CONGRESS AT WORK.
Continued from page y

party TO effect some sort OF a COM
promise before the approaching pri-
uariesi These are questions which
have been asked in Washington with
growing frequency OF late and which
have found echo in many sections.
From the attitude assumed by Sena-
tor Foraker in expressing surprise at
the Secretary of Wars assumption
OF all the blame for the party's schism
in the Buckeye State, it would seem
as if any overtures for such compro-
mise must come from the Taft forces,
The kindly feeling for Mr.. Foraker
which the War Secretary indicated in
the course OF his remarks at the recent
dinner held in his honor by the men,
bers of Ohio's Republican delegation
in congress led some to believe that
the Taft people would not exactly re-
ject any peace overture which might
come from the Foraker men, But
when the senator was interviewed and
expressed his surprise at learning that
Taft, not the president, was to blame
for the present condition OF affairs,
and said that APPARENTLY there was mo-
thing but fight to the end, the belief
that some peace pact might be effect
ed was dissipated in many quarters
However, the other candidates for the
highest place on the ticket OF the Re
publican party are chuckling with glee
over the Ohio situation Speaker
Cannon still maintains profound
silence, but the strong and oft-repeat-
ed assertions that Illinoise will send
solid Cannon delegation to the June
convention are giving more strength |
to his boom.
Secretary Metcalf has said "Play
balll', and there's an end TO it. The
cabinet members who holds down the
navy portfolio has ruled that if the
enlisted men of his branch of the
service want to engage in baseball
games on Sunday they may do~so to
their hearts content Recently a
number of Philadelphians retained
lawyer and desired him to make
formal complaints to the Navy Depart
ment against the practice OF the sail
ors and marines stationed at the
League Island navy yard in pulling off
ball game on Sundays In their COM
plant they also drew attention to the
fact that this practise was in direct
OF the Pennsylvania laws.
However, after going into the merits
of the case the Secretary rendered
his decision as above, pointing out
that it is the policy OF the Depart |
ment to encourage as far as possible |
all such athletics ON the part of the
enlisted men, He informed his cor
that jurisdiction OF league
Island recently was acquired by the
federal government with the CON
sent of the State legislature, and that
Sunday ball games on the
reservation are not in violation OF any
law. He has directed, however, that
the general public hereafter be ex-
cfuded from the yard during the play
ing Of, such Sunday games, SO that
the residents of Philadelphia will not |
now be able to tell whether the Sab
bath is being desecrated unless they
ascend the tower of the City Hall or :
go up in balloon.

Charleston Bureau Evening Terer.
CHARLESTON, Wash, Jan. 29.-
James Fyfe, against whom charges
of carrying a concealed weapon and
threatening to do bodily harm to
the person of Weldon Wilson were
preferred, was discharged yesterday
afternoon before Justice of the
Peace Clear, upon stipulations OF
County Attorney shaughnessy and
Attorney George E. Erb, the under
standing being that Fyfe should not
trespass upon the property of Will
son and should hereafter conduct
himself in an orderly manner.
The prosecution was the out
growth of love AFFAIR between
young Fyfe and minor daughter Of
of Wilson. 1t is alleged in the
complaint that Fyfe entered upon
the property of Wilson and there ad-
dressed the minor child and endeav-
ored to induce her to run away from
home with him.

brush along the east border and a
fringe along the southwest line, the
whole canyon is covered with a
dense forest growth. The stand is
heaviest along the creek and on the
lower slopes, becoming poorer above.
Redwood is the dominating tree,
towering high above everything else
and forming fully three-fourths Of
the whole forest.

and scattered over the entire tract
are all the various hardwoods COM
mon to the region, chief among
which are the numerous oaks, mad

laurel, all of which form kind OF
dwarf underwood to the lofty red
wood and fir. The redwood occurs
both in big and small groups and
by single trees, while the other spe-
cies are scattered throughout.
The destruction of redwood by

STRAY DOG SHE FED
SAVES W0MAN'S HOME

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.-Wags, a
stray dog to whom Mrs. Charles Por-
ter of Morton gave food and shelter
last week, yesterday saved his newly
found mistress from being robbed and
from attack by two tramps.
The dog adopted" Mrs. Porter despite
her protests. She tried to chase the
animal away when it came to her home
but Wags just wouldn't quit. He
seemed to have an attachment for the
place, which even the dogcatchers
couldn't break after Mrs. Porter had
appealed to them for relief. The dog
persistence moved Mrs. Porter, and she
took the animal in.
While all the family except Mrs
Porter were away yesterday two poorly
clad men came to the house offering
mushrooms for sale.' When Mrs. Porter
refused to purchase the products the
men became abusive and forced their
way into the kitchen, saying they
would get something to eat anyway.
Mrs. Porter screamed, and Ways, who
was asleep under the table, rushed tc
her aid. He attacked the man nearest
him and bit him about the face and
neck Despite terrible beating, Ways
wouldn't quit the fight until the mer
ran from the house. He chased them
down the road fronting the Porter home
until they were out of sight. Then he
returned to be petted by his mistress.
Mrs. Porter said she wouldn't part
with Ways now for any amount.

