holding hearings, win attempt to
tear the veil Of secrecy from the
mysterious meeting held yesterday

cials, he said today.
Representative H m mer ac-
cepted the likelihood that the
meeting was devoted to a discus
sion of the proposed street car
merger and declared he would ask
Commissioners Rudolph and Fen
ming about the secret conference,
when they are called before the
hearing during the next few days.
Will Make Request
II do not know how much the
public Is entitled to know about
this meeting said Representative
Hammer, but / intend to ask the
Commissioners II it is in line with
public policy. as they conceive it,,
to tell the subcommittee about yes
terday's conference"
Representative Hammer said that
he agreed with previous statements
of the Commission and traction OF
ficials that unwise public discussion
of the merger might be fatal 10
their best plans.
Commission Is Silent
He stated, however. that he be-
neved the discussion should not go
much further until q revaluation
had been made of the properties OF
the street car companies.
Utilities commission Officials re-
manned silent today in regard to
the conference, merely repeating
that 1t was a confidential discus
sion of a subject not to be an
nounced.

"STUFFY, : DOG
HERO, DIES

'Stuffy," washington's most
famous canine citizen and dog
hero of the world war, died last
night.
One day in the summer Of 1917,
a stray Boston bull pup appeared
at Yale Field, New Haven, Conn.,,
where a division of the 1920 In.
Gantry was training to Ego over. ;
Day after day he came back and
joyously romped about while the
doughboys drilled. Finally he
adopted the division and the boys
christened him "Stuffy." In Sep
TENDER. 1917, the division went over
and "Stuffy" went too.
It's a wonder that he WASH I
killed, but the especial providence
that looks after brave dogs must
have kept a watchful eye upon him.
for he escaped with a shell wound.
During the war he went through
the four great drives with the
1O2nd. In 1918 he was in Paris
with some of his buddies. He was
introduced to a French lady and
made such an impression that he
shortly after received a channels
skin blanket from her. That
blanket has become known to al
most every Legionnaire in this part
of the country.
Heading every Legion parade
since the end of the war have been
'Stuffy' and "Laddie Boy" the
White House pet. The Legion
mascot has had more pictures taken
of him and his sixteen medals and
has graced more newspaper pages
than any dog living.
He is to- be mounted and pre-
sented to the Smithsonian Museum.

MAN KNOCKED ON HEAD
AND ROBBED IN ROOM

While sleeping peacefully in his
room at the Empire Hotel. 62S
Pennsylvania Ave. N. W., last
night. Ernest Casey, Al, says that
another roomer entered his room
through a window and beat him
over the head with a blackjack.
The force OF the blow woke him
up instead of knocking him un.
conscious, he said, and he saw his
netghbor take 81 from his trousers
pocket and leave.
Casey then called for help and
was removed to Emergency Hos
pital and treated for the injury to
his head. His condition is de.
scribed as not serious.
The robber is described as IS
years old, weighs $50 pounds, and
wears "a derby hat and shell,
trimmed glasses. Police of the
Sixth precinct are searching for
him.

Certainly, in point Of formal cdu-
cation, Wilson was the best traineI
man who ever occupied the white
House. He had received the best
training that American universities
could supply, and he had supplement-
ed this by long years Of study as
professor and as lecturer. lie was
student Of history. He saw things in
their perspective in systematic, order.
ly fashion.
He knew the limitations Of things
He had been a profound student Of
American institutions and problems
and had a full acquaintance with
foreign governments and foreign
history.
COULD BE GAY.
Mr.. Wilson was a pioneer among
Americans in the study Of foreign a.
rangements and governmental policies.
His book. "The State dealing WITH
comparative government, was the first
in the field, and Wilson was instruct
ing America about foreign matters b..
fore most of his critics had escaped
from the bondage Of prOyincialism.
It was n genuine pleasure to talk
with Wilson, to engage in conference
with him and to discuss light or scri-
Gus, simple or complex matters with
him. He could be light and gay. No
body could or did tell rs many good
or apt ste as he; and yet no did
not manufacture stories or lug them in
by the cars. They appeared naturally,
they came quickly; and his sallies,
while seldom biting and never bitter,
were keen and enlightening.
He was witty rather than humor.
Gus, in this characteristic resembling
the best English and New England
thinkers and speakers rather than the
typical American. His wit never
yerged on the doubtful or the vulgar.
He naturally resented vulgarity and
iTreverence.
One reason why it was 4 pleasure to
discuss matters with Wilson is that hc
was quick and did not have to be cdu.
Gated. On, could assume more With
him than with almost any other per

army would fly in two sections, one
with Los Angeles as its objective,
while the other would make for San
Francisco.
The pursuit planes, in squadron
formation, would take off for Los
Angeles, their mission being to beat
out of the skies any American planes,
which arose. But there wouldn't be
any real war planes to arise, as we
haven't a single modern plane fit to
fight on the Pacific Coast today, and
only one army air field in actual oper-
alton there.
