LEADERS FLOCK
To WASHINGTON
Democrats Are lubilant In
Returning to Power in
the Houss.
BRYAN AVOIDS HARMON
kebraskan will Play an I'M
portant Part in Councils
of the Majority,
BRYAN AVOIDS HARMON

Washington, April 3.-From east and
west and north and south the Demo
cratic clans are gathering. They are
coming to town jubilant and optimistic
to strike hands with their brethren in
the senate and house and to be on
deck at the convening OF the special
session of the SixtNsecond congress,
the first Democratic congress in six
teen long, lean and weary years.
William J. Bryan is here and will re-
main a week. So is JUdson Harmon
of Ohio. Governor Dix Is expected
down from New York. Woodrow VIII
sou may run ever from the Jersey
capital, and in addition to the celebri-
ties there are dozens of other Demo
Gratis of promise who are flocking to
Washington.
Even William J. Bryan, who holds
the record for having consumed more
dollar dinners than any other living
Democrat, unbent and broke bread
with friends at the New Willard
Across Peacock alley, in the same ho-
tel, at the same time Judson Harmon
of Ohio was dining with friends. Ger.
tain mischievous p sons corralled Gov
ernor Harmon in the lobby after he
had finished his repast and endeavored
to lure Mr.. Bryan that way. But Mr.
BRYAN was busy. He had an engage
ment or something, and 1t seemed tc
though the two distinguished Demo
Gratis were on the same floor of the
same hotel pretty much all the time
they did not meet.
Governor Harmon was the guest Of
Senator Gilbert Hitchcock of Nebras
ka, who cOincidentally was extremely
close to the erstwhile peerless leader
before they split on the prohibition
question in their state. Representa-
tive John J. Fitzgerald Of New York
the new appropriations committee
chairman, and Representative Cox ant
Antisberry of Ohio were Mr. Hitch
COCKS other guests.
"The Democrats of the house got 6
flying start by their splendid work II
caucus" said Mr.. Bryan. "The mos
fortunate thing about the Legislative
program decided upon is, in my opin
ion, the fact that every section of tn,
program is q matter of settled Demo
cratic policy and a cardinal principle
eR democratic doctrine"
Then Mr.. Bryan referred in detail t
the direct election of senator's, the
publicity OF campaign contributions
The retrenchment of government ex
penditures. the reformation of meth
DDS of administration In the govern
ment departments, the admission o.
the territories Of Arizona and New
Mexico and the matter of Canadian
reciprocity.
Asked about the admission Of Ari
Zona as state with its recall provi
sion IN the constitution, Mr.. Bryan
said:
81 believe congress should admit
both Arizona and New Mexico imme
diately. A state has q right to frame
its constitution as 1t sees fit"
All the time that Mr.. Bryan was
talking he wore a broad and genia
smile and was evidently In high goot
humor over the antisession work o.
his party In congress.
Governor Harmon, while he would
not submit TO an extended interview
IN the caucue, gave high praise to the
Democrats for the stand they hat
taken with reference TO patronage.

PLANS FOR GOLFERS AT ROE.bUCK CLUB Work on Construction of First Unit Will Begin
 This Week

The building committee of the Roe-
 buck Springs Country club has ap-
 proved the plans for the golfers quar-
 ters and work on the structure will
 begin this week.
 This is the first unit of the buildings
 to be constructed on the grounds and
 is located 300 feet from the mann club
 building, on the shore of the great
 swimming pool, which is really a lake
 The plans were drawn by William c.
 Weston, the architect, who has made
 the building conform to the contour of the pool in accordance with the plan of the grounds designed by George H. Miller, the landscape architect of Bos- ton.
 The structure consists of central building, with two long wings bent
 inward, and the appearance of the front l elevation is singularly graceful and pleasing. In the central building are
 the lounging room, office, shower
 rooms, etc. There are 200 locker
 rooms in the wings. In addition to the
 lockers, the left wing contains shower
 room, dressing room, store room and towel closet and in the right wing. supplementing the lockers. are club and
 work shop, caddie room, drying room, boiler room and coal room.
 On the water front is a wide veranda flanked by two terraces, the Veranda | permitting an easy plunge into the | cool water of the pool, which has a maximum depth of six and half feet. Those who have seen the plans of 1 the building agree that 1t is admirably arranged No detail that will make | for the convenience and comfort of | golfers having been omitted The golf links of the club are as suming shape rapidly, as a force of 60 men is now on the work. These links are designed for use by professionals as well as amateurs, a fact which is very gratifying to Birmingham's con- tingent of golfers.

 The little girl lost quite quantity of blood as the result of the accident and is very weak scarcely able to move, and for time was so weak that she was not able to moan or speak. Following the loss of blood a high fever resulted. Fri day the temperature ran as high as 1O4, but during the day yesterday it abated to 102 degrees The physicians stated last night that they were undecided as to whether the child would recover or not. They state that her condition during the night will determine the outcome.

 From the indications a monster meet ing will be held, as he has selected August 3 as the date of his address, and has invited Leon McCord, state railroad commissioner, and B. c. Farm CT to speak from the same platform with him. These two gentlemen have a state wide reputation and are able and convincing speakers.
 The petition to Colonel Bowman is headed as follows:
 Birmingham, Ala. July 2s, 1911. "Col. P. G. Bowman, Birmingham, Ala.
 Dear Sir-We. the undersigned hereby respectfully request and peti- ton you to address us on the subject of local option at any date in the near future agreeable to yourself We are most respectfully (Signed by $50 cit izens of the county)"

Moulthrop and Others "Gentlemen-I am in receipt of yours of the 2Sth inst, and in reply beg tc say it will give me pleasure to address the citizens of Jefferson county or Thursday evening, August 3, at o'clock, at the. Bijou theatre on the subject of local option. I have taker the liberty of inviting Hon. B. G Farmer. Hon NJ w. Howard and Hon Leon McCord to be present and addres: you on this occasion.
