HITCHCOCK TO SUCCEED MOSES
SELECTED FOR HEAD OF THE
FAIRGROUNDS ASSOCIATION.
Failure of Congress to Appropriate
for Support Compels Appeal
for $1,000.

At recent meeting Of the board of di-
rectors of the Washington Fairgrounds
Association the executive committee was
directed to make the necessary arrange
ments to open the Fairgrounds at the reg
ular time, Notwithstanding Congress
failed to make any appropriation for
their support. In consequence of the alb
sence of an appropriation the funds of the
association are very low. Seven thousand
dollars is the amount needed to keep the
Fairgrounds going, and an appeal for con-
tributions has been sent out in the hope
that that amount can be raised
1t is highly probable that Postmaster
General Frank III. Hitchcock will be made
president of the association. Arthur c.
Moses, who is now president, expects to
resign, and if he does, Mr.. Hitchcock will
most likely succeed him at once. The
matter has been brought to the atten-
ton of President Taft and Mr.. Hitch
cock, both of whom have been Informed
that an official recognition of the play
grounds association would help it ma
terially, and while no formal or definite
action has been taken yet the election OF
Mr.. Hitchcock as its president Is practi-
cally assured and will probably be form
ally announced in a few days.

ever about the city hall that great re-
lance is to be placed by the defense in a
story of her relations with her deceased

Rumor has 1t that the defense will
claim that Willard was rendered insane
by brooding over the refusal of Beck to
allow the child to remain at his home
after the marriage, as he claims Beck
promised to do. When on the morning
of the homicide Beck refused even to tel
where the child was being kept it is
