COAL FAMINE PRICES
IN CITY LAUNDRIES
Washermen Fail to Make Correspond
ing Reduction in Their Rates.

While the coal strike was in progress
this city-both American and Chinese
raised their prices for work. Customers
mildly objected 20 the increase at the
time but IL was a question OF paying
the prices or wearing soiled linen. At
the conclusion or the strike coal dropped
ia its normal figure. but the laundrymen
did not make corresponding change in
their prices.
The proprietors Of the American or
steam laundries raised the price and the
Chinamen quickly fell in line. Vigorous
protests were made by customers when
laundrymen did not lower prices after
the strike. These did not avail anything.
and the majority OF laundries in the city
are today charging identically the same
prices rs they asked when coal was sold
for SO. SO. and ST. ton At present
coal brings $3.50, 81. 81. and $3.50 ton,
and about SO worth OF laundry work can
be done with a single ton.
Recently FIVE or six of the laundries
which charged 2lk cents for laundering
collar OF any description and cents
for pair of cuffs made the announce
ment that they would take the one-half
cents off and charge only cents for
washing 4 pair OF cuffs. Corresponding
reductions we're made on all other
pieces OF wearing apparel The major
ity Of the laundries still stick to the
high prices. however

House OF Representatives to select a
site for the building for the House com

WASHINGTON ELM HAD
HIS PROFILE IN HEART
Nature Defends Authenticity of Dis
puted Historical Tree.

HARTFORD, Conn. March I4.-Doubt
about the authenticity OF the Washing
ton" elm in Main Street now seems al
most put at rest by nature herself.
The story was that Washington stopped
under that tree when he visited Capt
jeremiah WadswOrth on the occasion Of
the conference with Rochambeau. Ac-
cordingly. the tree had been preserved
with tender care and marked with a tab
let by the Daughters OF the Revolution
Recently il was decided that what was
left Of the tree must come down before
it should fall. Many went yesterday to
get pieces Of the tree. and the people
who said that the Washington story was
myth were unpopular Believe it,"
exclaimed Superintendent OF Streets
HausIing why, II that tree could
speak. IL would prove it."
A moment later he picked Up a limb
some four inches through. and there at
the cross section was a perfect profile
OF Washington, like miniature in
sepia. 1t was made by the brown heart
OF the limb
Oficers of the Connecticut Historical
Society pronounce IL a marvel Mr.
Hausling will have it mounted and
handed down to succeeding generations.

TWO PHASES OF LIFE
At THE MIDDAY HOUR
Inc Noon Meal of the Workman and
His Weather Brother.

In the heart OF Washington's business
center, where thousands throng the
streets, a true illustration Of fate's
'aearles Is presented every day before
the eyes OF the hurrying crowds. But IL
is doubtful If many ever pause to view
so minor an incident. when time is cost
~ In the mad rush OF modern enter
prise.
ne picture describes two phases OF
lie. each the direct antithesis of the
other. With grim accuracy it shows the
natural difference between the rich and
poor. 1t demonstrates the contrast in
their ways OF living. and leaves the
impression that the poor have a few
advantages. in spite of the great handi-
cap or not possessing wealth.
Every day at noon a small army OF
workingmen suspend operations on a
building near large hotel and pre-
pare to eat in the hour allotted for the
performance OF that duty.
The plain fare disappears with keen
relish. No time is wasted with useless
formalities. The wholesome food is
there for a recognized purpose; that is.
TO wipe out a huge appetite. II dis
charges the duty with faithfulness. In
brief. the lunch is thoroughly enjoyed.
for their labors are productive of hun
ger
At about the same time. or perhaps a
little later. a stream OF men hurry past
the busy workers on their way TO the
hotel restaurant Their purpose is ap-
parent. Like all other mortals, they are
answering an unseen summons 10 the
midday meal. But what they eat and
how they eat is very different from their
less fortunate brothers.
They have done no hard physical la
bors 20 edge the appetites. Their bust
ness pursuits are not of that sort. They
have probably dfned until late the night
before. or early that morning. In short.
there Is not the same vim as that dis
played by the workingman. But never
theless. hearty lunch is ordered. and
the waiter is given a Tip" which would.
perhaps, purchase three Of the other
meals
And now the question arises. Who en-
joys the lunch hour most?

AMUSEMENT BUILDING
EXCITES CRITICISM

IN army circles there Is some adverse
criticism upon the appropriation by Con
gress OF S1Z5.OOO for an amusement
building TO be erected at Fort Mver.
Va. Many officers believe that where
such liberal appropriations are made
for such purposes that the benefit should
go TO posts on the frontier re-
mote from the large cities where
the opportunities for diversion are
less than at such places as Fort
Myer. On the other hand, il is argued
that greater temptations are offered 20
the men in posts which are located near
the cities and hence there should be put
forth efforts TO keep the soldiers away
from them.
The plans for the Fort Myer amuse-
ment building are being drafted and will
provide for a structure of two stories
and basement. There viii be a large and
well-equipped gymnasium With a run
ming track, bowling alley. shooting
gallery, swimming pool. a post ex-
change store and ONCE. lunch room,
lounging aud smoking room.

FITZHUGH LEE fAVORS
GIVING TWO STATUES
General Would Present Government
With Casts of Washington and Lee.

RICHMOND. Va, March 14.-Yester-
day Gen. Fltzhugh Lee was asked VIII It
he thought about placing the statue OF
Gen. Robert E. Lee in the Capitol al
Washington
Il think il would have been wiser" he
said. not to have taken the matter up
at this time. but as il has been done. I
indorse the action Of the Legislature in
standing steady In the face OF a hostile
fire"
General Lee divided the people OF the
North into three classes-those who are
liberal and broad-minded. who know the
war is long over and appreciate the
continents of Virginians who want 10
honor their great leader; those who are
Indifferent and not disposed TO interfere
with what belongs exclusively 10 Vir-
ginia. and those who make the noise and
howl in the public prints. some Of
whom, IL the searchlight were turned on
their past military records. would show
that they were practically invisible In
war and are trying 20 make up for their
deficiency by appearing TO be invincible
in peace.
He said he would like TO see the State
Of Virginia present a handsome bronze
statue of Washington to the United
states Government, to take the place of
the plaster cast now in the Capitol. and
at the same time II should present a
statue Of Lee. If the Government re-
fused 10 accept both. both should be
placed in the capitol here
