WANT REASON FOR DISCHARGE AT NAVY YARD

Secretary Metcalf May Have to Explain to Con gress the “Furlough ing” of Men. Labor Leaders and Com mittee Members Said to Be Indignant at Action. Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Met calf may be called upon by Congress to explain why 200 men were discharged from the Washington Navy Yard after he had distinctly stated to the House Committee on Appropriatiofis that there would be ne discharges if Congress granted his request for an emergency appropriation of $2,000,000.

This predicament in which the Sacre tary finds himself is due to his change of mind regarding the disposition of the money at the very liast moment. Certain miemberg of the House Com mittee on Appropriations and Labor leaders in Washington are sald to be indigrart hecause of the methods em ployed by Secretary of the Navy Met calf in securing the appropriation.

‘Had Committee’s Support.

The labor leaders charge that the Sec retary, by pleading the cause of the employes of the yard, many of whom werg supposed to be marked for dis cliarge because of 2 lack of funds, cn listed the sympathy and support of the committee.

The emergency appropriation bill had scarcely been favorably reported upon when Assistant Secretary Newberry was instructed to get into touch with the Navy Yard officials for the purpuse of deciding upon a curtatlment of expenses there. After Mr. Newberry had been informed of the situation there he or dered the discharge of 200 men.

It now develops that when Mr. Metcalf appeared before the House committee and was asked if the passage of the $2, 000,000 emergency appropriation wouid avert the discharge of Washington Navy Yard employes he replied that ft would With that understanding the Appropriations. Committee made a fa vorable report on the bill and Chairman Tawney went on the floor of the House and urged ite passage.

Metcalf Alarmed.

Favorable Senate action on the bill was the result of the statements made io the House committee, although there are indications that Mr. Metcaif be came alarmed at the position in which Lhe found himself.

3 On the day upon which the Sehate committee voted on the bill, Mr. Metcalf sent a letter to the chairman of the committee, in which he explained that he could not make good his promise to keep the men employed at the yard. He further explained that the money would he used to pay outstanding bills long overdue and for new outlays for armor and armament. This letter did not reach the Capitol until after the Senate had passed the bill

i

In addition to the above facts {it has been learned that a copy of his statements was submitted to Secretary Metcalf by the Public Printer. In the record of the committee hearing now on file there is no reference to any promise made by the Secretary that the interests of the navy yard men would be protected and that they would not be discharged.

Ask About Discharges.

At the Navy Department today Roy H. Moses, private secretary to Mr. Metcalf, admitted that the House Com mitte on Appropriations asked the Sec retarv if the men would be kept em ployed at the Washi n navy yard if Congress passed the bill asked for

“What reply did Mr. Metcalf make?" Ar. Moses was asked. “He answered that there would be no discharges,” he replied. “How do you account, then, for the discharge of 200 machinists almost im- mediately after Congress had reported favorably on the $2,000,000 bill, which vir tually guaranteed them work?” “Because there is very little work to be done at the navy yard at the pres ent time. As a matter of fact it did not appear at the time Mr. Metcalf ap peared hefore the committee that the diecharges were imminent. Mr. New berry had been handling that matter and had been in frequent consultation with the navy yard officials. But I can say that if Congress had not passed the bill the number oi discharges would have heen much greater. At the time ve 2sked for the money the big private steel plants were asking for money for the work they had dome and were do ing and we had only $500,000 of the $10,040.00 appropriation left. It was simply a question of whether the pri vate concerns would be paid or a large number of men discharged. If we had Lid up the bills of The manufacturers there would be an accumulation of in terset, which would have been costly.” Didn't Know of Changes. Mr. Moses was usked !f he had any knowledge of the changes supposed to Lave ben made by Secretary Metcalf in tie typewritten copy of the House Com mittee hearing. He replied that he had pot.

CARUSO WILL REMAIN THREE YEARS AT MET

NEW YORK. April 1.—Signor Caruso, in an interview today, said that he ex pects to sing for the next three years an amendment calling for an additional appropriation of $50,000 to be applied to

Davis was in court. There is danger of more fighting, as the situation is s‘rained to the breaking point. Many witnesses testified that Davis ran to his office, after having been assaulted by Doputy Prosecuting Attorney Tom Helin, yesterday after noon, got a large army and navy res volver, and returne( to the scene, look ing for Helm, declaring he desired to get a shot at him. Witnesses aiso testi fied that the Senator swore much. Davis went on the stand himself and charged that a cowardly attempt had bei: made to murder him, and con cluded by declaring that if defending oue’s self from assault on a Little Rock street at noon is a disturbance of peace, he is ready to pay any fine assessed against him. Police Judge Ratteree declared if the disturbance had arisen while the fight was in progress, and not after Heim hed departed, he wcou'd assess no fine, but under the circumsiinces le would assess the largest fine under the stat ute. Davis then gave notice of ~n ap veal. Senator Davis and Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Helra met on the street yes terday afternoon, and, according to Helm, Senator Davis made an insulting remark to him. Helm struck Dav's with his fist and the Senator ran to ns office. Davis declares that he went to nis office, procured his pistol, and that when he came out he saw Helm running to his swan office carrying the cane which Davis had dropped. The two men have been enemies a long time and the street fight yesterday was “he result of continued denuncia tions by Davis of Helm and others of the political faction to which the deputy prosecuting attorney belongs. During the reeent campaign Davis denounced Helm from the stump as the beneficiary of certain robberies which had been committed in the county and applied other demaging epithets to him. Bad blood has existed ever since and when the two met yesterday both lost their temper. Senator Devis issued a statement shortly aiter the occurrence, in which he said: “To my friends throughout Arkansas: There was a cold-blooded, cowardly ef fort to assassinate me today by the prosecuting attorney of this county.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1.—A riot of unemployed occurred today about the site of Hammerstein's new opera house. Several thousand men fought desper ately in the streets until repeated police charges scattered them. Many were seriously hurt.

The police were compelled to remain on guard to prevent a fresh outbreak. The neighborhood will probably be heavily patrolled for several days.

UREAG SMALLPOX GREATES TERROR IN THE SUBURBS Nine Aggravated Cases Develop in Labor ers’ Camp.

Nine aggravated cases of smallpox in the vicinity of Kensington and Glen Echo have thrown those communities into a stute of excitement, and Moat gomery county is said to be facing one of the worst epidemics of smallpox in its history. The disease had its incep tion in a camp of laborers, said to be employed by Stilson Hutchins, and its discovery today has disclosed a fearful condition. Two additional cases were found at Woodley Inn, an exclusive he tel just across from the Cathedral of 8S. Peter and Paul, Tenleytown road.

The seven cases were quarantined in

the camp, and last Monday night, when a crowd of the men's friends wer~ re fused admission to the buildings in which the infected laborers were con fined, they made a rush and attempted to break through the line of guards about the place. One man succeeded in getting through. e Mary Taylor, colored, whose home is in Washington, went out to the camp to visit some of her friends among the laburers.

Testimony more sensational than any yet submitted was giver today before the special committee In vestigating the Lilley charges of corruption of Congress by the Elec tric Boat Company by Franklin A. Taylor, a manufacturer, of Water bury, Conn., who described himself as a close friend of Representative Lilley.

