SUGGESTS CHANGE IN
INAUGURATION DATE
Committee Of Lawyers Says the
Period Between Election and
Taking Office is Too Long.
By Associated Press to Every Evening

By Associated Press to Every Evening
st. Louis, Aug. 3O.-The long period
between. the election of the President of
the United States and his Inauguration
is "a serious evil fraught with much
danger" according to the report Of the
Special Committee on the Change in
Date of the Presidential Inauguration,
presented last week to the convention of
American Bar Association, in session here.
The report recommends that the period
be shortened, and that the short term Of
the old Congress be eliminated. II, how
ever, does not suggest any other date for
the Inauguration, explaining that March
has been recognized by constitutional
amendment as the date of inaugural. 1t
adds
"The committee, however, is Of the
opinion that it is tho duty of this asso-
ciation representing the great body OF
lawyers of the country to call the at
tention of Congress to those provisions of
the law and of the Constitution which are
fraught with serious danger and which
are liable to bring humiliation and dis
aster to the republic"
II states that the period between
election and Inauguration is "iable to
leave the administration in hands which
have been discredited by popular vote of
want Of confidence and that such a
situation greatly weakens the prestige of
the government both at home and abroad.
The three months session of the old
Congress occurring after n new Congress
has been elected is also most unsatisfac-
tory and serves as an opportunity for
partisan activity of the worst kind"

SUFFRAG|STS SPLIT
OVER FUTURE WORK
Woman's Party Factions for Dis
solution, Separate Party and
Fight for Rights.

Washington, Aug. 30.-- Three groups
OF the Woman's party are forming with
as many ideas about what their future
shall be
One favors the formation OF separate
woman's political party with candidates
and platform. Another favors action
to eliminate determinations against women
employing such political methods as the
National Woman's Party used during
the fight for suffrage. A third group
suggest that the party cease to exist any
longer as separate organization.
Mrs Abby Scott Baker, political chair
man of the party, left here yesterday
for New York to take part in preparing
for the first political convention of women
since their enfranchlsement to be held
here.
A memorial celebration for such suf-
frage pioneers as Susan B. Anthony,
Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, presentation to the Capitol
of memorial busts of these leaders,
reports of the long suffrage fight, and
consideration of various fields of work
now being covered by women's organ
izations in this country will be among
the matters considered during the four
DAYS of the convention.
Other organizations of women are
planning much activity in the near
future The National Women's Trade
Union League announced yesterday that
Southern Women's Interstate Labor
Conference will be held here November 10
Women delegates have been invited from
more than 900 cities and State organiza-
tions to send delegates.

GUARDIAN AND LEGACY
County Official Had Lost Track
of Child Placed in
His Care.

Cambridge, Md, Aug. 30-To be lost
by her guardian during her girlhood
and infancy and to find her guardian
and legacy was the experience of Miss
NJ Richie Morgan, young woman OF
this CITY.
Miss Morcan's father died before she
was born. Her mother followed him
to the grave when the child was but
little more than a year old.
Thomas W. Simmons, then n mem
Der of the Dorchester county bar, later
Secretary of State of Maryland. and
now a banker of New York, was APP
pointed administrator for the mother s
estate and Miss Morgans guardian.
As the latter was so young she was
taken by friends OF her mother and
Mr. Simmons lost sight of her. In
uliries made later by him did not avail
TO find her.
Some weeks. ago, however, friend,
Miss Helen Hastings, told Miss Nor
gan that her mother was said TO have
left some life insurance and urged her
to make some inquiry. Miss Morgan
did not wish TO take the trouble, placing
little faith in the story of the life insur-
ance, but Miss Hastings did not rest
until she had persuaded her 10 ask Regis
ter OF W Ills fusSeH L. Siflftn ABOUT IT.
The latter found by the records IN his
office that Mr.. Simmons was Miss Nor
gans guardian and wrote him about
the young woman. Mr.. Simmons came
to Cambridge, satisfied himself as to
Miss Morgan's identity, and turned over
to her several hundred dollars which
he had had in a savings bank accumu-

Chicago, Aug. 30.--The high cost OF

here.
Mr.. Mitchell has just returned from

be forced down to n reasonable level

said. Enormous crops are being garner

prices.
Bankers believe ample provision has

with improved railroad facilities the
entire country will prosper and eventu-
ally get back to solid earth.

Starts Campaign to Eliminate Graft In
Allotting Cars.

Philadelphia, Aug. 3O.--The manage
mcnt Of the Pennsylvania system has
undertaken an aggressive campaign to
break up the practice, indulgcd in by
some shippers, Of paying bribcs to rail
road employees for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning more than their pro rata allot-
ment Of freight cars. Wagon mines" in
the bituminous coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania have furnished majority Of the
cases hitherto uncovered, but the practice
has also extended to other lines of pro-
duction. In all instances where guilt has
been proved the railroad employees inn
plcatcd have been dismissed.
The operating and traffic officers
throughout the Pennsylvania system
have been thoroughly informed regard
ing the situation and have been instruct
ed to ask the cooperation of shippers in
all parts of the systems territory for the
purpose of arousing public sentiment
against attempts of any kind to corrupt
railroad employees or countcnance those
willing to be corrupted. Shippers are also
urged TO report to the company any cases
Of employees indicating willingness TO
