Paul Bartsch and W. W.
Cooke the Speakers.

With interesting lectures and i'm
promptu discussions, the Biological So
ciety of Washington held its regular
monthly meeting last night in the lee
ture hall OF the Cosmos Club.
Paul Bartsch delivered an interesting
lecture, illustrated by colored lantern
slides, on The family pyramidellidae, "
species OF rare and beautiful shells.
Mr.. Bartsch said that the family of
SHELLS is known by the absence of tongue
and teeth, which are developed in most

are very numerous, but that they are
restricted to foreign areas.
Following the lecture, the question was
discussed informally by a number of
members among whom were Prof. Theo-
dOre Gill and Barton A. Bean.

migration Of the evening grosbeak." Mr.
Cooke said that there are three species
OF grosbeak, one class making its nest

Right Leg.

Gabriel Carol, proprietor of the Alham-
bra Theater, was run down by a big mo-
tor truck at Seventh and F streets north
west, yesterday shortly before noon and
his right leg mangled so that amputation
probably will be necessary.
Alighting from a car in front of the
AIhambra, Carol stepped In the path of
the heavy vehicle and was struck before
the chauffeur, Z. c. Grimes, of 657 F
street northeast, could apply the brakes.
An ambulance was summoned and Ca
rol was removed to Emergency Hospital,
where physicians learned he was suffering
from bruises and cuts in addition to a
compound fracture Of the leg.
Carol who is slxty-three years old, had
just left his home at zoos Fifteenth street
northwest, when he was injured. Rela-
tives hurried to the hospital, but were
told by physicians that the patient was
in no danger OF death.
Carol is of Spanish descent, and was a
sugar planter. He retired with a fortune
and later entered the theatrical business
here. He is well known in Washington.
especially in theatrical circles. Accord
ing to the police, the accident was un-
avoidable. The truck is the property OF
the T. T. Keane Company.

OFFICERS RECALL
FAMOUS SEA TRIP
Men of the Vermont Renew
Friendship.

When the battle ship Vermont went
around the world with the feet several
years ago, the officers on that ship made
a reputation for their good-fellowship.
They lived up to their reputation last
night at a dinner at Rauscher's, and the
Junior officers and senior officers got to-
gether around the festive board with
their wives and went over some of the
old times together.
Richard H. Patchin, a New York news
paper man, was tOastmaster. Patchin
went .around the world on the Vermont
for his paper, and being the only civilian
in the gathering, was quite properly
made POSTMASTER. He carried of the
affair with a high hand, ran the stunt
actors through their PAGES in fast style,
and had the mess in rare good humor
before it was we'll under way.
The men who went around the world on
the Vermont were very exclusive in their
fun-making. They wanted no outside in
reference, and there was none, even from
the reporters, who had to walt outside
Mr. Patchin evidently experienced a
pang at this, but he concealed 1t well.
From everywhere almost came the old
officers of the Vermont, with few in
vited from the outside. And 'auld &C
quaintance" was not forgotten by a sin
gle man.
Those who helped in the jollity were:
Admiral Potter, Mrs. Potter, Miss Por-
ter, Admiral Fletcher and Mrs. Fletcher,
Commander ATthouse and Mrs. Althouse,
Lieut.. Commanders Overstreet, Brinser,
and Snyder and Mrs. Snyder, Lieuts.
Dawes and Stuart, Surgeons Furlong and
Ryder and Mrs. Ryder, Paymaster Baker
and Mrs. Baker, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Patchin.

WOULD PIT CANAL
AGAINST RAILWAYS
Taft and Stimson Would
Compete with Railroads.

Secretary of War Stimson yesterday
conferred with President Taft concerning
ways to make the Panama Canal a COM
peutive agent against transcontinental
railways. The President will embody the
Secretary's views in hi. message to Con-
gress
Mr.. Stimson favors an extension OF
the rae regulating powers OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission to trans
isthmian business as a means OF pre-
venting that route from being throttled
as a competitive agent after the con.
structicn Of the canal, as ne considers
II has been in the past, through the
excessive rates OF the Panama Railroad
route. The Secretary considers the pro-
posal to establish a government-owned
line of steamers as too radical a de-
parture from our past national transporta.
tion policy. Speaking of this, Mr.. Stim-
son said:
we must he more successful in the
future than in the past. The country
has not put its money into this project
to allow the new route to be throttled
as the old one was. And the public tenn
per will see to II that this is prevented
II the influences that have united against
the old route are unwise enough to at
tempt to stife the competition of the
new canal route, more and more drastic
means will be resorted to undoubtedly
to Illustrate such a scheme"

Public Printer Assailed by
Labor officials.

A telegram, charging Public Printer
Donnelly with discrimination and disloy-
atty to organized labor. was sent last
night to the American Federation Of
Labor, in convention at Atlanta, Ga, by
officials of the Central Labor Union. II

Of the charges will be sent to President
Taft tomorrow, requesting that he give
the matter careful consideration.

hour. Most OF these employees got so
cents an hour.

violation Of the eight-hour law" as he
has worked fifty men overtime for a
month while hundreds OF printers are
standing by idle.

CAPITAL WRITER'S
SEA TALE THRILLS
Mr.. JOhnston's Fourth Book
Deals with Briny Deep.

There are plenty Of thrills in Famous
Sea-" Charles H. L. Johnston's latest
book, which is just of the press Of L. c.
Page & Co, of Boston.
Zeno, the Venetian sea king; Sir Fran
els Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, Jean
Bart, John Paul Jones, Admiral Raphael
Semmes, and a score or more of brave
sailors who sailed UP and down the
seven seas years ago, making history,
march through the pages of Mr.. John
ston's new book Thunder of cannon,
clash of cutlass, the shrill call of board
ers away" shipwreck, and storm, ad-
ventures in all climes and every sea and
the famous rivers of the world are de-
scribed with literary charm and historical
accuracy. The rovings, cruises, esca-
pades, and fierce battles of the ocean
heroes make interesting reading.
This is Mr.. Johnston's fourth book. the
others preceding his latest volume being
Famous Cavalry Leaders," Famous In
dian Chiefs" and Famous Scouts"
Mr.. Johnston, who is a son-in-law of
Senator Francis G. Newlands, of Ne
vada, and a Washingtonian, Is rapidly
becoming a second George Alfred Henty,
the famous writer of boys books, who
achieved an international fame. While
the Washington authors volumes are
written primarily for boys, his books are
equally interesting for older persons, and
to read Famous Privateersmen and Ad-
venturers of the Sea- is to experience
a wish that the brave days of old were
here again, instead of this commercial
age, and to want to smell the salt sea
and see the CLINT of sails on the horizon,
beyond which lay the scenes Of world
wide adventure.

dressed the Fred B. Smith Club" at the
close of a dinner rendered him at the

promptness, Mr.. Smith backed up his
statements with facts and figures which
he hurled at his audience in bewildering
fashion. One Of the things he said was:

Gus days ahead. All we have to do is to
continue ten years more in the growth of

not going to be in permanent peril, but
we'll have some bad scenes

beautiful things, I would become dis
couraged. l am perfectly stunned to
know the under rumblings in this coun-
try"
Some facts about the religious work

He said that 5000 men had been men,
bers Of the Bible study classes in the

100000 workmen had attended 500 meet
ings in shops and factories.
