Stepping Stones to Statesmansbip

The Spanish-American war was brief and of few opportunities for the ambi- tious, nevertheless it was q stepping stone for considerable number toward the goal of statesmanship, and was quite a factor in making one man the President Of the United States.
 Service upon the field of battle and the accommodation of an ounce or two of lead-judcal cumulation-qualifes any average American for the cares and re- responsibilities of statecraft, and 1t is a beautiful and very popular sentiment.
 In the Senate of the United States there are only eight men today who saw ser vice in the civil war. Twenty years ago in the Senate a senator who was not at least a colonel had a slim chance for attractive committee appointments. The union side of the struggle is represented in the Senate by Senators Du Pont of Deleware, Knute Nelson of Minnesota

OSTEOPATHY BILL
FINDS OPPOSITION
FROM PHYSICIANS
DR.. Custis and DR.. Cook
Want Examination of
All Candidates.

The bill regulating the practice of
osteopathy was the subject of hearing
today before the Senate District COM
mittee. Opposition to II was expressed
by DR.. J.r. Gregg Custis and DR.. @.
Wythe Cook, both well-known physi-
clans Of this city. DIR. C. d. swope was
the chief witness in favor Of the
measure.
The opposition to the bill was based
primarily on the fact that It does not
require, al prerequisite for the prac-
tice of osteopathy in the District, that
candidates be examined with reference
to their knowledge of materla medic8.
The physicians of the regular school
would make 1t necessary for the osteo-
pathists to pass substantially the same
examinations as regular physicians do
before being allowed TO practice osteo-
pathy.
The committee took no action on the
bill and put 1t over until next Friday.
Widen Spring Road.
The District Committee acted favor
ably on the bill for the widening and
extension of Spring road, northwest.
This bill has been strongly opposed by
some of the property owners in the vi
cinity because Of their objections to
fits. The committee reported a substi-
tute embodying some changes in the
original bill, but still makes provision
for the assessment of benefits.
The committee ordered a favorable re-
port on the bill allowing the Georgetown
Gas Light Company to lay gas main
on Conduit rad. An amendment was
added putting the construction under
the supervision of the Secretary of War.
A favorable report was ordered on
bill to allow notaries public to act
as attorneys in the handling of claims
much desired by notaries and was
recommended by Attorney General
Wickersham.
The committee ordered a favorable
report on the bill, making provision
against the abandonment Of desti-
tute, infirm or aged parents.
The bill increasing the penalty for
stealing autos and joy-riding was re-
ferred to Senator Jones as a sub
commiffee

tioning of counsel for the defendant de-
clared that as the agent of the Depart

Walker He said that when he lost
he charged the loss to the department

COMMON
RACES PREFERRED
TO HIGHEST PRICE
Large Sales of Both Issues
on Local Stock Exchange
Create Interest.

Railway common was the feature Of
trading on the local stock exchange
today. The price was set high by
those holding the stock, and the sales
made were at 94% to u, nearly zoo
shares entering into the transactions.
AS the preferred stock sold after call
at 95, also nearly 200 shares. IL Is
seen that the common stock is now
chasing the preferred hard for first
place in the quotation list.
A few bonds were sold in the early
trading, all at current prices, Co

solidated SIS, and Chesapeake and
Potomac SIS entering, into the trans
actions Eastern Light and Fuel, at
126%, Gas at s6N, Mergenthaler at
222 for cash and an eighth higher
for regular delivery, Lanston at 90
and fraction lower made up the
business of the day.
Bidding for all stocks wanted was
insistent, and much more than those
recorded could have been sold had
they come out at the quoted figures
or small fractions lower. Prices were
held firm because of the small Offer
ings and the volume of business re-
stricted on that account.

Argument Is Begn
In the Allen Case

WYTHEVILLE, Va, May 31.-Ar-
guments before the Jury in the case
of Claude Allen began this morning.
Attorney John s. Draper opened for
the Commonwealth, following the ex-
animation of half a dozen witnesses
this morning by the defense to re-
flute impeaching testimony intro
duced yesterday by the prosecution
against Daniel Thomas, one Of the
defense's main witnesses.
Judge Staples read the instructions
to the jury, these having been pre-
pared yesterday during the delay
caused in obtaining the new defense
witnesses.
The different degrees of murder in
Virginia and the circumstances re-
garding each were clearly explained
to the jury in the instructions.
The court instructed the jury that II
the defendant, Claude Allen, fired al
Clerk Goad with malicious intent ia
kill him, but missed the clerk and killed
Judge Massie, he should be found guilty
of murder in the first degree.
Regarding the legal right of son to
defend his father the jury was instruct
ed that the right ceased with the right
of the father to defend himself.
The case is expected to be in the
hands of the jury by noon tomorrow

The downward movement received a
check just before noon, and the recov-
cries amounted to half q point or more
on the leaders. During the first hour
Of the afternoon prices remained steady
somewhat above the lowest of the
morning.
About 1 o'clock the heavy selling
movement Of the morning was resumed,
and II then became apparent that some
of the discouraged bull operators are
quietly unloading their holdings in the
hope of getting out without greatly de-
pressing the market. Prices dropped
back to the lowest point Of the morn
ing, and In some cases went lower,
leaving the market very weak and un-
certain.

STOCK PRICES DECLINE BEFORE
RAID OF THE BEARS IN MORN
ING HOURS.

NEW YORK, May 81. - The stock
market today is irregular and weak.
After a show OF strength in the early
trading volume Of heavy selling took
place which drove prices down point
or two, from which there was around
noon a partial recovery.
Political Influences, uncertainty re-
garding crops and general WEAKNESS Of
the bull cliques to support their spe-
cialties against bear raiding are the
causes of the present weakness Of the
market. The Irregularities at the OPEN
ing were due largely to several stocks
going on sale ex-dividend. In some
cases the drop had been discounted and
In other cases not, so that the first
prices had somewhat mottled appear
ance. Business all the morning was
largely professional, and the market Is
practically in the hands of floor trading
pools which are seeking by one means
and another to gain some temporary
advantage for their preferences. while
the list as whole is sagging and grad
ually seeking lower level.
lndustrials showed as great weakness
as the rails, though not marked by so
wide price fluctuations. Beet Sugar
opened three-fourths of point down
