Senator O'Gorman, denying the view
taken by Senators Root and Burton that

to what the property is worth IL they

Others to Be Investigated.

Furthermore, the subcommittee intends
to investigate every charitable institution
in the District. according to an intima-
ton received from a member OF the CON-
mittee today.
Although the report from Messrs. Lo-
beck and Dyer was not made public II
is understood that II contains q recon-
mendation for a complete survey of the
tuberculosis hospital by an expert in
hygiene. The report says that the food
supply at the hospital has not been at
all good in the past and was not UP to
the standard necessary to be maintained
in a hospital, but that the quality Of the
food became much better as soon as q
congressional investigation started.
It Is also understood that when the

the books Of the tuberculosis institution
will be carefully audited.

URGE NEED Of SCHOOL
Park View Citizens May Not
Send Children to PetWorth
Another Year.

Park View citizens who have petitioned
the board Of education and the Commits
sioners Of the District OF Columbia to
provide school facilities for their section
next year by moving portable buildings to
the school site at Lamont and Warder
streets may refuse to allow their children
to attend the Petworth School, where
they were given instruction last year, II
the request is not granted
1t is almost certain that the District
authorities will decide to move two por-
table buildings to the site Of tho Petworth
plan is decided on residents Of Park

will provide private instruction for their
children or permit them to go entirely
without schooling, as they claim the dis
lance to the Petworth school is too far
for the children to walk.
Section Without Schools.
John G. McGrath, president OF the Park
View Citizens Association. today de-
clared that IL the decision Of the District
authorities is unfavorable to Park View
he will bring the matter to the attention
Of the association and urge parents in
that section not to send their children
to the Petworth school II an attempt is
made to enforce the law requiring the
attendance of children at school, the
answer Of the suburbanites will be that
that section Of the district is not pro-
vided with school facilities.
In many instances 1t is said, Park
View children, who attended the Pet
worth School last year, were compelled
to walk distances of three-quarters of a
mile and more. The school population
of Park View has doubled in the past
three years. yet no provision has been
made to care for this increase.
II the Commissioners should decide to
move the portable buildings to the site
Of the Petworth School it would be with
the idea Of increasing the facilities OF
that institution so that 1t would serve
better the needs Of both Petworth and
Park View pupils

far as the tuberculosis Hospital Is con-
cerned will be the subject Of an inquiry
by subcommittee Of the District COM

the subcommittee today. A report on
conditions at the tuberculosis Hospital
was presented to the committee by Rep
resentatives Dyer and Lobeck. and it il
understood several recommendations have
been made concerning the hospital.
However, the committee found out that
no Information had been given by the
hospital stan or by the board Of charities
showing whether or not the patients at
the institution were District residents,
whether they had come from other insti-
tutions to escape payment. or whether
any attempt was made to see that the
Districts free sanatorium is not being
imposed upon.

Ting statement that the hospital has been
overcrowded. and that there are tuber-
culosis patients in other institutions

all this overcrowding comes from. We
will ask the name Of every patient who

Sugar Did It.

Washington, March 4.-The
whip will be used in Louisiana to
secure solid Taft delegation to
the Republican National Conven-
ton in Chicago next June. accord
ing to what is believed to be re-
liable information in the capital
to-day.
Following the selection of Clar-
ence S. Hebert. collector OF GUS
toms at New Orleans, as manager
of the Taft campaign in Louisl-
ana, it is stated, Mr.. Hebert was
instructed to use every means OF
convincing the sugar interests of
Louisiana that it was to their adj
vantage to send up a Taft delega-
ton. Unless that is assured, it IS
reported, the president may not
feel so kindly disposed toward the
Republicans there and may not
be able to control the tariff sit
uation.
In a word, it will be put up to
the Louisiana planters that they
will have Mr.. Taft or free sugar.
1t is expected, therefore. that
Louisiana 5 interests being so Vi
tally concerned in revision of
the sugar tariff. the Republicans
there who are so heavily interest
ed in the sugar industry will see
to it that Mr.. Taft controls the
vote of that state.

SOME BOLD FACTS.

