Already one Of the Washington pa
pcts has stated that washington so

This Is true Only in case your room
ovcrlooks Pennsylvania avenue along
which the glittering pageantry Will
proceed. You have to pay extra
prices that day-lust as you had to
az the Chicago hotels during the con-
Vention
The seriousness with which Wash
ineton goes about this business or
getting up the inaugural festivities
is always astonishing, and IT is more
solemn this time than usual For
two weeks, every day, the Washing
ton papers have contained from one
to three columns of speculation as to
who would be chairman of the com
mittee on celebration,
y local banker named jordan
seemed to have landed the distinc-
tion. Then some one dug up the
damning proof that Mr., Jordan had
given s25 to $1,000 purse for the
Bull Moose campaign. All Wash
ington pointed at him the finger OF
scorn and derision. His stock went
down.
In vain Mr.. Jordan protested that
he had given similar contribution
to Tafts campaign and having
thrown these sheet anchors to the
windward In both directions he mad
then dashingly backed his real Judg-
ment by giving $500 to the Wilson
campaign.
The explanation didn't goa man
who would do this would do any
thing. lie might oversleep on the
very morning of the day he was to
be queen Of the May.
The fight was on
How would it look the demo-
cratic managers said, FOR a wash
ington banker who divided his loyal
ty in time Of need to be riding the
brass mounted horse at the head of
the inaugural procession? How would
1t look for Mrs Jordan to lead the
ball on the new presidents arm when
her husband, who had $3.50 to give to
politics gave only 5000 of it to the
winner
1t appears to them as though Mr..
Jordan tried to play a cinch-and
the matter was taken to Mr.. Wilson
direct.
The result was that William Cor
coran Eustis was selected as chair
man OF the inaugural committee. He
is brother of the late Senator Eus-
tis OF LOUISIANA.

to believe that he gave anything to
