Washington, Sept. 24. Tne trouble In the ranks of the grand old re Dubllcan party are not confined to
the troubles between the regulars and
insurgents. The regulars are baring troubles between themselves. Their troubles will not come to a bead until the campaign for the control of the next house of representatives is set tied In November. Theirs is a family
row over the management of affairs,
Members of congress, regular republicans, who are drifting into Washington spasmodically these days looking after wants of constituents,
are red hot over the campaign man
agement methods of the republican congressional organisation. They believe that a serious mistake has
the last two years, and that the congressional campaign managers of the regulars will hare to forsake old political campaign methods and adopt
the progressive ways of the Insurg
ents to get supporters and succeed
at the polls.
Publicity Is what the malcontents in the regular republican ranks want
i uvj jHnnt gut mat uc uueue, wuiu-
mlns and the other successful Insurg
ents maintained press agencies and
like former President Roosevelt nev
er allowed their names or ideas to grow cold In the columns of the press.
They want the congressional organisation to go Into publicity business. , Wanted Publicity Bureau.
When the house ways and means
committee, was digging Into facts preparatory to the special session that enacted the much discussed Payne-
Aldrich tariff law, the republican con
gressional leaders were approached
by a number of regulars with a publicity campaign. They asked Chairman McFJnley, Vice President Sherman, who was formerly chairman and It still In power. Speaker Cannon and a few others who make up the machinery, to start a publicity bureau
which should give the republican side
of the tariff bill In the making and
defend the measure from Insurgent
,as well as democratic attacks.
This movement was led by Representative Rodenberg, of Illinois, An
thony of Kansas, Currier of Maine, and others, and they had aiding them
former Representative Jim Watson of
Indiana, a clever politician, and a
man, who as a republican whip of the house, had aided the Cannon
machine In many bad places in which
It had found Itself.
The leaders .refused to go Into the publicity proposition. They told the promoters of the proposition that the
house organisation did not need this
kind of work. When it was Minted

they said It did not matter, that the
republican organisation was so strong that the Insurgents were not bother

Now the republicans who wanted
the organisation to go Into the publicity game are heard In a chorus of "I told you so." They say that unless the congressional committee wakes up and decides to go to the people
of the country through the newspaper
columns with Its Ideas and promises.
and promises fulfilled, there is surely
to be a new makeup of the commit

senting the dominant party In the house or a committee representing
. the minority. One Thing Net Shown.
There is one thing that visitors to
Washington never have shown to
them by the departmental guides,
That is the overworked, energetic
women clerks of both the treasury and the war, state and navy buildings.
Persons who are constantly In the ai . . .
Duuoings ana nave occasion to fre
quently traverse tht corridors of
tidier of tht two giant buildings have
to travel In a sigsag course in order to make headway. Especially is this necessary In the afternoons. The reason Is that the corridors are crowded with promenading women
clerks.
It Is the young women employes, not the old ones, who are being lnpaeltated owing to the Idea that old
clerks are not competent, that promenade the corridors. An army officer who had trouble breaking his way ... down a corridor In tht war department tht other day owing to the number of women employee who were 'promenading, suggested that the corridors should be turned Into flower and palm bowers, and that It would bt tver to much more pleasant If tht government would furnish orchestras to nlay daring tht afternoons.

