Early in the day there were a number of Sem
ators who called to see the President. and thew
were fortunate in that they were able to reach
the ear OF the chief executive at oace. They
were the envied Of all the less fortunate NOR
tails who were compelled to cool their heels in
the ante rooms Of state and who were fortunate
it, after waiting all the forenoon, they were able
to get as far as Private Secretary Thurber's
room.

Among the earliest callers at the White House
this morning were Rev. Dr. Parson and Rev.
DR.. Domer. the two ministers who have

his private room urging upon him the pro-

the condemned man.

SENATOR GEORGES HAT.
Senator George of Mississippi had a few sug-
gestions to make to the President and when he
came to leave he found that some one else had
gone before MIN and with him had gone the
Senator's big black SLOUGH hat. Search was in
vain. 1t could not be found high or low. Mr.
Loetfier, who sits at the door OF the Presidents
room and knows all the statesmen Of
the generation and few of the po!-
ltlcians, was visibly distressed at
the idea of Senator beng COM
PEELED to face the cold wind of March without
a covering for his head. He insisted on Skin
misiing around to find q hat of the proper
dimensions. but Or. George wouldn't have it
that way. He pulled his big overcoat up as far
as possible about his ears and left the White
House in hurry. heading for the nearest hat
store. This was the second loss Of the sort
that has occurred at the White House this week.
THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS CALL.
few minutes before l O'Clock Commission

their first visit of the sort and was made by APP

pleasant chat with him.
1t is said that 1. B. Mcdonald of Indiana is
