Western Union to Take
Day Telegraph Letters

The Day Letter is the latest Western
Union innovation TO popularlze and ex-
tend the facilities of the telegraph serv-
ice. That company announces today
the Inauguration of the fifty-word Day
Letter as the day companion to the
ffty-word Night Letter, which is now
so much used for all kinds of CORES
pondence.
1t is just a year since the Western
Union launched the Night Letter, and
the popularity and success of that serv-
ice in providing the means for an ex-
tended use of the telegraph by the pub
lie has prompted the company to give
to the public similar advantages in the
day service.
The Day Letter is to be written in
plain English. code language or code
be transmitted as the facilities Of the
company will permit during business
hours of the day, full rate kilograms
having priority of transmission.
AS the wires of the company are in
much demand during the midday hours
1t is advisable that day letters should be
filed as early in the day as possible. This
is desirable, so that the company may
dispatch and deliver day letters within
the business hours of the day on which
they are filed.
Day letters will be accepted at all Of
fees of the Western Uuion at any hour
during the day, or they may be sent in
by telephone.
The rate charged for Day Letter of
fifty words or less Is one and one-half
times the ifty-word Night Letter rate
and for each additional ten words or less
one-fifth the initial charge For. ex-
ample, the Night Letter rate between
New York and Chicago Is so cents the
Day Letter rate will be one and one
half times that, or IS cents, with Is
cents for each additional ten words The
New York-San Francisco Night Letter
rate is $1.00; the Day Letter rate $3.50.
The Day Letter and the Night Letter
give the United States the cheapest tele-
graph service in the world.

HOUSE PASSES LAST
OF LARGE MEASURES
Turns Attention Today to
Scores of Smaller
Bills.

With the last Of its appropriation bills
out of the way the House began to
breathe easier today and turned its at
tentton to scores of bills of a general
and private character aid to confer
ence reports. These will engage most
Of the time of the lower body undl Sat
urday noon. Meanwhile, the Senate has
eleven appropriation bills to act upon'
that nave passed the House.
The general deficiency appropriation
measure, carrying in round numbers
$S,OOO,00O passed at midnight last night,
Chairman Tawney announcing his de-
cIsion earlier in the day to dispose OF
the bill before adjournment.
The principal fight over the measure
came when the section authorizing the
creation of a Government bonding bu-
reau, to be known as the fidelity divis-
ion of the Treasury Department, was
reached. The object of the creation Of
such a bureau is to permit the Govern
ment to bond its own employees. who
will pay their fees into the fidelity di-
vision instead of a private bonding con-
cern.
Hard Fought.
The legislation was hard fought by
number of members from the cities
where some OF the larger bonding COM
panies have their offices. Some mem
bers of the Maryland delegation and
particularly Mr.. Covington, opposed the
plan of the Government to enter the
bonding business. Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer of Pennsylvania moved
to strike out the item, but was voted
down 66 to 81.
The House, after much debate finally
approved an appropriation of $500 for
Elliot Woods, superintendent of the
Capitol building and grounds, because of
the aid rendered the commission which
erected the House office building and
power plant. 1t was necessary for MIR.
Tawney, Mr.. Mann, Mr.. AdamSon, and
others, however, to tell of the valuable
services rendered by Mr.. Woods and of
the large saving his advice had made
possible for the Government before
Representative Cox of Indiana would
withdraw a point of order against the
item.
Hughes Humor.
MIR. Hughes UI New jersey injected
a little humor into the debate just be-
fore midnight by offering an amend
ment to appropriate $4,000 for Com.
mander Peary because of his discovery
of the North Pole.
A certain Arkansas member took the
amendment seriously, just as Mr.
Hughes and every one else knew he
would do, and was upon his feet in |
stantly making a point of order The |
House laughed heartily, as planned by |
Mr.. Hughes, and the latter did not press |
the issue after everybody except the |
Arkansan got in good humOr.

Negro Youth Faces
Charge of Forgery

Accused by the police of devising an
Ingenious scheme by which he was en-
abled to negotiate alleged worthless
checks, Seymour Anderson, a seventeen
year-old negro, Of 1886 Covington street
northwest, will be arraigned in the Po-
lice Court tomorrow on a charge of for
gerry.
BY means of ltters of recommendation
signed with the names Of business men
in the northwest section of the city.
but which the police charge were writ
ten by Anderson himself. the negro is
alleged to have induced Benjamin Muir
~ay, a liquor dealer in Seventh street,
near o street northwest, to cash an al
legged bad check for $14. The check bore
the signature of Lemmore w. Saker, q
bicycle dealer, at S205 Fourteenth street
northwest.
BY the same method Anderson is also
alleged to have passed a forged check
for $50 on a Mrs. Brandeis, of Twelfth
and Q streets northwest. The negro was
arrested last night by Policeman Jones,
Of the Eighth precinct. He is a graduate
of a colored high school and is said to
be an unusually clever penman.