Beatrice Turnbull-Balbwln of Brook-
line, Massachusetts, , declared by her
mother, Mrs. Lillian Ashley Turnbull, to be the granddaughter of E. J.
("Lucky") Baldwin, the California mul
ti-millionaire, who died last year and over whose estate a record-breaking lawsuit threatens just now. Mrs. Turnbull says she married Baldwin
by secret-contract, and lived with him
until she heard rumors 'of his esca
pades with other women. She came east and married Dr. Turnbull, who knew her complete story. Mrs. Turnbull has engaged counsel and will make a strong fight to have Beatrice secure a share of the estate. The law
yers engaged by Mrs. Turnbull have implicit confidence in her story and have agreed to finance the suit.
lantic fleet into the Mediterranean waters this fall. It will be necessary
to recruit at least 15,000 men for the i
service before the sailing of the fleet In November.
Getting the right kind of material
and making good aailors is not an easy task. The department will not
take a majority of those who present
themselves for enlistment
In order to get at the better class
of available material a new scheme is to be shortly Inaugurated. It is the intention of the department to give
exhibitions wherever practicable of a
ships' galley showing how the salor-
man of the navy is fed and just what he is given to eat The initial exhibit will be given In New York City and
from there it will go to Knoxville, Tenn., and then on to the state fair
at Dallas, Texas. The exhibit will
show a complete ship's galley, with
electric range and ovens, potato peelers and all of the electrical contrivances that go to making cooking on a warship sanitary and convenient The exhibit will be in charge of a regular crew and what Is turned out in
the way of roasts, stews, bread, cake,
etc- will be glfen to the visitors.
It is believed that a practical dem
onstration of what the sailorman is
fed, and how the food is prepared will aid the work of the enlisting officers.
(American News Service.) : ' New York, Sept 24. In smaller
cities the population of which in
creases but moderately, it Is com
paratively "easy to provide adequate
school facilities for the children of the citizens. It is different however. In a large city like New York, with its tremendous increase of population. Here the task becomes well nigh her
culean and it is scarcely surprising that the school authorities find themselves unable to keep pace with the city's hothouse growth. Last year the enrollment of school children in New York's public schools was 680, 868 and, owing to a lack of adequate accommodations, 53.7S3 childsen were compelled to be satisfied with halftime. This year the enrollment is estimated at more than 705,000 and it will be necessary to put 57,000 or more children on half-time. An increase of about 24,000. children in one year is no small item,' even for a city
the size and. population of New York. As usual, the opening of the schools of the lower east side was marked by many amusing . incidents and a great deal of confusion. Under the rules parents entering their children, had to submit the children's birth certificates and other papers, referr
ing to vaccination, etc. But some of the east side mothers appeared ; with doctor's bills or gas bills Instead. of the birth certificates and a few in
stances they brought even marriage licenses and peddler's licenses. . The principal of one .of ' the" schools in the most thickly, settled foreign-districts of the lower east , side ' was no little astonished when she saw a Turk bringing to school his little girl, dressed in a bathing suit of brightest hue. The Turk wanted to have his daughter enrolled, but the principal, through an interpreter, informed him, that if ' he wished to have the girl admitted he
would have to have her ' dressed ' in suitable attire. . The Turk went sadly away and did not return. , Life in a municipal jail is not what it Is "cracked up" to be. There has been the general Impression that the civil prisoners, especially those well provided with money lead a rather pleasant and cheerful life In the city's jails, but recent disclosures show that the conditions surrounding .these prisoners are by no means as pleasant as the public was. led to (believe. - The
conditions in the civil section of Raymond street jail, where many divorced
men are imprisoned for failing to pay
alimony, are said to be particularly
bad, reminding one of the gruesome accounts of medieval dungeons. According to the statements : made by some of the members of the "Alimony
Club" confined in that jail, the place
is overrun by rats and the members
of the club were compelled to take
turns standing guard at night to scare away the rodents.
ine guests in tne tuning room or a fashionable hotel In Brooklyn were thrown into a panic the other evening, when a young and fashionably dressed woman, sitting alone at one of the
small tables, suddenly became in
sane. She began to shriek, throwing
the whole room full of diners into confusion. Then she jumped up. upsetting the table and causing havoc to the china and glassware. Several waiters rushed toward the woman, who continued to scream and threatened to become violent but she eluded them and ran into the lobby. Assisted by several women the manager succeeded in quieting the woman and she was removed to the Kings County hospital. The woman had registered
at the hotel under the name of Ellen Messenger the night before, but had no baggage. It is believed that the name given by her is fictitious and her identity is still shrouded In mystery. : .- .: ,The other day a man was run over and killed by a sight-seeing automobile. It was ascertained that his name was Cohen and that he had lived with his family at No. 47 Avenue D.; A telephone message was sent
to the nearest police station with the request' to send a policman to the address mentioned to notify the family of the death of the man. The lieutenant-, who received the message mis
took Avenue D for Avenue B and sent
an' officer to the wrong address. By a strange coincidence a family named Cohen lives in that house and when the officer made his announcement, there was consternation in the Cohen family. Mrs. Cohen, accompanied by her three children, started at once for the -morgue to Identify the body of her husband and one of her rela
tives notified the Russian benevolent
society to which the supposed victim belongs. In a short time the arrange
ments for the funeral were made and a plain coffin sent to the house. On
her way to the morgue Mrs. Cohen
met her husband, alive and well, be
ing on bis way home and wholly unconscious of the fact that he had been reported dead. Later on another policeman was sent to No. 47 Avenue D, where the widow and 15 year old son of the dead man were waiting for the return of the head of the family. , New York is a thoroughly prosaic
city and there is not much room for
romanticism in it . Antonio Martello,
who left sunny Sicily some time ago and emigrated to the great city across
the water, where so many of his couiv
trymen do a thriving business in the fruit-vending or blackmailing line, could sing a song of New York's lack of romanticism, were he not otherwise
engaged breaking rock at the worKhouse. T'is a sad story. Antonio has a pleasing and insinuating tenor voice and. like most of his countrymen, is a born musician. When he still trod the fertile soil of Sicily Antonio was in the habit of strolling through the moon-lit streets of his native village
every night with his guitar and seren
ading the numerous senoritas upon whom he lavished bis affections. In
accordance with this habit he started out with his guitar the other night
serenading some of the women whose,
charms had attracted him. But the prosaic people of New York have no respect for the tender passions of a" Sicilian lover. Complaint was made and a rude policeman arrested the singer and his guitar and took both '
to the. station. Antonio was afterward brought before a magistrate who, being an American, and without poetic feeling, had a strong prejudice against troubadours. 'Antonio, unconscious of
having committed any wrong, admit ted having serenaded toast of the charming Americana la his aaiborv hood and was promptly ttnt to tha -workhouse for twenty days.
