no white man was ever whipped twice.
He had learned his lesson.
IF it be admitted that a criminal
act has been done from a criminal mo-
tive, it follows logically that for this
violation of its law the state must ex-
act a penalty. A divine law may have
been violated also. If so, there will nat
urally result to all but the hardened
offender, a certain punishment in the
mind, in the shape of remorse But the
state cannot accept remorse as expia-

STREET REPAIRING HALTED.
District Engineers Handicapped BY
Lack of Funds.

Work Of repairing and resurfacing Dis
trict streets Is at standstill. The en-
gineer department Of the District is with
out funds for conducting the work and
will be until Congress passes the District
bill.
Every year, in their estimates, the Com
missioners insert an item for street resur-
ia cling and repairs to be made immed ate
ly available. In the bill now beng con-
sidered in conference an item Of $50, 600
is carried to become Immediately avail
able. The engineer department is anxious
to begin the resurfacing of a number of
streets, and had expected to have the
S60OO0 available before this.
Each day OF delay in the passage of the
bill is throwing the department that
much behind in the carrying out of its
schedule. The only funds now avail
able. it Ii stated, are being used for
holes In streets. The depart
ment had expected to have the resurfac-
ing work fairy under way by the begin
ning of the next fiscal year. July 1, but It
is now a question as to whether the ap-
preparation will be available much before
that time.

BOHAH STARTS ATTACK
ON AGRICULTURAL BILL
Opposes Compromise on Seq
regation of Lands in the
Forest Reserves.

The expected fight on the conference re-
port on the agricultural appropriation bill
opened today when the report was pre-
scented to the Senate. It was started by
Senator B0rah. who attacked the COM
promise provision relating to the segrega-
ton and settlement of agricultural lands
in forest reserves.
The Senate provided for the unqualified
segregation Of these lands. but the con-
ference committee made the reservation
OF lands needed for public purposes
Sees No Relief in Provision.
Mr.. Borah contended that as thus modi-
fed the provision would afford no relief.
as In effect it would not csange the
present law. There isn't foot Of land
in these reserves that the forestry serv-
ice people do not consider as devoted to
the public use.'' he said. He contended
that the agricultural lands should not be
tied up and that the settlement of the
states should not be left to the mercy
OF the Department Of Agriculture.
Senator Warren said that the failure
to get better terms was due to the OBJ
jections OF the House conferees. He
thought the provision an advance and
urged its retention.

DEAL INVOLVES MILLIONS
Stores May Be Built on Con-
necticut Avenue Property
of Convent.

plates the transfer Of the large property

on Connecticut avenue between De Sales
and NJ streets northwest to Harry Ward
man is under way. II the deal is con-
summated Mr. Wardman will tear down
the old convent, which has been a land
mark In Washington for years, and prob
ably will erect on the Connecticut avenue
front Of the property number of hand
some stores. Mr.. Wardman said today
that he had been at work on the deal
for some time.
A number of propositions for the pur-
chase of the convent property have been
made in recent years, among them a
proposition for the erection of splendid
hotel But none of these dea.s materla.-
ICED. The RAPID advance Of business along
Connecticut avenue has convinced Mr..
Wardman, 1t is said. that the erection of
q number of stores on the convent prop
erty would be q good investment.
The group of apartment houses on the
south side of r street between 14th and
18th streets northwest, recently built by
Harry Wardman, are to be transferred,
it is understood, to a nonresident of the

NO JUNE HALF HOLIDAYS.
President, After Conference
With Cabinet, Decides
Against Innovation.

No Saturday half holidays in June for
government clerks.
This is the announcement from the
White House this afternoon.
After a conference with members of
the cabinet, President Taft today de-
cided against the Saturday half holi-
day in June, and stated that the half
holidays will begin in July. as usual,
continuing through July, August and
September.
1t was hoped an executive order
would be issued this afternoon author
izing half holidays to begin tomorrow

Presidents cabinet favored the early
beginning of the half holidays, but
others opposed the change. The lat
ter. it appears, presented the more con-
vincing arguments.
