MILLION IS ASKED
TO RECLAIM FLATS

Senator GaIlinger has introduced an
amendment to the river and harbor bill
providing that 81 .c00,cU0 shall be sppro-
priated for the Improvement of Ana
costa river and for the reclamation OF
the river flats II the District
This amendment has already gone TO
the Senate Committee on Commerce,
and is now being considered by that
body.
The improvement contemplated in the
amendment is the same In which Prest-
dent Taft has interested himself. and
for which he has urged a liberal appro-
uriation. The House allowed only
$4,000 for this work, but Senator Gal
Iinger believes that a far greater sum
should be expended on making this i'm
provement. and he is actively urging the
amendment before the Senate commit
tee.
No division Of the money is provided
for in the amendment It simply au-
thorizes the engineers 70 expend 100000
on the river and on the drainage and
reclamation Of the river flats. The csti-
mate for this work was considerably
greater than the House thought should
be appropriated. but it is believed that
the conference over the item. should the
Senate committee adopt the Gallinger
idea, will result in a much larger appro-
priation than originally authorized.

women in municipal elections in Cam

napOlis. They are supported 10y the local
delegations and Will pass. Other bills
are contemplated and there seems TO be
10 doubt that wherever the women want
municipal suffrage in Maryland they
can have IL. Sentiment against their
voting at all elections is still dominant.
The meeting this afternoon is in the
hands of the uncOmprOmiSing "Out-and-

Cipal elections merely.

Wives to Be His Guests at Performance Next
Monday Evening.

Senator james Gordon Of Mississippi
today extended an invitation 10 all mis-
colleagues and their wives to be his
guests at tho opening Performance Of
"a Gentleman From Mississippi at the
Columbia Theatcr EeXt Monday evening.
on his return this morning from
philadelphia. where he went yesterday
for the sole purpose Of witnessing a
performance OF the comedy of Wash
inzton society and political life and Of
seeing his prototype behind the foot
lights, Thomas A wise, the heavy
weight comedian, Colonel Gordon bought
a block OF 1S4 seats for the opening
night OF the play here and announced
to the astonished box office man that
he was going TO give his feIlOw-Senators
the treat OF their lives.
Why He Went.
Colonel Gordon was persuaded with
difficulty 10 make the trip to Philadel-
phia, explaining he had never in his
life seen a theatrical performance and
adding that the political situation in
Mississippi was such as 10 hold him
close to the Capitol. But when he dis
covered that "A Gentleman From Mis-
SisSippi' was being presented at the
walnut street lNedNt-Es IN Iue tLUdAtI
City, and recalled that fifty-one years
ago his father had taken him there TO
hear Jenny Lind sing IN concert, and
remembcred also that II was exactly
forty-five years ago yesterday that he
had last visited Philadelphia, on his
way 10 Canada, an escaped prisoner of
war, he determined he~would make the
trip.
The announcement in the PhiladeI-
phia papers that Senator Gordon was 20

mediate recognition by most Of the
theater-Eoers on his entrance into a
stage box. and throughout the action
Of the play his frequent applause and
whOle-sOuled laughter afforded the aI-
dience almost as much amusement as
the efforts of the actors themselves.
After the play Senator Gordon went
behind the scenes, and spent two hours
with big Tom" Wise in his dressing
room. IN the course Of the reminiscent
conversation the real gentleman from