Mr. Taylor made the statement that Representative Lilley, although he had been continually opposed to the use of submarines in the navy, voted for an appropriation for the purchase of such boats on the solici tation of Mr. Taylor. “How do you know this?” Mr. Taylor was asked.

i “Because Mr. Lilley came home,” said Mr. Taylor, “and said to me: “‘I voted yes, Franklin, and your face was before me when I votad.”” Told Lilley to Vote. Answering questions, he said: “I had several conversations with Representative Lilley in the fall of 1we in Waterbury and here.”

“What did you tell him?” “I told hum to vete for submarines,” replied Mr. Taylor. “I told him of the possibilities of my company getting contracts if submarines were avpropri ated for by Congress. Mr. Lilley seemed to be interested. We manufac ture air flasks which are used on boats carrying torpedoes.”

ANNA GOULD CLAIMS MILLIONS bY FIRST WEDDING Family’s Consent Not Necessary Again, Her Lawyer Contends. NEW YORK, April 1.—Mme. Anna Gould will base her Gemanad for sole possession of all the fortune left her by her father, Jay Gould, on the ground that she has already complied with the terms of his will She does not dispute the clause re quiring her, like her brothers and sis ters, to obtain the family's consent to ‘her marriage on penalty of forfeituré of one-half of her estate. But this consent was given to her marriage to Count Boni de Castellane. This is admitted ‘on both sides. Mme. Anna says once Was enough— that the estate became hers then with cut further qualificatien. She main tained she can marry Prince Helie de Sagan now without consulting anyone, or losing haif her fortune, either. It is on this ground that her lawyers will sue in her behalf if necessary, for the estate. Claim Consent Is Necessary

The Goulds, it is certain, maintain that their consent must be secured to a second or any subsequent marriage as much as to the firs: one. Whether they will care to take the matter into the courts is not so sure. It will probably depend on what the lawyers say.

It is estimated that Jay Gould left Mme. Anna about 315,000,000. Boni got away with some $3,000,000 of it, so if the Gould family has its way and she weds another count she will have only $6,000,000 coming.

The Goulds have cne advantage. The fortune is in George J. Gould's posses

Mme. Gould is still ill in her apart ments at the St. Regis, suffering from nervous breakdown, bronchitis, and stomach trouble.

SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED UNLESS PORCHES ARE BUILT peo nied tins Potomac and McCormick Buildings Need Immediate Repairs Decides Board—President Oyster Told Money Is Not Available. Temporary fire protection porches are needed around the upper iloors of the Potomac and McCormick schools, and unless the Commissioners agree to erect these immediately, the Board of Educa “tion will order that these schools be closed, probably for the remainder of the term. y #280 wv This was the tentative decision reachel at the special meeting of th board held yesterday to consider Chief Belt's re port that these schools are unsafe in their present condition. In event the Potomac school is closed, the pupils ‘will be transferred for half-day sessions 10 the Bradley school, thre blocks away. There ars no quarters, rented or other aise, available for the McCormick scihcol, and these pupils will have to be turned in the street. The board agreed, on suggestion of Assistant Superintendent Hughes, that although neither of these buildings could be permanently repaired, that porches placed around them, with the windows cut lower to act as doors, amight suffice for the remainder of the school year.

SCHOOLS WILL BE CLOSED UNLESS PORCHES ARE BUILT

y Potomac and McCormick Buildings Need Immediate Repairs Decides Board—President Oyster Told Money Is Not Available.

pd

Binge Sa Temporary fire protection porches are needed around the upper iloors of the Potomac and McCormick schools, and unless the Commissioners agrees te erect these immediately, the Board of Educa ‘tion will order that these schools be closed, probably for the remainder of the term. ee _— a mB ie re 4

This was the tentative decision reached at the special meeting of th board held yesterday to consider Chief Belt's re port that these schools are unsafe in their present condition. In evert the Potomac school is closed, the pupils ‘will be transferred for half-::ay sessions to the Bradley school, thre blocks away. There are no quarters, rented or other aise, available for the McCormick scihcol, and these pupils will have to be turned in the street. 4 The board agreed, on suggestion of Assistant Superintendent Hughes, that although neither of these buildings could be permanently repaired, that porches placed around them, with the windows cut lower to act as doors, anight suffice for the remainder of the school year. The new McCormick build ing is promised by September. The board yesterday asked the Commis pioners for $32,000 for a building to

eplace the Potomac, money for a site ving been appropriated by Congress. No Money for Porches. There seemed to be some doubt among board members as to whether the Com missioners would allow the porches to be built from the contingent repair fund. Captain Oyster said that he had broached the subject to them ars being the only remedy in sight and Tad been Informed that the money could not be taken from the fund as the most of it had been assigned for other things. If the Commissioners hold to this decision the board voted yesterday to close the schools without further delay.

Captain Oyster in discussing the con ditions at these two buildings, both puilt in 1869 and conceded to be the worst in the city said: Persian “In 1904 these conditions were pre sented to the District authorities. Noth s been done to any of the build ferred to them except to two or f the three-story buildings. Many

250,000 MINERS OUT OF WORK me Suspension Comes Just as Mitchell Retires From Office. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., April 1.—From reports to headquarters of the United Mine Workers this morning, it seems that 250,000 men are today taking their first enforced vacation of several vears, The suspension may last sevetal months,

John Mitchell, at a banquet of the national executive board, given for the retiring officers, relinquished his office to Thomas I. Lewis, now president. 1f there was any factional feeling between them it was not shown gt the banquet. 1

Lewis announced changes i =*5 office force. The most important selection is that of William Scaife, of Springfield, IJll.,, who succeeds Samuel Sexton as editor of the Mine Workers Journal, the official organ. Scaife is connected with the Illinois Bureau of Statistics. t

President lewis discontinued the office of statistician, which has been held by Chris Evans. He said he did not see the need of the office. Pres! dent Lewis, who is not telling the pub

CHILE WILL SEEK AMERICAN MARKET Republic Plans Establish ment of Fast Steam ship Line.

r

l Chile «is taking steps to bring her markets into cleser touch with New Xork by the establishment of a fast steamship line, according to Alfred A. Winslow, United States consul at Val paraiso.

an a a a Se

A bill has been introduced in‘o the Chilean congress empowering the Presi dent cf Chile to enter into a coniract for a swift line of steamers betwecn Valparaisc and Panama. It is expected two beats a month will be provided for if the bill goes through. Mr. Winslow says the importance of a quicker trade service between Valparaiso and the United States is fully understood in Chile. He says, too, there is an open ing in- Chile for nearly everything in the line of manufactures, as but little is maagufactured in Chile. He regards Chile as extremely ricn in natural re sources and as developing rapidly.

2] 4 i ce ES PF Te Bo woe i nar ln Should such a new steamship line be established, Mr. Winslow points out it would materially shorten the time for mail and passengers from New York to Buenos Ayres and Montevideo, via the Trans-Andean railway from Valparaiso to Buenos Ayres. Valparaiso is almost directly south of Pittsburg, and in order to reach Valparaiso, shipping need now vary much more than miies from a direct southern line.

