ORGANIZED REVOLT
AGAINST SMITH AN
! ANTI-PEMOSE STEP
Washington Partymen and
Members of Republi
can Ward Committee
Would End Former Post
master's Leadership.
An organised revolt atsalnst the leader
ship of former Postmaster Thomas B.
Bnilth, with a closely allied atitl-Fcnrose
motemenl, has begun In Ilia 23lh Ward.
Thl w admitted today by members
of the republican Waul Cohunlttee. The
Hist steps In Ihe move to oust Smith
haxe been taken by Washington parly
iron.
Smith Is a icsldent ot Glcnsldc and, ac
cording to those leading the revolt, for
number of years has not had the right
to Note In the Mth Ward or U maintain
Ms leadership there. Despite his Glen
lde residence, Washington parly men as
lert he lias continued to vote In the
SSth. Ward and lias been the actual lie
publican leader. Republican committee
men declare they do not object to his
votlns there, but oppose- strenuously his
methods In cnforclnc hl3 leadership. As
t concrete Illustration of his autocratic,
control, one member of Ihe Ward Com
mittee today pointed to Ihe election of
Jeph Smith, Thomas B, Smith's brother,
is chairman of the Ward Committee.
"Thomas B. Smith never Mud ben a
member of the Ward CommllUr until ho
was chosen chairman," I ho protesting com
mitteeman declared. "We were nol asked
nether tvo would ncept him, but Ihe
word was passed out that he was to be
placed there and we nati no cnoice mtt
lo elect him. Please don't Rive my nann

fnr If thev knew I was fomenting a re
olt I would be ousted before mun days."
A meeting of the Ward Committee 1ms
bcn called for tomorrow night when the
entire question probably will b" thicslied
out. The prime movers In the revolt
Admit that as yet they are a minority In
the Waid Committee and doclarp thai
unless they can win others to their way
of thinking, the protest will be futile. At
present there are 72 members of the I!e.
publican Ward Committee. More than 20,
It is claimed, are In sympathy -with the
anti-Smith movement.
While there have been no open ne
gotiations, co-operation between Wash
ington Party men and the revolting
Republicans. In the ward Is ndmitted.
On the second registration day. Sep
tember 15, William r. Kicfer, a Jeweler,
r Washington Party registrar and com
mitteeman, challenged Smith on his at
tempt to register from tho 16th division
nf the 2Sth Ward. The challcngo was
Wed on Smith's Glcnsldo residence.
Smllli immediately made aflldavlt that
he was s properly qualified resident of
the 15th division. He was then nllowed
to register. The matter was brought
before the Commltt'eo of Seventy and
they intend to make a thorough inves
tigation. If the facts warrant they will
take the case to tho courts.
One point In common between the
Washington Party followers and the
republicans In levolt Is a strong antl
Penresc sntlment. TIiIh is admitted by
loth sides. "The leadership of Mr.
Smith in our waid," one of the Repub
lican commUtecn"n stated today, "Is
for nothing else than to create a Pen
rose condition, and th feeling of the
naJorlts of the Republicans here is not
toojjnrm foi Mr. Penrose."
ifthc revolt gains sufficient strength
to act against Smith, it Is believed one
nf the first steps will be to oust Milton
K. Iteedmoypr. the Republican City
Committeeman from the "Sth Ward. To
f.rt this would" require a two-thirds voto
ot tho ward commltttc.

NEW YORK. Sept. 53.-A special dis
patch to the New York Times from R. M
Anderson, of the Canadian Arctic Ex
pedition, dated Baillle Island, N. w. T.,
August 21 via Nome. Alaska, September
22, says Vllhjalmar Stefansson, the Arc
tie explorer, nnd his two companions,
Vorkereson and Ole Anderson, have not
been heard ftom since the supporting
party returned from Iceland early last
U'lll.
Stefansson and the two men started out
from .Martin Point on a journey of dis
covery over the Ice In a supposed at
tempt to reach the coast of Banks Island
In the opinion of Mr. Anderson It Is
doubtful if they succeeded In getting far
to the northward, on account of the pre
vailing strong easterly winds nnd gen
eral westward offshore currents. There
had been much open water off shore from
Baillle Island all the spring.
Captain G. H. Walklns, n command ot
the schooner Mark Sachs, which Is on
her way to Hanks Island' to search for
Stefansson and his companions, was last

DENIED FRANKING PRIVILEGE.
Miss Wilson wanted a franking privilege
which would permit her to send her gifts
by mail and parcel post without charge
On this matter she sau the President'
Secretary Brian. Admiral Dewey vice
President Marshall, Representative Under
wood and other prominent men Last
week Miss Wilson took another trip to
Wash'ngton and conferred with Post,
master General Burleoon on the franking
privilege. Mr. Burleson said that he was
thoroughly In sympathy with her plan
and would help her In every way, but
that he could not grant her the franking
privilege, as It nould be Impossible for
the Government to diminish its revenue
at the present time In view of the finan
cial Inconveniences -already brought about
by the war. This, however, has by no
means dampened Miss Wilson's enthual
asm or diminished her hopes. She Is In
her wprk to win, and judging by the way
he has gone at It the cannot help but
win.
