Friends of President-E Elect Say That They Will Share in Patronage With the Democrats
By FREDERTCK Al. STORM


 (United Press Stan COrresp0ndent)
 Warm Springs, Ga, Dec 2--(UP) "A dvi s CTS of President-elect Roosevelt indicated today that progressive republicans who con- tributed to the overwhelming democratic victory would share patronage in the new administra- ton.
 An indication of this was seen fin the invitation extended to Sem ator Bronson Cutting, of New Mexico, and Senator Hiram Joh1- son, of California, to stop off in Warm Springs where Roosevelt is spending vacation.
 Cutting was expected sometime this week. It was regarded as doubtful that Johnson would ar rive, because the invitation to Warm Springs reached California after his departure for Washing | ton.
 Roosevelt had not only the sup- port of Cutting and Johnson, who bolted the Hoover-organization, but that of Senator George Norris, of Nebraska, and the LaFollette-re- publican-progressive group in Wis., consin.
 The governor was expected to extend his discussions with Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson, chair man of the inaugural committee, concerning plans for thaE event. Grayson, White House physician to President Wilson. came here with Breckenridge Long, of Mis- souri, former assistant secretary of state.
 'I will have an announcement to make on the inauguration plans later in the day." the governor said.
 Meanwhile, Roosevelt's political conferences on the makeup of his administration program went a. head steadily. He indicated that en extra session of congress would be necessary if farm relief. legis- lation was not approved at the short session.
 The governor is hopeful, however that an emergency program for agriculture will be enacted and the taxpayers will be spared the expense of summoning congress.

Parliamentary Procedure

BY the Associated Press.
The hazards of parliamentary pro-
cedure have handed the House wet
bloc an unexpected defeat In their eff
fort to secure a roll call vote on pro-
hibition issue,
They brought to a test late yesterday
the question OF spending Federal money
for wire tapping in prohibition enforce
ment, losing, by a teller vote of 132 to
102, a motion to amend the appropria-
ton bill in question by closing the SILL
369,50 Prohibition Bureau funds to
overlapping uses. This was the ex-
pected result.
Cannon Beats Schafer.
Upon it they planned to offer a mo-
tion to send the bill back to committee
with instructions to insert the anti
Wire-tapping item. Such motion per-
mits a roll call, and only one recon-
initial motion may be submitted on
each such bill Before Representative
Schsfer. Republican, Wisconsin, could
be recognized to put the proposition,

other point
The Speaker explained, at Schafer'S
protest, that House procedure required
him to recognize Cannon first, as he Is
a member of the Appropriations Com
mittee in charge Of the bill Later Gar
ner told inquiring newspaper men he
had not known Cannon was going to
seek recommittal.
Roll Call 1vnorrow.
His motion had b'xn defeated, 1913
to /, but Schafer, AFFECTING that a
quorum was not preseht, the House was
adjourned and a roll call will be held
on the question tomorrow.
Now the wet bloc must seek an
other prohibition issue to get the names
of the members down in black and
white on the question.
The situation involved one gain to
them. The teller vote recorded IS more
for the amendment than it obtained
when presented a year ago on the 1882
appropriation bill.

WAKEFIELD PLANTATION, Va,
February 23.-On this gentle bluff,
which looks across a broad inlet of The
Potomac and the six-mile wide river
itself to the Maryland shore, Washing
tons birthday first was celebrated an
even 200 years ago.
No cannon roared, drum rolled or
bugles blew; no flags shivered in The
chill February wind. Nothing but the
complaining wall of gray-eyed baby
boy, piercing the anxious hush Of a
lonely farmhouse, signaled an event
that now yearly halts for day a Nation
of 120 900 900 and is honored around
the world.
The only record of that earliest
celebration is in the mothers Bible.
Even this solitary notice was neglected
at the time and seems to have been
entered only as an afterthought by some
good penman. who wrote strangely like

Posterity has chosen to commemorate
February % as WaShington's birthday
in accordance with the calendar Eng
land adopted 20 years after he was born,
when II years were dropped from the
reckoning of time And some say the
first to celebrate the twenty-second was
none other than Tammany in 1890!
Except for that bare and belated
record of his birth, We have only one
other trace of Washington in his child
hood, and that Is passing reference In
a letter to Baby George" We nearly
lost trace of his birthplace itself, which
he left when he was three, his father
moving his family so miles up the
Potomac to another of his farms
which we know as Mount Vernon.
Washington had been dead Is years
when Mrs. Washington'S grandson,
George Washington Parke Gusts, float
ed down the Potomac from his stately
and now so familiar home at Arlington
and identified a briar and bramble
grown cellar hole as the true site of
the birthplace, which had been burned
in the Revolution.

After 40 years more the ground was

the Custis monument had been hacked
to fragments by relic hunters, who pene-

crept back over the neglected scene.

some members of the five Washington

their ancestral acres hereabouts, had

TRACTION MERGER
CHANGES OFFERED
Commission Submits Final Set of
Amendments to District
Committee.

The Public Utilities Commission today
submitted final set of amendments
to the pending street Car merger bill
to the Senate District Committee, now
considering the merger
The principal amendment has to do
with the problem of giving the merged
street car company the right to operate
taxicabs. 1t is sought to avoid this
possibility by amending the bill SO
as to give the new company the right
to acquire, owA and operate street rail-
ways, motor bu& lines and other forms
of mass transportation. In the previous
draft the word mass" was not used,
and its use in the present draft is de-
signed to eliminate the objection that
the new company could enter into any
transportation field at its option
whether properly part of mass trans
portation or not.
A second amendment takes out the
language which would permit the new
company to operate through subsidiary
corporations n the District. A third
would require approval by the Public
Utilities Commission of the articles Of
incorporation for the new company.
The last amendment gives the Public
Utilities Commission power to fix "rea-
sonably reduced rates" for the trans
portation Of school childrens The act
of Congress, setting a Scent limit for
fares for school children is nov in liti-
cation, and the commission desires to
save the reduced fares even If the
court should decide against the Scent
rate on the ground that it is conhsca-
tory.
