WILSON MAY JOIN CLUB.
Prefers to Pay Dues Like Regular
Members.

Trenton, Feb. 2s.---"My declination OF
membership in the Chevy Chase Country
club" said Gov. Wilson yesterday in
explanation of the report that the fash.
ionable Washington club felt he had
snubbed it, was in reply to an offer Of
honorary membership. / don't expect to

word to his friends. As a consequence
many representatives voted with Cannon
in Difference to the administration, when
their political judgment urged them to
swing with the tide. The Cannon sup
porters were the first to be punished in
the congressional elections of 1910, and
it may be said of good many OF them
that they could have saved themselves
had not their loyalty to the administra-
ton prevented. Some men of this type
were afterwards taken care of by nomi-
nations to various federal positions.
1t now appears to be settled fact
that President elect Wilson will break
all the presidents he can, therefore
members of Congress are trying to re-
sign themselves to the knowledge that
the country probably will side with VIII
son against Congress on general princi-
pies. Senators and members expect that
the people will applaud rather than con-
denim DIR. Wilson's uncalledfor rebuff of
the Chevy Chase club and they fear that
the quicker he locks horns with Congress
the better the people will be pleased.
Sensation Over Chevy Chase.
Washington is having furious debate
over the staggering blow at local cour-
tesy struck by President-eleet Wilson in
declining an honorary membership in the
Chevy Chase club. The president elect
could have done nothing more surprising
If he had sent word that he would de-
cline to receive individual senators at
the White House, as Madison did In
theory and in fact every door in Wash
ngton is open to the president, and in
extending TO DIR. Wilson the customary
invitation to become an honorary mem
Der, the Chevy Chase club merely took
concert action. The University club has
/ clause in its bylaws making the presi-
lent of the United States an honorary
member, and Mr.. Wilson cannot avoid
his honor except by positive declina-
ion to be so regarded.

Being a Tract OF" 1.-THE W;ckedness of Sunday Baseball.
Based on a True Account of the ~ to $ Game Be-

Doubtless you can yet remember
Warded and iniauity punished which
you used to borrow each week from
the Sunday school library. One there
was among them which tcld of a
wicked, wicked little. boy named Bill
Jones who used to go fishing on Sun
day morning. The kind pastor and
the good little boys used to remon-
strate with him, hoping that his feet
might be turned toward church on
Sundays. Being a very wicked boy,
Bill Jones needed them not. Every
Sunday morning he went fishing, until
Il day the log on which he was
perched gave way and he was
drowned. OF course you remember
that story.
Well, this is going to be on the
same order. 1t is no ordinary tale:
it is a Sunday school book, and as
such we are proud of it. To our no.
ton it is the best ever done in that
line. 1t concerns a bad ball team
Chat much of it is true anyhow that

Sunday, but continued unheeding down

Despite the fact that some of their

the COllegians, the Highlanders
trounced the ball from Dan to Beer
sheba and forced the painting college
fielders to give an exhibition of their
ability as Marathon Blanks
men hit that ball until they were tired;
then the. game ended.
The college players weren't quite as
bad as the score would seem to indi-

BRIDE MUST LEAVE
COUNTRY

San Francisco, April 27.-Mrs. Percy
Drew, who killed himself after being
arrested by federal officers upon the
arrival of the couple here from AUS
tralia Friday, is to be deported. Act
ing upon kilograms from Bridgeport,
Conn.,, DreW's home and from Los
Angeles, the coroner has turned the
body of the young man over to an I'M
dertaking establishment and it will be
sent east.
At the hearing before the immigra-
ton authorities at Angel Island, Mrs.
Drew was unwilling to give detailed
information concerning her marriage
in Australia and she seemed unable or
unwilling to prove that Drew was an
American citizen. Mrs. Drew testi-
fled she had neither friends nor money
and the trial board, holding she was
likely to become a public charge, or
dered her deportation.
Information from Bridgeport says
that Drew was the 2~5-year-old son of
James Drew, a retired shipping mas
ter, who is a well known writer on
engineering topics and reputed
wealthy.
Young Drew, at an early age, be-
came afflicted mentally. Five years
age. he attempted to kill himself and
was committed to a hospital for the
insane from which he was released, it
was said, at the solicitation of the
wealthy parents of a young girl whom
he was reported to have married.
Drew subsequently disappeared and
when next heard from he had enlisted
