 It was dark before the last of the speakers were through and after those present had called for Commissioner Barber to speak they did him the signal honor of walking out in the midst of his remarks. However. this did not de- ter MT. Barber from explaining his posi- tion at length, but he absolutely ignored the taunt "that he was a socialist
 As for the question of Sunday nov ing pictures it is now settled as far as the present commission Is concerned, However it was intimated yesterday that the efforts of the protestants would now be directed towards electing men on next Monday who would be opposed to the ''movies.Y
 E. F. Morgan, who states that he is chairman of all the meetings that have resulted in protest against Sunday moving pictures, telephoned reporter of The Age-Herald last night that he had just begun to fight"
 "This is only a breeze" said Mr. Morgan ''the real storm will break soon We are not going to quit until the Sunday moving pictures are put out of business.
 ''I also desire to correct an erroneous impression.

DOKEY CEREMONIAL
 ID BE HELD FRIDAY
Class of 9 Tyros Will Be Initiated Into Mysteries
 of Order

On Friday evening, December B. the fall ceremonial of Aladdin temple No. 153, Dramatic Order Knights of Khorassan, will be held at Fraternal hall, when a class of 25 ''tyros' will be initiated into the order. Elaborate preparations are be- ing made for the big event and a big time is assured. The "Dokeys," as the order is more familiarity known, is com posed of members of the Order of Knights of Pythias, and is very popular in this district, numbering among it's member ship many of the most prominent Pyth- ians of the state
 The following decree has been issued by D. J. Davis, royal vizier:
 All Hail Most Faithful Arabs: Know ye now, that I have decreed that a ceremonial session of Aladdin temple No. 15S will be held on Skiddo day of Dukl HajJa, 1888, which if translated into per- iectiy neutral language will be Decem- Der 8. 1915
 The ceremonial will be instituted promptly at p. m. in Fraternal hall, at which time and place your august pres ence IS most earnestly desired. No votary should neglect such a grand opportunity of inducing some good Pythian friend to be initiated, and we would respectfully request each votary to exert every effort to bring along as many tyres as possible
 This ceremonial is aimed to please all; II 1t does not strike on the right spot dcn't kick; but be present and have a smile, though grief tugs at your heart strings.
 Don't let it slip from your nogfe to bring tyro and his 15 bucks ($15). Wear your fez. Bear in mind that your card must read 1915 and shield us from all harm and finally permit us to 'su-live until the next ceremonial That's what I said, David J. Davis. royal vizier; Gene Reed, secretary"

Men and women high in the politica and social life of Washington have given their names to the honorary committee on arrangements for the great forty seventh annual convention of the Ma tional American Woman's Suffrage as- sociation, which Is to be held in Wash ington December 14-19.
 Prominent among them are severa ladies of President Wilson's cabinet Mrs Lindley NJ Garrison, wife of the Secre- tary of War: Mrs. David S. Houston. wife of the Secretary of Agriculture Mrs Franklin K. Lane, wife of the Secretary of the Interior; Mrs. Albert S. Burleson wife of the Postmaster General, are among those who have expressed their willingness to stand behind the great gathering of suffragists Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the distinguished nov elist, is chairman of the arrangements committee, and some of the others who are assisting are: Mrs. Robert NJ. La Toilette, Mrs. Reed Shoot, Miss Julia Lathrop, Mrs. Philander Claxton, Justice Stanton H. Peele and long list of equal ly well-known personages.
 The convention will probably include 1000 delegates from every state in the union, for the national association has af- hliated with 1t 64 branches, one of them being located as far away as Hawaii. Dr. Anna Shaw will preside, perhaps for the last time, as she has announced that she will not stand for reelection to the pres- idency. I o be under the guidance of such women as Anna Shaw, Jane Addams, Katherine Bement Davis and Carrie Chapman Catt is a privilege in itself, and when this inspiration is further stimu- lated by a real interest in the methods and policies of the national association, the pleasure and benefit derived are greatly augmented.

 Chairman Kitchin said tonight he expected to finish the committee se- lections by Friday.
 Whether the six progressive repre- sentatives will choose a leader and at- tempt to operate as a distinct party this year is doubtful. As yet they have held no caucus and have made no ar engagement for one. The two progress sives who are here--Stephens of Cali fornia and Martin of Louisiana-said today their plans were uncertain.
 Representative Martin has written to the ways and means committee re- garding committee assignments, but has had noereply. It is probable that committee places for the. progressives will be discussed by the majority and minority leaders later in the week,
 Speaker Clark will reach Washing ton tomorrow.
