By a vote of 50 to 6, with nine
members declining to vote, the Ma
tional Committee of the Progressive
party Endorsed Charles E. Hughes
for President at a meeting in Chica-
go and the "Bull Moose" party prac-
tically went out of existence as po-
litical organization. The decision to
indorse the Republican nominee
came after a stormy session, and a
great many of the Moose leaders de-
clared their intention to support
Woodrow Wilson rather than
Hughes. There is growing evidence
of this every day right here in Lin
coin county and Kentucky.

RESENT
BRANDE|S LETTER

The fate OF the nomination OF Louis
n. Brandcis for Justice Of the Supreme
Court IL more than ever up in the air
since the publication OF the letter of the
President,
Instead Of lessening the opposition 20
Brandeis In the Senate. II was declared
today the letter OF the President has
only made the opponents moro deter
mined.
Senators feel that the President. In
his letter. sought to put them In
hole" and to make out that the men
In ConCress opposed TO Brandeis wore
championinE the cause Of crooked busi-
ness. This has angered some of the
Senators who are against Bra ndels. and
has angered their friends.
II was said today that a number OF
Republicans and also Democrats who
are against the confirmation OF Brandeis
not only were incensed at the letter OF
the President, but that they would make
a strong effort to have the nomination
considered In open session. They want
the country to know just what 10 back
OF the opposition to the nomination.
Il may, therefore, be expected that
when the Judiciary Committee finally
acts there will be n hot fight In the
Senate over the question OF the open
session for the consideration or the
nomination. The hackers OF Brandeis
want the nomination considered in Sc
cret session. They fear a general airing
OF the charges against Brandeis would
weaken him.

MILITARY LEGION
TO TEACH RIFLEMEN
Meeting to Outline Campaign
Called for Tomorrow Night.

The Military Service Legion Of the
District will discuss preparedness to-
morrow night at the National Guard
Armory.
The meeting of the legion has been
called to consider several important
matters for the next years campaign.
The members of the legion who have
TONED the rifle club and offered their
services as instructors at the winthrop
range. have been impressed by the
desire of the members of the civilian
rifle clubs attending practice on the
range to know something more of a
soldiers duty.
The legion has among It's members
some of the best drill masters and mill
tary experts In this city. retired militia
officers and former officers OF the
volunteer army. These men believe
that by organizing military companies
for instruction purposes solely, they
will be able to give such civilian rifle
men ms desire II. some real idea OF a
soldiers work.
The insignia OF a order and special
matters considered ny the council since
the last meeting will also be considered

WAITE SOUGHT HAND
Of RICHER HE|RESS

NEW YORK. Nav 9.-That DR.. Arthur
Warren Waite. poisoner of his million
aire father-in-law, John 4. Peck. OF
Grand Rapids. married Miss Clara Peck
only because he failed to 'ensnare a
richer heiress. is the belief today of the
district attorney.
The theory follows startling revela-
tions made to the district attorney by
the heiress herself.
DR.. Waite met her at Palm Beach in
the winter OF 191i-l5, and was in her
company a great deal. She knew DR..
Waite wanted to marry her and was
favorable to him.
The match. however. was prevented
by the girls parents. who found DR..
Waite to be. not a gay gallant with
plenty of money. but a poverty stricken
fortune hunter.
That DR.. Waite would have worked
out his poison plans on the parents OF
the girl Is the Arm belief of the prose-
cutor.
Waite married Miss Peck in Septem-
ber. 1915, after brief courtship. He Is
now In the Tombs awaiting trial on a
flrst degree murder charge.
The name of the girl for whom Waite
tried will not be made public unless she
is summoned as a witness at the trial.

Senate Definitely
Rejects Gen. Smith
Blocks Move in Executive Session
To Reconsider Previous
Adverse Vote.

The Senate yesterday defeated the
effort to get a reconsideration of the
vote rejecting the nomination of Gen.
Robert G. Smith. of New Jersey, for
another team as a member of the Dis
trict Excise Board.
This definitely defeats General Smith
for confirmation. The Senate was In
executive session for a time today, hav-
ing recessed In executive from Satur-
day. Today the executive session was
adjourned. This MARKS the close of the
second executive session since the re-
lection. Under the rules, there Is no
further opportunity for reconsideration.
Rejection of Geenral Smith and re-
fusal of the Senate to reconsider means
that a new appointment will he made
by the President. II Is assumed the
President will make no attempt to
continue General Smith In office In view
of the rejection. A move by Senator
Hoke Smith to pave the way for -e
consideration was beaten by a vote OF

Speed Regulation and Other
Problems To Be Put In the
Hands Of Commissioners.
SUBSTITUTE TO MILLER BILL
Consideration Of Pollcemen's
and Firemen's Pensions Goes
Over to Next Meeting.

speec of automobiles in the District
OF Columbia will be regulated oy inc
Connie sdoners and not by act OF Con-
gress II q bill ordered reported today
by the House District Committee 10
enacted.
The bill. offered as n substitute for
the Miller measure. would authorize inc
Commissioners to establish trafhc
zones, prescribe the speed limit In he
several sections of the city and make
any other changes necessary In the ex-
listing traffic laws.
II was proposed originally In tho bill
offered by Congressman Miller Of Dela-
ware, that the maximum speed OF auto
mobiles. except in the downtown sec
tions OF the city, should he eighteen in
stead of twelve miles an hour. The
present low speed limit fixed b! Con-
gress cannot be changed by the Conn.,
missioners.
When the House District Committee
met today. Congressman Vinson Of
Georgia offered motion that sub
stitute for the Miller bill be reported
and that this substitute leave the speed
and traffic problem in the hands Of the
Commissioners. This motion was ac-
cepted by the committee as the proper
solution of the question and II was or
dered that the substitute bill be re-
ported.
Vinson To Report.
Congressman vinson will, prepare the
report, which will be filed within a few
days. 1t Is believed that Congressman n
Ben johnson, chairman of the House
District Committee. will call the auto
mobile bill up as soon as the District
is allowed a day in the House.
The District Committee did not con-
slider the police and firemen's pension
at the next meeting Of the committee,
at which time the bill to permit money
lenders and pawnbrokers to charge
instead of per cent on small loans
will be considered.
