Wilson Likely
ToNanoeLabor
Board Today
Mccormick Charges Chief
Executive Has Failed
To Function.
PALMER NOT TO ACT
Department Of Justice OFF,
cials Declare Injunction
Impractical.

President Wilson is expected to
name the nine men today whom
he has selected for the Railroad
Labor Board and send their nomi-
nations to the Senate.
This was the belief expressed at
the White House last night after
the Senate yesterday had ordered
a subcommittee of its members
to investigate the reasons for the
causes of the increasing number
of strikes of railroad workers
throughout the country.
Criticism OF President.
The investigation was ordered
after it had been frankly and
boldly stated. on the floor OF the
Senate that the President of the
United States was not functioning
in full energy as the nations
Chief Executive.
1t was pointed out that the
Presidents belated effort to estab-
lish the board would come too
late To take a hand in the pres
ent strike situation but that it
would strengthen the position OF
the union labor chiefs who are
attempting to hold the men to-
gether.
Talk OF injunction proceedings
against the strikers WAS dis
credited at the Department of
Justice. 1t would be a very diff
cult problem, officials there said,
TO operate an injunction against
such unorganized groups of strikers.
1t is altogether different, they said,
from the case of the miners who
were closely organized and called

good things, however, were not for
De Witt, for before the accident
he had met Miss Bailey, and the
picture he carried in his heart was
still bright.
Nor did the sightless condition
other sweetheart in any way alter
the tender regard which Miss Bailey
had for her sailor boy.
Steals Away From Hospital.
De Wits crippled buddy" made
possible the getaway from the in
stitution. Cupid's agent arranged
with a taxi driver to slip De Witt
out of the hospital grounds and to
the Camden station in Baltimore,
where friends of the broad highway
helped him board the Washington
train.
In this city he had little trouble
in being directed to Walter Reed.
and once there in the tender care
of Miss Bailey all element of danger
vanished.
De Witt and Miss Bailey, accom-
panied by the girls mother. formed
wedding party and went by boat
to Alexandria for the ceremony.
De Witt, "A. w. o. L." anyhow, de-
cided he would make It worth while,
and planned a honeymoon. The
two spent twelve days at Atlantic
City. returning then to Evergreen.
When the story of the marriage
was related both were received with
open arms.
Not only that. but the doctors at
Evergreen say De Wits sight Will
surely be restored by June.

Geneva dispatches that Italy and
Jugo-Slavia had reached an agree
ment on the Adriatic problem were
discredited at the Italian Embassy
yesterday. Ambassador Romano
Avezzana declared that he had re-
ceived no official confirmation of
such a settlement and questioned
the correctness of the newspaper re-
ports.
Under the reported agreement,
Italy would obtain Fiume and Jugo-
Slavia the Albanian Scutari. This
disposition of Scutari would be con-
trary to President Wilson's position,
clearly expressed in his recent Adri-
attic notes.
Secretary of State Colby and Am
bassador Romano Avezzana con-
ferred at the State Department yes
terday. The Adriatic question and
German French situation were dis
cussed, it is understood.

 Some of the prettiest scenes were those featuring the "big four" who sang well, danced well, and were un- usually attractive in the scenes where conventional evening dress was worn. The big four included: Misses Nir- ginia McGaughy, Thelma Carnahan, Thelma Daniels, and Ruby McGaughy. Miss Pearl Burks, as La Crier, rc- cited a monologue in connection with scene featuring some old fashion ed songs, and aided in making tn. scene quite effective. This, the clos ing scene, was strictly a costume scene, and the grouping of the char acters in the scene, made it an ap- pealing one.
 As a whole, the day pleased the majority of those who saw it, and that is the only assurance of the sue cess of any show. The principals re ceived many flowers presented by friends in the audience.
