Notes BY a Washington Observer
Sims to Get Degree at Columbia - Lowden
Wants Only One Term Ambassador
Davis Lauded- Briefs Sent to Chicago

One of the countless convention
tales now making the rounds of
washington is that President will
son intends to command" the
Democratic convention at San
Francisco from the deck of the
Mayfiower." The Presidential yacht
is said to be making ready to lift
anchor In the Potomac on or about
June 3, for the purpose OF convey
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson and the
White House convention party to
the Pacific coast in time for the
opening of the Democratic conclaye
on June rs, Under ordinary condi-
tons the "Mayfiower" could reach
San Francisco by way of the Pam
mama Canal in about three weeks
after leaving Washington. The
story Is herewith repeated with all
reserve. 1t is being told in WASH
ington In all seriousness.

mony before the Senate subcommit-
tee at 1880 yesterday and about
an hour afterwards bIossomed forth

daughter of the late Governor
Bradley. who was Kentucky's first
Republican chief executive since
the civil war and later a United
States Senator. Mrs. South has
been pioneer among women poll
ticians in her native State, having
been active in the suffrage cam
paigns. She is a gifted speaker and
writer. Governor Morrow. one of
her fellow delegates-at-large, is a
kinsman of hers.
One OF the arguments likely to
be advanced in favor OF Governor
Frank o. l.owden at the Chicago
convention is that he is definitely
on record in favor OF a single Pres
idential term. At various times
during his term as member of
the House of Representatives he in

Presidentseon record who took Of
fice with the sole determination to
give an ideal administration and
not. from the start. with the
avowed intention of perpetuatins
himself for another four years.

West Virginia, sits for the district

Leads the West Virginia bar;

enough to gain the confidence of the
conservative: as wise as Franklin,
as courageous as jackson, as pure
in purpose, as Washington, and as
sincere and human as Lincoln: per-
sonality so brilliant and charming
that he is in a class by himself"
If Mr.. Neely is selected to pre-
sent Mr.. Davis's name at San Fran
cisco on behalf of West Virginia
he evidently has his peroration
ready.

week, he brought graphically to the

ago when he recalled that he came
TO Washington during the civil
war as secretary OF State of New
York State. Depew was conferring
with Lincoln on that occasion in
connection with the votes of the
100000 New York boys enrolled in
the Union army. Depew has lived
through more than half of the life
of the Republic.

WASHINGTON COLLEGE
MAY NOT OPEN IN FALL
ChestertOwn Institution, 1873 Years
Old, Near End Unless Help
Is Given,

BALTIMORE, July 15.-Washington
College. at Chestertown, established
In 1882, one Of the oldest educational
institutions in this part of the coun-
try, is in danger OF going on the
rocks, and unless help is given it the
college may not open for the next
term.
A committee Of Baltimore business
men. who have been appealed to by
committee of the board Of visitors and
governors to devise means Of keeping
the college going, will visit the insti-
tuition Saturday to inspect the college
plant and confer with the board.
The troubles of the college are not
altogether financial, although money
is now its most vital problem. The
institution is said to have been man
aged as a neighborhood affair. and its
board of visitors and governors has
resisted efforts to enlarge it's useful
ness II these efforts involved in any
way their control
Practically all the support of the
college is derived from the State, but
the State has no voice in its manage
ment. Provision was made in the last
budget for an appropriation for the
next scholastic year of $35 900. while
It costs about 100000 a year to run
the college. The appropriation avail
able for next year will leave the COL
lege with approximately $40, 900 less
than enough to provide for its opera
ting expenses. Besides this. the col
lege owes in the neighborhood Of $780,
600 as a result of having insufficient
revenues in the past, which amount Is
represented by notes held by the
banks Of Chestertown. In addition to
these obligations the college owes the
State $4,000 loaned to help in the re-
building of the main structure of the
college group which was burned some
years ago, and for which the State
holds a mortgage.

SEESPEAK Of
:. IMMIGRATION
Commissioner Camminettl De-
.clares Only Transportation
Lack Will Halt Influx.

Prediction that immigration to the
United States would exceed the high
water mark OF 1913 IL transportation
10 available was made today by An
thony Csmminetti. Commissioner OF
immigration OF the Department OF
Labor.
Camminetti stated that in his opin-
ion. the year 1920 will break all rec
ords for immigration. without CIV
ing ngures. he said the record to date
far exceeds that OF the banner year
1913 and that only lack OF transpor-
tation would prevent the steadily In
creasing Influx from foreign shores
'The immigration Bureau is sadly
in need OF assistance in handling the
newcomers" said Camminetti, but
look for no relief as Congress before
adjourning did not anticipate the
great rush and neglected TO give us
the appropriation necessary to take
care OF the situation"
The newcomers. according to the
Immigration Commissioner have
much larger percentage or women
and children than formerly. These
have been sent for by relatives and
will be Immediately taken care or
when they are released from the i'm
migration stations.
The physical quality of the men Of
the working class cannot be COM
pared with those arriving before the
war, Mr.. Camminetti said. Europe
lost between ten and twelve million
men. the very flower Of its population
during the war" he said.
These were either killed outright
or so MANNED or gassed that their
physical condition precludes their be-
coming desirable immigrants. Those
that were left and those growing into
maturity to a large extent lived under
war conditions OF undernourishment
that forbids their comparison with
! the healthy males forming the larger
part of the pre-war tide or imml-
grafton to our shores"
Camminetti added that II was his
belief that not for a decade or more
would the United States commence to
receive from Europe a working class
so physically fit as came prior TO
1914.
