VALDOSTA TOON VALDOSTA, OA^ SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1012. LETTERS FULL OF GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON News of Interest From the Capital of the States (By Robert Compton.) Waahingtbn, D, O., Jan. 23.—Tb* «tlr caused by v Postmaster General Hitchcock’s pronouncement In favor of government ownership of the Nation’s telegraph lines has only partially subsided. A feeling pre> The latest recruit to these ranks Is Miss Helen Taft, the studious daughter* of the President. Her activity Is with the Consumer* League of the District of Columbia, a branch of the National organisa tion whose object Is to eliminate “sweat shop'* and tenement made wearing apparel from stores throughout the country. She will shortly head the legislative com mittee of the local body. One of Miss Taft’s close friends, Miss Mar ian Oliver, daughter of the Assis tant Secretary of War, Is head of a mlssiop sewing school for young wo men v f'- Interested with her are Miss Miltfctttd Marshall, daughter of Capiat 'Marshall, U. S. A., and nee Leupp, daughter of Commissioner Leupp. be made in this con- law making the Fsuse of the American tble offense. The War officials are hopeful will lead state leg- ke up the subject and laws. MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the Army, Is strongly in vails that before the dose of the present congress an attempt will be made by the Democrats and the In surgent members of both parties to force the president into some decla ration either for or against the proposition. Any way It Is viewed, the situation is ticklish for the president. An avowal for govern- , „ . . . . ment ownership undoubtedly would '"f UEOd for Mr « rtl ' l ”« pnrpo^u. : Okefenokee Swamp upon n„ anxious ANXIOUS DAY WAS SPENT IN THEOREM Waycross Hunters were Surrounded by Bears ON AN ISLAND IN THE HK VHT OF THE SWAMP THEY BEGAN TO FEAR THAT THEY WOULD NOT GET OUT ALIVE. The following story of experiences ths wilds of the Okeflnokee Swamp was sen*, out from Waycross by ths correspondent of the dally papers from that city: ’Cut off from escape by water be cause of tho presence of huge alii* favor of such national legislation. gators, and threatened on land by He contends that the flag should , , . . , ... „ „ „ , several large bears, a party of Way- never be used as a covering or as a drapery, and Is opposed to Its be- cross hunters, just back from ths alienate the big business interests opposed, whose aid is looked for in tho coming presidential campaign, while a negligible stand or an out and out avowal against the princi pal would cause a further breach between the Administration and the radical element of the party. While the president has thus far refrained from expressing himself publicly, *t is known that Mr. Hitch cock’s recommendation has caused him considerable embarrassment. He feels, it Is, said, that his Cabi net officer should have delayed until a more favorable time, that Is, when the political effect of the recom mendation would have been less likely to do Injury. At the White House it is given out that tho pres ident, . in his coming message to Congress, will merely forward the Postmaster* General’s recommenda tion without comment. The common practice on shipboard (lay on an island in Minnie Lake, be- to spread the flag over the chap lain’s table or desk during services Is condem n*d at some quarters as misuse of. the flag. This calls up tho question of Mr. Hitchcock’s future status in the cabinet A report that he wlll^rs- r-'siga when the affair ’ blows over/* or shortly before the meeting of the Chicago convention In June, la given considerable credence here. It lacks White House confirmation, however. Color Is given the report because of the understanding that there has been friction between the President and Mr. Hitchcock since the meeting of the Republi can National Committee here sev eral weeks ago. At that time Harry New, of Indiana, wa-* named chalr- mnn of tue commit! o on arrange ments, despite the vigorous protests of Mr. Hitchcock. Then Secretary Tillies, who is the President’s polit ical advisor, and Mr. Hitchcock dis agreed over the control of the Alabama patronage. The adminis tration sided with Hllles. But in the face of this apparent -upture, the President Insists that his relations with Mr. Hitcncock are of the friendliest character and that his cabinet status will und r- go no change. The President is mindful of Mr. Hitchcock’s valuable services, and is making plain his in tention to concede a point to pre serve harmony. Senator Porter J. McCumber, of North Dakota, is the latest public man to jdjtn the ranks of the auto mobile enthusiasts. Moreover, Jie tween Floyd’s and Billie’s Islands al most in tho heart of the famous swamp. “Among those on the trip were L B. Drane, Calvin W. Parker S. J.

'they entered the swamn near Folkston, using canoes for the drives his pwn car, taking the stand J journey to the first island. No big that the employment of a chauffeur Is a .luxury not In keeping with Re publican flmplicity. MaJ. Archibald Butt, the Presi dent’s military aide, is one of the few Army Officers to escape the Sec retary of fer's order sending those •who havnj&Msn stationed In Wash ington forfmore than four years back to active duty, which meant, “back to the saddle." MaJ. Butt, besides being a general favorite in Washington society, Is too useful to the President’s social arrangements to be spared. . Representative A. W. Lafferty, of Oregon, is a member of Congress who {despises conventional attire He insist# on wearing a cap j^r or dinary purposes and declares he will never be cajoled Into adopting the "silk hat habit for dress oc casions."

" "Another hunting party is being organized here to visit the same 'points again and endeavor to locate the hear that caused a change in this party’s plans, a numer of prominent state officials will make this trip, among them being Dr. 8.
