Action of Washington Citizens.

The committee, headed by Mr.. Macfar-
land inaugurated the movement last year
to obtain from Congress a change in the
date of the Inauguration of the President.
The committee was the immediate out
growth of action taken by the committee
of Washington citizens in charge of the
second Inauguration Of the late President
Mckinley. This committee pointed out
strongly the need for a change in the date
from March until the latter part of April
and asked the Commissioners to organize
a national committee to take the matter up
with Congress. The Commissioners asked
the governors of the various states and ter
ritories and island possessions to serve on
the committee and practically all accepted.
In a letter addressed to the judiciary COM
mittee of the House Chairman Mcfarland
has explained the object of the committee
and stated its personnel. The committee is
now very anxious that the House judiciary
committee should take some action at an
early date in order that the matter may be
brought before the House. In his letter to
the judiciary committee Chairman Macfar-
land said:
