DENIES Washington
LACKS CIVIC PRIDE
H. B. r. MaCfarland Addresses
0IdeSl a-.tants-PoTt
of T. W. Noyes Presented.

Proelaiming that citizens OF Wash.
inkton are highly endowed with civic
spirit, II. b. #. Macfarland, former
Commissioner. told the Association OF
Oldest Inhabitants at Rauscher's yes
terday afternoon that those who
charge Capital people with lacking
pride in their city are ignorant Of
conditions.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of presenting the association
with portrait Of its president, Theo-
dore w. Noyes.
I'VE OF Washington sre sometimes
charged with lack OF public spirit and
civic PRIDE" said Mr.. Macfarland. "The
unique conditions of the National
Capital are said to be unfavorable to
civic patriotism, but these statements
are made by those who do not know
the facts. Many of them are strang-
ers to the life Of the city, even though
they may be resident here"
Mr.. Mcfarland accused this class
with taking no part in civic work
themselves and not knowing what Is
done by others. The national citi-
zenship" of residents Of Washington,
he said, is favorable, rather than
otherwise. to strong civic patriotism.
Mr.. Noyes urged citizens to rally to
oppose any change In the present
form of government. His address
was in response to talk by Chaplin
Brown, who eulogized the work Mr..
Noyes has done in behalf of Wash
ington.
The portrait of the associations
president was painted by r. N. Brook.
The acceptance for the association
was made by Vice President Henry l..
Bryan. At the conclusion of the pro-
gram the gathering sang AUD Lang

At a short business meeting preced-
ing the presentation the following
were admitted to membership: Alfred
c. Parker, ]. F. Hood, Henry b. Ben
nett, George N. Acker, and Joseph j.

GRAVELY
AWAITING REPORTS

Worry Over Sinking Of the
Persia.

HOT SPRINGS. Jan. 2.-There was
every evidence about Hot Springs to-
day that the President Is gravely con-
cerned over the sinking of the liner
Persia.
Notwithstanding this. however, the
President in accordance with his
scruDles7 regarding Sunday is doing no
work on the international situation,
and IL apparently letting the newest in
cident rest until tomorrow.
The hOneymooners spent a quiet day,
and this afternoon went for an automo-
bile ride through the mountains.
Visitors at the springs, as well as this
natives, believe that yesterdays recep-
ton will result in the wearing Off Of the
habltual reserve that has characterized
the couple. 1t Is expected that in tho
future they will leave and enter the
hote! by the ordinary exits and en-
frances, instead OF by the private ones
heretofore used. There is every indi-
cation that the Presidential couple made
tremendous hit yesterday with the

Year reception.

Guards at State House
After Bomb Discovery

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 2-Guards have
been stationed at every entrance to the
State house and a searching investiga-
ton was in progress following the dis
covery of a dynamite bomb powerful
enough to have killed many persons and
destroyed a large section OF the capitol.
Only the failure Of the fuse, to burn
prevented an explosion.
The bomb was discovered yesterday by
a woman clerk. At first 1t was thought
TO be merely a hoax. When Deputy
Chief Neal of the state police and
State Chemist Wedger lighted the fuse
in a Brighton quarry there was q flash
and a roar and a huge hole blown in
the bed of the quarry.
No motive for the attempted bomb
plot has been found. No threateninI
letters have been received.
