bolts to hold the pieces together 1t is the extreme
lightness of this Speedwell axle that makes it ride
easily on the tires which is one of the secrets of
long tire mileage Speedwe owners obtain. This
axle is what is known as the full floating type in
which the shell or housing is extended through the
hubs of the wheels. On the outside of this housing
are placed two large Timken double bearings on
which the wheel runs The floating or driving axle
therefore carries no weight Contrast this with the
usual type in which the driving axle is made to do
double duty, namely carry the weight of the car and
drive it, in addition to having but single bearing
under each wheel.

chase as public playground and park,

Pleasant playground.
Fred G. Coldren and A. c. Moses. of
the Playground Association, had a con-
ference with the Senator this morning
at which he declared his intention of
introducing the bill next Tuesday, and
his entire approval of the project. Sen
ator Gallinger also told the Playground
men that he considers the method Of
forming a syndicate to purchase the
ground and hold it until Congress shall
take It over, the only feasible way to
save the property from passing into the
hands of builders.
Five prominent business men have al
ready subscribed to this syndicate E. P.
Mertz, Joseph Crawford. James Sharp,
Joseph Strasburger. and A. c. Moses,
and 1t is expected that several others
will lie announced today. An effort is
being made, however, to make the num-
Der of subscriber a large one.
There - no hope that the bill Will be
enacted into law at this session of Con-
gress, but 1t is expected that II will pass
the Senate this session and the House
within the next two or three years

HIS PAY WITHHELD,
HE LEVIED ON HIS
EMPLOYERS FIDDLE
Aged Workman Grows Tired
of Waiting for Wages,
So Takes Violin.

John White, an aged man. when ar
raigned in Police Court today. admitted
he took a violin from the home of Ar
thur c. Townsend, on Wheeler road
southeast, but insisted he did not
cteal II.
White did not tell any romantic tale
Of an overpowering love for music or
Of grinding poverty that prevented him
from obtaining an instrument. His was
a very matter of fact story, more on
the line of the cold-blooded manner In
which Nero Is said to ha handled the
fiddle while Rome burned.
White. according to his story in court
today, thinks he had a just grievance
just as the tyrant Nero thought he had
reason to complain of Rome. He says
White owes him a balance for wages
for the chores that White had done
around the Townsend place, and told
the court he was tired of waiting for
his money, and therefore said he took
the violin Just to square accounts"
Judge James L. Pugh put his stamp
OF disapproval on Whites clearing house
methods by imposing sentence Of
sixty days in jail. But the court order
ed an investigation to see II White can
not be placed in an institution for the
aged. The defendant said that he had
once been an inmate of such insti-
tuition.

Chief Justice White
Asks for Suggestions

Through the clerks office of the Su-
preme Court Of the United States,
Chief Justice White this afternoon
asked that publicity be given to the
fact that the committee appointed to
revise the rules of equity procedure
in the courts would be glad to receive
suggestions from members of the bar
all over the country.
The Chief Justice has conferred with
President Taft and he and Justices
Vandevanter and Lurton, who COM
prise the committee, expect to begin
their work at an early date. Presi-
dent Taft has taken a great interest
in the work, since he believes that a
bringing up to date of the procedure
in the courts will go a long way to-
ward remedying delays in judicial
procedure.

DOLLAR DIPLOMACY
FIGHT IS SWITCHED
TO SENATE FLOOR
Committee Orders Report
Monday on Honduran
Loan Agreement.

The battle over the so-called policy
of dollar diplomacy will be transferred
Monday from the Foreign Relations
Committee to the Senate in its executive
session.
Today, the Foreign Relations Commit
tee ordered the chairman, Senator Gull
lon, to report Monday the Honduran
loan agreement. This action was taken
after weeks of consideration in the COM
mittee. and after a number of sharp
clashes in committee in the course of
that time.
The action of the committee today
amounted to snap judgment on Sem
ator William Alden Smith. Senator
Smith is out of the city. He had sup
posed, so 1t is declared, the agreement
would not be taken up until he re-
turned. But the committee met and
acted in his absence.
Senator Smith, one of the regular
Republican members, is strongly OPP
posed TO the agreement, and has re-
peatedly made known his objections.
All the Democrats voted against the
agreement.
Under the circumstances, the COM
mittee will not be ratified at this ses-
sion of Congress. Whether it will be
ratified at ali IS question. 1t has
to have two-thirds of the Senate, and it
is by no means a certainty that 1t
can get that number of votes.
On the other hand, President Taft
and Secretary Knox will make a strong
effort to secure the ratification of the
agreement. If this agreement fails, il
will mean that the Senate has set it's
foot down upon the policy of this ma
ton aiding in the financing of the
debts of the Latin-American countries.
One of the reasons for the opposition
to the Honduran loan is that the house
of Morgan is certain to profit largely
by it. Another reason is the opposi-
ton felt among some Senators 20
American interference in matters Of
this kind.
The Nicaraguan treaty was taken up
in committee today, but no action was
taken on it.

Tact INFORMED OF.
INSURGENT "SPLIT,"
AND TAKES INVOICE
Assured of Clear Field, He
Inquiries Where Progress
!. sives Stand.

