SHEET OF "FLTMSY"
FOR EACH INQUIRER
Correspondent. Swathed in Bandages,
Prepared for Questioning by
His Colleagues.

A member OF the corps Of Washington
correspondents arrived in the Senate
Press Gallery yesterday. his head swath-
ed in a bandage. which gave him the
appearance OF a major general in the
sink army. Even his brow was bandaged
and the rolls Of cotton ribbon and alb
sorbent cotton reached we'll below the
ears. His plight created a sensation
among his colleagues and each arriving
newspaperman asked the sufferer 10 tell
him about the accident. The sufferer
was prepared, however. He had pre-
pared more than 100 sheets OF yellow
'fiimsy." This was the notice contain
ed therein:
"A wen was removed from my head
yesterday. No 1t didn't hurt-much. No,
1t is not serious. 1t was three-quarters

Differences ON GAME
ARE NOT YET SETTLED
Col. Townsley. Head of West Point.
Says All Reports to that Effect
Are Unauthorized.
JOINT PROPOSAL NOT ACCEPTED

Rumors TO the effect that the West
Point and Annapolis athletic authorities
had settled their differences over the
site OF the annual football game between
the two academy teams, and agreed for
two games at Philadelphia and one at
New York in the next three years. had
their quietus last night with the receipt
of a telegram by Secretary Garrison from
Col. Townsley. superintendent Of West
Point advising him that all reports to
that effect were unauthorized.
Until the receipt OF this telegram naval
officers interested in the athletics Of An
napolis were under the belief that q
proposed arrangement would go through
| and that the controversy would be set
tied for a time at least. This belief
arose from informal action taken by the
athletic officers Of West Point and An
napolis. from which the impression re-
suited that agreement could be had on
the program of a game at Philadelphia
this fall one at New York next year. and
a third at Philadelphia in 1916. On the
strength OF this impression. Secretary OF
| the Navy Daniels today arranged for a
conference with Lieut. Fairfield, in
charge Of athletics at Annapolis.
The telegram from Col. Townsley, how
ever, dispelled these hopes by showing
| that whatever action the cadet managers
had taken was unauthorized. His mes
sage to Secretary Garrison was as fol-
| lows:
ANY propositions relative TO Army and
Navy game differing from that made By
you and the Secretary OF the Navy
that may come before you from any
source whatever are without my APPROX
al. The Military Academy and athletic
council regard that proposition as the
most just and fair yet made and stand
by IL Internationally. This telegram is
sent because of newspaper and other re-
ports. have also informed the su-
perintendent OF the Naval Academy"
The joint proposition made by Secreta-
ries Garrison and Daniels. to which Col.
Townsley refers, was that the two acad-
emIes make an agreement for a ten
year terra, the substance OF which was
that the academies should alternate
each year in choosing the site Of the
football game, the Navy TO choose this
year, no city north Of New York nor
south of Washington to be selected by
either Following the rejection OF this
proposal by the Naval Academy, the
West Point athletic council went to Mr..
Garrison and informed him that the
controversy having now gone on for a
long period. in spite OF the earnest ef-
forts OF the Military Academy athletic
officers to effect an adjustment, they felt
Il their duty to do nothing to prolong
the pickering. and. therefore, asked the
Secretary OF War to take the matter out
of their hands. Consequently, any agree
ment made now will have to be made
through Secretary Garrison, the West
Pointers refusing longer TO be a party
to the disputing.

sided and Europe will. be inviting for
tourists.
Naturally. therefore, the tourist class
viii have to turn to the United States.
The National Capital Is the central
place OF interest. I heartily approve the
plan"
Heartily Approves Plan.
Thomas Grant, secretary OF the Cham
ber Of Commerce. and the joint conven-
tions finance committee, approved heart
lily Of the plan.
TT can be worked out beyond doubt.
There Is lots OF room for publicity Of q
good sort. and think the present plan
Is the most practical suggested by any
one. as II calls for certain results without
undue expenditure. II business men VIII
stand behind the idea there Is no reason
that Washington finally may not be
made a synonym for travel"
A plan which Is sure to give Washing
ton valuable advertising as a tourist re-
sort was published yesterday in a state
ment authorized by Adoiph c. Miller.
Of the Federal Reserve Board, chairman
OF the government exhibit board which
has charge Of the federal exhibits at
the Panama-PacIhc Exposition.
Moving pictures are to be shown OF
every sort Of activity in Washington.
Members OF Congress will be shown IN

signing at the State Department, OF
Mount Vernon, Arlington Cemetery,
army posts. Cabinet officers, and OF all
public buildings. Nearly all government
departments will have exhibits.
A slogan OF the joint convention finance
committee. which was used yesterday In
speaking OF the plan, is:

NLREADY we are beginning to plan
~ for grand opera. Everyone you
meet in the millinery shops is
asking:
Have you bought your hats Cor
opera matineesP
And you see them at the silk couo-
ters examining satins, chiffons and
all the pretty new things for evening
gowns. Laces are brought to lay be-
side the materials, and we think of
nothing else these days but how our
clothes shall be fashioned as best to
suit our needs and looks.
This is social occasion not eoualed
at any other time of the year. From
all parts of the country come friends
10 visit during the festival week. 1t
rivals the Mardi Gras in New Or
leans, and hostesses begin early in
the year thinking of what they will
do for their guests this season. OF
course, we are kept busy simply going
10 opera. But there are some who
want TO be more than busy. They
want to be going somewhere every
minute, and for these there have been
arranged two dinner dances on the
evenings there are no operas-one at
the Capital City Club on Thursday
and one at the Piedmont Driving Club
Tuesday evening. Colonel and Mrs.
w. L. Peel will have a breakfast for
the opera stars on Wednesday, and
f~iday they will give Otto Kahn a
reception.
or course, there will he supper par
ties at the clubs following each of the
evening performances, and the whole
of Atlanta will be dining and supping
and opera going for one whole week.
Numbers f people who do not live in
Atlanta have engaged boxes and par
quet seats for the entire week l hear
that there will be at least so from
