Many persons suffer from poor

anything to do with 1t.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee. acts

too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes good
memory nearly impossible.

UNDERWOOD and MANN
CLASH ON claims BILL
When House Adopts Alabamian's 3
Amendment, Minority Leader
Forces Adjournment.
cARLN ALSO Is SQUELcHED

a verbal clash between Representative
Underwood of Alabama, the Democratic
leader. and Representative Mann OF
in the House yesterday. The trouble
arose over the bill carrying approx
mately 100000 in payment OF claims
against the government. As a result of
the row. Mr.. Mann started a filibuster
that resulted in the bill going over for
the day.
Mr.. Mann opposed an amendment Of
fered by Mr.. Underwood incorporating in
the measure a $1,000 claim payable to
persons in Mr.. Underwood's district in
Alabama caused by United States troops
after the close of the war.
Mr.. Mann pointed out that the Alabama
claim was not reported by the Claims
Committee, and he expressed doubt that
IL was a just charge against the govern
ment. Mr.. Underwood replied that the
claim was just and should be paid. and
he took exception to the criticism ad-
vanced by the Republican leader. Rep
resentative Carlin of Virginia attempted
TO smooth the differences, but dropped
into his seat with a thud as Mr.. Mann
shouted at him:
You're too small to get in this
When the House adopted the Under
wood amendment. Mr.. Mann began his
hlibuster. He made a point Of no
quorum. The roll was called. disclosing
the absence of a quorum The House
then adjourned. Mr.. Mann is mad, and
that means that If the claim is passed
il will have>to be under a special rule.

|U. S. Will SUPERVISE
| DOMINICAN ELECTIONS
Orders Issued for Dolphin to Join
Nashville and Perel at
Santo Domingo.
TWO OBSERVERS ALSO GOING

President Wilson has approved the plan
of Secretary Bryan to observe" the
Forthcoming Dominican elections. This
approval was evidenced yesterday In the
issuance Of orders to the gunboat Dolphin
to proceed to santo Domingo and join
the gunboats Nashville and Petrol in
those waters.
It also became known yesterday that
1t is intended to send to Santo Domingo,
probably today. two special commission
ers from the Department Of State, who
will head the party of observers at
the elections on December Is. According
to present program at the State Depart
ment, Hugh S. Gibson, until recently
secretary of legation at Havana, and J..
II. Stabler, attached to the Latin
American division of the State DEPART
ment. will be Mr.. Bryan's representa-
tives in watching the Dominican cleo
tons.
It is believed that the placing Of a few
observers in the Dominican provinces
will not effect anything like super
vision of the elections by the United
States. 1t is hoped, however, that the
general knowledge that the United
States has representatives in some Of the
more important districts will have a good
moral effect, and prove conducive TO a
better atmosphere than usually sur
rounds an election in Latin-American
republic.

VOTE ON HETCH HETCHY
BILL EXPECTED TODAY
Senator Borah Wages War on I'm
provement-Advocates Admit
Lost Ground.

Another day in the Senate was de.
voted to the consideration of the Hetch
Hetchy bill, which is to be voted on
today.
Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, con-
cluded his speech in opposition to it, and
Senator Borah occupied the floor yester-
day afternoon and last night, waging a
war on the proposal to authorize the
city of San Francisco to build reser-
voir and impound the waters of the
Hetch Hetchy stream for municipal pur-
poses.
Senator Borah opposed the improve
ment on the ground that the grant was
too broad, and that the city of San Fran
cisco would gain extraordinary conces-
sions to the detriment of settlers and
wouId-be settlers on more than 1000 acres
Of irrigable land in the San Joaquin
Valley.
Senator Borah's speech was an effect
i've one The advocates OF the bill claim
more than fifty votes. but admitted yes
terday that they have lost some ground
and that the vote probably will be too
close for comfort. They were fearful
yesterday that a plan might be worked
by the opponents of the bill to break q
quorum today and prevent a vote by
compelling the Senate to adjourn foI
want of a quorum.
In concluding his speech, Senator Borah
declared himself in favor of public own
ership. under conditions which he sug-
gested might occur.
At the night session Senator Lane OF
Oregon criticised the bill because it con-
ferred on the city Of San Francisco right
TO impound more water than was needed
for city uses. Senator Kern and SEN
ator Pittman also spoke at the night
session, which was without other special
incident.

JUSTICE GOULD HOLDS
TAX ON BANKS IS JUST
Upholds Districts Contention thai
Levy on Gross Earninss Is
Franchise Matter.

The contention of the District OF Co
lumbia that the tax imposed by the per-
sonal tax law upon the gross earnings
of banks and trust companies Is a fran
chise tax, and must be collected on the
gross earnings. without any regard to
what they comprise, was yesterday sus-
tanned by Justice Gould
The court sustained a demurrer filed
by the District to suit to recover
81, 80. So brought by the Union Trust Com
pany to test the validity of the tax Inn
posed on rents from real estate partly
occupied by the company and partly
under rental and on the income on Its
capital and its surplus invested in stocks,
bonds and mortgages. The tax sought
to be recovered had been paid under pro-
fest.
Justice Gould declared that these rents
and incomes. from invested capital are
properly subject to taxation under the
personal tax law, which does not consti-
tute, as claimed by the company, double
taxation.

GIVES ASPECTS OF EDUCATION.
Dr. YOcum speaks mt Federal school
mems Club Dinner.

Dr. A. D. Yocum, Of the University of
Pennsylvania, spoke on Some Current
Tendencies in Education" at the dinner
OF the Federal Schoolmen's Club at the
Continental Hotel last night DIR. Yocum
declared that there are three aspects
from which the value of education may
be judged.
The first is the direct preparation for
life; the second is the value as a general
discipline for the individual. and the
third is the value in keeping an open
door to specialization.
The informal discussion that followed
gathered around the problem as to
whether the scientific handling OF the
problem Of education was going to give
the answer as to the content or public
opinion. based upon the principle OF need
and science.
William Lincoln Brown, chief clerk of
the copyright division OF the Library of
Congress, was elected to membership at
the business meeting which preceded the
dinner.