The Republican campaign fund
in 1908 amounted to 81, 665, 51S.
The Democratic fund was $780,
644.27. The Republican had
more than a million in excess OF
the Democrats.
The number who contributed
to the Republican fund was
1920 and to the Democrats
funds $4,000. In other words,
the number of contributors to
the Democratic fund was six
times greater, and their contribu-
tons amounted to a million dol
lars less. The contributors to
the Republican fund, as rule,
were interested in legislation, the
money coming from such men as
j. Pierpont Morgan, Charles j..
Taft, Andrew Carnegie, Charles
M. Schwaub, John Jacob Astor
and the heads Of the various
wooden mills who desired the
passage Of the Payne-Aldrich law,
together with donations from
the Wall street banks, railroad
magnates, and individuals repre-
senting the tariff trusts.
The contributors to the Dem
ocratic fund were not personally
interested in legislation.
The contributions to the Re-
publican fund ranged from $780,
600 downward, while contribu-
lions to the Democratic fund
ranged from $4,000 downward.

POURING OUT THE WATERS
OF BITTERNESS.

The husbandman should arise
betimes. to anticipate the sun. to
rejoice that the time OF darkness
is gone, that the light is at hand
in which may be enjoyed the OPP
portunity for effort in the aid OF
his loved ones. When storms are
over man must return at once
without a mourning period to re-
pair the injuries caused by light
ming and flood. When grief and
sorrow and pain have spent them
selves upon us we must pour ont
til waters of bitterness and take
I'D again the waters of activity OF
life with hopefulness and undlm-
inished vigor, cheerfully perform
ING our duty.
To do this is for many to recog-
nize in practice, if not in theory
our cyclical deaths and resurrec-
tions. To ring out the old. to
ring in the new. An old oppor-
tunity gone. a new one at hand.
IF we have found we may not have
our way but have been defeated
we may gain i'm the sweetness OF
character which smiles at failure,
regarding it as a phase OF success
and in the knowledge that there
are many ways Of carrying to
successful conclusion the determ-
nation to discharge this or that
phase of duty
We must add nothing to the
darkness of our time. Ii our
LIGHT be hidden it must mot be ex-
tinguished but must be ready TO
shine when our karmic clouds ara
blown away.
Do not treasure bitter waters
Cast them out and fill your bottles
with fresh and sweet whenever
YOU may. The journeys long and
sometimes the footing dusty and
dry Many about you call on you
with word or look for cool sweet
waters and You must be ready !

TAFT WINS OUT IN LOUIS
lana.

Collector of Customs Clarence
S. Hebert has wired the pres,-
dent s secretary accepting the po-
sition as manager Of the cam
paign for Taft delegates in Louis
lana. The acceptance was sent
out to the executive mansion by
Mr.. Hebert yesterday.
Up to late hour last night the
statement of Chairman of the
Republican State Central Com
mittee Frank B. Williams, in
which his attitude in the national
campaign would be outlined, was
not given out.
Mr.. Williams, however, it is
quite certain, will either announce
his support of the candidacy OF
Mr.. Taft or else he will withdraw
from politics in Louisiana. All
day yesterday he was in close
conference with leaders of the Re-
publican party in this state, talk
ing the situation over with both
supporters of Colonel Roosevelt
and Mr.. Taft. If he had arrived
ut any decision, it was not com
municated to any of the leaders
last night. when his statement
was expected.
1t is now asserted that mo mat
ter what attitude Mr.. Williams
may take in the presidential sit
uation, Louisiana will send uD a
solid Taft delegation to the Re-
publican National Convention in
Chicago next June Is. The Third
District. which was considered
doubtful, is now conceded to be
for Mr.. Taft, since Jules God
chaux. chairman of that district.
has announced his support of Mr..
Taft. The Third District. of
which Mr.. Williams is also a
strong and leading Republican.
was in doubt until yesterday,
when it was practically given over
to Mr.. Taft.
Taft followers assert that of the
seven districts, each with two del
egates, and the six delegates at
large Mr.. Taft will control all.
The influence Of Clarence S.
Hebert, who is to have charge of
the Taft management in Louisi-
ana, is admitted to be active in
pressing the campaign for renom-
nation of the president. Mr..
Hebert left New Orleans Sunday
on the revenue cutter Davey to
meet the Morgan~Lner Excelsior
down the river. 1t was expected
that Mr.. Williams would be a
passenger on the Excelsior from
Havana. After Mr.. Williams ar
rived here Mr.. Hebert was in close
conference with him until very
late hour Sunday night. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Williams decision
in reference to his support of the
candidacy of Colonel Roosevelt of

Mr.. Hebert when they ON Sunday
