In St. Louis, and, according to a ve'ra- j
clous chronicler, was visited
Such is by an enterprising young re- j
Fume. porter, whoso first question
was: "Miss Addams, have
you ever had any experience in set-,
tlement work?" 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.

no one of them will lack confidence In

opportunity to deposit his little fund
In the vaults of the United States
Treasury with gratification and will

even asserted by certain .'.Western
members of Congress that the opera

by the substitution of the Federal

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?

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,

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.

?23.
Roosevelt was the potent figure in
tho day's contest. 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.

Washington. D. 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. It remains to be seen
whether the Gore bribery charge will
develop Into a national scandal.
