NEW YORK.-Thornton jenkins
~ Hams, novelist, short-story writer,
seaman and defendant in the Hains
murder trials, has disappeared. Un-
der some other name he is making his
living as sailor once more, but no
one knows what ship he is aboard or
whittier he is bound. The last seen
OF him was In Washington. He was
then heading for some distant port to
get aboard a ship and leave his coun.
try forever.
Hains left his little daughter Mol
lie with his parents and signed doc

persona non grata with the publishers.
One magazine, at least, that accepted
his stories and paid for them in ad-
vance of publication, failed to print
them. Men who were once eager to
get stories from him and be received
by him as his friend, avoided him
after his trial at Flushing.

TT LTRA-SMART women in the con-
~ gressional set In Washington have
virtually withdrawn their support
from the Congressional club, and the
organization faces either extinction or
humdrum monotony, which nobody
dared to predict when the club was
formed just before the close of the
last session of congress.
Trouble has been brewing in the
club these many months, but it was
formally brought before the body only
at the last meeting, just before many
of the officers were about to leave the
city for the summer. 1t came to a
crisis when certain members failed to
pay their annual dues. AS the club has
leased fashionable home in K street
and the rent man and the grocer have
to be dealt with before long, dues are
a matter of vital Importance.
Behind this practical phase of the
situation lies another, which is casting

New York, as distinguished from Man
haitian, is not the most densely pop
ulated city in the country. That title
belongs to Baltimore, with 20 per
acre, while greater New York with 20
per acre, comes after Milwaukee, with %
How rapidly the congestion in Man
haitian may be expected to increase
is indicated by the values of
it's real estate. In this respect two
new records were set last week. The
first established new high record for
Fifth avenue property, a lot having
been sold at price amounting to $34,-
900 front foot, or $27O square foot,
a value considerably larger than that
represented by an equal area covered
with $50 bills.
Only 40 years ago this same prop
erty sold for one-twentieth of this price.
The second record came as the result
of the leasing of piece of uptown
property for 149 years. From these
two factors it is evident that the de-
sire to snap up property for long
terms, together with its rapidly in
creasing value, will soon reduce the
average amount of ground per inhab-
itant to less than the space necessary
for standing room.

C. Congressional Club Losing Members

gloom into the hearts of the would
be's" who have lately come to Wash
ington to preside over congressional
homes and had been led to believe
that membership in the Congression-
al club would fling open to them the
doors of every smart household in
Washington.
1t is a matter of the clubs history
that the ultra-smart women in the con-
gressional set joined the club in the
beginning because they were persist
emily urged to do so in order that
their names might give the organi-
1ation something of the social stand
ing it needed. These women freely
paid the SO entrance fees, with mani
testify no intention of hobnobbing with
the women who came from many
rural districts throughout the coun-
try and jumped at the chance to be-
long to the club.
That the really smart women in the
congressional set at Washington do
not care a rap for the Congressional
club or it's success has been made
plain. True, they have been induced
on rare occasions to visit the club
rooms, but only when some particular.
ly important affair has been given
as, for instance, a tea in honor of
the president and Mrs. Taft, shortly
before Mr.. Taft was inaugurated.

e ENATORS ALDR1CH and La Fol-
y lette do the glaring for the senate.
while the tariff fight is on. The Rhode
Island senator has cold. glittering
glare, as becomes man who believes
in money and lots of it. The Wiscon-
sin senator has fussy, fighting glare.
1t is both glare and gloat, and if
the senate can stand for the phrase,
it 'gets Aldrich's goat" The senate
leader begins to get nervous just the
moment the Wisconsin glare is turned
on him. He tries to glare in return,
but soon leaves for the senate cloak
room where he sputters, instead. 1t
is not dignif1ed to sputter in the senate
chamber. No one who will tell knows
what else he does in the cloakroom.
When La Toilette sits still Aldrich
can stand him and glare in return.
These two men are not only on op-
posite sides of the big question, but
they are opposite in temperament,
character, training, and every other
respect.
Senator Aldrich punched a few
street railroads in his native state,
sold and resold them until he can
afford to be United States senator
as long as he lives. Senator La Fol-