HALF DEAD FROM GAS, GIRL SAVES WHOLE FAMILY

7 NEW YORK, April 1.—Nathan Zim merman and his sister, Mrs. 1da Balast ofsky, owe the lives of themselves and their children to a servant girl, Dora Friedman, who, when she awoke almost overcome by gas from a leaking meter, ran, clad only in her night clothes, to the home of Dr. Corbeit, at 336 Alex ander avenue, and there collapsed after telling the doctor that the family was overcome by gas

Leaving the girl to be treated by an assistant, Dr. Corbett ran to the Zim merman home, calling a policeman on the way. By heroic work they saved the lives of Zimmerman and his three children and Mrs. Balastofsky.

Onan Saterday Evenings Aldrich Bill Needs Hero Leaders Keep Hands Off Chairman Fowler Logical Selection, But He Says He “Can't See” His Way Clear to Act—Others Too Busy. Who wants a chance to be a Fea hero? Who will head the fight in the House for the salvation of the Aldrich cur rency bill? That's what the Republican leaders of that body want some one to tell them, None of the big leaders of the House regards himself as fit, Republican Floor Leader Payne admits that what he knows about currency could be told in as few words as‘the Lord's prayer; Dalzell never got away from the study of the tariff long enough to learn about finance; Sherman is in the hospital; and Tawney is busy with “appropriations.” Anyhow it might not be altogether popular to go into the next election with the tag, “father of a Wall Street meas ure,” hanging to one's coat tail. Chairman Fowler, of the Committee on Banking and Currency, would be the logical selection, but he *‘can’t see” the Aldrich bill with a microscope.

Wat son has been condemned by the State Federation of Labor, but the contest for the nomination is a vigorous one, with the chances of each candldate about even.

Particular pains are being taken by the resolutions committee to frame a suitable platform. Preliminary work consumed today’s session.

TEER 222 THE WASHINGTON TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1908. 3 other Republican members of that com mittee, only “Uncle Jim’ McKinney of Illinois, and Theodore E. Burton of Ohio. did not go on record as favorable to the Fowler bill by voting to rcport that measure out of committee. The former never made 1 speech unless driv en into a corner and punished. At pres ent the available material for step father of the Aldrich bill is limited to Burion. But even the Buckeye states man is not in love with the bill. He purposes to amend it. In their present predicament, however, the House lead ers are said to be willing to submit the bill to any sort of amendments that will be instrumental in getting it through. Any little dents to which It might be subjectéd in the House could be eradicated without much labor in conference with the nate. Burton is regard as one of the ablest debaters in Congress. With Fow ler determined to have his bill enacted into law, there are assured some sharp contests on the floor. The House lead ers are confident that Burton can make wowler look like an amateur—if he will only consent to tackle the job. PLANS ARE COMPLETED FOR G.W. U. MINSTREL

E. P.

Probably the most popular feature on the program will be the appearance of that re nowned and well-known citizen, Dorsey Foultz, he of the quick knife hand, and elusive get-away. A characteriza tion of the major and superintendent of the District Police Department has also beén arranged for, and the two. will be the features of the bill. JO0-MILE CANNON LAUDED BY BRITISH rv Wonderful in Its Work and Simple in Construc tion, i LONDON, April 1.—Government ord nance experts have reported confirming the claim by W. 8..Simpson, a well known metallurgist, that he has in vented an e’ectric cannon capable of throwing a projectile 300 miles. “The gun will revolutionize naval con struction,” says Colonel Maude, one of the foremost of the authorities engaged in the still pending tests of the weapon. “It will force the abandonment of ar mor and make speed the prime requisite in fighting vessels. “Buch is its sinaplicity of construction that the resources of any ordinary ma chine shop are sufficient for its con Structicn. With it Paris could he bom barded from the English coast. “It is a fact that the gun represents as great an advance over others in use today,” Suppleineits inventor Simpson, “as the electric light represents over the candle. “It is not only simple in construction, but can be controlled with the greatest ease, It is cheaper than existing artil lery and will last 100 times longer.” he projectile develops a velocity of 30,000 feet per second and the experts also support Simpson's assertion that the gun will discharge fifty shells of 500 pounds each per minute. It will likewise throw one projectile a long and a second a short distance. The basic force being electricity the discharge is without flash, smoke, or recoil. —Qur Spring Suits —at $25 are good —enough in fabric —and original —enough in design —to sell at $30 and —$35.

There have been few more ample justifications for Governmental in terference with trade conditions than that afforded by the recent course of livestock and meat prices in this country. It was the livestock of the Middle West which, rushed to market in unprecedented quantities, and thence rushed to foreign consumers who were demanding it, did more +dhen any other single factor to ‘bring in the great stream of money that floated the country off the commercial reefs of last fall's de pression. The farmers had the stock, the market wanted it; noth ing else could so readily be turned to money. But the tremendous marketing caused a great slump in prices. They went down something like 40 per cent. It seemed certain that such a drop could nct fail to pro duce corresponding reaction in the prices of meats to the consumer. But did it? At the very time when prices of livestock at the great +Western markets were lowest and ipts were heavy, there went forth a chorus of complaint from ‘the carnivorous element of the pop wulafion about the advance of meat prices, It was the same every where. Nobody seemed to be exact ly responsible; but it happened, and happened simultaneously in all ‘quarters of the land. Now, following the heavy sales which may always be expected on a falling market, the movement of stock has contracted, and prices are going up by leaps and bounds. With them the price of meat is going up in about the same proportion. The situation is tuis: when the price of stock was falling, the price of meat didn't fall. The consumer got not one cent's benefit. But when the price of stock began rising the price of meat kept steady pace with it. There seems to be need of expla nation, and 1t is respectfully sug gested that the Bureau of Corpora tions is there for the purpose of extracting information on such sub jects, The Evidences of Revolt. It would be useless for even the most besotted devotee of the pres ent conditions in the national House of Representatives to deny that the movement for reform of the rules is gaining ground. It is gaining be cause the country at large is com ‘ing to understand better than ever before how much those rules have degraded the House from its in tended position as the popular body. The truth is that the Senate, not the House, is today most nearly the popular branch of the Government. The Senate's rules are cumbersome, and at times become the instrument ‘of delay and filibustering. But, after all, it takes more people to conduct a real filibuster under the ‘Senate rules than it does to operate ‘a complete holdup in the House. For a good many years it has been thé fashion to muck-rake the Senate, to lay at its door the fail ures of Government to respond to the popular will, to assume that it had degenerated into a millionaires’ ‘elub of representatives of special interests. The thing has been over done, and today there is revulsion of opinion. The Senate is coming to be recognized as the effective leg islative body. Perhaps it has no higher average of ability or of good ‘intentions than the House possesses, “but it has steadfastly refused to tie its hands and paralyze its abilities with rules such as manacle the one time representative branch. It is now the Senate to which the nation ‘looks to do the real formulative work on all progressive, construe tive legislation. The Senate reha bilitated itself in the country’s con fidence and esteem by its handling of the rate bill. It has been gaining ground ever since, while the House has just as certainly been losing. The number of changes needed in the House rules, in order to make it once more a representative and self governing body, is small. The de mand that they be made is growing every day, and in every constituency in the nation—not excepting even the Danville and Pittsburg districts. The protest has become so strong that at least it is safe to say the Democrats, if they'control the next House, will not dare readop® the present rules unchanged. They will have to concession oe)

