BETTER VENTILATION
IN THE CENSUS OFFICE
Large Fans to Be Installed at Once,
Through influence of
Mrs. Taft.

The employees OF the census Office are to
have better ventilated Offices, thanks to
Mrs. Taft. Through her influence with
the President, Director Durand has been
authorized by Secretary Nagel Of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor to have
several large ventilating fans installed at
the bureau at once. 1t is also said that
certain offices in the Treasury Depart
ment building will have similar fans in
stalled.
The agitation for better ventilation is
being kept up by the National Civic Fed
Grafton, of which Mrs. John Hays Ham
mond and Mrs. Richard Wainwright. both
of this city, are prominent members.
Some days ago they visited the census
bureau and after investigating the condi-
tons there asked Mrs. Taft to urge the
President to see if something could not
be done to alleviate the situation.
Shortly thereafter Secretary Nagel sent
word to Director Durand to get the fans,
and the head of the census bureau lost
no time in arranging to have them in
stalled at the earliest possible moment.

Humane Society Not Defended.

Although the two organizations bat
tered upon the name of the Humane
Society no representative appeared to de-
fend it.
g. A. Snow, before the hearing started,
had appeared with Walter Stilson Hut
chins, president of the society. and told
the Commissioners they were under a
misrepresentation. They said they did
not expect there you'd be hearing on

Yields All for Home Rule.

At a banquet in Dublin last night John
Redmond said he was prepared to subor-
dinate everything to home rule. He rec
ognized the fact that the lords would veto
a home rule bill unless their veto power
was knocked out. For that reason, IL Mr..
Asouith was not in a position to say he has
guarantees that will enable him to pass a
veto bill this year, the Irish would not
approve the policy of the liberal govern
ment In other words, if the proposition
70 c,,rtail the veto power of the lords was
not passed, but was subordinated to the
budget, the Irish party would not sup
port the government.

Difference Regarding Foreign Aid.
The Figaro today reveals the fact that

opinion prevailed in the councils Of the

acceptance on the ground that France

compensate her for the loss to her pride

However the majority agreed that it

upon the results internally and exter-

URGED BY HORSE OWNERS
ADVOCATES OF NEW CRUELTY
TO ANIMALS BILL HEARD.
Purpose to Divert Four Policemen to
This Work Finds Disfavor With
Commissioner Johnston.

Nobody is going to improve the special
police functions of Humane Society or
any similar society at the expense of the
metropolitan police force, if Commissioner
Johnston has anything to say about 1t.
This is apparent from the hearing at
the District building this morning, where
the Horse Owners Protective Association
and the Chamber of Commerce committee
on law and legislation told the Commits
sioners why the bill before the Senate to
change the existing cruelty to animals
law should be accorded the recommends
ton of the Commissioners.
The BILL as it stood before tie hearing,
provided, in effect, that four policemen
should be taken from their beats and
handed over. billy badge and helmet, to
the Humane Society.
Commissioner Johnston Protests.
Commissioner Johnston listened atten-
lively to this portion of the bill. Then
lie said:
But there is no provision in this bill
to replace those four policemen any
where. Is there? No. And those four
policemen are practically lost to the
service. They are gone"
The Commissioner made gesture
which would indicate that the four DO
Hcemen had been dumped out of the
boardroom window.
The commonest criticism of the police
force here is that you can't find a police
man when you want him. And this bill
will make 1t still harder. 1t will add
two or three or four blocks to the beats
of some other policeman and decrease
the efficiency of the force just that
much
The hackers of this bill were especially
anxious to emphasize the section of the
bill which takes away from the Humane
Society the fines for all prosecutions I'M
der the cruelties act.
a. l.. Sinclair told the Commissioners
that In the hearings before the Chamber
of Commerce, e. A. Snow of the society
had admitted that the compensations Of
the agents of the society were regulated
by the amount of money brought in by
them through Police Court fines This
condition the Chamber of Commerce and
the Horse Owners Protective Associa-
ton seek to change through the enact
ment of the bill.

