The Army Bill Provision
Encouraging Discriniina-
ton by the Railroads:

Washington. Feb. S-The senate to-
day passed the Indian appropriation
bill. Senator Frazier made an address
on the subject of state rights,
after which the army appropriation
bill carrying q total Of SSl.50O.0O0 was
taken up. Tie army measure was
partly read for the approval of the
committee on amendments and an ad-
journment was taken when il became
apparent that debate was to be occa-
stoned by an amendment to permit the
government To receive reduced rates
from the railroads for the transporta-
ion of troops and supplies for the
army and to allow army officers and
their families To accept free trans
portation. The adoption Of this
amendment would be a modification of
the railroad rate bill. Senator War
ren. in charge Of the bill, gave no.
tice that he would press Its consider
alton tomorrow.
Mr.. Nelson said he would move to-
morrow for the consideration Of the
bin granting the government the right

arrived in Washington this afternoon.
The delegation will be received by ths.
president tomorrow morning.
Mayor Schmitz said: I'VE have
come td Washington with a free mind
TO discuss the school question with
the president The fact that we have
responded To the presidents invitation
is sufficient evidence that we stand
ready to make concessions If convinc-
ed that the entire country will profit
by such action. II is unfair to discuss
the question involved until we have
conferred with the president.
we have not excluded the Jana
nese children from the schools but
since the fire the board has found il
necessary to adopt the policy Of seq

makes the question Of segregation dis

have been established the children Of
the two races must attend the schools

That the Inevitable War" Will Not
Be Pulled OFT.

that a couple Of naval vessels be kept
in Central American waters. the navy
department has dispatched the gum
boat Marietta to GreytOwn. on the gulf
coast Of Nicaragua. accompanying the
cruiser Chicago. Il is said the purpose
Of sending the ships is to have a ship
at the disposal of the American min
isters if they should find il necessary
to travel up and down the coast where
communication is limited: also they
will of course protect any American
property that may be endangered.
Consul Alger at Tegucigalpa. Hon
dUras. communicated yesterday with
American Minister Coombs in Guate-
mala City that the opinion AT Tegu-
cigalpa was that war between Hon
duras and Nicaragua was almost inev-
liable. The officials here do not take
such a pessimistic view. They believe
that the combined good efforts OF
Mexico and America will convince
them that their differences can be set

In the most bitterly sarcastic vein
Mr.. Jerome spoke of this "tattle Of the

adduced here to show that this man

don't know whether this defendant

The question which called the
vehement protest from Jerome was
addressed to Mrs Thaw by Deimas
Its purport was whether or not Thaw
had told her about "other girls who
had met 4 fate similar to yours at
the hands OF Whitc?" Justice Fitz-
gerald thought the defense should lay
broader foundation to show insanity
before proceeding along the lines fol-
lowed by Mr.. Delmas' question. I'VE
will proceed To do this as soon as
possible" announced Mr. Delmas.
Mrs. Thaw declared that White dur

perience in the room Of the mirrored
walls repeatedly sought to have her

ANACOSTIA'S BACK
Commissioner CommendS
Civic Pride of Various
Citizens Associations.

According to Commissioner II b F.
mcfarland. last night at a meeting Of
the Anacostia Citizens Association, the
various associations similar TO the one
across the Eastern Branch are excellent
arguments in refutation that the citi-
zens of the District of Columbia, under
the present system of government here,
have no public interest or civic pride.
Commissioner Macfarland was the
guest Of the association at its monthly
meeting. He expressed his pleasure at
meeting the guests Of that hustling sec
ton of the District, assuring them their
needs would ever be deemed worthy of
consideration by the Commission.
Commissioner mcfarland said the
question Of filling in the Anacostia flats
would be vigorously pushed at the next
session OF Congress. as the conditions
near Anacostia demand betterment. I'm
Ill the title TO the land along the fats
is settled. Congress, the Commissioners
said, will hardly grant an appropria-
ton.
An impromptu reception followed Com
missioner Macfarlands address, the
members Of the association being intro
duced 10 him by DIT. James A. Watson.
