For the District Of Columbia and Mary
land. fair Sunday. Monday fair and
warmer; light variable winds. becoming
moderate southerly.
The rapid movement of storm areas
| across the United States has apparently
ceased, and Saturday night no well de-
| fined disturbance was charted in any
part of the country. A slight barometric
depression, however, occupies the Rocky
mountain region and the plains states,
but the precipitation attending it has
been light and local and confined to the
Rocky mountain region and the Pacific
states. In all other parts of the country
| during Saturday the weather was fair.
The weather was considerably colder
than at the same hour Friday over the
Atlantic seaboard and the northern
Rocky mountain region, while a general
reaction to higher temperature has over
| spread the plains states. the Mississippi
and Ohio valleys and the lake region.
The floods in the south Atlantic states
| caused by the heavy rains of Thursday
and Friday have proved to be the most
severe since the great floods of August,
| 1908, especially those. in the Savannah
river and the rivers of the Carolinas. At
! 1 pm. Saturday the stage of the Savan-
nah river at Augusta, Ga, was 362 feet.
AZ feet above the flood stage. with
farther slight rise indicated. In the mid
die Atlantic states and New England the
| floods were more moderate.
| The effects of the heavy rains are also
! felt in the Ohio river and its tributaries,
and flood warnings have been issued for
| the lower Ohio river and the Tennessee
and Wabash rivers. Only moderate
| flood is expected, however, in the lower
Ohio river from the water now in sight.
The indications are that the weather
throughout the country. except that it
will be unsettled in the upper lake region
the upper Mississippi valley and the
northern plains states.
A general change to warmer weather
will overspread the central valleys and
| the southern states Sunday, and the
eastern states Sunday night and Mon
day. Warmer weather Is also probable
1 in the northwest Sunday and Mon
| day. There are no indications at the
present time of decidedly colder weather
| over the eastern half of the country
within the next several days.
| The winds along the New England
coast will be light variable. becoming
south and southwest; on the middle At
lantic coast light variable, becoming
southerly: on the south Atlantic coast
light to moderate easterly: on the east
the west gulf coast moderate southerly;
on Lake Michigan moderate to brisk
southerly.

DEMUR TO INDICTMENT.
Action by National Cash Register

CINCINNATI, March 16.-Oficers and
agents of the National Cash Register
Company of Dayton, Ohio. indicted by
a federal grand jury. charged with vio-
lation of the Sherman antitrust act, to-
day filed demurrer to the indictments
against them
Today was the day originally set for the
defendants To plead, but the bonds
signed by j. III. Patterson president. of
the company, and his thirty-nine COL
leagues make their appearance peremp.
tory Tuesday. April 2 On that day
they will be asked TO plead to the charges
brought against them. If the demurrer
filed today is overruled Judge Hollister
will set a day early next week on which
he will hear arguments on the demurrer
Each of the defendants demurred to
each count of the indictment, alleging
that the matters set forth did not con-
fyttute an offense against the laws of the
United States and that the provisions OF
the act were too vague, uncertain and in.
definite to create and define a criminal
offense. They also attacked the con-
stitutionality of the law, and asked tc
be dismissed because il was not charged
that any of the defendants had done any
act to effect the object of the con.
spiracy.

WILL DISCUSS DISTRICT
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES
Hearing on the Norris Bill Will
Be Held Next Friday
Morning.

The House District committee will give
hearing on the Norris bill for presiden-
tial primaries in the District of Columbia
next Friday morning. 1t is understood
that Representative Norris will appear in
the interests of the bill, and that others,
both for and against the measure, will
appear.
Although this hearing, and possibly
others. will be given on the primary bill
1t is not believed that the measure will
be reported to the House at the present
session, certainly not in time for passage
before the time set in the bill for the
primary elections, which is the second
Tuesday in April.
Many members of the committee con-
slider that to bring UP the question of
much legislation of great Importance to
the residents of the District is pending,
would be unfortunate, to say the least.
Representative Kahn of California said
Yesterday that the question involved was
now "a moot question" which was being
considered in the states of the Union,
and that he did not think it would be OF
any benefit to residents of the District
of Columbia to take the matter up now.
Like Bristow Bill.
The Norris bill is Identical with the
Brlstow bill, which was recently reported
adversely to the Senate by Senator Mar
tin Of Virginia from the Senate district
committee
w. Mex. Clayton. secretary of the
democratic organization of the District
already has Informed Chairman John
son of the House District committee that
he would like to be heard in opposition
to the Norris bill. He said that the
democratic central organization here was
opposed to the adoption of the proposed
law in the District; that the convention
system had been in use here for many
years and had worked well.

PENSION LEGISLATION
OPPOSED BY SWANSON
Virginia Senator Declares
Against Measures Pending
and Attacks System.

