The day was dark and rainy but a blg crowd had arrived before the premier. Mr. Wilson was astir early morning and was busy with h retary. There were number of American callers and the Duke of | Connaught and Sir Richard Herschell visited the palace before the arrival | of the premier, Secretary of state Balfour walked over from the for- eign office to attend the conferenca The company invited to meet Presi- dent Wilson for the luncheon a ranged to be held today at Premier Lloyd George's residence comprised a small gathering of elder statesmen, | the personnel including the leaders in the last and the present government | and the heads of three of the political | parties, conservative, liberal and labor. Notable Guests Present. The luncheon gave occasion for the first visit by former Premier Asquith {to the premier's official idence since the liberal leader resigned office. Arthur Henderson, the leader, also a guest, is lik sup- porter of the idea of a league of na tions, as advanced by President Wil- son. The President’s conference with | Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Secretary Balfour lasted until nearly | 1:30 o'clock, when the conferees left in separate motor cars for the | premier’s residence in Downing street. The premier ps out the ce | gates first, and about 3,000 who, despite the rain, had to see the president, gave Mr. George a passing cheer President Wilson, accompanied by Sir Charles Cust. the King's equerr followed. His car proceeded slowly and the people repeatedly cheered him | as the car p d down the Mall to- | wards the official residence of the pre- mier. The president smiled, bowed nd lifted his hat. It was 1:14 o'clock when the presi- rent drove up to No. 10 Downing | street. He was the tenth of the guests for the prime minister's luncheon to rrive there. He was given an en- thusiastic greeting from the crowd. Of the luncheon guests, including representatives of all parties, the Earl of Reading, was the first to arrive He was followed by former Premier ! | Asquith, the Marquis of Crewe, John | i W. Davis, American ambassador, Earl Curzon and Viscount Bryce. The pre- | mier himself, who was detained at the conference in Buckingham Palace, came next, and after him Arthur Hen- derson, the labor leader and Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the chequer. President Loudly Cheered. Premier Lloyd George and Balfowr were cheered by crowd. but it was evident that President Wilson they were for. Rear Admiral Grayson, who corted the president, stepped out the motor cor and was followed the president himself. Frantically cheerir surged by the police right up to the entrance of the house, Swarming about the president’s car. | President Wilson, smiling genially, | raised his hat and bowed. The crowd cried for a speech but the president, still smiling and waving his hand, dis- appeared into the house. The entrance room was especially decorated for the occasion. From the public buildings in White- | hall and from the Foreign Office and 0. 10, the Stars and Stripes and the Union Jack waved together.

It is very meeting of probable that at the next the common councll n strong effort will be made to have aa appropriation for the crection of a trolley waiting station included in the appropriations for the ensuing fiscal ear. For vears there has been agi- tation in this city for the erection of a walting station at Central park. This is the central point of trolley service in the city and all the tral- leys start from this point. For years | there has been nothing done, and un- | less, fortunately, there have been some stores open near Centrdl park the patrons have had to stand around | in all kinds of weather waiting for their car. The proposition has been | discussed several times and has been taken up with the Connecticut com- pany by the city. The city wanted the trolley company fo pay a small rental for the use of such a building if it were erected. It understood that plans for such an improvement have been mad he subject is also agi- tated now, inasmuch as a petition ha Leen received by the common council | asking t the trolley station located | on Main street be removed from its| present location because of the abus- fve language used around it.
