attention of the Navy Department
through the medium of official reports.
Several naval officers who have called
on the President in the last few days said
that even Chief Constructor Capps. VINO
is most uncompromising in his denuncia-
tion of the criticism of the navy. admits
that 1t is not only the privilege, but the
duty of every naval officer. to express
his honest convictions privately through
official channels. in case he finds anything
in the service to criticise. Their opinion
is that Lieut.. Commander Hill and Com
mander Sims cannot be blamed by the
President or the Navy Department II they
have confined their criticisms to the de-
partment and have not uttered them in
public. Commander Hill denies that he
has done more than call attention
through the medium of his lectures before
the Naval War College and official re-
ports to his superior officers to what he
regards as serious structural defects in
naval shipbuiding. 1t is expected that
Commander Sims will take the same
stand.
Commander Hills report takes the
ground that there are certain defects In
the armor belt of our battleships. and he
also enters into discussion of the turret
question.

HITS ANOTHER OBSTRUCTION
CONSIDERATION OF DOLLIVER
SCHOOL BILL PREVENTED.
Senator Nelson Makes Point Of Order
Against It and Is Sustained
by the Chair. ..s.zz--

The Dollver school reorganiza ton bill
for the District of Columbia is certainly
having hard time in the Senate these
days. Senator Burkett of Nabraska. who
has it in charge. was foiled again when
he tried to get consideration for it this
afternoon. Senator Nelson of Minnesota
to take it up. and the Vice President sus-
tanned Mr.. Nelson.
Apparently Mr.. .Burke:t intended to
make a grand effort to have the bill voted
on today. for he spent the first half hour
of the session doing missionary work in
all parts of the chamber. Among those
to whom he paid friendly visits in it's
behalf were Senator'S Allison, Beveridge.
Clapp and Aidrich. He also sought the
particular aid of Senators Dolliver, father
of the measure; Gallinger. chairman Of
the District committee and Scott. q men,
ber of the school subcommittee all friends
Of the bill.
Failing yesterday to get consideratio
for the bill, on account of an objection
to his request for unanimous consent by
Senator Burrows of Michigan, Mr.. Bur
kett announced his intention to move that
the senate proceed TO consider 1t today,
OF the Gallinger ship subsidy bill
AS soon as Mr.. Galiinger secured a
postponement of the discussion of the
subsidy bill Mr.. Burkett, true to his
word. was on his feet He moved tina
the Dolliver bill be taken up at once. and
the school teachers and citizens of the
District in the gallery pricked up their
ears. Here was something doing"
Senator Nelson. however was on the
alert. Since the bill was on the calendar
under rule g. and the Senate was pro-
ceeding at the time under rule s. he SUBJ
mitted the motion of the senator from
Nebraska was out of order -
The point of order made by the sen.
ator from Minnesota is we'll taken" an
nounced Vice President Fairbanks, and
the senator from Nebraska sank defect
edly into his chair.
Unless some plan to get the bill up by
parliamentary strategy can be devised
by Mr.. Burkett and successfully carried
out 1t seems likely that the Dolliver bill
will slumber peacefully on the calendar
in the protecting arms Of rule q until the
end of the session. because there appears
to be plenty of business to keep the cal
endar pretty we'll stocked under rule s
which business has the right of way un.
less the rules are set aside.
Members of the school committee of the
Washington Boo srd of Trade were active
in the Senate wing of the Capitol to-
day distributing literature setting forth
the reasons of the Board of Trade why
the bill should not be passed. Among
those who have been enlisted i'll the fight
against the measure is Senator Ti,lman
of South Carolina.

ROCK CREEK PARK.
Senator Gallinger's Extension Bill
Passed the Senate.

Senator Gallinger's bill to extend the
east boundary of Rock Creek Park to
18th street, according to the original
plans. was passed by the Senate yester-
day afternoon with practically no oppo-
sition. Senator Bailey of Texas wanted
to know whether it was another case Of
wanting to own all the land Adjoining. -
and was told by Senator Carter of Mon
tana. who had the bill in charge, that 1t
was not in view of the fact that when
the plans for the park were drawn it was
intended to reach as far as 18th street,
and this portion was not purchased on
account of the scarcity of money.
Another local bill passed by the Senate
yesterday provides that eight of the
claimants for damages incurred in the re-
moval of the old Northern Liberty market
be paid 500 each. The market once stood
on the site of the Public Library in
Mount Vernon square. and was removed

Hospital early today from injuries alleged
to have been received in a prize fight last
night. The base of his skull was frac-
tured and he died without regaining con-
sciousness. A policeman found Brown
lying unconscious on the sidewalk at I'D
street and 1st avenue. Frank Holmes,
colored, who was standing over Brown,
was arrested, but refused to give infor-
nation.
Browns wife. however. told the police
that her husband had taken part in a
prize fight in a saloon on Avenue A late
last night. His opponent she said. was
q white man named Fred Lucas. Up to
the fifth round. according to the story
which Mrs. Brown declares Holmes told
her., Brown had the better of it, when a
hard blow from Lucas sent him to the
floor, his head striking against one of the
ring posts. AS soon as the seriousness
of the injury was discovered Holmes was
ordered to take Brown out of the saloon
and the crowd dispersed.
Detectives are trying to locate the sa-
loon where the fight took place and to
find the men who were connected with it.

"But let me tell you," he said, "of

POISON DANGERS IN SPRAYING
French Scientists suggest the Color
Ing Of Arsenic Compounds.

French scientists, while recognising
the necessity for the use Of arsenic
compounds in spraying, have made .
wise recommendation to their govern.
men that such material shall not be
sold unless colored in such manner
that It can not possibly be confused
with foods or condiments. The buyer
and the seller are to be held equally
responsible for this denaturation of
arsenic and the insecticides are to be
sold only in packages plainly marked
poison" Such q regulation would be
a wise one for this country.
At present 1t is possible to purchase
white arsenic powder, unlabeled,
which much resembles soda and ba-
king powder. Needless to say those
who substitute it for either Of these
leavening powders would rise no more
