Being unable to get in
touch with other delegates on

Fair grounds, which had been
leased for the occasion, at 10
a. m. on the 9th. The first
thing saw was two large,
uniformed sentinels parked at
the gates of the fair ground.
A few moments later, a car
drove up containing delegates
from King county. Another
car arrived a moment later.
Before we had time to attempt
to enter the grounds, we were
told by the guards, probably
state patrolmen), that we would
not be allowed to meet. They also
informed us that we were under
arrest, and would have to accom-

the town was under martial law

TWENTY ARRESTED

On the way to the court house
we were joined by two other cars
containing delegates, also under
arrest, and in charge of two pa
trolmen. By this time we were
about 20 in all, one of the group
being State Secretary Boskaljon.
At the court house, we were in
formed that all highways were be-
ing patrolIed and delegates turned
back without being allowed to en-
ter the city. We were kept in
separate groups in a corridor at
the court house and not allowed
/ to communicate with each other,
each group being taken into the
/ sheriff's Offices office to be quiz
zed by some official, presumably
connected with the sheriff's force.
After disappearing into this den,
! they were elected by a different
route, so that we did not see them
again. I was told that all were
ordered to leave town Immediately
and not to return.

day he would be in New York in less time than
it took him to reach Alexandria.
Thomas Jefferson was the first President to
take the oath of Office in the City Of Magnif-
icent Distances" The Congress that year also
had its transportation troubles. It was report
ed that the Representatives and Senators
slowly trickled into the city" for session
scheduled to open on November IT, 1900. The
opening was delayed, however, because the
House could not muster quorum of its travel
stained members until November 18, and the
Senate not until November 81.
Jefferson attended the inaugural ceremonies
on March 4 alone, President Adams having left
the city at dawn in huff because he had been
defeated for reelection. =
The controversy over the manner in which
Jefferson travelled from his lodgings on New
Jersey avenue to the Capitol has never been
definitely settled. One version is that he came
on horseback. dismounted without assistance
and htched his horse to a rack in front Of the
Capitol before entering to take the oath
It Is pointed out on the other hand, that the
distance from his lodgings to the Capitol was
only 200 PAGES and that he probably walked,
"as any other sensible man would have done
in fair weather" Newspaper accounts of the
incident, however, are conspicuously lacking in
any information as to the condition Of the
weather
An amusing story is told in connection with
his second Inauguration. Jefferson lived very
simply in Washington but at Monticello, his
home near Charlottesville, he had q handsome
carriage which he wanted to use for the tnau
gural ceremony. Consequently, he arranged
with q servant to drive it to Washington. Un-
fortunately, the carriage begged down in the
famous Virginia red clay. and March rolled
around without any vehicle of state for the
President to ride in.
This misfortune had another regrettable as

lining the road to see him. According to one
observer, his reception at Gray's Bridge was
one that "even the pencil of Raphael could
not delneate" He described it in a letter to
his nephew as follows:
1.-THE bridge was highly decorated with ever
greens by Mr. Gray himself and others in such
a style as to display uncommon taste in these
gentlemen. At each end there were erected
magnificent arches, composed of laurel, en-
blematical of ancient triumphal arches used by
the Romans and on each side of the bridge
was laurel shrubbery which seemed to chal-
lenge even Nature herself for simplicity. ease
and elegance. And as our beloved washington
passed the bridge, lad, beautifully ornamenteo
with sprigs of laurel, assisted by a certain me-
chinery, let drop. above the hero's head. I'M
perceived by him, civic crown Of laurel. There
was also a very elegant display of variegated
flags on each side of the bridge, as well as
other places which alternately caught the eye
and filled the spectators soul with admiration
and delight
In addition to this gala reception at Mr..
Gray's bridge. it was reported that nearly
10000 free citizens lined every fence, field and
avenue and Justify cheered their hero into
Philadelphia.
Somewhat fatigued by the trip so far. Wash
ington rested briefly in Philadelphia, but on
the morning of April Fl he set out for New
York. A city troop of light horse wanted to
escort him to Trenton, but Washington re-
fused this honor. A steady rain was falling.

Five Little Peppers" At
National Theatre October q

The first Saturday morning play of
the Children's Theatre season at the
National Theatre October 81, will be
an old acknowledgement Sidney's
"The Five Little Peppers and How
they Grew" A specially chosen cast
of professional adults, directed by
Clare Tree Major, will bring TO life
characters, who have been the init
mate friends of two generations of
children.
"The Five Little Peppers" has
often been compared with such juve-
nile classics as "Little Women" and
"Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch
like them, its story concerns the
gaiety and vicissitudes of a poverty
stricken family. The five children
Ben, Polly, Joel, Davis and five-year-
old Phronsie-with their widowed
mother, are known and loved almost
as well as the March family, or Mrs.
Wigs riotous brood. Their lively ad-
ventures and small sorrows make an
ideal play for children, who so easily
throw themselves into the lives of the
people they see on the stage. The
Children's Theatre deserves praise for
selecting, as its first play of the cur
rent season, a story which is at once
SO well-known as book and so rare
ly seen in the dramatic form for
which it is eminently suited.
