CONTEST FOR HOUSE
LEADERSHIP STARTS
Garrett, of Tennessee, Opposing
Kitchin, of North Carolina, for
UnderWOod's Shoes.
Iron The Tribune Bureau.l

Washington, Dec. ia contest FOR
the leadership of the next House was
begun to-day by friends of Representa-
tive Finis j. Garrett, Of Tennessee.
who will oppose the ambition Of Rep
resentative Claude Kitchin, Of North
Carolina, to fill the shoes Of Mr.. IN
derwood. The supporters Of Mr.
Kitchin say that he has pledges from
100 Democratic members OF the next
House. If these are kept Mr.. Garrett
will have no chance.
There is prospect, however, in that
case that he will draw a consolation
prize. There is opposition in the House
TO the retention of Representative
Henry, of Texas, as chairman Of the
Rules Committee. His filibuster on
cotton loan legislation and his dispute
with members of the Banking and
Currency Committee over the currency
bill have paved the way for a contest
for his place, and Mr.. Garrett is being
quietly doomed for it.
President Wilson indicated to-day
that he is taking no sides in me ri
valry.

Vetoing the cut of the salary OF " al
ter L. Sears, superintendent OF the

50. 500 from $1,000, the Mayor SAID the
proper sort Of man for the once
could not be obtained for the smaller
figure. oo
The Mayor put back the $4,000 cut
from the free public lecture fund, but
did not veto the cut Of $4,000 for new
teachers in the general school FUND;
He said he did not entirely approve OF
the latter cut, but thought that IN
general fund Of nearly s33,OOO,OOO per
haps $4,000 might be taken out with
out doing much damage.
The salary of the superintendent OF
the Board Of Tnebriety was restored TO
$4,000 from $4,000, as il was stated ar
rangements had been made for the en-
ployment of an expert whose services
could not be obtained for less.
There was no necessity for putting
back the cuts in the appropriation for
medical and surgical chiefs in Bellevue
and Allied Hospitals, the Mayor said
because legislative authority for their
appointment had not been obtained
When it was he felt the aldermen
would be willing to make a special APP

In his message Mayor Mitchell called

propriety, of items of appropriation

BILE, and your action merely evidences a
Judgment as to the necessity OF falr

Hope for Adamson and TirrelL
Mavor Mitchell did not veto the cut or
the increase of 81 500 in the salaries OF
Tilden Adamson, director of the Bureau
of Contracts, and George +. Tirrell, di-
rector Of the Bureau of Standards, in
regard to which there has been so much
discussion. He indicated, however, that
after popular clamor had died down he
would ask the Board Of Aldermen to
grant the increase in the salaries Of the
t.so bureau heads of the Board OF Esti-
mate.

The $4,000 put back to provide for

said, because Il had been found i'm

In restoring the contingent fund Of
the Board OF Aldermen TO its Original
basis of $4,000, $4,000 having beer

Mayor said:
