BIG SCALLOP BED
LOCATED OFF COAST
Fish Commission Boat Locates
Long Stretch of the Giant
BivaIves.

What is believed to be an important
economic discovery has Just been
made by William W. Welsh and DR..
Henry B. Bigelow, scientific assist
ants in the United States Fish Com
sion.
On a recent trip of inspection and
investigation on the fisheries vessel
EramPuS. giant scallops were brought
TO the surface every time the dredge
was dropped on a long cruise Off coast
from Block Island to the Virginia
capes. 1t is estimated that there is
an inexhaustible bed of these bivalves
thirty miles wide, extending all the
way down the coast for two hundred
miles, or enough to supply America
for interminable years.
Heretofore giant scallops, an edible
bivalve. have only been found in small
beds off the Maine coast, and they
have brought good price because of
their scarcity.
The big find has been reported to
Secretary of Commerce Redfield by
DR.. Hugh N. Smith, commissioner of
fisheries, and 1t is probable that an
immediate survey will be ordered to
definitely fix the limits of the bed.
1t is believed to extend from Block
Island, of the Rhode Island coast. TO
Cape Charles.

Chain of Events.

NEW YORK, July 29-Hugh Hern-
don, an attorney and yachtsman, did
not intend to disregard the orders of
Patrolman Barthold when the latter or
dered him to stop his automobile early
today. That the wooden leg of a COM
panion was caught in the clutch and
he couldn't stop was the answer of the
attorney when he was arraigned in the
Harlem police court.
HerndOn added that ii was mighty un-
comfortable to have Barthold pumping
away at him with a revolver when he
was Going his best to obey orders and
stop his machine.
According to Herndon he brought FIVE
friends downtown for supper after an
afternoon of yachting. They met two
young women in the restaurant and
started out with them in the machine
At l09th street II was suggested that
the young women leave the automobile
and permit the men TO return to their
homes
The young women got out of the car.

ment" and climbed on the running
board. While waving a hat pin in the
general direction of Herndon and his
friends. she fell off. and this attracted
the attention Of the patroIman
He called to Herndon to stop and
when the latter's machine kept on mov-

LIABLE To ARREST
ON RUNNING BOARD
Passengers Who Disobey Rules
of Utilities Commission Will
Be Fined.

Passengers who persist in riding on
the running boards of the street cars
In violation Of the rules of the Public
Utilities Commission hereafter will be
subject to arrest and a fine of from 81
to $40.
The Commissioners today adopted an
amendment to the police regulations
providing that whenever any passenger
or person shall refuse or neglect to
obey any order Of the Public Utilities
Commission for the operation and
equipment of the street cars. after de-
mand from the conductor or motorman,
it shall be the duty of the members of
the Metropolitan police force to assist
the employees to enforce obedience
Conductors. in other words. have only
to summon a policeman on the refusal
OF a passenger to obey the running
board and other regulations.
The adoption of a regulation provid-
ing police assistance, officials said to-
day, II is believed will be of great aid
in the enforcement of the orders of the
Public Utilities Commission. Hereto
fore little attention has been paid to
the regulation prohibiting passengers
from riding on the running boards, the
conductors declaring that they could
not enforce the ordinance.

Watch Your Baby
These Summer DAYS
Little StomdchS Get Out of
Order Easily in Hot Weather

During the hot months mothers
should look very carefully to the con-
dition of the bowels OF babies and
young children, and, for that matter,
II is very important in the lives of
people at all ages. Care should be
taken that the water is pure, the milk
wholesome. and the fruit ripe Though
not Over-ripe), and that not too much
Of anything is eaten.
When trouble results II is usually in
the form Of constipation or Of diar-
rhoea. II the child loses appetite is
fretful or languid, and complains of
headache, you may look for constipa-
ton. Give II a small dose OF Dr. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin at night on retir-
ing, and by morning this pleasant lax
atiVe will have acted and the child will
be it's normal self again.
At the first sign of a summer cold
also give Syrup Pepsin. as the clean
ing out of the bowels will usually be
sufficient to break the cold. Summer
diarrhoea can be stopped in the same
way by riding the bowels Of the poi
sons and germs that cause the trouble
This opinion OF the value of Syrup
Pepsin is shared by thousands of peo-
pie like Mrs. Ella Denzel, I24 Nichols

Blames JingOism to
Military Weakness

Declaring that the present talk Of
possible war with Japan arises from the
military weakness of this country. Brig.
Gen. Albert L. Mills, chief of the
militia division of the War Department,
has taken occasion to charge Andrew
Carnegie with Inconsistency in his ad-
Vocacy of disarmament as the means of
obtaining universal peace. While urg-
ing disarmament, says General Mills,
the steel magnate praises Emperor Will
lam of Germany as the greatest peace
force in the world.
who for a moment" General Mills
asks, believes that the German En-
peror could have maintained peace If
Germany had not been prepared for
war? That the German government has
maintained peace for a quarter of
century is the most effective answer to
the demand of thusssvho are vo1eInor1ng
for disarma ment, particularly when the
countries of the world are far from that
universal accord which makes disarm-
ament possible. We know that all the
talk about possible war with Japan
arises because of the weakness of this
country as regards its available military
forces. If we had an adequate military
force, well trained, and an adequate re-
serve, which could promptly mobilize in
case of war. there would be less talk of
war than we now hear year after year"

TELEPHONE LINES
TO PACIFIC SOON
Capital Now Is Linked With
Denver, But Extension to
Coast Is Planned.

Should you happen to awaken late
one of these fine mornings and decide
you'd like to chat with some friend on
the Pacinc coast-say Los Angeles or
San Francisco. probably to seek accom-
modatons for the Panama Exposition
it'll very likely be in your way to
transact the business from your mat
tress without rising. WASHINGTON will
soon be linked commercially BY tephone
with the coast cities, according to local
telephone engineers
Only recently the lines have nosed
their way westward as far as Denver,
so that should one decide to call Den
yer by phone right away he or she
may do So within a few minutes. The
commercial transmission Of telephone
conversations from the Atlantic sea-
board with Denver has only been estab-
lished within the past few months. The
engineers are making every effort to
push the lines to the Pacific limit and
complete cross continent conversations,
from the water edge OF the Atlantic TO
points washed by the Pacific.
Another item of telphonic interest
to Washingtonians is disclosed In an
interview with Division Superintendent
Porter. Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Telephone Company. who declares that
this city ranks among the highest In
telephone development.
Washington has more than 5000
telephones" said Mr.. Porter TODAY. cor
about fourteen telephones for every
hundred persons. Probably II YOU
would like to draw the figures a little
closer you could say that Washington
has practically q telephone for every
family in its limits"

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA. VA, JULY %

With the primary for State officers
only one week away, friends of the sew
eral candidates are busy. in the last
days Of the canvass, in an effort to get
out the vote. The absence of a con-
test for the nomination for the COVER
norship deprives the election of much
of its interest, but it is expected that
the usual vote will be polled for the
other positions.
The fight for the lieutenant governor
ship is attracting the greatest attention
here in view of the fact that two Of
the three men running are Eell known
IN this city. Lewis NJ. Machen has been
active in this section for many years
as a lawyer, newspaper writer and poll
tician. He represented this district in
the State senate for one term several
years ago.
Alexander j. Wedderburn. of Fair
fax county, is also well known here as
the editor of the Alexandria Sunday
Times. The present incumbent of the
office, J. Taylor Ellyson, has many
friends here. who will be actively at
work at the polls for him on the day
of the primary, August 8. A rumor
current today. is to the effect that one
of the candidates will withdraw from
the race this week.
The contests for attorney general and
commissioner of agriculture are attract
ing less attention, but friends of Attor-
ney General Samuel W. Williams are
working quietly in his behalf, and he
appears to have the best chance to
carry the city. He Is opposed by ].

MAY PROBE CHANGES
IN DEPARTMEN
Civil Service Commission Ready
to Act If DepoSed Men Will
File Complaints.

Discharges or demotions ostensibly
for the good of the service but
really for partisan purposes. will not be
tolerated by the Civil Service Commis-
sion, according to a statement made
today by President John a. McIlhenny,
of the commission. If any Pension
Office section chief. removed or de-
moted in the recent changes in that
building, is willing to file complaint,
the Civil Service Commission will at
once investigate the matter, according to
Mr.. McIlhenny, and if the commission
has any reason to believe that such
partisan preferment has taken place II
will start an investigation without fling
OF complaint by an affected individual.
But up to and including the present
time, according to the head of the
Civil Service Commission, it has no
reason to believe that either the letter
or the spirit of the law has been
broken.

Mr.. Tieman to have been for the good

be promoted by having as section
chiefs men who are in full sympathy
because of similar party affliation
with the present administration of
the Pension Office. According to the
men denoted or removed. none of
whom, however, is willing to talk for
publication, the changes have been
made for partisan purposes only-to
reward Democrats at the expense of
the Republican incumbents.
Accordingly, at the present time, the
Civil Service Commission does not eX-
pet to launch an inquiry but a full
fledged one will start at once if one of
the twenty removed or denoted men
will come to the front it is stated. The
hearsay information concerning these
removals and demotions is not enough,
according to a statement at the Civil
Service Commission today, to warrant
that body in moving of its own initia-
