A Rhineland Legend.

There Is Rhfneland legend Of three
German robbers who, having acquired
by various atrocities what amounted
to a very valuable booty, agreed to d.
vide the spoil and to retire from SO
dangerous a vocation. When the day
appointed for this purpose arrived one
Of them was dispatched to neighbor-
ing town to purchase provisions for
their last scarousal. The other two
secretly agreed to murder him on his
return that they might divide his
share between them. They did so. But
the murdered man was closer cal
culator even, than his assassins, for he
had previously poisoned part OF the
provisions, that he might appropriate
to himself the whole of the spoil. This
precious triumvirate were found dead

BIGGEST GERMAN SHIP
George Washington a PalatiaI
Vessel With Many Innovations.
THE THIRD LARGEST AFL0AT.

New North German Lloyd Liner Has
Thirty-one Cabins With Baths At
tached-StyIe Of Decoration Simple
but EIesant-Several Safety Devices
Installed.
The new North German Lloyd liner
George Washington. which recently ar
rived at New York on her maiden voy1
age from Bremen, in addition to being
the largest German ship and the third
largest vessel afloat, is different In
every way in her interior decorations
from any liner that has ever been in
New York. The roominess Of the
cabins and saloons harmonizes with
the colonial style of the decorations.
The dining saloon, which has seat
ing capacity Of $50 persons, is dec
grated in white, and gold, with red
morocco chairs and :gilded dome,
while the sides are adorned with floral
designs on a blue background. Each
table has, been arranged to seat from
two to six persons, and the chairs are
roomy and movable. On either side of
the saloon there are number of white
painted colonial pillars that give it
more the appearance Of a southern
hotel dining room rather than that of
q saloon Of an Atlantic liner. A2cold
buffet at one end is another Of the
numerous Innovations on board.
One Of the: most, attractive parts OF
the first cabin accommodation is the
smoking room, which is divided in two
sections, upper and lower. which are
connected by a broad staircase. A full
length oil painting Of George Washing
ton occupies the center Of the upper
smoking room, which leads out to the
open cafe on the awning deck. This
cafe is equipped with small tables and
chairs for passengers to take their
after dinner coffee. The gymnasium
is ON the same deck. Forward on the
sun deck is the solarium, a luxurious
lounge seventy feet long by fifty feet
wide, decorated with, green and gold
tapestry and palms and flowers Of all
Aands, which hayesa cool and refresh

thoughtful creation of Professor Bruno
Paul. 1t is located on the utter prom
enade deck, which is entirely given
over to the public assembly rooms ex.
cept for a few cabins of the first class.

And today England has a bad case Of

partment estimates are said to be
S2O,00O,0O0 less than year ago. 1t is
to be hoped that they are, and that
the other branches of the Government
have followed that example.
The President has now turned his
attention to the great committees of
Congress with an appeal that they cut
their appropriations to the bone. This
appeal Is made particularly to the
Rivers and Hsrbors Committee, and the
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds, both OF which are looked upon
as legitimate prey for most members
of Congress. If these committees will
exercise the same spirit of economy as
the President is exacting in the exeeu-

PRESIDENT TAFT'S DESIRE
FOR ECONOMY.

President Taft has great oppor-
tunity to be Of material assistance to
the members of Congress who look with
disapproval upon this day of billion dol
lar sessions. It is not SO long go that
the country gasped in astonishment
when it was informed for the first time
that at one Congress more than
one billion dollars would be APP
propriated for the ensuing year. Even
while the country was rendering over
that immense expenditure every branch
OF the Government was preparing itself
for still greater OUTLAWS, Until today the
billion dollar Congress is supplanted by
the billion dollar session. In other
words a member of the House. during
his two-yesr term, is called upon to
vote for or against appropriations ap-
proximating $2OOO,OO0 600.
The same ratio of increase cannot
continue. Government officials must
hew closer to the line They must con
duct their departments on a strict bust
ness basis instead OF laboring under the
belief that there is no limit to the
amount they viii be permitted to spend.

DISTRICT GUARD OFF FOR
THE MANEUVERS.

