AVhen this story was repeated in the'presence of Sena tor Krye he remarked that Jt remind ed him of an experience of his own a year or two ago. He was returning to Washington for the session of Con. gress and stayed over a day or two In Hoston. Soon after he had registered at the Tournine a youthful reporter called on him, and his flrnt question was: "Senator, have you ever- taken any interest In the ship subsidy ac tion?" "Not much," replied the Sen ator, dryly. "Can you tell me Just what It Is?" Whereupon tho young man proceeded to give a little elemen tary instruction on the subject to the Senator, who had been the author of most of the ship subsidy hlllp Intro duced In Congress. And the vener able Senator never enlightened the Noting man. He says he was afraid It might have embarrassed hlui. - The (onlc effect of the Meyer reor ganization or the navy has been al ready commented on in this column, and another striking proof came to the attention of the Secre Naval tary in the case of Civil En Esprit. glneer I J. It. Stanford, whose efforts in the direction of economy have proved so successful that Mr. Meyer has written a letter of congratulation to Mr. Stanford. Mr. Stanford has been in charge of the three Important pieces of the work?? the extension of a crane track, the ? construction of a number of fifle butts, and a-c-onsiderable t iece of pav ing. As bids were received on all three it is possible to make an intelli gent comparison between the rost of the work performed by the civil engi neer and the cost had it been per formed by contract. In the llrst in stance the saving effected over the contract price was $7170, in the sec ond instance *80(55 and in the third $5670. In the estimation of Mr. Mey er these results show that, with prop erly supervised yard labor, this sort of work can be performed more eco nomically than by contract, and it further demonstrates the Importance of-havtng such work done under the supervision of trained technical offi cers. George Washington University la without a permanent president, al though Admiral Stockton has been elected president pro tern. This is due to the resignation of Wanted, a Dr. Charles C. Needham, i President, who has been president of this institution for some time. This doesn't constitute a weakness, however, for opinion is di vided regarding the fbility of Dr. Needham, and there ?re many who believe the university can be greatly strengthened by the selection of an other head. The suggestion has been made that possibly ex-President Roosevelt could be Induced to accept this honorable place, although it is not known if that idea has received any serious consideration from the board of trustees. It is realized that If Mr. Roosevelt would accept he could make this one of the greatest Institutions of learning in the United States and probably in the world. Were ho to become its hend abundant funds to carry it on would be imme> diately forthcoming and on a scale even beyond the most sanguine expec tations of present trustees. There aro j many who believe Washington should have a great national, or quasi-na tional, university, and who feel that the excellent charter of George Wash ington. which has still ninety years to run, its creditable seniority and its enviable reputation as an educational Institution make it the ideal nucleus for such a university, but all that Is, J of course, mere speculation. In any j event, the present trustees are mak- I tng a valiant flg.it to save old George Washington, and while their work is not yet done the prospects aro far ! brighter than they were a short time^j ago. The pcsfnl savings bank bill is not Intended to benefit tbo business man or the merchant. It will hardly appeal to residents of the cities, except, per haps, a few of the labor Objert of ing classes. Hut in the Postal Snv- sections of the country ings Unnks. remote from banking facilities, among the mino workers and tbo farm hands und the railroad laborers, it will prove an occasion of the utmost comfort and satisfaction. lacking business ex perience, they too often' refuse to trust their hard earned savingB to the bank, even when one is available, but no one of them will lack confidence In Uncle 8am, and each will greet the opportunity to deposit his little fund In the vaults of the United States Treasury with gratification and will bless the Administration and the party which made it possible. It is even asserted by certain .'.Western members of Congress that the opera tions of the Black Hand in mining communities will be greatly checked by the substitution of the Federal saving* bank for the "stocking bank" which is now commonly resorted to.

