CLARENDON. Va. June 9.-As
predicted exclusively in The Wash.
ington Times some time ago, II has
now been revealed that the Washing
ton and Old Dominion railway will
build a large car barn terminus in
Rosslyn. Although officials of the
company are still silent as TO their
future plans, certain Arlington cOun.
ty officials declared today that with
the completion Of the Key Memorial
bridge across thetPotomac at George
town that the street car company
will abandon Its Georgetown terminus
and move across the river to Ross

Recently the Rosslyn Trust Com.
pany purchased q large tract of land
In Rosslyn, for the highest price
ever paid for real estate in that
town, the price approximating SO
cents per square foot. At that time
II was rumored that the deal was
consummated In the interests of the
Old Dominion Line, but bank Off
cials declared the purchase was
made solely with the idea of building
new commercial structure on the
property.
SOunty Officials VINO Btate0 DELL

' the little town of Pom fret, Conn.,, one of the oldest towns in the State, there is annually given at the Christmas season a drama of the Nativity that is rapidly winning for itself the name of the American Passion Play of Oberammergau.

 The audience assemblies much as though going to church. It is always an interesting gath ering. There are men, rough and hardened by years of toll and grinding work on the farm. There women, workworn and wrlnkled, llnea by years of labor and child-bearing. There are fresh pink-cheeked maidens before whom life is as yet empty scroll There are small boys and girls understanding little and wondering much. And there is an occasional babe one who could not be left behind while father and mother went to the Christmas drama. And mingled with them and of them are the fur-wrapped, well-groomed women from the Inn and from the brilliantly lighted holly hung homes in the Pomfret Hills, sleek, immaculate clubmen, as much at home in New York as in Pomfret.
 Such might have been the people who jour sneyed to Bethlehem to be taxed at the behest of Caesar Augustus For the rough, wrinkled hills of New England not unlike the rolling country of old Judea, and the people of New England. even as those of the Old World, toll with the soil and the crops and the cattle in the fields.
 They seat themselves in silence. Finally the sound of Christmas carols is heard. The audience joins the singers behind the scenes and lustily sings the old Christmas songs: "Once in Royal David's City," "As Shepherds Watched Their Flocks by Night" "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear and finally Bishop Brooks's beloved Little Town of Bethlehem"

 The Gospel of the Nativity is read, and as it dies away single voice behind the scenes begins the old German hymn @Silent Night" as the theme and description of what is to follow:
 Silent night; holy night.
 All is still save the light
 Yonder where they sweet vigil keep
 Der the Child who in holy sleep
 Rests in heavenly peace;
 Rests in heavenly peace"
 The words die away only to re-echo again as they are taken up in a hummng chorus by the actors behind the scenes, as sustaining waves of melody that swell, rise and fall away as the cur tain ascends.
 The darkened stage, blueblack almost as the twilight, reveals Mary, meekest and loveest of woiAen III AH history, adored through the ages as the Virgin Mother, kneeling in prayer, her hands clasped in devout piety and her robes sweeping behind her on the floor. The figure of Mary is illumined only by the radiance that always bathes the figure of the Angel Gabriel
 The face of Mary is filled with wonder as shs strives to comprehend the mystery into which she IS bidden to enter. Humility, and the obedience of her race, follow one after the other untfl. aved and inspired by the burden laid upon her. she sub. mits herself, her arms crossed upon her breast.

WIFE FINDS ANOTHER
ON SHIP WITH HUSBAND
Women Face Across Table
and Three LeaUe Saloon.

The story of an unexpected meeting
by a husband who did not know his
wife was on the same boat came to
light yesterday when the steamship
Paris arrived. The result. so far at
least, is that Nine. Marie Levett rs,
of 1876 Mission street. San Francisco.
has been held up by the. immigration
authorities until they can ask her some
more questions.
On the first day out, according to
passengers. Antoine Vayssie, a hotel
proprietor of San Francisco, arranged
for seats at table in the main dining
saloon for Nine. Levett and himself.
few moments later another woman
appeared and asked for seat for
Nine. Vayssie." The steward replied
that he thought he had just seated
M. and Nine. Vayssie, but anyhow he
gave the real Nine. Vayssie a seat
directly opposite Nine. Levett. The two
women glared at each other, there was
moment of silence while others looked
on. and the scene ended when all three
left the table. After that the voyage
proved so rough that Nine. vayssie
stayed in her cabin most of the time.
Simply case of a jealous WIFE
said Vayssie last night. Mime. Levett
went across to see her young daughter
in Paris. but returned mhen she found
the child was in too delicate health to
come back with her. Her husband
works for my brother in San Francisco
and she is my second cousin. My wife
has plenty of money and can travel
where she pleases, but was under the
impression that she would return later.
l did not expect to find her on this
boat. She Is very jealous

SUGGESTS COLLEGE
OFDIPLOMACY HERE
Chancellor Brown Outlines
Plan for University of
New York.
PENFIELD GIFT STARTS 1T
World Relations Would Be
Studied With View to
Widest Value.

