Representative Clark went at length
into the appointment Of a disbursing Of
ficer by DR.. White, and the financial re-
ports of the institution. The superintend-
ent laid at rest long line of queries as
to his financial responsibility by pointing
out that he was required to report an
nually to the Senate in full as to the A.
nances of the hospital.
After a long discussion of DR.. Whites

it was not recalled that in a former in
quiry persons had testified that the food
at the asylum was unfit for human con-
sumption. and the attendants were guilty
of inhumlne treatment of the patients.
Cruelty Not Practiced.
To this Dr. White replied:
There were certain people who testi-
fed that the food was not good. In their
opinion. You can find that kind Of testi-
mony in any place on the face Of the
earth that feeds people. A certain num-
ber Of people testified to cruelty to pa
tients, but you will remember that a
great proportion of the people who
SO testified had been people discharged
for cruelty. and I do not know. but that
some of them had been under arrest or
given an intimation Of something Of that
kind on that account, but they were
people discharged for some purpose or
other. Now, ! do not stand here and

At the close Of the hearing Represent

PASTOR TEOTIPIES
TO LOSS OF $3.50
Trial of Officer Reveals Al
legged Shortage.

Although strenuously opposed by At
torney Henry E. Davis, who represents
Barton ]. Miller, former secretary-treas-
urer Of the First Cooperative Building
Association OF Georgetown, on trial for
embezzlement and destruction OF books,
w. e. Ambrose, receiver for the associa-
ton. and his counsel, Attorney Easily
Smith, were permitted TO testify yester-
day afternoon in regard to results OF
their examination into the affairs OF the
defunct association.
Mr.. Easby-Smith said he discovered
$500 actual deeds OF trust and releases
still existing and unpaid. The amount
of outstanding loans of the association,
according to Mr.. Easby-Smith, Is ap-
rroximately $4,000.
BENJAMIN Frisby, a member OF the
auditing committee, testified that when
the safe Of the association was opened
on June 26, 1905, by President John
Fleming. 1t was found to contain a few
cents and stock books; mo stock or
bends"
Rev. zed H. copp testified to the loss
by Miller to the company OF at least
$3.50. Copp said he borrowed $4,000
from the association in 1902, ana re-
duced the loan to $1,000 in 1908. Upon
Millers request the loan was trans
ferred to another company.
Miller negotiated for the transfer.
and was given a check for $3.50 by the
Perpetual Building and Loan Assooia-
tior, 20 whom the loan was Transferred.

'TRUOT-BUSTING"
ERA NEAR AT HAND
Eminent Jurist Sees Trouble
for MonopOlies.

New York. June 6-The statement Of
Albert H. Walker to-day that the Su-
preme Courts decision in the Standard
Oil and tobacco trust cases did not read
any words into the Sherman law or in
any manner so modify that statute as to
encourage industrial and other combina-
tions TO restrain interstate trade created
o PROFOUND interest in financial and legal
circles.
Although the Walker statement was
brief It was startling in the Illuminating.
1t threw the first clear streak Of light
upon a question about which the financial
and legal worlds have been confused ever
since the decision were handed down by
the tribunal OF last resort.
It also made palmer to everybody con-
cerned the meaning Of President Tafts
and Attornev General Wickersham's dec
laration Immediately following their
analysis If their decision that the Sher-
man law was adequate to prevent both
the restrain and monOpolization Of in
terstate trade and commerce.
In the view of Mr.. Walker. one OF the
most eminent Jurists in America, and
Law" a standard work on that subject,
the Supreme Court, in the two epoch
making decisions IN question, has ushered
In a real trust busting area instead OF
an era Of business and Industrial recon
struction 10 framed as to permit OF

CONGRESS LEADERS
ANADJOURNMENT
Hope to Finish Work by
August 10.

