NEXT SPEAKER
MAY BE Mann
Improved Physical Condi-
ton Seems to Warrant
Belief in Candidacy.

Representative James r. Mann,
minority leader of the House, will be
a candidate for the Speakership when
the Republicans assume control on
March T. This was generally accepted
as an assured fact last night, follow
ing Mr. Mann's appearance on the
floor yesterday and his lively activity
IN the proceedings of the House.
Mr. Mann's attitude with regard to
the Speakership was rendered doubtful
because of his physical condition. AS
result OF the great strain under which
he had been laboring during his long
term as Republican leader. he was
forced to seek rest early in the last
session of Congress, and underwent
a long period OF medical treatment at
his home in Chicago.
About three weeks ago he passed
through Washington, en- route to Bal
timore, for a thorough examination
by the experts at Johns Hopkins Hos
pital. 1t was understood at that time
his candidacy for Speaker depended
upon the result of this examination.
When questioned on this point yester-
day. Mr.. Mann said:
The doctors didn't say anything
disappointing to me. They didn't find
anything the matter with my health.
Regains Lost Strength.
His appearance on the floor of the
House was fully reassuring to his
friends that he had regained much
lost strength and that he would soon
be in perfect health again. A slight
weakness in his voice was the only
sign of his recent illness.
The determination of Mr.. Mann to
stand for the honor will bring about
warm contest, with Representative
Frederick II. Gillett. OF Massachu-
setts, as the principal opponent Mr..
Gillett has been. acting floor leader of
the Republicans during the absence
OF Mr.. Mann, and has won many
strong admirers who will throw their
support to him. There may be other
candidates. but the issue is expected
to rest between Mann and Gillett.
Representative Madden. of Illinois.
who announced that he would be a
candidate in the event that Mr..
Mann's health would not permit him
to seek the gavel now understands
that the latter will make the con-
test. Mr.. Madden. therefore. is not
making any further effort to line
up supporters.

new TRIAL WON
BY KLEINDIENST
Court Reserves Verdict
Against Former Detective,
Convicted in 1915.

The conviction of Raymond o.
Kleindienst in District Criminal
Court in May. 1915. was reversed
yesterday in an opinion by Mr.. JUS
tice Robb. who directed a new trial
on the charge of adultery.
Kleindienst, formerly a precinct
detective, was arrsigned for an al
legged Immoral relation with Mar
garet Stout, who a few days pre-
viously had been convicted by the
same jury of conducting disor-
derly house, Kleindienst was SEN
fenced to three years in the peniten-
tiary.
The motion of his counsel to sum-
mon another venire of jurymen.
which had not heard of Kleindienst
and his visit to the woman's house
mentioned in the Stout case. was
refused by the trial Judge. For
this reason the majority opinion in
the Court OF Appeals held that
Kleindienst was not given a fair
and impartial trial as guaranteed by
the Constitution"
1t was agreed in the appellate
court that the penal code provision
under which Kleindienst was SEN
fenced which makes the maximum
three years in the penite2tiary
does not hold. The penalty for
adultery is governed by the pro-
vision of the District code which
is punishable by a fine of $500 or
imprisonment not to exceed one
year. or both.
The fact that the trial court failed
to require the government to elect
which of the visits of the accused
to the Stout woman's house resulted
in the alleged offense was regarded
as an error
Chief Justice Smyth suggested a
reversal for new sentence but
not a new trial.

acid crystals is allowed to continue
incurable bladder or kidney disease
may result Attend to it at once
