BENED|CKS DEFEATED
AT POLO BY POWHATANS
Make Uphill Fight and Lose by Only
Three Points, 0vercom-
ing Big Lead.

| Two pickup" teams composed partly
of local men and partly of out-of-towr
talent staged a particularly fast ane
spectacular polo game, at Potomac Parl
yesterday afternoon. Although 1t wa:
not a match game, few regular tourna'
ment performances could have gained
more absorbed attention from the spec
tators that lined the course in motor
cars and carriages.
I The "Powhatans' won the game by a
count of points to 5. Their opponents
the "Benedicks." made game uphill
fight. beginning when the score was 7-z
against them. Those on the former
team were Kent Legare, E. W. Hopping
John O'Day and Burrell R. Huff Those
on the "Benedick'' aggregation were
Hugh Legare. Arthur Perkins. Juilan b
! Huff and w. r. Hubert. Hopping, one
of the best polo players in the country
and a six goal man AS regards handi-
cap. was the bright particular luminary
of the contest, scoring goals, Wntie
Arthur Perkins starred for the losers
The game was remarkably fast and open
with time out only on one or two occa
sions. The field was heavy and slow
but the ponies and men overcame this
handicap to gratifying degree.
! At 4:30 o'clock Fred Allison, referee
tossed out the first ball and the first goa
by Hopping came after four minutes anc
| f1ftyf five seconds of play. In the seconc
"Chukker' Hopping scored two more
In the third ODay of the same team
scored in two fine drives from midfielG
and Perkins robbed Hopping of goa
within ten feet of the posts. Just be-
fore time was called Day scored again
Goal After Minute of Play.
In the fourth period Hopping scored a
goal after one minute of play and in q
minute and half another.
Perkins scored for the 'Benedicks' ir
the fifth and missed another by inches
Hopping scored one and missed another
on a remarkable aerial shot In the sixth
five fine successive strokes from midfieid
In the seventh Hugh Legare and Juliar
Huff scored for the 'Benedicks," the lat
ter team showing great improvement ir
the second half. Perkins scored again
in the final and another goal was missed
after excellent team play had taken the
ball two-thirds the length OF the field
Joseph p. Amin served as timekeeper
Referee Allison had compare lively
easy task. but two fouls beings called
one against Perkins and one agains,
Hugh Legare. and there were no acci-
dents. The ''Powhatans" were distin-
gushed by red shirts and the fact thai
their helmets had no back porches
while the "Benedicks" shirts were white
and their headgear was brimmed al
around. The former team allowed the
latter two goals handicap. so that the
actual points scored stood to 3.

Time for Good Judgment.

1t is not bad thing for the Illinois
republicans that they have so many
experienced politicians in the delega-
tlon TO the national convention. The
situation is going to be one in which
good judgment is essential to secur-
ing and maintaining party unity While
these politicians are, of course selfish
their selfshness only can be subserved
through party success. So while their
motives are not unselfish, their judg-
ment as to what is best for the party
Is likely to be unbiased. None of them,
so far as | have been able to discover,
is engaged in a conspiracy to defeat the
Will of the republicans of Illinois. The
trouble is that nobody yet knows what
the Will of the mass of the party is,
because the mass has not determined
Its own attitude. There is confusion ap-
preaching chaos.
All the presidential candidates are
looking to Illinois. Conversely. it may
be that Illinois is looking to other
states for support for its own favcrite
son. But the situation is not one in
which deals can be made. Nobody can
afford to trade sight unseen.
Illinois, in the past ha sheen consid J.
cred Roosevelt territory. The way Col.
Roosevelt swept il from under Taft
four years ago still makes some of the
old line republicans gasp when they
think of what happened to them. But
their memory of that experience has
been sweetened by the evening up of
scores two years later. Now there is
not much resentment. The desire for
party harmony and to get the state
solidly in the republican column and
keep it there is too strong to leave
room for revengeful sentiments. The
adage that il does not pay to keep
books in politics is being observed

HAITIAN PRESIDENT MAY QUIT,
Demands Fulfillment of the Treaty
With America

PORT Au PRINCE. Haiti, April %
The recent act of Haitian senators
and deputies in meeting in defiance of
a presidential decree dissolving the
senate and in constituting themselves
national assembly, has caused Presi-
dent Dartiguenave and his cabinet to
threaten to resign il the deputies and
senators meet and insist upon assum-
ing legislative powers. The executive
officers Will agree only that the legisla-
tors perform the task of framing
new constitution in conformity with
the American treaty and dissolve after
the constitution is adopted
The American authorities are sus-
tanning the contention of the execu-
tives and demand of the officials of
the two bodies that they subscribe to
an agreement to meet only as con-
stitution trainers. as the executive
planned when he constituted the sena-
tors and deputies a national council to
perform this allotted task.