The District National Guard will en-
bark tonight on the transports Sumner
and Mcclellan, and set sail for Boston
to participate in the maneuvers in that
vicinity. A force OF about 1000
guardsmen from this city will par
ticipate
1t is expected the maneuvers viii
prove to be the most extensive, and the
best calculated to enhance the training
of the participants, since the maneuvers
on a grand scale at Manassas several
years ago.
General Harries and his men are TO
be congratulated on the opportunity
which is thus afforded them to take
part in a series Of military experiences
such as could not have been had aside
from actual war until a very recent
period The largest force of guardsmen
that has ever gone from Washington
to attend maneuvers viii participate in
these. More than this, the force is
trained to a point that makes it com
pare with the Best national guard
troops in the United States, and even
with many of the regular troops.
If called into service the District
guard no doubt would give good ac-
c1unt of itself. The advantages of par
ticipation in maneuvers such as viii
be held in the vicinity of Boston are
numerous. In the first place, the life
on transport viii be a new experience
to many of the men. It viii be such
an experience as troops would in all
probability be called on to undergo if
hostilities should occur.
The life in camp, under the strict
supervision of regular army officers.
under actual service conditions, viii
give the men training in that best of
all experiences for the soldier, the ex-
perience of how to take care of himself
in the field, away from the comforts
OF civilization. Troops that have
gained thorough knowledge of this
have come close to being veteranized,
as close as they can come without the
actual baptism Of fire. II is an admir-
able schooling the guard has ahead Of
it, and II cannot fail TO profit by It,
of this sort, on the scale
with thousands of guardsmcn
participating alongside the regular
troops, serve To call attention to the
TACT that while the United States is
not a military nation. it is making re-
msrkable progress IN the direction of
an effective training Of a large percent
age of young men in the essentials OF
soldering.

Capital Tales

RIENDS o. Representative Jim
| Tawney. chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations. who
comes from the First Minnesota dis
lrict, are apprehensive over the troubles
ne Is confronted with in his district. It
is nothing new for ,Tawney to have a
night on his hands, but in this case It
looks as if he would have more of a
battle than usual.
1t so happens that at every Congress
sional election some one arises TO over
throw Tawney, b. I is bowled over him
self instead. For this reason his sup
porters are hopeful he will pull through
as usual.
AT the same time, Tawney has an un-
usual amount Of grief this year, and
while he will work diligently this sum
mer in the effort to repair his fences,
1t looks as If he might nave the fight
of his life next summer For this there
are several reasons. IN the first place.
his enemies in the district were quick
to take advantage Of the controversy
between him and President Roosevelt
over the Secret Service. That was seized
on for the purpose of showing Tawney
was a Conservative and a reactionary,
and was aligned with the forces in
Washington opposed TO the Roosevelt
policies Various papers in the district
landed hard on Tawney in the course
of this controversy. He sued one of
them for libel and was beaten.

TARIFF IS WATERLOO
OF SENATOR BURTON
Opposition to Him in Buckeye State Due TO Course
Taken Regarding the Downward Revision
Criticism INDUCED in Concerning Dick

Senator Theodore z. Burton Of Ohio
has stirred up large-sized current Of
opposition TO himself in the Buckeye
State by his course with respect TO the
tariff bill
For his failure to support the cause
OF revision downward he is finding him
self subjected to sharp criticism from
many of the Republican newspapers OF
the State.
The course Of Senator Burton as TO
tariff caused a good deal of surprise
here. Last summer he spoke out for
downward revision Of the tariff. and
took the same stand as President Taft.
In the House he had been inclined 10
independence, and had not trained with
Speaker Cannon. In fact, he has at
times been considered for the Speaker
ship against Cannon.
But when it came TO voting on the
tariff, Senator Button went along with
Mr.. Aldrich. He voted against the cut
and-dried program Of the Senate lead
ers a few times, but not often. lie was
nearly as regular in support of Sen
ator Aldrich as was Senator Dick Then

SESSION
COSTS $50O,OOO
Uncle Sam Pays Well TO Get
New Tariff Law
Passed.

Further investigation Of the cost OF
passing the tariff law shows that be-
fore Uncle Samuel gets through foot
ing the bills Of the lawmakers incurred
during the special session. ne win have
20 pay out close to $3.50. 90.
The principal item of expense Is the
mileage. because every member Of both
houses is allowed mileage at the rats
of 20 cents per mile frorn his hems
10 Washington for every session which
he attends. By the time Che Senators
and Representative from the Pacific
Coast put in their bills this account Is
pretty big. Members OF the House got
just about S154000. while Senators took
away from the Treasury $4,000 for
travelling expenses.
Extra pay for the employees of the
Senate amounted to something more
than s55.8d0 and as there are many more
clerks, messengers. and otaer workers
on the House side il is estimated thai
the pay for the extfss serdces OF the
employees was about 100000 The urgent
deficiency bill carried an item OF s25.001
for general expenses ana it IS said that
most Of this was used To-. expediting
tie passage OF the tariff bill. The of
hciaI reporters Of both houses wers
given about $1,000 to pay extra clerk
hire and other expenses
The item for printing has not as yet
been exactly figured. As many thousand
copies of the bin, in its various stages
OF passage, were printed and reprinted,
not mentioning the many reports ana
other documents of information. It is
estimated that including the printing
item the whole amount OF running Con
gress during the extra session viii
amount ID TO S500oo9.

He is wealthy and does not need the

this
Such is his enthusiasm for the extern

that he has not stopped TO use his own
money when Congress felt unable TO
appropriate for work he felt ought to
