Leaders of the coalition regarded

great.

diet virtually bars both Smith and

Pennsylvania from any hope Of
entering the Senate in the next
Congress.
Smith meanwhile prepared today
to lay his case before the elections

In his fight for seat. it was

A preliminary meeting will be
held tomorrow to arrange a pro-

members of the committee and
Senator James A. Reed Dl Of Mis-.
souri,. who led the fight to bar

A program then will be mapped
out for the investigation, until
an agreement is reached, it was
said, no one would predict the

Pennsylvania Republicans received
the decision with much alarm.

had established a precedent by
which it will bar Ware from TAKING

If Ware IL once barred, they ad-
mitted, he probably never will be

Society Will Be Reopened in
Early Spring.

Mrs Edward B. Meigs, diocesan
president of the Girls Friendly So
ciety OF the Episcopal Church, has
issued the annual report of Holiday
House for 1926. Holiday House is a
vacation home for young women and
girls situated near Mount Vernon,
Va, on the line of the electric rail-
way from Alexandria.
In 1925 the house was opened from
April 1 to December 1, and during
that time 941 guests were entertained.
The majority of these came from
Washington and remained over the
week end. But there were frequent
visitors from a distance, some re.
manning as long as two weeks. Two
weeks every Summer devoted to the
entertainment of little girls under IL
years old from the churches in
Washington.
During the past Summer a Sunday
school was maintained for the bene.
fit of the children in the neighbor-
hood who are without church facili-
ties. This school was so successful
that with the coming of the Winter
and the impossibility of teachers 60
ing out from Washington. the stu
dents of the Virginia Theological
Seminary volunteered to keep the
school open, and have done so during
the Winter.
1t is expected that the Holiday
House will be opened in the early
Spring, and that it's facilities may be
enjoyed throughout the Summer by
those who desire taste of fresh
country air.
