HOSPITAL NEEDS AID.
Institution at Winchester No Longer
Able to Meet Demands.

Winchester, Va, Dec. 2O.-ln the
hope of raising $4,000 with when
to erect large addition in order TO
meet pressing demands, the physicians
of Winchester have began general
solicitation of contributions for the
Winchester Memorial Hospital, and 1t
is expected that the amount will be
raised in the near future among the
people of Winchester and vicinity am
also by contributions from former res
idents now living in various sections
fthe United States. Peter Winchester
Rouss, of New York, son of the late
Charles Broadway Rouss, the blind
millionaire merchant, has headed the
list with $4,000, and members of the
medical staff Of the hospital have con-
tributed S1,15O, leaving about $4,000
to be raised. When the hospital was
built some years ago, it was believed
the institution was Of sufficient size
and capacity to meet the demands OF
many years, but during the past few
years it has been necessary for the
authorities to refuse to admit large
numbers of people who sought treat
ment there, wholly on account of lack
of room. 1t is now proposed to double
the capacity Of the institution by
erecting two additions and also make
provisions for the accommodation OF
twice the number of bonefide city
charity patients, whose trea.emnt +

Against Suffrage in the District.

President Taft yesterday came oHt
positively against suffrage for the DIS
trict of Columbia and declared that
zone of the most crying needs in the
government Of The District is tribu-
nal, or public authority, for the pu"-
pose of supervising the corporations
engaged in the operation OF pubic
utilities" said the street railway as.
comodations in the capital might be
Substantially improved" and called
upon Congress to give information
as to why there should be further os-
lay in the union of Potomac and koc&,
Greek parks.
The President denounced chose WHO
accused him of playing politics i'll
putting fourth-class postmasters un-
der the civil service; urged THAT men,
bers of the Presidents cabinet be
given seats on the floors of the House
and Senate to explain public questions.
The constitution of the late South
ern Confederacy gave seats in Con-
gress 70 cabinet officers with the priv
ilege., recommended by President TAI.

SPENT $1,000 FOR SLEMP.
Sworn Expense Account Shows Contri
buttons.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 20.-1n view Of
the indictments found in Russell coun-
ty against A. Pendleton Crockett, seq
rotary to Congressman c. B. Slemp,
on the charge of furnishing money for
the purchase of voters at the recent
election, the campaign expense account
of Mr.. Slemp becomes of interest. 1t
has been freely suggested that in case
of Mr.. Crockett's conviction, Mr..
Slemp might we'll be put in an embar-
RAISING position, since presumably ne
would have known something of the
source of funds possessed by his secre-
tary.
1t turns out that according to Mr..
Slemp's sworn statement of expenses,
as filed in the Office of the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, he paid to A. +.
Crockett, his secretary, on September
Is, 1912, the sum of $1,000. It's pur-
pose is not stated. In addition, M.
Slemp paid to C. S. Pendleton, the
Republican district chairman, amount
as follows: September Is, $500; o.
tober /, 1000; October Is, $3.50; Oc-
tober 25, $3.50.
On September 10, Mr.. Slemp paid TO
H. E. Widener, 5000, while on Octob II
LIST, he paid $500 to J. B. Hurt, secrc-
tary; 500 to r. o. Crockett, and SfD
to the Pulaski County Committee.
The remainder of his total sworn
expense of S4,S46.64 went to newspa-
pers for advertising, and to speakers,
printing and postage.

Railroad, Va, Dec. 20.-Virgin!s
dai,ymen are much interested in tho
ioil! now before Congress controllms
the coloring of oleomargarine. Inc
proposed measure provides that tht
pro, .uct must not be of darker shad;
than a hue which it is attempted te
specify by law. The idea is to have
definite shade, so that the purchaser
and the consumer may know at al
times just what they are getting. AL
bu ,r is darker than the suggested
colo-.
The difficulty in the situation is ad-
init. ed to be the matter OF color
;Dai.ymen admit that it would be un-
iust to forbid any coloring at all
Surprising a standard shade TO be
ado tied, and samples furnished, say
on board, for the use of the oelo'
MARGARINE, manufacturer. The sha2e
might, under climatic conditions, ne
cone darker or lighter and the Gtan,
ard co-respondingly destroyed.

ja IGN is necessary. 1t costs, say, un,
der modern conditions, "a cents q

to produce a pound of oleomargarlne
The oelo dealer may sell his pr''
duct at 26 cents and make fourtee'
GEMS pound profit, and still unaer-
sell the butter maker who may get 8
cen, less the dealers profit. AT any

fifteen cents the cleo man can under
sell the dairyman and still make

CHECK FLASHER CAUGHT.
~. Il. Converse Arrested for Drawini
Bad Check.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 20.-The police
believe they have rounded up syste-
matte check flasher in the person OF
w. Fl. Converse, butcher, who gives
New York as his home, who was az.
rested Wednesday on two warrants
charging him with obtaining money
under false and fraudulent pretenses.
His case was first brought to tie
attention of the department by Will
liam D. Kirschmann, manager of The
Broad street branch of the L. Bromm
Baking Company, who reported that a
man by the name of w. H. Converse
had passed a check on him for S2o
which had proven to be forgery. The
cheek, which was drawn on the First
National Bank, had been refused When
presented to for payment.
Converse was originally arrested on
the charge of obtaining money by
fraud, having drawn and passed
check on a bank in which he has No
account. Later, hhowever, it was dis
covered that the name of a Richmond
man had been forged on the back OF
THE check as Endorsement, the indorse-
mers having led Mr.. Kirschmann to
cash: the check. The police intend to
pre- 5 the forgery charge.
4 second warrant has been ISSUED
for Converse on the charge Of defraud-
ing Joseph Sweeney, Main street
butcher, of the sum Of 50. The meth
DDS, used in the Sweeney case were
similar to those employed in obtain
ing Che $2S.
Converse was convicted yesterday
in Justice Crutchfield's court OF pass
ing a worthless check and sentenced
to four months in Jail.

viii Raise Fund to Clean Tower.

There is a general denial among
the trainmen of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & ST. Paul and the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad companies as
to the eXpectoration of tobacco juice
on the floors of the Medary tower
just east of North La Crosse follow
ing the announcement that warnings
had been bulletined from Superinten-
dent Melin's office in Milwaukee.
The men in question say that while
almost every trainman uses tobacco
there are few who would deliberately
spit ion a clean floor or stove, and as
the Milwaukee trains do not stop
at Medary, it would be impossible for
them to do this kind of work there.
A committee sent to Medary to in
vestigate, reported the tower in an
uncleanly condition, the windows be-
ing lined up with half frozen vines
and shrubs gathered from the bluffs
and planted in old tin cans which
were overfllrd with soil. The train
men of both roads Ito show their re-
gard for cIeanliness) have started to
raise fund for the payment of the
services of two scrubwomen to be sent
to Medary with enough soap and dirt
remover 10 give the tower a thorough
cleaning. This will save delays to
trains as the towermen will have
clear view and will be able to see
trains through the windows when they
are in sight" remarked one jokingly.
The trainmen have expressed a de-
sire that anyone who wishes to COM
tribute to this fund, send the money
to General Yardmaster Joseph Luti-
ger at north side office.-La Crosse
