FINE ARTS COMMISSION
WILL DESIGN TABLETS
Senate Committee Wishes Uniform
Markers for Historic
Sites in District.

A uniform design for the tablets that
are to mark the historic sites in the Dis
trict is desired by the joint COMPRESSION
al committee on library. which has the
marking in charge.
At a meeting Of the committee this
morning in the Office of it's chairman,
Senator wetmore, it was decided to ask
the commission Of fine arts to furnish
the committee with a suitable design for
the tablets 1t Is proposed to have the
tablets alike in size and shape and gen.
eral ornamentation; but. Of course, each
will have its proper inscription in the
center. The committee indicated its de-
sire to have an artistic tablet, but still
not an expensive one.
Two tablets were erected in connection
with the celebration OF the Fourth of
July last summer. but they were different
In design and were prepared in a hurry.
Members of the committee in talking over
plans for marking other historic sites ex-
pressed the belief that tablets Of uniform
design would be preferable to tablets of
varying designs.
There is still about $3.50 available for
marking the historical places in the Ma
tional Capital, and as soon as the design
is obtained from the commission on fine
arts the committee will consider recon-
mendations of the local committee, OF
which William F. Van Wickle is chair
man, AZ to other places which ought to be
permanently marked for its historic asso-
Citations.
The committee also considered the offer
made by Miss Caroline Ransom to give to
II. Thomas. It was decided that the COM
mission on fine arts should pass upon its
artistic merit and value before the COM
mittee decided to accept it.

QUAKERS WHO LOVED COLOR.
Anna Dickinson Used to Gloat Over
Cav Bits of Cloth.

From the Youths Companion.
A retired Philadelphia shopkeeper once
testified that no customer was quite SO
exacting as a Quaker lady buying her
exquisite best. Wholeheartedly as the
Quakeress may accept the Friend pro-
hibition of gay color and fashionable cut
the innocent vanity Of woman is by no
means necessarily discarded along with
frpperies Nor do all Friends accept
those prohibitions, at least in youth, with
entire submissveness.
A lady of Quaker parentage once con-
fessed to a young friend the bitterest
tragedy Of her childhood. The day sne
was sent to school for the first time she
wore severely plain brown frock ana
brown hat to match-a hat with neither
ribbon, flower nor feather, OF course. out
finished round the crown by band OF
the same brown straw in difrerent anu
more fanciful weave.
1t had passed muster with her mother
but the schoolmistress was Quakeress
of more austere and old-fashioned type
She summoned the new, shy, frightened
pupil to her side, produced pair or scis-
sors ruthlessly ripped OF the onendlns
decoration and placed 1t in the child s
hand.
Take that furbelow home to thy
mother" she bade her gently. but with
chilly firmness. land tell her that thee
canst not wear it to my school.
She had a natural love for beauty ana
brightness, and for years 1t was her
deeply cherished secret ambition to pos
sess a yellow satin gown.
But by the time ! had grown up and
married out of meeting, and could have
worn all the fancy plaits and gay satfns
that ] wanted she concluded ruefuily,
Il didn't want them any more. And as
for paradins about in a yellow goWn-l
would rather have died. / only came
TO nv Ouakery taste for quiet colors
after I'd stopped being a Quaker"
A more distinguished woman than she,
born among the Friends. had an even
more passionate love OF color. Anna
Dickinson. the once famous woman orator
of the eos. used in her girlhcod to collect
every stray bit Of bright ribbon. cloth
or even paper that fell in her way and
hide it in her bureau. In the seclu-
sion OF her bare locked room she would
null open the drawer and revel in the
brilliant hues of the little heap.

.FLEX|B|uTY Of RATES
DEFENDED BY Mr.. HINES
Declares Interstate Commits.
sion Is Not General Man.
ager of Railroads.

