D. A. R. Congress.

The twentieth Continental Congress Of
the Daughters of the American Revolution
convened in Memorial Continental Hall
Washington, D, c., on Monday, April IL
and adjourned late in the day on Satur-
day, April 22. The Congress was formally
opened by Mrs. Matthew 7. Scott, the
president general, and after an invocation
by Ri. Rev. Alfred Harding. Bishop Of
Washington, President Taft welcomed the
Congress to Washington.
Political chickering's marked the opening
OF the Congress, with the supporters of Mrs.
Matthew 7. Scott and Mrs. VIM. C. Story
working strenuously among the 1886 dele
gates for their respective candidates for
the president eeneralship. Mrs. Scott was
seeking reelection to the presidency. while
Mrs. Story who for years had led an in
surgent element in the organization. was
determined to secure the Office for herself.
The election for president general and
other national officers was held on Thurs
day, April 20, and Friday morning, long
before 10 O'Clock, the lobbies of Continent
tai Hall were filed with groups of eager
and excited women who had arrived upon
the spot early in the hope of hearing the
election returns before the doors were
opened. A groan went up from the entire
assemblage when word was passed around
that the tellers had made clerical error
in the tallying of the counts and that it
would be an indefinite length of time be-
fore it was known whether Mrs. Scott or
Mrs. Story had won.
On Friday night, after twenty-four hours
of anxious waiting, Mrs. G. T. Guernsey, of
Kansas, chairman of the tellers. announced
the election of Mrs. Scott as president
general. Cheer upon cheer greeted the an
nouncement and hundreds of women stood
and waved their handkerchiefs The en-
tire Scott ticket was swept in along with
Mrs. Scott.
An amendment, which failed of passage
at the present congress. was introduced by
the Janet Montgomery Chapter, of this
town, which sought to invest in the chap
tiers the right not only to hold State
congress but the right of each chapter to
be represented at such conference. Accord
ing to the motion, the State conference
should have power to make recommended
tons to the National Congress and the
National Board of Management. The meas
ure precipitated stormy scene, in which
questions of unconstitutionaity and breach
of parliamentary discipline were hOpelessly
tangled,
Mrs Scott, in answer to a motion to give
the resolution to the National Board of
Management for consideration as to its
constitutionality, asked the congress to
come 10 order and sit upon this corpse. "
She was beset with scores of questions
from all parts of the house and clamors for
recognition. The chair maintained her
right to express her opinion. which she
summed up in the statement that she had
seen many scrambes to get into the band
wagon, but never before saw such rush
to get into the hearse.'
After attacks upon the measure in re-
gard to its legality the matter was finally
laid on the table and the Daughters of the
American Revolution will await the report
of the national board at the twenty-first
Continental Congress.

Poole Collapses In Court.

Peyton Poole, formerly of this county.
collapsed during his trial Wednesday last
at Towson, Baltimore county, CHARGED with
killing his niece, VOLTA Poole, and court
was adjourned. The spectators were thrown
into much excitement when the prisoner,
after waking from a stupor, cried out pite-
ously that the murdered girl was above
him and that he could not make her hear
him. The physicians who attended him
say that he had hysterical attack
Poole's sister, Mrs. H. A. Snyder, of Ger
mantown. had been testifyine concerning
Poole's mental condition after visiting his
niece. and Poole had been listening in
tently. He had been nervous all morning,
and when Mrs. Snyder took the stand he
was CHASTITY white, and his hands and eye
lids were twitchng nervously.
AS the witness concluded and adjourn
ment was announced Poole staggered from
the prisoners box and reeled across the
courtroom toward his cell Before he could
reach the door, however, he fell backward
into the arms of one of the court attendants
and was hurried into the cell. The hys-
terical screams from his sister, who kept
crying, "Peyton will die knew he could
not stand the strain" mingled with the
half articulate groans of the prisoner.
When he reached the cell Poole braced
himself against the wall for a moment.
His face was deathly white Mutterine
something that no one understood he made
an Intellectual attempt to hold himself erect
and then sank in a heap upon the floor.
A moment later DR.. George L, Wilkins, the
Baltimore jail physician, had stretched
him out upon the bench, loOsened his COL
lar, and administered restoratives.
In his opening statement for Poole, At
torney VIM. Lawrence declared that the girl
had promised to marry Poole; that she had
persuaded him to leave Montgomery coun-
ty, sell his property there. and come to
and spend his money for dresses
and presents for her Once, he declared,
the couple had gone to Frederick to wed,
but when they reached there the girl
changed her mind
Mr.. Lawrence said that the testimony
would show that Poole had looked forward
to the wedding for a long time, and when
he had spent all his money and realized
that Miss Poole never intended to marry
him he became insane and his mind was
a blank when he shot her.

Lewis For House Reforms.

Congressman David j. Lewis. of the Sixth
Maryland District, has introduced in the
House resolution which is the result of a
thorough and exhaustive study made by
him Of the methods and procedure in
foreign legislative bodies and parliaments.
Mr.. Lewis believes that in many respects
the legislative bodies abroad. correspond
ing to the American House of Representa-
tives, have an advantage in their methods
of doing business and organization. The
cumbersome processes of the House in
many countries abroad are avoided by
simple and easy means and the delibera-
tive character of their legislative bodies is
enhanced
MIR. Lewis, in his resolution, does not at
tempt to indicate the reforms in the House
organization which he believes could be
advantageOusly made. but simply asks that
the present House Committee on Rules in
vestieate the methods of organization and
legislative procedure abroad and report to
the House recommendations, If found fea-
sible, designed to insure to each member a
wider participation in a consultative way
in House legislation in the formative stage
and to assure the expeditions consideration
by the House membership of public bills
and resolutions in relation to the general
welfare.
Mr.. Lewis resolution is not based merely
on his few weeks of actual service in the
House, but he became interested in this
subject of effective organization right after
his election last November and has gath
cred large amount of valuable data and
information on the question.
He believes that a comparison of the
methods here and those abroad will con-
vince any man who takes time and trou-
BILE to 60 thoroughly into it that great
improvement can be made in the House
If an opportunity is presented he ex-
poets to make speech on his resolution.
pointing out some of the best features of
the legislative bodies abroad. He does not
expect to revolutionize the present House,
but does believe in asking the Committee
on Rules to look into the matter and make
recommendations that he is asking an en-
tirely practical and feasible thing.

Wit And wisdom.

It's easier for a man to get out Of work
than out Of trouble.
Giving advice is an easy way to borrow
trouble.
Flowers seem TO cost an awful lot more
after a man gets through being engaged
to a girl by marrying her.
When bad luck begins to pour down on
a man he seldom has enough ambition
left to raise an umbrella.
Just the same. the clingine kind Of wo-
man seems to be the very one that picks
a man up and carries him when he falls
down.
