b|RNEY DEFENDS
MARKET COMPANY
Proposition for United States
to Take Over Washington
Corporation Discussed.
JOHNSON BILL IN HOUSE
SUBJECT OF CRITICISM
Attorney Regards the Measure as in
Effect Confscatory-Appeals
to Congress.

Asserting that the Johnson bill to turn
over the Washington Market Company 5
property to the United States is unjust.
and that it was reported hastily to the
House, the company has sent to every
member of the Senate and House state
ment showing it's position regarding the
matter, concerning which statements
have heretofore appeared in The Star re-
fecting the position of Cha rman John
son. Arthur a. Birney. speaking for the
company, In statement says. the bill
ignores many facts, and especially disre-
CARDS decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States.
Says the statement to United States
senators and representatives:
THE market company does not make
any objection to the taking over of Cen
ter market by Congress, either under the
thirty-year clause in its charter of May
y, 1870 to be carried on as a govern
ment market, or under the power of emf
nent domain for the purpose of clearing
on all buildings now on the Mall; but it
does strenuously object to an immediate
repeal of it's charter and to certain other
clauses in the present bill which are un-
justly designed TO impair or destroy the
method of valuation of the property pre-
scribed by Constitution and laws
Comment on the Bill.
In discussing the johnson bill, Mr.
Birney said today:
Il. The Market Company is to be pun
1shed for supposed offenses. alleged to
have been committed forty years ago.
The first paragraph of the bill pro-
vides for the repeal of the market COM
PAM 5 charter This would destroy the
corporation, disable it from conducting
any business whatever, and force it into
liquidation. The injustice of this will be
apparent when it is remembered that the
companys activities are not confined to
Center market. 1t also owns and con-
trols a great cold storage warehouse and
ice-making plant in south Washington.
constructed upon land on which the gov
ernment never had the slightest interest.
and as to which business it has never
asked or received any consideration from
the United States.
Bonds secured on this cold storage and
ice plant are held by many investors.
Why should this business be closed Up?
The bill does not provide and could not
lawfully provide for the taking over OF
this warehouse and business. yet the re-
pea. provision would disable the market
company from it's continuance.

Proposed Commission.

B." The valuation commission is to be
of three persons, non-residents of the Dis
trict of Columbia, to be appo nted by
the President, who are to act without
the aid of a court to advise them upon
the rules of law to govern them, and
from whose determination of the value
of the Center market property and of
the offsets required TO be made there is
TO be no appeal. The unfairness of this
provision must be apparent. Strangers TO
values Of labor and materials are to be
brought here to pass upon the worth of
this great plant, and are to be wholly
uncontrolled i'll their conclusions as to
the rules of law TO govern their delib-
erations. ! am not aware of any legis-
lative act which so ciear-y indicates dis

Examination Made.

An examination made by Prof Petit,
Prof. Bordas and DR.. Colin has furnished
a very simple explanation Of a case
which to the good people of Bussus-Bus-
suel conveyed an idea of the super
natural.
The girl, Raymonde Bellard. affords a
highly developed example OF the dermo-
graphic skin-a cuticle so responsive to
pressure that figures or letters traced
upon 1T by the finger nail appear after
an interval In raised red outline. Ray
monde is the possessor of a specially
susceptible vaso-motor system. and pres
sure upon the minute blood vessels in her
skin is sufficient to arrest the flow OF
blood, which at once dilates the vessels
| along the line of pressure.

Ever since he broke into the big

the stick laurels, with Joe Jackson. Ty

erages, being holdout, but Napoleon
Lajoie is right up at the top. Jackson
is way down the list to date. and

see some new faces figure in the bat

LOOKING To Walsh
TO LAND PENNANT
SpitbaIIer Out After New Lau-
FeIS This Season

Chicago, April 24-"Big Ed" Walsh
is out to take a record in the pitching
line. The spit ball king declares that
he will participate in about seventy
five games this season and win two
thirds of them, too Walsh is now in
rare form, and evidence of this can be
gained from the games he has taken
part in this season,
In the ninth inning of recent game
"a ST. Louis with the Browns Pitcher
LANCE walked three players in success
sion and Walsh was called upon ~
Manager Callahan. Ed obliged his
boss by striking out the next three
Early this spring it was said that big
Ed" was suffering with a lame arm,
but it now seems the report was with
out foundation. Manager Callahan
says that with Walsh in his best form
the White Sox are right in line for the
pennant.
A short time ago President Comis-
key of the White Sox club said that
he considered Walsh the greatest
pitcher that ever g:aced the mound. In
talking about the star twirler Comis-
key said walsh has everything -
great curve, excellent control, cool
head and the most elusive spitball :
have ever seen. Walsh can also play
in the outfield and can hold down first
base as we'll as many in the position
to-day He is also a fine hitter and
can run the base as speedily and as
heady as many of the regulars in the
game to-day. 1t will be long time
before Walsh's equal is found"
