TAFT is REAL EXPONENT
OF THE STRENUOUS LIFE
President Has Daily Routine That Exceeds Even That
of His Predecessor in White House.

a bit pale from lack Of golf and plenty
of outdoor exercise, but still in good
trim.
Any one who thinks the President has
an easy time should remember his daily
schedule. He is up before Z o'clock, and
with his physical director, DIR. Barker.
he does some stunts which serve to give
him an appetite for breakfast
Mr.. Taft leaves the Executive Mansion
for his Office shortly after . o'clock, and
from the time he arrives until 1:30 or
2 o'clock he is constantly with the Cabi-
net or with callers. Many a day he
shakes hands with scores of visitors and
talks with members of Congress and
other officials about important matters.
After luncheon the President usually
comes back to his Office for an hour or
more Of work. Then he goes for a
long walk of several miles through the
Capital. After the walk he sees more
callers and frequently does not get into
the White House until close to o'clock
the hour for dinner.
Although Mr. Taft probably likes home
life as well as any other American. he
has accepted far more Invitations to
'go OUT than did his predecessor. . The
President has almost completely forgot
ten q custom followed by Mr.. Roosevelt
Of not attending social functions outside
the White House except those given by
the Vice President and members of the
Cabinet. Mr.. Taft has frequently At

oncers of charitable organizations OF
this city will meet this week to decide
ways and means of preventing frauds
that are being practiced in the name OF
charity.
The centralization plan provides that
all moneys collected are to be turned
INTO a central place and thereby easily
accounted for. One of the charges made
by some of the officials is that a great
deal Of the money which is turned into
the organizations is squandered.
Commissioner Rudolph lays the blame
on the organizations themselves. saying
that a fraud would not be possible if
they were unified.
Hopes to Stop Fraud.
Rev. Zed H. Copp. pastor of Bethany
Chapel and one of the most prominent
charity workers in the city, said that
while he was positive that fraud was
being practiced on the public, he was
just as sure that the mode Of working
these frauds would be stopped in a few
weeks.
I'VE intend to set the public straight
on matters of charity" he said. MANY
people row refuse to contribute toward
charitable bodies because they are afraid
the money will not be used to the best
advantage. We intend to have the char
ity work in Washington SO well organ
iZed that when a person sends in money
to a charitable organization he will
sure that the money will be expended
advantageously and not squandered."

The chorus improves steadily. Additions

In the course of time musicians are
added to the ensemble and there is an
orchestra as well as a chorus. Then the
opera season draws near, and the stage

Hotel bills have been cut down; rail-

You have thus been able to make your

LOVE AS THE FOUNDATION.
". ID. Mckenzie Lands Brotherhood
Before TheOsOphicaI Society.

Proclaiming that brotherhood could
never be realized unless love was at the
foundation of all things, and that Christ,
Budcha. and Confucius were such pow
ers for the upilft of humanity because
alrruism and brotherhood were the domi-
rant notes in their teachings, W. D. Nc
kenzie delivered an address yesterday
morning before the TheCsophical Society,
at 1917 III street northwest.
The application of brotherhood to such
fields AS religion. government, and poll
tics is carried out in such movements as
the Peace Conference in Edinburgh and
other movements of that kind he said.
THE three stages of brotherhood are
the love for humanity, realized in the
consciousness of the individual and the
Transformation it makes in social and
political institutions

parts of the cerebrum. Admitting that
the brain of a monkey resembles in
form, at least, that of man. it may be
possible by this means to prove or dis
prove the theories which have arisen in
recent years as the result of attempts to
locate mind. or the higher intellectual
faculties of man in the frontal region.
or more especially in the prefrontal
lobes.''
Pointing ont the general conclusions
obtained from what he characterized as
but the mere beginning of the expert
ments which it is hoped to make. DR..
Franz mentioned the following findings
now at the disposal Of physicians in
their great work Of fathoming the won
ders Of the brain:
In all monkeys. IS well as cats. the
frontal lobeS are normally employed in
the formation of simple sensory asso-
Citations. When the frontal ,obes are
destroyed, recently formed habits are
lost. 1t has been found possible. how
ever. for an animal to form new associa-
tions or to relearn old tricks. When
the associations are fully established. de-
str Icton of the frontaIs is not always
followed by loss. There are degrees
of memory for any such particular habit
from perfect to a very decided hesi-
fancy and slowing The experiments
show that there are mental disturbances
with disturbances of the
frontal lobes. but that the mental change
which is described cannot be determined
by simple Observational methods
Senses of Color and Sight.
Among other experiments to be tried
by the use Of monkeys at the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane will be
series of efforts to locate the seat Of
color sense and the sense Of sight. These
will be carried on through the coloring
of portions of food. In observations
which have recently been made in re-
gard to monkey habits and tricks by W.
I. Shepherd, Of the George Washington
University medical department. it has
been discovered that an animal readily
recognizes color. Through the process
Of placing Quinine in bread dyed a GER
tain color, it has been learned that a
monkey learns to avoid it by It's color
alone. Trepanning experiments, soon to
be made, are expected to prove or dis
prove the theory that sight of man is
controlled by the posterior lobes of the
brain.