MEN DIED TRYING TO RESCUE HER Mr#, Howycr, l)mi?l?lcr-li>-L}uv of SiiiK'i'iiitfiiUout, Wjin Flivoiite? Not Able to Swim and (jut Jul? Deep Water, Annapolis, Md.-?With everything to indicate that tho young midship wen met their death In a manner be fitting 'he best traditions of the American Navy, the bodies of Sher man N. Nason, of Newport, K. I.; (Jriuby K. Thomas, of tJnlon Point, Oa., and Mre. Joseph McC. Bowyer, daughter-ln-lr.w of Captain J. M. Bowyer, superintendent of the Naval Academy, were found. They were found close together and there .can be no doubt that* the midshipmen lost their lives trying to pave that of their companion who could not swim and who had probably gone off the shoal and into the deep water that is on the aide of the bar. The place of the finding was about forty feet from the place where their craft In which they went sailing had been an anchor. One of the launches picked up the bodyA>f~"Mr8. TJfSwyer with grnupling line*. A few minutes later tl*e bodies of Nason and Thomas were found al most simultaneously. They were about four feet apart and each about, six feet from the body 'of Mrs. Bow yer. The closeness Of all the bodies in dicated that they had gone down to gether. the slight separation being accounted for by the drifting with the tide. The circumstances bear out ex actly the theory that Mrs. Bowyer had got into deep water and the mid shipmen had tried to save her life. Mrs. Eowyer could not swim and Thomrs was a very poor swimmer. It is likely, however, that he did what he could am] that Nason tried to help botti. The result was the drowning of all three. Whatever happened must have been very sudden. From the fact that the life preservers which | were In the boat were not used, it is probable that all three were in swim ming when the accident occurred, j and there was no chance to get the | life preservers out of the boat. I Mrs. Bowyer was extremely popular j at the academy, as were both the j midshipmen. She was the widow of Joseph Bowyer, a son of the super intendent, and had made her home with Captain and Mrs. Bowyer since her husband's death two years ago. Prior to her marriage sho was Mlsa Marie Dean, of Pittsburg. She was twenty-eight years old. Nason was a star athlete and an exnert swimmer, | Both Nason and Thomas, who were each twenty years old, were mem bers of the academv rifle team, and were to coippeU in the national matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, In Au? gust. SENATOR DANIEL IS DEAI). Distinguished Virginia Senator Had Been Hopeless!/ Ill For Months. Lynchburg, Va. ? John W.

John Warwick Daniel was nn old school Virginia gentleman brought up to date. lie was born at Lynchburg September f., 1 42. and since early youth w;'f. closely Identified with the affairs of the State as citizen, soldier and statesman. He possessed all the graces com monly associated with men of the old South, and his voice musical, soft and soothing, was one of the joys of the United States Senate. His manners were exquisite, and In debate lie was Chesterfleldian, but if any luckless opponent pushed him too far the assembled statesmen wero usually entertained by sarcasm and blt'ng wit. As an orator Mr. ^cnlel easily took rank at the head of the Senate, and could only be compared with Ingulls, Voorhees and Vest. GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN DEAD. Hp Was Prom 1::ent ns n Mason and n Soldier.

LEADERS DEFY INTERFERENCE Senate Finally Votes to Adjourn AgUillHl Protest Of lillKllM'litHHIC* veil Follower*? Caucus Failed by Members' Refusal to Attend. Albany, N'. V.--"Theodore Roosevelt was beaten decisively by the Assem bly. Whatever may be the llnnl out come of htH first advent tire in polities since his retirement from the White House, he met defeat flat footed by tho Republican organization in tho As sembly. At u late hour at night tbo Senate fell Into line and adopted the Assembly resolution to adjourn. Whether this will bar a vote on tho primary hill la unknown, but. the measure Is dead unless reconsidered by tho Assembly. The Cobb bill was killed in tho As sembly after a long, hard fight. Tho final count stood eighty to sixty-two in favor of accepting the adverse re port of the Judiciary Committee, ?whlcJt had the bill in charge. The Republicans in the Senate held a cau cus, but only twenty-three Senators were therd. Tliey voted to make a party measure of the Cobb bill, with the amendments proposed by Lloyd C. Griscom, chairman of the Now York County Republican Committee, and urged by Colonel Roosevelt. Hut It takes twenty-si* votes to pass a bill in the Senate, so that the situation was not cleared. Then the Senate wentinto a lengthy night session. The vcene was almost its dramatic and exciting us though Colonel Roosevelt himself had been there to lead the battle. The anti Roosevelt motion to concur with tho Assembly mid adjourn was carried late at nip,bt, twenty-four to twenty-" three. The leaders say Governor Hushes may call the Legislature back again. The vote on adjournment was: For adjournment: Braekett, Coats, Emerson, ('.rattan, Holden, Kissel, Meade and Schlosses, Republicans, and Dayjit', Caffrey, Croniu, Cullcn, Frawley, Gardner, Grady, lladden.

Four years ugo, and again two years ago, he whipped the Republican State Convention into line, forcing it to accept Hughes as the nominee for Governor. Tha supreme tiuestion was whether he would be able again to compel the Republican organization to follow his bidding. It was a clear-cut issue be tween the ex-President and the "or ganization" leaders, and the leaders won. HARVARD WINS THREE RACES. Vale Oarsmen Vanquished by Lnrge Margin in Each Event on Thames. New London, Conn. ? Harvard crews swept the Thames in the annual Yale-Harvard regatta, winning the 'Varsity and freshman eight-oared and the 'Varsity four-oared races by a comfortable margin in each event. Thereby the Crimson navy dupli cated Its feat of last year, when, for the first time In the history of three event regattas between Yale and Har vard, the Cambridge oarsmen cap tured first place In every race. Helped along by a breeze of ten mile? an hour blowing from the north and ideal tidal water cpndltions Har vard finished the race between the 'Varsity eight In 20: 4 6 . Yale's time was 21:04, and the New Haven shell was fivo lengths astern of the Harvard prow. Harvard's time was faster than ha9 been made since 1&03, when Yale car* ried off the honors in 20:19 4-5.

