TEXTILE SCHEDULE
TO PROVOKE BAT TILE
Senate Republicans Have Hopes
of Forcing Amendments by
Splitting Democrats.

One of the hardest fights of the ses-
sion in Connection with the tariff bill
will come when the textile schedules are
considered. Senate Republicans have
some hopes of dividing the Democrats
on the wool schedule. These hopes are
not of the strongest, because of the dis
position of most of the Democratic Sem
atorsators to bow meekly to the will of
the caucus. But they are such as to
afford ground for a most earnest effort
to change the wool and woolen rates.
Senator La Toilette has prepared
amendments to the textile schedules and
to most of the other schedules He is
preparing for a lengthy attack on the
Democratic bill. and will present sub
stitutes for several important schedules.
He has had experts at work for some
days.
Senator Smoot will present his amend
ment to the wool schedule. and. be-
tween the fight he makes and the one
waged by Senator La Toilette. there
will be interesting times in connection
with this schedule. Four years ago,
the great fight of the session centered
about the wool schedule. and 1t was in
connection Herewith that Dolliver made
his memorable speech.

CHARGES OF PASTOR
Washington Rector Calls Accu-
sation of Charlottesville Man
Nothing But "Rot."

Episcopal ministers of washington
unanimously deny the charges which
were made by the Rev. Charles Steele
Davidson, assistant pastor Of the Char
lottesville, Va. Christ Church, who
burned his vestments and prayer book
at the gates of Monticello last week be-
cause he claimed to have found that
the Episcopal Church favored the rich
to the discomfort of It's poorer MEM
bers, and was "shot through and
through with materialism"
The charges are rot" and no sensible
man would take them seriously, accord
ing to the Rev. Charles T. Warner.
rector Of St Adams, and of the wash
ington Cathedral.
There Is not a church In the world
today that Is making so strong an ef-
fort toward mission work and the uplift
OF the poorer people as is the Episcopal
Church" said the Rev. Mr.. warner.
One has only to be familiar with the
activities OF the church to be assured
that Davidson's statement Is without
foundation from beginning to end"
Chancellor Thomas H. Wilcox, of the
diocese Of southern Virginia, said yes
terday that Bishop Randolph had ap-
pointed court to meet in Richmond
this week and hear charges against
the Rev. Mr.. Davidson, questioning his
criticisms OF certain Of the church dig
nitaries. This court was appointed be-
church by the Charlottesville clergy

C|TY'S GROWTH IS
DETAILED IN BOOK
"The New Washington" De-
scribes Development and
Wealth of Capital.

Washington has advanced in wealth,
physical development and beauty more
In the past twelve years than in the
whole century OF its previous life. Its
present rate Of advancement will make
It the most notable capital city In the
world. These and many other statements
concerning the National Capital are sub
sta inflated in The New Washington
book just issued by the Southern
Commercial Congress and the Washing
toll Chamber Of Commerce.
In 1900 the total assessed value of real
estate in the District was 3lT656 .54s. In
lsic It totaled $3.50. .GG32, ,4S7. or nearly twice
as much as in 1900, according to figures
gwen In the book. milar growth Is
shown by public and private building Ill
the same periods, and the clearings OF
the banks show that they were more
than three times as great last year IS
in the year 1900. Washington's CONNER
cial and industrial development is like
wise forc.bly brought out.
Book Is Illustrated.
The book, which is TO be distributed
By the Southern Commercial Congress

its connections ip the Southern States
and by the Washington Chamber Ut

George II. Gall, a local newspaper
writer. IS the author OF the book.
The history OF the city IS traced from
it's beginning. bringing out forcibIy the
fact that the partiC patton OF the Fed
eral Government in the financial bur
denS Of the city was necessary to the
resulting rapid growth.
Centennial Did It.
1t is also shown that the interest OF
the whole country. awakened by the
centennial celebration in 1900. had much
10 do with the advancement of the city
from that time 10 the present. The sub
ject of taxation in the District is given
consideration and data submitted to
show that the people of Washington are
bearing an average burden OF taxation
as compared with that in other cities.

GIRLS A|NGLE WITH
BOYS At PLAYGROUND
Play Baseball, and Show, in
Many Cases, as Much AbiI-
+ ity as Male Teammates.

One doesn't have to go to the sea
shore to have all the fun that comes
OF playing in the sand with bucket
and shovel nor does one have to be
of the male sex to play baseball. The
truth of this statement is illustrated
daily at the Mt Pleasant playground
on Park road near Fourteenth street.
A team composed of five girls and
four boys played a nine exclusively
OF boys Saturday afternoon on the
playground diamond and the two-sex
team came near victory, the score be-
ing IL to 10 in favor of the boys. And
an error by one of the boys on the
the other side at that
Soon the girls will have an aIl-fem-
inine team which will challenge the
boys to game. settling relative
merits. Small girls on other play
grounds in the city are also playing
baseball this summer and the ma
tional game is becoming national as
respects both sexes.
Densely Populated.
The Mt Pleasant playground is one
Of the most densely populated in the
cssy each summer day. Count was
taken three times a day all last week,
and an average Of 600 children was
found at each count. Inasmuch as the
playground Is not large, the grounds
seem to be fairly swarming with chill
dren, morning, afternoon and early
evening.
Besides baseball, other games have
quite a vogue. Among these are vol
lev ball, basket ball. tennis, quoits and
numerous ring games. Ring games have
developed numerous varieties since
most of the adult readers of The Times
were children. A partial list Of those

cludes baseball. cat and rat, the mut-

Many Ages.
Children from three or four years up
take part In these games. Babies in
arms come to the playground with their
mothers or nurses, and crawl around
In the sand pits One two-year-old boy,
Pete" has taken part in some Of the
more simple ring games.
Although the animated play Of the va
rious games is attractive to watch, spec
tators say that the most charming time
at the grounds is the storytelling hour,
from to in the afternoon.
Then, when the shadows begin to
stretch their length across the field, the
quoits are dropped, the sand buckets
abandoned, small boys and girls cease
making reed and raffia baskets, and all
gather around the playground director.
Miss sarah Lewis, who tells them some
simple story of nature, Understandable
by young intelligences.
That the story generally contains some
moral makes II none the less interesting.
The children are not being obviously
preached at, and the lesson disguised in