The new Office for insanity cases.
Change in District Building Which Excites Some
Comment Is Explained.

The Office of the sanitary officer, which
has been located on the fifth floor Of the
District Building. has been moved to
the end of a public corridor on the main
floor. This transfer has occasioned some
criticism on the part Of physicians who
have to deal with insanity cases. They
claim that the facts which are made
known to the sanitary officer in regard
to insanity in families are largely con-
fdential and. the present location of the
office in a public corridor does not in
sure privacy. Examinations, it Is as

SURGICAL AID RENDERED.
DR.. Parker Denies Story Concerning
Young Mans Death.


The death at Providence Hospital last
week of a son of Col. Oliver c. Sabin, a
Christian Scientist. residing at 1879 NJ
street, was made the occasion yesterday
Of rumors to the effect that proper med
ical or surgical attention had not been
provided.
Investigation last night showed that the
young man met with serious accident
some time ago in Maine whereby his
thigh was fractured and other bones
broken. AS he did not improve by hos
pital treatment in that State. he was
brought to this city and taken to Provi-
dence Hospital. where an operation was
performed by DIR. Edward Mason Parker
of 1716 NJ street. Quite A number of bone
fragments were removed. but. owing to
the fact that septic poisoning had al
ready set in, it was impossible to save
the young mans life"
Everything that surgery could do was
DONE" said DIR. Parker last night, "and
there is absolutely no foundation for the
report to the contrary"

Work was begun Saturday in removing
the frame houses in First street, between
Pennsylvania avenue and street north
west and preparations will be well under
way by February % toward erecting a
four-story hotel on the site of the old
landmark. The hotel will cost s15O.OO0,
and will be owned by Morris Weinstein,
Of 96S Broadway, New York City. 1t
will be named the Winston Hotel
The hotel will face directly on the Capt.
tol grounds and will front 80 feet on First
street and will have a depth of SS-6 feet
The material will be red brick with white
clay terra Gotta, and will be elaborate
in every particular. Balconies will be a
feature of the front decorations. The
construction is in charge of the Jacob
Summers Company of Brooklyn, n. Y
The hotel will contain 1e5 rooms and
S. baths. The main floor will consist Of
the Office, a large dining-room, and a
reception room. ladies' reception room
will occupy the front part of the second
floor. The contractors plan to have the
hotel ready for occupancy by $uly I.

First street northwest to make room for
the hotel another old landmark of the
city passes into history. For many years
before the Italians moved into that part
Of the city the dwellings were used as
boarding-houseS, and many OF the me-
chanics who were building the Capitol
in the early 'JO's made their homes there
The row originally consisted of twelve
frame houses, and after the days of the
rebuilding of the Capitol were over, were
rented by thrifty people who made no
pretense of style whatever, but worked
hard and saved their money. For this
reason the newspapers of Washington
about thirty years ago nicknamed the
row of houses CHARITY Row The
houses were owned by John Purdy. and
when he died he left eighty-siX houses
in the immediate vicinity. He was mar
ried in No. 10 about sixty years ago.
Within the past ten years the row has
been rented by Italians who worked
mainly for the railroad and contractors
in this city.

USING MONKEYS TO
. STUDY MANS BRAIN
Continued from Page One.

said he. "and it has been demonstrated
that the operation is not specially in
convenient to them. The handling of the
brain itself-even that of humans-does
not cause pain. Animals are continually
being sacrificed for food. Is it not proper
that a few should be sacrificed that man
may be rescued from i'll health and death
through the knowledge obtained?"
Continuing DR.. Franz said that the
main results obtained thus far were pro-
duced by teaching certain tricks and
habits to monkeys and then removing
that portion of the brain in which the
motory incentive of these movements is
supposed to lie.
Habits Due to the Brain.
Through experiments OF this kind on
nine animals" said DR.. Franz. I'VE have
been able to establish definite Indications
that both the frontal and posterior asso-
citation areas of the cerebrum are con-
cerned in the formation of simple sensi-
motor habits. For instance two monkeys,
which were taught to approach box
containing food and unlatch an intricate
door to obtain it, both lost their habits
after being relieved of certain portions
of tn. frontal lobeS of the brain. In
previous experiments with cats, / dis
covered that certain haOltS were repeat
edly lost with the removal of portions OF
the frontals, for upon each removal it
was possible to reteach the habit. A
similar recovery has been obtained in
the event of disturbance, or even the
destruction of speech centers in man.
I'm the case of three monkeys,
rhesus and two ringtails, which / taught
the habit of opening the food box and
performing certain hurdle jumps. there
was loss of sensory motor associations
upon the removal of certain portions OF
the frontal region, although with the
rhesus monkey it was impossible to find
any difference in behavior. The ringtails,
however. lost all Of their habits and were
less friendly In different experiments
on four other monkeys they retained
their habits with the loss of certain
brain portions. but they were slower in
their movements. We were able to de-
termine definitely that the changes, such
as they were, were not due to the
shock of the operations, but to the he
sions themselves"
Effect OF Brain Removal.
"It is thus discovered" continued the
doctor, that any definite sensory-motor
which may be produced in
an animal in few days may be hin
dered or destroyed by the removal Of
