[ apostie always Longworth’s Baby Named for Apostle Paul, Mother Says Young Paulina Will Have Chance to Be Herself Under Name. Br the Associated Press CHICAGO, February 18.—Paul the has been a favorite biblical character with Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, it was dis- closed today, and she would have named her baby Paul had ecircum- stances not dictated otherwi So the name “Paulina,” chosen yester- day, was decided on for two principal reasons, her friends said, because it is @ variation of the name of the dis- ciple, and because the name will pre vide no odious comparisons, as though the name were that of a person of | great achlevement “Poor T. R. jr.” Mrs. Longworth is said to have remarked, referring to her brother, Theodore Roosevelt, “every time he crosses the street some one has something to say be- cause he doesn’t do it as his father would—and if he navigates nicely, then they say it was just as T. R would have done it.” So the baby, her mother desires, shall grow up with a personality of her own. PEOPLE’S COUNSEL MEASURE 0. K.’D BY HOUSE COMMITTEE (Continued from First Page that the committee has before it the people’s counsel bill,. providing for such services at $4,000 a year. Rep- resentative Rlanton offered this in substitution for the other public util- ities measure and his proposed amendment, but increasing the salary to_$7,500. Representative Keller of Minnesota argued that the Public Utilities Com- mission should be distinct from the Board of District Commissioners. Representative Zihlman told of the work effectively done by the people's counsel in Maryland in getting price reduced and standard of quality maintained in public utility sérvice. Representative Lampert sald he agreed with Representative Blanton's proposal as a step in the right di- rection, but that ultimately there must be a separate commission, as Representative Keller proposed. The bill was ordered favorably reported and Representative Zihiman will write the report. The committee then ordered a fav- orable report on the bill authorizing that parg of Thirty-fourth street on the property of the Natlonal Cathe- dral be closed. Representative Lam- pert and Blanton, Zihlman and Gil- bert spoke in favor of such action. Rep. Gilbert was instructed to write the report. Representative Underhill then proposed that the bill officially recognizing the Women's Bureau in the police department be referred to a subcommittee. Representative Blan- ton strenuously objected saying that this was an effort to administer slow poison. Representative Zihlman advised the committee that a number of pro- tests had been received and that Sec- retary of Labor Davis recommended several changes in the bill. Objections Ralsed. Representative Hammer of North Carolina and Representative Gasque of South Carolina questioned if thi bill is so important, “why have we not heard of it before now and why are not hearings held?” Representative Underhill sald that he Is prepared to offer a number of important amendments if serious con- sideration is given to this legislation. He spoke particularly against the fact that this measure gives this board an independent status and against plac- Ing a graduate of a social workers’ school at its head. Representative Gilbert, while expressing a favorable disposition toward such legislation, said that objection had been regis- tered with him by the Travelers’ Aid, | and that the committee ought to take time to study the subject thoroughly. Representative Blanton then sug- gested the appointment of a commit- tee of five to report back Friday morning, but when Representative Underhill called attention that there is to be a public hearing .on this question in the boardroom of the Dis- trict committee to receive the report from the subcommittee on the Wom- en's Police Board bill was postponed until Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock.

Considerable confusion has been caused by a misunderstanding as to the place where the concert tickets are to be sold. It was announced in the newspapers that the admission cards were on sale at the headquar- ters of the inaugural committee In the Willard Hotel. This was immediately accepted by hundreds of persons to mean the Willard ticket office and as @ result that place has been besieged for tickets that it has not got. . The place to go for the tickets s in the gridiron room of the Willard Hotel. That room is at the head of the steps, leading from Peacock alley, or entering from the F street door is the first room on the right- hand side.

Word was recelved from Richmond today that Gov. Trinkle of Virginia would bring a full uniformed escort. One hundred dismounted troops and 50 mounted troops will accompany him, in addition to a band of 52 pieces, 20 officer aldes and probably a civilian escort of 100 persons. In another communication it was unoffi- clally stated that two companies of the Richmond Blues are coming to Washington to attend the Inaugura- tion en masse, whether they are per- mitted to march or not. Kxpected to Attend Ball. Virtually all of the governors who will attend the inauguration will also attend the charity inaugural ball, to be held at the Mayflower the evening of Inauguration day, Five have al- ready signified their intention of of- ficlally representing their States at the fete and some time during the evening they will each be entertained by Vice President and Mrs. Dawes in their official box.