the demand for better conditions, and ‘to their own past professions of reform intentions. The purpose of rules is to pro mote business, not to prevent it. The utility of-committees is to. aid in dispatch of legislation, not to serve as dark pockets in which it may be lost. The presiding officer should be the servant of the House, not its master. The Venezuela Complications. There is no doubt that President Castro is a good deal of a pest, but it is still rather uncertain whether he is not also a good deal of a pa triot, and rather an enlightened person as to the international equi ties. Castio is rated by different students as everything from a char latan and a despot usurper to a statesman and a great national leader. He is the enfant terrible of American diplomacy. He is com monly supposed to be somethmz more than half wrong, but he keeps enough right on his side and keeps the wrong so beclouded in uncer tainty that it is difficult to reach a secure conclusion as to the merits of a case against him. The insignificance of Castro's power is one of the factors which make it possible for him to strut and declaim and avoid chastisement. The United States has intervened in his country’s behal{ when the Euro pean world was involved; it has ‘been extremely considerate and slow to wrath when merely Ameri con concerns were at stake. Castro ‘has taken advantage of this situa tion repeatedly; unfair and unrea sonable advantage. He seems to imagine that immunity will be ex tended to him for any excesses; and possibly he suspects that the United Statesewill not care to em ploy extreme means in managing him. In truth, chastisement of Castro ‘is well-nigh an impossible proposi tion. It isn't practicable to do it by commercial embargo, because Vene zuelan commerce isn’t important enopgh to make this seriously effec ‘tive. A fleet can’t shoot very far in land, and an army that could march ‘inland and make itself really feit ‘would be an expensive affair. When it had made its punitive expedition and been withdrawn, the face of things would be unchanged. It ‘would be like stabbing a sponge with a stiletto, trying to find a vital part. There would be nothing in it all for the United States, but a seri ous risk of its dignity, a heavy ex pense, and the possibility of having finally to garrison the turbulent country in order to collect, after long years of effort, the indemnity that would have to be assessed to pay the expenses of the enterprise.

Naturalism as Japan—with the rest of the world—is coming to un derstand it, gets this jolt from the Tokyo Yorodzu Choho: Recently a violent current of thought has been spreading over our countiv. It is naturalism, wnich has {its earnest advocates among our novelists. They seem to think that human life would not be worth a straw if there were no sensual pleasures. They would, there fore, go on spending thelr whole energy and their efforts to depict the dark side of life in the most naked manner. It js not necessary to state that flection written, by such novelists is of vicious character. Even grown-up persons will not be safe from its bad influence. Indeed, these novelists are the mes sengers of Beelzebub putting on the masks of smiling angels sent to tempt men: they have a magical power by which they can put men into a state of anaesthesia and lead them all along the course of temptation to the habituation of fallen angels. If man is caught by them, his destiny will be Ee As Such books as they write are the most terrible enemy of young people. Every household should build an iron wall to keep out fmmoral novels. Of the immoral novel ithe “Yo rodzu,” or the “Choho,” whichever it may be, speaks truly. Every househould should build an iron wall to keep them out. He who said “Lead us not into temptation,” ‘had full insight into the nature of ‘the human. But of naturalism, our Japanese contemporary does not ‘talk so well. Naturalism has come to mean im morality to vast numbers of read ers and to greater numbers of play goers. The disregard for conven ‘tion which has led to the adoption of an artistic style hitherto con demned has usually carried the ar tist beyond other conventionalities. So we have been given such plays as “Ghosts,” a whole department of graphic art, and not a few operas of the same general tendencies. But these results are a product of merged purposes, not of naturalism

alone. "All art is a matter of emphasis, of selecting details. Bougerean omit ted all that was not smooth and placid; David all that was not stiff and formal; the Greeks all that was not of the perfect type as far as the artist could perceive it; Rodin al! that did not have immedi ate and substantial meaning. This last is naturalism. It has its liter ary expression in such works as “Creatures That Once Were Men.” It has no matter of morals, it is a matter of eyes and reason. Keep ing to the great change which has come over art since the day of sonality and type, the naturalist chooses those actual living details which, 2s be believes, will have Phidias, insisting on per Art and Nature. greatest value in reproducing the impression in his ¢wn mind. The object may be ever so exalted, as in Millet's “Angelus.” It may be ever so revolting as in any of half a dozen bloody pictures in the greatest of European galleries. It may -be even religious. But, what ever it is, it is a matter of treat ment, and not one of substance. In the end, the great struggle will be between this conception of art— utilitarian, literary, graphic, musi cal-—which is that it depends inti mately on an imitation of nature— and the symbolism of Japan, which takes no account of anything save the direct and simple representation of an idea. It appears that Mr, Bryan is to at tend a banquet in New York, where he is not expected to make a speech. If Mr. Bryan proves able to do this, the claim that he is th® most versatile per son In the world will be pretty well demonstrated. He will have done the one thing nobody really believed 1pos sible. Every State convention turns out a tariff revision plank these days, but it Is well to make careful examination of the timber used in them. New Political Dictionary: Constitu tion means “excuse fo not doing things." Senator Johnston proposv3 to skin the Banana trust, in which enterprise he will have ample sympathy: but he is urged to make discreet 4d'sposal of the peel. A skunk is reported to have visited the office of the mayor of Philadelphia and taken possession. The explanation that the enterprising beast, having heard something about the odorous qualities of Philadelphia politics, merely wanted to fumigate the place, may be dismissed as inspired by rank malice. For a mild-mannered young man who never says much, the Hon, Herbert Parsons is cutting quite a considerable flgure as a political boss. Presumably this proposed Republican caucus will be held for the purpose of showiag that if it can't agree about anything else, the G. O. P. can agree about disagreeing. A Kentucky woman hag left $100,000 to the American Bible Society. It is pre sulned the society will decide to spend the whole amount in that State, in a missionary movement to unhorse the nightriders and denaturize the feuds. The Portuguese royal family is so hard up that the imperial stables are to be denuded of a lot of the best horses. Thus does roya.ly get on the simple, democratic plane of the com mon Pittsbure millionaire. Senator Jeff Davis established a bad precedent in ailowing an opponent to take his cane away from him. First he knows, the ~ctupus will pluck up courage to stick out a big tentagle and null him in. It may be worth mentioning that in numerous cities throughout these United States steps are beirg taken to assure the safety against fire of the school buildings now In use, and to provide that those constructed in future shall be of better quality in this regard. Also, to mention that Washington is not a pioneer among theses progressive communities, Even if you are smart enough to pre vent anybody making a fool of you today, you still hava that excellent chance of making one of yourself. SCRUBBED AND GOOKED; WAN IS CALLED CRUEL NEW YORK, April 1.—Here are a few of the things Osias Lieberman's wife is alleged to have done to him before suing for separation and alimony: Made him scrub the floor and cook after-theater meals for her. Kicked because he could prepare eggs only three ways and was a failure at lobster salad. Collected payments from the cus tomers of his installment jewelry busi ness. Removed his furniture bit by bit—tak ing his stove out dur'ng the coldest day last winter, and the one mattress just £s he was going to bel the same night. She appeared before Supreme Court Justice Hendrick demanding separation from Osias, $10 a week alimony and $100 counsel fees upon charges of cruelty and ntoxication. Osias didn’t look as tuaough there were encugh spunk in him to pass for cruelty. “I married her on $9 per week,” he pleaded hopelessly. “I was eating well then; I had two suits of clotheg and my business was picking up. I fixed her up fine in our home at 139 Goerck street. She was thin then; I was fat. Now iook at us. See how she has filled out until she is one of the handsomest East Side women. And see me—how I have filled in until I have not even a de cent shadow.” Osias wept copiously. The suspicion of a tear stood also in Judge Hendrick's eye. He said, “I deny the separation and the alimony and the counsel fees. Take her back and start in life over with her, and may the—" Oslas wept more copiously still 200 STUDENTS JOIN STRIKE AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY PALO ALTO, Cal, April 1.—The strike of the students of Leland Stanford, jr., University against the faculty edict or dering compulsory vaccination continues to spreac.

