Last nights skating carnival on the
Tidal Basin, the first thing Of its kind
ever held In Washington, cannot be re.
peated tonight, as originally intended
on account Of the rise in the tempera-
ture which gradually Is melting the
thick. icy coating which has covered the
stream for ten days
The thousands of disappointed would
be skaters who were unable to even
get on the ice, let alone try their luck
with their steel gliders, were told that
tonight the carnival would be repeated
Indications now are that the Ice VIII
be unsafe for large crowds. and no at
tempt to repeat last nights festivities
will be made.
The first carnival on ice ever scen In
Washington was that of last night. 1t
was a bigger success than had been
Predicted. I'm fact, II was so much OF
a success that the management could
not accommodate the crowds, and rum
drcds cf would-be participants were not
given an opportunity to put on their
skates A test of the ice showed it WIS
not strong enough to hold all the
would-be skaters. and after O limited
number lad passed the line Of polirs-
permitted on the ice. Those who ar
rived before 730 o'clock were the only
ones privileged to skate.
Packed In Semi Circle.
About three sides of the basin was
"a packed semi-circle OF spectators.
Young and old made an endless chain
which trampled down the snow in their
efforts to get to the front. Great cracks
and water over the surface of the ice,
warned those in charge that 1t would
be unsafe to allow more on the basin.
Those who expected a band concert
were disappointed because the commit
tee was forced to send the players
ashore early in the evening. Many who
foresaw the possibilities of congestion
came in sleighs. Vans. power driven
and pulled by horses, were filled with
horns and singing. Automobiles made
continuous circle around the speed
way.
About 5000 feet Of ice had been swept
in the form of an ellipse. Extending
from the entrance of the Speedway
boathouse, was a line Of planking. Jap
anese lanterns were strung down the
center of the ellipse, and in cleared
circle four automobile lamps gave light

Senate Committee
Talks Conservation

The Senate Committee on Public Lands
at a meeting yesterday took up inn
portant phases of the conservation
question. The committee had a long
discussion over the question whether 1t
should prepare bills providing for the
leasing of certain minerals found on the
public domain. including coal. oil. and
phosphate.
No decision was reached. The COM
mittee IL about equally divided in SEN
timent for and against the leasing sys-
tenn. This system is urged by clifford
Pinchot and other supporters of con-
servatism.
Those members of the committee who
advocate the leasing system want to APP
ply 1t to the public domain not only

what policy 1t will follow at its next
meeting.

Committee Explains.
Owing to the fact that hundreds of
skaters were unable t. get near the
rink on account of the crowded condi.
ton. the committee In charge of the
AFFAIR this morning issued the following
statement
NO one expected sc large a crowd.
The committee knew the carnival would
be largely attended. but did not dream
70 much general interest would be
taken. The con.mittee, however. recog-
niZed the necessity of keeping the ice
only comfortably filed. as common safe
ty would demand.
AS to the music. attention Is called
to the fact that the immense crowd
prevented the musicians from getting
together, In the iirst place. In the seq
ond place, when the few members of
the bani lid begin the program. the
skaters crowded In front OF the grand
stand In such numbers as to max, Il
dangerous. the ice not being strong
enough to support such numbers in
safety.
Complaints have been registered be-
cause all skaters were not permitted
to go on the ice. A larger mass of
skaters could not have been accommo-
dated unless more time and work had
been expended In getting the rink ready
for the event: unless a large sum OF
money had been expended toward this
end and unless heavier ice than the un-
usually cold snap had provided had
been present.
"The plans Of the committee could not
be carried out because Of the great con-
gestion both in the rink and on the
shore. Financially. the affair was a
failure. In spite of the donations made
by Washington business men, there Is
still a deficit OF $25. No collections
could be taken last night because Of
the crowded condition"

When your feet are so tired they feel
like stumps. when they ache so that
they hurt way up to your heart, when
you shamble your feet along and It
seems as though all the misery you
ever had has settled in your feet. look
at the happy TIZ man in the picture.
You can be happy-footed just the
same. II you have corns and bunions
that everybody seems to step on, just
think of this happy TIZ man. He had
corns and bunions, too. This man used
TIZ, and now he has no more tender,
raw. chafed, blistered. swollen. tired,
smelly feet. corns. callouses or bunions.
AS soon as you put your feet in a
TIZ bath. you feel the happiness soak
ing in. It's like the mountain ozone
to lungs.
Nothing else but TIZ can give you
this. happy foot feeling. Don't accept
any substitutes.

street, which was free territory and
which led to the heart Of tho city.
Tho Scent fare contest running
through my nine years as mayor
might have resulted in final defeat
for the people but for this oversight
on the part OF the railroad company.
City ownership Of tracks, the citys
right to allow other companies to use
the tracks, shOrt-liyed grants-these
have always been he most powerful
weapons in the hands of the public
for resisting the aggresslOns Of street
railway mOnopolles. Cleveland had
all three OF these advantages.
Got an Omnibus line.
our Pearl street line had its termi-
nal al the West side Market house,
from which point to the center Of the
city it operated over the Hanna
Simms tracks. When | bought IT, 1t
was under lease to Hanna and Simms
and | did not ge; possession for over
eighteen months
By that time the city had completed
its yladuct. Since Hanna and Simms
owned the haH mile OF track between
the terminal Of our line and the city s
tracks on the viaduct and refused 70
let our cars use their tracks passen-
pers from the Pearl street cars were
obliged 20 change to Mr.. Hanna's can
at the market house and pay an addi-
uonN fare. Finally we established an
omnibus line and carried our passen-
gers without extra fare from our ter
minal to the heart Of the city in buss-
es.
PLAY Politics or Quit business"
In my early DAYS as has been shown
| did not recognize the relation be-
tween business and politics. My in
terest was in developing street aril-
ways and transportation systems. re-
laying on my knowledge of the busi-
mess for success. With Mr.. Hanna
and his kind the street railroads were
side issue, and from the time came
in contact with him, practically every
/ thing | did in the street railway busi-
ness became political question.
Il was a question OF playing poli-
tics or getting out of the business,
Councilmen were elected on their pre-
election pledges on the street railway
question The cure for this Nil with
all its possibilities Of terrible conso-
quences to men individually and to 80
ciety collectively is the municipal own
ership of street railways.
There Lies the EVIL.
A large proportion OF the political
evils OF our large cities is due TO prl-
vate ownership Of public utilities Pri-
yate ownership lodges the power to

would have been changed and my OPP

To permit the city TO build these

est blunder Simms and Hanna ever
made. for 1t was the city ownership
of this thrce-quarters of a mile Of
