MT. RAINIER MEN
ARE STILL PEEVED
Expect More Resolutions To Save
Towns Repute At Mass
Meeting.

Another mass meeting will be held in
Mt. Rainier tonight to take further
steps to save the reputation of the
town. Last Monday night a meeting
was held at which resolutions were di-
rected to be drawn against those who,
1t Is alleged, have caused to be pub
lished misrepresentation Of the town.
Since then a charge of criminal con-
spiracy has been filed against the active
members OF the meeting. Such unex-
pected results have given Mt. Rainier
meetings an unsuspected relish, and the
meeting tonight will be largely attended,
1t Is expected that the resolutions or
dered drawn week ago will be pre-
sented tonight.
The suit for criminal conspiracy was
h!ed by Robert z. Joyce, former mayor
OF Mt. Rainier Albert D. Rust. ir..
who. with Amos w. Hawk, Charles e.
Jones. Charles ]. Peckham. and Finley
Hayes. was made defendant by joyce.
says that while Joyces name was men,
toned IN the meeting 1T was not in
tended that his name should appear in
the resolutions, and that a special COM
mittee was not named to present a
special set of resolutions to Joyce.
Joyce, however, heard last week that
these resolutions were to be presented,
and he made 1t his personal business to
make call on each member of the
committee and assure him of a red-hot
greeting.

BUMPER CORN CROP
PROMISES TO DROP
HIGH BEEF PRICES
Secretary Wilson Declares
Cost of Living Will Be
Reduced.

That bees will be cheaper than for a
number of years and the high cost Of
living will be generally reduced is the
declaration of Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson. based on the prospective record
harvests Of grain in the United States
this year. BY predicting a drop in the
price OF beef, \Secretsry Wilson states
that he does Not mean the meat will
be as cheap as It was a decade ago.
He declares that in his opinion Il will
never reach that level.
The third greatest corn crop in the
history of the United States will be
harvested in the fall, while records in
other grain crops will 60 by the board.
the Secretary predicts. These record
crops, brought about by the moderate
climate experienced during the summer
months, the Secretary declares, cannot
help but bring down the price of many
articles that grace the tables of Ameri-
cans.
Secretary's Explanation.
In explanation of his bright nred,c-
tons Secretary Wilson SAYS:
Beef will be cheaper next winter
than it has been for a number or wears.
Inc nigh cost of beef through last
winter and at the present time was due
70 the small corn crop of last year.
Inc best beef Is fed on corn, but with
corn SO scarce that the product scared
10 price Of 20 cents a bushel, many
catie raisers did not feel that they
n,,rn uuiu Ieed their cattle for slaughtering
oacK: The result was that little good
auanty beef entered Chicago, making
prices automatically higher.
ms year the corn crop will reach
ht,ol lala L.
third largest In the history of the coun-
try. This will lower the price of beef
an appreciable degree, and will be aided
by the splendid hay and oats crops
which will be harvested.
Not To Reach Lowest Record.
OF course, the price of beef will
never be as low as It was at one time.
This is due to the fact that the broad
grazing lands have been split vto
homesteads. and the space is not avail
able for the grazing OF a sufficient
number Of cattle to meet the demand.
The oats crop is expected to be the
largest which we have ever harvested,
while the hay crop will be tremendous
IN fact. every product will be harvest
ed in great quantities, with the excep-
tion of cotton, which will fall slightly
below the average. The wheat crop
will total about $50 0oo, 900 bushels. and
grass, potatoes, and the smaller grains
will be harvested in abundance.
The good peach crop which is being
gathered throughout the peach districts
Is taken as an indication that all fruit
will be In large quantities this year.
Apples. as they appear at the present
weather conditions may change this
Altogether the outlook is so promising
as to indicate reduction in the cost
Of living next winter"

MISS MARGARET BARRY.

Without a relative or friend in the
city, and almost without acquaintance.
Miss Margaret Barry, seventy years old.
died yesterday in Georgetown University
Hospital. Funeral services will be held
for her tomorrow at o'clock at st.
Peters Church, and she will be buried
In Mt Olivet Cemetery.
A native of Ireland, she came to this
country when still in her teens, and
purchased little house at 1105 c street
northeast. She at once went into a life
of seclusion, and 1t Is said that until her
last illness she never left the little
home except to attend services at St.
Peters Church. She went there regu-
larly. but never mingled with the con-
gregation.
She became i'll four months ago, and
was taken to the hospital, where for the
first time in her life, perhaps, other
persons than herself administered to her
needs.

TRAVEL PICTURES
At COLUMBIA ARE
Of HIGH INTEREST
Burial of Battleship Maine
an Impressive Feature of .
Howe's Exhibit.

After an absence Of several months
Lyman II. Howe made his initial bow
of this season with his travel festival
at the Columbia Theater last night be-
fore one of the largest audiences
which ever witnessed a motion picture
exhibition in Washington. There was
scarcely a vacant seat In the entire
theater when the lights went out for
the first time, showing that the fes-
tivals which took such a strong hold
on Washington the last season and
the preceding ones are still popular.
Interspersed with views of far-away
countries and principalities but little
known and scarcely ever photo
graphed, last nights exhibition con-
tained numerous comedy sketches of
UNUSUAL merit, as well as a series of
nature studies interesting in the ex-
treme.
Burial of Maine.
The burial of the battleship Maine,
with the accompanying dramatic cere-
monies, was one of the star" views
of the exhibition. An entirely new an
gle of this historic event Is portrayed
by Mr.. Howe, and the pianist, entering
into the spirit of the occasion, made
the pictures in question all the more
impressive.
Paris, the Mecca Of pleasure seek
ers," was visited during the travel
festival. Monte Carlo and the excit-
ing races held there recently between
the s00-horsepower motorboat and the
hydro.aeroplane were shown for the
first time.
Animal Studies Popular.
The annual studies of the festival
proved to be the most popular views
Of the exhibition. A series of photo
graphs of the blue bloods Of the ca
nine world was applauded for min
hunts for whales, their harpooning,
and final disposition were thrilling,
and the views of how the various
aquatic animals obtain food, all made
under water, were especially interest
ing.

WANTS PLAY PARKS
IN CROWDED CENTERS
Recreation Areas In Suburbs Not
Useful, Says Woman
Doctor.

Recreation areas should be near GEN.
ters OF population, and not at a dis
tance. according to DR.. Elnora c. Folk
mar. secretary Of the Medical Society
OF the District.
1T is not enough for cities to provide
large parks at long distances for occa-
sional visits and small breathing places
where adults and small children NAV
bask in the sun or listen to music in
the cool of the evening. There must be
places within easy walking distance of
the homes where young and old may
year round"

rangement to be commended and imi-
