D. A. R. SQOADDLE
WAXING WARM
Administrator Forces Did Not Mus
ter Vote to Give Valuable Rec
ords to Library of Congress.

ords TO Library of Congress.
Washington, April 20.-The Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution voted
overwhelmingly to keep the Chalkley
manuscript containing the record of
old Augusta county.
Incidentally a decided victory for
the insurgents supporting Mrs. Will
liam G. Story, OF New York. for presi-
dent general, was registered when the
vote was taken.
The national board dominated by
the present ID. A. r. administration
forces had voted at its last meeting
to give the manuscript to the library
of congress, much against the advice
of Mrs. Short Adams Willis, the IL
brarian general, who commended that
those valuable records should be re-
tanned by the society and published
by it.
The discussion of the fate of the
Chalkley records came Immediately af-
ter the presentation of the ralort Of
the publication committee, made by
Mrs. Egbert r. Jones, who recon-
mended that the congress agree to the
disposal of the Chalkley manuscript
as already decided upon by the ma
tional board Mrs. Jones declared that
the society could not afford to publish
the records, that several publishers
had been appealed to and all had re-
fused to take the responsibility.
Then Mrs. Willis entered the arena.
She produced letter after letter from
recognized authorities on gsnealogy to
prove that the Chalkley records were
of great value and should be retained
by the society.
Shall we give up records which will
enable hundreds of thousands of wo-
men to prove their eligibility to mem.
bership in the ID. A. R.?" demanded
Mrs. Willis. Il wish to see the So
ciety reap the benefit of publishing
this record. Hundreds of persons
would gladly buy it. If 1t is given to
the library of congress it is lost to us
forever. And the library of congress
has given no assurance that it will
publish the records"
One of the Story party insisted that
there was a professional genealogist
in the ranks of the ID. A. R., who was
particularly anxious to have the manu-
script presented to the library of con-
gress so that she could use the rec
ords to sell genealogies to women de-
string to become members of the so
cfety.
When the vote finally came not
single Daughter voted In favor of the
proposition submitted by Mrs. Jones.
Mrs. Scott, the president general, who
is up for reelection and is being op-
posed by Mrs. Story, seemed Devil
dered at the vote and asked twice in
vain for the nays.
The Daughters were received at the
White House by President and Mrs.
Taft and cordially welcomed.
