MRS. BRYAN ARRIVES
At FIELD OF BAT TIE
Nashville Woman Goes At Once
in Secret Conference With
Her D. A. R. Associates. /.

Mrs. Charles B. Bryan, of Nashville,
Tenn, candidate for president general
of the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, arrived in Washington today to
attend the Continental Congress which
begins Monday in Continental Memorial
the New Ebbitt, refused on first arrival
to make any statement for publication
and she went at once into secret confer
ence with several OF her followers
These have been awaiting her arrival
with impatience, for Mrs. Bryan whote
here that she would be in the city last
Friday, and it was announced first that
she would be here that day and then
again the next day.
1t is known that Mrs Bryan believes
that she has some chance to win as a
compromise candidate and 1t is an un-
denied fact that boht the Scott Horton
and Story factions Of the d. A. R.,
and the conservatives" would both
prefer to see Mrs. Bryan win than the
other.
With respect to pledged votes. Mrs.
Bryan has far fewer than either Mrs.
Story or Mrs. Scott. This is partly be-
candidacy. Mrs. Bryan was once in the
race, then out Of 1t by withdrawal,
and then in again. Her friends in the
District are reputed angry because
Mrs. Horton was made the administra-
ton candidate. Mrs. Bryan having
been an administration woman in the
past.
Mrs. Bryan, after her conference, an
nounced that she was in the race to
ticket in the field. 1t is alleged that
religious issue is being made against
her and considerable feeling about this
is being shown by her friends.

DR.. Mary Walker and listened to a short
address from that well-known person.
I'VE Just stood about the White House
fountain while she told us of some OF

impressed, apparently. both by the
President and by the weu-known advo-
cate of woman's rights.
Today the party will visit the Capitol.
Tomorrow there will probably be a trip
to Fort Myer and Saturday morning
they will depart for home. A stop of a
few hours will be made in Philadelphia
to see some of the sights there, inclua-
ing Independence Hall.

Society Leader Urges
Adoption of Trousers
By Women Who Work

Trousers would be q sensible
dress for working women,
thinks Mrs. Christian Dominique
Hemmick, Washington social
leader and dictator of style.
"The narrow skirt idea has come
to such q pass" says Mrs. Hem.
mick, ''that It is disagreeable.
Why not substitute comfortable
and sensible trousers for the
working woman's present dress.
SThe society woman with an auto
or carriage at her command
does not feel the restrictions
of narrow skirts, but the poor
working girl who has to use
street cars or walk is seriously
hampered by the extreme skirt
fashions"

English Ayerse to CHANGE,

There is nothing more amusing In
all the quaint and curious customs of
the English house of commons than
the strange ceremony which marks the
termination of each session.
The moment the house Is adjourned
lond-voiced messengers and policemen
cry out In the Hobbies and corridors:
Who goes homer"
These mysterious words have sound
ed night after night for centuries
through the hall of parliament.
The custom dates from a time when
1t was necessary for members to go
home Ia parties, accompanied by men
carrying links or torches for common
protection against the foodpads who
infested the streets of London. But
though that danger has long since
passed away. the question Who goes
homer" is still asked, night after night,
during the session OF parliament.
No reply is given, and none is exs
pected.

with his father, Antonio. for de-
frauding banks of more than $1,000

expected TO recover.
Details OF the confession are lack

tional in the extreme, and TO include
information OF the whereabouts OF
S4eo,0.0 worth of securities of which
the officers knew nothing.
