situation of the local Guard as "desper-
ate" and without drill facilities.
Gen. Stephans letter, follows:
II inclose herewith copy Of H. r..
bill 6857, authorizing the use of the
Pension Bureau Building for armory
purposes.
"You will no doubt recall that when
bills were pending before Congress
authorizing erection of an armory for
the National Guard of the District o:
Columbia, you addressed a letter to
Hon. r. N. Elliott, chairman, commit
tee on public buildings and grounds OF
the House Of Representatives, in which
you stated that the Commission of
Fine Arts recommended, instead of con-
structing an armory building, that the
Pension Office Building be turned over
to the District OF Columbia Militia and
adapted to such uses. Your letter is
dated February 20, 1926
II believe that your letter carried
considerable weight with Mr.. Elliott and
the committee on public buildings and
grounds, inasmuch as q hearing on
the bill was held and no further action
taken
Bills Fl. r. 1857 and s. 1909 are now
before the House committee on public
buildings and grounds and the Senate
District committee
1.-THE Senate District committee will
have hearing on the proposed legis-
lation at a very early date. and I will
appreciate 1t very much IL you would
personally appear before the commit
tee and favor this legislation and an
sWer any questions which the commit
tee may ask as to the recommendation
of the Commission Of Fine Arts.
Recommendation Is Urged
"If you find that it will be imprac-
ticablc to appear in person / will deeply
appreciate 1t II you will make formal
recommendation to both the Senate
and House committees.
II have visited Mr.. Elliott and he Is
personally not in favor of the legisla-
ton. feeling that the Public Buildings
Commission should act in this matter
when the proper time arrives. How
ever, proposals regarding an armOry for
the District of Columbia National
Guard have been before Congress for
more than twenty years: but with the
numbers of committees. commissions

 Hartford society turned out en masse last evening at Parsons thea ter in cordial reception to Madame Clara Clemens, daughter of Mark Twain. who appeared in the title role of the book Joan Of Arc" crea- ted by her illustrious father. The attendance was a personal compll- ment to Madame Clemens and If the applause was not tremendous, this fact must be put down to tho re- straint and reserve which usually mark a gathering of this nature. Ossip Gabrilowitsch. the noted pian- ist and husband of Madame Clem- ems. was present.
 If the event was . brilliant suc- cess. the same cannot be said of the play itself. For two dreary acts. there is a deal of conversation. It re- minds one of a cast of serious up- filters trying to stage Shakespeare. The third act is we'll presented. the material in the story allowing the actors greater latitude in exempli- flying their art. Madame Clemens is at her best at the trial of the Maid of Orleans for heresy and during the brief moment one is allowed to see her incarcerated in dungeon within the shadow of the stake in the fourth act.