NEW SUPREME COURT CAMPAIGN GOSSIP Next President May Have to Make Several Appoint ments to the Bench. Whether Judges Are Demo crats or Republicans May Make Vast Difference. No more important duty will be in cumbent on the next Administration than the one of reorganizing the Su preme Court of the United States. It is not unlikely that the man who is chosen to succeed President Roosevelt will have to appoint four men to the highest judicial tribunal. If Secretary Taft enters the White House he will probably have te fill by appointment the very office with which his name has been so much connected, that of the chief justicesh'p, as well as the posts of three associate justices. It will pre sumably make considerable difference in the future course of the Supreme Court whether the selection of so large a number of members of the supreme bench falls to Secratary Taft or some other Republican President or whether it falls to William Jennings Bryan.

Not Issue as a Rule. The Supreme Court is not, as a rule, an issue in a political campaign, but it is quite certain that this subject of filling Supreme Court vacancies will be given no smail degree of attention by thinking voter: before next November. Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller was born Februar: 11, 1533. He was seventy five years old his last birthday and will be past eighty before the successor to Mr. Roosevelt steps out of office. The chief justice will no doubt retire before the end of the next Administration. A great deal of talk has been indulged in about his retirement, but he has shown no haste to step down and out as, indeed, chief justices have not in the history of the country. The sug gestion has been made that one reason why Chief Justice Fuller is in no haste to leave the bench is that he is a Dem ocrat, and if there is to be a Democrat ic Administration folloving this one he would prefer to retire under such a r™ gime, rather than under a Republican Administration. Whether that has any thing to do with the matter is conject ural. It may be presumed the chief justice prefers te keep busy with bis judicial duties rather than to lead a life of retirement. Justice Harlan was born June 1, 183%, and is within a few months of the age of Chief Justice Fuller. Rumors of his contemplated retirement arise every few months, and while he fs apparently in no hurry to step down, he will naturai ly do so befora the close of the next Administration. Justice David J. Brewer will soon be seventy-one years of age. He was born June 20, 1837, and, as is not generally known, was not born in the United States, but in Smyrna, Asia Minor. His father was one of the early mission arfes to Turkey. Justice Brewer will be nearly seventy-six when the next Administration closes, and may leave the bench before that time. Not much behind him in age is Justice Peckham, who will be seventy his next birthday, and who may likewise be expected to No Politics, Theoretically. Theoretically, no such consideration as politics or the bias of the mind of a judge on certain great questions before the country enters into the mind of the Executive when he fllis vacancies on the Supreme Court of the United States. Practically, as a search through his tory wiil show, the Executive is pretty apt to pick his judicial appointees as he picks others. A President favorable to an income tax would hardly be ex pected to nominate a man for justice of the Supreme Court that he knew would knock out an income tax law if there was any excuse for it. So It is with other matters. President Roose volt purpose to reorganize the Supreme Court, and there has never been a dis avowal from the White House that he intended, when possible, to put men on the vench that would uphold the legis lation he advocated. it is likely to be with any man chosen President, and for that reason, with four vacan cies on the Supreme Court in sight, it is a matter of some moment who will sit in the White House the four years beginning next March 4.

After remaining bald for thirty years, Gilbert has blos somed out this spring with a new crop of hair that covers his entire cranium. A peculiar thing about Gilbert's bald ness was its perfection, not a single blade of hair having appeared to sheiter his pate in the last three decades. Gil bert lost his hair afier a fever. What has caused it suddenly to return he is at a great loss to explain, as are the doctors. Gilbert says he used hair tonic for years, until he had spent a small for tune in a us=!>=g gearch for a cure. He does not hcucve the hair tonic had the right effect afie~ a lapse of ten years, and he is equa ly certain that he is not going into hs second childhood. The new Fair has just a trace of gray mixed with dark locks, and Gilbert looks quarter cantury younger than he gid a Year ago,

Adam and Eve Watch Monks In Painting

“Breaks” Frequent in the Works of Master Artists. Among the most amusing ‘‘breaks” by artists is a landscape by Turner, in which a rainbow is depicted behind the sun. This occasioned almost as much Jumorous comment in English art cir cles as did the slip of Constant, the great French artist, who, in his por ‘trait of Queen Victoria, painted tine rib bon of the Order of the Gari the wrong color.

A picture of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, hung ih the gallery of the Gesu, in Lisbon, represents the first couple as watching a procession of monks.

i In the famous galleries at Antwerp are certain pictures by old masters, in which the jumble of ideas is as remark able as the technique is fine. In one picture of heaven the archangels are armed with bows and arrows, and in a celebrated painting of “The Murder of the Innocents” the massacre is repre sented as taking place in a ony of Hol land. The parents of the children are stout burghers, the Roman soldiers are Dutch policemen armed with muskets, and the {innocent infants are trans formed into solid schoolboys in bulgy woolen trousers and jackets and hob nailed shoas.

i In most of the great religious paint juga, including those by Raphael, Mu rillo, and Michelangelo, the characters are represented as [talian and Spanish rather than persons of Hebrew type. This, however, so far from being an anachronism or other exhibition of ig nerance on the part of the a~rtist, is rather an evidence of the devcut spirit in which the approached his work.

The duchess was a guest of honor and shared attention with Mrs. Ward. Both of them made speeches. The duchess compared American and English philanthropy to the disad vantage of the former, and said in vart: “If American women can do so much and do it so well, why is it that a greater number do not interest them selves in philanthropical and educational work? “1 belleve that it is, as I have sain. becanse the sense of our personal obli gation to the community has not yet been fully developed.

Duchess of Marlborough Censures American Women; Slow to Do Charity Work

THE DICHFSS OF MARILROROIIGH THE DUCHESS OF MARLBOROUGH, Who Thinks American Women Are Siow to Realize the Necessity ol Social Serivce. Draws Comparison With Conditions in England.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1908. THE She declared that New York had far outstripped London in organizing and using the playgrounds at command. She said in part: “Let me say at once that I am lost in envy and admiration of these evening play centers of yours. I saw a sight the other evening which has given me a sense of the vigor of your population, and, perhaps, I may say, of the enor mous possibilities of the American future which I shall not soon forget.”

“It means to me, then that in your evening use of your grade school for your growing lads and girls you have solved the problem at which we in Eng land are still tamely fumbling; and ia the playground association and your ath letic league, in your vacation schools, your recreation piers, and the like, yon are going a long way to meet the need of physical exercise and out-of-door games. “The organization and equipment which the city authorities provide in Your parks are beyond anything we have at present in England. In London we have far better piaygrounds than Yoil, but they are far less useful to us. We have not yet learned how to organize and direct them. There is no. living voice there, in the play hours, to help or control or suggest.” Bathing the Eves It is very helpful to bathe the eyes every night before going to bed. Dust accumulates on tne lds and between the lashes, and calses them to smart.