Establishment of a college of interna-
tionai affairs for the training of Ameri-
can youth for the diplomatic service
has been recommended by Chancellor
Elmer Ellsworth Brown to the Council
of New York University. A start
toward such school has been obtained,
Chancellor Brown said. through the be-
quest II the late DR.. Frederic Courtland
Penfield, former Ambassador to Aus
tria, of $4,000 for the endowment of
scholarships in diplomacy. International
affairs and belles-lettres.
Such a school as Chancellor Brown
suggested could be started with an in
itial endowment of 100000. the council
was told, but its ultimate development
would require an endowment of from
one to two million dollars. Two i'm
portant concomitants of such a school,
Chancellor Brown said, would be build
ing up at New York University of a
great library Of international relations
and special provision for publication in
this field.
Discussing the plans Chancellor Brown
said: e++
my idea would be that the training
of men for the post of Minister or Am
bassador should not be emphasized at
first. but rather the training of men for
those consular, commercial and educa-
tional positions from which our diplo-
matte service will in all probability be
more largey recruited in the future than
in the past. Nevertheless, I should not
leave out of consideration the direct
preparation of men for the higher grades
of diplomatic service. but should re-
gard that as development which
should appear as a natural sequence OF
the more fundamental training.
''It is proposed that this shall be
department or school for instruction and
research In the whole wide field OF In
ternational relations. 1t will prepare for
the diplomatic service, not merely in the
narrower field of political activity, but
in the broader domain of those relation
ships on which political relationships are
conditioned. 1t will deal also with the
cultural relationships which are the
flower and fruit of the worlds economic
life More specifically. it will train men
for posts in the consular service of the
United States and for those posts OF
commercial attache which are found in
some of our principal embassies. 1t will
prepare for the position of educational
attache, which I have long advocated,
and the need Of which becomes increas-
ingly apparent. 1t will facilitate ex-
changes in the field Of science. 1t will
when fully developed, send it's own ennis
saries abroad to collect information and
foster intercourse in the fields of
science, literature and the arts"
Chancellor Brown suggests that
knowledge of foreign languages should
be prerequisite of admission.

STILLMAN NOW HAS
CHANCE TO APPEAL
High Courts Refusal to Vacate
Confirmation of Report
Opens Way.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALi .
PouoHKEEPsrE, N. Y, Oct 2s.-Alan
II. f. Seeger. Supreme Court Justice. at
a special term here to-day denied the
motion Of William J. Rand. attorney for
James A. Stillman, to vacate the order
Of confirmation of the report of the
referee. Daniel J. Gleason, and the sig
rature of Joseph Morschauser, who
judged the case
The report denied a divorce to the
banker. H.
Justice Seeger said he had followed
the case carefully to ascertain If either
judge had exceeded his authority. He
had failed to find anything that would
show that either Justice Morschauser or
Judge Gleason had done so, the Justice
said.
Rand questioned the Jurisdiction Of
Justice Morschauser and asked that the
court send the case to Justice Tompkins
for decision. Judge Seeger denied this
and also the motion to vacate the deci-
sion on its merits. which gives tho
plaintiff his first opportunity to take
the case to appeal.
John E. Mack, guardian for the bank
ers baby, Guy. entered an objection
against the entering of motion on the
question of jurisdiction on the ground
hat no special term had the right or
authority to overrule another special
term and also on the ground that the
facts set forth were insufficient.
John Brennan. chief of counsel for
Mrs. Stillman. contended that the only
place where the plaintiff should go with
his case now was before the Appellate
Division and not around the entire judi
cial district until some Judge were
found who would hear them and over
rule Judge Morschauser.
Justice Seeger said he was not satis-
fed that Justice Morschauser did not
have jurisdiction and denied the motion.

Frances Perkins, Miss Ethel NJ Smith.
Miss Katherine Ludington. Mrs. j. Bor-

Miss Julia c. Lathrop of the National

Twenty-third street. IF the blanket
bill Is passed lawyers tell us no one
can prophecy the damage it would do.
But certainly the protective laws built
up around women as wives and mothers
ince old tribal days, and the protective
laws for women in industry passed by
the Consumers League and cooperating
organizations in the last thirty-fiye
years would be endangered. We all
want laws handicapping women done
away with. And we urge a~specific
law for each Issue as the only safe
method.
"All the organizations which will be
represented in the Washington Con-
ference are opposing the National
Woman's Party blanket bill. On
special committee to oppose it we have
leaders in both Democratic and Re-
publican parties. We consider, it ridicu-
lous to talk of a woman bloc And
we shall certainly destroy any possible
assumption on the part of the Amer
lean public that the National Woman's
Party represents the women of this
country. when it has in fact only a
few hundred adherents"
