Special Despatch TO TIE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. G., Feb. :.
Democratic leaders in Washington
moved hastily to-day to block the at
tempt of the w. G.. McAdoo organiza-
ton from gaining control of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. Repre-
sentative Champ Clark (Mo.), minority
leader of the House, together with
others prominent in Democratic af-
fairs, issued statements demanding
hat Thomas B. Love, Democratic
committeeman from Texas, and those
assisting him in the demand that
Chairman George White resign, be
squelched. They interpreted the agi-
tation as the beginning of a boom for
Mr.. Adoo for the Democratic Presi
Dental nomination in 1924.
Meantime Mr. Love. the prime mover
OF the insurrection against Mr.. White.
sent a telegram to the committee chief
saying six other members of the COM
nlittee desired to add thir names to the
petition forwarded last night demanding
meeting in st. Louis or some other
centrally located city on March ]. He
called attention to the fact that the
number of signatures now is in excess
OF a majority. The total is SO there are
los members of the committee.
One OF the additions to the list is
James II. Moyle, Democratic Committee
man from Utah. who served as an as
sstant Secretary of the Treasury under
Mr.. McAdoo. Mr. Love. who Is leading
the revolt, also served as an assistant

II am utterly opposed TO precipitating
a fight over the craftsmanship of the
Democratic National Committee. either
at present or SO early a date as Mr.
Love suggests Mr.. Clark declared II

indorse it In toto. The only question
pressing for solution now Is paying Oft
the deficit in campaign expenses.
George White Is a man of character
and ability. He made an uphill fight
last year and did it we'll No mortal
man could have led the Democrats to
victory. Mr.. White deserves we'll of the

OF boosting some particular Presidential
candidate are trying to force him TO re-

Owing to the very high cost of build

Jeffrey and his board have found it very
difficult to provide a suitable Shelter

the state, and had it not been for the
generosity of Montpelier in donating the

than likely that the building would not
have been located in this city. The en-
tire appropriation has been found only
adequate for the construction of the

wiring, and as a result the building will
not be available for the use of the chill
dren unless private funds are donated

estimated will require about $500. The

Hunting and Fishing License
Blanks DELAYED

Town Clerk R. L. Barrows received a
bulletin from Linus Leavens, Fish and
Game Commissioner, under date OF March
Doth, stating that on account. of pending
legislation the copy for license blanks for
hunters and fishers had been delayed in
going to the printers, and it will therefore
be impossible to issue the regular licenses
a present. In view of the license, however.
receipts may be issued, to be exchanged
later for the approved blank, which will
be provided in a few days.
The amounts charged for licenses have
been Increased little this year. Resident
fishing licenses are 75c as against Coo for
merly, and resident hunting licenses are
increased by the same amount. Non-resi
dent fishermen have to give up 50 80 as
against $500 in former years, and if
non resident combination hunting and fish
ing license is desired $1,000 is the cost.
Residents pay 81. 25for the same privilege,
the former price being 81 90,
There isnoreciprocal form between the
states as in former years, and the new law
provides that persons fifteen years of age,
or over, including women, must procure
licenses.
