The name of Mrs. John Rogers, of New York, is causing the "Oh's" and "Ah's" and considerable excited talk, for Mrs. Rogers Is a suffragette and a rather militant one, it Is said. Likewise she is the sister of Mrs. H. L. Stimson, wife of the Secretary of War. who is an ardent anti-suffragist and is not pleased with the coming of her sister to speak In the cause of her opponents. Mrs Rogers, however. Is a director of the Woman's Political Union, of New York, and has campaigned in California and Ohio.

Any other Fl Syrup offered as good should be refused with con tempt. Don't be Imposed upon. WOMEN UNDER GOVERNNIEN Needs of Capital Told in Testimony, Of Colonel Judspn "Commissioners should have larger powers. "Police patrols and fire apparatus should be motorized. "Public Service Commission needed, to hold mergers and monopolies. ."Capital should make asphalt .at municipal plant. " "Consolidate all police in District under authority of Commissioners." DISTRICT REFORMS ,i URGED BY JUDSON In what he termed "probably my fare well appearance before this committee," CoL W. V. Judson, Engineer Commis sioner," told the subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee in charge of the District bill that a num ber of changes are needed In the con duct of the Municipal Government. Among other things, the Commission er, In his parting fhot asserted that Congress should vest the Commission ers with larger powers. Entirely too much time, he' said, is consumed by Congress in the consideration of minor street bills, and measures of this char acter, which should be left the regula tions by the Commissioner. Colonel Judson made one more plea rnl. mmiHnni nsnhslt Til ant. He urged the creation of a public service commis sion and attackea tno proposea racrjer of the public utilities of Washington. "We have no public utilities law like those already enacted or ifbw under consideration in the various States," he said. "Arguments for such 'ft law seem almost superfluous. I need only men tion the recent organization under the law of Virginia of a gigantic holding corporation known as the Washington Utilities Company, which, with the usual accompaniment of inflation, and practically without public supervision or the expressed consent of Congress, Is thrusting-Itself into our local public utility situation. ' "The asphalt paving industry in a city of the size of Washington is perhaps a natural monopoly. If there be two Independent plants, for self-preservation they enter into more or less close agreements, and the public finds Itself supporting two plants and two organiza tions. If they enter Into no such agree ment, for a year or two there may be cut-throat competition.'' One plant goes under, and the public must pay the prices demanded by the. plant remain ing. I am convinced that it .would be wise and economic to motorize the apparatus of the fire department throughout, and that if this were done' there would be little or no necessity, for any materil Increase In Ire apparatuaXor ten years more to come. c it II wish to emphasize the need for Immediate adjustment of ,the deficiency In the police and. firemen's pjenslon funds and the placing of. the same upon a fixed and permanent financial basis by the passage or Senate bill 2017 and House bill 8637.

(Continued from First Page.) morning, and the suffragettes will pre sent their side of the case also. The contract for the Avenue stands, awarded to William S. RUey, came in for much discussion. The meeting de cided that if Mr. Riley had offered W.000 with a view to capitalizing the pageant feature and "holding up' the women, he ought not to have the concession. Chairman Peter, of the reviewing stands' committee, declared there had been no consideration of the March 3 proposi tion when the contract was promised to Mr. Riley at a figure about ?2.000 higher than four years ago. s i A letter from Robert V. Bains, re questing the return of his 4100 sub scription to the inaugural fund, created quite a sensation. Mr. Bains declared he made the contribution with the un derstanding that there would be an inaugural ball. Chairman Thorn, nf the finance committee, denied any such arrangement. The committee unan imously decided that in view 'of Air. Bain's feeling In the matter; the uub scriptlon ought to be returned. The following appropriations, all rep resenting increases to better the Inau gural plans, were voted: Illumination committee, $7,000; fireworks committee, t3,600; finance committee. SIS; civic or ganizations committee, $1,000. The Illumination and street decora' tlon committees reported a compre hensive plan of decoration of the city. Green bunting will predominate In the Avenue- decorations. Malor General Wood and R. N. Har per reported satisfactory progress In their committees. . The fact that there Is considerable opposition felt among members of Con gress to the use of the Capitol for the proposed inaugural reception developed today. The matter was discussed In the meeting of the joint Inaugural com mittee yesterday. At that meeting it was the unanimous feeling that the committee had not power to go ahead and make Inaugural reception arrange ments. However, in addition to this, there Is a feelinir amonsr some of the committee and it is said to be quite strong in totn nouses mat it would be unwise to have a reception in the Capi tol because, of the danger of destruc tion of statuary, vandalism to pic tures, and the like. While this, -feeling exists, prominent Republican Senators said today they did not see how anybody on .their side could .well offer any opposition to the use of the Capitol. If a resolution for its use for a reception Is put In, it Is expected to pass unless Democratic op position manifests itself. Senator Martlne said today ha. had not fully made up his mind, whether .to In troduce a resolution for the use of the Capitol for an Inaugural reception. He said he found there was considerable opposition to the use of the Capitol for that purpose. At the same time, his present inclination Is toput in the reso lution. 1106 G St Specials to Get a Beautiful Dress 10 Velvet Dresses, sizes 16 to 36, sold up to $45 $15 sold up to $12, go at. go at TWO MEETINGS WILL CONSIDER APPOINTMENTS National Theater Confab This Afternoon to Be Non-Parti-san in Nature. - (Continued from First Page.) atlll discussion of It In Senate circles, and while this continues the friends of the new appointees have some hope.
