Until the small hours of this morn
ing clerks were working at the head
quarters of the Joint committee on the
celebration Of Independence Day. 1t
was a busy day for the workers at the
headquarters, for Miss Ethel NJ. Smith
and her co-workers are mighty anx-
ious that the pageant literature should
be in the hands of the school children
of Washington at the earliest moment
possible.
Letters are being prepared for
transmission to the teachers in both
public and parochial schools, and the
assurance is given that both teachers
and scholars are not to stand on the
order of an invitation, but are invited
to send in the names of those children
who desire to participate in the fea-
lures that are being prepared by
Washington Center of the Drama
League of America for the afternoon
of the Fourth.
Another group in the pageant has
been spoken for. Mrs. e. c. r. Hum
phries, directress of the Children of
the Confederacy, announced last night
that the children desired to fill the
group of little men and women of 1850.
This makes two entire groups that
have been taken over by patriotic So
cieties, the other being the group of
miniature George and Martha Wash
ingtons. fifty of each, the organization
of which has been assumed by the
Children of the Revolution.
The headquarters of the Indepen-
dence Day celebration committee had

that the members of the church choirs
of the city will lend their voices for
this great patriotic undertaking.

in Work for Washington
Structure.
ALL THE STATES MAY HELP

Impetus was given the movement beine
fostered by Mrs. Henry F. Dimock for
the building in Washington of the big
gest and most beautiful structure in the
world in the form Of a memorial hall
bearing the name OF the father of his
country. at a special meeting Of the Fed
Grafton of State Societies. held in the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms.
Mrs. Dimock was present at the meet
ing and explained in detail the proposed
memorial to George Washington. The
proposed building is to be erected at a
cost of IS, ,000,000 on the site Of the old
Pennsylvania Railroad station. donated by
Congress at the last session. The build
ing is to be used as a convention hall for
meetings Of every description.
Mrs. Dimock explained that it had been
originally intended to erect building
three stories high, but since she had been
approached by a number Of State organ
izations to provide space for permanent
State exhibits in the building ii was prac-
tically decided that a fourth story should
be added containing a large room for
each of the States and mammoth con-
vention hall.
The presidents of several State So
cieties heartily endorsed the project and
pledged their support to the movement.
They elaborated upon the advantages to
be derived by the States from having a
permanent exhibit in the National Cap
ital where people from all parts OF the
world could gather a definite idea or
its resources and industries. 1t is pro-
posed that each of the State Legislatures
appropriate $4,000 for the reservation OF
a room in the proposed memorial.
Charles D. Walcott. secretary OF tne
Smithsonian institution. explained In de-
tail the act of Congress vesting control
of the proposed memorial In the board
of regents of the Smithsonian Institution.
He removed the main obstacle which has
been hampering the progress OF the
movement. arising from the vague ian-
guage of the bill. The question mas
arisen whether or not 1t was necessary
10 gain the consent of Congress for the
use Of the building He declared that II
was not the sense of the bill that Con-
gressional consent was necessary Tor tne
use Of the building. but that II would oe

tired in a costume of glaring red
danced onto the stage at the Business
High School last night and proceeded to
sing and dance AT the Devils Ball,
she almost precipitated a small sized
riot. 1t took many minutes to quiet the
hundreds of children-and their elders
too-gathered there to witness an enter.
tainment given under the auspices of the

persons of national prominence. includ-
ing President and Mrs. Wilson, ex-Presi-
dent Taft. Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary
of State Bryan, and many others. were
impersonated in pantomime by children

was the impersonation of Taft, by John
Murphy. a heavyweight youngster who

COMMITTEE CLOSES HEARINGS.
Tariff Bill Probably Will Not Be
Reported Before June IS.