RAREST OF DISEASES
PROVES FATAL TO CHILD
Noted Surgeons Witness Operation to
Remedy Enlargement Of Blood
Vessel, but Efforts Arc
in Vain

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 10.-For the
fifteenth time in the recorded history
of surgery a case of aneurism of the
abdominal aorta was noted when Eliz-
abeth August, IL years old, of 1916
South Second street, was brought to
the Jefferson hospital. 1t was thought
she had appendicitis. but the opera
ton disclosed the true nature OF the
disease, one of the rarest known.
| Drs. Nassau and Warren of the hos
pital, who were operating, at once tele-
phoned a number of prominent sur
geons, as the case is the first known
in Philadelphia, and about fifteen re-
sponded, among them DR.. ]. c. Da
Costa, his son, DR.. ]. c. Da Costa Jr.,
DR.. E. e. Montgomery and others.
The malady is incurable, and the
child died, many surgeons attending the
postmortem. One man. stricken with
the disease, is known to have lived
forty-two days, but his case Is said to
nave been exceptional.
The disease is an enlargement of the
aorta, the greatest blood vessel of the
body, and is caused by a weakening of
the walls of the aorta. The result Is a
sort of humorous growth, and the pres
ent Is the only case known where a
child so young was a victim.

LEPER IN WASHINGTON
CAME TO ASK PENSION
Contracted Disease In Philippines, but
Didn't Know 1t, and Wandered
Freely About National
Capital

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-A well-de-
veloped case of leprosy has been dis
covered in a lodging house on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, conducted as a mission
by the Salvation Army, and within two
squares of the capitol. The subject,
| John r. Early, came to washington SIX
days ago from Lynn, N. c.. and had
gone freely about the capital, eating at
various restaurants, mingling with peo-
| pie and using the street cars.
The case was discovered by a physi-
clan called to attend Early for some
minor ailment He observed three sus-
| picious looking white spots on the pa
| TENTS forehead. Closer inspection con-
vinced the physician who promptly no.
titled the health authorities, who took
Early to an isolated quarter of the
district, where a closer Inspection was
made The health department has Of
fcially pronounced the case one OF
| leprosy.
The patient is about 25 years old, has
| a wife and child in Lynn, N. c., with
whom he lived until he came to Wash
| ington. He had no knowledge OF the
| serious character of the disease until
| informed by the physician. He says the
| first symptoms appeared about eight
| cen months ago. He believes he con-
tracted the disease while serving as a
soldier in the Philippines. He was a
private in the Fifth regiment OF New
York volunteers.
Since he quit the service Early has
worked in New York and other cities
| at clerical work and is a member OF
the Salvation Army.
The discovery of the facts was made
public by the health department. Early
| has been placed in tent especially
erected for his isolation in the rear OF
the smallpox quarantine station. He
has been supplied with bedclothes and
clothing and utensils necessary for hv-
ing. His food Is carried to him and
poured into the vessels supplied for his
| nersonal use. He does his own wash

| The room from which he was taken
has been fumigated. Every place In
which he is known to have been has
been fumigated. Even street cars in
which he rode have been disinfected.

pension office several times.
Early is remarkably cheerful under
all the circumstances. He asked the
health department to keep from his
wife information as to the character
of his illness. This being Impossible
he expressed a desire to return to his
wife and child to be permitted near
them if it would not subject them to
the disease.
''If this is not possible, then l am
perfectly willing to remain right mere
or anywhere else the authorities may
say until the end comes" said ne.

The following is recommended to
the reader as one of the best press
agent stories ever foisted upon a de-
fenseless public and relates how Ar
thur Hartmann fooled the sultan.
Arthur Hartmann, the famous Hun
garian violinist who is touring America
this season and who will open the local
Philharmonic season November 27, has
Travelled over nearly the whole globe,
scoring successes from San Francisco
to Sebastopol and from Tacoma to Tif-
lis. The German proverb has 1t that
HE who travels hath a tale to tell.,'
Hartmann has many tales to tell of
his adventures by sea and land, and
| he tells them exceedingly we'll, but the
| anecdote which Is most thrilling con-
Germs the great violinist's visit to the
sultan at Constantinople and the events
that took place during that audience.
| The story is best told In Hartmann's 8
own words, as related by him to q
Berlin interviewer, following the return
| from Turkey.
After all had heard about the sui
| tan's ignorance of civilized music I did
not know whether to feel greatly hon.
| ored at being commander to play be-
fore that much married potentate and
his mysterious court. I remembered a
happening said to have taken place
during the visit of a celebrated Ger
man orchestra at the sultan's palace.
A classical program was played, much
to his majesty's manifest disgust.
When 1t was finished he said: I liked
only the first number; let them play
1t again. The piece was repeated, but
the sultan shook his head. 1T was the
first number that I liked, he comment
ed; the one that sounded like Turkish
music Then 1t was discovered that he
meant the tuning of the fiddles, which
