THORNTON AND THE D. A r..
Love Feast Between Senator and La
dies Follows.

RiEhmonE, Va, Jan. 90. = The
T, threatened breach between a COM
mittee from Commonwealth Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. and Senator r. E. Thornton, OF
Fairfax. over the modus operanoi
of attaining the will Of Martha
Washington from J. Pierpont Morgan
will not materialize. A love feast be-
tween the comely ladies and the pos
ished senator was held yesterday,
and the Daughters of the American
Revolution not only admitted their err
ror but promised their unstinted CO.
operation with the senator.
The trouble arose over the drafting
of resolution by the Daughters Of
the American Revolution providing
that Mr.. Morgan be politely request
@! to return the will. The resolution
proyiSe1 for the administering OF
sugar coated pills and caJolery.
Commonwealth Chapter not ony
passed this resolution but wanted II
adopted in the legislature.
The ladies instructed a committee
to ask Senator Thornton to present
their sweet scented resolution to the
Senate in place of his bill calling fol
legal steps upon Mr.. Morgan's re
fusal to return the will. The com
mittee was further instructed to have
some other senator present the reso'
luton should Senator Thornton re
fuse to offer it in the senate.
Senator Thornton's Ts"tchsF was
aroused. He is always most cour'
teous and most gracious with the
ladies, but behind his grace there
was considerable determination nc
Immediately declined to offer the
resolution and then made certain
that no other senator IN the upper
house would offer it, thus splkine
the guns of the uniformed committee
of Daughters of the American Revo'
luton. Senator Thornton.s only
criticism of the ladies' resolution was
that it provided for steps which the
Official of Fairfax county took "a
nuSnber of years ago-that IS ca
iolery AMI honeyed speech. This
for moi persuasion having utterly
fai!el to move Mr. Morgan. Senator
Thornton and officials of Fairfax
county determined to take the colo:
legal action looking toward the res
roration of the will to the courthouse
where it forms part of the legal rec
ord.
The resolution seems to have beer
adopted by Commonwealth Chapter
under the misrepresentation that the
bamut of cajolery and sweet speech
had not already been run. When
they learned today that they had pro-
pose measures which hac been ex-
hausted, they lost no time In hurry
ing to Senator Thornton Iand en-
blaming that they did not know that
moral persuasion had failed to I'M
press Mr.. Morgan and that they ap-
provide heartily his bill providing
for more drastic steps and would
work most earnestly in cooperation
with the solon for the restoration OF
the priceless document.

PENNSY SAFEGUARDS
. PASSENGERS Health
While ON TRAINS

The Pennsylvania Railroad has
adopted practices in its Dining Car
and Restaurant Department that are
designed to make even more
elaborate the precautions already
taken to safeguard the public against
disease.
Some years ago the Pennsylvania
required every employe engaged i'm
the preparation or serving of food
10 undergo a physical examination
every 80 days. and anyone found TO
have even q tendency toward COM
municable disease was debarred from
Tic service Later the order was
given to examine these employees in
the dining cars and restaurants
there are over 900 of. thcm-every
forth that they must bo examined
al least once every 80 days.
Just as far reaching as the rule for
examining employees is the new regu-
lation governing the inspection OF
dining rooms, dining cars and kit
chens. The Railroads medical ex-
aminers, who are also officers Of the
State Board OF Health Of Pennsyl-
wanna, VIII act as inspectors. IL VIII

and restaurants from one end to the

Another innovation the dining car
and restaurant department has made
is the method of handling food at
