FAIR GUESTS VISIT
COMMERCIAL CLUB
Ladies' Day Is Occasion for
Celebrating End Of Stagdom
at New Home.

The spell OF "stagdom'' which has
hung over the new Commercial Club
house at 1854 L street northwest since
it was opened last fall, was broken
yesterday when the club house was
thrown open for the celebration Of
ladies' day."
Flowers, in profusion, decorated the
stairways and halls. A large assem-
blage of fair guests visited the re-
modelled home. and expressed enthus-
iastic admiration.
W. G. johnson, president of the club,
assisted by Mrs. Milton Z. Allies, Cuno
II. Rudolph, Mr.. and Mrs. George T.
Schutt, and E G. Graham. received the
400 or more guests. George W. Harris,
assisted by the board of governors of
the club and the house and entertain
ment committees. had charge OF the
entertainment.
The new clubhouse is one of the
finest in the city. 1t was opened last
fall, when the business men removed
from their former home at Il Madison
place. The house was built many years
ago for the late Col. Augustus Cleve-
land Tyler, and has long been the
scene of many gay entertainments. In
the vicinity are the Army and Navy,
the Metropolitan, and the University
clubs.

SENATOR SLIPS:
BECOMES CRITIC

When a Senator tine size of
John W. Weeks of Massachu-
sets sits down firmly on an
icy sidewalk, following an ir-
reSistable tendency of his
feet to tango, it is apt to
make a profound impression.
That happened, and, as a re-
suit, Senator Weeks thinks
that the method of ham
ding the ice and snow prob
lem in Washington is, to say
the least, provincial.
Meditating on this while he
lay in bed during the last few
days with strained side,
Senator Weeks has come to
the conclusion that the Dis
trict government has not
shown enough alacrity in re-
moving the traces of the re-
cent storm.

HOUSE BOARD IS FOR
H|NDUS' EXCLUSION
Congress Will Shut Out Men
From India, According to
Present indication.

Indications are that Congress is go.
ing to shut out Hindu immigration
The House immigration Committee has
been hearing arguments on the Church
bill before it this week. Congressman
Church Of California, author OF the
measure. appeared. and also Commits
sioner General Caminetti. While the
committee has given no formal deci
sion on the bill, it Is settled that it
will be favorabiy reported. Its sup.
and probably the Senate.
Congressman Church told the board
of his personal experiences with the
Hindus He sees prospects Of a great
flood Of Hindu immigration unless 1t is
absolutely shut out. He pointed out
that from the city of Stockton. Cal.
alone $4,000 in one month was sent
back to India It was sent. in large
part, to. enable other Hindus to come
to this country.
He believes that before long, unless
there is exclusion legislation, Hindus
will be coming to this country by tens
of thousands and the tide will reach
dangerous heights He urges that 1t
would not be difficult to exclude them
now. but that it will be, II the matter
Is allowed to drift.
Crowd Out Whites.
White labor, Mr.. Church says. stands
no chance by the side Of Hindu labor.
"when Hindus get into the labor
field" he observes. white labor finds
itself hunting for job
The proposed exclusion OF the Bindus
may not prove to be as easy as it looks.
The possibilities Of international COM
plications are by no means to be dis
regarded. Congress has not vet VEN
tured to enact a rigid Japanese exclu-
sion law.
here made 1t plain that il there were
exclusion legislation, the Hindus beisE
British subjects they would make things
extremely uncomfortable for British
rule In India unless Great Britain IN
sisted that the Hindus be given admis-
sion to the United States.
Night Be Compelled.
Great Britain is not in position, Of
course. to dictate Americas immigration
laws. Nevertheless, the discomfort in
India Is such that the British govern
ment might feel compelled to make rep
in order to. appease the
Hindus.
Another side of the matter is that
Il Congress shuts out the Hindus, the
demand from the Pacific coast for ex-
clusion Of all Asiatics will probably
grow.
This is what Pacific coast members
be halted by diplomatic considerations,
but 1t will not be for long. II they can
gain q point with reference to the Hin
dus they will doubtless feel the more
TO broaden their demands

SAYS COOPERATION
BOOSTS BUSINESS
Pennsylvania Congressman Tells
Shoe Retailers Day of Un-
afr Competition Is Past.

