He indicated to us that his department
would be liberal in the Interpretation
Of the lean and the valuations that
were placed upon their stock.
Collections
We also discussed with the Score
tary the question of collections on the
seed loan, informing him that in our
opinion it was imperative that the De-
partment didn't attempt to take what
little wheat the farmer had raised
away from him, as they would need IT
for feed for their animals this winter.
He informed us that they had no in
~tention of doing that. This morning |
received a wire from the Havre Cham
Der Of Commerce and other Chambers
of Commerce saying that this very
thing vas being done, and | immediate

told me that they would correct it by

Road Building
We took up with the Secretary of
Agriculture, the Bureau of Public
Roads and with the President with
reference to the building of roads and
the farmers the work to do.
We found that they We're all sympa-

done by the farmers of the state and
by the unemployed rather than by
contractors who would do the work

Celebrates Birthday

Bill and John, cronies for years,
but rather reticent about their ages
and birthdays, met as usual last
Thursday. They discussed the rain
which was a mighty welcome topic
that day. incidentally Bill said "This
is my birthday, and ! believe this
rain is sent down for my special BEN
eft; come on let's have a root beer"
John said "It's my birthday tool"
Comparing notes they were the same
age. They proceeded to celebrate their
birthdays in appropriate style.

DOWNING MANSION
FIRE INVESTIGATED
Mysterious Blaze Destroys
VaIuabIeS Estimated to Be
Worth $25, 1000.

Deputy Fire Marshal C. G. Achstet-
ter today was investigating the mysteri-
Gus fire which last night destroyed the
mansion at lot Ridge road southeast,
formerly occupied by Robert Downing,
tragedian and evangelist. 1t was the
second fire on the estate in recent
months.
Only the shell of the building was
left standing by the flames, which con-
sumed valuable furniture, oil paintings
and a wealth of theatrical costume S
and other relics. An unofficial eSti-
mate placed the damage at approx
mately $4,000.
It is believed by police that tramps
started the fire. A family living in
the neighborhood discovered the blaze
about 1890 o'clock and turned in an
alarm.
The fire had gained great Roadway
before the firemen reached the scene,
while they were further delayed by
lack of proper facilities for combating
the conf1agration. A hose line nearly
a mile in length had to be laid before
the firefighters took up the battle.
Thomas j. Chappelear of 1904 Twen-
ty-third street southeast. owner of the
home, said that the building had not
been occupied for three months and
that the last tenants were the family
of F. D. Bridget. Previously, Eugenia
Blair, herself a famous actress and sis
ter of Downing, lived there.
Three small dwellings on the estate
were RACED by fire last Labor day. The
main structure was a tWo-Story frame
building and had stood on hill over
looking the AnacoStia River for 80
years.

D. C. COM MISSIONERS
STUDY BUS PARKING
Consider Plan to Prevent Inter-
state Machines Standing in
Downtown Area.

The District Commissioners had be-
fore them at their board meeting today
the draft of regulation to prevent the
parking of interstate buses inside the
downtown congested area. This is one
Of the matters considerably agitated
recently when the Public Utilities Com
mission tried and failed to enforce its
orders affecting interstate buses.
1t had been the original plan to wait
until the new traffic bill passed, when
action on the matter would have been
taken by the joint board proposed to be
set up in the bill, consisting of all of
the members of the Public Utilities
Commission and the Board of Commits
sioners. Since it is becoming daily more
doubtful whether the traffic bill will
pass, the Commissioners have decided
to take a hand and seek to deal with
the problem as one coming within their
police powers.
A proposed draft of the regulation
was written by Assistant Corporation
Counsel William A. Roberts.

D. C. HEADS AFFIRM
FIRE CAPTAINS FINE
Capt. Chinn to Forfeit SIS After
Pleading Guilty to Answering
Wrong Alarm.

The District Commissioners today
affirmed the sentence of the Fire De-
partment Trial Board in imposing a
fine CT S. on Cap. Frank Chinn of the
Fire Department, on his plea of guilty
to responding to the wrong box on a
fire alarm. The alarm sounded was for
box 1852, to which Capt. Chinn's COM
pany, No. 5 engine, is not required to
respond on a first alarm. The captain,
however. mistook the alarm for 1852,
which is in his territory, being at Con-
necticut avenue and Legation street.
Accordingly No. 5 engine rushed to the
wrong box, and found that there was
no fire No harm was done, as the ccr-
rect engine responded to the alarm,
which was for a fire in the grounds of
Mount St. Adams Cathedral on the
night of November %.
There were no alarms for No. 5 dur
ing its absence. The lightness of the
fine is explained in an accompanying
report that during the % years of his
service Capt. CHM had never before
been summoned before the Trial Board.
At the same time fine of 500 i'm
posed on Pvt. j. G. Price of No. % en-
CINE company was also affirmed by the
Commissioners. This was on plea OF
guilty to being absent from duty with
out official permission. Price had al
ready in his record SIS and $40 f1ne
for hardness and a $40 fine for absence
without permission.

CONGRESSIONAL CLUB VOTING
STIRS CAPITOL SPECULATIONS
Mrs. Dyer, Mrs. CroWther and
Mrs. Hoch Face Eliminat-
ing Ballots Tomorrow.
Only Two Can Run for Presi-
dent-Husbands Are
Interested.
BY MARGARET HART.

Speculations are rife in Congressional
circles today as to which one of the
three candidates, Mrs. LeonidaS G.
DYER of Missouri, Mrs. Frank CroWtner
of New York or Mrs Homer Hoch OF
Kansas, will be eliminated from the race
for president of the Congressional Club
at the meeting of the membership at
the club house, 2001 New Hampshire
avenue, tomorrow morning.
Under a bylaw only two candidates
can be presented for any Office at the
annual elections in February. so one
of the three announced candidates for
president and any nominations which
NAV be made from the floor involving
more than the stipulated number for
each Office will not be listed at the cleo
tons.
Elimination to Be Tomorrow.
The membership will vote tomorrow
morning on the names OF chose otiered
for the nomins ton for election and all
but the two receiving the highest num-
Der of votes for the nomination 1or each
office will be eliminated.
In the meantime, lively campaigning
is going on at teas and luncheons and
at little get-together meetings, in the
corridors and committee rooms OF the
Capital and in the House and Senate
Buildings Offices and committee rooms.
While no member of the House or
Senate would interfere" in the running
of the club to which their wives, sisters
daughters, and mothers belong, 1t Is a
we'll known fact that the elections at
the Congressional Club divide honorS
as a congressional topic with appro-
priations and Investigations to be
carried on on Capitol Hill.
There is no denying that an office In
the Congressional Club, especially that
of president or other of high rank,
gives a certain prestige, not only to the
congressional woman holding the office
herself, but to the rest of her family.
To the eager constituency back at
home it means much, too.
Bon Mots" Fly Thick and Fast.
Bon mots' and sugared verbal darts
have flown thick and fast-m most
polite way, of course-during the past
few weeks over the eligibility classif1-
cations of wife of Representative
from the Middle West about whom
much of the election struggle seems 10
center. Those who are supporting one
of the candidates, who, it is said, Will
not be prejudiced because of her alleged
opinion concerning the admittance OF
any woman to membership for racial or
other reasons, point out that there is
no grounds for opposition to this can
didate on this account, as 1t Will be I'M
possible for any woman to be admitted
to the club without the consent OF the
membership. Under the rules of the
Congressional Club. the name OF the
candidate for membership has to be
