TEMPERANCE RALLY.
Senator Carmack Quoted in opposi-
ton to the Saloon.

The large meeting parlor Of Society
Temple was crowded Friday night with
members of Washington Council, No. l,
Fraternal Sons OF Jonadab. who assem-
bled to take part in the initiation of
large number of new candidates enlisted
in the cause OF temperance. The cere-
monies were conducted by John McBeth,
worthy chief. assisted by special COM
mittee consisting Of DR.. ]. P. Kiefer.
Harry E. Ball and George E. Beller. Mr..
William L. Wright. publisher of the Tenn
perance. News. delivered an appropriate
temperance address, and Worthy Chief
McBeth took occasion 70 say he was glad
to see Mai. Sylvester holding to the
opinion that the saloons should be rele-
gated to the business centers.
I'VE passed resolutions to this effect
the LIST day of November, the date of the
beginning OF the liquor license year for
saloons in this city. and 1 expect to see
he said. some legislation enacted at the
coming session of Congress. making the
suggestion effe ctive.
Senator Carmack. who introduced the
interstate bill in the Senate, has stumped
Tennessee against the saloon, and in the
course Of one of his spec ches said: There
Is not a single reason, moral, economic,
or otherwise, why the saloon should be
permitted to exist anywhere. 1t IS a
prolific breeder Of crime, corruption and
poverty. There Is not a community that
would not be richer in material wealth.
which would not have cleaner govern
ment better citizens and happier homes
without the saloon than with 1t. From
the most materialistic standpoint 1t is
curse. We often hear the argument that
the abolition Of the saloon would injure
the business prosperity of the community.
What wealth does 1t create? 1t cannot be
too often ted that wealth is the
product of the industry and Intelligence
of man. and that which is the destroyer
of men Is the destroyer of wealth.
Mr. McBeths speech was well applaud
ed and resolutions embodying Senator
Carmack's remarks were adopted. Messrs
W. c. Bishop, George E. Bellet, "A. 3.
McCabe and DR.. ]. P. Kiefer were among
those who made short talks. A commit
tee was appointed TO arrange for the
annual New Year eve watch night service,
and announcement was made that tenn
perance rally is to be held IN Betnany
chapel the first Sunday in December, at
which Rev. Zed II. Copp Will preside. All

AGENT DOUGLAS REPORT
WHAT BOARD OF CHILDREN'S
GUARDIANS HAS DONE.
Recommendation for the Appoint
ment Of a Commission, Looking
to Centralizing the Work.

The appointment of commission to
make careful study OF the child-ca-ing
work and child-guardianshfp In the Dis
trict Of Columbia for the purpose OF rec
ommending legislation to put the work
on a centralized basis is a recommended
ton mada by John W. Douglas, agent
TO- the board of childrens guardians, in
his annual report which he submitted to
the Com missioners yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Douglas is OF the opinion that there
should be one institution or organization
supported wholly at public expense to
care for the children of the District in
stead OF those that are committed to the
board cared for at various institutions
He says the methods of caring for these
children are far from ideal. If one insti-
tuition desires to place any OF its chill
d-en In one of the others it has to pay
for them as would a private individual.
and these private institutions or homes
have no legal control over the children
placed in their care. which condition Mr..
Douglas says Is unwise
According to his report, during the year
ended June 80 last. the average number
of wards under the supervision of the
board Of children's guardians was 1910,
was 81, 9S3.73. an average of $50 81 per
child. Mr.. Douglas explained that this
small cost IS due to the fact that ,Oi2
children were cared for in homes where
there was no charge made for their

HUMANE SOCIETY CASES.
Proposed Change in Disposition Of
the Fines.

Commissioner West conferred with the
other two Commissioners yesterday upon
the recent he airing given the Horse Own
ers' Mutual Protective Association relating
to the alleged objectionable conduct Of the
agents of the Washington Humane So
ciety at which it was claimed the agents
are over ezalous In arrasting horse own
ers, having as an incentive the fines i'm
posed upon convictions. which go into the
treasury of the society Mr.. West mott
fled his colleagues that as a result OF the
hearing and the Allegations made by the
horse owners. he had talked with James
l.. Pugh, jr., assistant corporation coun-
sci at the Police Court. and who submit
ted 10 him a list OF thirty-one Humane
Society cases which are awaiting trial by
jury In the Police Court The first Of
these cases. Mr.. West said, Is dated June
H. nearly five months ago.
Il am Informed" Mr. West said to the
Commissioners. that this delay Is due to
the fact that during the summer months
the Police Court does not hold jury trials
except in emergency cases. Mr. Pugh
promises that these cases shall be dis
posed of within the next three or four
weeks. and asserts that so far as he is
concerned. no obstacle is thrown in the
way of the trial in any case at any time
In regard TO the statement made at the
hearing by the horse owners that Mr..
Pugh is the paid attorney of the Humane
Society. he said he receives a retainer of
500 a year TO represent the society In
civil suits and also aids in the prepara-
ton OF legal papers for the society"
MIR West concluded his statement upon
this matter by saying:
with further reference to the hearing
| desire to express my opinion that the
practice of allowing the Humane Society
10 become the financial beneficiary of all
fines and forfeitures in the Police Court
resulting from cases brought into the
courts by Its agents ought 10 be abolish
ed and also. that the Commissioners
should give more careful attention TO the
character. ability and fitness of the
agents OF the society who are commits
stoned as special officers with power to
m a Ike arrests

Ash Dump Slides Into Greek.

A large part Of the ash heap just south
of the street bridge across Rock creek,
skidded down the hill between and
O'Clock yesterday morning. The rains of
the last few weeks had increased the vol
9me of water in the creek, which under
mined the bank on the south side where,
for the past twenty years, refuse of all
kinds has been dumped by the city con-
tractors. In consequence the heavy
weight of the earth and ashes above the
earth slid down into the creek, causing
a dam to form. which backed the water
up on the Ortley estate owned BY Judge
Orr.
The water under the P street bridge at
the present time is extremely high as the
result Of the slide. II is not expected that
any serious damage will result.

SUICIDE WEATHER."
Uncanny Designation of Conditions
Which Prevailed Today.

What is known in ancient meteorol-
ogy as suicide weather" prevailed in
Washington yesterday In olden times it
was said that such gloomy. raw condi-
ditions were productive of an increased
number of cases of self-murder. hence
its uncanny designation. Prof. Gar
riOtt, the official forecaSter of the
weather bureau. said last evening that
the prevailing gloominess comes from a
general area of cloudiness east OF the
Mississippi. There may be occasional
slight rains and unsettled conditions to-
day. he added. but the storm clouds will
drift away by tomorrow night, and then lso
believes this locality will have several
days of fine fall weather.
