However, he'll find time to take tea
with the Assistant Secretary of the

will start for Havana, wherc he'll

They played an important role at the

A new page In history will be turn
ed by the Jackson Day dinner to be
given on Thursday night at the New

with the committeeman the honor OF

And they will also share the oppor-
tunity OF looking over the possible

include Cabinet members, members OF

arrive today and tomorrow for con

One Of the interesting features OF
this historic meeting will be the Of
ficial status of more than one woman
whose father or husband hitherto has
been the prominent person in the
councils Of Democracy. For instance,
Mrs. j. Frazer Bonnie. the associate
committee woman of Kentucky. is

Year parties.
The Daniels had quite the largest
and most brilliant OF all the reccp-
tions and to add to the success or
the party there was dancing for the
young people In the big room atop
the house-Mrs. Daniels says "ball-
room" is quite too pretentious a name
for this apartment. and suggests the
"sail loft" or the fighting top
but no. that wouldn't do either. At
any rate. it's a very jolly room. with
it's fiag-hung walls, and on Thursday
1t was crowded with laughing girls
and good looking young men In the
naval uniform.
This New Year was the first time
the Lansings have been hosts at a
diplomatic breakfast-to go back a
bit For Mr.. Lansing did not become
Secretary OF State until the war was
well on and diplomatic functions were
not functioning with anything like
their old time routine smoothness.
One missed on this occasion the Soc
retary of State and Mrs. william
Phillips. They had left Washington
on Wednesday and sailed yesterday
for London. probably to be gone five
or six weeks.
They have been called over by
word that Mrs. Phillips mother. Mis-.
George Ogilvy Haig. is incurably I'll.
and are returning rather sadly to
the house from which they were
married in February. 1910 At that
time Mr.. Philips was secretary of
embassy in London. He had expected
to come back to America to claim his
bride. The wedding was set for
January II in st. Bartholomew ]
Church in New York. Mrs. Phillips
was Miss Caroline Astor Drayton
daughter or J. Coleman Drayton. OF a
well-known Philadelphia family; and
her mother, now Mrs. Haig. was origi
nally Miss Charlotte Augusta Astor
an elder sister of the late John Jacob
Astor and Mrs. Orme Wilson,
But just about then Ogden Mills
Ambassador Whitelaw Reid's father
in-law, died in New York and Mr..
Reid had to come home. Mr.. Phillips
could not under the circumstances
leave England so the wedding was
transferred to London. The prospec-
tive bride Joined her mother there
and was married from her house IN
Brook street. !T-'-
1t is. of course, uncertain just wher
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips will be able to
return. Meanwhile the children re-
main at Beverly, Mass, with Mr. Phil
lips family to watch over them. AS
a matter OF fact, they have been at
Beverly since last June, when Wood

expenses of the ball, and Harry
WardmAn were hosts-s party which
will be treasured long In childish
memories. The Columbia Hospital
party was smaller. more like pri-

people a tremendous success for there

good supper. and the moor wasn't too

diplomatic breakfast given by the
Bryans to one of the last of these
parties at which Secretary and Mrs.
Knox were hosts. This one was given
at the Pan-American Union, a perfect
place in which to entertain: and after
the breakfast. to which the chiefs Of
missions, with the ladies Of their

Next to the New Year festivities,
society's interest centered last week
in the balls, the buds and the brides.
The balls were two, the ball for the
benefit of the police fund, on Monday
night and the Columbia Hospital ball
on Thursday. The first, given at
Wardman Park Hotel, was a bit Of a
mob, but leavened with notabilities.
Moreover 1t was a jolly, friendly
crowd which enjoyed itself hugely.
And II netted over $4,000 for the
fund-probably the largest sum ever
raised in Washington at a single
function. And then there was the

catch its breath after the holiday

it's usual midwinter activities-the
succession OF official dinners. in the
course of which everybody entertains

said from the President and Mrs.
Wilson down" The White House
usually gives four or five state din

Million to Friend Too
Much for Mrs. Spang
Witness Tells of Woman Veto
ing Early Will That Devised
All Personal Property

State Senator Charles 4. LOCKWOOD,
Of Brooklyn, continuing his testimony
before Surrogate Cohalan and jury
yesterday at the trial of the contest
over the will of Mrs. Rosa E. Spang
who left 100000 to found home for
children, told of prior will which
Mrs. Spang made in 1916 in which she
bequeathed all her personal property
to Molie Moore, friend.
The witness said he pointed out to
the testatrix that since she had elected
under the laws of Pennsylvania to take
half Of ,he estate Of her husband,
Of Pittsburgh, Miss Moore would re-
ceive more than $1000,O00 if Mrs.
Spang should die with that will in ex-
istence. "My God, don't want that!"
exclaimed Mrs. Spang, according to the
witness.
The Senator added that on the day
Mr.. Spang vas buried in Pittsburgh
his widow made her decision as to what
portion Of the estate she would take.
He quoted Mrs. Spang as saying, II
want to get the money in my hands,
right in my own hands"
Mrs. Spang's will is being contested
by her daughter, Mrs. Mabel Spang
Ancker, who by the terms of the docu-
ment receives an annuity Of $4,000.

St. Louis Church Organists
May Strike for More Paw
Threaten Walk-Out on Nav /
Unless Average Salary of $40
Month Is Increased
Special CorresDor<y.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 27.-Church orpan.
lsts, members of the Missouri Chanter
American Guild of Organists. at a
meeting to day suggested that immedi.
ate steps be taken to bring about a
strike on May unless local church
congregations take some action toward
increasing salaries.
Inc protest is at present confined
70 organlsts in The Protestant
churches; but it is expected that organ
lists in the Catholic churches and the
motion picture theatres will lend as-
slstance to the movement.
STRIKE proposals were offered bv
an exodus Of high-class professionals
from the city had already begun be-
cause of the opportunity for greater
remuneration elsewhere.
The average salary of St. Lou,s
church organists is $40 a month. said
William John Hall, vocal teacher and
organist. Only three st. Louis organ
lists receive 81, 200 year or more.
Ernest r. Kroegcr. composer. de-
clared that St. Louis congregations are
not unapprcciative of good organ
music, but are inclined to regard or
gnnists as being on the same plane
with tho church janitors. AS a result,
he said. the motion picture theaters
are gradually acquiring the best talent.