AN EFFECTIVE HOME MADE
KIDNEY AND BACKACHE CURE
Easily Prepared Medicine Which is
Said TO Regulate the Kidneys
and End Backache.
Bug-Hey! Wait minute, Mrs.

To make up enough of the "Dande-
lion Mixture" which is claimed to be
a prompt cure for Backache and Kid
ney and Bladder trouble, get from any
good Prescription Pharmacist one-half
ounce fluid extract Dandelion; one
ounce Kargon Compound and three
ounces Compound Syrup of Sarsapa-
rilla. Shake we'll in bottle and take
In teaspoonful doses after each meal
and again at bedtime.
Those who have tried it say it acts
gently but thoroughly on the Kidneys
and entire urinary system, relieving
the most severe Backache at once.
A well-known medical authority rec
ommends the prescription to be taken
the moment you suspect any Kidney,
Bladder or Urinary disorder or feel a
constant dull Backache, or if the urine
is thick, cloudy, offensive or full Of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a scalding sensation; or for
too frequent urination during the
night.
This is real harmless vegetable
mixture which could not cause injury
to anyone and the relief which is said
to Immediately follow its use is a rev.
citation to men and women who suffer
from Backache, Kidney trouble or any
form of Urinary disorder.
This is surely worth trying, as it is
easily mixed at home or any druggist
will do it for sou. and doesn't cost
much.

bers. The present owners charge
two dollars for the first admission
to the cave and one dollar for each
succeeding visit. Four trips are nee
essary to see all the wonders. Each
one takes from four to six hours to
make, I'D the four enable one to
see practically all the sights, If one
is willing to walk some twenty-five or
thirty miles. On one long trip prac-
tically every important sight could
be seen if the guides were disposed
to show the cave that way. If the
cave shall ever become the property
Of the government, is lighted by
electricity and shown in a way that
will not take three or four days, and
a modern hotel be built to replace
the present barnlike quarters, Nam
moth cave will come into it's own
again.
However, there are many obstacles
that will have to be overcome before
this can be brought about. When
Doctor Croghan, the owner, died in
1849, he left the entire Mammoth cave
acres, in the hands Of trustees for
the benefit of his nine nephews and
nieces, with the proviso that when
they should all be dead the trustees
should sell the estate at public auc-
ton. Five of the heirs are still alive,
and although the youngest Is seventy
two, it may be many years before the

out. At public auction the Louisville
& Nashville railroad probably would
be the purchaser, for already 1t owns
practically all the land around the
cave, and for a long time 1t has been
known that the railroad would like to
get it to boom its traffic. The rail-
road and the trustees have been at
loggerheads for years, with the re-
suit that the road makes no effort to
stimulate traffic. The trustees of the
estate do not spend any money In ad-
vertising the cave or for improve
ments. They are content to get what
revenue they can from admissions to
the cavern and from the hotel.
Representative Thomas declares the
government could step in and buy the
cave despite the Croghan will, which
provides for it's sale only at public
auction, and then only when the last
heir shall have passed away. If he
can get sufficiently large appropria-
tion-probably $1,000,000, for the tim
Der on the land is worth $250,000-
the government can have the estate
appraised and pay the appraisal price
to the trustees. His idea is to have
the federal authorities improve the
estate and make the cave once more
famous show place. The thousands
of persons who have visited the cave
in earlier days, who have seen it's
wonderful stalagmites, who have
sailed on it's Echo river and who
have sat in the star chamber, will
sympathize with him and his plan.
And unless his plan be carried out
in the near future the cave will be abb
solutely forgotten except in its imme-
date vicinity The guides and the
people who live near the cave love it,
and they are looking forward to the
time when under government control
hundreds of visitors will arrive daily
to see it's wonders as they did in the
good old days "befo' de wah."
