ENGLAND's COUNTRY HOMES.
Essentially Home Loving Nation,
Houses Are Built for Comfort.

From the Delineator.
Two familiar types of architectu =.

any consideration OF English cou ~
houses-the Elizabethan and the Ct.e'

and Anne no definite school of G" ~

England apparently escaped from Er
brid type of building that might ha,
proved her artistic undoing.
In America the Elzabethan dwelling
has been widely popular, perhaps be-
cause Of its never failing harmony with
suburban environment, combined with
an artistic loneliness that is difficult to
excel in q small country house.
The architecture OF Queen Anne's peri
cd, while practically as we'll known to-
day as the Elizabethan, Is not to be
recommended. 1t Is marked by many
artistic blemishes, and cannot be upheld
in any serious comparison Of English
country houses. The English are so es-
sentially a home-loying nation, and
country houses dot the land so thickly,
that it Is particularly to their land that
one turns instinctively in the search for
high examples Of good suburban archi-
lish homes are as a rule attractive in
every way. the people consider comfort
first OF all and appearance afterward.
And what is true of the continent is
true also OF England-the people in rural
districts live almost always in what We
would call the back of their houses, as
far as possible from the dust and noise Of
the public highway. This is, after all.
a sensible manner OF living, especially
when one remembers that country houses
in England are invariably surrounded by
gardens which are hidden from the cas-
ual observer. Indeed, a garden is con-
sidered a necessary and integral part Of
the house itself, and it is a never-failing
source of delight to its owner. 1t is a
pity that i'm America We pay SO little
heed to the Importance Of gardens. for
they serve purpose the value Of which
cannot be Overestimated. They beautify
the houses they surround and give an
air of seculsion, refinement and distinc-
ton to the simplest home

on the roll Of languages. For clearness
of diction it is unrivaled and, thanks to
its abundance Of vowels (close on one

SHIPPERS WIN POINT
Railroad Bill Amendment in
Their Favor Adopted.
CHECK ON RATE ADVANCES
Companies Must Prove Reasonable
ness of Increases Made Since
First of the Year.

Through an amendment to the railroad
bill offered late yesterday afternoon by
Senator Cummins and adopted by the
Senate the shippers won another point
in their fight against the increases of
freight rates.
This amendment will put upon the rail-
roads the burden Of proving in the hear
ings before the interstate commerce COM
mission the reasonableness for any in
creases in rates made since January 1.
1910. 1t is designed to checkmate the
latest move of the common carriers-that
of filing increases to rates before a new
law goes into effect giving the commits
sion power to suspend increased rates
pending an investigation OF their reason
ableness.
Senator Elkins. who has been in charge
OF the railroad bill in the Senate, objected
to the amendment at first on the ground
that 1t was retroactive.
Senator Cummins' Address.
Everybody recognizes that since Janu-
airy l." said Mr.. Cummins, IAN abnormal
situation has existed. The railway COM
panies. in anticipation of the passage OF
this bill and the law which will grow out
OF it, have been everywhere universally
raising their rates.
Il believe that that situation de-
mands the same rule be applied to the
rates which have been increased since
January OF the present year that we
seek to apply to increases hereafter
made. There is no injustice in it.
Il hope that the senator from West
Virginia will recognize this tremendous,
gigantic effort on the part of the rail
road companies to get their increased
rates into effect before this bill passes
and will not object to that part OF the
amendment"
Senator Elkins withdrew his objec-
ton and the amendment was adopted
without a division.
Another Amendment Passed.
Another amendment, offered by Senator
Smith Of Maryland and adopted by the
Senate, provides that the law now in
force in regard to damages done by &C
cident on water lines shall continue in
effect.
Senator La Toilette introduced his
amendment for q physical valuation or
the property Of all railroads In the
United states, and it was under discus
sion by Senator Stone Of Missouri when
adjournment was taken until IL o'clock
TODAY.

YOUNG GOULD GOES BACK
RETURNS TO SCHOOL FOR THE
NEXT FIFTEEN DAYS.

POMFRET CENTER, Conn.,, June l.
Edwin Gould is back from his dash for
Broadway. His father. Edwin Gould Of
Ardsley- on Hudson, brought him in from
Hartford yesterday SO footsore he could
barely walk alone. and turned him over

The Pomfret School will close June Il,

those who will return in the fall. His
father is anxious to have him return. he
is willing enough himself, but Mr.. Gould
had trouble in securing his admission
for the rest OF this term even.
The boy has been at Pomfret for just
three weeks. The station, the post
Office and dozen handsome summer
homes comprise all there Is to Pom
fret. The school is not a disciplinary
institution in any sense. and the boys
themselves were about as indignant
over that characterization as they were
over young Gould's escapade.

last evening, and added that he'd re-

that the boys felt that way about it.
The attitude taken by the boys them
selves seems to have had a good deal
to do with young GouIds action.
They looked him over as boys will be-
fore they gave him a rating. and it was
the delay in fixing his rating that gave
point to his dissatisfaction. Mr.. Gould
insisted yesterday that his son had not
run away. He says he merely started
out on a walking trip over the Memorial
day holiday. The boy dissents from his
fathers version.

Suggest $4,000 Purse.

reply was received this morning
by DR.. Albert Zahm. secretary Of the
Washington Aero Club, to the tele-
gram sent yesterday to Glenn Curtiss
and c. X. Hamilton with regard to
the fight from New York to Washing
ton. The message suggested $4,000
as the purse for the flight, though
nothing was said about the way it
should be split between the first and
second men. 1t was suggested. also,
that Washington guarantee $4,000 of
the purse.
The inference drawn from this was
that the matter has already been taken
up by Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York, the other three cities interested
and that the contestants have no doubt
as to the remainder Of the purse being
raised. 1t is possible that there may be
some negotiation over the amount but
on the whole there is little doubt felt
that this part of it can be arranged.
1t is question whether there will be
any attempt on the part OF the Wright
company to enjoin the fight in case any
of the Wright machines do not compete,
but this is a matter that will be left for
further developments
There will be meeting of the board Of
directors of the Aero Club called to con-
slider the matter as soon as possible. and
there is no doubt that the Aero Club and
the Chamber Of Commerce will work in
conjunction as they did in attempting to
bring the International aviation meet to
Washington.

Aerial Race From New York
to Capital Is Planned.
FOURTH OF JULY PROGRAM
To Be Chief Feature of Safe and
Sane Celebration"
INDORSED BY BIG CONVENTION
Curtiss and Hamilton Both Give Ap-
proval to Project-Purse of
$4,000 Proposed.

There is a fair probability that the
Fourth of July will be celebrated in
Washington by an aeroplanc race from
New York and ending here. Glenn Cur
tiss and c. X. Hamilton have both given
their approval to the plan, the Aero Club
or Washington has Endorsed the flight,
the papers have taken it up and there
VIII be meeting of the board Of direc-
tors or the Chamber Of Commerce this
AFTERNOON to consider the scheme and
make definite arrangements for backing
the event
1t is possible, of course that the Fourth
OF July may not be favorable day for
the flight, but the chances are that 1t
will be. The records of the weather bu-
reau show tina about - per cent of the
days at that season Of the year have a
wind velocity considerably under fifteen
miles an hour, and that will be quite
low enough to insure the flight.
Aeroplaning is not yet an exact science.
and CurtisS had to wait almost a week
before conditions were ripe for the trip
from Albany to New York, but it is be-
Eeved that If the New York-Wa shingto ton
flight is set for July 4 it can be made
on schedule time. and will add an inter
esting feature to the safe and sane
celebration.
