IMPORTANT DISTRICT
MEASURES BLOCKED.
Minor Local Bills Passed by
the Senate.

Three important bills relating to Dis
consent in the Senate yesterday, although
a number Of less important bills were
passed. The Sunday rest" and loan
shark bills, the consideration OF which
by the Senate has been anticipated with
interest, were refused consideration by
Senators Hepburn and Pomerene, re-
spectively.
The opposition of Senator Hepburn to
the Sunday rest" bill was expected. but
Mr.. Pomerene's objection to the loan
shark measure was not anticipated IT
is understood the Ohioan is preparing a
number OF amendments, with a view to
perfecting the measure.
Another objection that prevented con-
sideration of an important measure was
one by Senator Shively, of Indiana, to
the bill vesting the powers OF censorship
in the Commissioners with regard to all
pictures or moving picture films intended
for exhibition. Mr.. Shively advanced no
reasons for his objection.
The following measures were agreed to
and passed:
A bill directing the Secretary of War
to convey the outstanding legal title of
the United States to sublots 81 90,
and 80 OF original lot in square so Of
the city of Washington to William II.
Rapley and the estate OF the late w. w.
Rapley.
A bill amending the harbor regulations
relating to the dumping Of material and
rubbish into the waters OF the Potomac
so as to include stone, gravel, and sand.
A bill to provide for the punishment for
larceny Of public property from the work
house and reformatory OF the District OF
Columbia
A bill authorizing certain changes in
the highway plan for that portion of the
District lying west of Fourteenth street,

<. OF P. OFFICERS
TO SHOW CAUSE
Question of Assessments Be-
fore Justice Gould.

Justicce Gould yesterday directed that
the Supreme Lodge knights OF Pythias
and its officers must answer the rule IS
sued against them on February 16 last, to
show cause why a receiver should not be
appointed for the association and why
the officers should not be enjoined from
caneelling certificate held by John II.
Turpin, because Of his refusal to pay the
increased rates assessed by the order. The
defendants claimed that asSthe Federal
court in Indiana had under consideration
similar proceeding involving the same
issues, the Supreme Court Of the District
should defer assuming jurisdiction until
the Indiana court has acted.
Justice Gould intimated he doubted the
Jurisdiction OF the Indiana courts, as the
lodge was chartered by Congress. The
resident policy holder, said the court,
should not be precluded Of his right TO
have the matter adjudicated here be-
cause the Indiana court had assumed
jurisdiction Justice Gould pointed out
that the District Court Of Appeals had
decided that such corporations are amen
able to the courts OF this Jurisdiction
Ten days are, given the national Of
ficers of the lodge TO answer the rule.
The courts decision Will affect between
1.500 and 1000 members In this city.
The bill of complaint alleges misman-
agement and q diversion OF the funds be-
longing to policy holders of the fourth
class to the use of members OF the fifth
class. Turpip claims his assessments had
been increased from 81 a month to Sf7
every thirty days. which amount he con-
tinues paying under protest, pending a
- ltn usrff Of ha
fourth-class fund Is also alleged.

SYNDICATE MAY
BUY PLAYGROUND
Commissioners Disapprove
Making Purchase.

