REED NOT TOSEEK
NEW HOUSE TERM
D. C. Committee Head An
nounces Decision-ZihIman
and Lampert in Line.

Representative Stuart F. Reed of
District committee, announced today
that he would not be a candidate for
reelection.
During the entire session Repre-
sentative Reed has not been well and
has been under physicians care,
although not critically i'll.
Having recently been elected n
member of the national republican
congressional committee. and being
an ardent supporter of President
Coolidge, Representative Reed ex-
poets to take an active interest in
the work of the Coolidge organize
ton.
Serving Eighth Term.
Representative Reeds home is in
Clarksburg, W. Va, and he represents
the third congressional district. He
is now serving his eighth year as a
member of Congress. He expects to
retire at the end of his present term
in March, 1926. He has never been
defeated in any election and was as
Sured of reelection if he cared to
return to Congress.
The withdrawal of Represen tative
Reed will leave a vacancy in the
Craftsmanship of the House District
committee. Under, the seniority rule
this would be filled by Representa-
tive Fred y. Zihlman of Maryland,
who has been acting chairman during
the ieness of Representative Reed.
Representative Zihlman is also chair
man of the labor committee, but it is
understood that he would relinquish
the Craftsmanship of the labor COM
mittee to become chairman OF the
District committee.
Lampert in Line.
II Representative Zihlman does not
succeed to the Craftsmanship, Repre-
sentative Florian Lampert of Wiscon-
sin, who is now chairman of the COM
mittee on patents, would be next in
line.
However, this vacancy would not
occur until the new Congress, which
might be democratic. In that event,
Representative Thomas L. Blanton,
the ranking democrat, would be in
line for the chairmanship. In the
meantime, it is likely that there will
be several changes in the personnel
of the House District committee in
both the republican and democratic
membership. Some Of those who are
now in line for the craftsmanship may
be drafted for chairman of other i'm
portant committees. 1t is, therefore,
merely speculation to say now who
will be successor to Chairman Reed

tons committee in reporting the War

airy, the appropriations committee fol-
lowed the same policy as in other ap-
preparation bills for the fiscal year

tions for salaries of civilian en-

ported today for the fiscal year be-
ginning July 1 next is SS.768-s11,
which provides pay for approximately
2l3t employees

ton amounts to about $4,000.

specific appropriations for civilian
employees IN the departmental service
and do not include employees on al
lotment rolls. where authority i
given for the use Of limited amounts
from certain field appropriations for
payment of employees in the War De-
partment in the District of Columbia

approximately $50 employees. On these
rolls the increase caused by reclassi-
fication is approximately s22,600
This amount, together with the in
crease in the specific appropriations
makes the total increase of $113, 500
caused by the classification of the

BOUTWITH DEMPSEY
is FIRPO'S AMBITION
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Luis Firpo
has said more than enough, even
granting his small stock of English,
10 indicate that one of the main ar
suments Richards agent used to pry
the Wild Bull from his native pampas
vas the prospect Of a meeting with
Jack Dempsey this year.
Out in Jersey today Luis spoke
with great optimism concerning a
1924 match with the champion and
was concerned lest Jacks automobile
smash-up, in which he injured his
right arm, might delay matters.
It will delay matters, all right. Or
it will at least give Rickard a fine
chance to kiss himself out of any
representations Juan HONS may have
made to the big fighter in Buenos
Aires. Things always break we'll for
Tex, and in this case there was no
exception to the rule of good fortune.
OF course, even with an uninjure ed
arm, Dempsey would have done no
fighting in defense of his title this
year. His movie work will keep him
engaged until it will be too late to
train for an outdoor bout, and an
indoor title fight is out of the ques-
tion, if only because of the gate re-
ceipt angle

Manion was the favorite in his match.
not only because of his S-to-7 victory
over Evans yesterday, when he shot un-
beatable golf, well under par. and in
cluding a hole in 1, but because he has
been scoring well all week, including
qualifying rounds Of II and 10.
While Seckel is fine golfer, and won
the title in 1911, he has not performed
asN well as Manion, although he quail
fed only strokes below Manion, and
in the second round eliminated no less
a golfer than Frank Dyer of Memphis,
who, while resident Of New York, won
the metropolitan championship.
Seckel, who was a former Princeton
University golfer, won his way to the
semi-finals by defeating William Medart
of St. Louis, 2 and /.
In the other match H. R Johnston,
four times Minnesota champion, was
picked by the experts as a likely winner,
for aside from a temporary slump yes
which he overcame Eddie Held of st.
Louis. 3 and 1, he has been playing par
or better nearly all week
In fact, he shot 13 holes in 4S We'd
nesday morning and scored 5 brides in
defeating e. H. Bankard of Chicago, 6
and 5. His 80 for the first nine holes in
that match set a record, and it has been

holes yesterday afternoon. Manion's 80
included a long conceded putt, which he
proDaDly could not nave noleu, ana an
ace which he got on the sixth hole. when
Evans, trying to play stymie, knocked
Manion's ball into the cup.
