MEETING OF ELkS IN DETROIT.
OTHER NOTES OF INTEREST.

Washington, D. c., July $50 far
as the national capital is concerned,
items of live news promise to be as
scarce during the ensuing seven days
as the proverbial hens teeth. The ex-
IRENE heat seems to have driven all
officialdom to seek relief at the sea-
shore or in the mountains. The presi-
dent, the cabinete members of con-
gress and heads of the various depart
ments-all have left town, and for the
time being the machinery of govern
ment is allowed to come almost to
standstill.
The political world VIII probably
keep one eye on Beverly and the
other on Oyster Bay, though there is
no reason to suppose that any "big"
news will emanate from either point
during the week. Golf, tennis and
yachting will absorb the attention of
President Taft, while Colonel Roose-
welt is expected to follow the routine

sued since his arrival home from Eu-

the American republics in consular re-
ports and documents, the technical re-
quirements of customs regulations and
also in census and commercial sta
t:stics; questions of sanitary police
and quarantine regulations for the
elimination of preventable diseases;
the bringing about of an understanding
between the American republics COW
ering patents, trade marks and copy
rights; continuance of the treaties on
pecuniary claims after their eXpira-
ton; promoting the interchange of
professors and students among the
universities and academies of the
American republics; united action for
the conservation of natural resources;
supervision of the food supplies in
the different republics and the adop-
ton of some regulation concerning
wireless telegraphy and aerial naviga-
ton.
Throughout Central and South
America the importance of this con-
gress is generally recognized and
great deal of good is expected from
this, the fourth of the conferences.
The first, which was originally sug
gested by President Arthur, was held
in Washington in 1889; the second in
the City of Mexico in 1902 and the
third in Rio de Janeiro in 1906. The
Rio de Janeiro conference was at
tended by Elihu Root, then secretary
of state, and proved far reaching in
the effect of bringing about closer re-
lations and a better understanding be-
tween the United States and the
Latin-American republics. 1t is ex-
pected that the conference, in addition
to the subjects included in the pro- !
gram, will consider many other mat
.ers of international interest, among
them proposition to bring uniform
ty into the standard maps of the va
'ious countries on the American con-
inent.

BARBARA FRiTCHlE NO FICTION
Maryland Editor Says He Knows Whit

Tradition has been vindicated, at
least in part, after years OF denials and
counter denials." said Henry r. Evans
of Frederick, Md to a Baltimore friend
in the lobby of the New Willard.
IF my information is correct, the
Barbara Fritchie story is not the fic-
tion that some historical writer's have
asserted Some new light has been
shed on the old story.
Mr. Evans is the editor Of the Fred.
erick News, and is greatly interested
in the traditions Of the town. He has
published many stories Of the Bar

he has grown somewhat skepucal on