Now that it is apparent that no or.
ganized effort will be made in the Re.
publican ranks to defeat the renomina-
ton Of President Taft, friends of the
President have been looking over the
situation to see just what relationship
the insurgents in Congress have main
tanned toward Mr.. Taft during the last
9 year or more.
For a time it appeared that the insur-
gents would unite to oppose the renom-
ination of the President 1t was even
said that Senator La Folletee would be
an out-an-out candidate for the nomi-
nation himself and that he would be
able to draw to his standard the forces
which are opposed to the President and
to the regular wing of the party.
Now It seems the insurgents Will
not be able to keep together in OPP
position to the President, and many
of them are already taking more In
terest in the Administration than at
one time. In fact there are only two
or three of the insurgent Senators
who keep entirely away from the
White House.
La Toilette Consistent.
Senator La Toilette has been con-
sistent. He has not called on the
President for months. He has not ap-
piled for the distribution of patronage
in his State and has left all such mat
tiers to his reactionary colleague, Sem
ator Stephenson.
Senator Cummins, on the other hand,
has been in conference with the EX-
ecutive since this Congress convened.
One Of the insurgent Senators who
seldom favors the White House with
call is Bristow of Kansas He has never
agreed fully with the President on the
distribution Of Kansas offices, and he
keeps away from the Executive.
Clapp Calls.
Ever and anon Senator Clapp Of
Minnesota looks in at the Executive
offices to present a few constituents.
Senator Nelson. who sometimes gets off
the reservation himself, VISITS the White
House regularly.
Senators Crawford of South Dakota,
Borah Of Idaho, and Dixon Of Montana,
who are frequently lined up with the
proETeSsiVeS, are frequent callers upon
the President.
Senators Poindexter of Washington
and Works of California have kept
away from the White House except on
rare occasions.
peanut" Politics.
Discussing the reported split" in the
ranks of the progressives in the Senate,
Senator Jonathan Bourne, jr., today
said:
The apparent effort on the part of
some newspapers to mislead the peo-
pie of the country by conveying the
idea that there is no protest against
MI Taft's denomination. is the most
asinine, idiotic piece of peanut politics
l have ever seen INDUCED in. l would
suggest to the newspaper editors ana
REPRESENTATIVES to PROFOUND these two
questions to the first 100 Republicans
they meet:
"First-Who will be the nominee OF
the next Republican national conVeh-
ton?
'.Second-Who will be President?
Then on the assumption that no con-
vention will ever nominate man that
the delegates in the convention oelleVe
will inevitably be defeated. see what
conclusion they come to as to who will
not be the Republican nominee

Postal Banks Now Total
Five Hundred and Fifty

Five hundred and fifty postal saw

throughout the country, according to
report issued by the Postoffice De-
partment today. All have been estab-
lished since January l. the first forty
eight being opened on January l.
In the Western States they are be-
ing received more favorably than in
the East, but this condition is at
tributed largely to the lack Of bank
ing facilities in the West. California
leads all other States with twenty
seven repositories.

A ShjnJnu Metal.

It Is legend among the peasants of Cornwall that at night one some times sees a faintly y-shining mineral among the rocks brought from the mines. That this is not pure imagina- ton has been proved by Professor Strut. A specimen of the mineral autunite, which Is also found in Wales, was sent to him from Portugal be- cause of its luminous property. He finds that 1t closely resembles arti- ficially prepared salts of uranium, and that its luminosity is due to sponta- 1t sheds is stronger than that of nj. trate of uranium. Upon parting with its water of specialization the min eral loses its luminous property.

An Honor to Allison.

Do you know" inquired Wilbur Reaser. the New York portrait painter, that when my painting of Senator Al. l!son was hung in the lobby of the sen ate, the precedent of 40 years was bro ken?"
 Surprised being expressed Mir Rea, ser explained.
 Tt is fact that since the beginning of the constitutional government the senate had bought only nine portraits for the lobby. The first was Washing. tons and the eighth was Charles Sum- ner's. For almost 40 years nobody was considered worthy to follow in the dis tinguished line.
 Tt was generally thought that no other portrait would ever be added to the group: but when Senator Allison died. after serving longer in the senate than any other man in the history Of the government. the rule was broken. and his picture became the ninth Washington Times.

SOME WALK FOR A PIGEON
Makes Trip From New York to Phil. adelpha on Foot as Result
 of Wager.

Allan A. Ryan, the president of the Aero Club of America, said at re- cent aeronauts banquet in New York:
 There's a chap in France who is getting remarkable results out of study of the flight of the large soar- ing birds. the eagle, condor and vul- ture. He James these huge creatures. They walk at his side like dogs. condor of his at the Pau aerodrome narrowly escaped being run over by an automobile last month.
 There is always something funny about walking birds. You will re- member that windy day when the blasts were so wild and strong that the crows all had to walk home. Can't you see those crows, black and grave, trudging sturdily homeward along tho wind-swept and snowy road?
 q heard the other day about a man who bet pigeon fancier that he hadn't pigeon that could make the trip from Philadelphia to New York. The pigeon fancier accepted this bet, and foolishly intrusted his best car rier pigeon to his opponent. The lat ter, though, before releasing the bird in Philadelphia, clipped its wings.
 "The next day the fancier admitted sadly that his pigeon had not yet come home.
 "'Then win said the other man.
 "'No; you must wait bit objected the fancier
 The second day the pigeon had still not returned But on the third day the fancier gayly demanded payment of the wager.
 My bird Is back he said, and in superb condition, only his feet are sore'"