In equipping the Panama fortifica-
tons with the most powerful gun In
existence the board of Notifications
has a well defined plan in view. There
is no doubt in the opinion of military
authorities that with 14-inch guns
coast defenses are more than an equal
to battleships with guns Of the same
caliber.
What is sought by the war depart
ment and the joint board is to equip
the Notifications with such powerful
guns that the enemy's feet can be
kept SO far from the canal that 1t
cannot drop shells or projectiles into
the waterway. A large projectile fired
over the Notifications dropped into
one Of the locks or dams might close
up the canal for a veal or SO. The
forces on the canal must not only keep
the enemy from reducing the forti1ca-
tons but from doing damage to the
waterway.

Pacific Coast Has a Customs Scandal

N investigation of alleged under
"A valuation frauds involving several
millions of dollars has been instituted
by the customs authorities at b port
of San Francisco, Cal. Disclosures
which, it is said, will eclipse in mag
nitude the recent customs frauds e
posed in New York, are promised by
the federal off Gals. The investigation
centers around some of the biggest
importers Of Oriental wares in the
United States, and 1t Is alleged that
some government officials are In
volved.
The government activity includes
the principal seaports of the entire
Pacific coast and extends to Japan,
where secret service agents have been
busy for the last few months amass
ing evidence of the alleged frauds.
Held at the custom house in San Fran
cisco there are at present 500 cases
of Oriental wares consigned to a sin

principally of crockery, alleged to be

His Future Expenditures.

Among the most frequent requests
thai go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity Or
g~anizat1ons, hospitals and other phil
anthro2tc undertakings. One day q
charity worker asked Senator Flint
Of California, who is no a wealthy
man, to give a large sum OF money
for a free ward in n of the hos
pitfalls
81 am sorry hat ! cannot comply
with your request" said the senator
gravely; but, judging from the num-
Der Of similar demands that have been
made upon me in the past, have de-
cided that ! can promote a greater
charity. The al amount Of money
spent on hospitals in this town con
v1nces me that thousands of people
are going to die and be buried with
out flowers. Hereafter, | shall devote
my spare money exclusively to send
ing flowers to the dead."-The Sun

Plans for the Canal For~tifications

GIBRALTAR may be robbed of the
distinction of being the most I'm
pregnable fortress in the world II the
plans Of the fertilization board in the
Panama canal zone are adopted. AS
a preliminary, looking toward this end,
the war department has ordered the
16-inch gun now stored at Sandy HOOK
proving ground to the canal zone.
Although the gun vas constructed ten
years ago, nc more powerful weapon
has beer produced in the world. It's
range is beyond 16 miles and its pro-
jectiles, aero-torpedoes, weigh 2,4OO
pounds, and could easily destroy a
b%attleship before it reached a point
near enough to do damage to the canal
locks or other portions Of the water
way. Later on more guns of this cal
iber will be placed there.
Super-dreadnaughts. according to the
calculations of ordinance experts, can
be sunk easily by the 16-inch gun at
distances Of 16 miles from the mouth
of the canal. This is not the limit of
the range of the great gun, but it Is
about as far as hits can be made,
even with the aid of range finders,
which are to be installed in the forti-
ficatiOnS.
The projectile of the gun is virtually
an aero-torpedO. 1t will weigh 2.4OO
pounds and will carry about $50 pounds
Of high explosives. There is not the
least doubt that even at an extreme
range of Is or 16 miles the projectile
will penetrate the heaviest armor plate
on the largest battleship, After the

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS there has
w been a distinct revival here of in.
terest in banking and currency legisla-
ton. There are at least three reasons
for this, which may be enumerated as
follows:
l. The announcement that an ryan
ization to be known as the National
Citizens league is being formed to ad-
vocate some sort Of federal reserve as
ISOLATION.
2. The organization in New York
city of the National City company,
with capital stock of So 0O, 900, as an
adjunct of the National City bank, and
for the purpose of acquiring and hold
Ing stock in other banks.
g.. The movement on the part of the
insurgent Republicans in the senate,
and supported by some of the Demo
Gratis, to compel the national monetary
commission to close its affairs and re-
port to congress not later than Jan
uary l., 1912.
The activities mentioned would in
dicate that banking and currency leg
islation will become a live topic in the
autumn, INT probably will receive
much attention at the next long ses-
sion Of congress-. 1t Is not believed,
however, there will be any legislation
The prevailing view is that 1t
will take congress several years to de-
eide what it wishes to do about the
creation of a national reserve asso-
citation.

Many Inquiries are Left Unfinished

among persons who are particularly
interested in this subject.
The Democrats of the house have
laid out enough investigation work to
keep many committees busy until mid
summer next year. The Democratic
leaders intimate that 1T is their inten-
ton to keep UP the investigation bust.

gress gets out of the way of the ma.
tional convention of the political par.

The inquiries into the affairs Of the
steel trust n the sugar trust nave
attracted wide attention, n have de.

entitled, but which the people ought

Each Of the inquiries Is to continue
for months. The committees will get
down to work again In the fall, and
if they continue to find pay dirt"
they will continue their researches far
into the session that is to begin in
December. The Democrats, 1t is said,
plan to Investigate other trusts during
the next session. ,

house on expenditures in the several
executive departments expect to re-

Outside his own cleverness there Is
nothing that SO delights Mr.. Virgins
as a game Of baseball, and when he
gets a chance to exploit the two at the

1t was that the other day, when little
red-headed Willie Mulligan, his office

to ask for the afternoon off that he

why, certainly, Willie. What's

"All right, sir" shifted Willie. as he
