Some confusion and amusement were furnished due to the change because the train was two and half hours behind scheduled time. At Lexington, Ky., Almas band gave a brief public concert. No little ex- citement was caused in the first day of the journey by the discovery of two couples aboard who were on their honeymoon. Miss Esther Gwynnial Rees’and John O. Johnson were mar- ried at the home ol the.bride just ANNUAL one hour before the special left Washington. When their secret crept out, rice and other wedding atten- tions were not lacking. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Biggs were the other couple and, although they had been married a weée bit longer, they shared all the glories and attentions of a fresh matrimonial diversion. They will doubtless furnish intcrest for the large party long after San Francisco hits been reached. Mr. and Mrs. John- son have announced that they will be at home tc their friends at 2112 F street northwest after July 15. !

The present controversey was pre- cipitated by the announcement of the board of guardians several months| ago that after July 1 it would have it no further need for the Industrial Home School. The only step which the Comis- missioners have taken in the matteér{ was to ask the board of charities to investigate and report on the ques tion of what should be done with the home school during the next fiscal year If the board of guardians has not further use for it.
