District Will Fare Well"

AS democrat | naturally rejoice in
his election. but | rejoice mostly for what
L expect that he will do for the District
OF Columbia. The District will naturally
fare very well at his hands. He will see,
am sure, that the government employees
here. upon whom Washington business
men depend to such an extent, are not
disturbed I'm their positions. and that moth
ing like the proposed seven-year tenure
of Office plan is inaugurated
Il have already been told by members
of Congress that the incoming Congress-
under Wilson, will assume more liberal
spirit toward the District of Columbia
Gov. Wilson understands the form OF
government in the District of Columbia.
He has studied it. and / am sure he will
look after us. He will not have to be
educated AS to what the District is. He
knows more about ii row than a great
many people who have been in power
here from time TO time. So that | have
every reason for believing, as 1 say. that
he will make the best President the
United States has had for fifty years.
Predicts Prosperity.
A. Lsner of the Palais Royal was an
other Washington business man who to-
day expressed the opinion that the coun-
try would continue in its present pros
porous condition under Wilson.
He will make very good President
in my OPINION" Mr.. Lisner said, '.and
things will go on just the same as they
are now. | was a Taft man, but that is
over now, and Gov. Wilson is a man or
great ability and will do his best to make
a good showing now that the democrats
have come into power
81 see no reason why there should be
any let up in the present prosperity. Gov.
Wilson understands the subject perhaps
better than many others, and / have no
doubt he will be able to lead the country
in all questions of business
and political economy.

WOMAN IS KILLED
|. BY ESCAPING GAS IN
ROOM OVER SALOON
Mrs. Anna B. Geiger Pro-
prietor of Barroom Twen-
ty-fve Years.

With gas flowing from a small stove,
Mrs. Anna b. Geiger, for twenty-five
years proprietor of a bar room at 102
Indiana avenue northwest, was found
dead this morning in her room above
the saloon.
A defective connection on the gas
stove, which had given trouble before,
was responsible for the woman's death.
A leak was discovered in the tube sew
eral days ago, and had been repaired
temporarily, but this morning 1t was
found that the tube had again become
separated, allowing the gas to escape.
Mrs. Geiger was found shortly after
G o'clock by her son-in-law, Darius Gas
kins, who detected the odor of gas,
which he traced to her room. A hurry
call was sent to the Casualty Hospital |.
but when the ambulance arrived the
physician pronounced life extinct. Cor
Oner hewitt gave a certificate of death
due to accidental asphyXiatiOn.
Mrs. GeigeT was siXtY-two years old,
and after the death of her husband,
twenty-five years ago, conducted the
saloon.

Quartet Numbers by Mozart

Two quartets by Mozart and Beetho-

ternoon at the New Willard. From the

give parts of this quartet a dignity
not usually associated with the name
of Mozart. For playing restrained with
the most scrupulous taste, yet free
from the slightest trace of Journalism,
one could not have desired anything
1ined than the Fonzaleys' reading OF
this opening number.
The first bars of the Beethoven +
minor quartet. with their Promethean
energy and sublime contempt for aca-
demic tradition, ring like a challenge to
the whole Mozart conception of exist
ence. It must have seemed to Beetho-
vens contemporaries like the French
revolutionists hammering at the gates
of Versailles. The late opus number
is almost contradicted by the youthful
Vehemence which Characterizes almost
the entire quartet, reaching It's climax
in the final allegretto agitato. 1t was
sung throughout In a most satisfying
manner. Many will long remember the

PARENT.TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION UNION
MEETS OPPOSITION
Plan Will Be Further Dis
cussed at Meeting To-
! morrow.

What promises to be an interesting
effort for control of the various parent
teachers organizations in the District
is that which Is being carried on by the
Child Welfare Association in connec-
tlon with the District Congress of
Mothers, which wishes TO consolidate
the various associations under that
body.
At meeting of the supervising prin-
Cipals at the Cairo last Sunday, the
matter was put up to them. Teachers
also were acquainted with the move
ment although it Is understood, but a
small portion of the teachers were
present at the meeting. Tomorrow tho
Childs Welfare Association will meet
the parents of the different associations
TO broach the subject of consolidation.
From the expression of many of
those vitally interested in the parent
teachers associations, the time for con-
solidation and federation is not ripe.
Many think that the best interests OF
the associations would be SubServed II
the associations are affiliated.
It is understood that the associations
viii willingly send delegates and help
so far as possible, but many of the
parent-teachers associations are not in
favor of the proposed federation.
In many States the National Congress
roS Mothers has taken over the parent
teachers associations for the welfare of
the child and members of the District
Congress of Mothers think the time is
at hand to take control of the asSocia-
tionS here.
The committee OF the District Con-
guest of Mothers, recently appointed to
look into the consolidation and effilia-
tion plan. will recommend that the as
sociations have delegates to the con-
gress, instead of affiliating, according to
Mrs. Edith Kingman Kern, chairman
of the committee.
Rafter, Mrs. A. a. Birney, and others
interested in the movement, have called
meeting of the parents of the city,
which will be held at the Cairo tomor-
row afternoon. The report of the COM
mittee of the congress on affiliation will
be taken up then, it is understood.
According to Supt. William NJ. Da-
wilson, the best interests of the smaller
bodies should first be served, and any
, thing which will hinder the good work
now being done would be a detriment
DIR. Davidson has manifested interest in
the get together spirit of parent and
teacher for the best interest of the
pupil, and has lent his support to the
organizations.
Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey, member
of the Board of Education, thinks that
the idea of delegates to the District
Congress of Mothers is a good one.
The parents will be sounded on the
question at the meeting tomorrow.

.GEORGIAN'S EFFORT
TOBLOCK PENSIONS
BILL PROVES Vain
Congressman Roddenberry
Crushed by Steam Roller
for Filibustering.

The Congressional Record today is de-
voted largely TO the lmpassioned re-
marks of Congressman Anderson Rod
denberry of Georgia, who late yester-
day conducted an extraordinary filibust-
er against an omnibus pension bill.
For six hours Mr.. Roddenberry, prac-
tlcally unaided except by Congressman
Tribble, also of Georgia, held up the
passage of the pension measure. IL was
nnally necessary for the Rules Com
mittee to hold a hurried meeting and
bring In gag rule" to choke off the
protests of the Indignant Georgian.
When the House adjourned, with only
one of the three omnibus pension bills
passed, it found Mr.. Roddenberry
hoarsely charging that some members
OF the House had voted both AYE" and
may" on the passage of the one bill
In order to fake the presence of a
quorum
The Chair cannot assume that any
member would vote on both sides of a
proposal" said Speaker Clark, land the
standing vote as counted passes the
bill and indicates the presence of a
quorum"
Nevertheless, Mr. Roddenberry stated
'on his responsibility as a member Of
the House. that certain members stood
up on both sides of the proposition"
Stanuing on the eide lines and watch
Ing the filibuster of Congressman Rod
denbcIry and his lieutenant, Mr.. Tri0-
BILE, Coz greSsman Witherspoon of Mis-
sissippi observed:
IF we had had just five lighters like
Roddenberry and TribbIe in the House
for the past fifty years the Federal pen
sion rolls today would be only $25 900 Wl9
instead of 5000, 900, 900. The pension in
crease Is alarming"
Old-timers regarded the Roddenbcrry

Georgian is new member, without
technical knowledge of the rules. and he
went up against the parliamentary
sharks Of the House, who finally
