Watkins, despite his youth. has
ridden the leading high jumping
horses Of this country and England.
He ingratiated himself into the
hearts Of American horsemen by
winning the blue ribbon in the high
jumping class at FIVE of the princi-
pal foreign shows, taking the first
prize at the Dublin show twice, and
at the London show three consecu-
tive times. The boy-he can hardly
be called man yet. unless judged
by his horse" experience-at that
time owned the famous high jumper,
Dublin. and 1t was with this horse
that he captured the five blues" from
the Britishers. Watkins is in Wash
ington to make the city his home he
says, because he believes 1t is going
to be a great city for aristocratic
equines. In other words he believes
the horse game is growing in favor
In Washington. Watkins is associ-
ated with DR.. Ferneyhough, and has
under his supervision string Of
horses which have already made
their name in the local show rings
and a number OF green" equines
which will probably be heard from

Unusual Blossoms.

Mrs. Mamie G. McConville, of 14S
U street northwest, is the proud pos
SCISSOR of an unusual night-blooming
cereus, that is of interest to botan-
lists and flower lovers. This plant is
exceptional in the fact that bloom
is apt to spring forth from 1t at any
hour of the night. Botanists claim
that the plant will bloom only be-
tween the hours of 9 and II p. m. A
bloom came forth upon Mrs. Nc
Conville's plant after 6 o'clock on
the morning of October 1, and others
have appeared just as Unexpectedly.
Mrs. McConville's cereus has
twelve blooms. But few of them
have come out between the ortho-
dox hours, establishing its rarity.
Like the cereus of Mrs. Marie
Smith, Of 1918 Columbia road, this
one is attracting many visitors, who
wish to see the flower in full bloom.

The sig nature. according to McManigal. is not that of the McNamaras. but was used by other persons whom he named.
 McManigal said. in response to a telegram from Ping" he went from Cincinnati to Cleveland and there blew up a viaduct for which he re- ceived S125 paid later by Ping in Toledo. on the dynamiter's movement to Pittsburg, arrangements were made to have a supply of nitrcglycerin stored in an old shop in Rochester. Pa. also in charge of this person.
 It was because of his belief that Ping" was receiving $2OO for each job and giving him only $125 that McManigal says he refused to work with him and later arranged through J. J. McNamara to do the jobs" with the aid of J. F. McNamara. The future investigation. having tO do with the movements of men who. McManigal says. accompanied him tp various cities where open shop work was to be destroyed. received an inn petus today by the issuance of sub poenas for new witnesses.
 Following the attitude of the fed eral court. all indictments against w. J Burns and James Hosick. the Los Angeles detective. charged with the Kidnapping of J. ]. McNamara. have been dismissed by the county crim inal court.

 Allowances made by the packers for hides. fats. and other by-prO ducts were traced through different books of account by months in an ef- fort to show the amounts credited were less than the market value.
 The government contends packers by this system were enabled mater ially tD increase the test cost of beef and thereby raise prices of fresh meat to the consumer without show ing ar eXorbitant percentage of pro- fit on their books.
 The government will endeavOr to prove the packers. in figuring the cost Of fresh meat. allowed only three to six cents per pound for hides, when the market price was nine to eighteen cents a pound. and that fat was disposed of on the books for three cents per pound when the mar ket pr1Ce was six cents per pound

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.-The house rules committee today began an in vestigation into the so-called money. shipping and harvester trusts. It is probable a special committee will be named to conduct the joint investiga- ton of the trio of industrial concerns. Representative Humphrey requested the investigation of the shipping trust and read a letter from Attorney Cen eral Wickersham, stating the proposed inquiry will in no way interfere with the government spits relating to pool ing agreements. Humphrey said all passenger rates from this country to Europe are fixed on the basis of Ger man money, compelling American trav- eiers to Europe to pay four per cent more than foreigners for passage. Re ferring to discrim,nation on the Pa Cific. he said: Tt is cheaper to ship steel from Pittsburgh to Manila than from Seattle to Manila.

