BE Tried Elsewhere
Il observe that the palms and the other
species Of tropical trees planted in tubs
and placed on the roof of the city post
office within the inclosed court of the post
office building are thriving" said a Wash
ingtonian who has lived in California, to a
Star reporter this morning in the building
With the illuminated clock tower.
"The fan palms, Of which there are two,
green shoots this spring. sprouting up in
the center of the spreading feathery
fronts of these beautiful and graceful
plants. indicating life and growth. The
experiment was tried in the court with
otics would live through a winter out
side Of a dollhouse. 1t is true that the
winter has not been very severe this year,
and the court, which Is not heated by
direct means, has not been as cold as
would have been the case had we eXperi-
encer a rigorous winter. The fact that
they have lived and put forth new shoots
proves the success Of the effort to beautify
the court, If the plants will bear the with
ering heat Of the summer, absence Of out
door air and sunlight. Several Of the plants
receive the reflected rays OF the sun
through the upper glass roof, ard these are
In better condition than the others.
1T seems to me that there are several
other public buildings in Washington
where palms could be, placed to advan-
tage. They do not drop their leaves, are
no trouble to care for requiring only an
abundance of water. AS they come from
the well stocked conseTvAtories Of the gov
eminent they may be obtained by the
government without cost

three-fourths When he grew rapid and
half. Metternichs enunciation was most
distinct. l understood all that he said. OF
the two history tutors Of the duke l under

naus; his speech sounded to me like Met

Marie Louise said. AS for the 'Quelques

to me entirely unintelligible; she initiates
Bernhard in her alarm-clock delivery with
great success AS a whole, therefore, it
is probable that l understood perfectly
about one-half Of the spoken words; under
favorable conditions about three-fourths.
THE dialogues going on around me at a
French play discourage me. They show
plainly that my neighbors understand
everything, while l understand almost
nothing. This dialogue. for example, went
on behind me the other night:
"He-Well. you understand it pretty well,
don't you?
"She-Oh, yes, understand her perfectly.
Her French is SO PareeZhun, You know.

one in the big hat.
"She-Oh, no. Marie Louise wouldn t
have hat on, you know. She would be

Of course, you understand what she says?
THE First He-Oh, yes pretty well.

went on behind me. Were they honest or

blowing off steam at the exhaust. Whs
they professed to understand sounded to
me like this:

sEABoARD LINE STOPPED.
Company Restrained From Acquiring
 the South Bound.

Columbia, s. C., May 16.-Today at Chester, Judge Gage issued an order re- strafning the Seaboard Air Line from acquiring the South Bound Railroad, and ordering the authorities of the latter road to show cause why receiver should not be appointed.
 The South Bound was built eight years ago between Columbia and Jacksonville. It was immediately leased by the Florida Central and Peninsula. Later the Sea- board acquired by lease the property of the Florida Central and Peninsula. The latter road was never incorporated in this State, nor has the Seaboard Air Line domestic charter. Consequently. damage suits must be made out against the South Bound.
 It is said several persons have verdicts against the South Bound aggregating nearly 1000. and when they attempted to levy on the property of the South Bound to collect these judgments they were informed by sheriffs in two coun- ties that the South Bound owns no property subject to levy.
 The complaint before Judge Gage al- leged that neither of the successors of the South Bound should lease or operate that road, as they are not chartered un- der the laws of this State. and that a received should be appointed for the in- solvent South Bound.

CAPTAIN CARTER
 WILL TRY AGAIN Application Based on Recent De- cislon of Judge Brown THE PRISON WARDEN TALKS He Says Capt. Carter Does Not Suffer Any Unnecessary IndientIes
 In the Leavenworth Prison.
 color Line Not Drawn.

Atlanta, Ga, May 16.-R. w. Mo Claughey, warden of the Leavenworth prison who was in Atlanta today. told a ter, former captain of engineers, United States army, would make another effort before the Supreme Court to secure his release on bail from the prison at Fort Leavenworth.
 q understand" said Major Me Claughey, that Carter will base his ap- plication on the recent decision of Judge Brown ordering Green and the Gaynors back to Savannah for trial Carter was jointly indicted with them for conspiracy, and he claims that it is necessary for him to be there to stand trial and to furnish the necessary technical evidence in the case.
 His appeal from the decision of Judges Thayer and Hook denying him habeas corpus is still pending in the Supreme Court. but cannot be heard until next fall because the court is now taking a vaca- tion. Neither can his second application for bail on these new grounds be heard before that time"
 Warden McClaughey was asked about the reports that Carter had to sit next to negroes at times in the dining hall.
 That is hardly correct" the warden replied. Of course, when the prisoners are at work We can make no distinction They must work side by side irrespective of color or crime. But no unnecessary indignity Is put upon Carter or any other white prisoners. There may be me- groes and Indians at the dining room at the same time with white prisoners, but they occupy one end of the hall, while the white prisoners are in the other end. Neither are the races mixed in the cells. Where more than one person occupies tho same cell they are persons of the same race and color"
 We have about eight hundred prison CTS at Leavenworth," the warden con tinued, and of these about 150 are ne- groes. while about 125 are Indians"
 Warden McClaughey will leave tomor- row for Washington.
