In Time to Be Pinched
While Mrs. Fred Sutter. 1846
North Eighteenth street, and Mrs.
W. Retnyski, 1848 North Sixteenth
street, engaged in an old-fashioned
hair-pulling and biting fight, the for
mer's husband intervened just in
time to be arrested with them when
police arrived.
The argument arose over the fact
that Mrs. Retnyski informed the gas
company that Mrs. Sutter had been
paying her gas bills under her
maiden. name, according to police.
Holland and Denmark have both
returned women to Parliament dur
ing the last 12 months.

Washington, June 12. First steps
toward the reorganization of the
army under the law passed at the
recent session of congress were
taken by Secretary of War Baker
today when he announced the ap
pointment of four hoards to prepare
classifications of officers.
The hoards will meet next week.
One of the boards, which is as
signed to prepare an initial list ol
officers for general staff duty, is
headed by Gen. John J. Pershing.
In order to be placed on the general
staff eligible list officers must have
graduated from the army staff col
lege or the army college prior to
July 1, 1917, and have been recom
mended for duty as commander or
chief of staff for a division or higher
tactical unit or for detailon a gen
eral staff. Others -who are eligible
are officers who since June 6, 1917,
have commanded divisions or higher
tactical units or by actual service in
the world war have demonstrated
that they are qualified for general
staff duty.
To Discharge Officers.
Another board is headed by Lieut.
Gen. Robert L. Bullard. This board
will classify officers who are to be
retained in the service and those
who should not be retained. Officers
designated for discharge shall not
finally be so classified until thev
have been given an opportunity to
appear before a board and a chines
to present their side of the case.
Under the law brigadier generals
shall be appointed from officers of
the grade of colonel of the line, and
this board will make up an eligible
list for this purpose. The first
board that convenes may place upon
the eligible list in addition any of
ficers of the line of not less than
22 years' commissioned service.
The fourth board appointed by
Secretary Raker is to prepare a
promotion list of all officers of the
engineers, signal corps, infantry,
cavalry, field artillery, coast artil
lery, Porto Rico regiment and
Philippine scouts, who were ap
pointed to the regular army or the
Philippine scouts prior to April 6,
1917.
New Promotion System.
Officers will be placed on this list
according to their length of com
missioned service, and will be pro
moted as vacancies occur from tlic
top of the list. This list establishes
a single promotion list such as yas
recommended by Gen. Pershing
as distinguished from the former
practice of maintaining separate
promotion lists in the different
branches of the service. The chair
man of this board is Col. Walter
II. Gordon.
Firemen Win at Base
Ball; Policemen Are
Best at Tug-o'-War
The city firemen and the police
split even Friday in their "athletic
meet" at Rourke Park, the, firemen
winning the ball game, 13 to 5, and
the coppers pulling the firemen off
the ladder in the tug-o'-war.
The tug-o'-war was more one
sided than the ball game. The cop
pers won in less than a minute.
Here's the way the cops lined up
for the event: Vance, Graham, Jen
sen, Anderson, Schrader and Heller.
The firemen were represented by
Guinottte, Westinghouse, Dunn,
McGuire, Schultz and Hope.
An otherwise pleasurable day was
marred during the fourth inning of
the ball game when Fireman Phil
Adams, protesting a decision of Um
pire Johnny Gonding at third base,
leaped out of the stands and struck
Gonding. The decision was fair in
the opinion of a majority of the
spectators and a howl arose over
Adams' actions.
Errors on the part of the coppers
were chiefly responsible for their
defeat.

Convention
Sidelights.
By FREDERICK PAISLEY.
Clilruito Tribiine-Oiiinna Hoe I.msrcl Wire.
Chicago, June 12. William How
ard Taft, former president, arrived
in Chicago this morning en route
from the west to New York. He
remained but a few hours. His mis
sion was not political, it was announced.
Demand for tickets to the Coli
seum increased tremendously when
it was announced that balloting
might begin '.cday. The prices
ranged from $10 to $25 a ticket.
Speaking about convention weath
er, Irvin Cobb recalled that he has
just received a letter from a friend
in Yuma, Ariz. "It's so hot out
here," it read, "that today I saw a
dog chasing a jack rabbit and they
were both walking."
One of the wagers on the nominee
recorded today was made by Capt.
Robert Foster of Newark. N. T.,
who wagered $1,000 with L. K. Lig
gett, the drug magnate, that Wood
would be the nominee, Liggett tak
ing the field.
Jesse Whaley, formerly a ser
geant with Company K, 31st regi
ment, who was blinded in France in
September, 1918, was an interested
visitor to the Coliseum today. "This
is one show a man can 'see' with his
ears, he said.
Three hundred policemen and 425
scrgeants-at-arms are required to
keep the peace at the Coliseum.
Col. Theodore Roosevelt, jr., and
Samuel. Gompers stopped the work
of the platform committee 10 min
utes yesterday to exchange greet
ings. They had not met in many
months. Then Mr. Gompers told
the committee what kind of a plank
labor wanted.
Hot weather brought many hot
arguments in the corridors along
Presidential Row. House detec
tives adopted the "keep 'em mov
ing" policy to avert fist fighting.
Gossip has it that the plank com
promise was effected at a meeting
in Murray Crane's room at the
Blackstone hotel at 4 a. m. yes
terday. It is said that Senator
Borah and Senator McCormick
threatened to stump 'the country
and Senator Lodge threatened to
fight the platform from the floor
of the Coliseum unless Crane sur
rendered.
Charles Evans Hughes is quoted
as saying he is not a dark horse
and does not seek the nomination.
Four years ago he said the same
thing and refused to lift a finger
in his own behalf, but he was nom
inated all the same.
William G. McAdoo got a good
laugh when he went around Presi
dential Row telling people that of
course he was not a candidate.
Among those who are pleased
with the platform are Lowden,
Wood, Johnson, Harding, Butler.
Sproul, Poindexter, Coolidge and
most of the others.
After sweltering for over two
hours in the Coliseum the delegates
were ready to adopt any platform
their resolutions committee gave
them and go ahead with the ballot
ing. The- prophets are getting chary
with their words now that the time
approaches when a majority are go
ing to be proved wrong.
The delegates are having a hard
time figuring out when their trains
will get home under the daylight
savings ordinance.
Sinn Fein and Labor
Win in Council Election
Dublin, June 12. The completed
returns in the county council elec
tions show a Sinn Fein victory great
er than was expected. This was
owing to a compact between the
Sinn Feiners and labor not to op
pose each other in Leinster, Mun
ster and Connaught, while in Ulster
there was a similar compact between
the nationalists and Sinn Feiners to
make common cause against the
Carsonites.
Out of 699 seats, the Sinn Feins
as a distinct party, won 525, while
the combined forces of the Sinn
Fein labor and nationalist captured
590 seats.
