This provi- on resulted in the objection voiced v President Wilson, who held that it | would take from the President the power to remove executive officials. The offices of controller and assist- ant controller of the Treasury would be abolished under the revised bill, and in their stead offices of controller keneral and assistant controller gen- eral would be created. The measure approved yesterday by the .’_ng,l? would permit their removal by joint congressional resolution. Objecting to the fixing of the sal- ary of the assigtant director of the budget at $9.008, Senator Harrison of Mississippi offered an amendment to reduce it to $7.500, saying he was sure “some long, lean, lanky, hungry republican would accept the office at that salary.” Senator McCormick accepted the amendment and it was agreed to. hoard of fire insurance underwriter: died suddenly Sunday night from the Mects of @ struggle last November with an alleged burglar. who entere his home, 5106 14th street northwest.

MRS. HOPKINS INSPIRES SAN JUAN WOMEN’S CLUB Mrs. Archibala Hopkins, Washing- tonian and leader in civic activities, is given the credit for launching a movement for a women's club in San Juan, Porto Ric in a dispatch re- ceived here today. Mrs. Hopkins, who, with hor hus- band, Gen. Hopkins, has been spend- ing the winter with her son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. lawrence qukms. almost got away without being discovered. San Juan, however, finally woke up to the fact that she was about to leave, and In the last few days of her stay sha was urgent- ly requested to relate moma of her experiences along the line of organ- izing charitles and philanthrepic in- stitutions. A meeting was held at the governor's palace, at which she delivered an address. The result of the meeting was the starting of a new organization, ac- cording to the dispatch, to be known as the Woman's Clvie Club of Porto Rico. A number of prominent women of the clty were present, and the ad- dress |8 credited with having ereated the Inspiration for a woman's clab. Relating the incident, Miss Edith “The object of the new club is to bring the influential and leading women of tha island together in such a way as to make it possible te have a bureau of charities, better health conaitions and to do away with many of the conditions which now exist and are most detrimental from every point of view, The women ef Porto Rico, and especially those of San Juan, owe a vote of thanks to Mra Hopkins for her interest in their com- munity and her desire to pee them working together in one common cause which is to represent better conditions in general for Perto Rico.” BUDGET BILL REPORTED.
