ADMIRAL STOCKTON
SCORES CONGRESS
Says Stinginess Is RESPONSE
bic for Plight of George
Washington University.

That George Washington University Is
in need because of the niggardliness of
Congress and that army and navy Of
tcers are unable properly to educate
their children and maintain their fam
lilies because of this fact, were asser-
tions made by Rear Admiral Charles II.
Stockton al a banquet of Lambda Chap
ter of Phi Sigma Kappa at the Shore
ham. He said Congress is responsible
for the existence of George Washington
University, yet has been SO neglectful
and niggardly in making financial pro-
vision for il that at times the life of the
institution has been threatened. Ad-
miral Stockton mentioned Johns Hop
kIns University in Baltimore, aided by
the State of Maryland, and the Univer-
sity of Virginia, helped by Virginia, as
examples of what George Washington
University would be If properly sup
ported by Congress, that created 1t.
"Will Succeed Yet"
Admiral Stockton predicted ultimate
success and prosperity for George
Washington University. He said that
the teachers college and the arts and
science department are the only depart
ments that show actual annual financial
deficit The law school, medical, dental
and pharmacy colleges are either show
ing a balance of profit or are self-sup-
porting, at least.
That George Washington is entitled to
adequate help from Congress was as
serted by Admiral Stockton on the fur
ther ground that in this institution most
of the students are self-supporting,
while in other universities aided by the
public most students are supported by
parents or relatives.

QUESTIONS FROM
PEN WOMEN'S LEADER
Acting President of District FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs Sees
Sexes Equalized.

Mrs. ". f. Andrews. who as first
vice president of the District Federation
of Women's Clubs, is now filling the
office of president, left vacant by the
death of the late Mrs. Charles VI. Pep
per, declares that the sexes are more
nearly equalized than Prof. Nearing
dreams.
And that is the way the Creator
meant II TO be, il seems to me- she
said, discussing the unique views ad-
vanced by Prof. Nearing. Man cannot
play the role of the burden bearer, and
share the burdens, and they have shared
them more or less equally sirce primi-
tive days. It's man and wife, father
and mother, brother and sister. Both
sexes stand together. Prof. Nearings
statement is a strange one, at best, for
a man in this enlightened day TO hurl
at the womanhOOd of this country"
She Asks Some
Pertinent Questions.
Mrs. Edith Kingman Kern, OF the
League of American Pen Women, asks:
who is II. I wonder. that sews on
Prof. hearings buttons? Who do you
suppose makes his toast andl coffee in
the morning? Who reared and trained
him? Who listens to his speeches?
What would have become of him if ma
ture had found a way TO do without
women? l really think he would have
Jared hard. If the professor clings to
the Illusion that women really do not fill
any place in the world, | fear he will
be shuffied off the earth in the rush Of
progress. Can he walk a half mile in
any city in America without passing
at least fifty homes which the mothers
keep UP only by working for from
twelve to sixteen hours a day?
would be willing to wager that
Prof. Nearing hasn't a wife. He GER
talnIy does not deserve one. But to be
as charitable as We can, the man sim
ply does not know what he is talking
about"
Miss Ellen Vinton. well known club
woman, and active in public work in
Washington, gave It as her opinion that
a woman always shares half the bur-
den, If not more.
IF Prof. Nearing doesn't believe il, let
him try an experiment. Suppose he
adopts from three to five children for
rev months, takes big house, and at
tempts TO care for the home, to train the
children, to manage the servants-aII on
the moderate income, and often the linn
tied physical strength, of the average
woman
He speaks Of the middle and wealth.
Ter classes as parasites. When the
woman in average circumstances Of life
manages to exist as a parasite, in spite
OF her home cares, or. il NAV he. her
work. she makes a really unique achieye-
ment OF course, among the class known
as society women there are really some
parasites But the remedy for this Is to
brlnS these women TO make themselves
socially useful. And their percentage Is
so small that | do not see how Prof.
Nearing could have meant his remarks
for them. To say the least, he has been
certainly ungracious to our sex"
Do your ears burn, Prof. Nearing?

FLIGHT OF CAPITAL
BELLESTIRS SOCIETY
Others In Younger Set Eager
to Enjoy Trip In
Aeroplane.

