washington, rep. 1.-PrOteSting
against loaning government tents for
the use Of the Confederate Veterans
at their annual reunion in Mobile.
Ala, next April, Senator Hepburn, of
Idaho, In the senate late today, made
the sharpest comment upon the is-
sues OF the civil war that has been
heard In Congress in twenty years.
He inveighed against men in "re-
oer' uniform being permitted to oc-
cvupy government property. or the
"reber flag being allowed to float
above 1t. Finally he drifted into the
question Of honoring men by placing
their statues In the Congressional
hall Of fame, and by unmistakable in
ference condemned the action of vir-
ginia In sending the statue of Gen.
Robert E. Lee. to Washington.
Take 1t away and worship It II
you please" he thundered, "but do
not intrude it upon the people who
do not want It,"
Democratic senators moved un-
easily about the floor, conversing
with each other or sat frowning and
angered, listening to the speech. Fin
ally when Senator Hepburn had con-
cluded, Senator Rankhead said:
II am sure the Senator from Ida
no feels much better, and 7 ask for q
VOTE"
"By roll CALL" shouted a dozen or
more Senators. and hands went up in
a second to that request from every
part OF the Senate chamber. When
the vote was held on the tent loan
Ing measure all of the Democrats and
all Of the Republicans except Mr..
Hepburn, voted for it. His negative
vote was uttered in loud and defiant
tone.
This measure was reached near the
close of the session. Mr.. Hepburn
was prompt to raise an objection,
and Mr.. Bankhead just as alert in
moving the consideration, regardless
OF the objection. It Immediately was
evident that the objection reused some
feeling, for with a flushed face and
animated voice. Mr.. Bailey declared
that If this measure was to be ruled
out Of order no other business could
be transacted.
The Bankhead motion being unde.
batable, the Senate Immediately pro-
ceeded to an aye and nay vote on
the question as to whether the reso-
luton should be taken up, and It, was
adopted unanimously, Mr.. Hepburn
himself refraining from voting.
With the resolution adopted, Mr.
Hepburn took the floor, made q
speech in which he went over manv NJ
the Issues Of the war and declared
himself as much patriot now as he
had been in 1S62-1s63-1sS4.
The Southern Senators held a hur.
ried consultation, while the Idaho
senator was proceeding and decided
to make no reply.
1t so CHANGED that Mr.. Heyburn's
colleague. Senator Borah, of Idaho
was the first Of the Republicans to be
reached In the roll-call. He voted
In favor Of the adoption of the reso-
luton.

The great leader of the coored into renewed
prominence by the publication of photographed chap

made by number Of the dissatisfied colored leaders in
various parts of the country.
There is sentiment in favor of a migration to

DR.. Washington is opposed to both. He is teaching the

in sport and half in earnest, they
have sworn to swear off" on hats
for three months. II. at the end
of that time, they find their hair
growing in more luxuriant man
ner, and if the sparse spots are
covered they say they intend to
discard bonnets forever.

ROY BREAKS ARM.

Marshall, the little son of Mr..
Louis Shuman, jr., fell from a fence
in the central portion OF the city while
playing with some boys Of his own
age yesterday afternoon and broke
one Of his arms. 1t is said the young
sters were playing midwest" at the
time. when missiles, in the shape
of bottles, bricks, etc, were beng
hurled. Young Shuman, in lodging
a bottle, fell from the fence. The
Civic League, the Retail Merchants
Association and the city authorities
are endeavoring to bring about an IN
nocent celebration Of the Fourth OF
July by having the explosive and other
dangerous features eliminated. 1t Is
a commendable work, and while they
are engaged in it they might augment
their labors by impressing upon par
ents the danger incident to children
engaging in certain juvenile pas
tines. Playing midwest with bows
and arrows, bottles, bricks, guns, etc,
are sure TO result in accidents. Boys
who speed on wheels on King street
nightly will sooner or later hurt them
selves or others, and as city law
forbids all dangerous games, if parents
take no hand in breaking them up the
authorities should.

FRIENDSHIP COLONIES STARTED
AT VIRGINIA HIGHLANDS.

The advantage Of cooperative living
is becoming more apparent every day
and the city apartment house is filling
the urban need, but there is strong
and increasing demand for suburban
homes and the Virginia Highlands AS
ISOLATION have friendship colony plan
which is proving quite popular. Sec
tons of the new suburb are being re-
served fer groups of congenial families.
One colony of professional men has al
ready formed and purchased 10 build
ing plots and reservation Is being MADE
for several more from the various gov
eminent departments The plan offers
many advantages other than a home
located with congenial friends, for there
is a marked saving in the cost OF land
and home building where purchase and
construction can be carried on at whole
sale. 1t is planned to arrange Tor the
purchased provisions in bulk and so re-
duce the cost of living there. The plan
contemplates parks, Fairgrounds and
central heating and lighting plant and
will be carried out somewhat on the
lines of the garden suburb develop
ments which have proved so popular
and successful in England. The ma
ioritv of the officers Of the Virginia
Highlands Association are Alexandra
men high in business and professional
circle. so an unusual public interest
has been shown in this new suburban
development.

V. Rwy. Co. Downey was troheyman
o. the road, and was thrown irom q
car on the draw of the Highway
bridge. his foot being mashed and sub
sequently amputated He sued the
company in the District of Columbia
for so, 900, claiming that the failure OF
the motorman to stop the car in obedl-
ence to signal caused the accident. At
the trial. the court, after the close OF
the plaintiffs evidence, directed the
Jury to find verdict for the defendant
on the ground that it had not been
proven guilty of any negligence in law.
The plaintiff filed a motion for new
trial, alleging among other things that
he should have been allowed to intro
duce in evidence the speed regulations
of the commissioners Of the District OF
Columbia as they, and not the War
Department, as urged by the defend
ant, had control Of the Highway bridge.
The court sustained this contention IN
granting a new trial. Mr.. Downey Is
represented by Messrs. Edmund Burke
