Women of the Democracy.

Since the closing days of the
Roosevelt administration. and par
ticularly during the following four
years, Washington society enjoyed
series of brilliant entertainments
which have rarely been surpassed at
any capital Wealthy residents from
all parts of the country not only came
to the capital to spend their winters,
but many of them built their own
homes. Mr. and Mrs. Perry Belmont
put up one of the most gorgeousiy
appointed mansions in Washington.
Mrs George Pullman of Chicago built
an imposing home which was recently
sold TO John Hays Hammond. Mrs.
Marshall Field of Chicago took long
lease on one of the marble palaces
built by Mrs. John b. Henderson ana
spent 5000 on extensions and I'M
provements TO the building. Henry
White, former American ambassador
to France, erected a magnificent nome
at the head OF what is now known as
the Avenue of the Presidents. There
We're many more equally well known
people who, though they did not build
their own homes, leased magnihcent

The question which now cenfronts
society is will these people come

winters if President Wilson and his
cabinet mean To institute a regime or

EttOr Barred from
Lynn by Police,

Lynn, Mass, Oct. 13.-Orders were
issued by Chief of Police Burekes
Saturday, barring Joseph j. Ettor
from every public hall in Lynn. The
determination of Chief Burckes to
prevent Ettor from carrying out his
plan of making several speeches in
local halls has the approval of Mayor
Newhall, Labor leaders and, it is
claimed, very large majority of the
Lynn shoe operatives.
"Ettor," said Chief Burckes, lis an
undesirable. He is not wanted in Lynn
and the police department does not
propose to tolerate him. lie made his
last speech in a public hall, last sun
day night. lie will not be permitted
to appear as speaker in any public
hall in Lynn and he will not be al
lowed to make any speeches on street
corners. And Ettor knows it. OF
course we cannot keep him out of the
halls of organizations which Will per
nit him to enter their rooms, but we
will stop him anywhere from making
inflammatory speeches. The order is
sued, Saturday, means just what IL
SAYS, and if any attempt is made to
violate 1t | will take Immediate ac-
ton"
Ettor had his first run-in with the
Lynn police department, today. by
means of a circular signed 'Shoe Work
ers' Protective tTnion,' Ettor, who has
been in Lynn a week trying to start a
general strike in the shoe factory of the
A. f. Little CO., urged all shoe workers
to attend a meeting scheduled to be held
in odd Fellows hail. this afternoon.
AS soon as Chief Burekes learned OF
the circulation of the paper he notified
the owners of the hall that he would
not permit the doors to be opened. They
Immediately assented to the order. To
be prepared for emergency action, Chief
Burekes sent squad of eight policemen
and two sergeants to the hall.
Ettor and few of his followers came
along. were told of the stand of Chief
Burckes and Immediately started for the
headquarters of Il naturalization club on
Monroe street. That the shoe workers
did not respond to the invitation to at
tend the meeting was demonstrated by
the fact that very small number of
men approached the doors of the hall.

w. Alexander of this city, who has

offices here that G. j. Pennington, one

turned out in the Volturno disaster,
and he was among the rescued.
Mrs Alexander declared that the

him that he had written to the Lon

them of his vision and asking to be
transferred to another steamer. Mrs.

Banks Will Not

| Washington, Oct. 13.-That the country

drawn from b. f. Harris of Champaign,

the committee on banking and currency.

that the bankers at the Boston con-
vention We're influenced by the big banks
to oppose this bil?"
''Emphatically, no. hepled Mr.. Har-
ris. mo such influence was attempted
in any shape. form or fashion. Had any
influence been essayed we would have
resented it in unmstakable manner"
Equally significant was question then
put by Senator O'Gorman, which disclos-
ed the sentiment of those Democrats
who join Senator Weeks in opposition
to some provisions of the measure.
''They simply tremble at the pros
pect of a dangerous and unseientifie
measure being imposed upon the
country? asked O'Gorman.
THAT was it, exactly" said Mr..
Harris. Whereat Senator Weeks smil-
ed and left the chamber.
AS a matter of fact Senator O'Gor-
man, Senator Hoke Smith and other
leaders on the Democratic side are
fully in accord with Senator Weeks,
who heads the Republicans in the cur
rency legislation, on many fundamen-
tai features.
They agree with Senator Weeks in
approval OF some provisions of the
hill: they join him in opposition to
other provisions; they support him
in the contention that a measure OF
such vital import to the country
should not be rushed through with
undue haste, nor be made strictly
party piece of legislation.
IF given opportunity said Sena-
tor Weeks. the Republicans gladly
will join in the framing of sound,
scientific currency law. We are not
thinking of party glory but of the
welfare OF the people and the estab-
iishmen, of the financial interests OF
the country upon a modern stable
basis
At the instance of Senators 0Gor-
man. Hoke Smith and others it now
is regarded as highly probable that
Senator Weeks and other Republicans
will be given a voice in the framing of
