MRS. VROOMAN DIES
AT FATHERS HONE
Death Comes After an Ill
ness Of Several
Weeks.

Mrs. Frank Burlington Vrooman,
wife of a well-known scientist and
daughter of Gen. John C. Black, of the
Civil Service Commission, died this
morning at the home of her father, 1874
Connecticut avenue.
Mrs. Vrooman had been Ill for several
weeks, and for some time it had been
feared she would not recover.
Funeral services will be held tomor-
row morning at 10 O'Clock, at the resi-
dence of General Black. The Rt. Rev.
Bishop Harding, Of the Episcopal dio-
cese of Washington, will officlate. I'm
mediately following the ceremony the
body will be taken to Mrs. Vrooman's S
old home, in Danville, ILL.,, for inter
ment. 1t is probable that General Black
will accompany the body to the West.
Mrs. Vrooman was born August Is,
1870. She received her early education
in the United States, but later finished
in noted schools in Paris and Italy after
completing a course at Vassar, in this
country. Sne was a fluent linguist, and
was considered one of the most popular
and gifted hostesses in Washington and
in other cities where she has resided.
Mrs. Vrooman was a member of the
Congressional Club, the Colonial Danes
and the Young Fortnightly Club, Of Chi
cago. She was married seventeen years
ago, the wedding being one of the most
brilliant social functions of the season.
The ceremony took place at st. Johns
Episcopal Church.
One child survives Mrs. Vrooman-a
nine-y -year-old son, who is now In Canon
City, Colo. with a sister, Mrs. Stephen
Abbott wife of LieutenantN Abbott, of
the United States Army.

hind with his correspondence and want
ed this opportunity to catch up.
There were a few minor conferences
ut the Executive offices today. but they
had little or nothing to do with the
Mexican troubles or with politics gen.
ences for the most part.
Only Maneuvers Intended.
From what can be gathered at the
White House the President is resting
upon the statement, given out since he
returned, to the effect that no hostile
movement of troops was contemplated,
and that only maneuVers, the original
excuse for assembling the Army Corps
was being engaged in.
The resident seemed satisfied with his
conferences yesterday with Secretary
Dickinson, General Wood, and Ambas-
sador de la Barra. He did not summon
Uny of the War Department officials to
the White House this morning. They
remained in their offices working on the
details Of the maneuvers.
1t kas given Outear ly this afternoon
that the Cabinet would meet tomorrow
instead of today. Secretaries Mac
Veagh and Meyer and Attorney General
WiCkersham are expected to return to
Washington this afternoon or tonight,
and If so, the Cabinet will get together
tomorrow.
To Talk Over Message.
1t is practically certain that both the
Mexican troubles and the message will
be taken up. If his present plan Is car
ried into effect, the President will rec
ommend to Congress the enactment of
