PRESIDENT GRATIFIED
AT LOYAL SUPPORT
Letter From Speaker Clark and
Others Seems to Assure Legis-
lation in Near Future,

The rallying of House democrats to
President Wilson's plan to dispose of the
trust program before Congress adiourns
was manifested today in letter present
ed to him signed by Speaker Clark and
other democratic members of the Mis-
souri, delegation. The President. re-
sponded in an important letter. which was
made public. The letter of the Mis-
souri, representatives was handed to the
President by Representatives Rucker,
Alexander and Russell.
The significance of the correspondence
is in the fact that 1t has been represent
ed that Representative Underwood was
in position. through his strong hold upon
the House. possibly to choke off trust
legislation. If it begins to look as if
adjournment will be delayed. owing to
the desire of members of the House
to get back to their districts. The letter
from the Missourians was considered to-
day as settling the question of trust
legislation and assuring beyond question
that the democrats of the House will
consent to remain here to the last in
backing up the President

Expresses Qualification.
The President expressed his gratifica-
tion at the generous action of the Mis-
the following answer. which he for
had called upon him:
The paper you were kind enough to
send me through Judge Rucker, Judge
Alexander and Mr.. Russell has not only
given me deep qualification. but 1t has
elected my warm and genuine admira-
tion. It is in keeping with the spirit
you have shown in public affairs. Moth
ing has been more gratifying to me
during the arduous sessions of the
present Congress than the generous and
support which you have
given me.
THE paper which you sent is of the
sort that makes man carrying the
responsibilities of public life very proud
and very grateful. and is in line with
your whole conduct during the months
that have passee.

Clubwomen as Hostesses.

AS a means to this end the leading
clubwomens are. to act in turn as host
esses. serving the simplest kind of re-
freshments. and holding an open forum
where matters of concern to women will
be discussed by able speakers and by the
women themselves. SO that all may know
what the women of the District stand
for. and have united effort to win what
they desire in the way of municipal se
forms.
These are the general lines on which
the clubwomen of the District, VINO num-
Der 1000 in the federation and about
5000 more who have not vet been en-
rolled in the federation, will work. &C
cording to Mrs Ellis Logan, president
of the District Federation, who returned
late last night from the biennial conven-
ton in Chicago Mrs. Logan proposes
to start the campaign by holding an
open at home very soon, and says she
herself will conduct such a gathering of
women every month.
Mrs. Logan says that the biennial con-
vention was one of the most impressive
and encouraging ever held. but" she ad-
ded, wien I returned here to our Union
station realized how much more heatIti-
full and wholesome is our own, city and
how many more advantages we have
here than our sister club-Uomen have in
their communities.
We are going to have some Of the
most prominent clubwomen in the coun-
try. here in Washington within week
and some Of them will be here to partici-
pate in the demonstration Tuesday when
members Of the District Federation lead
a march to the White House. I am
greatly interested in this effort to show
the democratic administration that 1t
| should further the suffrage cause. be-
cause it represents the demands Of mil
lions of the leading women of the coun-
try. Among those who will be here to
support our appeal are DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, Miss Jane Adams and Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait.
..The two biggest accomplishments for
women of this country in recent years
were the enthusiastic Endorsement of
womans suffrage and the w. c. 7. L.
campaign at the biennial convention in
Chicago. There were 400 delegates to
the convention and millions of club
vast auditorium at all sessions.
THE women neglected nothing that
could add to the impressiveness Of their
convention In the matter of dress we
outclassed any gathering that ever met
in Chicago BY actual count there were
900 trunks with the big biennial seal
handled at the Union station. The social
entertainments were superb. l attended
all of them and was greatly impressed
with the graciousness and the earnestness
of the representative women of the coun-
try. That convention convinced me as
never before that the fads, foibles and
freak STYLES Of the day will soon be
passed over and the real sensible women
of the country will assert their modesty
and womanliness as they always have.

Some In Conference Think President

New York-The New York confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church Saturday tabled, after a warm
debate, a resolution requesting the
president Of the United States to dis
continue the custom of attending
Thanksgiving mass at the Roman
Catholic cathedral in Washington.
The motion to table it was carried by
a vote of IS to q.
1t was the opinion of those who sup
ported the resolution that President
Wilson was inconsistent in issuing a
proclamation urging people of the
United States to assemble at their
own churches at Thanksgiving day
and then attending himself a church
to which he did not belong.
The resolution was opposed chiefly
by DR.. P. M. Waters and George e.
Hickman. The latter protested that
President Wilson's attendance at the
cathedral was merely traditional
practice.

NEW FOUNDLAND.
FIERCE BLIZZARD RACED MANY DAYS
Survivors of Another Ship Arrive at
st. Johns, N. F., Tell Of Terrible
Hardships-Over 1000 Women
and Children Made Destitute.

st. Johns, N. F.-Monday the sealing
steamer Southern Cross, missing since
last weeks blizzard, was officially
posted as lost with her 173 men.
Hope for the safety of the steamer
and its crew was abandoned Sunday
when the stricken survivors of the
sealer New Foundland told their sto-
ries of the disaster that cost the lives
of a of their comrades.
The colony, plunged into mourning
by the greatest tragedy in it's history,
waited in vain hoping that the WIRE
less search might bring some word
from the missing vessel whose loss de-
prives whole settlements of their
breadwinners and rendered more than
1000 women and children dependent
upon charity.
Hope Abandoned.
First hopes based on the stoutness
of the ship faded when survivors of
the New Foundland told of the two
days blizzard and the condition in
which 1t caught the Southern Cross.
In every church the disaster was the
theme of the sermons. Messages OF
sympathy from the king and from the
Canadian premier were read.
Heartrending Scenes.
Attendants at the Grenfell institute
which was turned into morgue, said
that the scenes accompanying the
Identification Of the bodies were al
most beyond endurance.
One woman found two bodies clasped
so tightly in death that they could not
be separated. They were her husband
and son. The lad was wrapped in his
fathers arms as If the man had beer
trying to shield him from the pitiless
cold.
A gray-haired mother, supported BY
her two daughters, passed down the
long rows looking for her sons. At
tention was suddenly drawn to then
when the woman fell to the floor in 6
faint. They had found not only the
four sons and brothers, but two cous
ms among the dead.
OF the 80 survivors in the hospita
none is expected to die, but the ma
jority will never be fit for active serv
ice again.
