ADDRESSES AND MUSIC.
Entertainment Under the Auspices of
the Mississippi Society.

The Mississippi Society of Washington
last night entertained it's members and in
vited guests in the reception rooms of the
Chenoweth School fer Young Ladies, 1927
New Hampshire avenue. 1t was conceded
that the rendition of the program could
not have been attended by greater success
By $50. o clock nearly 200 people, a great
many of whom are prominent in both social
and political life in Washington, had as
sembled to enjoy the festivities.
The exercises were presided over by Pres
ident Charlton M. Clark, who, after few
remarks concerning the organization, its
objects and purposes, announced that the
orator of the evening, Representative John
Sharp Williams, by reason of sudden ILL
ness, was unable to be present Mr.. Clark
thereupon introduced Representative James
L. Lloyd of Missouri, whom he had asked
to deliver an address in his stead.
BY way OF introduction Mr.. Lloyd created
considerable laughter by relating the story
OF the neutral attitude of the man from
Missouri" He said he would not enter into
discussion of the so-calIed issues between
north and south. He preferred to believe
that greater tie of unity exists today be-
tween the two sections than at any other
period since that unfortunate struggle was
ended. He believed each of the two
tons is capable of solving its own problems
and that the south will solve hers in time.
He advanced the idea that no southerner
should revive the dying embers of sectional
animosity or rekindle the smothered fires
which have been already extinguished.
In conclusion the speaker paid tribute
to the south and her heroes and attested
her devotion and loyalty to the national
emblem.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Lloyd's address
President Clark announced musical pro-
gram which consisted of numbers by Prof.
Ernest Lent, 'celloist; Mrs. Lent, pianist;
Lillian Chenoweth, contralto: Lucille
Thorpe, pianist: Annie and Eliza Sloan,
violin and piano, and Miss Levers, So
prano
The numbers were all well rendered. and
were received with great applause. At the
conclusion of the program the guests re-
paired to the dining tables, where refresh
ments were served
For the success scored by the celebration
last evening much credit is due the officers
at its head-C. NJ. Clark. president: ]. Nc

treasurer.

teller of the commerce committee OF the
Georgetown Citizens Association yesterday
dispatched a letter. to President Murray of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
in regard to the freight facilities of the
western section of the District. The COM
munication calls attention to the corre-
spondence with former President Loree.
and the fact that he promised definite
action that would give the business inter-
ests of Georgetown the desired facilities.
The officials of the association urge the
immediate use by the railroad of the tracks
on Water street. and state that the mer-
chants and residents feel that the tracks
are detrimental to the business interests of
the west end, as well as damage to the
property on the street on which they are
laid. The letter further recites that unless
some satisfactory arrangement is made for
their use the association will be obliged to
take such action at this Congress as viii
force the company to abandon its rights
and remove the tracks

is not meant as a threat, but that the ASSOC

cept an amendment to that OF the Distrlct

Mr.. Wise said the author of the bill now

ground that the matter had been under
consideration for several years, and the

motion would be unfair to Mr.. Palmer. Inc
motion to recommit was lost.

Crop Statistics.

The principal matter of interest which
came up during the afternoon session yes
terday was the report submitted by c. b.
Murray chairman of the committee on crop
statistics. which discussed the standing
recommendation that government crop re-
ports be collected either by the census bu-
reau or the Department of Agriculture
alone. The opinion seemed to prevail that
the bureau of statistics of the Agricultural
Department Is the better prepared to do the
work. The efficiency of the reports was dis
cussed in the report. which found that the
crop reports are deserving of favorable rec
ognition and acceptance, as representing all
faces obtainable. Criticism, 1t was stated,
had not always been 'indulgent."

night, about $50, six men armed with
Winchesters made a raid on Miles

sheep herder was alone, the camp
tender having come to town for sup.
plies.
The herder was started by a number
OF shots firel near camp. He seized
his rife and ran out of the tents, when
he saw six men a short distance away
firing into the band Of 23OO sheen as
they lay scattered on the mountain
side. The herder got behind some
large trees and opened fire on the
raiders, who, in turn, began to fire at
him.
The herder fired II shots-aIl he

he had some ammunition cashed. but

DOUBLE
HEADER
Democratic Nominees Will
Probably Be Notified

Bsopus, July 16.-The prospects of
a double ratification at Rosemont
frightened this morning, when a let.
ter was received from ex-senator
Davis, accepting the invitation to visit
Judge Parker, but fixing no date. In
asmuch as the presidential nominee
has suggested the advisability of a
double event, but there is opposition
from the West Virginia Democrats.
The opinion prevails that Parker's
resignation as chief justice of the
court OF appeals should be rendered
simultaneously with the issuance of
his letter of acceptance, about August
9th. There were no visitors at Rose
mont this morning. The candidate
took his usual morning plunge in the
Hudson, attended to his correspond
ence, and then went horseback riding
with his daughter, Mrs. Hall.