That narrow and exclusive circle
Of Washington women who have
made flights in aeroplanes has opeued
to admit one new recruit today, and
Will probably receive another acuuf-
sition tomorrow. Miss Gladys Hinck-
ley has qualified for membership in
the circle, and Miss Ruth Wynne an
ticipates making a flight tomorrow.
Miss Hinckley circled Potomac Park
several times late yesterday after
noon at a height of so feet in a ma
chine guided by Aviator Antony
Janus. AS the aeroplane touched
earth, after the flight, Miss HfnckIev.
one of Washington's society leaders
enthusiastically declared herself an
enthusiast for aerial navigation. She
said the whole experience was a de-
light and that her only regret was
that she could not have gone higher
and remained in the air longer.
Would Emulate Birds.
Grand" glorious and bully"
were some Of the adjectives that
Miss Hinckley used in describing her
experiences and feelings during the
voyage. Il was not a bit frightened
wnen 1 saw the earth dropping
away" she said. But the trip makes
me envy the birds who are able to
ny high and far. I'd dearly love to
take a long flight, to Baltimore or
somewhere else. Just as soon as the
aeroplanes are perfected 1 shall GER
tainly adopt the sport. 1t is most
delightful. If women in Washington
only knew how grand it is to make
a flight aviation would become the
most popular sport in the Capital
hope 1 can make many more flights
and become experienced and expert
in the sport"
Today Miss Hinckley's zeal for the
sport and delight over her flight are
not a whit abated. Her daring ven-
ture has made her one of the most
talked of and highly praised women
in society today. The success of her
experience has made many other So
ciety bellies eager to make trials and
there is a prospect that Mr.. Janus
will receive many applications for
flights from the bellies of the Capital.
Miss Wynne's Turn Tomorrow.
Miss Ruth Wynne, daughter of
former Postmaster General Robert J.
Wynne, and leader in society here,
is hopeful of making a flight tomor-
row. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth,
Miss Hinckley, and Miss Wynne are
among the Washington women who
are leading the movement to form
a women's aero club in Washington.
They are rapidly enlisting the inter-
est of many of the prominent women.

Maine Survivors Cease
Efforts for Monument

Because the public has not responded
of its own accord to the movement for
a monument to the battleship Maine
victims, and because Rear Admiral
Sigsbee and the other survivors feel the
improperly of their attempting to force
the cause, the Maine Monument Society
has practically disbanded.
Rear Admiral Sigsbee explained the
situation to other members of the so
ciety at meeting in Eagles Hall last
evening. His feeling about begging for
funds for a monument in which he was
personally concerned was respected by
the other members, and all agreed that
If an aggressive campaign must be in
stituted, it should be by some organiza-
ton not composed of survivors.
Commander d. V. Chisholm, of the
United Spanish War Veterans for the
District, gave assurances that he would
make every effort to have that national
organization take up the movement for
the monument.

One Compares Him
To a SchOolboY.

Like a schOolbOy, a perfect child in
intellect, is any man who stands for
such views on woman" So there, Prof.
Nearing Is what you get from Mrs
Helen Rand Tindail. of Washington, for
your heathcnish and outlandish words
about us. Mrs. Tindall is one of the
best known and most beloved women in
the Capital, so that what she thinks
about a man counts for or against him.
She Is member, for the District of
Columbia, OF the executive board Of
the National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, and one of the pioneer workers
for the cause of woman suffrage here
in Washington.
1T Is difficult to imagine" she said
today, "how any man could advance an
idea so utterly hcniehted and deformed
as that advanced by Pref. Nearing.
Why, he, who runs may read what a su-
perb contribution woman is making to
twentieth century civilization. How Is
II that a man of learning has failed to
inform himself on a subject about which
so much information is available?

A few days ago we had a popular dis
cussion as to the advisability of estab-
fishing a whipping post for wife beat
ers. In court yesterday We had two
cases of a father and a grandmother
beating small children numerically. If
the whipping-post is advisable for the
protection of women who have made
their own choice and should abide by it,
or have legal opportunity for release,
surely for the safeguarding Of a child
who has not had chance to select rel
atives. and Is powerless to protect it.

punishment would be justitiable.
One of the most beautiful and most
useful Of the improvements which have
made building activities in Washington
notable during the past year is the
Southern building, at Fifteenth and II
streets northwest. AS this big structure
nears completion and is cleared of its
shell of scaffolding, the public for the
first time is able to form a comprehen-
sive estimate of its character. 1t is
certainly an edifice of which any city
could be proud. The building typiies
the progress of the new South, and
stands as an evidence of the South's
interest in the National Capital
1t isn't very often that a bridegroom
has much attention paid TO the gar
ments in which he approaches the cere-
mOnial altar, but Count Pourtales,
whose marriage with Countess Bernstein
takes place tomorrow, can scarcely fail
to attract attention when he appears
arrayed in the dress uniform of his
regiment. This consists of a dark green
velvet coat, much braided in black, with
picturesque collar and cuffs of black
velvet; black trousers, and helmet, with
the heavy black plumes rising and then
falling over the gold eagle of the IA
therland. Six of the eight groomsmen
and ushers will likewise appear in full

Old Harqua Hala to ,
 Produce Half Million
(From Wednesdays Examiner)

(From Wednesdays Examiner) o. F. Townsend, U G. Wilder and the crowd from the north end. just re turned, bring the welcome news that the old Harqua Hala mine in northern Yuma county is to be made to prot duce about $5OO,OO0 in addition to the millions already produced.
 Johnny Martin, well known all over Yuma county, and at one time mem Der of the legislature from Yuma county, together with a group of asso ciates, have taken over the Harqua Hala property and will work over the tailings of the old mine. .,.8,C
 In the first place the ore from the old mine was very rich, but it was worked over by the old cyanide pro cess, and the average loss in the tail ings was aabout $400 to s5. % per ton while many hundreds of tons of the, tailings ran much more than, this in loss. r
 Mr. Martin, and his associates are now installing ten of the latest cyanide tanks of the most approved method and within a few weeks will be ready to start to work over about 100000 tons of tailings.
 The mine itself viii not be touched and MT. Townsend says that the clean up for the parties interested should be in the neighborhood of $500,000.
