MEN PLAN
GIANT WAREHOUSE
Washington Commission
Dealers Hear Of Project to
Erect Mammoth Building.

Washington commission men are
greatly interested in the reported plan
of out-of-town capitalists, said to De
representatives of z. II. Hartman and
Swift & Co., to erect near the intersec-
ton OF the Pennsylvania railroad and
Mt. Olivet road a mammoth warehouse,
including 100 separate storage buildings
with tracks OF the Pennsylvania railroad
running into them, for the use of the
Capitals merchants and buyers.
The report OF this undertaking, which
lacks confirmation, grows out of the
purchase by OUt-Of-tOWn interests Of
q tract OF land in the locality mention
ed from Frederick Mertens, a Washing
ton real estate dealer. The sale was con-
Quoted through Christian Ubhof, an
other broker.
While neither Of the persons here con-
cerned In the transaction will disclose
the names of their clients, It is under
stood that the tentative plan for the
warehouse will involve an expenditure
of $500 900.
The Tea will be to erect a building
or series Of buildings capable of prOvid-
ing storage for the great quantities Of
fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter. dressed
chickens and other produce now stored
in various buildings scattered through
out the city.

BURLINGTON, n. J., July a.
Scores of men are today dragging
Rose Pond, in the pine swamp, about
ten miles from here. in the hope that
they will find the body of a beautiful
woman who mysteriously disappeared
from the Metropolitan Inn at Burling-
ton last Thursday night.
Evidences of a struggle, together
with many articles of woman's dress,
have been found on the banks of the
pond, and while the county officials
believe they may reveal suicide, the
summer boarders refuse TO accept that
theory. ar declare a murder has been

Former Senator Hemenway Of Indiana
will in a short time make a report TO
the Senate Committee on Public Ex-
penditures. by which he is employed as
an expert. on the plans he has evolved
for the enforcement of economy in Gov

sibly before adjournment. A subcom-
mittee of the committee is expected TO
meet and consider the report before the
members scatter for the summer.
A permanent commission to promote
economy in Government expenditures is
recommended by Mr.. Hemenway. He
has collected a large amount of data
on the subject showing where there Is
waste ana extravaganza. where dupIi-
cation exists, and where reductions can
be made in expense without impairment
of service.
Mr.. Hemenway has not yet made pub

but there is reason to believe he VIII

1t is pointed out by Mr.. Hemenway
that for the last ten years the expendt-
lures have been growing at the rate
of about $4,000, 900 annually. Thus far,
the movement for economy has been
confined largely to the Senate, but the

ANVIL CHORUS BUSY
ON CAPITOL HILL
High Tariff Advocates Said
to Have Called Taft
Free Trader.

The more the facts leak out as to the
feeling in high tariff circles in Con
gress toward President Taft. the more
interesting they become. Speaking of
anvil chOruses, there is one at the
Capitol which doing a beautiful line
of hammeTing at the expense Of the
President. 1t develops that this was
begun on the day that tWenty-three
Republican members Of the House, all
opposed to the removal Of the duties
on raw materials. went to see the
President and were told that the dut-
les on raw materials had to come down.
It was at this time that the fate OF
the tariff commission was sealed.
When the supporters of duties on raw
materials got back to the Capitol they
held a meeting. and in this, behind
closed doors, there is good authority
for saying that there was lot or
plain, UNPUBLISHED and interesting talk
ing about the chief executive.
One eminent high tariff advocate IS
said to have got up and denounced Taft
as a free trader He recalled the train
ing in political economy Taft had had
at Yale. In addition to the feature OF
the tariff bill which gives the President
the power to name tariff commission
ers, to advise as to the administration
of the maximum feature Of the law, and
to report information to Congress, this
member said there was nothing to pre-
vent the President appointing any num-
Der Of commissioners and that in con-
sIderation of the views of the President
il was dangerous.
Tt was at this time, that the word
was sent out that the tariff commission
proposition had to be carefully guarded
and the provision for reporting to Con-
gress stricken out. The plan was exc
Cuted and the tariff commission propo-
sition made as harmless as possible.
President Taft was much aroused when
he heard of it, but seems TO have found
no remedy.

