oVERTAKEN BY DEATH.
John w. Kelly, Former Resident OF
Washington, Dies in Bolivia.

Information has reached this city that
Mr. John Washington Kelly. a we'll
known civil engineer. contractor and min
ing man, died at 2:3O am. Sunday, Feb
ruary 10, 1913. at the home of Mr.. Will
liam L. Gibson, c. E.. La Paz. Bolivia.
South America from a complication OF
heart. liver and stomach trouble super
induced by the effects of the high alti-
tude of Bolivia. Mr.. Kelly was taken
i'll in May of 1897. at which time he left
for a visit to the United States tn re-
cuperate and during his stay i'll the
states spent several weeks in the George
Washington University Hospital. under
the care of DR.. Sterling Ruff1n OF
this city. He rapidly regained his
health. and in October. 1907. left
cember l. He seemed to be in excellent
health but by the Goth of January the
effects of the altitude again began to i'm
pair his health. He did not consider 1t to
be anything serious until February ..
when he came from the contractors
camp to La Paz. and despite the efforts
of the hest medical aid gradually grew
worse. The evening of February . he
told several friends that he was some
what better and was suffering less and
he thought he was going to have good
nights rest. He slept easily until 2:'O
O'Clock. when death came. Mr.. Kelly
was born and reared at Brownsville. Tex.
and was a son of William Kelly. the
prominent banker and miner. and a
brother of Capt. William Kelly, U.S.A..
now in the Philippines, and also of Mr..
Jesse Kelly. the noted copper miner.
Mr.. Kelly attended the Texas State
Military College. Pennsylvania Military
College. a military college on the Hudson.
and graduated from the Bryan & Stratton
Business College, after which he spent
several years in Mexico at mining and
railroad work. He then went to Cuba
directly after the Spanish-American war.
and was connected with the contracting
firm of May & Jeckyl in the construction
of the system of railroads now In opera
ton on that island. He then returned
to the states and accepted position as
purchasing agent with the company which
constructed the great filtration plant for
Washington city. In July, 1905 he
copied a position with the Bolivian ma
tional government to take charge of the
purchasing and comisSary department Of
the railroads, which position he held until
June, 1907. when he resigned to accept
position as submanager of the Bolivian
Supply Company. with which company
he remained until January 1. when he
again went with Mr. c. Dillon on the
construction of the Bolivia railway from
La PaZ to Oruro. During the past three
years in Bolivia he has also been in
terested in mining, and had it not been
for his untimeiy death would have done
much to develop that industry there.
Every employe who labored under his
instructions and every co-worker carried
away from his ofnce the highest estimate
of his nobility of character. He was re-
garded the most popular foreigner
in the country. as was well shown by the
attendance at his funeral.
His remains were sent to Brownsville,
Tex. for final interment

POLICE WILL NOT MODEST.
"Bookies" May Ply Trade at Ben
ming Without Interference.

The 'bookies' and others who engage
in the betting at Benning race track to-
day will not be molested by the local po-
lice. The Commissioners did contemplate
raid as a means of breaking up this
form of gambling within the District but.
as was explained in The Star yesterday,
upon the majority vote of the Commits
sioners. the idea was abandoned.
The Commissioners say they are very
anxious to wipe out this Objectionable
feature of the racing, and what they pro-
pose to do is to have the police depart
ment on hand at the track each day to
collect as much evidence as possible
against those engaged in the gambling
and file informations. No actual arrests
Will be made unless upon a warrant from
the United States District attorney.

REV. J. w. SMITHS THEME.
breaches Last Sermon of Present
Conference Year.

Rev J.. W. Smith of Epworth NJ. e.
Church South preached his last sermon
yesterday before his departure for the
conference to be held in Roanoke. Va,
during this week. The past year. he said.
has been one of the most successful in
the history of the church. 1t is the unani-
nous wish of the congregation that Mr..
Smith be returned to his present charge;
The text Of the sermon was from ii
Peter. Hills: But grow in grace and
in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ"
The minister deplored the fact that in
times past and in some instances now the
church has expended and is expendlng
much of its energy in the consideration
of trivial matters or affairs outside of its
scope. The grandeur and dignity of the
pulpit are lowered when the aim of the
minister is to proclaim anything but the
truths of Christianity.
Too much time Is also spent. he said, IN
the contention about form. Variations In
form are of little importance; the spirit is
everything.
growth in mind and body. In the first
place there must be the seed or spirit as
an inspiration, and next In i'm
portance is environment. Stagnatlon In
spiritual life. no less than in the physical
and mental life, means death and decay.
On the other hand. growth is not merely
an accumulation as rock grows by ac-
cretion but the imeptus comes from
within.
1.-The spirit of ideal Christianity
broadens and expands from within and Is
nourished by what it feeds upon-the
gospel of Christ.
Another point is that we grow not by
the effort to grow o. by worrying about
growth, but merely by giving out light and
service to enrich the lives about us.
1--WE keep up our interest in our growth
by constantly finding new truths. just as
the astronomer. despite the vast labor in
volved in his abtruse calculations. feels
revivified and inspired in his discovery OF
new consultations.
THE possibilities of growth are unlimit-
ed: the more we grow the greater our
capacity for higher development.

Benefit for Columbia Hospital.

For the purpose of increasing the funds
of Columbia Hospital, the board of lady
visitors of that institution recently gave
candy sale and tea. The statement
was made that for many years Congress
appropriated $4,000 annually for the
maintenance of the hospital, but in recent
years Columbia has received it's financial
support through the board of charities,
getting S1.1D d day for adult charity
patients and 40 cents for infants.
Owing to the fact that the copstruc-
ton OF the building is not up-to-date. the
number of charity patients has of late
been materially lessened, which means
less appropriation The nurses building
also is bare and desolate, there being no
funds with which to make it comfortable

Commission Powerless.

The commission sustains the demurrer
and directs in an order that the complaint
be dismissed.
In his discussion of the reasons for the
commissions action in this important pro-
ceeding, Commissioner Lane SEES out
these conclusions:
This commission has no jurisdiction as
to shipments moving from ports of the
United States to a foreign country not
carried by rail. or by rail and water from
an inland point of origin to a port of
transshipment." An inland NOV tment
of export or import traffic is condition
precedent to the attacking of jurisdic-
ton.
The jurisdiction of this commission is
not TO be determined by any other than
the language of section l of the act.
tinction drawn between interstate COM
merce and foreign commerce TO a country
not adjacent to the United States; and
this distinction saves such foreign COM
of the section as to continuous carriage
beyond the American seaboard.
The commission may regulate inter-
state traffic, whether by rail or by a COM
bined rail-and-water route. from point OF
receipt of delivery; but the commission in
its control over foreign commerce is linn
tied to the regulation of such traffic
whether by railroad or by combination
OF rail and water carriers. from and to
the point of transShipment
The act provides no machinery by
which its provisions can be enforced as
to transatlantic steamship lines: that alb
sence of such provision can be explained
only by accepting the Interpretation that
the commission has no Jurisdiction in the
premises.
The pooling of traffic by water carriers
Is plainly matter over which this COM
mission has no jurisdiction
