Hollow Horn Bear
Receives His Rifle

Hollow Horn Bear. Dig chief of the
Rosebud Sioux, is happy today. His
racial dignity is shattered into bits,
all because he was honored yester-
day with the presentation of hunting
rifle, one which he himself surrendered
to the Government a quarter of CEN
tury ago.
Everett II. Taylor surprised the aged
Redskin IN the office of the Commits
5ioner Of Indian Affairs. Mr.. Taylor
made graceful speech of presenta-
ton, Hollow Horn Bear enjoying the
ceremony and the hmelight to the full.
Mr.. Taylor did not remind the chief
that the Sioux were responsible for q
discord on the Bad Lands of South
Dakota nearly twenty-five years ago and
that. at the end of a long and arduous
campaign. in which the Indians proved
difficult to subdue, Hollow Horn Bear
surrendered this self-same rifle In token
Of his submission. But II is alleged
that the chief remembers the incident
well, and was able to identify the rife
by certain tribal marks he had placed
upon IL.

ROPER TALKS WITH
DEPARTMENT CHIEF
New First Assistant Has Long
Talk With Postmaster Gen.
eraI Behind Closed Doors.

Postmaster General Burleson held
a long conference today with Daniel
c. Roper. who is announced to be the
First Assistant Postmaster General.
The conference, which took place in
Mr.. Burleson's Offices in the depart
ment. was behind closed doors and
secretaries and messengers had in
structions that callers except by az
poiutment were not to disturb the
new chief of the department. 1t was
announced that no statement would
be Civ en- out today regarding the
successors to Second Assistant POST
master General Stewart and Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General De-
Graw.
1t Is denied that James j. Elakslee
is to succeed Mr.. Stewart. No decision
has been reached yet, it Is stated. al
though probably a determination will
be made by tomorrow.
Probably the new Postmaster Gen
eral has more office filling trouble on
his hands than all the rest Of the
Cabinet together. Thousands and
thousands of applications are on file
for Jobs as postmaster and hundreds
of applicants are here in person.
These are being brought to the de-
partment by their Congressmen. who
are personal friends of Mr.. Burleson,
and, since his taking office. Mr.. Bur-
Lesson has literally been besieged by
delegations led by members of the
House.
Today was the first time he has been
able to give his undivided attention
to the question of filing the positions
Immediately under him.
Other men in the department besides
Mr. Roper were ushcred into Mr.. Bur-
leson's office today. No statement
would be given out In his office as to
who these were.

REBUFF ANSWER TO
PRESIDENT PLEA
Hampshire Democrats Cannot
Be Persuaded to Vote for
Hollis as Senator.

CONCORD. n. H.. March 9.-The ap-
peal of President Wilson to New Hamp-
shire Democratic legislators to elect
Henry F. Hollis to the United States
Senate met with a rebuff when State
Senator John w. s. Joyall of Manches-
ter told Senator Hughes of New Jersey
that even IL President Wilson came per-
sOnally to Concord and asked him to
vote for Hollis, he would not do so.
The answer of the Manchester State
Senator was considered SO insolent by
Senator Hughes that the latter left at
once for Washington. The message
that Senator Hughes brought to New
Hampshire Democrats was this:
That President Wilson, without at
all attempting to interfere in the choice
Of the legislators of New Hampshire.
hoped that they might aid in the cleo
ton of Henry F. Hollis. that the slen-
der Democratic majority of two in the
United States Senate might be in
creased.
Hollis, after eight weeks of balloting.
is still within five votes Of election to
the Senate, and there are that many
scattering Democratic votes.
Several times he has been within three
votes of election, and many times could
have been chosen whit the assistance
Of the four Democratic members from
Manchester.
Hollis is a tariff reformer. while the
quartet Of Democrats from Manchester
are either employed or directly con-
nected with the textile mills.

THIRTY STATES HAVE
ADOPTED AMENDMENT
Change in Constitution Provid-
ing for Direct Elections Is
Expected This Year.

Thirty States have already ratified the
proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton for the direct election of Senator's.
Ratification by only six more Legislas
lures is needed before the amendment
becomes part Of the Constitution.
1t is deemed a certainty now that the
amendment will be adopted as a part
of the Constitution either this spring
or next winter. The amendment has
been ratified by one House In half a
dozen Legislatures, so that the pros
poets for action this spring are good
Notices to the Secretary of State of
the action of the Legislatures are slow
in coming in. The result is that the
official returns here show that only
eighteen States have ratified the amend
ment This gives an entirely erroneous
idea of what Is occurring. AS a matter
of fact, the amendment Is being ratified
with remarkable quickness and dis
patch.