FRENCHNAN URGES
PREMIUM ON BABIES
Richel Would Pay Bonus on
Births to Stop Race
Suicide.

PARIS, July 2.-Professor Richel, Of
the academy of medicine, today took
steps to have his ideas regarding the
lifting of the alarmingly low birth rate
in France incorporated in a bill for
presentation before the assembly
when it meets in october.
DR.. RicheTs plan is an enlargement
of the old idea of paying bonuses for
the birth OF children.
For the first child there would be no
bonus, under his scheme. But for the
second, there would be a 800 bonus
and a 500 bonus for each succeeding
child. At present only about 80, 600
births occur annually in France. and
RicheI says the adoption of his scheme
quickly would bring the number to a
million, and eventually far above this
figure.
The cost to the government, RicheI
says, would be about SEQ, COO, 600 a year,
and he proposes TO meet this by a
death tax OF 50 per cent on property
left to an only child.

Cummins is looking into railroad mat
ters with a view to formulating bills
on important phases of them. He is
convinced that this Government should
take hold of the railroad rate situation
and settle it with something like perma-
nenCe by establishing general SEIZED
ule of rates for the whole country.
He would adapt the English system
Of railroad regulation In this respect to
the United States making important
notifications to suit conditions here.
Having a rate once fixed by the Gov
eminent il would not be increased until
the railroad company had made a show
ing to the commission Jnat an incre3 sc
was necessary.
Senator Cummins is aware this Is an
advanced proposition but he says L or
something like it has to be taken up
before there is anything like a satls-
factory settlement of the rate question.
Just what changes should be made in
the system for the administration of
the interstate commerce laws, Senator
Cummins says he is not yet ready to
gay He thinks the law should be mOd1-
fed in a number Of details. One thing
that should be done is TO give the COM
mission authority 10 INQUIRE into the
proposed increase Of d rate on COM
plant Of a shipper. Now, it is neCes-
Sary for the rate to so into effect be-
fore complaint against it will lie
1t is already becoming apparent that
the proposition TO divide the powers Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission,
so as to leave that body quasi-Judicial
powers and take from il the admins
tTative powers, leaving the adminlStra-
ton to the Department of Commerce
and Labor is going to encounter for
midable opposition in both houses OF
Congress next winter. Many believe il
would weaken the enforcement Of the
law President Taft has been looking
into this question, and It Is quite gen
orally expected he VIII advocate some
thing like it. Nevertheless, il looks 81
if any such plan would have a hard
road in both houses.

THE REAL ROBINSON CRUSO

1t was zoo years ago in Febru-
airy that the real Robinson Cru
soc that you have all read or
heard about was found on an is
land. Think of it; he had lived
there alone for over four years.
Let me tell you how it happened.
Robinson Crusoe's real name
was Alexander Selkirk and he
was a sailor. He quarreled with
his captain and when the snip
they were on arrived at the little
island of Juan Fernandez, which
you can find on a map of the Pa
cific ocean, this young sailor said
he would like to stay there.
So the ship sailed away without
him, and for four years he lived
with only animals for company, in
la little rough hut he built himself.
There were many wild goats on
this island, and Crusoe. as will
call him now, learned to run very
fast indeed, and caught them
whenever he NEEDED meat to eat.
There were also lots of wild cats
on the island, and he was so lone
ly that he amused himself by tam
ing some and teaching them to
dance.
Once some Spaniards landed on
the island for few days, and
they saw Crusoe and tried to get
him, but he got into a wood and
climbed a high tree, where they
could not find him. Not long aft
er that, to his great Joy, Crusoe
was seen and rescued by two Eng
lish ships.
