committee, was to confer today with
District officials and traffic authorities,
to check up on every detail of plan
to eliminate traffic congestion at the
doors of the auditorium on the night
of the ball.
While decision has not yet been
made, it Is possible the ball committee
may adopt the system which worked
we'll in 1925 of providing taxicabs for
all guests, either to the point where
their cars were parked or to their
homes. This plan prevented delay in
the departure of guests from the May
flower Hotel. where that ball was held
and did away with the usual congestion
Of private cars
Mrs Dougherty also conferred today
with leaders Of the Army, Navy and
Marine Bands and with Mrs. Lawrence
Townsend and Edouard Albion of the

Deininger was found by his wife. the
former Virginia Danforth, musical
comedy actress. on the sleeping porch
of their home with bullet wound in
his head and the pistol on the floor be-
side him. The one cartridge in the
weapon had been discharged.
Suicide Is Doubted.
Pistol experts of the police depart
N INT said it would have been impOssi-
BE for him to have opened the gun
after shooting himself, adding that it
was highly improbable that the gun
WIS opened in falling. Although Coroner
David H. Atwater pronounced 1t sui
eide, the police turned the case over to
the district attorneys office.
Mrs Deininger told police that after
guests had departed early yesterday
morning her husband burst into tears
over the affairs of the tire business in
which he was engaged since leaving the
baking business.
She said she demonstrated with him,
whereupon he left the bedroom, going
cut onto the sleeping porch. A few mo-

sound of a shot and ran to the Sleep
ing porch where she found her hus-

pital where he died few hours later,
without regaining consciousness.
Marriage Caused Sensation.
Deininger's marriage to Miss Danforth

attention in social and theatrical cir
cles. He was at the time driving de-
livery wagon in Philadelphia for the
General Baking Co., of which his uncle,
William Deininger was the head. to
learn the business from the ground up.
Miss Danforth was in the cast OF

When the Deiningers withdrew from
the General Baking Co. the young
couple came to Rochester and establish

One day a sailor came to visit some
of our neighbors. He was COB. but
to me he looked like an admiral or
general or some one who outranked
every one else. I pictured myself in
such uniform and went home to tell
the folks of my ambitions. They gave
me no encouragement, however, for
they refused to give me permission to
enlist in the Navy simply because they
did not want me to leave home.
And so for time I had to be con-
tent with work on the farm. Some
times got away long enough to play
foot ball and base ball with the fellows

in the Winter, but most of the time

Says:

NEW YORK.-All we seem to
celebrate Washington's birthday for
is so we can revive the argument as
to what he had to say about en-
tanglements with Europe" Every
speaker makes him say just what
that speaker wants him to say.
Coolidge says it was Jefferson that
made the wise crack" about not
messing with outsiders.
So it looks like added to all his
other accomplishments Washington
