BABY GIRL ABANDONED
ON IOWA CIRCLE BENCH
Waits Cries Bring Aid, But Police
Are Unable to Discover to
Whom She Belongs.

The vail Of an infant assailed the ear
Of H. L. Wohlford as he was passing
through Iowa Circle about 8 o'clock laet
night.
Seeking the source of the wall, Wohl-
ford discovered a little baby girl not
more than six weeks old all alone. seated
on one Of the park benches and crying
her tiny lungs out for the attention her
short career justified her in demanding.
A pretty white dress adorned her. and
she was snug and warm in black coat
Wohlford took up the waif in his arms
and discovered the park Waterman, John
Urquhart. They sent for the police patrol
wagon.
The little one was taken in the auto
wagon from the second precinct to the
home of Annie Kent, District nurse, at
1894 9Th street northwest. When the
waif was searched nothing was found
to give a clew to those who deserted her.
Two couples had been seated in the
park, the police learned, shortly before
the infant was found. Nothing indicates
that they had any part in the abandon
ment. No other woman nor automobile
was seen in the vicinity at the time SO
far as the police were able to ascertain.
The founding is under the care Of the
nurse for the board of children's guard
ians. Several persons have already ex-
pressed desire to adopt her.

GETTING READY FOR CRUISE.
Auxiliary Power Yawl Seabelle Be.
ing Given Thorough Overhauling.

The auxiliary power yaWl Seabelle, be-
longing to Henry Seymour of this city.
which has been out on the marine rail-
way at Benefits boatyard for the past
two weeks having her metal keel removed
and other work done to her, will be put
overheard at high water today to have q
new 80 horsepower Standard engine in
stalled and new spars stepped. The ves-
sci is to be made ready for her annual
cruise on the New England coast. and is
expected to leave here for New London
about the end OF this month. The
changes being made in the boat will
make her a power cruiser and her cam
vas will be used only in fair winds. The
removal Of the metal keel OF the Seabelle
will make her draw about two and half
feet less water and will make her avail
able for service in shoal water.
The power launch Levant, recently pur-
chased by T. A. Rhodes jr., was hauled
out on the marine railway at Regan's
boatyard yesterday for cleaning of hull,
and for such repairs as are needed to
put 1t in thorough order for service. The
vessel will be reprinted and redecOrated
before being returned to the water in
the latter part of this week.
The cruiser Bellerose, belonging to Capt.
A c. Danzenbaker of this city. is also
out on Regan's railway for attention to
hull and for cleaning and repainting. She
will be ready TO launch this afternoon or
tomorrow, and will at once return to

tended cruises on the river.

TWO-CENT FARE WANTED|
LINCOLN PARK CITIZENS SEEK
CHEAP RATE FOR PUPILS.
Appropriation for Safe and Sane
July 4 Entertainment Made
by Association.

The Lincoln Park Citizens Association
at Ingram Memorial Church last night
held the last meeting before the summer
vacation.
Miss Alice M. Sawyer, chairman Of the
committee on entertainment, superin-
tended the serving Of refreshments in the
gymnasium. Rev. J. w. Frizzell. pastor
Of the church, invited inspection of the
swimming pool, gymnasium and bowling
alleys.
Several ladies enjoyed bowling. The
water was too chilly for a plunge.
d. A. Edwards. president of the asso-
citation, offered a resolution asking for 4
two-cent car fare for school children.
Plea for Lower Fare.
The resolution recited:
Three OF our largest high schools
Central. Business and McKinley-are so
located that many of their pupils must
use the car lines. The Western High
School. although in intent local high
school. is so placed that large proper
ton of the students must use the car
lines. The Eastern High School even
now draws from remote territory. in
part. and by the time it reaches the size
of the other white high schools will have
considerable proportion of car-riding
students
The white normal school. which in
cludes all white students of the city TAX
Ing the normal course; the cOlored nor
NAL school, likewise a central institu-
ton; the colored manual training school
and the colored academic high schools
all draw their pupils from remote Sec
tons. Moreover, In the organization Of
01,tl xys~ n.-A- -
considerable number of pupils in the
graded schools must, Of necessity, make
use of the car lines.
1T Is believed that such a measure
would not work hardship to the railroad
companies. but would. in part, cause
lie school pupils. and that. on the other
hand. the relatively small loss of revenue
resulting to the street railway companies
would be but a fair consideration for
the valuable charter privileges and the
increment Of earnings due to the natural
growth OF the city"
The resolution was referred to a COM
mittee.
Mr.. Edwards also offered a resolution
opposing the use on East Sapitol street
OF pay-as-yOu-enter cars with seats run
ming lengthwise. The resolution was re-
ferred to committee.
Communications From Associations.
A communication from the Takoma
Park Citizens Association asked indorse-
ment of the project for municipal control
of the gas supply.
Endorsement of Representative Samuel
W. Smith of Michigan was sought: and
his constituents were asked to aid in re-
turning him to Congress by the Bright
wood Park citizens. Members of the as
ISOLATION deemed 1t unwise to dabble in
politics. The communication from the
Brightwood Park Citizens Association
was tabled.
Martin Roth and A. G. Smith were
elected members of the association. APP
preparation was made for the fund for a
safe and sane Fourth of July entertain
ment.

