committee
IL Mr.. Eustis decides TO follow the

ration chairman to give women this
honor
Chairman Weller. of the public COM
fort committee. has found that probe bly,
ne win not have TO use the schools as
barracks for visiting troops inaugural
week. A committee of fifty volunteers
is now seeking private quarters, and
probably will be able to accommodate
all the soldiers without resorting to The
school method. However, if this COM
mittee fails. Mr.. Weller will take dras-
tic measures to force his petition for
school permits
New Jersey Strong.
Mr.. Weller declared this afternoon
that from applications OF New Jersey
organizations for quarters. he expects
that the State is planning TO turn out
completely to honor Governor Wilson
at his Inauguration. The Essex troop
win be the guard OF honor in the in
augural parade, and there will be rep
resentatives of practically every poll
teal and civic organization in the State
VIII Tammany Hall break its usual
custom this year and refuse to enter
the inaugural parade because of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson's unfaSorable view of
the great Democratic machine? This
question is causing much speculation in
Democratic circles, especially as Tam
many Hall thus far has taken no steps
toward obtaining a place in the parade.
One of the greatest features of the
parade, now practically arranged, will
be delegation of 100 Porto Ricans clad
in distinctive native white costumes and
Panama hats.
Not Worried Over Supper
washiHgtonians today are not worried
over the prospects OF no supper at the
inaugural ball. In all quarters il is
agreed that if the ball is held in the
Pension building. that will be joy
enough. In fact, SO anxious are the
citizens that the annual affair be in
the accustomed place, that they would
be willing to sacrifice some of the ex-
tras
Chairman o. u p. Johnson, of the
supper oommittA will report to the
inaugural commitNe next THURSDAY on
the advisa bility of emitting the elabor-
ate supper heretofore served at sl.5o
plate. To accomplish this result in
years past, the inaugural committee
has been obliged TO face deficit of
about s2.000, and the aim of the COM
mittee is to have the inauguration cere-
monies cost no more than the amount
collected from citizens and returned

Goodwin Succeeds Pence.
Thomas j. Pence, chairman OF the
publicity committee, has resigned the
business. Mr.. Pence handled the pub
iicity work for the Democratic national
campaign and then took long vaca-
ton. This has put him behind in his
own affairs SO Ear that he decided he
could not attempt TO direct the publicity
work of the Inauguration.
In his place. Earl Goodwin. wash
ington newspaper man. has been APP
pointed. He will begin at once on the
appointment of his committeeman, after
which he will outline a plan for giving
the inaugural plans publicity through
out the country.

on Public Grounds and Buildings tomor-
row or early next week, and by the

miftee. They have given him a number
of unique and bea utifui set-piece designs
