maligned by forestry cranks and
others who have insisted that our
soil is fit for nothing but raising
jackpine.

Police Appeals Heard.

The District Commissioners have heard
an appeal in the case of Private T. B.
Brown of the first police precinct, who
has been found guilty on charges Of neglect
of duty and Of conduct unbecoming a DO
licemap and recommended for dismissal
by the police trial board. w. J. Lambert
attorney for the accused officer in appeal
ing to the Commissioners to have the
findings of the trial board set aside, said
his client should have been acquitted, as
the testimony was of such nature as to
absolutely prove his innocence
A strong appeal for leniency in Browns
case was made to the Commissioners by
Cen Andrew S. Burt, commander of Bar
ry Garrison Army and Navy Union He
said he appeared before the board, not
only as comrade of the accused police
man, but as his former captain in the
famous Fighting Ninth" Regiment
The Commissioners stated at the con-
clusion of the hearing that they would
take the case under adviSement before
making a decision.
The appeal of Private w. r. Halloran.
who has been found guilty of conduct un-
becoming a policeman and inefficiency by
the police trial board and recommended
for dismissal. which was scheduled for
hearing before the Commissioners this
morning, was postponed upon the request
of w. J. Lambert. attorney for the police
man, until Commissioner West can be
present.

told very frankly what the President
thinks of such a proceeding. He declared
that he was unaware that the women
he introduced had already been several
times denied a presentation and that he
had never heard of the lOng-Standing rule
which forbids the President receiving for
eigners without the approval of their en-
basSies or legations.
President Roosevelt regards the White
House as the home of the American peO-
pie. and he will not receive there any
person whom he would not invite to his
own private house. A clean cowboy or a
horny handed of toll is always well
come. Such people have been received in
an even heartier manner than some of
the great and rich But a line is drawn
on regulations, and no invitation to a
public function will be sent to any per-
son whose Responsibility is not vouched
for by some senator or representative or
other person in whom the President has
confidence. Sometimes you see funny peo-
pie at the White House receptions. Some
times you wonder how they got there. but
you may always be sure that they have
been invited at the request of a senator
or representative.

Council Hears Reports Of Committees
and Makes Plans for Future.


Reports from the chairmen of the vari-
Gus committees of the organization were
presented at meeting Of the Council OF
Jewish Women held Tuesday afternoon
in the vestry rooms of the Eighth Street
Temple Mrs. Charles Goldsmith. presi-
dent of the council, presided over the
meeting. The work of the Atlanta, Ga,
Orphan Home. where the council has
placed fourteen children, was discussed
at length. and 1000. it it is stated. has
already been subscribed by the council to
the work Of the home. A decision was
reached to make additional donations
when the same are needed.
Mrs. A. Sanders, who recently sent a
supposedly incorrigble boy to the home
told the members of the council that he
had since reformed and become manly
youth. She also read a letter from the
boy telling Of his life at the home and
thanking her for sending him to the
place.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Sanders re-
marks 1t was decided to give an entertain
ment to raise funds for the institution.
Mrs. l. Neuman. treasurer reported that
the sum of $1,000 had been raised at the
two entertainments recently given by the
members of the council
Mrs. Alexander Wolf made a plea for
the instruction and not the pauperization
of the needy; OF aiding the poor by teach
ing them how to make their own living.
Mrs. David Sanger told of the condition
of many of the alley jewellers of the Capt.
tai city. and appealed to the members OF
the council to lend their aid to this branch
of the work. Mrs. Adolph Kahn made a
short address, the work of the night
classes in English being conducted by the
members of the council being her theme.
At the close announcement was made
that Dr. Lee r. Frankel of New York
will lecture in the vestry rooms of the
temple Monday evening. Mrs Kitty

ton of Mr.. Charles w. Darr that "the
sale of malt and spirituous liquors can
not be stopped by legislation; that the
enactment of prohibition laws would SIM
ply throw the business into vicious hands:
that 'speakeasies,' so-callei clubs and
sO-called drug shops will flourish and vile
chemical inventions and connections, as
we'll as morphia and cocaine, will take
the place of the properly attested liquors
that are now sold In reputable sa oons."
1t was also the opinion of several men,

laws it will be necessary to double the
police force of Washington. 1t was de-
clared this opinion was based on the

HOLD MASS MEETING.
Congress Heights Citizens Hear Ad
dress by Representatives.

