JOHN MASONBROWN
TO Be LAID At REST
BY FATHERS SIDE:
Washington Lawyers Burial
Will Take Place At
Louisville.

The body OF John Mason Brown,
prominent Washington attorney. who
died suddenly in Louisville, KY, Mon
day night, will not be brought back to
Washington. but will be inferred in
Louisville by the side of the grave of
Mr.. Browns father.
Mr.. Brown left Washington, June Q, in
company with his wife and an aunt.
Mrs. William F. Barrett. of Frankfort
KY, for an automobile tour to Louis
vile, where he expected to leave his
car and travel by rail to Chicago, Yel-
lowstone, and other points West. He
had stopped a few days in Lexington,
illustrious ancestors. and had then gone
on to Louisville. where he was stricken
with his fatal illness. He was rushed
to a hospital, and a serious operation

Born in Louisville, KY, forty years
ago, Mr.. Brown had held high posi-
tions of state in Kentucky before he
came to Washington, fourteen years
ago. Here he accepted a position ds
troller of the Treasury and he re-
mained in the service of the Govern
ment about eight years, when he re-
signed to take up the practice of law

many large business concerns, particu.
larly among the dredging companies OF

years he had built up a practice thai

years shared offices with e. Beverly
Slater.
Mr.. Brown married Miss Grace Dud.

children. He was prominent an churcl
work, being deacon In the New York

Rupture Trusses
Six Gents !

No junk dealer will pay over .
cents for a truss. whether old or
nearly new, and yet a multitude of
former rupture sufferers have sold
their trusses for junk or have
thrown them away-beCause they
no longer needed such contraptions.
They learned OF a simple, safe,
speedy method Of self-treatment of
rupture by reading a newly pub
lished book and got rid OF their rup-
lures.
The treatise tells how all kinds
groin, femoral, navel, scrotal, single.
double, etc, ruptures are treated for
the purpose of attaining a cure that
is complete and permanent. Legions
of men. women. and children give
testimony of cures effected for them
after all else had failed. The author,

His Appeal Was More
National, Says
Commoner.
HOME SENTIMENT
HELPED HIM TO WIN

BALTIMORE, July 3.-Mr. Wilson's s
nomination is evidently very acceptable
to the country. His campaign was a
national one from the start. In fact,
he was the only candidate who ran
everywhere. This had both its advan-
tages and its disadvantages. 1t was an
advantage in that 1t gave him a chance
to obtain a large number of delegates,
but 1t was a disadvantage in that 1t
naturally arrayed against him the
friends of the other candidates.
He entered the convention, however,
with more than 200 votes less than half.
His greatest asset was the fact that he
came out strongly against Parker for
temporary chairman. This was the
first line drawn in the convention. and
1t was probably fortunate for Wilson
that his side was defeated. If I had
been. selected for temporary chairman,
1t would have been looked upon as a
thing to be expected, and a victory at
that time would not have made any
great impression on the country. But
my defeat startled the Democrats
throughout the land and made them
aware Of the strength of the reac-
tionaries.
Hearing from home has been one of
TIE ledluTeS OF InlS COuNtI-
ton. Probably no other convention ever
brought forth such a flood Of tele-
grams, and these kilograms had a great
deal to with the final action of the
convention. Wilson's name was in
nearly all of them.
Will Win Republicans.
The weak point in Wilson's cam
paign for the nomination was in the
fact that some of his former utterances
were used against him by his oppo-
nents. but these arguments will not
avail when addressed to the progress
sive Republicans. l think that Wilson
will poll more Of the progressive Re-
publican vote than any other man we
could have named.
The platform is progressive, the most
progressive platform that any great

HAVE NO QUORUM
FOR MEETING OF
CONYENT|ONBOARD
Minority Members Unable to
Get Session of Hygiene
Committee.