That cooperation among business
men is conducive TO success was
brought out by Congressman Kreider
OF Pennsylvania in an address last
night before the shoe section Of che
Retail Merchants Association.
Lack Of unity in business opera
tions among men devoted to the same
interests has gone by. and though
competition is as keen as ever, il is
conducted in a fair and honest way."
said the speaker. '-There are, how
ever. parasites and pirates in busi-
ness who drift in from nowhere, ad-
vertise false propositions. and prey
upon the public. They should be
driven out
The speaker urged the shoe men to CO.
operate for better business, and to keep
in touch with their associations Joseph
Strasbnrger, chairman of the shoe sec
ton, presided. A report was received
from Arthur Burt, Harry Hahn, and
others on the National Shoe Retailers
convention in New York city last

bert and William A. Brady will inaugur-
ate their entry into the motion picture

These films have been secured at enor-
nous financial outlay and only after the
sacrifice of human life. The pictures

who faced shot, shell and assassination
to record the story of the overthrow OF
Diaz, the murder Of Madero and the ex,.
cesses Of the dictator, Huerta-
An explanation will be given by Count
Lorenzo S. de Besa, for twenty-five

FIGHT FOR
| FREEDOM OF THAW
Habeas Corpus Writ and Bail
Question Heard in Court at
Concord.

| CONCORD, \. H.. Feb. 20-The fight
\ to prevent the return of Harry K.
Thaw. slayer Of Stanford White. to the
Matteawan Hospital for the Criminal
Insane, was renewed today when the
/ fugitive appeared before Justice Edgar
J. Aldrich, in the United States court
for the district Of New Hampshire.
The two important questiones con-
sidered were: Will the habeas corpus
petition. filed by Thaw several months
ago. be granted. and will the fugitive
be admitted to bail pending the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court upon certain points of law which
involve the constitutionality of the
New York statutes under which ThaW
was sent to Matteawan.
William Trayers Jerome, who has led
the New York State fight in the Thaw
case, contended that the bail question
should not be considered until the ma
~Thaw. accompanied by his white.
haired mother, Mary Copley Thaw, sat
directly behind the table at which his
array Of counsel was marshaled: Among
his attorneys were. former, Governor
Stone Of Pennsylvania. Merrill Shrrtleff,
and George Morris, Of Lancaster; Judge
William Chase; and % Matnanisi foncna5 =; MAJ
J. FRANKLIN Kennedy. assistant attorney
general of New York, was present as
Jerome's assistant.
The main arguments made have been
submitted in printed briefs: The f';gi,
tive's attorneys challenged the good
faith of New York in demanding extra
dition. on a conspiracy charge. They
argued that Thaw. having. been de,
clared insane, cannot legally be charged
with crime. and that for this reason his
escape from Matteawan does not make
him a fugitive from justice.
Jerome contended that New Hamp-
tive Of a sister State in demanding
extradition, and that the only course
open is to turn the fugitive over to
New York State. pending decision in the
United States Supreme Court.

APOLOGY MEANS MUCH
WRITER CALLS IT HANDSoMEeT
THING IN THE WORLD
Calls for Generosity In Man or Woman
Willing to Admit They We're In
the Wrong-Means q Sense
Of Justice. "'

An apology is the handsomest thing
IN the woodland the manifest And
the womanliest.
l have often heard men say they
never apologize. Sometimes I have
heard women. Pitiful, indeed, It be-
comes to them. A woman without
religion is no more repulsive to me
than one who never apologies"
An apology requires native humil-
ity of which only great souls are
capable. 1t requires generosity to be
willing to humble yourself 1t takes
faith in humanity to think your Apol-
ogy will be accepted. You must have
sense of justice to believe that you
owe It.
There is only one thing meaner than
q person who never apologies, and
that is a person who will not accept
one.
From the standpoint of observation
and inexperience, | should say that
the supremest lack of men as lovers 10
the inability to say, Il am sorry, dear;
forgive me-" And to keep on saying
1t until the hurt is entirely gone. You
gave her deep wound. Be manly
enough to stay by it until it has
healed. Men will go to any trouble,
any expense, any personal inconVen-
fence. to heal it without the simple
use of those simple words.
A man thinks if woman begins TO
smile again after a hurt, for which
he has not yet apologized, has COM
menced to grow dull. that the worst
is over and that, II he keeps away
from the dangerous subject. he has
done his duty. Besides, hasn't he Civ
en- her a piano to pay for it? But
that same man would call another
man brute who insisted upon healing
up finger with the splinter still in
it, so that an accidental pressure
would always cause pain.
/ honestly believe that the simple
phrase, Il am sorry, dear; forgive
me-" has done more to hold brothers
to the home, to endear sisters to each
other, to comfort mothers and fathers,
to tie friends together, to placate low
ers; that more marriages have taken
place because of them and more have
held together on account of them; that
more love of all kinds has been engen-
dered by them than by any othOr
words in the English language.-FrOm