Subcommittees OF the Finance Com
mittee brought their hearings to close
late last night and will begin work re-
writing the schedules of the Underwood
bill today. The hearings attracted very
little interest. being of the usual
routine character. But by the order of
Chairman Simmons, the subcommittees
continued to receive delegations and
hear their plants up until the last
hour before midnight. With the close
of the legal day, hearings are at an
end and the work Of construction Will
begin. The subcommittee can hardly
complete their work this week.
The bill which must first be per-
fected by the subcommittee, then turn
ed over to the majority of the Finance
Committee, and after 1t has FINISHED
with it, be perfected in the party con-
ference in which all Democratic Sem
ators will participate, and then finally
be considered by the full membership
of the Finance Committee, Republicans
as well as Democrats, hardly will be
reported back in the Senate before June
l6 and probably it will be four or rve
days later.

Congregational Opponents of Woman
Suffrage to Be Heard.

Congress soon will ring with the echoes
of anti-woman suffrage oratory. Repre-
sentative Hefiin of Alabama and Repre-
sentative Stanley W. Bowdle of Ohio are
both preparing extensive arguments
against woman suffrage, and they will
deliver speeches at the first opportunity.
Representative Bowdle is a firm believ-

lot of homespun reasoning which he will
present to the House as soon as he can
get the floor for that purpose. Represent
ative Hefiin hasn't indicated what kind
of a speech he will make, but his friends
are looking forward to an interesting

The change was fought in the way in
which all similar changes always are
fought. The corrupt and interested poli-
ticians were against it, and the battle
cries they used, which rallied to them
most OF the unthinking conservatives,
were that We were changing the old con-
stitutional system. that We were defacing
the monuments Of the wisdom OF the
founders of the government, that we
were destroying that distinction between
legislative and executive power which
was the bulwark Of our liberties and
that we were violent and INSCRIPTIONS

that he had TO vote for ii because the
labor unions were strong in his district
and he was pledged TO support the bill.
The other. a sporting Tammany man
who afterward abandoned politics for
the racetrack. was a very good fellow
He told me frankly that he had 10 be
against the bill because certain interests
which were all powerful and with which
he had dealings required him TO DC
against il, but that | was free agent
and that If would look into the matter
he believed 1 would favor the legisla-
ton. As q matter Of fact, ! had sup
posed ! would be against the legislation.
and rather think l was put on the COM
mittee with that idea, for the respect
able people l knew were against 1t; II
was contrary 70 the principles OF polit-
zeal economy of the laissez fare kind
and the business men who spoke TO me
about II shook their heads and said that
II was designed TO prevent a man doing
as he wished and as he had right to
do with what was his own.
However my first visits TO the tenement
house districts in question made me feel
that whatever the theories might be, as a
matter of practical common sense / could
not conscientiously vote for the contin-
uance Of the conditions which ] saw.
These conditions rendered 1t Impossible
for the families Of the tenement house
workers TO live so that the children
might grow up fitted for the eXacting
duties Of American citizenship. ! visited
the tenement houses once with my col
leagues Of the committee. once with some
OF the labor union representatives, ana
once or twice by myself In few OF the
tenement houses there were suites OF
rooms ample in number where the work
on the tobacco was done In rooms not oc-
cupied for cooking or sleeping or living
In the overwhelming majority OF cases
however. there were one, two or three
room apartments. and the work OF manu-
featuring the tobacco by men, women
and children went on day and night In
the eating, living and sleeping rooms
sometimes in one room. l have always
remembered one room In when TWO lam
lilies were living. on my inquiry as 10
who the third adult male was ! was toio
that he was a boarder with one OF the
families. There we're several cniidren'
three men and two women in this room.
The tobacco was slowed about every
where, alongside the foul bedding. and N
a corner where there were scraps OF food.
The men. women and children In this
room worked by day and far on into the
evening, and they slept and ate there.
They were Bohemians. unable to speak

Americans do when they go 20 Paris
that the moral restraints OF his native

ability he was not shrewd enough TO re-

had no business to do. and from that time
or he dared not act save as those who
held his secret permitted him TO act
