To the Editor OF The Times: In

list or representatives whom the
women lobbyists claimed had pledged
themselves to vote for the submission
OF the woman suffrage proposition,
but who actually did vote against n.

presence OF press representatives and
members or the legislature the women
lobbyists who gave out this list, and
the representative who introduced the
resolution, had to admit that none OF
them had ever spoken TO me on the
proposition at all; had never met H..
and had no pledge from me In any
form. Mrs. Russell thought someone
might have told herI was believed TO
be favorable. but she was more In

OLD RIGGS HOUSE
BECOMES MEMORY
Famous Hostelry Closes Its
Doors for Ever.

AS a building, the Riggs House obtained
a new lease on life yesterday. but as a
hostelry famous the country over. 1t
passed into history at midnight Wednes-
day. when Col. o. G. Staples. for twenty
years its proprietor. turned a rusty key
in a hitherto unused lock and bade a
faithful following of patrons and en-
ployes good-by
The building was turned over to the
contractors by Il q Riggs Realty Company
yesterday, but little will be done toward
tearing the old structure down until next
Tuesday Then the work will begin in
earnest and the structure will be cleared
away for the handsome theater and office
structure that will stand on the historic
site.
1t was neither a cheerful nor numerous
watch party that left the sinking ship
as the last day OF May ran into the
first OF June. And though but seven
came to the farewell dinner, Col Staples
did not send into the highways and by
ways to fill the seats at the fifty tables.
Three members Of Congress stayed un-
til the last and Joined in the final din
ner. They were Representatives Hull
and Burns, of Tennessee. and Stanley. of
Kentucky. The other diners were Col
Staples, two personal guests. and Charles
II. Lambert, who has rounded out quar-
ter of century as chief clerks of the

POETS OLD CABIN
TO BE PRESERVED
Mrs. RapIey Offers a Site at
Randle Highlands.

Joaquin Miller's old cabin on Meridian
Hill. near the new residence Of former
Ambassador White, is not to be torn
down, as site has been provided for 1t.
NJ. F. O'Donoghue, president of the Cali
fornia State Association, has been work.
ing on the plan Of getting resting place
FOR the historic structure and is now as
sured of its preservation.
An effort was made to have a site pro-
vided by Congress somewhere In the
woods around Rock Creek as the most
desirable setting. Two of the Commis-
sioners of the District, who are on the
board Of control Of parks, were favora BILE
to extending the privilege Of site TO
the association. which has offered to bear
all the expense of removal and protec-
tion. But a tie vote prevented action,
and Senator Works and Representative
Kahn have been asked to intercede.
Should the efforts in this direction fail,
the building will not be torn down and
destroyed, for yesterday Mrs Nellie Rap
ley generously rendered a site in the
woods at Randle Highlands. II no place
ran be found for the old home In the
eegion where the revered old poet Of the
Sierras" built it years ago, It will be
removed to Mrs. Rapley's land.