C.?Democratic contention: Congress at the session Just close'! again passed the billion dollar high-water mark. Republican contention: Actual probable fixed charge against reven ues during the fiscal year 1911, $893, 12 0.7 fi 1. -? Both parties agree: Appropria tions for expenses of the Government made during the nast session aggre gate $1.027.m3.44fi. These contentions epitomize the an nual review of national appropria tions and expenditures, made public by Chairman Tawney, of the Appro priations Committee of the House, and Representative Livingston, of Georgia, ranking Democratic member of that committee. Tawney's fixed charge statement is based on deduct ing from the aggregate the authoriza tions which carry no annronrlationB: Panama Canal cost, which bond sales will pay for: the $20,000,000 for rec lamation projects, which an issue of indebtedness certificates will cover, and deficiency appropriations and miscellaneous acts for payment of claims and other special matters ex pendable the present fiscal year In stead of the nett. Tawney asserted that a summarv of the#.constructive legislation of the first regular session of the Sixty-first Con gress constitutes a record of accom plishment surpassing in Imnortance any previous session in the history of Congress. Livingston denounced what he callrd a large increase on ac count of public expenditures, an in crease of the public debt, "half a bill ion dollars, spent for militarism, and the treasury drained for Army and Navy." Tawnev said there was a substan tial. reduction in the current military expenses, while Livingston asserted that under the reclamation Issue and naval appropriations "we have a pol icy that stands for interest bearing bonds issued against the hnrrfMe homes of the settlors and the laviBh handing out'of millions upon ten? of millions of dollars, raised by onerous taxation to satisfy the greed of fihlp buildcrg and armor plate contractors. and to maintain a national policy of pomp and splendor." Tawney urged abrogation of the rule. Instituted by n Democratic House, giving to eight different com- 1 mittees the power of preparing the money bills for each Congress and the adoption of a new rule constituting one committee, large enough to be representative of every section, to have initial control over all appro priation bills. He supported this by showing that the Appropriations Committee In the bills in Its jurisdiction cut $16.9.13,? 92f? under the oBtlmntes, while the bill from the seven other committees exceeded the estimates by $27,931,* 402, Tawney figured that the total defi ciencies appropriated for at the last session are less by $7;587,654 than those of the previous ^esslon and $ 1 1,825,789 less than the average an nual deficiencies since the Spanish War. Livingston, comparing the four years of Roosevelt's term with the last four years of Cleveland's Admin istration, said there was ''nearly $4. 000.000,000 for four years of Repub licanism, as compared with less than half that sum for the same >erlod by a Democratic President." Tawnev contended that a redaction of >28,529,821 from the last session of the Sixtieth Congress had been achieved. He said that the Adminis tration had rendered Congress mate rial aid In reducing expenses, and that a wholesome balance between revenues and expenditures had been restored, and that prospects indicated that the Government receipts for the fiscal year 1911 would exceed the au thorized appropriations by $11,937, 812. The Democratic' view was that "again the high-water mark of a bill ion dollars of expenditures is passed." that including the authorized recla mation issue, river and harbor obli gations, public buildings authorized, lighthouses, etc., the total direct and indirect appropriations for the Inst session reached $1,096,952,051, In creasing the previous regular session's appropriations by $15,207,909. BILLS OF TAFT ON CALENDAR FOR NEXT SESSION Washington, P. C.?The fragment* of the Tnft legislative program which failed of Congressional enactn-.ent at the Session In^t ended have heen Hacked In niolh halls for preservation until next winter. The calendar as already framed up Includes these measures: To create the Appalachian and White Mountain forest reserve. To build UP the merchant marine by a system of ship subsidies. To regulate the granting of injunc tions. To permit the Federal Incorpora tion of railroads and other common carriere. To regulate the issue of stocks and bonds of transportation companies. The enactment of additional con servation measures, eight bills re maining without action. To establish a bureau of public health. " To encourage the study of agricul ture and the mechanical art*, for which an approplation of $10,000,000 is proposed. A civil government for Alaska. Modification of the Sherman Anti Trust act. Codification of the postal laws and reorganization of the postal system. A plan for the retirement of civil service employes. To expedite litigation In Federal courts. Beyond these there are many minor ?iatter? to come up for action. Among hem are the Rockefeller Foundation 'charter and a measure for the regu lation Of cold storage. Two Impor tant Investigating committees will make their reports and possibly a third one. It (a certain the Ballln ger-Plnchot committee will report Its finding* to Con great and the commit tee which la to make the Inquiry Into the election of Senator Lorlmer will do likewise.
