The White House says no decision has been reached on which church President Wilson and his family will attend during their Washington stay. The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church is favored by many in the family, with Church of the Covenant and First Presbyterian also mentioned as possibilities. The family is expected to worship at New York Avenue next Sunday, though officials have not issued instructions. Also, Samuel K Upperman filed suit in District Supreme Court against Washington Railway and Electric Company seeking 16000 damages for injuries to H W Upperman in 1912 after an accident at Ninth and H streets. The decedent died two days later.
