in the hands of Washington newspa
permen. A newspaper does not nee.
essarily have to send its Washington
correspondent to write the conven
ton news, but it usually does. Con
sequently the political committees
have found II convenient to leave all
the press arrangements in the hands
Of the committee of newspapermen
which is elected annually to boss the
press galleries in the national CAPT
tol.
The biggest job handled by this
committee Is the seating Of all the
newspapermen who apply to report
the proceedings of the conventions
At the Republican convention there
will be something over 500 seats, and
there have been over 1900 applica
tons for them, Consequently, the
correspondents committee has to
break over 400 hearts but it is do
ing So ruthlessly. Only the biggest
newspapers Of the country are given
seating, and their privileges are be-
ing limited.
Heretofore it has been n fine ar.
rangement for the owner Of some
big city newspaper to get block of
press section seats at the convention
and occupy them himself with his
family and guests, giving a sort of
convention house party, as it were,
while the working newspapermen
stood up or found what seats they
could get in the auditorium. This
year 1t is to be different. A strict lin
itation Is to be put on those who en-.
ter the press section. Any newspaper
owner is welcome to sit In the seat
assigned to his paper, but II he does
so his paper will have to go without
the news, unless the owner chooses
to do the reporting himself. There
will be no extra seat for the regular
correspondent OF that paper. II tho
boss takes the seat, the working re.
porter will be shut out automatically.
No little diplomacy was used by
the correspondents committee in seat
ing the reportorial staff of the Cen
trail Press Association Of Cleveland.
This organization signed up the three
big headliners, William ]. Bryan,
Samuel G. Blythe and Irwin s. Cobb.
to cover the conventions. Blythe and
Bryan are not good friends. not at
all. Therefore, 1t was feared that
IL they were placed in adjoining
seats incidents might arise which
would take the attention of the con.
vention away from its regular bust
ness. All was solved, however, when
the committee remembered that Cobb

Washington, May 26.-If Oliver
Goldsmith could see Washington In
about three weeks he would prob
ably be so moved by the bucolic quiet
of the place that he would write
another Deserted Village. Congress
will be officially in session, the gov
eminent departments will be running
and the stores, will be open for bust
ness, but Washington will be very
dead The politicians. the congress-
men and high government officials,
and the newspapermen will all be out
to the great party convention at Chi.
uago and later at st. Louis.
Every four years Washington ex.
periences this exodus. The town has
its quiet period of Information, and
then comes the resurrection as every
body comes back from the conven'
tions to talk about them.
The politicians will lead the parade
to Chicago. The various headquar-
tiers of the Republican candidates
will begin moving out to Chicago
next week. Next will follow the
newspapermen, Most Of them will
get into Chicago during the week Of
May 20 In the final group come the
congressman and other officials.

NOVEL PHASES OF
WARFARE IN PERSIA.
Humorous as Well as Serious Sides
of the Scenes.

London, March 27.-The French min
lister at Teheran, Persia, has written
a letter just received in diplomatic
quarters which throws a sidelight on
some of the novel phases of warfare
at that remote scene of action. The
MINISTER has the reputation OF being a
wit, and he sees the humorous as well
as the serious side of the scene about
him.
The Persians were greatly exercised
when they first heard the Russians
were sweeping down from the north
The terror OF the Cossacks spread
ahead Of them, and the people looked
forward to having their threats cut in
a general era of massacre. The coming
of the Russians was awaited with
gravest apprehension.
The first Russians to arrive at Te-
heran were a large party of officers on
theft way further forward to the front
They were in fine automobiles, strik-
ingly dressed and well equipped. They
went to the best hotels, spent money
freely, paid in full and a little extra
for their elaborate demands, and then
proceeded, leaving the people TO think
that the coming of the Russians might
not be so bad for the dropping
| finances of Teheran.
The next Russians were headed by
the commander-in-chief of the Russian
forces operating in that section. He
was a typical Cossack born on the
steppes north of the Caspian, a huge
man in furs, with a bearslIin hat.
Back of his automobile was a line of
| huge autovans. These vans excited
the wonder and fears OF the populace,
as likely to let loose some new device
of Russian terror. The commander-in-
| chief proceeded direct to the palace of
\ the shah, where an audience was given
| amid doubts and apprehensiohs.
| With the greetings concluded, the
commander-i chief ordered the mo-
| torvans to enter the royal court, and
| as the shah looked on he saw the vans
| bring forth a great assemblage OF
Russian dancers, male and female
but chiefly female-in gay dresses and
| Spangles and female acrobats and
snake charmers, all in the picturesque
| Earb of the east. These, the command
Cr-in-chief made known, were a pres

porated into the royal seragTio 1t was

dancers soon displayed their charms
and everyone from the ruler down q
the plain people were enthusiastic owe
the coming of the Russians
This good impression at the start ha1
much to do with the later develop
ments, and the diplomatic observer
concluded that the Russians had sue
ceeded in renewing some OF the wa,
amenities of the middle ages, when tn
victorious generals distributed present

DOINGS in THE AUTO WORLD
Decided Defect of Car in Season the Loss of Power
Gasoline Economy Demands Attention.-Ponts on
Driving Down Hill.

One decided defect Of a car that has
been in use for season or two, is loss
of power. This defect, If carefully
traced, can be easily remedied without
expert assistance. The cause must be
traced and the repair carried out
with care to be permanently effec-
tive. Loss of compression is one of
the chief causes, and can easily be
traced. Pull the starting handle up,
and if there is no leakage a decided
effort should be required to turn the
engine over. If any of the cylinders
has little or no compression, the crank
ing will need no effort
Loss of compression can be caused
by several defects, the chief of which
is leakage past the valves. This can
be remedied by carefully grinding
them in until a good and even surface
is obtained on both the valve seating
and the valve face.
Another form of leakage OF COM
preston occurs between the piston
and the cylinder wall. This may be
traced to badly fitted or worn piston
rings. A properly fitted ring should
fit its groove exactly, with no slack
ness whatever, but must be just free
to move; it should touch the cylinder
walls also evenly all round. To get
the latter condition fulfilled success
fully new piston rings should be
ground into their cylinder. When re-
moving the cylinders for cleaning the
heads free from carbon, never NEGLECT
to remove the piston rings and clean
their grooves thoroughly. II this pre-
caution is neglected, the carbon form
ed behind the rings will prevent their
free action; they will consequently
fail to make proper contact with the
cylinder wall. With older engines, the
cylinders may be found TO 1Tave worn
oval and the pistons also. The only
remedy for this defect Is to have the
cylinders ground true and new pistons
fitted.
Pre-ignition caused by carbon on
the cylinder and piston heads is fire.