Ice completely envel oped in newspapers so that all air is shut out will keep a longer time than under other conditions; and a pitcher of ice water laid in a newspaper, with the ends of the paper together to exclude the alr, will remain all night in any summer room with scarcely any per ceptible melting of the ice. These facts should be utilized oftener than they are in the care of the sick at night. In freezing ice cream, when the ice is scarce, jae the freezer orly threequar ters full of ice and salt, and finish with newspapers, and the difference in the time of freezing and quality of the cream is not perceptible from the result where the freezer is packed full of ice. After removing the dasher it is better to cork up the cream and cover it tight ly with a packing of newspapers than to use more ice. The newspapers re tain the cold already in the ice better than a packing of cracked ice and salt, which must have crevices to admit the air To Protect Silk Hose. Every one who wears silk stockings knows how easily they wear out, and one clever girl whose needs do not fit her pocketbook has found that by knit ting inside feet of silk thread she can wear them and thus protect her fragile hosiery of silk. These feet are made just so they cover the sole, and extead only slight over the foot that they may he worn with slippers and yet not be seen. The idea is good, because home-made stocking are of much better quality than are the machine-made varieties, and the girl who originated the idea says that her gossamer hose last just three times as long as did before she wore her nome-made ings. Keeping Filberts Moist. One Ingenious housekeeper whose family is extremely fond of nuts has found a way to prevent that drying out of the kernel which is so disappointing after one has A to tke trouble of cracking 1 shell. When she lays in a supply of nuts in the early fall she cks them in salt, and always finds the kernels soft and full, even if the supply of nuts lasts tiil late spring.

A good peony plant has been known to live fitty years in perfectly good condition, and bear flowers all the while. The only precaution is not to disturb the roots in any way, for a slight interfer ence at this season of the year may spoil the chances of blossoms all sum mer. ished it in their posy gardens, and how Peonies can now be bought in prac tically every shade from pure white down to the dull, rich reds which seem almost black in the center. The tub ers Zor this plant must be set in very rich soil, prepared with cow manure it possible, and plant=d four inches be low the surface. The best thiag of all about peonies is that they seem to improve with age, so it is a regular garden investment to get a few plants. A very striking perennial for the back of a border is larkspur. It 1s a great ad dition to the garden, for it sends wp heavy stalks six or eight feet high, with very vivid blue flowers. The only trouble with the larkspur is that the stalks are so tall and heavy that a wind shower almost invariably breaks them, and the amateur gardener must ve care ful to keep them well tlel up es they grow. Like the peony, they are easy to grow, and thrive wonderfully with very little attention. The woman who wants her garden to How to Dry Hands To Prevent Spots Do you know how to dry your hands? Many women lament roughened, blotchy hands and try all sorts of lo tions to overcome them, when, in real ity, the trouble is caused by not using the towel .thoroughly. Don't give the hands a hasty dab with a rough or stiff towel and think they are dry. What you “ant is something to ab sorb the mols! wre. For this reason the small, soft hand towel is excellent. Don’t be content with a hasty wipe of the palm of the hand, but ther oughly dry each finger. To assist In the drying process many women use aimond meal while the hands are stil. moist. If, in using the towel on the ands, care is taken to push back the _uticle at the base of the nails, it can be kept in much better condition. Also get into the habit of wiping the Sngers from the roof to the point. It will help to make them taper. One would hardly racognize the humble apple in this guise. Put over the fire In a saucepi.n one cup riale bread crumbs and a half cup milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth, then add one large apple chopped fine, and dozen almonds, ground, the yolks of two eggs beaten with a tablespoon ful of sugar, a tablespoonful of lemon Juice and the grated yellow rind of half a lemon. Cook until thickened, then turn out on to a Flatige to ccol. When quite coo! form into croquettes; roll into fine crumbs and {ry in smoking hot fat. Apple Croguettes. look the best with the least possible trouble must not overlook the peren nial phlox. One can ge! the tall variety which grows as high as five or six feet, or there is a dwarf about a foot high. has developed all sorts of possi bilities since our grandmothers cher but crimson, rose-colored and magenta phiox, besides a number of other rich colorings. one can get not only the pure white, Every clump of roots puts forth doz ens of stalks, and by cutting the flow ers often the plant will bloom on well into the fall. The trick is to cut the top flowers as soon as they pass their prime, and then smaller flower stalks are grown out farther down on the main stalk. By cutting these when they are in fuli blossom, a new growth far ther down is started, so thal the plant is kept in bloom continually till cold weather arrives.

i The danger in buying phlox is that one may not realize how high the tall varieties are likely to grow, and in this way they are often set in the middle of a bed where they overshadow every thins else, and do not show up to best advantage themselves. These tall ones are Intended only for use at the back of a garden or along the fence. Another care must be taken not to pliant the red flowers near thoss which shade the violet tints, for these two colors kill each other, though either one is beautiful mixed with white.

NEGRO'S VIGTIN 15 PROSTRATED AFTER ATTACK [BOLD

Miss Jenkins Under the Doctor’s Care at Her Home. J

Miss Carrie Jenkins, the young woman who was knocked down and robbed of her pocketbook In Riggs street last night, is prostrated today, and no one but the visiting physician of the Young Women's Christian Association, where Miss Jenkins lives, and the matron of the institution, is permitted to see her.

When Miss Jenkins rushed into the house last night and told of the as sault, the entire household was thrown into a slate of excitement. Miss Jen kins was so badly bruised and ir such R’ condition that medical attention was necessary, and this morning, in addi tion to the injuries inflicted ver as sailant, she is suffering considerably from shock.

RL The boldness with which the attack was made leads the police to believe taat the negro is the same who has ter rorized the women of Washington for s0 many months. Riggs street, between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, along which Miss Jenkins was passing at the time the negro rushed upon her, has two alleys on the south side. One half the mailers on the north side is occupied by he grounds of an orphan asylum, Bround which is a highy'beard fence.

p

Negro Sought Light. A Ome, alley is jusfopposite this fence and the street lamp'is on the asylum side. This would seem’ to. be the most likelysplave for the attdckK to have oc curred, but the boldness of the negro tnduced him to choose the ulley near the east end of the street. At this point thére are houses on both sides, and a big Welsbach light is stationed directly Bt the mouth of the alley. It was here the negro rushed upon Miss Jenkins. When he had beaten her and obtained possession of her purse, he ran through the aller to an adjoining street and dfs Gppeared. Miss Jenkins was able to get a fairly good mental picture of the man before he got away. sre

In repeating her story to Miss Whar ton, matron of the Women's lristian Association, Miss Jenkins said she screamed when the man first attacked her, but C. E. Jones, of 1316 Ri street, before whose house the assault was committed, said tnat although he and other members of the family were in the front of the house, they did not hear Miss Jenkins scream. 3

Just after she crossed the second alley the negro sprang upon her, grabbed lier around the throat with both hands, and forced her to the ground by plac ing bis knee at her back. He tugged at her bag, but Miss Jenkins held to it, and he then took her head in his hands and thumped it against the pavement until she nearly lost consciousness.

