Washington, D. c., March Is :
Richard Olney, of Boston, to Nhom
PRESIDENT Wilson offered the post #
ambassador to Great Britain, has de-
cllned. His letter of refusal was ie-
ceived at the white house today.
Mr.. Olney's letter was said to be
of a confidential nature. 1t was not
made public. Secretary Tumulty,
however, announced that Mr.. Olney
had declined for family reasons"
1t is understood that Mrs. Olney
has been in poor health, and that Mr..
Olney was loath to change his resi-
dence at his advanced age His many
business connections through his law
practice also are said to have influ-
enced him to remain in this country.
Speculation as to who might ne
chosen ambassador to Great Britain
began Immediately on the announce
ment of Mr.. Olney's declination
1t was pointed out that beside Mr..
Olney, President Wilson had had in
mind Charles w. Elliot, president
emeritus of Harvard, but had offered
Mr.. Olney the place because of his
conspicuous record in the democratic
party.
1t is not known that DR.. Elliot
would accept the post, as it has al
ways been understood that he de-
clined diplomatic offer from Presi-
dent Taft.

white house that the nomination Of

They were shocked and ineredulous

by giving him their support and also

Washington, March 15.-William c.
McAdoo is one of those Give wire
men who accomplish things. We're his
fame to rest on nothing else, it would
be secure as the builder of the HUI
son tunnels anr the author of a pub
lie service policy whose motto is
1.-The public be pleased" instead of
The public be damned"
He was one of the first New York
men to openly support Woodrow Will
son for the presidency, and during the
illness of William F. McCombs h
served as acting head of the demo-
cratic national committee through a
good deal of the most arduous period
of the campaign.
Though his greatest achievement is
distinctly one of engineering, Mr..
McAdoo is not an engineer, but law
yer. He was born at Marietta, Ga,
on October 81, 1863, so that he is nov
rot quite so years old. He attended
the University of Tennessee through
his junior year, but left college TO
study law while he supported him
self as deputy clerk of one of the
visions of the United, States circuit
court.
Even in his youth he had bent fof
the problems of railroading, for ear
ly in his professional life he became
counsel for the Richmond and Dan,
Vile railroad, and before he was 30
he was president of the Knoxville
Street Railway Company. Mr.. McAdoo
went to New York in 1892 to prac-
tice law. He also had an interest IN
a firm which sold investment secur-
tiles. Six years later Reformed a law
partnership with William McAdoo, a
member of congress, assistant secre-
tary of the navy and police commits,
sioner under Mayor Lowe. Despite the
similarity of names the two McAdoos
were not related.

A BLUE SATURDAY STRUCK
AMERICUS HARD YESTERDAY
usually Live Day of Week Was Very
Dull.

Il have been in business thirty years
in Americas, but this is the worst Sat
urday that / have ever witness here
in trades way" said a Forsyth street
merchant yesterday, as he. looked out
upon the deserted streets where the
rain poured down. The outlook was
anything than roseate and cheerful.
Not a score of farmers, all told,
yentured to make the trip to town,
and only urgent business brought the
few who were here. 1t was dull day
in the stores as well as without and
trade was at a standstill. Usually a
large crowd comes here from the SUI
rounding towns on Saturday, but yes
terday was an exception. The depots
were, for the most part, deserted, AMI
the trains carried light passenger lists
The average man evidently considered
home the best place on such a day,
and remained there.
Not bale of cotton found its way
to Americas and the five warehouses
here were, for the most part, deserted,
as were many other places of business
about the city.

MILLINERY IS
NEO-VICTORIAN
Depends on How and By
Whom Worn

The three outstanding features of
the early spring hat are that it is
small, simple and smart. In style it
COPIES the shape, but not the poise en-
tie head of Victorian headgear, and
hence it has acquired the name OF
'Neo-v Victorian.
A large assortment of the first mil
iinrIy messengers of spring from
PARIS show not single broad briE or
high crown among them
The new hats depend not on size TO:
their elegance, but on the winsome
way in which the straw encircles d
daintily dressed head of hair.
Nor are they overburdened with
trimming. A single satin or brocaded
band, finishing with a dropping bow
at the back, or tall ostrich feather
or osprey mount, also at the back IS
considered sufficient adornment. The
trimming is invariably at the back
this year, quite contrary to last
spring.
AS regards the angle at which the
"Neo-Victorian" hat is worn, it should
be tilted forward over the forehead,
without, however, hiding the eyes, ami
it dispenses entirely with the ban
deau which caused the Early victo-
rian lady's hat to stand off from her
head.
The Balkan war has influenced the
modes SO far as bright colors are
worked into the trimming ribbons. Ser
Wan and Bulgarian passementerie is
also used to brighten the sombre black
legal straw, but for the moment the
favorite trimming is the ruche of
semi-curled ostrich feather.
A handsome model seen yesterday
was of cream pedal straw, with a pur-
pie ostrich feather at the back and a
band of purple velvet. Another was
of soft Italian straw with Wedge
wood blue velvet ribbon round the
crown and finished off with an opu-

reach the wearers' waist.
A dark dlne-colored straw was
adorned with a wreath of tiny pink and
yellow rosebuds, which were made of
cork. Cranes feathers are another
novelty of the season in millinery
trimmings.
An interesting innovation is the
model with straw brim, the remainder
of the shape being swathed in velvet
or satin. An extremely attractive in
stance of this fashion was of dark
navy straw with crown of coffee-col-
ored velvet, whose folds fell in grace
full indefiniteness over the brim. Black
satin and black legal are frequently
combined in the same way

PROPERTY LOSS BY STORM

window lights were blown in. The
old walls that have stood the storms
of more than half a century proved
impregnable against the cyclone Fri
day morning. The damage to the no.
tel will likely not amount to more
than few hundred dollars.
On the rear of the 5-story building
belonging to J. A. Lewis and occu-
pied by the wholesale dry goods firm
of David Rothschild G. Co., is a large
tank that is high in the air. The
top was blown away, and it is not
known what became of it, as it was
swept entirely away. Wonder was ex-
pressed that the entire tank was not
blown away.
The storm passed out Thirteenth
street from Second avenue to Third
avenue, doing great damage to tele-
phone, telegraph and electric light
wires and poles, wrenching big two
story residences considerably, blow
ing chimney tops off and otherwise
doing damage.
Many Trees Blown Down.
Many handsome old trees that have
been standing for ages were uprool-
ed and became entangled with tele-
phone and telegraph wires, making {.
scene of wreckage that almost dis
heartened those who had to bring or
der out of chaos. Perhaps the dam.
age done on Third avenue between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth stree s
was greater than that of any other
portion of the residence section Of the
city.
On this avenue handsome tire -
were uprooted, and in some instanc IS
blown against the homes, doing con.
siderable damage Probably the worst
damage done to any residence on the
street was that to the Worsley home
in which the large columns to the
verandah were blown out of place
and the north wall of the building
badly damaged 1t is bulged out to
considerable extent and it will take
several hundred dollars to make the
repairs.
There are many handsome homes
on this avenue between Thirteenth
and Fourteenth streets, and so far as
could be told by persons who viewed
the scene Friday morning, not one OF
these handsome homes escaped the
fury of the cyclone entirely. Window
were blown out in some instances,
while chimney tops were blown off in
Others. Verandahs were wrenched,
and in fact the damages are of so
many characters that it would be a
nl"tter of impossibility to describe
