dates for several weeks, but when the

M. Eustis was unexpectedly named.
The rivalry for the position has 2al-

Ball Plan Disapproved.
President Wilson's pan on the inau-
sural ball was. .discourag;ng to many of
the committeeman. but there was never
any protest against the President 8
course. nor any spirit or quitting. When
1t was found that an eleventh hour
shift was necessary, the committee inn
rnediately altered plans, and decided
that It would make the inaugural pa
rade and the fireworks more elaborate
than ever before. .E ..s.-f ~. E.
II decided that the crowds should
have an opportunity to See everything
without going back home, tired to death
by strenuous round or events, many
of which could not possibly be visited.
The fact that the suffragettes came in
for date ahead Of the Inaugural day
fete proved to be somewhat annoying to
SOME OF the committee, put as a whole
lit served as an incentive for the best
efforts of the committee. The spirit ii
created was that cf,desire to eclipse the
women, who had stolen the thunder
OF the Inauguration. as well as taking
the setting of the inaugural festivities.
Rivalry With Women.
The rivalry with the suffragettes was
not the only obstacle in the path Of
the committeeman They found. too
that correspondents in the Capitol were
sending to out-of-town papers q serie,
Of stories that misrepresented the atti.
