Both Councilman Fred II. Powell.

when they were handed petitions sign
ed by every member of the incoming

lively of the body upon its reorsani-
cation in August.
Members of the council, who have
served for years with both the mem
bers had been quietly at work for
several days securing the signatures.
No ether names will be suggested.
While the two councilmen were sur
peised and pleased with the esteem in
which their fellow members hold
them. the general public will not be
surprised. for it has been general Cos
sip since the primary that the two
veteran members from the West End
would be honored.
Mr.. Powell has represented Lee
ward for a long time, while Mr.. Sea-
ton has served Clay ward for a num-
Der of years

Council Agrees
to Purchase of
Stable Property

With but four absentees common
council last night adopted unani-
mously resolution providing for the
and Clay streets, in SCOTS Addition,
now occupied as a stable for the carts
and animals used by the department
OF public works. The city has been
using the property for a number Of
years. The owner announced that
he wanted to sell, and the price Of
the land and buildings was fixed at
$5.550
President Peters expressed the be-
lief that the price named was too
much for the property. but he was
informed by Sub Chairman Seaton Of
the finance committee, that the cost
of erection of suitable buildings for
the needed purpose would amount 10
more than five thousand dollars alone
II was generally conceded by mem
hers of the body that the price would
be too high for the land alone. the
dimensions OF which are 100Si53. but
that with the structures included. the
city had n good bargain.
Under suspension of rules council
adopted an ordinance permitting Lig-
gett & Myers 10 close a portion OF

Washington, April 1s.--Collusion

charge of the sale of surplus supplies
and a com bination of outside favor
ties" was charged in the house today
by Representative Madden, Republi
can of Illinois.
The men on the outside, who arc
in the business of selling war surplus
supplies" said MI Madden. ARE MAX
ing millions cf dollars, while the gov
eminent takes any price ii can get
The favorites are on the inside and
nobody else has a chance TO buy the
material from the war department.
Il want to be distinctly understood
as saying that the men in charge OF
the sale of war surplus supplies are in
ombination with men on the outside
to whom an advantage is given and
that in no case except an exceptional
case is anybody advised that war sup
plies are declared a surplus except
these men who are given the inside,
The result OF all this is that these
men who are in the business of sell
ing war surplus supplies on the mar
ket are making millions OF dollars.
The war department never makes a
declaration of surplus, he charged,
until they find that the men to
whom they sell have found market
for them. Then they report the ma
terial which already has been sold in
advance at an enormous profit rang
ing from 100 to 500 per cent tn those
men who are faYorites and who have
the inside on the purchase and resell
ing of all army supplies declared 10

Mr.. Madden said this Information
came TO him direct and that he
made the charge on his responsibility
as a member of congress.

Republicans Lining Up
for Borah as Convention Chairman

It already has been announced by
the old guard managers that the
Keynote speech will be delivered by
Senator Lodge. If Lodge should be
seated as temporary chairman and
Borah as the permanent presiding
ofhcer, II may happen that there viii
be two Keynote" speeches and the
party can take its choice This pos
sibility, however, does not alarm the
progreSsives who are backin Sena-
tor Borah for the place.
If Senator Lodge speaks Of tho
treaty, it probably will be for ratiti-
cation with his set of reservations.
II Senator Borah gets a chance TO
address the convention. il will be
along the lines of the irreconcilable
opposition TO the whole treaty which
he followed in the senate.
The effort to land one OF the chair
manships for Senator Borah is not
construed as having anything to do
with Senator HSam Johnsons fight
for the nomination. Senator Borah
and some of those who are proposing
him as n candidate are backing Sen
ator Johnson, but the latter was not
consulted by those who projected
Senator Borah into the fight for or
EanizatiOn of the convention.
In naming Senator Borah for the
important office OF convention chair
man. the progressives pointed TO Inc
fact that during the past twenty years
all he conventions have been organ
lied by men OF the Elhu Root and
Lodge type. The progressives have
never had a look in, In the conven-
ton of 1900, for example, senator
Woicott, of Colorado. was temporary
chairman and Senator Lodge perma-
rvrt chairman
-Four years later Uncle joe Cam
nou was the temporary chairman and
Root the permanent chairman.
At the convention OF 1908 Senator
Julius c. burrows. Of Michigan was
temporary chairman and Senator
Lodge permanent chairman.
In 1912 Root held both jobs as
temporary and permanent chairman
with Stnat.r Lodge as chairman of
the Platform committee,
At the 1915 convention Senator
Harding was temporary and perma-
nent chairman

Washington April l6.--The fight
ing between the progressive element
in the Republican party and the 'old
guard" for control of the Chicago con-
vention Is on. 1t was started with the
announcement here today by Progress
sive leaders in congress that they
will propose Senator Borah for the
temporary or permanent chairman
ship of the convention.
The decision to get behind Senator
Eorah was reached after il had been
semi officially announced that the
committee on arrangements OF the
Republican national committee would
select Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
for the temporary Craftsmanship at
the meeting which is to be held in
Chicago on May 0. The Progressives
Immediately reached the decision that
they ought TO have something to say
about who WAS going to preside over
the convention and they urged SEN
ator Borah TO permit his name to
be used
Senator Borah is understood to have
given approval to the plan and ar
engagements for the fight to be made
by the Progressives were gotten UNI
der way with the announcement that
his name will be presented to the
committee on arrangements for the
temporary craftsmanship, If defeat
ed in the committee, the Progress
sives will carry the fight to the con-
vention itself on the theory that the
convention Father than a commit
tee of the national committee. should
have the privilege Of selecting its
own officers.
II the fight for the temporary
Craftsmanship should fail an effort
Will be made to land the permanent
Craftsmanship for Senator Borah. In
other words. the Progressives want
recognition and they intend to make
fight for it. One particular rea-
son why they want Senator Borah
in the Craftsmanship job is\ that he
may be able to deliver Keynote"
speech on the doctrines under which
the party will lay siege to the presl-
dency in the ensuing campaign
