AT THE HOTELS.

Representative Charles n. Fowler. OF
New Jersey, chairman OF the House Com
mittee on Banking and Currency, the
man who made the hardest sort Of fight
against the adoption by the House OF
the Aldrich-Vreeland blu was at the
New Willard yesterday.
Mr.. Fowler hasn't lost any Of his be-
lief in the need for the establishment Of
a credit currency system In this country,
and Is still just as bitterly opposed to
the principle Of the new emergency cur
rency law as he was few months ago.
he has just returned from q meeting OF
the West Virginia Bankers Association,
and said the sentiment Of that body was
clearly for the adoption or a credit sys-
TEN, and against the spirit OF the Aid
rich-Vreeland measure
This convention Mr. Fowler said.
adopted a resolution urging both the
Republican and Democratic parties TO in
sert in their platforms, to be adopted at
Chicago and Denver. a plank calling for
legislation which will insure credit cur
rency.
This resolution recited that the estab-
lishment OF such a system would mean
that all classes Of people In this country
would be given that support in time Of
panic which is needed, or would mean,
rather, that no panic time was possible.
Mr.. Fowler said that. while he has
heard some talk Of Secretary Cortelyou
for the Vice Presidential nomination on
the Republican ticket, he believes II any
New York man is selected Il will be
Representative James SchOolcraft Sher-
man, Of Utica. a leading light in the Big
Five" in the House.
Mr.. Fowler thought. however that Sec
retary Cortelyou would undoubtedly re-
ceive a large vote IN the East If he were
chosen.
Mr.. Bowler will remain in Washington
for several days, and will likely do some
missionary work on the subject OF credit
currency in the Old Dominion. He said
he didn't know what the currency COM
mission is doing nowadays.
Daniel II. Burnham. OF Chicago. the
man who has designed about all the new
government building in Washington, as
well as the Union Station, was at the
Arlington yesterday.
Mr.. Burnham thinks the action OF
Congress in compelling the street car
companies or, perhaps. permitting them
10 at last lay their tracAs 10 the big
white building. viii add 70 its beauty,
and VIII certainly not mar Il.
Mr.. Burnham does not believe there
should be a scene Of desolation around
that big structure. OF that IL should look
in any wise like some vast tomb out in
a desert When the work on the plaza
is finished and the final trackage ar
rangements are completed. he believes
a great change will be noticeable by any
one who takes the trouble 10 look at
the whole view with a sane eye
'I hope the bin introduced in Congress
here some time ago requiring laundries
/ 10 do their work without laceratlng shirts
/ and collars passes. and that then law

under restrictions. is put upon the books

Raleigh last night.

That is not eXaGgeration, either. 7 am

be touched so this bill will be passed"
! There IS a way TO beat the storage

herself; 10 have fresh eggs all the time.

yer. Of Paducah. Ky. at the Arlington.
/ last night.
/ This method may be as ola as tho
Chinese-at least, I learned It in China
when I made a trip through the East
more than a year ago. I happened TO run
into the American consul general al
! Shanghai while over there, and when
I left he presented me with what he said
were eggs.
Although they didn't look Ike eggs at
/ all-looked, indeed. more ike elongated
mui pies with a stone stuffed in them-I
faithfully brought them home. and at
/ last opened one.
Sure enough, there was an egg IN
side. and when il was broken II proved

have been in that mud for a year or
more. Well. with that knowledge OF how
1 the Cinnamon keep eggs fresh. I SaIted a
| whole barrel OF them IN my place, 20 see
! how they would do under American mud.
Il bought them al the time OF year
when they were cheap, not caring much
| whether they kept or not. but willing 10
Try the experiment. I buried them Un-
der more than a foot and a half Of
! earth, and left them IN their glory for
several months.
When winter came along. and eggs
went up 10 some enormous figure, I just
dug down into the earth and pulled out
that barrel Opened to the light Of day.
the eggs looked as II they had just been
laid They tasted. too. as II they had
never been put away in the earth for
many weeks.
That is one way TO get ahead OF the
| commission man; also. IL shows that the
| Agricultural Department hasn't found the
only way in which man can get ahead Of
nature"
About the only interest now left in the
Chicago convention is the platform and
the Vice Presidency, although you can't
get UP a great deal Of enthusiasm on
| those subjects" said B. y. Thomas, Of
/ Chicago. at the National Hotel yesterday.
While the big hotels and the small
! ones too. are well filed. the interest has
sort Of gone from the game. because
every one seems convinced that Secre-
tary Taft has everything in sight clamped
down.
The sole half-live thing left is the
