SAYS DISTRICT SOON
WILL HAVE SUFFRAGE
Representative Farr Also Tells
Sons of Veterans Women
Will Vote Here.

Suffrage for both women and men in
the District Of Columbia was predicted
by Representative Farr Of Pennsylvania
in an address last night in G. A. r.
Hall, at the elaborate exercises In cele-
bration Of the twenty-fifth anniversary
of Lincoln Camp, Sons Of Veterans.
He predicted that the "abnormar' con-
dition, as regards suffrage, in the Dis
trict would soon be done away with. and
he added that when the people of the
District are given q voice in their own
government the women will do some of
the governing.
II know one Of the most powerful
arguments against women's suffrage"
he continued, els that each woman will
then have two votes. know they have
a power in government today. But If
good would result. Every home would
be a school Of politics, and therein would
be taught lessons Of good citizenship"
Discusses Pension Bills.
In the course Of his remarks Repre-
sentative Farr touched on the prospects
for general pension legislation that will
increase the government allowance to
the men who wore the blue in the years
between 1861 and 1865.
II hope we are going to get general
pension bill,' he said. I'VE can't do
too much for the men who wore the
blue, because they did SO much for us.
We begin to realize how much they did
for us when we think what would hap
pen if this were a divided country-if
the north and the south were not
united
Representative Tilson Of Connecticut,
who was the first speaker, praised the
observation-disclosures of the members OF the
g. A. r. He was introduced as the
son Of Confederate to the members
of the organization Of sons Of Union
veterans. Instead Of his birthright be-
ing a handicap in the northern state of
Connecticut. he said, he had found it
a real help. especially because OF the
generosity and broad-minded feeling OF
the Union veterans in the state.
Not only is the Sons of Veterans Or
ganization to take the place Of the 6. A.
R In carrying on its work Of patriotism
and respect Of history. Mr.. Tilson added,
but the younger organization has work
Of its own to do. First, he said, 1t should
cultivate a spirit Of fairness. When q
man that is trying to serve his country
to the best of his ability Is attacked, the
Sons of Veterans, he said. should insist
on giving that public man a fair and
square hearing, with consideration for
both sides. Secondly, Mr.. Tilson said,
the society should strive to wipe out sec
uonal feeling.

of activity in southern California. Work
has been going on at the Curtis., camp at
San Diego all winter, and q large num-
Der of pupils are being instructed in the
aeroplane and the hydro-aeroplane,
which Is considered rather the safer for
novice flying. Experimental work Is
being conducted, too, for the army and
navy.
Reports from Monaco say the accident
to Hugh Robinson on the Mediterranean,
February 10, was not SO serious as the
cable reports made it appear. Robinson
and there was a fleet Of motor boats
watching the performance. The weather
was not particularly favorable for a
flight, but he had been flying rather
than disappoint the crowd. When he
came to make landing q number of
motor boats rushed to the spot, and he
was forced to dive directly into the
water to prevent hitting some Of he
small craft. Robinson was thrown out,
but was not hart. and the machine was
picked up badly smashed.
While Robinson has been demonstrat-
ing the hydro-aeroplane abroad. Walter
Brookins. the former Wright aviator, has
been giving exhibitions and passenger
carrying rides in this country. He has
been for the last month at Palm Beach,
Fla, and has been making daily flights
over Lake Worth. He has had Robert
Collier, president Of the Aero Club of
it missionary work, popularizing the
aeroplane by giving the people who can
afford to take 1t UP a chance to ride
and find out what are the possibilities of
the vehicle for sport and for cross-coun-
try travel.

PREPARING
FOR SPRING SEASON
Great Interest Also Being
Shown in Coming Ex-
hibiti0n in New York.

Aviation all over the country, which
has been largely confined to shop ex-
periments through the winter. is awak-
ening. in prospect of the spring flying
season. Much is expected of the in
ternational exhibition. to be held in
the Grand Central Palace. in New York.
in May. Many of the American manu-
facturers have taken space. and are pre-
pairing exhibits of aeroplanes and &C.
cessories, but there is a serious ques-
ton whether the international feature
Of the show will be what was expected
Of it.
The foreign exhibitors are wary Of
the threat that still hangs over the
business. in the shape Of the Wright
suits. Manufacturers abroad have been
going ahead with the development Of
the aeroplane much as though the
Wright claim to monopoly Of ailerons
and the flexing wing did not exist. but
they are afraid to come to this coun-
try for an exhibition, in view Of pos
sible Injunction suits and seizures. The
Wrights. as usual. have issued no formal
statement. but the general understand
ing is that they will regard the exhi-
bition Of machines at the New York
show as an infringement Of their patent
claims, just as they would exhibition
flights.

Justice Gerard summoned before him
Yesterday Robertson Honey. counsel for
Mrs. Ethel J. Conkling. in her suit for
separation from Alfred j. Conkling,

OF the late Roscoe Conhling. The court
wanted the explanation for letter which

d. Steuer. Justice Gerard said no repu-
table lawyer would have written such
letter and added that the matter should
be called TO the attention Of the Bar AS
ISOLATION. The letter said in part
1T seems TO me that the very matter
which she seeks 20 avoid, upon the case
going 10 referee, would take place and
l would he obliged to disclose the delicate
nature OF the case which I have learned
from conversation with the plaintiff. Also
Il might result that she would be subject
to newspaper comment

what the lawyer meant when he said he
had 10 "famlllarlze himself with the gen
eral social standing Of Mrs. ConklinS
Mr. Honey opposed the motion TO substt-
tute Mr.. Steuer until his client had paid
$500 which. he said. was still due for
services. he having received $3.50 on ac-
count from Mrs. Conkling's mother
widow Of Eastman Johnson, the portrait
painter
Mr.. Honey testified yesterday that he
was formerly an army officer, and han
been an Assistant District Attorney. He
has been practising law fourteen years.
He said his greatest interest had been
In the Conkling children. and therefore he
wanted 10 prevent the airing in public
OF the troubles Of their parents. That was
what he meant in his letter. he said. Mr.
Honey told Of INFORMATION he had received
before coming TO court that a reconcilia-
ton had been effected and that Mrs
Conkling was 10 receive 5000 from her
husband and have the custody OF their
three daughters. Mr.. Steuer denied that
there had been a reconciliation. Justice
Gerard gave the lawyers until to-day 10

BILL TO AFFECT 80 PER CENT OF
OFFICERS.-Nearlys six hundred officers
in the army now on detached service will

the rank Of captain and below now on
detached service will be affected by the re-
quirements OF the bill as construed by the
judge advocate general Brigadier General
T.. n. Crowder Under the new Law as
interpreted these officers can remain on
detached service no more than four years.
or. In other words, must serve AT least
two out Of six years In the branch OF SER
vice 10 which they are assigned. Thirty
officers were picked at random by the Cen
eral Stsff. and an Investigation Of their
records disclosed the fact that fifteen OF
them must be returned to the regular SER
vice at once and eight more within the
next six months.
The General staff recognizes that II has
big task to adjust the service to meet
the requirements Of the new Law, and is
now busilv engaged i'm picking out sue
cessors TO the officers who must return tn
active service. Inasmuch as the RESPONSE
bIlity for complying with the provisions
of the law In this respect rests with the
Genera! staff, there is unusual activity, be-
cause p violation carries with il a penalty
