HEARING ON CHANGE
OF INAUGURAL DATE
Civic Bodies of Washington
Likely to Have Opportunity
to Give Views.

Representative citizens of Washington
VIII have an opportunity Of explaining
to a committee of Congress the ad-
Visibility Of changing the inaugural date,
If the efforts of Representative Frank
.. Smith Of Maryland are successful.
Representative Smith. author Of one of
the most recent bills looking toward an
inaugural date change. said today that
he intends to ask for hearing for
members of the Chamber of Commerce,
the Board of Trade and other organiza-
tons before the House committee on
election of the President, Vice Presi-
dent and representatives In Congress.
The chairman Of this committee, Repre-
sentative Rucker of Missouri has been
urged by Representative Henry of Texas,
q strong advocate of change of the
inaugural date. to grant the hearing, and
Mr.. Henry has also suggested that the
bill be reported.
Henry Resolution Grows in Favor.
In the meantime, Representative Hen
rvs own resolution proposing a complete
change by means of a constitutional
amendment is growing in favor This
resolution provides that, beginning with
the SiNty-third Congress, the term of
office for the President and Vice Presi-
dent shall continue until the last Thurs
day IN April, 1917, and that the last
Thursday in April shall thereafter be the
termination Of an Administrations term.
The Henry resolution also provides that
the second Tuesday of January at noon
shall constitute the commencement and
termination of the official term of sena-
tors and representatives. The resolution
has many friends, and if some action
could be taken to get it started on it's
way ii might pass at this session. Many
of the House leaders are in favor of it,
and there is little objection to it, as far
as can be learned.
The bill introduced March 3, 1914, by
Representative Smith of Mary land. and
which brings the subject of an inaugural
date change to the minds Of congressman
again, simply provides that :, committee
be appointed to make a thorough study
Of the question whether change in the
date Is desirable.
Representative Smith himself answers
the question to his own satisfaction by
saying that q change IS highly desirable.
This bill was referred to the rules COM
mittee, of which Mr.. Henry is chair
man.
Favorable Report Urged.
Mr. Henry said this morning:
'"The bill will probably be referred
again to the committee on the election
of President, Vice President and rep
resentatives, and l have urged its IA
vorable report.
The question of advisabiifty has been
settled once at least by hearings before
the rules committee, but nothing has
been done about it. MIR. Henry today

tHat the danger spot in the countrys
business is the weakness among the
railroads: their constantly increasing
expenditures and their falling off in re-

Gen. Villa Leaves Suddenly
for San Pedro to Direct the
Capture of Fleeing Enemy

JCAREZ, Mexico. April 4.-The opinion
that Gen. Villa intends to take every ad-
vantage of the defeat of the federals at
Torreon was expressed here today. 1t
was based on the intelligence officially
announced last night that Villa had left
suddenly for San Pedro to take personal
charge of rebel troops reported to have
participated in an encounter yesterday
with the federals fleeing from Torreon.
The departure of Villa from Torreon
prevented the promised telegraphic con-
ference with Gen. Carranza.
This information was given out off,
ciallv last night and it was added that
tile rebels were attempting an envelop-
ing movement.

Charred Bones in Hotel Ruins.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, April 4IThe
finding of mass of charred bones last
night in the ruins of the Florida
House has started the rumor today
that from three to six persons were
burned to death in the destruction of

AS the registers of all the hotels were
burned there is no way to check up the
persons residing in them.
EARLY this morning several additional
gangs of laborers were started to work
making a more thorough search of the
ruins to make sure whether others
have perished. The charred remains
were found directly beneath the room
