APPEAL TO THE SENATE.
Commissioners Hope for More Lib
eral Appropriations.


eral Appropriations.
Little surprise is expressed by the Com
missioners at the big cut in their annual
estimates made by the House committee
on appropriations. Although the Com
missioners refuse TO discuss the matter.
1t is understood they will press before
the Senate the estimates not granted by
the House. and they hope for success
in the end.
AS the printed records of the confer
ences between the Commissioners and the
committee on appropriations show that
the former told the committee that the
District revenues were ample to meet all
their estimates: that the estimates asked
for were all necessary. and not made to
be subjected to cutting. and that they
should not in justice be cut. so as to
make the District pay a disproportionate
amount on the advances received from
the United States Treasury on account
Of extraordinary projects of improve.
ments in the District. The committee
report leaves a million dollars of District
revenues unappropriated. and. of course,
If IL had been appropriated another mil
lion from the national revenues would
have been added to it, making two mil
lions additional appropriations
This 81 ,OOO. 900 of district revenues, the
committee report says is to be applied
to the repayment Of advances from the
Treasury Department. Such an amount
the Commissioners said in their argument
before the committee. would be at least
twice as great as would be reasonable
in any one year. and would compel the
cutting out of extraordinary projects of
improvement and the cutting down of
current needs of all the municipal serv-
ices. The Commissioners asked the COM
mittee 10 differentiate between their es-
Inmates for extraordinary projects of i'm
provement. amounting to 1921. $50. in
GLIDING 81 .936 600 for public school build
ings and grounds. made necessary by
the fact that Congress had cut $500. 900
in the past ten years out of the Com
missioners' estimates for public school
buildings and grounds. and their esti-
'ates for current expenditures. amounting
to $500 900. and $975.OOO for sinking
fund and interest on the old bonded debt
They asked the committee to provide for
the extraordinary appropriations. cover
ing. besides the public school buildings,
high pressure fire service. suburban and
trunk sewers. railway terminal work,
chronic municipal. by charging them to
capital account covered by advances
from the Treasury. to be repaid with
former advances in reasonable annual
repayments. This would enable the Dis
trict to carry its share Of all the ap-
propr!ations, SO that all the estimates
might be allowed without Inconvenience
and without delaying the progress of
the city or imperiling its safety from
disease fire or crime.

that the masses of the people. republican
and democratic, are in favor of reform.
If we can only convince the voters that
the democratic party will he true to re-
form, victory is assured: and the only
way in which we can convince the public
that we honestly desire to administer the
government in behalf of the people is to
give them an honest platform. employ
honest arguments and conduct according
10 honest methods and through an honest
organization.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1908-03-31

What chance of reform is there at the
hands of republican leaders who take the
side of corporations against the people
and act upon the theory that inducements
must be. held out to capital. no matter
how great the burdens imposed upon the
producers of wealth? There is no doubt

SHAH'S TROOPS TAKE
PARLIAMENT HOUSE
IN TEHERAN
City Is Now Being BOmbarded
by Artillery. According to
Report From Berlin.
BLOODY FIGHT
PRECEDED CAPTURE

Berlin, June 23.-News has just
been received here that the troops of
the shah of Persia have captured the
Parliamentary buildings in Teheran,
which were held by the pretender and
his revolutionary forces. According to
the report received here this after
noon the city is now being bombarded
by artillery.
The capture of the buildings is be-
lieved to have been a bloody affair
owing to the report that the square
in front of the Parliament buildings
is heaped with the corpses of SOL
diers. 1t is believed the shah's troops
attacked the place in front and cap
tured it by sheer force of numbers
lighting until the enemy was exhaust
ed.

Ready to Respond to Call
at Any Time.

New York, June 23.-The war de-
partment has perfected plan for the
virtual amalgamation into a trained
army of 100000 men ready to answer
the call of the president, of all the
regular and national guard troops in
the United States and believes that
with this force trained and ready to
take the field when needed all OBJ
lection to the small standing army of
the United States has been overcome.
This Information Is given out by
Assistant Secretary of War oliver,
who declares that the result of the
Dick bill, passed by a recent session
of Congress. is to make all the state
troops United States volunteers ready
for service at any time. They could
be called out without re-enlistment,
he says and would be in condition to
take the field at once, having the ad-
vantage of training and equipment.
1t Is planned by the department
that the regulars and state troops shall
have field training together every
year and 1t Is believed that inside OF
two years a force of 100000 men in a
fair state of efficiency can be placed
in the field on short notice.