Say He Is sweetly Reasonable.

| Some of the folks who are in posi-
| tion to know Col. Roosevelt's frame Of
mind tell me that this is not true and
candidacy. They represent him as in a
he cannot be expected to ignore the
evidences of public confidence which he
receives. The events of a few weeks
will determine whether Col. Roosevelt
is actually in a mood of sweet reason
ableneSs. His Chicago conferences with
his midwest lieutenants may help him
to reach a mood of this kind. Then,
again. it may not for many of them
are of the type which must have an
idol.
What Col Roosevelt's conclusions as
to his feasibility as a candidate before
the republican national convention may
be. and however far his obsession may
carry him. it is very clear that the ILL
nois republicans as a body are not OBJ
sessed with the idea that they must
take him. He undoubtedly has many
supporters, but, SO far as there is an
obsession. ii seems to be that If his am
bition is not curbed he will have to be
beaten even at the cost of party defeat
again. There are very many repub-
licans who feel that they can get along
another four years under a democratic
national administration They don't
want to do it because they are against
the Wilson administration on his for
eign policy. Mexico and on every
thing else. but some of them who speak
out say they will vote for Wilson in
preference to Roosevelt. if that alterna-
tive should be presented. Others are
passive in their opposition but, if any
thing. more determined.
AS a matter of personal observa tion
II seems to me that these republicans
are unduly exciting themselves. Not
wlthstanding that much of the west is
s(Tt1T1 lf.VN
Roosevelt territory it does not appear
that the western country wants the
colonel so badly ne wants himself.
Clouded by fractional Issues.
How badly Illinois may want him
when it comes to voting in the nation
al convention is complicated by fac
tional issues. These have no interest
outside the state. but they have
marked influence in the state
Former Gov. Deneen's control of the
party machinery has been pried loose
and with it goes the membership in
the national committee. Mr.. Deneen
himself is delegate and SO are others
of his followers. Quite naturally in
the final roundup they might not find it
convenient to range themselves along
side their victorious party rivals
The governorship is also involved
The combination which is assumed to
be the winning one is that of Senator
Sherman with former Representative
Frank Lowden a candidate for
governor and Mayor Thompson for
committeeman. While the De-
neen following under the presidential
primary is bound to support Senator
Sherman, it may be in something of a
hurry to get off the reservation. But
there seems little likelihood that any
com bination can be made with presi-
Dental candidates which will affect
the Illinois state situation. The fac
tions will have to fight IL out among
themselves just factions in other
state delegations are doing. c. NJ. P.

Partly Due to Roosevelt.

This feeling is partly due TO the sweet
ened mood of Col Roosevelt himself. 1t
might not be just to call it a chastened
mood. but il is noticeable that the col
onels supporters are not abusing any
body They are far less numerous than
they were four years ago and even two
years ago. but there are still enough of
them to he counted II is a passing mo-
nent that most of them seem to prefer to
he counted republicans than as bull
lnoosers progressives.
There is still progressive state
ganization. and | believe there will be
delegates from Illinois to the progressive
national convention.
Nobody seems to recall their names and

CHICAGO. ILL.,. April e7.-They have a

number of veterans who have come

Claim of Other Years.
Always the claim was made that
through caucuses and manipulated
conventions the Will of the people was
defeated. In those days the reformers
bitterly lamented the lack of pri-
maries. They were sure that when this
reform was brought about they them
selves would b. elected delegates to
conventions and the machine poll
ticlans would be defeated. But the
primary Is here and in operation and
the machine politicians are being
elected delegates to nominating con-
'entlons Just as of old.
90 not mean to say that this is a
condemnation of the primary system
or that defects in ii may not be rene
oled, but ii is a safe guess that when
TINS is done there will still be machine
polltlclans elected delegates to nomi-
natlng conventions. BY their grace
there may also be reformers and rep
resentatives of the better element to

STREET RAILWAY MEN
WISH TO SELL TICKETS
Protest Against Order Which Prohib-
its Vending for Excursion to

One Employe Declares in Meeting
His Determination to Solicit

Capital Traction Company prohibiting
their employees from selling tickets
while at work on their cars to a two
day excursion to Chesapeake Beach.

pices of division $50 of the Amalga-

the chief subject of discussion among
the street railway employees last night
and various predictions were made as
to its result. The order. it is explained.
does not refer to the relief associa-
ton excursions which are held by the
employees of each company annually.
One street railway msn summed up
the situation as follows:
Well sell the tickets whether the
companies give US permission ;I1 TO 40
bunch of tickets in his pocket and
will sell them whenever an oppor-
tunity presents itself: Ihe money
raised as the result of the excursion
is to be applied to a good cause. the
establishment of a sick benefit fund.
We believe the public is with US and
will buy the tickets. 1tll be pretty
hard to prevent US from selling them. :

anti SUFFRAGE notes

The following notes we're taken
from the "Remonstrance." the anti
suffrage paper. which is published
every month by the members of the
Massachusetts Association of the Ma
tional Association OF Women Opposed
to Woman Suffrage:
The Suffragist the organ Of the
Congressional Union, processes to be-
lieve that "by putting suffrage first
and party affiliations second, women
can make the suffrage issue a decid-
ing factor in the next presidential
campaign Even a small group of
women" it says, determined to stand
out for the long-delayed enfranchise-
ment of their sex throughout the ma
ton, can form the balance of power
and can demand and secure the i'm
mediate passage through Congress Of
the Susan B. Anthony amendment"
In support of this statement. The
Suffragist proceeds to indulge in
mathematical calculations. Seven per
cent. this, ten per cent. that, twelve
per cent. the other, and so on. and the
thing is done
What The Suffragist seems to for
get, or at least thinks best should be
forgotten. is that the organization
which It represents tried this very ex-
pertinent only two years ago, and the
results were not at all what had been
mathematically figured out.
The feud between the Congress
sional Union and the National Woman
Suffrage Association extends even to
the matter Of hats. The official party
