- THE SUNDAY STAR, JANUARY 23, 1921—PART 1 GESSFORD 13 BUSY ON POLIGE PLANS Will Arrange Adequate Pro- tection March 4 Despite Lack of Funds. Maj. Henry L. Gessford, superin- tendent of police, will confer with the District Commissioners soon to discuss plans for protecting the in- augural crowds which are expected here, despite the fact that there is to_be no big parade March 4. It is feared that the police de- partment will not be able to perform the work without assistance. Con- gress has refused to appropriate money to increase the force during inangural week, and, unless some such action 1s taken, it is stated, no detectives from other parts of the country will be here to keep tab on pickpockets and house robbers. Po- lice officials feel certain that the services of such persons will be needed. Although the inaugural procession promises to be unusually short, local officials say the streets in the busi ness section, especially Pennsylvania ~ avenue and the vicinity of the Capi- tol and White House, are. certain to be_crowded. 1 Many persons here recall the seri- ous situation of eight vears ago, when the crowd surged through po- lice lines and injured a.number of persons. They are anxious that there should be no repetition of that un- fortunate affair. It has been suggested to Maj. Gess- ford that, in view of the small num- ber of persons who will take part in the inaugural parade, it might be well to have them remain on the north side of the Avenue, hoth on the way to and from the Capitol. Should Congress fail to provide for the employment of additional men it is stated, it is probable that Maj. Gessford will appeal to the District National Guard and War Department for mounted soldiers. Members of the Home Defense League and Boy Scouts also may be called upon to lend a helping hand. Both the Com- missioners and Maj. Gessford are sat- | isfied they will be able to increase | the force in some way. “QUIET DAY FOR WOMEN” AS PRE-LENTEN SERVICE Acting Rector of St. John’s Hopes to Bring Young and Old Together. CANON GEORGE WILLIAM DOUGLAS. Interest has been aroused in Wash- ington church circles by the plans for “a quiet day for women,” the Lenten preparation” service, which is to be held at the residence of Mrs. William J. Boardman, 1501 P street northwest, February 4. An explanation of the scope and method for this service, un- usual in that it is to be held at an uptown residence, instead of in’ St. John’s Episcopal Church, of which Mrs. Boardman is a member, is being sent out by Canon George William Douglas, the acting rector of the church. “They say that young married ‘women are falling away from their association with the older women,” Dr. Douglas said last night, interview. “By holding this Lenten preparation service at Mrs. Board- man’s residence we hope to give an opportunity for the midde-aged and the younger women to find themselves together again, for at least part of a day, in what I may call a spiritual fellowship of silence. I am told that the younger women are uneasy, still by the war activities, not set- tled down in their minds. We hope at this service to bring them together again with the older women. Very many persons have found the practice of ‘the qulet day’ a means of realiz- ing, as never before, the presence of God, and of applying their religion to the practical difficulties and burdens of life, which often cause worry, anx- fety and illness. Perhaps in this particular ‘winter of our discontent,’ ‘when there is unusual disturbance throughout the world, the observance of ‘the quiet day’ in Washington will be found especially helpful.” Dr. Douglas sald the service to be held at Mrs Broadman's yesidence February 4 is not necessarily for the parishioners of St. John's Church only. Although the service is to be heid under the auspices of St. John's, Mrs. Broadman, within the capacity of her drawing room, will be glad to send a card to those interested in attend- ing. Very Rev. Rousmaniere, dean of St. Paul cuhedn-l. Boston, who is to conduct the service, will ar- rive in Washington February 3, to be the guest of friends here. Dr. Doug: Canon of the Cathedr: here during the year’s leave of ab- sence which has been granted to Rev, Roland Cotton Shith because of ill health, was the rector of St. John's twenty-seven years ago.
