When a boy he was apprenticed TO

his powers i'm this direction. For fifty
years he has continued to execute the
most beautiful works of art, mostly in
mosaics. IL is said that every piece of
work he did was a masterpiece. ana the

When the suit has been disposed of

He has already been under treatment

physicians said was inevitable was de-

CITY club luncheon Saturday. The time Is

rapidly catching up. and the commission
contemplated in a bill soon to be pre-
sented to the legislature will transform
New York in decade so that some parts
OF it will not be recognizable. The great
problem is to reduce congestion. and for
this purpose there is need of rapid tram

CITY HEADS 0vERRULED
IN FISH WHARF DECISION
Court Holds Cargoes Must Be
Landed on the Municipal
Dock.

The regulation passed by the Com
missioners April s, 1913, setting forth
that it shall not be necessary for steam
boat companies to land fish at the
municipal fish wharf, on Water street
between 18th and 18th streets south
west was nullifed by ruling made by
Judge Mullowny in the Police Court to-
day The court held that the regulation
is contrary to the provision in the APP
preparation bill. approved March 4. 1913.
which arbitrarily fixes the municipal
wharf as the only place in the District
of Columbia where fish that are to be
sold in the city may be landed.
The ruling was made on a motion in
troduced by Attorney George F. Havell.
who represented Martin L. Sterling and
Norman F. Turner. wholesale fish deal
ers. charged with refusing to pay
wharfage fees on fish landed at the
Steamboat Company. and consigned to
them. The motion asked that the in
formations be quashed.
Represents Many Dealers.
Attorney Hayell represents fourteen
wholesale dealers. who have their
places of business in various parts OF
town. and are going to fight out the
question of landing the fish at the
municipal wharf and paying the fec
prescribed by law for wharfage and
inspection. The law approved last
March fixes certain fees to be paid for
landing and inspecting fish. and the
dealers who land their f1sh at the
steamboat wharves have decided not
to submit to paying such fees for ad-
vantages or benefits they have not re-
ceived and do not wish to receive.
If an arrest is made charging a vio-
lation of this law. the constitutionality
of the law will be attacked. Mr.. Havell
declared today. The principal conten-
ton will be that the law is class legis-
lation and does not afford all citizens
the equal protection and rights guar
anteed them in the Constitution.

CARNEGIE SAYS ABBOTT
HAS WANDERED ASTRAY
Takes Issue With Views on the
Subject of Peace-Gives
True Panacea.

NEW YORK. May 24.-Before sailing
for Europe today Andrew Carnegie gave
out a statement in which he takes issue
with DR.. Lyman Abbott on the subject
of peace. He refers to Dr. Abbott as
our lamented ally who has recently
wandered astray," and characterizcs as
an astounding solution his recent declara-
ton that there are two ways of pro-
noting peace-one by making our nation
so weak that it cannot fight. and the
other by making it SO strong that it
need not fight"
This "panacea" can succeed. Mr.. Car
neeie saws only by convincing nations
from war that they had reached
one class or the other-either weak or
strong. The history of Europe, he de-
clares. shows that 1.-The defeated nation

Marriage Method Replaced.

'.The hoop skirt Of feminism has given
away to the hobble skirt of the feminist.
The circuitous method OF marriage as the
only way for a woman to pursue has been
replaced by the short cut to making a
living. This is all through the advent OF
the business woman. In other words,
woman has taken the place of .weeman.'
Woman has become unit in the CON-
mercial scheme.
Therefore the change Is not in the
woman, but in the world; not In the sex.
but in the scheme. The laws of yester-
day do no: fit the need. and votes for
women is hut a new readjustment for
filling the need" -

OREGON SENATOR
FIGHTS INDIAN BILL
Lane Produces Climax by His
Threat to Resign If Tribes
Are Ignored.

Wrath of Senator Lane of Oregon at
the loose method of recommending In
dian appropriations by the Senate In
dian Affairs Committee has forced that
committee to seek itemized and classi-
fed information concerning proposed en-
penditures
For years the Indian bill has been
made I'D In lax fashion, with Senators
voting for items about which they had
scant information. The matter has been
the subjcct of much complaint. Yester-
day, in the Indian Committee. SenaIor
Lane brought the situation to a dra-
mtic climax by jumping up from his
seat at the committee table and threat
ening to resign unless he could get de-
tails Of the estimates.
Flineing his copy of the bill or the
table. the Oregon Senator angrily de-
clared:
Unless / can get some details of
these estimates, l shall resign from the
committee
He added that. while the loose way Of
dealing with the items might satisfy
. his colleagues. it did not suit him. His
colleagues, who were struck with sur
prise. sought to assure him that all the
information he sought was in the House
reports. But this did not satisfy Mr..
Lane. The committee had under con-
sideration the ~Stimate of $4,000 for the
I Carlisle SchoC.

BEATTY TOATTACK

Aviator in Columbia BipIane

Another worlds flying record may go
by the board this week and the lau-
rels worn by Tourney. the French
aviator. for making a sustained fight
of thirteen hours and seventeen min
utes, may grace the brow of George
Beatty. If the weather is favorable
Beatty has fitted up a Columbia BIZ
plane with extra large gasoline res

set a new endurance record at Col

! been for the inclement weather.
Should the Wright aviator succeed
in keeping of the ground longer than
did Tourney it would be the first new
| mark to be set this year, ana would
| be an auspicious beginning for Ameri-
| can flyers who are planning a program
more ambitious than any ever Yet at
| tempted in this country.
One event in which several men are
interested will be the flying boat

Of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
The route will cover about $40 miles,
and the start will be made July ).
Ten entries. including Lieut.. John

of Washington; Tom Benoist and Hugo
Robinson have already been received.
! while clubs and municipalities at the
various controls along the route are
planning many entertainments for the
| contestants.
The Smithsonian Institution, which
will soon convert the Langley labora-
| tory into a national aerod ynamic ldI-
| oratory, has asked the Government 10
| name several experts to serve on the

and the expectation is that Capt. w. /:
Chambers, L. 5. NJ; Major Russell, OF
tie Signal Corps; Director Stratton OF
the Bureau of Standards. and Prof.

| will be among those chosen.
