The time limit set upon the contractor,

weeks have elapsed since the filling
operations We're begun. and still very
considerable section of the lake is

tnat both Mr.. Holbrook and the lat

possible to fill the hole and end the
nuisance
The contractor explained to DR.. Wood
ward, and the latter was satisfied with
the visible evidences Of the truth of the
statement, that 1t has been impossible
to work during many recent days be-
cause both horses and men would be-
come ''mireo in the fresh dirt upon
which successive showers and deluges
have poured. The great amount OF rain
recently fallen has also done much to
add TO the volume of water in the
pond.
The Health Office understands that, as
soon as practicable. the remaining
water in the pond will be carried off
through the drain recently opened by
the sewer department gang.

DOES GOOD WORK IN LONDON

LONDON, July 15.-There is being
celebrated in London today in a re-
markable way the sixtieth birthday of
remarkable man. 1t is that of DR..

For the past forty years DR.. Barnardo
has been working for and among the
waits of London He established the
national waits association and with the
assistance given by charitable people
undertook to care for the wants of Lon
don's homeless little ones.
The work has grown steadily. The
association has placed within the past
few years 1850 homeless children in
the colonies and in the United States
Close watch is kept on these children,
and it is found that not more than =
per cent fail to do Well There are now
in the various homes of the association.
$500 children most of whom will be
placed in good homes in colonies
Some time ago friends CT the work de-
cided to mark DR.. Barnardo's birthday
by the presentation of fund which
would put the work on a foundation
Lord Brassey consented to act as treas
urer. and among those who contributed
and took an active part in raising the
fund were the Duke of Argyll Lord
Aberdeen, Lord Roberts, the Duchess of
Somerset, the Bishop of London. the
Bishop of Stepney, the Rev. r. j. Camp
bell, and Archdeacon Saint-Clair.
The fund was presented today. with
appropriate ceremonies Many subscrip-
tions were received from former bene-
fciaries of DR. Barnardo's work.

MRS. VANDEVENTER
MAY BE ARRESTED

or more times that it was contrary to
her wishes
Attorney James O'Shea, who lived in
the same house. and also boarded with
Mrs. McAuhffe, said yesterday that the
DAY after the woman ran the needle in
her foot and while she was suffering
great pain from it, Carlton persuaded
her to dress in her street clothes and
leaye the house. She repeatedly said
she did not feel like going out He in
sisted. and she finally acquiesced.
Mrs. McAuiiffe and Mr. OfShea say
they learned that Carlton walked his
wife from Fifth and Z streets southeast
TO the Geological garden and back with
out rest
Attorney OShea says he was quite
friendly with Mrs. Carlton Her bus
band seldom took her out with him,
and hardly ever brought any friends 20
the house. The wife. remaining in the
house, talked with Mrs. McAuliffe, her
daughter-in-law. and Mr. O'Shea most
OF the time that her husband was away.
Dying Woman Sent for Him.
The day that Mrs. Carlton was dying
she asked Mr. O'Shea to be summoned
TO her bedside. as she had something to
tell him. Mr.. O'Shea went to the
CARTONS apartments on the third floor
By the time he arrived there the
woman was writhing in agony and
unable to utter syllable. although she
made efforts TO part her jaws and
speak to the attorney, who transacted
several legal matters for Carlton and
his wife
But little is known of the history of
CARTON and his wife prior to their
advent in Washington. 1t is said they
boarded for some time in a house in
Brooklyn with German woman, who
was very conyersant with their affairs,
and wrote TO them after they came to
Washington.

CROOKED COTTON DEAL
AR0USES THE PRESIDENT
CONTINUED from First Page

report was tampered with, but there
are other reasons besides In the first
place, there was q misunderstanding on
the part of the correspondents as TO
whether they should report the acreage
planted up to May 25 and stop there
or whether they should include in their
report the probable acreage for the
month of June
Cnder ordinary circumstances the cot
ton Is all planted by the end of May
but this is a peculiar year, and a great
deal Of cotton was planted in June.
Again. weather conditions and other
causes have forced the planters TO aban-
don certain percentages of their crops
in various localities. AS these changes
have occurred since the June report the
cotton men naturally feel that they have
not an accurate idea Of the amount of
cotton under cultivation.
All these reasons were presented to
Secretary Wilson last light, and he was
greatly impressed witt them. 1t is prob,
ably merely a matter funds with him
and it IS expected t>at, after talking
with Mr.. Hyde on Monday. he will or
der the new report. Mr.. Hyde Is strong
" in favor of it.

Citizens Complaining.
Because the hole In which Death

obliterated, many citizens of the neigh

1t was in running down the cause OF
these protests at the District building
yesterday that the past history and
present status Of the question was un-
earthed.
1t seems that about six weeks ago
the Health Department notified T. L.
Holbrook, president OF the Washington

known both as Devils Lake" and
Death Lake was a nuisance which
must be abated. Some little contro-
yersy between the company and the

all the trouble. This was compromised

WHAT D. Y THINK O. THAT?

Having done much to make residents
of Washington uncomfortable during
the past week the Weather Man an
nounced last night that today will be
a very pleasant Sunday
His conscience has, manifestly. got
ten the best of him. He must feel
sorry for his misdeeds
Just what may be understood by the
Weather Mans conception of "a pleas
ant Sunday will be better understood
tonight when the day Of rest is at an
end.
No One Believes Him.
1t will take a long time for ones lost
faith in weather TO be regained. The
forecaster at the bureau was really and
truly in earnest, though, when he said
the chances for comfort today are
bright
Yesterdays highest temperature DOWN
town was 81 degrees at o'clock. At
the Weather Bureau the mercury was
more conservative, and only went to S.
However. this was plenty warm enough
and everywhere one went people were
saying: Isn't it awful or Did you
ever see such weather.
No rain is Yet in sight and no hope
is given that there will be any material
abatement in the strength of the hot
wave. 1t was said last night that today
promises TO be not quite so warm as
yesterday. but that the fall in tempera-
ture would be only from 10 degrees