NEWUT|L|T|ES BOARD
WILL REVISE RULES
Reforms Already Drafted. Are
to Be Promulgated by New
go -
Service Commission.

When the Public Utilities Commission
organizes tomorrow. one Of the first
matters to come before it will be the
question of revising rules for the equip
ment and operation of the street cars
of the District. Commissioner Cuno II.
Rudolph said today that the Public
Utilities Commission will take up at
once the reforms already drafted by the
old District Electric Railway Commits
sion.
These new regulations were sent up
by the District Electric Commission to
the Interstate Commerce Commission
for approval and PRONUNCIATION just at
the time. the bill was enacted which
put the District Electric Railway Com
mission out of existence, and took away
from the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion its control over the street rail-
ways of the District.
Schedules Improved.
Likewise, improvement of several
street car schedules. notably that OF
the Fourteenth street line, had been
planned by the District Electric Com
mission, and the data on this will also
be considered at an early meeting of
the Utilities Commission.
The new equipment and operation
regulations, which are now repesins
in the files of the Interstate Commerce
Commission without chance that that
body can never adopt them, are the
most comprehensive proposition of the
sort the District has ever known. They
deal with all details Of equipment, in
cluding ventilation, width of seats and
aisles, height Of car steps. airbrakes,
signs, and every other feature of a
street car which has to do with the
comfort and health of the public.
Respecting operation of cars, the new
regulations are just as detailed, and
some new provisions are added in the
belief that they will tend to prevent
accidents.
Result of Conferences.
Adoption of them by the District Elec-
tric Commission followed long study OF
operation of cars and several confer.
ences with street railway company of.
| fcials. Some of the reforms proposed
| by the Commissioners and included ir
| the regulations as sent to the Inter
state Commerce Commission were Wig
orously opposed by the street car men
| but were included, nevertheless.
The regulation regarding the height
Of car steps represented the result o.
| the campaign waged a year ago b,
many District women, headed by Mis-:
Janet Richards, the lecturer; and Mis-!
| Elizabeth Brown, director of primar,
! instruction In the District schools.

WILSON REGIME TO

President, Marshall, Bryan, and

The edict has gone forth that the Will

liquors served at any entertainment.
Not only do the President and Mrs,
Wilson and their daughters taboo the
sparkling cup, but also do the Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall, the Sec
retary of state and Mrs. Bryan and
nearly all the Cabinet.
This is one of the most important
changes In the social regime in Wash
inston under the new Administration,
and it is reckoned by those who know,
that II will save to society hundreds oil
thousands Of dollars annually spent IN
tnat enc luxury by those who entertain
frequently. g-

Bryan had the British ambassador to
lunch with them a few days ago, ano
was asked what wines should be served

Mrs. Champ Clark took the initiative

change for Mrs Clark. as she had never

Glasses Removed.
Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes was the
last mistress of the White House to
taboo wines and liquors. her first order
being to have the glasses removed from
the table before she and the Presiden,
sat down for their first meal.
BY some curious freak of nature the
very sideboard on which those wine
glasses were set now graces a bar room

Obituary.

Enos A. Brechbill was born at the
present home of his parents in the
year t893ronr the 18th daywof jan
uary; he died Oct. 25, 1918.
The immediate cause of his death
was a hemorrhage of the lungs. The
sad accident which resulted in his
death will always be shrouded with
mystery, and at the best its nature
is little better than conjecture
These are the facts: Enos arose
we'll and cheerful as usual, made the
fire and after warming himself a
bit when to the barn with pail in
hand and had begun the morning
chores by milking. His wife, think
ing he stayed somewhat long, called
from the house to Enos who was ON
his hands and knees and who she
saw through the barnyard gate.
Thinking he was playing with the
dogs. as he frequently did, she
called again, and the third time
without receiving response. She
went to him and found
Enos on hands and knees. uncon-
scious. All she could get from him
was groans. His wife was aided in
leading him into the house which
was done with difficulty. The best
guess about the accident seems to
be that the COW became excited and
Enos ran in front of the animal.
She plunged forward, crushing him
upon the chest and throwing him
back with the head striking over the
POST and gate. both of which were
broken. His head was crushed and
,oncussion of the brain followed. He