SAVE ROCK CREEKS BEAUTY.
Commissioners Favor Acquiring
Land to Preserve Scenic Effect,

To acquire nearly all the land lying
on the slopes Of Rock creek within
sight of the Connecticut Avenue bridge,
protecting that structure from en-
croachments by dumping and private
building operations. the Commission
ers have sent to the Capitol a report
on a bill framed to acquire eighteen
and one-half acres of the land along
both sides Of the brook. The estimated
value of the property is given as
$4,000.
It is the idea Of the Commissioners
to have the big "million-dollar bridge
the center of a beautiful landscape.
with the slopes OF Rock creek care
fully nursed into a beautiful park in
stead OF being SCARED by ruthless eH-
cavation or marred by piles OF ashes.
Without acquiring this big stretch OF
land the Commissioners say that there
would be no way to keep the Connecu-
cut Avenue bridge from being ruined
from an esthetic standpoint by all
sorts of rubbish heaps and cheap
buildings right alongside.

REMISSION OF TAXES SUGGEST.

Inducement Proposed for Construct

To give prizes In the form of remission
of taxes to owners Of buildings along
Pennsylvania avenue who come nearest
to the requirements of a proposed city
beautiful building ordnance is suggested
by Charles II. Israels, secretary Of the
Municipal Art Society OF New York.
Mr. Israels' suggestion Is in the form OF
a letter to Senator Newlands of Nevada,
transmitted to the District Commission
ers. 1t speaks Of the possibilities Of great
beauty along Pennsylvania avenue and
gives a sharp dig at some of the "archi-
tectural hodgepodge'' which lines the
street.
"It occurred to me that it might be Of
following general scheme Of municipal
ordnance which might be OF beneht to
Pennsylvania avenue.
No one can see the magnificent street
without being impressed by its architec-
tural possibilities and similarly disap-
pointed with the architectural hodgepodge
with which this beautiful street is lined.
1 would therefore suggest that If it is
possible the best results might be OBJ
tanned by the passage Of an act, which
while making no compulsory regulations
for the construction of buildings on this
street. would offer prizes to be given
by the municipality for buildings which
conformed to certain standards, those
standards to deal not only with the
character of the design and possibly with
the material with which the facade of the
building is constructed, but also with the
two main heights: that is. the main
cornice height and subsidiary cornice
height over the first-story or basement.
Finally that these prizes be given in
a remission of taxes a sliding scale,

buildings conform to the standard set up
by the act

Just about two years ago some form Of humor
appeared on my scalp. The beginning was
slight itching. but it grew steadily worse until,

and the ends Of the comb teeth would be wet
with blood. Most Of the time there was an in
tolerable itching, in a painful, burning way very
much as a bad, raw burn. II deep. will itch and

hair was positive torture. Ny hair was long and
tangled terribly because OF the blood and scabs
This continued growing worse and over half my
hair fell out I was in despair, really afraid of
becoming totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was great that, when
partially awake, 1 would scratch the worst

could not sleep well and. after being asleep a
short time, that awful singing pain would com.

Naval Yacht for Sale.

The naval. yacht Hornet. relic of the
Spanish-American war, has been offered
for sale to the highest bidder, and 1t
looks as If no one wants her at the val

Naval appraisers thought the vessel was
worth 5000. but when the one bid re-
ceiyed for the vessel was opened only
81 800 was offered by a. Oslen of Brook
iyn. The difference between the ap-
nrafsed value and the amount offered for
the yacht may induce The naval officials
to revise their ideas as to her worth.
The Hornet, before her purchase by the