BRYAN CAN'T WIN OER HOOSEIELT ‘South Carolinian Will Go Abroad as Soon as He Gains Strength. COLUMBIA, S. C.,, April 1. —Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, of South Carolina, ‘who is ill at his home here, believes that if President Roosevelt is nom inared for a third term at the Repub lican National Convention, William Jen ‘hings Bryan will be unable to obtain the Democratic nomination. When asked his opinion of Bryan's chances Senator Tillman said: “It gll depends on one thing: If the Republicans nominate Taft for Presi dent at the June convention, Bryan will undoubtedly pe named by the Demo crats, and I think he will win. But, on tlie other hand, if the Repyblicans lock up the convention and stampede it for Roosevelt, and nominate him, I do not thick that the Democrats can put Bryan forward.” “Do you mot think the matter of a third term would defeat Roosevelt?” “Well, all that Bryan could say would ‘be ‘third term,” because he has praised ‘the politics of Roosevelt, and there would be nothing left for him to say.” “If the Republicans nominste Roose velit who do you think the Democrats ‘would put up?” “That I am unable to say,” replied the Senator Senator Tillman said that as soon as he gains sufficient strength to travel he will go to an Atlanta sanitarium for several weeks, after which he will 80 abroad. “I want to rest and renew by acquaintance with English history and literature,” he said. If the Senator has (recovered sufficiently by the time the :fall campaign opens he will again get dnto active politics and work tooth and nail for Democracy. PHOTUGRAPHS THIEVES WITH CARERA ON KITE NEW YORK, April 1.—William A. Eddy, a sclentific kite-flyer, as every body knows, did some detective work with a big kite and three cameras yes terday. Miss Eddy had a luncheon party, and somebody stole four quarts of ice-cream from the cool back porcy of her home. Her father, who is Bay oune’s assistant city collector, immedi ately sent up the cameras on the kite string, and at the proper altitude pulled a cord which operated the camera's shutters. One camera took a photograph of two n.>n eating ice-cream under a tree a few hundred yards from the Eddy house. Mr. Eddy hurried to the tree, but the men were gone. The ice-cream boxes were there. Unfortunately, the photo raph is so small that the faces in it y not identify the men. It does not even snow if they enjoyed the ice ocream. At sixty-two our optimist is philo sophical. “I have attended 'n the last forty years,” he said, ‘at leest 500 ban quets. I used to think it gre: t fun, and can still understand the enjoyment of the younger set; but an old friend, an easy chair, a bum cigar, and a family dinner—ah, they constitute my Paradise now! The other is hell.”—Exchange. 4 OLDEST AND BEST .~J.n. BLOOD PURIFIER The best recommendation of S. S. S. as a blood purifier, is its long continued popularity with the people. For more than forty years it has been upon the market, and each su ing year the demand for it has grown larger, until its merits as a medicine have been tested and proven throughout the length and breadth of the land. S.S.S. is nota “cure all” nor in any sense a “miraculous” remedy; it is simply a blood purifier of the highest order, and cne whose long successful record fully warrants the confidence in which it is universally held. Bad blood is responsible for most of the ailments of mafikind. The circulation being the medium through which every portion of the body must receive the nourishment and strength necessary to preserve health, it can very readily be seen that when this vital fluid becomes contaminated or diseased, some physical disorder is sure to follow. Humors in the circulation produce skin diseases and eruptions of different kinds, an excess of uric acid is responsible for Rheumatism, morbid impurities are the foundation of old sores, while various other physical derangements follow the polluting of the blood. Spring is the season at which a blood purifier is usnally most needed. Impurities and humors which corrupt the circulation have been left in the system because of the inactive YSXFe* oo Gon YYINICr life. 10he members whose duty it is to carry off the refuse and useless matter from the body, do not perform their work as well in cold weather, be cause they do not receive as much stim ulation from bodily exercise. So this impure, fermenting matter is left to sour and form humors and acids, which are soon absorbed into the blood. With the return of warmer weather the blood is aroused from its sluggish, congested condition, and begins to throw off these impurities, and its fiery, acrid nature irritates and diseases the pores and glands of the skin, and produces Feoreoma Acne Tetter nimnles trachea eruptions, boils, etc. These impurities also destroy the nutritive qualities of the blood, and it becomes a weak, watery stream, unable {o nourish and strengthen the body, and the system grows debilitated and weak, the appetite and digestion are deranged, and a general ru condition of health results. 'n Nothing equals S.S. S. when the blood needs help. It is rature’s blood purifier, made from roots and herbs, and in addition is the finest of tonics. It goes down into the circula tion, and removes all humors, acids and impurities, and makes the blood pure and rich. It tones up the stomach and digestion, strengthens and builds up the system, prepares it for the long, hot months of Summer, and in every way shows its beneficial effects asa blood purifier and tonic. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Sores and Ulcers, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poiscn, as well as Eczema, Acne, Tetter, and skin diseases and eruptions of every kind. It removes every taint from the blood, and promotes bodily vigor and health. Book on the blood and any medical advice desired will be sent free to all who write. S.S. S. is for sale at all drug stores, THE SWIFT SPECIFIC COMPANY, ATLANTA,

THE BETTER WAY. FLORENCE SCHENCK SUES PARTNER IN ELOPEMENT

Demands $100,000 for Failure of Alleged Promise to Wed. NEW YORK, April 1.—What probably will be the final scene in the sensational elopement of C. H. Wilson, manager of Alfred G. Vanderbilt's racing stable, and Miss Florence R. Schenck, the pretty eighteen-year-old belle of Neor folk, Va., opened yesterday, when the girl, through her attorney and guardian, Milton A. Wililmont, filed summons and complaint in a suit for $100,000. The girl charges that Wilson, who Is married, represented himseif as single when he met her during the Norfolx horse show in October, 19086. She alleges that Wilsen proposed to her, and that she accepted his offer of marriage on October 27 of the same year. Later, the two visited the Richmond horse show together, and from there went to New York, where they lived as man and wife. Subsequently they went to Lon don, where Wilson was in charge of the Vanderbilt horses at the iaternational FLORENCE R. SCHENCK, The Norfolk Girl Who Eloped With Vanderbilt's Racing Manager. In my estimation there is no blood medicine equal t0 S.S.S. I have used quite a good Geal of it recently and found it to be all youclgi:afor it. The medicine thoroughly cleansed and renovated the blood, and restored it to its normal, healthy condi tion; at least that has been my experience with it. I notice also that it builds up the general health while purifying the blood. My appetite improved under its use, and 1 felt better in every way. Befcre taking your medicine I had an itching, burning eruption and other evidences of bad blood, but S. S. S. has done away with this, and I em in good health. R. T.

The marriage, it is said, was again postponed until they could return 0 New York where it is claimed by the plaintiff that the defendant had finally agreed to marry her. When they reached here, however, the complainant states that Wilson told her he was al ready married, and therefore could not keep his alleged promise. Wilsop has signified his intention of fighting the suit, but so far has not filed an answer to the information filed by Miss Schenck’'s attorney and guardian.

