Mr.. Woodward referred to the fact that
the stone had been concealed from sight
for more than half century. The stone
was set up in April, 1871. he said. but the
sea wall in front of the lighthouse at
Jones point was built in 1851. concealing
the ancient landmark. Until the stone

ter's direction. the wall was opened and
the sandstone monument was found. The
opening in the wall has been made per-
manent and the stone inclosed in a &C.
ment cage. so that 1t is now easily Access
sible.
Following Mr.. Woodwards address Dr.

sketch Of Sayles ]. Bowen, former mayor
of Washington. DR.. Tindall was his Sec
rotary. He said that it was during May
or Bowen's administration that the first
bituminous pavement was laid in Wash
ington and the plan Of using a portion of
the roadways for parking was suggested
Mayor Bowen was also instrumental, Dr.
Tindall said, in establishing public
schools for cOlored children. He lived to
the age of eighty-three years and died in
Washington In 1896. His grave in Con-
gressional cemetery is unmarked, DR..
Tindall said.

An Open Letter to the
Doctors.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.

There is man named Friedman, who
has come over here from Germany with
some sort Of medicine he says will cure
consumption.
Speaking for folks in general, for the
great mass Of the laity, who are sup
posed to look pleasant, take your pills
and pay your bills, / have a few hints
which it might be worth your while to
read, mark, learn and inwardly digest"
to wit, namely:
We don't know and have no means of
knowing whether friedman is a faker
That is your business and we want you
IL attend to 1t, and not strike attitudes
and stroke Your whiskers.
Go to 1t, please, the very simplest,
most direct way possible. Catch Doc
Friedman IL you can, corner him and
search him: see IL he has the goods or if
he is a running mate to Doc Cook.
Don't let anything interfere with this.
We don't care a hang about your medical
ethics or your professional dignity. Cut
the red tape, stop side-stepping and let
US know by return mail II this German
has really good hand, or II 1t consists
of four hearts and one spade.
Don't explain, don't talk back to us. get
these medical colleges for, IL in a real
crisis you hand us a nice line Of talk
instead of telling us whether a given
serum Is genuine or counterfeit?
Tuberculosis. according to your reports.
Is the deadliest disease In the country.
There are thousands of homes on which
its shadow lies. Ii every victim of 1t in
New York were to be brought to your
hospitals the streets would be packed by
as heart-breaking an assembly as ever
got together I'm the days when the halt
and the blind crowded the way of the
Messiah
IN the presence of SO tremendous a hui
man fact we want no trifiing. We must
have the truth. II friedman is a
charlatan make the fact clear, and we
will gibbet him at once upon the tree of
public opinion. II he has knowledge of
something that can stop the most APP
pailing plague of modern life. why, moth
ing Is too good for him; he shall have
diamonds for breakfast.
Please get down to business, gentle
men, We have had a deal OF more or
less blind faith in you. Now is the time
for you to make good. Move quick, or
wen go and join the thought cure.

IN THE PINEAPPLE TRADE.
Schooner J. Edwin Kirwan to Ply
Between Bahamas and Baltimore.

The two-masted bay schooner J. Edwin
Kirwan. formerly frequent visitor to
this city, has been chartered for the pine
apple trade between the Bahamas and
Baltimore. and will make two round trips
and possibly more. She is now fitting
out for the service and within the next
few days will leave there on a voyage
considered long for so small craft
According to reports the crop of pine
apples in the Bahamas, will be good this
season, and other schooners will be char
tered for this service. Several years ago
fleet of thirty or more bay schooners
were employ ed each summer in the pine
apple running trade, but the heavy tariff
placed on the fruit stopped its importa-
ton. and since that time only a vessel
or two has been employed I'm the work
each summer. The prospect now is that
the pineapple-running feet will be larger
this summer than it has been for several
years,

new BALKAN WAR
SEEMS POSSIBLE
Allies Apparently on Verge Of
DisintegratiOn.

London, May 28.--Peace in the Bal.
kans seems a long way off and the
Balkan alliance, which held together
long enough to bring about the de-
feat of Turkey, apparently is on the
verge of disintegration before the al
lies reap the fruits of their costly
victory
In fact, a new Balkan war more
serious perhaps than the fight against
the Moslems now is iminent
In diplomatic circles Servia's rep
reservations to Bulgaria amount to an
ultimatum and as the government at
Sofia is said to be not likely to grant
the demands of Servia the alliance is
apt to be broken in SO far as it ap-
plies to Bulgaria and Servia.
Although it was said that no fight
ing was going on Greece and Bull
garia are still in a state of war
around Saloniki, and it is believed
these two states will break their pact.
1t is believed both Greece and Ser
via are relying on outside aid in their
actions and M. Danieff, the Bulgarian
peace plenipotentiary now in London,
is authority for the declaration that
Bulgaria regards the present situa-
ton as intolerable and will yield
neither to Servia nor to Greece.

FEARS COURSE OF NATION
Head of Santa re DistrustfuI oil
Country's Political Future.

Chicago, May 28.-E. p. Ripley,
president of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad is distrustful of the
country's political future. He has no
downright fear that the United States
is heading for disaster; the tendency
may be controlled in time to prevent
a catastrophe. There are certain
signs which make him hopeful that
the headlong course will be stopped,
but he is far from sure.
The house and senate, in his view,
are dangerously radical Wilson, to
him, is as yet an unknown quantity.
The one compensating factor in
Washington is that which is relative
to the railways. He believes that the
interstate commerce commission lis
less perilous than it was, say a year
ago.

FUTURE COURSE In DOUBT

wen prominent for Many Years in Of

er the Wool or Sugar Interests in
Fight Against Underwood Tariff Bill.
Washington. May 2S.-The small
army of tariff lobbyists" which has
been occupying Washington since the
Underwood bin passed the house is
in state of confusion because of
President Wilson's sudden and vigor-
GUS attack on the numerous, indus
trious and insidious lobby"
Men prominent for many years in
official life, including former United
States senator's, now identified with
either sugar or wool interests in the
organized effort against the Under
wood bill, were disconnected after
reading the presidents declaration
and speculating on it's probable effect.
Senator Simmons, chairman of the
finance committee, reiterated his
statement that the lobbyists were not
getting very far, adding that never in
his legislative experience had he ever
seen so determined and so extensive
a lobby. The expense of the wool and
sugar lobbies in Washington alone, to
say nothing of the expense of litera.
ture, circulation and advertising,
amounts to thousands of dollars a day.
More than a hundred representatives
of varied industries were clamoring
at the doors of the senate finance sub
committee rooms to be heard before
the hearings close.
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, Republic.
an, was an early caller at the White
House to commend President Wilson
for his stand against lobbyists.
