Ia TOILETTE AND
UNDERWOOD WILL
SPLIT BIG STAKE
Wool Bill and Political Glory
in Jackpot They Are
Fighting For.

. They are playing one of the biggest
and most exciting games of poker at
the Capitol these days that anybody
has sat in around Washington re-
Gently.
OF course, it may be perfectly unin-
telligible to the average American
citizen to allude to it in this fashion.
but some there are who will under
stand. The wool bill which was pass
ed by the Senate the other day and
the House bill which the Democrats
put through the House some weeks
ago, are in the jackpot. Also in the
Jackpot is a big COB of Presidential
politics and some other varieties of
politics. 1t would be mighty inter-
esting to know just what is going
to be drawn down by the winners of
the jackpot before mentioned.
La Toilette and Underwood.
While a lot of players are indulging
In the game, and there are no end OF
spectators who are trying to get
glimpses Of the hands, everybody has
thrown down cards at this particular
writing but Senator La Toilette, of
Wisconsin, and Representative I'm
derwood Of Alabama. They are wrest-
ling for the contents of the pot.
Some poker sharps who are trying
to figure out what will happen, sus-
pect there is a lot of bluffing going
on. Leader Underwood is telling all
the onlookers that he'll never lay
Gown and is feeding in chips that
bear this inscription:
"House bill or nothing"
Certain of the spectators take the

as a matter of fact he is sitting up
behind something that would be a
full house If it hadn't been for GER
tain miscalculations in the draw. AS
a matter of fact they opine, it is not
OF larger denomination than two pair
AS to Senator La Toilette, who is in
timattng that so far as he is concern
ed 1t is case of lose all or win what
what he wants, namely the Senate
wool bill, there is strong suspicion
that he is sitting up under the shadow
of a busted flush" which he is pro-
ceeding to play like four aces.
To Divide the Pot.
AS already indicated. 1t is one of
the stiffest games that has recently
been seen around these parts. And In
view of the suspicious of the onlook-
er that both players are "histing''
the bets on suppositious hands, the
impression is strong that the pot will
be divided. In other words. 1t looks
as If there would be a compromise,
wherein Underwood and La Toilette
will split about even on the wool bill
business and on the political glory.
More or less talk is heard about
the game breaking up in a row in
which some outsider will grab the
stakes, and the players will get
nothing but the worst of 1t. But thus
far, there's little sign of IT. Every
body's soctable like and nobody wears
his gun.

Two More Presidential
Trips Are Announced

Two more Presidential trips were an
nounced at the White House. On Sun
day, August +, the President will leave
Washington for Mountain Lake Park.
Md, to deliver an address before the
chatauqua at that place on August L.
He will return to Washington, arriving
here on the same day.
It also was announced that on August
Is the President will go to Ocean Grove,
N j., to deliver a speech before the
Methodist camp meeting at the Jersey
resort.
The acceptance of the latter invita-
ton indicates that the President expects
to be in Washington until August 20, at
any rate. This Is true, for the reason
that he would hardly break into his va
cation at Beverly to attend the camp
meeting.

PLANNING APPEAL.
FOR STRAUS PLANT
Governments Acceptance of Pasteurization Labora-
tory That 1t May Be Used for Experiments.

Appeal will be made to Congress to
make provisions for the taking over Of
the Straus milk laboratory's pasteur-
izing plant, SO that Investigations into
the relative values Of raw and pasteur-
ized milk as food, especially as food for
infants, may be made by the Govern
ment
Those who have been prominent In the
advocacy OF the Government trvestiga-
tIons do not yet despair. despite the
fact that both the Treasury and the
Agricultural Departments have an
nounced that they cannot accept the
plant from Nathan Straus, WHO wished
to donate It, first to the District Of
Columbia, and then to the Federal
Government.
No word has been received from Mr..
Straus. It is believed that he will be
greatly disappointed. No one had
doubted that the Public Health and Ma
rlne Hospital Service would take over
the plant. When that bureau could
not legally, 1t was announced, assume
the work Of investigation, It was hoped
the Bureau Of Animal Industry, In the
Agricultural Department, could take up
the matter. Denial there brought the
advocates Of the Government investiga-
tions face to face with the fact that
they must appeal for special legislation.
DR.. G. Lloyd Magruder, Emile Ber-
liner, and others interested, will prepare
plans this week for placing the case
before Congress. DR.. Magruder said
today:
The splendid results from the use Of
pasteurized milk are shown in many
reports. The infant mortality rate in
hospitals is IS per cent, and the high
percentage Of deaths Is due in great
measure to poor milk.
The hospitals OF the country have
done very little in the way Of pasteur-

That the Yakima valley is not 81:

not half the advantages to recon-
mend them that the Yakima valley
has, and yes these districts were get
ting the first chance at intended west

have gone in Il steady tide to those
sections this year
MY attention was called to the
matter on more than one occasion.
You might think that | am uni 'ly
interested in the matter owing 20 ;he
fact that my business is dealing in
real estate. but the fact is that many
people l met who knew ! was from
this section, called my attention TO
the fact of the lack of steady, consis-
tent advertising OF the Yakima coun-
try. None of the ticket Offices in the
east were supplied with an ounce of
literature descriptive of the Yakima
section.
1T seems to me that there should
be some organized effort toward sup
plying those points in the east that
are in constant touch with tha tide of
western emigration, with material
concerning the Yakima valley, aspeci-
ally in view of the fact that So many
Of the other sections are taking ad-