Representative Frank Clark of Florida
and Representative Cox OF Indiana made
addresses last Tuesday ar a mass meeting
of the citizens OF Congress Heights. The
meeting was preceded by a brief session
of the citizens association. The secretary
read the bill recently introduced in the
House by Mr.. Sturyis of West Virginia
providing for a single-track extension OF
the railway from the present terminus of
the trolley line at 9TH street and Nichols
avenue. Congress Heights, along that ave
nue. and the Livingston road to Shep-
herds Landing. The president. Mr.. But
terfield. directed attention to the fact
that the terminus of the road was To-
Gated IN Congress Heights when only a
few houses were in that section. The
town has grown. he added and further
bill was Endorsed and the question was
referred to the committee on legislation.
DR.. Charles NJ. Emmons. chairman OF
the executive committee of the associa-
ton. was then called to the platform.
He introduced as the first speaker Repre-
sentative Clark.
I'VE have in Congress delegates from
Hawaii and Alaska and men from thou
sands of miles away from the National
capital who undertake to pass your laws
for you and who don't know anything
about YOU Mr.. Clark said. Even If
they are disposed to give you a square
deal they don't know how. 1t is indeed
amazing that the people of your District
have no power to say where the improve
inents shall go. how taxes shall be levied
and whether the saloon shall be open or
closed.
You are not looked after as we'll as
the FilipinOs, the speaker declared.
why, they have two delegates who can
speak. introduce bills and draw mileage.
but you can't go on the floor of the House
or Senate nor before committee ex-
cept by the grace of some one. and you
can't draw mileage. This District should
have two or at least one delegate in Con-
gresS.
Mr.. Clark remarked that he favored
municipal ownership, local form of gov
eminent acceptable to the majority of the
citizens of the District. ana offered his
services to the people of the District to
aid them in Congress in any project OF
benefit and improvement and in the defeat
of legislation that was sought by inter
. ests inirnical to the people at large.
Representative Cox urged the people TO
continue their meetings, agitate their
grievances and seek the redress of their
wrongs. He declared it is incredible
that the citizens have no voice in the af-
fairs OF a national capitalize seat of the
government that dominates virtually the
entire hemisphere. The speaker added
that before he leaves Congress he hopes
to see the people of the District effect and
conduct local government.

New Steamers Put On.

Unfortunately we have no steamers I'M
der the American flag to either coast of
South America. but in anticipation of
increased travel. the Lamper & Holt
Company and the Hamburg American
Company. which have been furnishing
communicate between North and South
America for several years. have put on
some new steamers. especially adapted to
the climate and the cruise. The first
named company sends a steamer twice
month, touching at Bahia. Rio de ia
metro. Santos. Montevideo and Buenos
Aires. and has recently added to its
fleet the Votaire the VelasqueZ and the
Verdi. which pave displacement of
geo tons and are equal in every respect
to the best transatlantic liners. They are
making the voyage in twenty days The
Hamburg American Company has trans
ferred the PrinZ Adelbert and the Prinz
Oscar. each of 5000 tons. from it's Med
iterranean service. and they are now rum
ming between New York and the Brazilian
ports. They are especially fitted for
tropical service.

In the world. 1t never rains. it never
blows, the sea is always as placid as

the steamers stop at some port almost
every day, which gives the passengers an
opportunity to go ashore and see the
principal cities of the coast without break
ing the voyage.
The best time to go to the east coast
of South America is during our sum-
mer. which is the winter season there. and
the best route is to go down one side
of the continent. cross the Andes be-
tween the Argentine Republic and Chile
by rail- and return by the other coast.
The railway across the mountains has not
yet been completed. but the gap is now so
narrow that 1t may be covered by
carriage ride of two or three hours.

nate enough to make such a tour will