FRESNO, Jan. 15.-The California state building trades eleventh annual convention met here today. That it will be the most important meeting of rhe council yet held is undisputed. for the reason more subjects of vital importance to organized labor. and of interest to the country at large. will he discussed than ever before.
 TOdays session was devoted to such fOrmalities as the opening and hearing the reports of Secretary Treasurer Olaf TveitmOe. read. Tviet- moe is now under indictment at Los Angeles alleged connection with the nationwide dynamite conspiracy. In his report TveitmOe arraigned the county prosecuting officers of Los Angeles county. and declared the in- nocence of those indicted. saying there will be no pleas of guilty as the men are not guilty.
 We will not serve as stepping stones for the aspiration of Freder- icks for the governorship, Lawler for a judgeship. or Heart for president. . said the report. Early in the day it became known there was a move ment against both President r. IT. McCarty and Secretary Tveitmoe in the ranks of the insurgent members. but it is not thought it is strong enough to oust either from office this year. The election occurs Friday.
 The only startling feature of the Tveitmoe report not forecasted is the statement that United States Prose- cutor Oscar Lawler attempted in Dec ember to induce TveitmOe and other labor leaders to duplicate Samuel Gompers in the McNamara affair un- der promise of immunity from prose- cution and "Other considerations" Tveitmoe declared Lawler wanted to have them say Gompers knew in ad- vance of the trial the McNamaras were guilty.

OLD DOCTRINE
 |S IRRIGATED
Fellow Servant Rule and Doctrine of Assumed
 Risk are Destroyed.
OLD COMMON LAW
 GOES TO DISCARD
fASSociatcd Press Disbatchl

WASHINGTON. Jan 15-After nearly a years consideration the su- preme court gave unanimous approval to the employers law. enacted by con gress in 1908. to take the place of similar act declared unconstitutional. The decision marks an epoch in labor legislation. The old common law. hedg ing the rights of employees is displaced in several particulars by the statute approved today Notable among these Is the abolition of the fellow servant doctrine. anj substitution of the law making employers liable for negligence oi an employe resulting in injury to an interstate emplOye. It furthermore free employees from "contributory neg ligence" in many instances. limits the effect of the doctrine in others and likewise in many cases. liberates an employe from assuming risk when he enters employment knowing the dang cl thereof
 In the BabcOck case of Montana. the Walsh case of Massachusetts and the Hondou case of Connecticut, the law was attacked seemingly at every con- ceivable angle. Justice Van Devanter in announcing the opinion said the court had considered the objections and had rejected each. It was first decided congress has power to regulate the duties of common carriers with re- spect to the safety of their employees. while both are engaged in commerce among the states and the liability of the former for injuries sustained by the latter Objections were refuted that the law prevented contracts whereby a railroad exempted itself from liability and that the law inn properly classified carriers into inter state and interstate groups. The jus tice said:
 Now that congress has acted. the law of the states, in so far as they cover the same field, are suspended"

II LOOKS FINE
 SAYS THE SUPT.
Neil McMillan in Charge of Work on the Kelvin Sultana is Greatly Pleas ed with the Result of Development Work.

Neil McMillan. superintendent of the Kelvin -Sultana mine where a fine body off ore was recently crosscut on the 200 foot level. was in Phoenix last night. en route home from Bouse where he went to look at some ma chinery and equipment he thought might be desirable for use at the Kelvin Sultana.
 Mir. McMilln says the ore body crosscut measures 16 feet and is all that was expected of it and more. It carries $4 gold values and good percentage of copper but the copper values at that depth are largely leached The driving of the crosscut continues with two shifts daily as there are several veins ahead. ac- cording to all surface indications and better ones than the one already en- countered.
 As soon as it can be done sinking in the shaft will continue until the 500 foot level is reached and there is no doubt in MT. McMillan's mind but that at that depth a crosscut will expose ore bodies second to none in the country, in both size and values
