ASSAILS PRESIDENT
SENATOR STONE DECLARES HE
Is LACKING IN COURAGE.
Discussed Resolution for the Purchase
of Supplies for the
Canal

When Senator Aldrich sought to secure
the passage yesterday afternoon of his res
oiution giving the President authority to
go outside the United States to buy sup
plies for the Panama canal. in case bids
in the United States are extortionate and
unreasonable, Senator Stone took the floor
in opposition to the resolution. He based
his opposition on the ground that it was
useless to pass it.
mo one can Doubt he said, that the
President will buy practically all canal ma
terials In America, no matter what the Diff
ference In prices here and abroad may be.
If we are to judge the future by the past
there is no room for questioning what
course the President will adopt
He said that about year ago the Presi-
dent and the Secretary of War had an
nounced that they would not be held up In
the purchase of materials for the canal by
American manufacturers or American ship
owners. This declaration was, he said un-
expected. but was nevertheless approved
generally by the American people as in the
interest of the general welfare. But he de-
clared that the special interests affected
resisted and won.
Test of Presidents Courage.
Promptly they organized their forces to
resist and to discipline him." he declared.
The .stand-patters came swarming in
from every direction. and a storm of protest
was raised In every available quarter The
Presidents courage was put to the test,
and. as usual. proved unequal to the strain
There was great laundering by him In
the index. with the customary RooseyeItian
flaseo at the finish. The iron man at the
White House again proved himself to be
no iron man at all, but only what Bismarck
once declared Salisbury to be, merely a
pine lath painted the color of IRON The
President surrendered, and instead of buy
ing canal materials. as he vowed he would
and as he repeatedly asserted 1t was his
duty to do, In the cheapest markets. he
bought practically everything he purchased
-9S per cent OF the whole-at protected,
trust prices In America
Purchase of Ships.
In support of this contention he cited the
facts in connection with the purchase from
the Ward line of two ships for the canal
service.

Trade for the week says:
Business maintains a wholesome prog

The weeks aggregate tranactions show the
erect of the holiday and seasonable quiet
IN certain lines, but Il good gain is noted In
comparison with the corresponding period
OF any previous year. Uncertainty regard

outlook became sufficiently encouraging to
restore coincidence. In many tobbing lines
there is no prospect of vigorous activity

arrive from statesmen or by mail The
higher prices announced last week on sole
leather came as a SURPRISE owing 10 the
dullness of the market, and tended to make

Bradstreet's Review.
Bradstreet's review will say:
Rather quiet retail trade conditions have
resulted from widespready rainy weather,
the passing of the leading spring holiday
and the natural seasonal quietness which
supervenes at this period Taken as a
whole. the month of May was a very active
one in retail and Wholesale trade and in
dustry, In which the best records of the
preceding year were surpassed
Activity in outdoor work has been a
feature, as for some time past. Building
has been active, with natural effects on
the markets for material but lower prices
OF yellow pine are construed as Indicating
fuller offerings from the current and past
production.

there; and the teachers duty is to bring IT
out In clear characters. In one view, he
said, education Is absorption; in the other
IL is release One teaches things. the other
inspires thought. The former, or material
lstic view, was prevalent during the six
tenth and seventeenth centuries; the other
or Ideal view, has gained ascendancy since.
Inc watchword, he said, of the new edu-
cation Is that education Is the means by
which the boy discovers himself 1t is q
process of release and the mind is made
TO seek release in several directions In the
nrst place, 1t seeks release through the
power OF thought. 1t develops his con-
science, for 1t makes him want to obtain
the accurate results by accurate means,
not by manipulation of figures And the
new education maintains. the speaker sug-
gested, the highest faculty of our nature
our wills.
Diplomas Presented.
Following the remarks by Mr.. Pierce, the
diplomas were presented as clearance
papers," the speaker said. Mrs. Noyes
then sang the closing numbers and an In
formal reception was held in the rooms on
the second floor, where ice cream, cake and
lemonade were served. The parts of the
building used for the exercises were hand
somely decorated for the occasion, palms
being used, intermingied with fowers-prin-
cipally peonies and roses. The flowers pre-
scented to the graduates. of which there was
a profusion. were also used in the deco
rations. adding materially to the beauty
of the scene. The pupils of the school as
sisted in the reception of the guests.
AS this was the informal opening of the
new school building many of the guests
took OCCASION to inspect the handsome
structure. One of the ideas carried
out In the new building will be to give the
school home-like environments. The recita-
ton rooms on the first and second floors,
while being practically school rooms will
be made as nearly as possible like rooms In
home. The building will include a library
and sitting room. The first floor Is given I'D

GIVEN THEIR DIPLOMAS
FIVE YOUNG LADIES GRADUATE
FROM HOLToN-ARMS SCHOOL.
Address to Glass by Rev. u. g. B.
Pierce-Inspection of New
Building.

Having successfully completed the re-
CURED course of study and passed the nee
essary examinations five young ladies were
presented with their diplomas from the Hol-
ton-Arms School yesterday afternoon.
The commencement also marked the close
of the fifth year of the schools existence
and the opening of the new school building
at 2125 S street northwest, where yester-
days exercises were held.
The class of 1906 was composed of Miss
Ruth Frances Tanner, who graduated in
the college preparatory course; Miss Ruth
Noyes and Miss Marion Alice Leutze, who
graduated In the English course; Miss
Eleanor Dent Petit and Miss Louise Eliza
beth Olga WiehIe, who graduated in the
elective course.
The commencement exercises were held In
the study hail. on the third floor of the
new school building, at o'clock yesterday
afternoon. At that hour, despite the heavy
downpour of rain. large audience, includ-
ing members of prominent Washington
families. was present The five members
marched from an adjoining room to seats
on the slightly raised platform at one end
of the study hall, followed by Rev. u. g.
b. Pierce, pastor Of All Souls Church, 14th
and L streets northwest, who was the
speaker for the occasion.
Mrs. Thomas C. Noyes contributed sew
erai musical numbers which ELECTED the
hearty applause of the audience. In OPEN
ing Mrs. Noyes sang Were My Soul With
Wings Provided" by Hahn, and THE Bird
and the Rose" by Horrock The closing
numbers Were IN Bacio, by Arditi, and
Goodbye by Tosti.
Education Source of Release.
That education is process of release was
the idea advanced IN the address of Rev.
Mr.. Pierce. After first interpreting the rainy
weather as indicating, not frown on the
occasion. but regret that the work of
building the new structure was mot COM
pieted before, he said that there were two
points OF view as to education, but one is
now beginning to outrun the other, One
treats education as a commodity to be
handed from ona person TO another. the
other regards education less of a comnod-
ity and more OF clinic, In which the fruits
OF the mind can mature. One looks at the
child as piece of blank paper, and the
teachers duty is to write on the tablet
The other sees the latent possibilities in
tbs child, discovers the writing already
