NOT FOR OFFICERS FAMILIES
Ruling on Admission to Government
Hospital for Insane.

inquiry was made recently of Judge
Advocate General Crowder the law Of
ficer of the army. whether the widow Of
an officer of the army might be admit
ted to, the Government Hospital for
the Insane.
He took the ground that the hospital
exists. as set forth in section 1898,
Revised Statutes, for the care and
treatment of the insane of the army
and navy and of the District of Colum-
bia." and that section 4S43 Revised Stat
utes, as amended, restricts patients
from the army to certain distinct
classes OF persons. which do not include
the families of officers.
He holds, therefore that the widow of
an officer as such is not entitled to
enter as a patient.

Big Function Already Receiv-
ing Attention in Washington.
IN QUEST OF LARGE HALL
Fear That Congress May Refuse
Use of Pension Office.
NEW BUILDING CONTEMPLATED
fastening Of the Temporary
Structure in View for June Con-
vention Suggested.

Plans for the Inauguration of Gov
Woodrow Wilson as President and Gov
Marshall as Vice President are already
occupying the attention of local demo-
Gratis. particularly that feature of the
ceremonies-the inaugural ball-which has
taken place for many years in the PEN
sion office. This seems to be the only
building in Washington large enough for
the ball, but there has been great oppo-
sition on the part of Congress in recent
years to granting its use for this purpose,
mainly because it entails loss of time
for part of the pension force.
If the pension building is not available
for the ball it may be determined to erect
a new hall. 1t was recalled today that in
Kansas City in 1900, when the democratic
national convention was held in that city,
an auditorium capable of holding 10000
persons was erected in three months. The
auditorium in Kansas City, where it had
been planned to hold the convention when
that city was selected as the meeting
place, was burned a few months before
the date of the convention, and it became
necessary to erect the new hall.

Example to Washington.

Example to Washington.
1t was suggested today that Washing
ton might take this occasion to start the
erection of a great convention hall.
which has been needed here for many
years. A part of the proposed conven-
ton hall, it was said, could be erected
and put in readiness for the inaugural
ball and the remainder of the building
could be finished at later date. If Con-
gresS will pass a resolution as soon as 1t
land for site it is believed these plans
for the convention hall may be carried
out
The Washington Chamber of Commerce
is now making plans to bring to this city
the convention of the National Railway
Supply Manufacturers Association, next
June.
1t is planned to erect a temporary hall
at a cost of $4,000. which will have
100000 square feet of floor space on one
floor. for this convention and the exhibit
which will be made by the manufac-
turers. 1t was suggested today that such
a building, larger than the pension build
ing, would be good place for the in
augural ball, and that by going to work
little earlier the hall could be finished
by March and then be ready for the
railway supply manufacturers in June.
Secretary Thomas Grant of the cham
Der and Vice President d. ]. Callahan
are going to New York next Tuesday to
confer with the executive committee
of the association in reference to the
convention, and it is likely that this mat
ter of using the hall for the inaugural
ball will be up for discussion also.
Considered by McCombs.

ic national committee and direct repre-
sentative of w. +. McCombs, chairman
of the national committee, will be in
Washington early next week to finish, if
possible. the conferences leading up to
the recommendation for the chairman of
the inaugural committee. Mr.. Wick was
, in the city yesterday. with H. H. Childers
of the New York headquarters, and to-
gether they went over the situation with
| John Costello, national committeeman for
the District of Columbia. Mr.. Wick as
| sured Mr.. Costello that the national CON-
mittee chairman would take Mr.. Cos
| tellO's recommendation for the head of
| the inaugural committee.
Mr. Costello is pursuing a policy of si-
| lence as to whom his choice would be.
| Others interested in the inaugural COM
| mittee Craftsmanship matter are adopting
an opposite policy, however. and the
names of prominent and near-prominent
democrats almost crowd the air at the
| local democratic headquarters. Inaugu-
| ration talk has taken place of the recent
interesting forecasts and eelction pheph-
| ecy. Scarcely a democrat in the city
| of any pretension has not either offered
himself or been offered by some loyal
| friend who believes his own opinion on
| the selection of chairman for this i'm
portant post viii insure unbounded sue

So many men have been suggested to
| Mr.. Costello that when he was asked for
| a list of possibilities he handed a news
paper reporter the visitors book" in
which 1,50O democrats enrolled their
names during the campaign.

Old Dia9lngs Take on New Leaso of Life as Result of Mod-
 ern Methods

The "mother camp" of Alas ka, the Circle diggings, are talk ing on a new life as the result of the introduction of modern ma chinery. This camp has been steadily worked since 1895, al- ways producing more or less good results by the shovel and sluice methods. Says the Fairbanks Ncws-Miner:
 ''In the estimation of Captain Bowman, of the Circle district, the output of that camp will be greatly increased this season oy- CT that of recent years, for in ad- dition 10 the Berry and Lamb hy- draulic plant on Eagle creek, the Clarence Bc.ry giants on Mann moth creek will be working stead lily all summer, while the Her rington and Lcvcridge hydraulic plant on. upper Mastodon, also will be busy. Besides this, the Elmer dfedgc, on Mastodon, should turn out a lot of money.
 Captain Bowman himself cX- poets to open up his property on lower Eagle creek, where he will open cut, using horses aud scrap ers to handle the dirt The cap tain is in town for a short time 10 pick up one of his horses and i0 secure some supplies. He will return next week.

 Home Rule

Mail advices from Washington
 say there .appears to be little doubt expressed but the Alaska home rule bill will pass the sen- ate before adjournment, and it las been intimatcd that follow i"g the adoption of the home rule plank in the last Alaska Repub- lican convention platform Presi- dent Taft will not oppose the measure, and the bill will receive his signature. In fact, in his Se- attle speech the president declar- ed he would sign the bill if pass ed by both houses.
 The home rule bill provides for an election of members of the territorial legislature next No- Vembcr, and the first session will convene for 60 days, starting in January at Juneau, which is de- clarcd under the territorial pro- visions of the bill to be the ter 'ritorial capital. The bill also puts over the delegate election from August 10 November. The orig inal bill drafted by Delegate Wickersham came from the com- mittee as compromise measure and has been amended 10 meet the opposition of several promi- nent northerncrs, following conference al Washington. Among the important features was a change which allows the laws passed by the Alaska Icgis- lalurr to go into effect without the approval of congress, but un- der the provisions congress re- serves the right to reject any of the acls passed by the Alaska ]