After waiting in vain for half an hour
for quorum, DIR. ID. Percy Hickling,
chairman; DR.. Tom williams and Will
liam +. GUIDE, members OF the joint
committee of the Board OF Trade and
Chamber of Commerce, appointed to
arrange entertainment of the fifteenth
International Congress on Hygiene and
Demography and the American Public
Health Association, adjourned tris
afternoon until next Wednesday at
noon.
A meeting of the joint committee had
been called by DR.. Iickilng for this
noon to discuss the progress of plans
for the entertainment of the two con-
ventions and when only two members
besides himself appeared he was plainly
disappointed.
THE people OF Washington are not
arising to this occasion in anything
like the appropriate fashion," he saii.
This is the first time since the or
ganization of the congress on hygiene
about fifty years ago that the congress
will have held a session outside q
| European city. 1t will come in Sep
! tember with delegates from twenty-five
| Of the nations of the earth and from
every State and many cities of the
United States, at the invitation of the
the most important gathering of the
| men and women leaders in matters OF
public health which has ever beer
held. We seem utterly to fail to ap-
preciate the opportunity we have to dc
the graceful and hospitabic thing.
This committee needs $4,000 to
| carry out the plans for entertainment
| of the congress and the association
which we have in mind. Mr.. Galliher,
| chairman of the finance committee,
| has just telephoned me that responses
| to his appeal for funds are not en-
couraging and that he is today send
| ing out a second appeal. / hope the
| second appeal will be more generously
answered than the first. / think we
| may as well adjourn until next We'd
nesday at noon to meet at the Board
| of Trade rooms, when l hope there
will be quorum of the committee
present"
This was agreed to by Mr.. GUIDE and
| that the country at large appreciates
much more than does Washington the
| Importance of the health gathering
| in September, since every State and
| scores of cities and hundreds of pub.
, lie organizations have aready named

! referred to the fact that $4,000 hao
been appropriated by Congress and
that Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rookie

Jacob Schiff, Mrs. f. II. Hartman and

FLEET Of HYDROS
IS COMING ALONG
POTOMAC RIVER
Exhibitions Will Be Given
on Waters Hereabouts
Tomorrow.

There is treat in store for Washing
ton people tomorrow. For the first time
in the history of the city a fleet of
hydro o-aeroplanes will come up the Po-
tomac river.
The aviators will be Lieut. Theodore
Ellyson in a Curtiss hydro, another by
Lieut.. ]. II. Towers, and a Wright pom
toon boat by Lieut.. John Rodgers. They
are members of the Naval Aviation
School at Annapolis.
The flight may be made this afternoon.
They plan to leave Annapolis between
3 and. 4 o'clock, fly down the Chesapeake
bay to the mouth of the Potomac. and
then up to the Navy Yard, where they
will hit the water and skim over 1t to a
landing. The aviators will register at
the Army and Navy Club.
Orders have been issued at the Navy
Department directing the fiiers to keep
over water as much as possible, but, II
necessary, they will be privileged to
fly over the land.
The water course to Washington Is
l4 miles, and they expect TO fly 1t in
three hours, averaging slightly more
than one mile a minute.
In their flights tomorrow they will
skip about and over the waters of the
river and possibly on Tidal basin, ris-
ing and descending like big sea gulls:
The return flight will be made by the
same route.

PROVIDES
APPROPRIATION FOR
MANEUYER CAMP
Joint Resolution Carrying
Expenditure of $780,
900 Passes.

The Senate today passed the joint
resolution providing $3.50, 900 for the
army and militia maneuver camps to be
held in different parts of the country
during the present month.
The resolution was passed by the
House previously and was needed be-
cause Of the army appropriation bill, in
which the item originally occurred, was
vetoed by President Taft and is now on
its way through Congress a second
time.
over $4,000 had been spent in prep
aration for these camps and IL the rest
of the money on which the War De-
partment had been counting had not
been appropriated the sum already ex-
pended would have been wasted. The
first of these camps will be held July 8.
Assurance was given by the House
about two weeks ago that the money
would be forthcoming, whatever the
fate of the army appropriations bill,
and on this promise preparations for
the camp were carried forward

Marine Band Will Play
At Chevy Chase Lake

The authorities of Chevy Chase Lake
have announced that as special at
traction for the Fourth, the full section
of the United States Marine Band will
be on hand both afternoon and evening.
Music and dancing are the most popular
attractions at this resort, and this ar
in dancing to "trip the light fantastic"

gram will be carried out in the evening,
but during the afternoon the band will
play at the pavilion exclusively.
There will no doubt he many picnic
parties at the Lake on the Fourth.
The absence OF Intoxicating liquors at
the park, the special police protection
that is maintained, and the fact that no
questionable amusements are permitted,
make Chevy Chase park a very attrac-
tive place for ladies and children.