THE interstate commerce commission
is not, under the law. the general mana
ger of the railroads of the United States"
declared Walker Hines of the Della
ware and Hudson. and chairman Of the
executive board of the Sante Fe, in pre-
senting his argument before the inter-
state commerce commission today at the
eastern rate hearing in behalf OF the
railroads proposed increase in freight
rates.
had been in this country a fexibility of
freight rates. Generally this nexibil-
ity had been downward. Congress-. he
urged, has evlnced no intention to in
terfere with that fiexibility.
1.-The whole theory Of railroad regu-
lation," said Mr.. Hine, lis TO prevent
the imposition Of unreasonable bur-
dens upon the shipping industries"
railroad operation ought to be considered
and compared with the earnings of other
great industries, with a view to determin-
ing what might be considered as a fair
return to the railroads. a maximum
limitation of return should be based
upon the risk and work of the capital in
volved.
Between the minimum and maximum
return there is a wide business latitude.
1t would shut the door Of hope to invest
ors in railroad securities If the lower line
of rates should be insisted upon. 1t would
be an infinite misfortune If railroads
should have to suffer from regulatory
exigencies in bad years and not be per-
ritted to enjoy the opportunities afforded
by good years"
1.-THE limit of the increase Of railroad
freight rates in this country practically
has been reached, in my opinion. and I
ask this commission to take that into
consideration in this case" declared f. D.
Robbins. counsel for the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad. I'VE are
carrying today many articles Of freight
at points below actual cost OF the serv-
ice." he continued.
Mr.. Robbins explained that the New
Haven road had in contemplation the ex-
penditure Of $37,O0O,OOO in various large
improvements.
do you expect to pay that amount out
of surplus or from funds raised on Sc
curities issued?' inquired Commissioner
Prouty.
I'VE shall pay what we can out Of any
surplus We may earn. but the remainder
we shall have to provide for in some other
way"

WHISKY INTERESTS HEARD.
Bill Before the Ways and Means
Committee Urged.

A delegation Of speakers. representing
the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association Of America. told the House
ways and means committee today all
about whisky and the best time to take
1t. Representative Hill Of Connecticut
was insistent upon that point. and Rep
resentative Fordney Of Michigan suggest
ed to the witness that the best time to
take whisky was when q man felt in
the mood for 1t. The delegation agreed
that the more aged the whisky the bet
ter 1t was for the consumer.
The speakers were a. ]. Sunstein of
Pittsburg, John G. Bower of Cincinnati
and j. A. Wathen Of Louisville, and the
pending measure was the bill to provide
an Allowance for loss Of distilled spirits
deposited in internal revenue warehouses.
Whisky interests all over the country
were represented at the hearing. 1t was
claimed that an inadequate allowance for
losses by evaporation Is having q serious
effect on distillers and dealers who manu-
facture and handle large quantities of
whisky: that 1t encourages the use Of
much immature whisky, adds to the
cost. and has depressing effect on the
value Of all whisky in bond.

A Missouri Pioneer.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
At the Sni ford. i'm Lafayette county.
where the old Santa Fe trail crossed the
Sni river, are the remains OF a distillery,
a primitive Baptist church and the resi-
dence of James Warder. The James
Warder house was a noted place in the
old Missouri on the old trail. Warder, SO
the story goes, was a hard-shell Baptist
preacher nearly a century ago. He built
on one side OF the Santa Fe trail a hard
shell Baptist church. where he preached
as occasion offered the iron gospel OF
that sturdy faith. Across the trail but
few yards distant upon the same river
at the same ford he built a distillery,
which he operated during week days,
and the product Of which he soio at rea-
sonable prices, pure and undefiled. as oc-
casion demanded. His home was upon
a rocky eminence to the east of the
church and distillery overlooking the Sni
river bottom. The traveller along the
trail at Warders ford was. OF course,
compelled to make the dangerous cross
ing of the Sni river, but he had the OPP
portunity of terrifying himself for the
fording by a visit to Warder's distillery
or Warders church, or both. This land
mark gives a glimpse into primitive con-
ditions in what Is now western Lafayette
county.

Actuated by the determination that

the Americans, Cannon and Groce, during
the Nicaragua revolution shall be prose-
cuted, the State Department today asked
Consul Moffat at Managua for a report
on the situation.
The department telegram of inquiry

that the former president should not be
permitted to return except under the
cloud OF an indictment for alleged
