Claims of Tawney and MOrris-Pres-

Washington, March SIT is impossible
to tell which side Of the Cuban question
has a majority of the house republicans.
Three conferences have been held and the
fourth will come Thursday night. Both
sides are claiming victory, but it is per-
fectly clear to disinterested observers
that no definite poll has been made or can
be made
Tawney thinks he has 10 republican
members committed to his plan. Judge
Morris thinks he has at least 100. The
other factions claim equal strength. The
unwillingness to come to vote in confer
ence and the fact that a fourth confer
ence is to be held shows better than any
partizan claims how evenly balanced the
contending forces are and how impossible
it is to know what the ultimate result
will be. Much bitterness has been stirred
| up between republican members of the
ways and means committee and between
republicans generally on the floor, and
| should the president send special Cuban
! message it is understood this bitterness
will as result, be intensified.

believing that recently a vessel fyiag, the
German flag landed Mauser rifles on the
coast Of Batangas for the use of the in
surgents It is said that the shipment
comprised seventy cases, or 1,400 rifles
with ammunition. The rifles can be bought
in Germany and Japan for $13 Mexican
and readily command $50 gold on being
delivered to the insurgent commanders
In view of the existence of numerous
recruiting stations In the district of Ma

importations are a serious matter.

Washington, March 5.-Mr. Clay Of
Georgia spoke in the senate to-day in OPP
position to the ship subsidy bill. He
deprecated policy which had for it's
purpose subsidy to shipowners under
the guise of mail pay. Senator Clay de-
voted the main portion of his argument
to an attack upon the general subsidy
feature, which is separate from the ocean

as vicious in principle in that it is an
effort to aid private business through

WAR MANEUVERS
NOT TO BE SPECTACULAR
Navy to Use Smokeless Powder and
Subcaliber Tubes in
Large Guns.

The spectacular features of the Joint
war maneuvers off the eastern end Of
Long Island will be lost. so far as the
navy is concerned. by the decision. which
has been reached to use subcaliber tubes
of only one inch in diameter in the large
guns. 1t has also been decided to use
smokeless powder. The firing OF smoke
less powder creates practically no re-
port. Though. Of course, it is aprreciable
to the sight, II is not by any means %
so great an extent as the old powder.
Some question has arisen as to the
ability OF the umpires ashore to deter
mine the points of the war game if they
are unable to see the smoke from the
guns or to hear the sound of their ex-
plosion. The army will employ the old
fashioned black powder in the fortIfca-
tions and there will be plenty OF din and
smoke when they go into action.

BLOPING COUPLE
RETURN TO WARRBNTON
j. R. Utterback to Answer a
Serious Charge.
Warrant States He Enticed Miss Ed
wards From Home for I'M
proper Purposes.
Especial to The Washington Timcs.)


ALEXANDRIA, Va, Aug. 2.-Consta-
BILE E. R. Foley, of Werrenton. Va,
arrived here this morning. and took in
custody J. Reuben Utterback. of that
place, who eloped from Warrenton
yesterday with Henrietta Edwards. the
thur Edwards. who resides eight miles
from Warrenton. The girl accompanied
him. Utterbach was handcuffed. The
girl was escorted TO the depot by Pc
liceman Roberts. A large crowd OF curl
Gus citizens were a. the station, await
ing the arrival of the party. The girl
walked with her head cast down, and
appeared Inundated over her position.
They left at 1l:40 o'clock
The charge against Utterback is more
serious than was first thought He must
answer for enticing Miss Edwards
away from her home for immoral pur-
poses" 1t IS reported that the girl is
not fourteen years old, but only thic-
teen. II this is proven, he charge OF
rape may be preferrel against Utter
back, and the crime Is punishable. in
the discretion Of the jury, by death
Utterback, however. does not under
stand this. He says that the father of
the girl would have killed him had he
known the condition of affairs.
Fauquier Citizens Indignant.
Constable Foley stated this morning
that the people of Fauquier county are
highly indignant over the affair. He be-
lieves. however. that the citizens will
let the law take It's course. Owing to
the fact that a difficulty might occur
between Utterback and the father of
the young girl. Constable Foley this
morning persuaded him to remain at
home
Utterback and Miss Edwards reached
this city yesterday morning and regis
tered as man and wife at the boarding
house of Mrs. Davis. 2l1 North Fairfax
Street. They remained there until
shortly before 3 O'Clock, when they were
arrested.
Miss Edwards denied this morning
that she had taken $50 from her fathers
home. as was reported from warrenton.
She said that he never had that much
money In the house
Utterback seemed In a very repentant
mood this morning. He stated that he
served term of four years in the Rich
mond penltentiary for rob5tng store
at The Plains when he was very young.
The warrant for Utterback's arrest
was sworn out before Justice Green, on
complaint OF E. N. Edwards. brother OF
the girl.
1t is charged that Utterback. July 81
or August !, did unlawfully and felon-
ioasly take Henrietta Edwards. 4 fe-
male under fourteen years of age, from
the care of Arthur Edwards, her father.