!, Senator Swanson of Virginia, in a
speech in the Senate yesterday after
noon, opposed further pension legisla-
ton. The fight over the pension meas
ures, which has been on in the Senate
for a week, was continued.
The government has already paid
81, 900, 100000 on account of the civil
war. he declared. That amount is a
third more than the value of all the
property, real and personal. held in the
eleven seeding states at the time Of the
war, and eighteen times as much as
has been paid in pensions on account
or all other wars. He argued, too, that
there was no occasion for more liberal
pensions at this time.
One Omnibus Bill Passed.
The Senate yesterday passed one OF
the numerous omnibus pension bills
It's passage. however, was marked by q
sharp discussion between Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who is fighting al
| pension measures. and Senator Curtis
VINO is stanch advocate of more
liberal treatment of those who wore
the blue uniform of the United States.
The discussion centered around sus-
pension orders issued by the pension bu-
| reau when Mr.. Smith was Secretary OF
| the Interior. under which Is the pension
| office. during the second Cleveland ad-
ministration.
Contention Over Suspensions.
Senator Curtis declared there had been
$1,000 suspensions on the basis of de-
cision that did not properly cover the
case. Mr.. Smith replied that the decision
had been In accordance with the law and
was rSndered necessary by a confusion

SEASON FOR OYSTERS
IS NEARING THE CLOSE:
Profitable Business Recorded
by Those Engaged in
the Traffic.

The oyster dredging season on the Po-
tomac river and Chesapeake bay and
tributaries of the bay in both Maryland
and Virginia closed Friday at midnight,
but under the law longing in allowed for
the next two weeks, after which it liz
against the fisheries laws of both Mary
land and Virginia to take an oyster off
the natural beds until the season opens
again the latter part of next September
This does not mean that no oytsers will
be brought to the market here after the
close of the season: the dealers will then
get their supplies from the private beds,
and as long as there is any large demand
for the bivalves they will be brought
here by the run boats.
Barrel Stock in Summer.
Throughout the summer oysters are
also on sale at the wharf market, but
they are barrel stock from Norfolk and
elsewhere.
The season just closing. as far as the
quality and quantity of the supply are
concerned, has been q most successful
one. The oysters have been plump and

winter and the prevalence of ice prevent

AGAIN, ITO WHAT BASE USES"
Here 10 Story That viii Shock Admir-
ers Of Two Recognized Men
Of Genius.

The ladies at a watering place In
Bohemia recently organized a dress
making exhibition. A certain prin.
cess agreed to open it. At the last
moment some one noticed that the
most important models, two very gor.
geous lace blouses, were not displayed
to proper advantage. The caretaker
was called and instructed to beg, Dor.
row or steal two dressmaker's dunn
mics and to drape the blouses upon
them before the princess arrived.
After the opening ceremony 1t was
noticed that the exhibits were excit-
ing a great deal more attention than
the committee had counted on and
the princess insisted on seeing the
two objects which were the center of
attraction. Her surprise was very
great when she caught sight Of two
lifesize busts of Schiller and Goethe.
both decked out in lace blouses.
The caretaker. not being able to Sc
cure dummies, had borrowed the fig
ures of the poets from the reading
room. and as they were somewhat
fiat chested had carefully stuffed them
with busters to fill out the blouses.

PULLING TOOTH WITH "BIKE"
Novel Dentistry Method Of Two Lads
Failed Because One Lost His
Nerve.

The best tooth pulling story comes

his playmate of his aches and was
offered many devices for relief Final.
ly this plan was evolved: John
Tower was to bring around his bicy-
Gle. a string would be tied to It and
the tooth. Tower would ride swiftly
away. Roy would brace himself and
out would come the tooth.
All was made ready. The boy
mounted the bicycle and started. And
right there Roy's nerve failed him.
He started after the bicycle. The b.
cyclist rode faster. II developed into
race. Finally Roy was close
enough to make q wild grab for the
machine. The result was that the two
boys and the bicycle landed In a
heap. with the youngsters suffering
from injuries ranging from a cut on
Roy's head to a wrenched ankle for

NOT SUCH A GREAT AMOUNT
"Worth Ones Weight In Gold" Has
Been Accorded Altogether Too
Much Significance.

You often hear of a man or a WON.
an or an object of some sort that is
proclaimed to be worth his cher or
its) weight in gold" Did you ever
stop to figure out what your weight
in gold would be? Or your sweet.
hearts? Or your baby's? Or your
favorite pipes? You can do tap.
proximately The value of gold fluc.
tuates. Usually 1t runs in price some
where between $40 and $40 and ounce.
Let's take the latter amount. It's cas-.
Ter to figure with. Gold is weighed by
troy weight, twelve ounces to the
pound. In other words (at $40 an
ounce) $240 a pound. Do you weigh
$50 pounds? Then your weight in
gold is about $4,000. (The capital.
ization" of a man who gets an $780,
a-year salary Is your girls weight
40 pounds? She is worth only about
$26,400. Nearly $4,000 less than
yourself, though you probably won't
acknowledge ito her. II your
pipe weighs two ounces its weight in
gold is $40. Your 10-pound baby is
worth only $2,400 in gold. So you
see worth its weight in gold" is
not such exorbitant praise after all.
Next time tell her instead that she is
worth her weight in radium.
