A Borneo Parasite. 80,
A famous rarity in the vegetable
world of Borneo Is the rafflesia, the
buah pakmah of Malays. The plant is
one of the most degraded of parasites,
and so completely does II submerge
itself In the tissues OF It's host that the
only part which ever shows itself 10
the external world is the enormous
flower. The diameter of the flower
measures about two feet, the odor is
repulsive and there is not one feature
of beauty to recommend II to man. 1t

tant place in the pharmacopOeia of
the natives. which perhaps imagine
that the plant to which nature has
given so uninyiting an exterior must
possess some hidden virtue in the way
of compensation. Various species of
are known In Borneo, and
oddly eaough their hosts are in
species of vine (cissus).

HOUSE IN MYSTERIOUS RECESS
PROPOSED ADJOURNMENT TO
MONDAY UNEXPLAINED.
Tariff Bill Read in Committee Of
Whole Despite Sims Protest
That No One Listens.

-Four minutes late in convening the
House, after being in session six minutes
today. took a recess for fifteen minutes.
Mr.. Payne On. ". who moved the re-
cess, gave no explanation for SO doing.
IN consequence. there was much specula-
ion regarding the procedure.
The Speaker seemed in no hurry to call
he House together again. The fifteen
minutes were extended by him eight
ninuts longer.
When the House reconvened il was
agreed that when adjournment is taken
pday it shall! be until Monday
Without any explanation having been
bffered for the recess Mr.. Payne called
Up the tariff bill. IL was read at length
committee OF the whole House.
The designation by the Speaker OF Mr..
olmsted tPa) chairman OF the com
Elttee while the tariff bill is under con-
nderation elected republican applause.
The reading of the bill was interrupted
~ Mr. Payne with the announcement
nat general debate upon IL would begin
Monday. He said that many newspapers
1ad stated that the debate would no,
commence until Tuesday. He desired To
correct that impression.
Another interruption occurred when Mr.
Sims CTennessee) inquired OF the chair
he reason for reading the bill, when no
me was paying attention.
The chair reminded him that the rules
equired such procedure. unless by unani-
nous consent the reading was dispensed
With.
Then said Mr.. Sims, TO end this
arce. move that the further reading be
dispensed with.
Il object shouted Mr. Fayne in a loud
'oice. The clerk proceeded.

OPPOSE LICENSE TO CLUB.
Anti-Saloon League Claims Bartend
ers' Union Not Eligible.

Attorney Albert Z. Shoemaker, repre-
senting the Anti-Saloon League. appeared
before the excise board this morning and
registered an objection to a renewal of
the liquor license to the Bartenders
Union Club, in f street. Officers of the
club appeared and set up the claim that
the organization is a legitimate one. 1t
was explained by them that the members
of the club are employed during the
week and that Sunday is the only day
they can get together in a social way.
Members of the excise board were told
that there is no longer any card member
ship in the club; that card playing or
gambling of any kind is not permitted
and that the profits go to pay sick and
death benefits. 1t is really a BILE
affair, members stated Mr.. Shoemaker
complimented the officers for their frank
ness, but claimed the club is not such an
institution as the law contemplates.
Tomorrow the excise board will hear
testimony in reference to the application
of the Jolly Fat Mems Club, 1913 d street.
and will dispose of both applications
later 1t is probable that the board will
hear testimony in a number of applica-
tions for ordinary barroom licenses next
week.

MARINES COINS BACK TO SHIPS
COMMANDANT RECEIVES Or
DERS TO PREPARE DETAILS.
Understanding in Naval Circles That
Department of Justice Upholds
Constitutionality of Law.

Although the Attorney General has
not yet rendered Il formal opinion with
regard to the constitutionality Of the
provision of the naval appropriation
bill for the restoration of marines to
duty on warships is is inferred that he
has indicated to the Secretary of the
Navy the probable character of the opin-
ion Of the Department of Justice. AT
any rate, the Navy Department is ar
ranging for a compliance with the law
in question.
The law becomes operative July next
and provides that at least per cent OF
the ships crews shall be marines. Gen
Elliott commandant of the Marine Corps,
has been instructed to prepare the details
of marines to the various ships of the
navy not now provided with them. in ac-
cordance with the terms of the law.
The action of the Navy Department in
this matter is clear to the friends of the
marines only on the assumption that the
Department of Justice sus;ains the con-
stitutionality of the provision in question
for the reason that the previous action
of the department showed that il was
opposed TO the service of marines on ship
board. They contend that the question
of constitutionality would not have been
