THE LATE NM. SAUNDERS.
Tribute of His Associates I'm the
Agricultural Department.

4 meeting of the associates of the late
William Saunders, horliculturist OF the
Department of Agriculture, was held In the
office of the Secretary of Agriculture yester-
day afternoon. In calling the meeting to
order Secretary Wilson said:
you have learned, gentlemen. that our
friend Mr. Saunders, who has been con-
nccted with the department longer than
almost any one else, has been called to the
reward of all good men, While we are here
in the department We are bound up In du-
ties that bring us into very close relations,
and when one is taken away II is the uni
yersal sentiment that what we can say or
do to recognize his worth as man and
fellow-worker, it is right and proper for
US to do. That is why l have called you
to my Office this afternoon, and l am now
ready to listen to any suggestions you may
have to offer.
DR.. b. r. Galloway said: II have known
MI Saunders for about twenty years and
have been personally associated with him
for about fifteen He was man of strong
convictions, and his personality has had A
remarkable influence on horticulture and
agriculture in this country. Mr.. Saunders
was a prolific writer, and for number of
years was the editor of several important
horticultural journals. About the begin
ming of the war he came here, at which
time these grounds were without ornament
of any kind. The result Of his great la
bors about us today.
A committee, consisting of DR.. Galloway,
Dr. L. O. How ard and DIR. A. c. True, was
appointed by the Secretary to draft suita-
BILE resolutions The committee reported
the following:
I'm the death of Mr.. William Saunders
the Department Of Agriculture has lost a
faithful and efficient officer and American
agriculture and horticulture a true and
trusted friend. AS superintendent of the
gardens and grounds of this department
for more than thirty-five years and as n
promoter of many important agricultural
and horticultural lines of work Mr.. Saun-
ders' name has become famous throughout
the land. His ability as landscape gar
dener was universally recognized, and his
knowledge of plants from a strictly eco
nomic standpoint was of most thorough
kind The beautiful department grounds

the most choice varieties of fruits which
now bless our country are the result OF
his keen insight into horticultural work
Mr.. Saunders was a man of sterling
honesty, manifeSting strong interest in
the progress of our country and the adj
, vancement of the man at the plow In
his desire to benefit the farmer he was
the organizer of the Patrons of Husbandry
or National Grange and a number of other
associations which have had a marked in
fluence on the country's welfare.
ITO the world Mr. Saunders was noted
for his strong convictions to what was
estimable citizen, his loss will be felt by
all who knew him..
This was followed by a resolution: THAT
the sympathies of the officers of the De-
! partment of Agriculture and other assO-
ciateS of Mr.. Saunders be extended to the
widow and family of the deceased. and that
q copy of this minute and resolution be
transmitted to them.
In moving the adoption of these resolu-
TONS Dr. Howard said: II have known

PUBLIC VEHICLES.
Amendment of Regulations Relative
to Schedule of Rates.

The attention Of the District Commission
ers was invited today by Mr.. A. Leftwich
Sinclair, third assistant attorney of the
District to the necessity for such an
amendment of the police regulation relative
to public vehicles will establish a sched-
ule of rates to be charged by the owners
or proprietors of horseless vehicles. Mr.
Sinclair stated that Monday last his at
tention called to an alleged fragrant
case of overcharging on the part of the
operator of an automobile engaged in the
transportation of passengers for hire on
the streets He declined, however, to grant
r warrant for the arrest of the man for
the reason that in his (Sinclairs) judgment
a case of this character could not be sue
cessfully prosecuted while the schedule of
hack rates, to be found in the police regu-
laticns. remains in its present shape.
This schedule. explained Mr.. Sinclair.
specifically prescribes rates for ''one-horse'
and ''two-horse'' vehicles and clearly could
not, in his opinion. be held to apply to
automobiles or to other horseless vehicles.
He reminded the Commissioners that they
were advised the first of last May by the
first assistant attorney for the District that
automobiles and other horseless vehicles
operated for the conveyance of passengers
for hire in the District are subject to the
provisions of the existing license law, and
that they were clothed with sufficient power
and authority to regulate the charges made
by owners proprietors of such convey
ances.
."The premises considered" stated Mr..
Sinclair, Il have the honor to recommend
that they are clothed with sufficient power
amended so as to include, in express terms
automobiles and other horseless vehicles
which are being operated so extensively
for the transportation Of passengers upon
the streets of our city. ! respectfully sug-
gest that the desired object can be accom-
plished by the PRONUNCIATION of an order to
the effect that hereafter automobiles and
other horseless vehicles shall be considered
,f<la hi f1n mir n
this schedule"
1t Is understood that the recommendation
made by Mr.. Sinclair will be approved by
the Commissioners

Some saved, Others Lost.
Several of the many Washingtonians who
had near and dear ones In Galveston when
the awful disaster overwhelmed the city
have been relieved of their terrible anxiety.
Miss Celeste Heider Of the census bureau,
whose father, mother and two brothers
were residing In Galveston, received tel
egram from Charles Heider. one of her
brothers, announcing that the members of
the family were all SAFE but had lost all
their property
Mr. Claude J. Neis of the Congressional
Library also received dispatch today from
his brother, John j. Neis, announcing the
safety of their parents and sister. The tel
egram closed: Everything lost. Thousands
dead"
Mr. William Nichols, also Of the Congress
sionai Library. received news that his fam
lily was safe, but had lost everything.
Differing from such comforting intelli-
gence however, was that which the wires
conveyed to Mr.. Ed. Jones of the Southern
railway office. He received word from Gal
weston Of the drowning Of his brothers wife
and her young daughter.
tice Alvey and nephew OF Capt Perry AL
vey OF Galveston. had not learned this af-
ternoon whether his uncle and family had
suffered from the storm or not.

used. Detachments of militia have been
stationed at Texas City and Virginia Point
to prevent the passage of persons who have
no business in Galveston and whose pres

at Texas City up to last night. All of these
floated in from the island. Probably 2Go

Relief Committees Estimate.
The following statement of conditions at
Galveston and appeal for aid is issued by
the local relief committee:
"A conservative estimate of the loss of
life is that it will reach 1900; at least S.
600 families shelterless and wholly des-
titute. The entire remainder of the popu-
latfon is suffering in greater or less de-
gree. Not single church, school. or chart
table institution. of which Galveston had
SO many, is left intact. Not a building
escaped damage, and half the whole num-
Der were entirely obliterated. There is i'm
mediate need for food, clothing and house
hold goods of all kinds. If nearby cities
will open asylums for women and children
the situation will be greatly relieved. Coast
cities should send us water as well as pro-
visions, including kerosene oil, gasoline and
candles. w. {. Jones, mayor; M. Lasker

thought that the law passed by Congress
at It's last session would give US some re-
lief. but so far 1t seems imperative. The
resident of this region must be compelled
these hot nights to wear his hat when he
sits out Of doors on account of the cinders
falling upon him from smoke coming from
this company's stack. Mothers have to
attach sun shades to the baby carriages
when they take their little ones out of an
evening to get a breath of fresh air for
fear they may be blinded by these cinders.
