SMOOT TO FIGHT
FOR BUILDING BILL
Declares Proposal to Spend
$4,000, coo Here viii Be
Pushed Vigorously.

The fight to bring about the ap-
proDrtatfon of S50e00,00e TO be used
for needed Government buildings in
the District of Columbia, senator
Smoot of Utah, chairman OF the fno-
lie Buildings Commission, SAID TO-DAY
will be pressed vigorously at the next
session of Congress
1'I am confident that bill Will be
psssed making provision for the
buildings so vitality needed in Wash
inston." said Senator Smoot. Il ouiy
hope that none of the Government $
priceless records now stored in IN
namnable structures in this city Will
he DESTROYED by fire before these pro-
posed structures can be erected"
Senator Smoot said that there might
he a general public buildings bill
such as the Elliott bill, which pro-
yided $50, 600. zoe for buildings, with
the understanding that $4,000
should be expended in the District or
Columbia, and which passed the
House during the last session of CON
gress The Elliott bill was opposed
in the Senate by some of the Demo :
Gratis. who did not like the proposal
That the executive department should
decide where the money was TO be
expended in their States. and for that
reason failed when proposed as
rider TO one of the appropriation
bills,
Could Save Muck Rent.
ABut whatever is done about gem
ersi bin,'' said Senator Smoot, there
Will be a bill to care for the Govern
mknt's building needs in the District
of Columbia. They are more serious
hsre than in any other part of the
JHited States The building program,
If completed here, would save the
government thousands upon thou
safds of dollars in rents and in
economy of time and greater ef-
tfciency of administration"
Senator Smoot reiterated his intention
of. Offering a bill at the next session or
Congress, or of seeking to have an ap-
preparation bill carry an item. for the
construction of a nstional gallery of art.
TIE plans for such a building have al
ready peen prepared through the Smith
sohian Institution.
cit is a disgrace he said, that the
greatest Nation in the world should
have no gallery of art. The present gal
ley is housed inadequately III a part of
the National Museum Building. Scores
off fine paintings are stored away or
htiilg in obscure parts of the building.
furthermore, the failure to provide an
adequate home for art trea sures Is pre-
venting the Government from receiving
many donations of patriotic art col
lectors."

influence gives the bomb immensely

No amount of maneuvering by the

don Washington depends largely
upon the weather here. While dis
cussing this with friends yesterday
afternoon the President Is understood
to have said that IL it remains cool
during June and July there is no
reason to seek other climates before
August. He thinks it is best not to
remain here throughout the heat of
the Summer. He is of the opinion
that he will be benefited by going
to higher altitude and a cooler eli
mate.
The President. however, has very
frequently said that he and Mrs

throughout last Summer. they hav-
ing remained here except for the 10

j. D. c. HERE PLAN
FIGHT UPON CUSTER
Both Factions to 60 Before
General Congress of Society
to Ask Reinstatement.

The District OF Columbia division
of the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy. which was ousted from the
national organization following its
inability to settle twoyear-old row
over the election OF officers is looking
forward to the next general congress
OF the society in November as the
most propitious time &c fight for re-
instaten1ent.
With the first shock of the national
executive boards drastic decision
over, leaders in both factions here,
one led by Mrs. Albion wilkins Tuck,
defacto president general of the Dis
trict, and the other by Mrs. Drury
Conway Ludlow, selected for the
same office by the insurgent group,
began looking around today for a
proper method of to bring peace out
of chaos.
Hope of restoring peace without an
other election, however, seems as dis
tant now as IL was when Mrs. Lud-
low and six OF the leading chapters
walked out of the District convention
nearly two years ago, charging Mrs
Tuck's adherents with iIlegalities in
voting and adopting steam roller
meth DDS. Both sides remain adamant
in their belief that the other side Is
wrong.
the national officers be invited TO
come TO Washington soon and pre-
side over a special convention at
which an entirely new set of officers
might be selected. 1t Is not thought,
however, that the national organiZa-
ton would be willing to assume such
responsibility, even If the Washing
ton chapters agreed to the plan as
possible solution for their dilemma
Term 1t yindication.
While Mrs. Ludlow declared lead
ers in her faction were writing to
Mrs. Frank Harold, national presi-
dent general, thanking her for the
decision on the basis that il was a vim
dication of their views, lieutenants
of Mrs. Tucks forces declared they
saw in the edict of suspension moth
ing but an Indication that the ma
tlonal organization expected the Dis
trict members to clean their own
house. They declared they could find
no vindication for any one.
In the meantime, the 13 chapters
here will continue TO function as
separate units until the convention
| meets in Hot Springs, Ark, in the
Fall, unless they are informed by
| Mrs. Harold that they are not even
recognized as being part of the So
ciety, which they frankly do not ex-
pect. But so far as organization
goes, there is none here now for the
United Daughters of the Confeder-
acy. 1t is completely dead.

Lord Teddy eyed her intently. She
felt sinEularly at ease with this
eXuberant young man. She laughed
at him brightly when he protested;
"Oh, really. now. You mustn't pre-
tend that. I'm dreadfully dumb when
young woman declares that she
doesn't know everything! It's never
true these days, you know, and it's
lot jollier to not make believe"
'I'll admit" she agreed, that any
