WANTS ART COMMISSION
TO BEAUTIFY DISTRICT

Senator Newlands OF Nevada, who
was recently made member OF the
Senate District Committee. advocates
an art commission for Washington. to
regulate the development OF the city
along artistic lines Mr.. Newlands
points to the fact that Chicago, san
Francisco. Philadelphia. Boston, and
Seattle have boards to look after mat
ters pertaining to heautlfying the city.
Such a commission, according to
Senator Newlands, should regulate the
laying out Of streets and parks, and
should pass upon building plans, pre-
vent the erection Of ugly buildings
and the like.
Senator Newlands thinks Americans
have retrCgraded in their artistic ideas
since the days Of Washington and JEFF
fersOn.

PROHIBITION Is STRUCK
BY INTERSTATE DECISION

BY its verdict IN the case Of the Mil
waukee-W -Waukesha Brewing Company
against the Chicago. Milwaukee and St.
Paul Railroad Company, IN which Il de-
Cided that shipments of mineral waters
should not take as low n transportation
rate as beer or beer products, the Inter
state Commerce Commission has struck
blow at the prohibition movement
II appears from the record that the de-
fendant imposed one rate for straight
beer shipments and a higher rate for
mixed shipment OF beer and water.
The commission laced the seal OF its
disapproval upc this practice by de-
claring that thS higher rate imposed for
the carriage OF beer and water in one
car is not excessive or unreasonable and
is not in violation Of law.

masses Of strange-iOokinE, evil-smellinE

lighted n a little row at the lower end

satisfaction he asserted that Mr.. Given

There is no color line in this court"
That remark bears little resemblance
to choice repartee, and even the most
careful student would scarcely regard
It in the line OF a "squelcher." 1t looks
inonfensive. But that little remark
caused tho sudden and unlo0ked-for de-
mise Of one of the most glorious perora-
tiOns thai ever broke loose in the Police
Court. and as a result CT that little re-
mark, Lawyer Hewlett feels a chasten-
ing. chilling sensation running up and
down his spine.
It was in the case Of Maria jackson
that Judge Kimbau took occasion to
bring in his little remark. Maria was
charged by Mounted officer Beren with
being drunk and disorderly and endeav-
oring, while IN this condition, TO segre-
gate the parts OF his intelligent cOUnten-
ance with her long and effective finger
nails.
His Face Hit Something.
The officer. on the stand. showed
plainly that he had been clawed by
something. 1t didn't look as though
Maria had done It. His face looked as
though an intoxicated barber had ma
nipulated lawn mower on It. 1t seemed

dramatically. That YVES enough His
face spoke for him.

Lee Guy Doc having passed 70 the
land o. his forefathers was accorded
real Oriental funeral yesterday, with all
OF that glorious cstentation which so
strongly marks the Chinese as ma
ton Lee Guy Doc was one Of wash
ington's foremost importers OF Oriental
merchandise. His place OF business on
Pennsylvania avenue was frequented by
the elite OF Washington Chinese society,
so when he died IL was only meet that
HIS brethren, those who were his friends
and those who were his enemies, should
join in assisting him across the perilous
and swift-running River Styx.
The funeral was held from Lees un-
dertaking establishment, and there
gathered scores uDon scores Of devout
and sorrowing Celestials, eager TO do
homage to the man who was so unfor-
tunate as to be buried away from tho
F'lowery Kingdom.
Chuy Lee was >the master Of cere-
monies. The body was brought down
from the upper part OF the building and
placed in the little chapel which has
witnessed many a sad gathering.
Half Sings Funeral Prayer.
The services in the chapel were sim
pie. Lee Guy Docs numerous friends
stood with uncovered heads as the mas
ter Of ceremonies. in that whining sing
song voice so peculiar to Cinnamon, re-
peated the words for the repOse Of his
spirit. Occasionally the whining voice
would cease. dying away in silence, and
absolute stiffness would prevail.
Then would come a slow, whimpering
chorus from others-a chorus fraught
with the emotion that was pent up in
the impassive breasts Of those who had
known Lee Guy Doc for years and had
loved him as a brother. Then would
come the monOtonous.' sing-sOng voice
of the master of ceremonies.
Listening to that voice, one could
dream Of Lee Guy DOCS wife and chill
dreu in China (for he had both wife and
children) and see them hopefully wait

Had It Under the Table.

AS a reward for good behavior Johnny was allowed to come to the dinner table when company was expected. He wanted to ap- pear big, too, so he chose a low chair, which brought his mouth just to the table. But he didn't mind this, because it was on a. line with his plate and he would not be so likely to drop anything while eating. He ate ravenously of everything, having nothing O say to the guests, as his motheF had told him to remember that good children should be seen and not heard. Finally, after des- sert, when there was a lull in the conversation, he exclaimed:
 ''Say, pop, you can't guess. what I've got under the t, b D."
 'No, ny son." said his fathers with an indnlgent glance; "what is it."
 "Stomach-ache shouted John ny, gleefully.
