leave Fain IN con
troll as actual chairman. This. It is
understood. is extremely likely, be-
cause both Pace and Fain declare
their supporters will stick to them
1t is generally recognized that the
Fain men will not go over to the
Mayor and Pace.

gress to NuIIify Exemption

WASHINGTON. March 5.-Declar
ing that the exemption OF American

was the exemption clause regarded as
debatable or as open to question. He
said he had not come to Congress to
deliver personal view but that con-
siderations Of iustice and wisdom led
him to believe that the proviso should

The President added that the Unit
ed States ought not to bubble" in
the matter of a treaty obliga ton. He
intimated that the Panama Canal
tolls question was involved in all the
other foreign questions now before
the United States because he would
not know how to deal with them I'M
less the exemption is repealed.

Declaring that the request OF the At
las Bridge Company to the Street ami
Sewer Department to allow them to
open up Fourth street to extend a water
main down that street and over Chris
tiana Park to the proposed new bridge
at Third street, was but an attempt to
have another city department lock horns
with the Park Commission. Samuel "A.
Baynard before the Park Commission
yesterday afternoon, declared there was
no haste in the matter. He favored the
laying OF the request ON the table. This
was done after Mr.. Baynard said there
apparently was purpose in the request
and the ease might present another as
pcct within q short time.
Mr. Christy stated that the Street and
Sewer Department did not wish to grant
the request or take any action in the
matter without first consulting with the
park board. The board, after consid-
ering the matter, said it appreciated the
courtesy of the department in coming
TO them before acting in the matter. The
question WAS then referred TO the spc-
cial committee having charge Of the
Christiana Park matter in reference 10
the Third street bridge.
