WILL RUSH PLANS
FOR INAUGURAL
Chairmen Of Various Subcom-
mittees Kept Busy Select
ing Their Assistants.
HEADQUARTERS OPENED
Regular Meeting Of General Force to
Be Held About January l, Il
Is Stated.
HEADQUARTERS OPENED

MerrymAl1ing and Christmas dinners
were given preference over work yester-
day by the chairmen and officers Of the
inaugural committees and few new devel-
opments were made. A few new officers
were appointed by some Of the committee
heads. The headquarters in the Willard
will open bright and early this morning,
however. Secretary Wick Rill have re-
turned from New York, where he spent
Christmas, and things will start with a
jump.
II is understood that the officers of the
important committee on civic organiza-
lions, OF which Robert N. Harper is the
head. have been selected as follows: Alvin
G. Belt and Thomas P. Morgan. vice
chairmen, and Edmund S. Wolf, secre-
tary. These names have not been sub
mitted to Chairman Eustis, however, and
Mr. Harper would neither verify nor con-
tradict them last night.
Chairman NJ. i. Weller, of the commit
ter on public comfort, yesterday made
known the following appointments to his
committee. Capt. James F. Oyster. first
vice chairman; James F. Hood, second
vice chairman, and Henry X. Simpson,
secretary.
Places for Visitors.
On this committee will fall the work of
finding lodging and boarding places for
the visitors to the inaugural. Probably
as large a part of this work as any will
be in making provisions to prevent ex-
tortion on the part of people renting
rooms and feeding the guests, and Mr..
Weller states that he will exert every
effort to see that reasonable prices are
maintained all over the city.
Maj. Richard Sylvester, Superintendent
of Police, has been placed at the head
of the committee on public order. Yes
terday he was unable to give a full list
of the officers OF his committee, but
stated that in all probability L. B. Hess
would act as secretary.
Isaac Cans, chairman of the committee
on fireworks, yesterday gave out the fol-
lowing names as those selected as Off
GERS on his committee: Frederick A.
Fenning, vice chairman: Thomas Grant,
secretary, and Earl Goodwin, assistant
secretary.
Pleased with Progress.
The various officers Of the inaugural
force are pleased with the way the work
has progressed up to date. The subscrip-
ton fund has now reached about $4,000
and the heads of all the committees
have been named.
I'VE feel that things have gone very
well so far" said Corcoran Thorn, chair
man of the finance committee, yesterday.
1t must be borne in mind that the nam
ing OF the chairman was almost three
weeks behind the usual time this year.
Heretofore the chairman has usually
been named by November ., and it has
usually been ten days or SO later before
all of the committee heads have been
chosen.
Now, although we did not know who
was 10 be general chairman until Satur-
day. We find ourselves with all of the
chairmen picked out and only the in
augural committee yet to be named be-
fore We can start I'm in earnest. That
will come shortly. and l believe that We
will be able to hold a regular meeting
Of the committee about January /"

WHY HE NEEDED THE SHOES
Passenger With a Trunk Full OF Foot
wear Was In the Toe Dancing
Business.

New York customs inspectors who
greeted arriving passengers from the
liner Caronia were somewhat sur
prised in examining the trunk of a
tall. quiet appearing first cabin pas
senger, to find nothing except shoes.
"Anything else in this trunk 2"
asked the inspector.
'No, sir" replied the tall man,
"only shoes. There should be 157
pairs"
"Are you in the shoe business? =
"No," said the passenger, casual
ly. 'I'm a toe dancer. These are
my stock in trade. l seldom wear a
pair more than three times. I dance
50 violently that the toes are ruined
after three Dances
The inspector shut the trunk lid
and admitted the shoes duty free.

70 PLACE FOR HITCHCOCK
7ostnaster General the Victim ofltiis
own Orders, Most Faithfully
Carried Out.

Frank II. Hitchcock. the postmas-
ter general of the United States.
takes the deepest interest in even the
smallest details of the postal serv-
ice. One evening he was at the
Union station in Washington, when
he decided to 90 into one of the
railway mail service cars TO see how
the mail matter was being handled.
Being a tall man and very athletic,
he easily swung himself from the
platform into the car, but he did
not find il an easy matter TO stay
pat. a burly postal clerk grabbed
him BY the shoulders, propelled him
toward the side door, and practically
elected him TO the platform below.
"What do you mean by that ?"
asked Hitchcock, Indignantly.
Il mean TO keep You out Of this
gar" replied the clerk roughly.
Hitchcock has given US strict or
ilers to keep all strangers out Of
these cars.Y-Populaf Magazine.

DENVER PHYSICIAN
DISC0VERS-R NEW SERUM
FOR TYPHOID FEVER

Denver, Nov. Ga serum test for
the detection of typhoid fever whicii
is expected to surpass the old dag
nostic system OF weidal is the discov-
cry of Dr. Winthrop Blapcherd. in
terne at the county hospital.
Dr. Blanchard. graduate of the Tn
Iversity OF Colorado medical school
last June. has been working steadily
on the new test since a year ago last
December. and now. after completing
fifty-four experiments. fifty OF whicn
We're successful. Is confident that he Is
on the track Of a blood test which will
he highly efficient
He is not yet ready to divulge tho
theory OF his experiments. nor the ma
ture OF the serua. The test. however.
consists Of the employment OF CONF
plement obtained from the human
blood which Is introduced into the
presence OF dead typhoid bacteria. 1t
IS. therefore. called the complement
fxatioE test.
BY the old weidal system. typhoid
bacteria had to. be obtained by a long
series OF typhoid cultures In the blood
OF the guinea pig. DIR. BlanchArd's
new way will do away with this pro-
cess. and substitute the simpler one Of
using typhoid bacteria already exist
Ing in patients.
Or. Blanchard hopes also to ind a
means Of using this same serum for
the differentiation Of tuberculosis and
black plague as well as typhoid. HIS
associates At the county hospital crit
icIsed his first endeavor in this line -
impraoiicahle. but since then his ex-
periments have gained their praise
and approval. As soon as he has com
pleied 500 successful experiments. Dr.
Blanchard says. he will be ready to
give his discovery to the public.

FIRE SCARE

safely and without confusion.
The furnace at the Harrison building
is said not TO have worked well for

in order to raise the atmosphere in

business Of breeding butterflies, and
he now has wonderful collection Of
between 300 and 400 varieties Of
British and foreign butterflies and
moths, and set-up stock Of 4oo, 900,
all produced on his grounds. He was
the first to breed the butterfly in cap
tivity. and today he owns the largest
butterfly farm in the British isles.
He is an able and keen entomologist

iRgLANo's NATIONAL COLOR.

Now that the "wearing of the
green" is no longer a hanging mat
ter for Irishmen they seem inclined
TO discard it altogether. Sir Ed
ward Bume-Jones is quoted as say
ing that Screen isn't lucky color
for any Celtic creature to wear
while it Is remembered that Parnell
had positive superstitions against it.
Indeed, he was inclined to believe
that Ireland's bad luck was due TO
her adoption of green as the national
color and he always looked forward
with pleasure to being in a position
TO change it. And vet this may not
have been wholly a superstition.
Color is now a recognized curative
force in medicine and il is conceiv-
able that a concentration of national
sentiment upon a particular hue
might have its effect upon tempera-
ment.
