HONERULEGALED ROSEVELTPOLY Duhamel Reassures Oldest Inhabitants on President’s Probable Choices. Prediction that President Rooseveltl would appoint commissioners who “will | conform with the wishes of the citi- wens,” was made last night by James| F. Duhame] of this city, who served ‘with Mr. Roosevelt as State Senator of New York, at Albany. Mr. Duhamel spoke at a mecting of | the Association of Oldest Inhabitants | of the District of Columbia. ! “Some of the civic workers of| | | ‘Washington would like to know the probable attitude of the President re- garding the District of Columbia,” said Mr. Duhamel, “and in this respect the matter of “home rule” has been one of the cardinal doctrines of the Demo- cratic party in New York State and the President has never been known to Jeave that beaten path. Little Friction Noted. “While Tammany has differed with many of the Governors of New York, ;et, during the administration of Gov. | | oosevelt there was little friction, and this has been in consequence of his ‘thome rule policy. “For this reason,” said Mr. Duhamel, “we may hope ta get high governing | officials that will conform with the wishes of the citizens and when the‘ stress of national wants is lessened it | is to be hoped that the President may | select loyal and acknowledged compe- | tent commissioners conversant with the intricate conditions, of Washington government. i “It must be remembered,” said Mr. Duhamel, “that Tammany attempted its arrogant and dictatorial methods of whom declined to surrender their | prerogatives as the representatives of described it as a most interesting back- ground of courageous President John Clagett Proctor, vice of the organization, who the absence of the president, Theodore W.

Mr. Proctor con- sented to withdraw his resignation “for the time being,” and there was no vote on_ the nominees. Mr. Driscoll briefly addressed the association stressing the importance of civic work.

BILLINGS, Mont., April 6 (#).—The West lost one of its last links with gonm days when Mrs. Elizabeth Custer died Tuesday in New York. She was the widow of Gen. George A. Custer, Indian fighter. For 57 years after Custer and his entire command of more than 200 men went to their deaths on the banks of the Little Big Horn, near Crow Agency, Mont., in 1876, Mrs. Custer vigorously defended her husband’s actions and motives in rl’mpfllflnl the last major Indian battle. A controversy raged for years after the battle. Whether additional reve- lations at this late date will be of value is doubted by students of Custer’s last campaign. Old soldiers and pioneers who were in contact with Custer and his famous Seventh Cavalry when it took the field to subdue the Sioux and heyennes always have maintained the ‘full tru { the battle would never SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO | Much Finer Dres; Shirts $700 Y $398 in black, Pumps and Ties in Tan Water Smokes.

A word picture of Mr. Roosevelt | when he first entered the State Senate was drawn briefly by Mr. Duhamel. Describing a group of new members of the Senate taking the oath in groups of six, he said thete younger, smooth-faced man, with good complexion and in very good humor, but there was much evidence of excite- ment and nervousness in his actions, although he entered into the talk and animation of his little group. The cere- mony being over, I made no effort to learn the identity of this group, al- though I later became acquainted with them in the Senate and the young man I especially refer to was Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Describing the fight made in the Btate Senate by the “insurgent group” of Democrats, with Mr. Roosevelt as the spokesman, Mr. Duhamel recalled the Roosevelt opposition to William H. Sheehan of Buffalo for United States Senator, and the later-election of Judge James O’'Gorman of the New York County Supreme Court to represent the State in the Senate here. Mr. Roosevelt, Mr. Duhamel recalled, had been elected over John F. Schlos- ser by a vote of 15,708 to 14,568 in ‘what was then and has since remained a strong Republican district compris- | ing Columbia, Dutchess and Putnam.
