mental tank at the Washington navy yard.
The experiments which are to be made In
this tank when built will be for the pur
pose of aiding in making designs, testing
power and speed, and, in fact, all that
sappertains To naval architecture. The eX-
periinents will be made with miniature
vessels, the counterpart of original lie
signs, but on a reduced scale, and it IS
claigned by the Navy Department that such
experiments will be OF great value TO 1t.

this tank. as follows: Washington AsphalU

HIGHER PRICES FOR MEATS
Especially for Beef Housekeep-
ers Will Have to Pay More.
TRUSTS QUEEZING THEMARKET
Having Crowded Out the Small
Dealers by Cutting Prices 1t
Now Recoups by Raising Them
No Prospect That the Public Will
Get Relief for Some Time.

washington housekeepers may expect
crease in the price of all kinds of meat,
especially beef. The advance has not CT
ually taken placein the local markets, hut
the dealers say they are now paying a
higher price for good meats than Tor many
years, and that they must raise the re-
tail pricein order to protect themselves.
One of the most intelligent dealers in
talking OF he matter TO The lines reporter,
gave some interesting facts in regard to
the state of the local beef market. He
also made some observations, which, as d
reflection OF tie sentiments of local deal
ers, will be of interest. He attributed the
impending advancein prices to two reasons.
The first and primary cause he believed
to lie in the fact that there is less good
stall-fed beef or the market this year than
for several years past. This, he said, was
caused by the retirement of many cattle
raiscrs froii the business because OF the
low prices which prevailed for several
years The low prices were the direct
result Of the big operators, such as Swift,
Armour Morris and others, practically
gaming control OF the market and driving
out the smaller dealers Now that they
have gained contIol OF the market, they
find 1t to their advantage to limit he sup
ply Of beef and thus furnish themselves
with the plausible excuse OF raising the
price owing To the scarcity"
This Fact, the dealer said, was well
known among the smaller dealers all over
the country, and there is a fear among
them that this squeeze Will be per
cepnbly tighter from now on
The same dealer said that Senator Vest
visited him at his place Of business short
time ago and asked him many questions
with regard to the conditions which pre-
vail among the local dealers. He said the
Senator expressed the belief that the big
western dealers would in short time
gain the same control over the beef market
as that which Havemeyer and the sugar
trust hold over sugar.
The Washington people" said the
dealer, 'are not as particular as TO the
quality of their meats as the New York and
Boston people Consequently the Chicago
companies dump their low-grade stock
here, which they cannot dispose OF furth.r
North. AS matter of fact, i have to
send to New York and buy my really
fine cuts. for the Chicago companies d1l I
send pound of the highest grades here.
I'VE have plenty of the Texas range or
grass beef, but the granted beef is very
scarce At the present time the b, st
grade of beef furnished us by the Western
companies costs us 81 per hundred more
than it did one year ago"

HENRY F. BAuER,s FUNERAL
Friends Pay the Last Sad Respects
to the Deceased.

The funeral services over the remains
OF Henry F. Bauer, late assistant cashier
OF the Lincoln National Bank, We're held
at his late residence, No. 216 Ninth street
| southwest, at 3 O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
Long before that hour. the pariors OF
the residence were thronged with asso-
ciates of the deceased, who were as
seinbled to render their last tribute OF
respect and affection. The many magnfi
cent floral pieces in evidence upon the
casket and about the parIors attested the
popularity OF the deceased.
These floral pieces, including massive
pillows of orchids, harps OF lilies and
other beautiful designs, were the offer
ings of scores OF friends of the deceased,
and were in such profusion that special
carriage WAS required TO convey them to
the cemetery.
The services were conducted by Rev.
PAM A Menzel, pastor uf Concordia
Lutheran Church, and Rev. Byron sunder-
land, pastor OF the First Presbyterian
Church.
With both OF these churches the de-
ceased had been associated. Rev. Mcneil
| read the service in German, in which lam
guage ne also referred TO the CnriStidn
life and the sterling character of the de-
ceased, and touched with sadness upon the
fact that Mr.. Bauer had proposed to take a
trip TO Europe on the 20th OF this month,
| and dsew a comparison between the pro-
posed earthly trip, with its contemplated
transient pleasure, and the journey taken
instead to thatrealm where, he said. eternal
happiness feigns supreme.
Rev. Byron Sunderland conducted the
English portion of the services, and spoke
Ia euiogistc terms of the deceased, rela-
tive to lis firm Christian character, his
active religious work, his upright and sue
cessful business experience, and his low
able and attractive qualities generally.
During the service a quartet from the First
Presbyterian Church rendered appropriate
hymns.
