FAMOUS OLD INN
TO Be PRESERVED
D. A. R. Chapter to Repair
Historic Building at
Rockville.

Rich in historic lore. the Hungerford
Tavern, at Rockville, Md. is to be pre-
served by the Montgomery county chap
ter of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. The building. which is be-
lieved to have been constructed in 175(
by William Payton, an Englishman, is
now in a bad state of repair. but it is
to be made into an attractive colonial
place.
George Washington often stayed at
the old inn, and the story is told that
on one occasion a party Of British SYM
pathizers had plotted to murder him
there. He emerged from his room just
as his enemies were about TO climb the
stairs. and they stood dumfounded
while he passed calmly by.
Among other men prominent in form
ing the early history of this country
who stayed at the inn were General
BraddoCk, Lafayette. Thomas Jefferson,
and Benjamin Franklin.

AGED CONTRACTOR
HAS SUDDEN DEATH
John McGregor Built Many
Well-KnoWn Local
Structures.

John McGregor, a building contractor,
seventy years old, died suddenly last
night in his home, 212 Maryland avenue
northeast. The direct cause of death was
acute dilation of the heart. Mr.. Nc
Gregor was in the best of health last
night when he left his office, 729 Twelfth
street northwest.
Mr.. McGregor was born in Fortingall,
Perthshire. Scotland, and after being
educated in the schools there learned
the carpenters trade. He was located
in Glasgow. Scotland, until 1869. when
he came to America, settling at Hart
ford, Conr. In 1871, he came to Wash
ington, and was engaged as a carpenter
under Superintendent Smith at the Bo-
tanic Gardens for ten years. Since 1881
he had been in business for himself as
q general contractor and builder.
Many well-known buildings and resi-
dences in this city have been erected by
him, among them being residences OF
Wayne MacVeagh, Mrs Mary D. Heyl
NJ s. Quay, Charles w. Needham,
| Memorial Church. First Baptist Church,
| George Washington School of Diplom-
acy, and several telephone exchanges OF
this city and Baltimore.
He was a member of the Master
Builders Association, a thirty-second
degree Mason, member OF the Roya
Ordef of Scotland, and member of the
, Fourth Presbyterian Church,
Mr.. McGregor is survived by his
widow, and one daughter, Mrs. NJ. P.
Barnes. The death of his youngest
daughter, a, week ago last Tuesday, Il
is thought worried him a great deal
and hastened his death.
Funeral service will be at the family
residence, 212 Maryland avenue north
east, Monday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.
Interment will be in Glenwood Gene

FINE GOWNS MAKE
EN- FAR TOO SWEET
School Head Says Girl Grad
uates Must Wear Cheap
er Dresses.

Being of the opinion that the sweet
girl graduate" adorned in a dress worth
sl25, is far too sweet, the principals of
the various high schools in the Dis
tTict, appointed by Superintendent A.
7. Stuart TO bring a bout a modifica-
ton, will meet next Wednesday in the
Franklin School to determine what is
a sane price to pay for the graduation
gown.
Mr.. Stuart said this morning he had
known of instances where the gradua-
ting dress had cost $I2j. While he said
that such a sum is an unusual amount
to pay. he would not hazard an esti-
mate as TO the average cost of the
gowns worn by the high school grad
yates in Washington. He is satisfied
the dresses have been too elaborate
and have embarrassed the parents as
well as the pupils who could not afford
them.
So many assurances of cooperation
,." a.. n received by MI Stuart with
In the last few days that he is of the
belief the required modification will be
made by the parents without the ne
cessity of resOrting to the plan of
prescribing a uniform dress.
Il would hesitate to take that STEP"
MIR. Stuart said, for 1t would make our
graduates. look too much like pupils
of an orphan asylum or reform school.
Il shall depend a good deal on the
people who really can afford expensive
Gowns to bring about the reform. Even
their children should not be elaborateIy
dressed, for It schools them in ex-
travaganCe.
Until the meeting Wednesday it Will
not be known what plan will be con-
sidered the most feasible. After the
DrinCinals make their report and rec
ommendation, Superintendent Stuart
will submit one to the Board of Educa-
tion. That will be taken up at the
next meeting of that body.

'D.A. R..IS SPLIT OVER
ITS GIFT Of RECORDS
Story Faction Urges Their
Recall From Congress-
ional Library.

Recall of its gift of the famous Chalk
ley genealogical records to the Congress
sional Library by the Daughters OF the
American Revolution is a question
promising serious quarrel at the COM
Ing session Of the annual congress.
A congressional inquiry to probe the
presentation OF the valuable records,
containing the only authentic history OF
many Virginia families during colonial
days. is being agitated by members Of
the Story faction of the d. A. r.
The administration party is blamed
for donating the ChalkIey archives to
the Congressional Library without OBJ
serving regulations of the order. 1t is
said the board OF management ordered
the gift on advice of a committee, of
which the chairman was a member Of
the board.
Of Great Genealogical Value.
OF unusual genealogical value, the
Chakley records were bought in 1905 by
the D. A. r. from Judge Lyman Chalk
ley, of Augusta county. Va. for $500.
This price is far below their actual va:-
ue, 1t is reported. Judge ChaIkley re-
leasing the records. believing they would
be published by the d. A r. He was
unable financially to cause their publi-
cation.
For some reason the congress has
failed to publish the records, recently
donating them to the Congressional Ii
brary. Members of the Story faction
now declare they are without assurance
that publication is intended by the IL
brary officials.
Members OF the D. A. r. say the
Chalkley records. saved from the torcn
of the Union army during the civil war.
are priceless. being the only informa-
ton with complete records of Virginia
families extant, and upon which the ex-
istence Of many family trees depends
Their testimony is the proof for admis-
sion or rejection of thousands of Amer
lean women into the d. A r.
Saved From the Burning.
Judge Chalkley saved the records
when county clerk OF Augusta county
Union soldiers raiding the country In
tended to burn the books, but Judge
Chalkley rescued them by pleading with
brother Mason in charge Of the SOL
diers. Judge Chalkley has since copied
the old, tattered books. soiled now and
almost illegible from oil, smoke. and
fire of ffty years ago.
The Congressional Library Is expected
to refuse the records until the circum-
stances surrounding their presentation
are aired before the d. A. r. congress.
