Conference of Two Wings Met, But Come to
N, Agreement.
(Ry Associated Pr

l.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 13.-Late
this evening the work of harmonizing the
conflict over Cuban reciprocity had pro-
crossed so far that a committee of con-
ferees, or arbitrator, representing the
two sides of the controversy, assembled
to frame compromise agreement. The
meeting occupied in the private quarters
of the Ways and Means Committee room,
with Chairman Payne and Representa-
tive DalZell and Cannon present on be-
half Of the Ways and Means reciprocity
element, while five members of the OPP
position; namely: Representatives Met
calf, of California; Dick and Taylor, of
Ohio; Fordney, of Michigan, and Morris,
Of Minnesota, acted as arbitrator on be-
half of the Republicans, who have re-
sisted the Ways and Means original plan
Of twenty per cent re| vocity for an I'M
limited period.
The conference lasted about two hours,
and was not productive Of final results,
an adjournment being taken until two
P. NJ.
All plans of compromise su~eested d. were
review d. particularly t. al hitting the re-
ciprocity period until December 1908. Re
yond discussing the several plans. no ac-
ton was taken.

Ohio, shook hands with the Nebraska

dacies.

wing. Later in the day Mr.. Bryan paid
a visit to the Senate wing. He was
there entertained in the marble reception
room and met most of the Democratic
and many Of the Republican Senatirs. His
conferences with them were generally
brief. and were. as n rule. devoted to an
exchange Of social greetings. Mr.. Bryan
said that his visit to the Capitol was
without political significance.

MISSED ONE TERM OF COURT.
Judge Rives Detained in the Convention and
Is Concerned.

Judge Timothy Rives intended, up to
tho last moment. to procure a leave of
absence, so that he could hold Prince
George Court Thinking he would be
able to do this, he had not provided a
substitute judge. The critical period of
the suffrage measure being on just at
this time. Judge Hives was prevailed on
not to leave for day even. He thus
missed this weeks term of Prince George
Court and is unhappy In consequence.

there being no pressing business, add
journed court and hurried back to do

ADJUSTMENTS

There are but TIN CO, more performances
to be given at the Bljou and the attrac-
ton that has pleased SO well this week
will come to a close.
Svengalli is a wonderful entertainer.
Els contribution to the bill is not of the
Kind that creates wild applause, for 1t
is so bewildering that the people are
too startled to grow enthusiastic in ap-
plause-making. Svengalli's marvellous
feats of autobiography, as demonstrated
ny clever musician, and wonderful
character impersonator, his subjects,
cause the deepest thought, and much
speculation as to the why's and where
fores'' of the exhibition.
The other numbers on the bill are ex-
ceptionally good.
The next Offering at the Bijou will be
the Empire Show, headed by James j.
Ctrbett, who will tell stories of the hui
rncrouS side of his experiences. The at
traction will commence with matinee
Monday afternoon. ST. Patrick's Day, and

humor and her pathos, her wit and her
belligerency, her trials and her endur-

been his undertaking practice to surround
himself with actors and actresses of
more than average merit.

Municipal Decoration.
From the riew York Sun.

A timely and sensible plea for the en-
ployment of American subjects In the dec
Grafton of public buildings is made by Mr..
Charles M. Shean in the fall number of
Municipal Affairs. He backs up his argu-
ment with examples of the use of modern
costume in mural paintings in Belgium.
Germany and France. particularly in Paris.
and Of historical scenes in these countries
and in England.
American history does not spread over so
many years as that of European countries,
but it Is full of subjects that can be ex-
pressed pictorially by the artist who will
attack them in the right spirit: countless
episodes in the period of settlement. in the
colonial times, in the wars OF the revolu-
tion, of 1912 and with Mexico. There is no
reason, however, why present-day scenes
should not be represented in painting. The
early Italian and German painters did not
hesitate to depict the costumes of their
own day even in sacred pictures, and the
modern French painters have used the
dress of the people they see even in fres-
Goes. The American mechanic or farmer

page viii choose to paint him properly At

to picture for 1t the dress and scenes of
their own day. as their predecessors have
done for them.
Mr.. Shean's plan should be listened to-
Let American scenes and American ways
be depicted on American walls by Amer
lean painters. AS he points out. a good
place to make a beginning will be the new
hall of records. New York city has enough
picturesque episodes in its history to more

CANNOT BE ENFORCED
DIR. "OOdward's View of Law RELATING
to Removal of Weeds.

LII "Oou"aF0S view OF Law Relatinn "
to Removal of Weeds.
DR.. William c. Woodward, the health
oh1cer, has recommended to the District
Commissioners that an effort be made to
secure the amendment of an act to cause
the removal of weeds, etc, approved March
l. 1888. so as to make it apply only to
weeds twenty-four or more inches In height
instead Of to weeds four or more inches in
height. as at present. DIR. Woodward says
that the law in its present form cannot be
enforced without enormous cost to the gov
ernment and great annoyance and expense
to property owners.
IF the limit of the growth of weeds be
placed at twenty-four inches instead of at
four inches, he says. 1.-The expense and
trouble incident to it's enforcement will be
diminished.
The purpose of the law seems to be aes-
thetic, as there is no evidence to show
that weeds per Sc are detrimental to
health; in fact, there is no scientific dis
tlnction between weeds and other vege-
tatlon 1t is believed, however that the
dlnerence from an aesthetic standpoint
between comparatively small number of
lots with the weeds cut to a height of less
than four inches and a large number of
lots with the weeds at a height of twenty-
four inches will not be material
The Commissioners are considering tbe
matter and, it is stated, would like to have
the views of the representative residents
on the subject.

FARMERS WHO DROP STRAW.
Lieut.. Amfss Says They Are Shows
Much Leniency.


Much Leniency.
Thomas O. Selfridge of 1867 Kalorama
avenue recently wrote to the District Com
mssioners. calling attention to the arrest
of driver at 10th and G streets on ac-
count of having some straw caught by the
trees and left behind, when he was obliged
to turn aside on account of the obstruction
of the street at that point. Mr.. Selfridge
asked that some relief might be extended
to the farmers who are obliged to use 10th
street. The matter was referred to the
police department and forwarded by Major
Sylvester to Lieut.. Amiss of the first pre-
cinct for report as to any difficulty en-
countered in the manner referred to, what
has been the action of the police, and
whether it would be practicable to require
the farmers to clean up any hay or straw
that may be dropped on the roadways In
violation of the police regulations, rather
than have them undergo Police Court hear

following report:
1t has not been the custom to arrest per-
sons who haul hay and straw to the city

In this particular instance the man had on