The leaders in both the Senate and the
House have been giving some considera-
ton to the probable date for adjourn
ment. The best opinion to be had yes
terday was that Congress would be able
to adjourn anywhere from August l to
August l5 Some OF the Democrats iu
the House have been insisting that the
Senate should concede a vote on the
free list bill and the various other tariff
measures that are being passed in the
House and sent over to the Senate.
There have never been threats by some
OF the Democratic leaders in the House
that the House would hold the Senate in
Washington until October, II necessary,
In order to force vote in the Senate
on all Of these measures. But this talk
is confined largely to the radicals in
the House.
Most of the Democratic leaders will
be satisfied with what the House will
be able to do along that line, but they
may resort to a motion in the Senate to
discharge the Finance Committee from
the consideration of these House tariff
bills IL that committee should show a
disposition not to report those meas
ures to the Senate. The Congress lead
ers will consider themselves fortunate
if they can get the Canadian bill
through the Senate by August !, and
adjourn the extra session not later
than August is.

HOW THE MONEY
Is EXPENDED
Health Officer Explains Need
of Funds for Salaries.

Inquiry at the health department yes
terday showed that there were about
fifty cases of diphtheria in the city, mostly
or light character, while whooping
cough and scarlet fever exist In mild
form. There are six cases Of smallpox
at the hospital and one case of leprosy.
These include about all OF the contagious
disease cases in the city.
In discussing the necessity Of an ap-
preparation yesterday. DR.. Woodward. the
health officer. said that the services of
three physicians, a driver, and two
In addition to this, emergency cases re-
Quire the engagement OF cooks, nurses,
guards, and washerwomen.
The case of leprosy now at the de-
partment reservation enforces the en-
ployment of three guards, who are paid
at the rate of 81 day. This, OF course,
is paid from the appropriation for per-
sonal services
There are at present six cases of
smallpox under treatment at the Small
pox Hospital. This entails the services
OF nurses and cooks. We have also un-
der treatment 1921 cases OF measles,
and II is necessary that these cases
should be watched. AS situated at
properly several cases of measles and
diphtheria which exist.
The funds of the contagious depart
ment will last probably until Saturday.
There is a section of the law forbid
ding gratuitous service on the part of
any persons but physicians, except in
cases of emergency.
Physicians are paid a total OF SIC per
diem Nurses when employed receive S
per diem. Guards, cooks, and washer
women receive 81 per diem, 50 does the
driver of the contagious disease ambu-
lance.
THE second case of glanders IN the
history Of the health department is now
being treated. The cases OF smallpox
are more numerous than usual. Salaries
paid to permanent employees total s6,sS6 a

MISS DEANS BACK HOME,
TIRED OF THE FOOTLIGHTS
Returned to Washington Early Yesterday Morning
from North Carolina in the Keeping of Her Father.

Spring Hope on Monday. She told him
her views OF the profession" and the
views were not favorable. Experience
with hardened actors and actresses
after they had removed their grease
paint shattered her dreams, and she
confessed she was longing to see
mamma"
DR.. Deans lost no time in taking ad-
vantage Of the mood, and boarded the
next train that was moving North. After
several changes OF cars, necessitated
by the desire for speed, DR.. and Miss
Deans arrived in Washington about 1
o'clock yesterday morning.
After awakening taxicab driver, DR..
Deans made all haste for home. Mrs.
Deans was waiting in hope her daugh-
ter would return, and no difficulty was
experienced in forgiving all small Of
fenses. such as running away from
home.
Miss Deans was still indisposed last
night, and is said TO be in a very nerv-
Gus condition. She had a slight attack
OF Mysteries, but, in the opinion of her
father, will be able to recount fully her
experiences this morning.

WOULD DESTROY
ALLEY HOUSES
Believed This Would De-
crease Death Rate.

Doctirs at the health department are
inclined to agree with W. c. Dodge, q
Washington patent attorney, that alley
residences should be abolished. This
statement Mr.. Dodge made Monday night
before the Northwest Citizens Associa-
ton, when he said the death rate Of
Washington Is larger than that of Lon
don, or even Cuba
1t Is the claim Of the health depart
ment officials that alley residences
should be destroyed, and not made sani-
tary, as suggested by Mr.. Dodge. AS to
the death rate, were 1t not fer the negro
population, said DR.. Patterson, chief Of
the division of vital statistics of the
health department, Washington would
be below the average in the number Of
deaths per loo population.
Among the colored residents Of the
District, the death rate is % per 1000
while the average for white persons is Is.

his acceptance OF the position, thus plac-

offer which huttered over the wires yes
terday
To make assurance doubly sure. he
telegraphed The Washington Herald to
the same effect. and declared he would

him: she held a three-year contract at

sent out from Omaha In gleeful defiance
