Of New York. at that time member of
Congress from New York it is asserted
by member of the battery, spent three
hours one evening trying to locate the
battery armory. He told the members
after he finally found it, that he had
asked a dozen policemen. but none of
them could direct him. When President
Taft visited the organization the made
quate facilities forced the commanding
officer to line his men up in the gun
room. instead of the assembly room
which was much too small to accommo-
date those who attended.
Capt. Voet is reported to be still on the
trail of cook and a bugler for his or
in the battery for men of trades. such as
carpenters, BARRIERS, etc. and any one
desiring to get one of these assignments
may obtain information by visiting the
Missouri avenue armory of the battery
any Friday night after 80 o'clock.
William H. Heck was enlisted as pri-
vate in the battery Friday night.

When the battery turned out to fire the
commodores salute at the unveiling of
the statue of Commodore John Barry in
Franklin Park so many men answered
roll call that it was impossible to accom-
modate them ALL either on the horses
field pieces or caissons. 1t was the in
tention to turn out the entire battery,
but at the eleventh hour notice was re-
ceived that only horses enough for one
platoon, or two guns and two caiSSons.
would be provided. A number of the
men. however, went afoot to the Monu-
ment grounds, where the battery maneu
vered during the entire day up until the
time of the firing of the salute.

Brunswick, Canada, has accepted a call
to fill the pastorate of the Anacostia Bap-
tist Church. and according to present ar
rangements he will assume his new duties
the first Sunday in June. The local church
has been without a permanent pastor
since the resignation of Rev. Frank l.
Bardens, more than year ago. Within
the past few months. however, this con-
gregation has largely increased its men,
bership. and the interest in the work has
been revived.
The men of the parish are at present
engaged in placing the property. which
is located at 18th and W streets. in
good condition. Some additions are being
made, principally one to the part of the
building. which will be used by the new
pastor as study.

Nate" Williams formerly sergeant
in the Signal Corps Company. and who
again enlisted when operations in
Mexico seemed imminent. conslstentiy
refuses to believe that mediation Will
accomplish much, and is taking every
means to fit himself for service in the
field. Last Sunday he hired a horse and
tied it in front of the Missouri avenue
armory while he went to get his saddle
for d practice ride.
Wide expanses of very green grass on
the Mall. off the port bow of the charger.
caused the animal to slip out of its
halter Sergt. Williams. staggering
under the weight of his saddle equip
ment. found the horse gone. He dashed
across the Mall. halter in hand, but.
no matter how he abused. coaxed or
feigned to ignore it, the horse would
kick his heels in the air and scamper
off every time he approached.
Finally, a policeman told him he must
take the animal off the grass, or 1t
would be taken in charge.
"If you can. you're a wonder" said
Williams. I'D like to. but 1 can't. Go
to it."
He then telephoned the stable and
squad of hostlers. after a merry chase,
lassoed the sprightly charger.
Williams will try to take his practice
ride today. but will not trust to a
stable halter to hold his mount.
Opposition to the display of the field
wireless sets carried by Signal Corps
organizations has been voiced by the
division of militia affairs in a bulletin
just issued. Although. when troops are
engaged in field maneuvers. persons are
allowed to inspect the set. and pictures
of the set are shown almost everywhere
the bulletin says that displaying the
army sets gives to the pubic informa-
ton that is confidential. This is what
the bulletin has to say on this subject:
1T has been brought to the attention
of this division that pack radio-tele-
graphic Instruments issued by the
United States to the Signal Corps Com
pany of the organized militia of a GER
tain state have been displayed in
company. This display is unauthorized.
and gives to the public information that
must be treated as confidential State
military authorities should take meas
ures to prevent information of a con-
fdential character being given to the
public.

Columbia ia making earnest preparations
to take its part in this great war game.
The local battery will play on the side
of the forces which are to attack the
city, and will turn against their orothers
in the infantry and Signal Corps. Ihe
basic idea of all of the plans now being
mapped out by Capt. Louis c. Vogt. COM
manding the battery, is to bring the Or
ganization up to it's highest standard be-
fore it leaves Washington.
While no definite arrangements for the
embarkation of the battery have yet
been made it is declared at the battery
armory that the organization will board
ship at Washington and will steam to
HAMPTON roads. However. whether or
not 1t will disembark there and march
overland to connect with the attacking
party or remain aboard for longer
voyage has not yet been determined. so
far as could be learned. At any rate.
Capt Vogt declared that he intends TO
have his men familiar with every detail
of embarking and disembarkine on both
ship and train before the maneuvers
take place
Just about the time scheduled for the
battery, together with the remainder OF
several miles north OF the District line
before the maneuvers begin the new
armory. which is to he occupied jointly
by the battery and Signal Corps COM
pany, will be finished. The information
now is. according to Capt. Oliver G.
Terry, commanding the Signal Corps. the
principal who obtained the construction
of the armory, that it will be ready for
occupancy August ! next. The new
armory is on l. street between 9th and
10th streets northwest, a central locality,
convenient to the car lines. 1t Is the
belief this armory will result in an in
crease in the enlistments both in the bat
terry and in the Signal Corps.
There has been much complaint of the
undesira bility of the location of the pres
ent armory on Missouri avenue between
~ and 9Th streets. Some time ago, it
is declared, when the battery gave a
smoker, several Of the speakers could
not find it. Former Gov. William Sulzer

OTHER WOMEN HEADED
MONDAY EVENING CLUB
Distinction Conferred on Mrs. Bick-
nell Unique Only Since It's
Reorganization.

Although distinction of being the first
woman president of the Monday Evening
Club since the reorganization of the club
about five years ago has been conferred
upon Mrs Ernest P. Bicknell. other wom-
an members have served at the head of
the society. it was pointed out today.
Among them was Mrs William Z. u.
Merwin. one of the early presidents
The club. which was organized in 1896
was originally made up of paid charity
workers. but a couple of years later the
constitution was amended SO as to al
low any person interested in charitable
or philanthropic work to become a mem
her.
It's Original Objects.
The objects of the organization were an
nounced to be 1.-The study and discussion
of subjects related to the work of its
members. the promotion of personal ac-
c,uaintance. and assistance in making the
fruits of the experience of each the COM
mon property of ALL
Up to 1905. when the custom of hold
ing meetings at the Y. NJ. c. A. building
was commenced. meetings were often
held at the homes of the various mem
bers. and. while Mrs. Merwin was pres
ident, meetings were usually held at her
nome.
About 1910 radical change took place
in the club and it's avowed object be-
came the coordination of efforts to OBJ
tain for the city of Washington the best
possible program of social service.
Increase of Membership.
The membership increased from about
100 to 600 or 100 members, which is the
numerical strength of the society at the
present time. |
During the past three or four years the |
programs of the club have covered a much !
broader field and members not only of |
philanthropic societies. but of churches !
trades unions and various other organi- |
cations interested in social service work |
have exchanged experiences and opinions |
ar the meetings while many of the speak |
ers have been men and women of both |
national and international reputation.