According to developments yesterday,
It is likely the syndicate organized to
purchase a playground In Mount Pleasant,
should Congress fail to do so, will have
ample opportunity to fulfill its purpose.
There is but a small chance that Con-
gress will step into the breach and make
the purchase a part OF the District
budget, since the District Commissioners
yesterday sent in an adverse report TO
the Senate on one proposed site, and by
implication carried the same opposition
to the other proposed sites.
The syndicate Is composed of a few
public-spirited men, who are determined
Mount Pleasant shall have a playground,
regardless OF Congressional delay, and
1t is stated that the money for the pur-
chase is now practically raised. Even
should Congress refuse to follow the re-
port Of the Commissioners, 1t is unlikely
1t will be philanthropic enough to take
the self-aSsumed burden from the shoul-
ders of the so-caIled Syndicate"
The present playground. at Fourteenth
street and Columbia road, is used by
courtesy Of its trustees, Richard z. Pairo
and Herbert A. GILL; who donate 1t rent
free. It can be purchased for between
S43.O 900 and $4,000, 1t is said. A second
intersection of Thirteenth street and
Columbia road. which can be purchased
at 81 a square foot, or $4,000. Lleber-
mann e. Hawn are the agents.
A third site being considered is govern
ment land in Meridian Hill. but It is not
believed the Washington Playground AS
sociation nor the syndicate organized to
purchase a lot, is favorably disposed
toward it on account of lack Of shade
trees and other objections.
In the adverse report on the bin to
purchase a Mount Pleasant playground
at the intersection OF Fourteenth street
and Columbia road, sent to the Senate,
the Commissioners state they do not
think more than $25,000 should be ex-
pended for the purchase OF a play
ground, that a more important matter
at the present time is the purchase of
the Klingle estate for park purposes.
They point out that the proposed site
for the playground is within two blocks
of the proposed new entrance of Rock
Creek Park and only six blocks away
is the future Meridian Hill Park, upon
either of which a suitable playground
might be established at a little extra
cost.
The commissioners recommend that
If the purchase of a Mount Pleasant
at the present time will not
hamper the park projects, which they
deem more important, the acquisition
of a site not more than FIVE blocks
distant from Fourteenth street and Co.
lumbia road, to contain 10000 square
feet, more or less, and not to exceed in
cost, including the condemnation pro-
ceedings, more than $4,000.

The Senate will probably be called on

PLAY TO THE GALLERIES"
Senator Hepburn So Characterized
Campaign Publicity Measure


The Senate, by a vote of forty-one to
eleven, yesterday proceeded to the con-
sideration of the bill requiring publ.
city of campaign contributions and ex-
penditures. Senator Culberson made the
motion to take up the measure. The in
surgent Republicans voted with the
Democrats in favor the motion. The
votes against the motion we're all cast
by regular Republicans.
The publicity covers primary elections
as we'll as general elections, involving
the choice OF Representatives in Congress
and legislatures at which Senators are
to be chosen. Candidates as well as
committee treasurers must disclose re-
ceipts and expenditures.
Senator Hepburn made a characteristic
attack on the publicity bill.
Il am getting tired" he said. "of these
plays to the galleries. This bill is a
stigma of criminality on Congress. 1t
is born of the undertaking spirit"
The bill was debated for two hours.
Senator Bacon and Senator Kern de-
Tended the right of the Federal govern
ment TO require the publicity Of receipts
and expenditures in primary elections.
The bill went over without action, at
the request of Senator Dillingham;.

TRUSTS ARE A BLESSING"
Young Havemeyer So Informs In

Young Havemeyer So Informs In
| vestigatOrs of the Sugar Trust.
Some folks may think that the late
Henry o. Havemeyer, father of the
sugar trust, was a financial pirate, work
| ing for his own pocket all the time, but,
according to Horace Havemeyer. his only
son, who appeared yesterday before the
Hardwick special committee investigating
the American Sugar Refining Company,
he was both great and good, a philan-
| thropist who considered the rights of
every one else before he thought of him
self.
Young Mr.. Havemeyer made a favor
able impression upon the committee, and
the incest sort of things were said about
him, both during and after the session.
The young mamie is only twenty-five
now, and has been connected with the
sugar refining industry since his seven
| teenth year-did not contribute any start
ling information concerning the sugar
trust, but some Of his comments on pres
ent-day methods of business were -egard-
ed by the committee as refreshing.
Representative Sulzer, OF New York,
asked young Havemeyer If, in the event
OF active competition between the Ameri-
can Sugar Refining Company and the
National Sugar Refining Company, of
which he hopes to secure control, the
price of sugar to the consumer would be
reduced.
Temporarily. perhaps" the young man
replied, but the price is liable to react
when somebody is busted
Then" suggested Mr.. Sulzer, you be-

promptly replied. Commercial success