of the murdered man, was also one Of

HALF-HOLIDAY PLAN
DEEMED UNWISE

ters relating to negotiable instruments.
These holidays, therefore, are not TO be
classed with Sunday. which at common
law was Dies non iuridicuS.
There is. therefore. no requirement In
the law for STOPPING the operations Of
the government of the District of Co.
iumbia on Saturdays from u o'clock
noon. II Is a question of executive dis
cretion under the limitations OF the
needs of the public service. Under the
exercise of this discretion by the Com
missioners, the District offices have been
closed on Saturdays at o'clock for
many years, although the public works
OF the District have not been suspended
on Saturdays before the hour OF sus-
pension on other days.
This early closing of the Ditrict Of
fees on Saturdays the year round is an
exceptional practice in Washington, and
is not followed by any of the depart
ments of the General Government, al
though all of them at one time or
another have closed at o'clock on Sat
urdays during hot weather.
Many Hours Would Be Lost.
ITO close the District offices at 12
O'Clock noon every Saturday would deprive
the District in the course of year OF 156
hours of service, or over twenty-five Of
fetal days of the ordinary seven-hour
type. To shut down the public works,
and suspend the other operations of the
District government at u o'clock noon
every Saturday. would seriously impair
the efficiency of the public service In
either case per diem employees would lose
half days pay every Saturday.
THE Commissioners are obliged to
represent to Congress every session
that the number of employees OF the Dis
trict government Is insufficient to carry
on its operations without overworklng
many Of the employees, and also that
in many instances the compensation al
lowed by law is not commensurate with
the prolonged and exacting daily duties
Of the employees.
Cannot Ask for Increase.
1.-THE Commissioners cannot well con-
tinue TO ask for an increase of
force or for increases in compen-
satioD IL they voluntarily give q half
holiday every Saturday to the officials
and employees of the District govern
ment. ! do not believe that Congress in
tended that they should give such o
weekly half-holiday.
III Congress desires to have il done, IL
can so declare. Such action on its part
ought TO be followed by an increase of
force to perform the work that would
otherwise have 10 be added to the al
ready over-burdened days of the week
preceding Saturday noon"

Quandary for Officials.

Prof. Moore naturally is in consider
able OF 4 quandary as what to do. He
has set his force of weather prognosti-
Gators at work 20 prove that there IL
absolutely no danger of the colored as
trologer's prophecy coming true, but
thus far his best efforts have proved un-
availing to stop the hegira OF walters
and chambermaids. who, OF course, have
more confidence in the prescience OF
their prophet than in the dicta of the
Governments experienced scientists
What Prof, Moore Says.
The panic created by the unknown
negro astrologer at Atlantic City. Prof.
Moore says, is only a sample OF the work
that has been and Is being done by false
prophets In this country and other parts
OF the world. since the eruption of Mont
Pelee. Every astrologer and seer in the
United States and Europe appears to
have been aroused TO activity by the
volcanic horror in Martinique, he says,
and the dire predictions they are turn
ing out are frightening the credulous all
over the country.
There Is no more danger OF a tidal
wave at Atlantic City this month, or
next month, or the month after, than
there Is that the Washington Monument
will be destroyed by cyclone tonight"
said Prof. Moore.
The eruption OF Mont Pelee has had
no more effect upon the atmospheric
conditions OF this continent than would
q lighted tallow candle have upon the
temperature of the equatorial regions.
But every so-cailed astrologer and
weather prophet III creation seems to
have been melted to renewed activity by
the calamity in Martinique, and | sup
pose there Is little use in our trying TO
calm the fears created bv these peo-
pie"

Knew the Food That Furnished Power.
A grandmother, by studying the proper
selection Of food, cured herself of stom-
ach trouble and severe headaches. Later
on she was able TO save her little grand
daughter because OF her knowledge Of
food
She says: when baby was five months
old she was weaned because OF the Sc
we're Illness of her mother. She was put
on prepared baby food but soon lost
flesh and color, became hollow eyed and
fretful. We changed her food several
times but with no permanent benefit. At
last her stomach rebelled entirely and
threw up nearly everything she took
She would be wet with a cold perspira-
tion after feeding and would cry pite-
ously with pain That is n dangerous
condition for a small baby and In this
extremity ! remembered how beautifully
Grape-Nuts had agreed with me, and
suggested we try the food for baby.
We began very carefully with it. CIV
Ing two small teaspocnfuls at a feeding
softened with boiling water and fed in
steriliaed milk. warmed. The expert
ment Was a perfect success.
She has been on the food five weeks
and can now eat other food for the
change in this brief time Is wonderful
She has gained over three pounds in
weight, has rosy cheeks. bright eyes,
and she has the appearance OF salts
factorily nourished and thriving child"
The reason that Grape Nuts will agree
with adults and babies is that the starch
Of the cereals has been transformed into
grape sugar in the process of manufac-
ture, and when introduced into the stom-
ach it is ready for immediate assimila-
tion and does not tax the powers of the
organs of digestion. The result is al
ways beneficial and the food has saved
thousands of lives

Prof. w. L. Moore Talks of Foolish Pre-
diction of Afro-American

Prof. Willis l.. Moore. Chief OF the
Weather Bureau, who in the absence OF
Secretary Wilson is Acting Secretary OF
Agriculture. is receiving pleading peu-
tions from hotelkeepers at Atlantic CITY
TO issue an official statement concerning
ocean weather OF the near future. Ac-
cordlng to the reports received, the col
ored walters at manv of the hotels are
hurrying away from that resort, under
the dread that Atlantic City Is to be en-
gulfed by fierce tidal wave by Aug
ust 10.
The Atlantic City bonifaces have in
formed Prof. Moore that some time ago
an o-American astrologer of more or
less influence among the people Of his
race predicted tho coming OF hurricane
In the ocean Of the Jersey coast that
would destroy Atlantic City and drown
everybody there. The negroes there, it
seems. have become panic-stricken, and
nothing that their wnite employers Gan
dc or say Will reassure them that there
is no danger. The result is that In
many hotels nearly all the colored help
has fed