MANY CLUB WOMEN
ATTEND CONVENTION
Thousands Are Gathered at Boston for
Federation of Clubs-Meeting Wiil
Last Two Weeks.

Boston, June 23.-Nearly 5000 club
women from all parts of the United
States are assembled in Boston today
to attend the opening session of the
ninth biennial convention of the gen.
eral federation of women's clubs. The
sessions will probably last two weeks.
The women of the west are going
to the federation with one main OBJ
ject-the election of Mrs. Philip n.
Moore to the presidency. For four
years Mrs. Moore has been first vice
president to Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker
of Denver. Although New England
born, Mrs. Decker has lived for years
in the west and has the sympathies of
a western woman, which means that
the western women have practically
headed the federation for four years,
Her predecessor was Mrs. DENIES T.
S. Denison of New York. Now it's the
vests turn and the west as well as
most of the rest of the country wants
Mrs. Moore to have the honor of the
national presidency.

the surf, swim out with sturdy strokes,
battle with giant waves and rescue
shipwrecked mariners from watery
graves, thus earning Carnegie medals
and husbands, If the present Univer-
sity of Chicago plans are carried out.
The higher education now includes
a course in how to rescue drowning

has organized a life-saving class.
which many young men have Joined.
II 1t is successful, young women will
be included and many have clamored

fessor Knudson recently gave a course
on rescuing persons from burning

Louisville, KY, June 23.-Addresses
were made today at the International
sunday School convention by c. Il.
Blackall of Philadelphia and Rev.
John A. McKamy of Nashville. Rev.
Mckamy spoke on THE Lesson Writ
ers' and DR.. Blackall, who Is secre-
tary of the International Sunday
School Editorial association, told OF
the publication of Sunday school per-
iodicals. He said:
THE gross output of Sunday school
periodicals for 1906, as reported to
the worlds convention, held in Rome,
amounted to the enormous quantity
of four hundred and eighty-eight mil
lions six hundred and sixty-eight
thousand copies (4SS,66S,0O0). The
aggregate of the foreign Issues (this
in large degree estimated, however),
inclusive of those of Great Britain
amounted, approximately. to twenty
five millions four hundred and thirty
six thousand copies (25, 6,000), Of
which only one hundred and seventy
one thousand two hundred Q71,200)
were issued by UNCONVENTIONAL organ
iZations.
This left four hundred and sixty
three millions two hundred and thir-
ty-two thousand (463,232, 000) az Am
erican issues, including those OF Can
ada, Of which in round numbers three
hundred and sixty-three millions
1858, 3,000000). or about seventy eight
per cent, were published by denomi-
national societies; and one hundred
millions 100000, ,OOO), or about TWEEN
ty-two per cent, were published by
undenominational or Independent
publishers.
These totals would undoubtedly be
very much enlarged If similar data
We're gathered for the year 1908.
From present indications the propor-
tions will be greatly changed during
the next five or ten years, from
causes that even now are self-eyi-
dent"

In Case of His Death.

Chicago, June 23.-While the
friends of Sherman take a hopeful
view of the case, the question natur-
ally arises regarding the course of
procedure In case of his demise. Ma
'ional Chairman New expresses the
opinion that the national committee
would have full power to name a can
didate, either presidential or vice
presidential, but he said where there
was sufficient time before the election
to do so the committee would reas-
semble the convention and have the
nomination in the regular way.

Roosevelt made a personal appea,
to President Eliot by telegraph as
soon as he heard OF the suspension.
but he met with curt. refusal frnm
the Harvard executive to make a
change in his ruling.
President Eliot said that each man
did a dishonorable thing. The least
possible punishment Is putting them
on probation, but that drops them
from the crew.
"a keen sense of honor being the
finest result of college life, I think
all college men and graduates should
condemn effectively dishonorable con-
duct" said Eliot in his answer.
