INAUGURAL RULES
AT UNION STATION
Plan Adopted to Avert Conges.
ton Such as Prevailed in
Former Years.
BALTIMORE WOMEN IN LINE

From 1901 am. March 3 to II noon
March 5 an Admission on business
only policy will be in force at the
Union station. Only persons wishing
TO purchase railroad tickets or to take
trains will be permitted to enter the
building. This rule will apply to the
concourse and the general waiting
room. and the only portion of the build
ing which will be excepted will be the
ticket lobby. to the west of the waiting
room, where the ticket windows and
parcel room are located.
This plan has been decided upon
after conferences between the officials
of the committee on public comfort for
the inauguration and the station Off
cials. and is designed to eliminate the
congestion which has prevailed at the
Union station at former inaugurations.
The great numbers of persons who have
gathered there to meet friends and
relatives, the many runners" for ho-
Gels and boarding houses and the hun
dredS of idle SightseerS who have come
Just to see the crowds come in have
filled the station to such an extent that
persons arriving on trains were able
barely to fight their way out of the
building.

Baltimore Women to March.

Mrs. W. NJ. Stoner, member of the
Inaugural committee, notified Robert
n. Harper, its chairman, yesterday aft
ernoon that about $50 members of the
Wornen's Trade Union League of Balti-
more propose to take part in the in
augural parade. 1t is understood they
will wear street attire and all will
carry flags.
Work on the court of honor practically
will be finished by Wednesday, according
TO a statement made by Chairman Harper
last night. The work on the stands along
pennsylvania avenue is progressing rapid
~, ne said. and they will be completed
In ample time.
Work already has started on the build
Ing of the lesser courts of honor at the
intersection of Pennsylvania avenue and
AZ street. between eth and 9Th streets
and at the intersection OF 18th street
The pedestals which are to support the
pylons have been set in position and
some Of the columns have been erected
Great interest is being shown in these
lesser courts. as it is an entirely new
inaugural feature. They are designed
10 provide a decorative feature by day
and at night they will be ablaze with
lights.

Three Information Booths.

There will be two information booths
either side of the entrances into the
general waiting room. An information
booth also will occupy the center Of
the ticket lobby.
At the last inauguration great con-
fusion resulted at the Union station
when the crowds were arriving, and
particularly SO the night of March 4,
when thousands of persons rushed there
TO take trains leaving the city. The
crowd in the concourse was SO great
on that night that persons could not
get through to the gates in time to get
their trains. A large force of police
from other cities was on duty at the
station, but not being experienced in
handling inauguration crowds, they
were of little assistance. it is stated.
1t is believed that the plan which has
been adopted by the Union station Of
ficials and the committee on public COM
fort, of which A. Leftwich Sinclair is
chairman, will eliminate all crowding
The suggestion has been made that
plan be worked out whereby the COL
onnade at the front of the station be
utilized as a place where friends and
relatives could meet incomers with
little confusion. 1t is proposed to let
ter the columns. A person whose name
begins with the letter "a" for instance,
would be instructed to wait at the
column marked "A" and in this way
his friends would have no difficulty in
locating him. The Union station Of
fcials have this plan under advisement
and it is expected they will adopt it.

PRESBYTERIAN GENERAL
ASSEMBLY IN SESSION

DALLAS, Tex, May 22-At the Pres
byterian general assembly now in an
nual session here, prospects for re-
uIion of the northern and southern
branches, officially known as the Pres
byterian church in the United States of
America and the Presbyterian church
in the United States, respectively, are
regarded as uncertain.
Those openly favoring the amalga-
nation, however, said that not since
the two branches came to the parting
of the ways in 1861 had indications
for a reunion been as bright as at the
present meeting.
The northern branch of the church is
numerically the stronger, having on
its membership rolls approximately l.
100000 persons. The southern branch
has a membership of 100000.
The northern branch has members in
every state in the union, while the
southern is confined to churches south
of Mason and Dixons line.
The entire membership OF both
branches was known as "The Presby-
terrain Church in the United States OF

be nominated. He was an unsuccessful
candidate for moderator at the assem-.