Rice, president of the Elec tric Boat Company, that Hugh Grant Brown, of New York, had promised under certain conditions that Senator Bulkeley would put a stop Immediately to the work of the special committee which is investigating the charges of Representative Lilley of Connecticut of corruption of Congress by the Electric Boat Company. Senator Bulkeley will not take the ‘stand today. He saw Representative Boutell, chairman of the special com mittee, last night and made arrange ‘ments to have sent to him today a copy of the testimony of Mr. Rice. This tes timony will be read carefully by the Senator before he takes the stand. He says he does not know Hugh Grant Brown, but he does know some of the Lake Boat Company's officers, which is natural, as the company is Connecticut concern. Senator Bulkeley called attention to the absurdity of any ong claiming the power to end the in vestigation now being made by the spe cial committee at the command of the House. Mr. Rice said in unqualified terms that Mr. Brown, of New York, offered ig have Senator Bulkeley stop the invest: gation if the Electric Boat Comparvy would accept the Lake company’s offer to sell out to the Electric.

104 DUR AGGREGATION SUBJECTS OF ALL OLD-TIME CHANGES

oo. Temperamental Capital Bunch Reverses Form in Right Direction. Fielding Shows Speed and Pronounced Symp toms of Head Work. DALLAS, Tex., April 1.—That victory over Dallas yesterday by 3 to 1 would have warmed the cockles of the home fans’ hearts—it was so naturai and so much like old times. Not that the Nationals, as far back as the present generation can remem ber, were such consistent winners that it made tlie faithful Washington “sup porters” discouraged to see them lose. But the sudden change of form over Monday's game was a familiar flash of the sudden changes exhibited by our temperamental aggregation last season. Garden Performances. The fielding, which was the subject of roasts only one day before, was as ciassy an exhibition of speed and head WOrs as one sees in a major league game. Keeley was much to the bush league, put he was on third, and no one has dared to tout him a winner in that position. With this single ex ception, the garden aggregation worked together like machinery. Washington assumed the lead in the first, when Pickering singled, pilfered second, and movod to third on Male ney's fumble. Delebanty’s three-bas gor sent Pickering and Ganley, wno

ad landed on first by Maloney's er ror, home. In the sixth Freeman opened the circuit with a single, reached sec ond on a wild pitch, and proceeded to third when Street attempted to sacri fice. Street stole second, and Freeman went home when an attempt was made 16 catch him off third.

Dallas’ Tally.

Dajlas’ one tally came in the eighth by Moore's three-bagger and Maog's infield out.

The Dallas diamond is superior to ruost of those in the Texas League. and tis hélped considerably. Much of the hg ragged fielding has been i

The Ken tucky twrfman has a barnful of young sters, fifty or more in number. These were originally selected with grea! care and have received careful prepara tion. They have not béen hurried, and will show better and better as the sea son advances.

On and after this date anything that comes out of the Madden stable will have a @en erous backing. Taboo Has Bard Luck. General Townes is baving hard luck with Taboo, who is a filly of undoubted speed. Both times that she has started, the filly has got a bad start, and has never had a chance to show her true form. In the jumping ace yesterday the statesman from Culpeper uncovered a cracking good jumper in Aiken. This one has all the promise of a top notcher at the “lepping” game. He fenced beautifully yesterday, and when Tiagan let him down in the stretch, ran over his field.

Mr, Gieniver, young Baltimore turf man, had his eye on Newt Fisher, but when he went to ruy him he found that Mr. Duniop had “beat him to it.” ‘THE WASHINGTON TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1908.

ATTELL WINNER, SAYS NAUGHTON; URAW DECISION Battling Nelson Puzzled by Opponent’s Furious Ornslaughts. By W. W. NAUGHTON. SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.—Referee Eddie Smith called the +fight between Abe Ar‘ell and Battling Nelson a draw at the end of the fifteenth round. As I know Smith to be an honest man, I have not the least suspicion that he dealt with th- men other than as his judgment led him to do. In my opinion, however, Attell won So decisively that I cannot see how Nelson should have been allowed to share the honors of a draw. For the first few rourds Attell fought the same way he promised he would. He stood toe to toe with the Dane and cuffed and cuffed until Nelson's face was spatter ed with blood. Nelson Aggressive.

The crowd was amused at the way Nelson's head was jecking.. The punches that Attell used wgre snappy ones, bat not of® the kind that produce knok outs. In the main, he sacrificed force to speed, and in doing so he probably scored two punches to every one that the Battler landed. Of course, Nelson was after his man every second of the time. He could not fight in any other fashion if he tried. In the mix-ups the Dane took a doz.n body punches for the privilege of landing one rasping right on the ribs. After about five rounds had ed Attell changed his program. While net actually running away, he took th easy in the first half of each round. He WASHINGTON SQUAD MAINLY ABSORBED IN PROBLEM PLAYS Not Shaw, But Cantillon, Author of These Puzzles. Ball Players’ Union a Fig ment of Callahan's Fertile Brain. By THOMAS S. RICE. WICHITA, Kan., April 1.—“The great advantage of these exhibition games, even when they make exhibitions ot us,” remarked Captain Ganley, of the Washington club, “is tha! they point out the weakness of a major league team and cause the men ro ‘plan for future strength.’ If we were joing along rolling up big scores against (he minors we would fall into the old mechan ical way of playing ball and when the game was over we would. have gained nothing but the exercise, We are going to keep right on trying our schemes against these fellows until we get them going good and you will see the team is benefited in the long run.”

ais The Cheerful View. This is a cheerful view of the situa tion and is really the right one, although it is not sO easy to be always so optim istic when there is nothing but one de feat after another to record. The play ers console themselves with the fact that throughout the Southwest this spring the ambitious minors have been walloping the majors with much vim and vigor. They also point to the fact that there have been very few cases where a team’s exhibition record was sustained by its record in the real race. ‘A striking illustration was in 1906 when Patsy Donovan first took hold of Brook yR The team did not win a game in the sp and then came with a rush The ashington club is spending much time solving the protlem of how to handle the bunt that is almost in tvitable when men are on first and sec ond and nobody out. The great object is to arrange the infield so as to give a play on the man going to third. Dif ferent ¢lubs play it different ways, and the Nationals are vacillating between several systems. This work has been interfered with by the absence of a sure-enough third baseman since Altizer has been sick, and the arrival of Shipke here is, therefore, of special waportance. Giants No Wonders. The New York Giants have not been making much more of an impression in Texas than the Washington Na tionals. The Lone Star fans are pessi mistic about the Giant infield and pitch ing staff, and predict the club will not amount to much in the race. That ball players’ unidn which is sup posed to have started among the Wash ington players is a figment of the brain of Jimmy Callahan, whe sprung the subject at Galveston in telling reminis cerces of the Golf Union ariong the players, which turned out a joke. ilow ever, this much can be said: The players unanimously express the opin n that a union weuld help them, and as ro dues have yet been asked, they are a unit In saying they would join. either backed or elise stood with head ull covered up and allowed the Dane to hammer away above the hair line. Then suddenly Abe would straighten out and the way he punished Nelson with both gloves must have made a new record for the greatest number of blows in a given time, if there ever was one. Both Men Tired. In the last five rounds of the fight both men were tired. Nelson hurt At tell with body punches, but certainly took more than he gave. Attell con fined himself to Nelson's face and had it bathed in blood from gong to gong. In the last three rounds Nelson made desperate efforts to knock out his op ponent and failed. When the fighting reached close quarters Nelson's blows were the more teiling, but in 2ll the mixing matches from the first round to the last Attell in my opinion, had far the better of the milling. “Let the Royal Tailors Suit You for Easter.”

Murphy says he can arrange for $4,500 worth of the same kind of back ing for English.
