]. D. POSTS SIMPLE
ORATORY CONTRASTS
WITH PREDECESSOR
Stenographers In the House
Breathe Easy Since Ohioan
Deposed Col. Keifer.

The official stenographers Of the
House have almost forgotten the once
oft-used symbol for the words, the
Constitution Of the United States"
Representative James D. Post of the
Seventh Ohio district is indirectly
responsible.
Time was when the official reporters
had to hump" themselves in writ
ing about the Constitution so they
finally perfected a little word sign
for the entire phrase. That was when
known as The General" was in the
House. General Keifer seldom made
a speech that he did not refer to the
grand old document at least two
score times.
Then along came Mr.. Post, a COM
parative youngster beside the general
Mr.. Post believes in the Constitution,
but he doesn't talk about 1t as much
as General Keifer did. Perhaps that is
why Mr.. Post made the bigger hit with
the voters of the Seventh Ohio, for
voters these days are thinking more
about the cost of living and the Payne
bill than the imperishable fame of the
Constitution.
Mr.. Post is a Democrat, while General
Keifer was a "standpat" Republican.
and this also accounted for the fact
that Representative Post received some
5000 more votes than the general The
new Ohio member never sought political
hOnOrs until he awoke one morning and
decided to run for Congress. Before
that time he had been content to he a
successful lawyer, and he became this
by teaching school in the daytime and
reading law at night.
General Keifer has been il and out
of Congress several times und he may
oppose Mr. Post next year. but the lat
ter is said to have his political fences
in good repair.

Despite the active and varied life he

AS captain in the First Kansas Bri-

war career, and when the war ended
he was mustered out with the rank of

HUGE DEVIL FISH
CHASES BATHERS
OUT OF A CANAL
Resorts Are Quickly Desert
ed After Sea Monsters
Appearance.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7-Some bathers
In the Morris canal were driven to the
bank by a cry OF Devil fish, raised
by one Of the men, who declares he
saw the monster following him with its
head out OF the water. He says he
clambered up the bank Just in time to
escape 1t. The fish then turned and
went down stream.
Albert Woodrow, of Brookdale, N. j.,
who had a good view OF the monster
as 1t passed. says It was at least ten
feet long. with a round greenish body
and a head as large as that of bull
dog.
IF it was a water SNAKE" he de-
clared. ''it was the biggest ever 1 saw,
and I have seen hundreds Of them"
Several men followed the fish, down
the canal for a short distance, but IL
went so fast that they soon lost sight
of 1t. Word was sent to the lock ten
der at the Bloomfield plant TO keep a
lookout, but 1t never reached that point,
or II it did, went over the falls un-
noticed.
When word was sent to Bloomfield,
the bathing resorts on the canal were
quickly deserted.

CABIN JOHN HOTEL
ALSO To FEEL BAN
IN BLUE LAW FIGHT
Glen Echo Constable To Act
Against Hostelry For
Operating Sunday.

Convinced that Glen Echo Park is
being Disseminated against in the bat
tie for strict enforcement of the Sun
day closing law, Consta BILE Walter Shaw
went to Rockville this morning to swear
out informa ton against the manage
ment of Cabin John Hotel for Operat-
ing on Sunday. Before leaving, he eX-
planned that Deputy Sheriff Cissel yes
terday forced the closing OF the res
taurant at Glen Echo Park upon threat
of arrest Notwithstanding this, SO
Shaw claims, the Cabin John Hotel
only a short distance away, was per-
mitted to operate last Sunday, the same
as a week ago
After Mr.. Cissel had ordered the res
taurant at the park closed l took him
with me to Cabin john" said Shaw
this morning. "All the walters were
standing around there, but while we
were there one of them came in with a
check and a bill. l had three other peo-
pie there to buy goods, so l have posi-
tive proof the hotel operated on Sun
day. But the deputy sheriff could see
no law violation there"
Warning Is Needed
Mr.. Shaw asserts that when he ar
rived at Cabin John everything was
being run, as usual, that is, teams were
being checked for a consideration and
cabbies were hauling people from Cabin
John TO Great Falls. They decided his
warning, however, and gave up their
work.

Glen Echo Park today. From the sack

Schloss Hoppin' Mad.
When Sheriff Cissel appeared on the
grounds it was reported that he intend

diers' Home Band for working on Sum-
day And the things Manager Schloss
said-well, they were not strictly in con-
formity with the Sunday school text
He was hoppin' mad because the res
tauraunt had been closed.
Shaw sald this morning that he had
an automobile waiting at the gate Of
Glen Echo park and that if the Sol
diers' Home Band had been arrested
he would have made a dash across the
country for Chevy Chase Lake to ar
rest the Marine Band playing there.
Apparently sacred music and religious
sermons are not as attractive to Wash
