MONUMENTS TO THE POTATO.
There Are Several Handsome Ones IN
England and Germany.

England and Germany.
Although America is the original
home Of the potato, II Is only In Eu-
rope that monuments have been erect
ed to honor the familiar vegetable
There are several such monuments In
Germany and England costing large
sums Of money and presenting the
work Of famous sculptors. The most
elaborate is that ut OffeRburg. which
honOrs Sir Francis Drake as the first
man to Introduce potatoes into Europe
The monument consists of an excel
lent statue of Drake, rising from an
elaborate base decorated with gar
lands Of the potato plant, with full
grown tubers. Several tablets are
placed about the base stating that
Drake first brought the potato to Eu-
rODe with various laudatory inserip-
tions as to the value OF the potato to
civilization. A similar monument to
Drake and the potato has been erected
at Murz.
As a matter OF historic fact, Drake
had nothing whatever to do with in
PRODUCING the potato to Europe. 1t is
generally supposed that Sir Walter Ra.
leigh was the discoverer Of the potato,
and stories are told of his appearing
on the streets OF London wearing
buttonhole bouquet of potato blossoms
in order to attract attention to the new
vegetable.
According to one version, the potatoes
were first planted by Drake in Ireland
The fact is that the potato was first
taken from America by the Spanish
long before the exploration Of either
Drake or Raleigh. Pittsburgh Dis

EXCISE BOARD STILL
CONSIDERS APPEAL s
Decision as to Applications for
Two Open Licenses Will Soon
Be Made.

With the number Of saloons in the
District 297. three less than the maxi
mum allowed by law, careful considera-
ton is being given by the Excise Board
to the claims Of twenty-seven applicants
who are seeking permission to file for
NAL applications for barroom licenses.
The problem the board is called upon
to face, it was said. Is almost as great
as the one 1t confronted in reducing
the total number Of saloons to not more
than 800. Many of the applicants, 1t
was stated. have excellent grounds for
asking for licenses, and the desire of
the board is to give fair and fun con-
sideration to each case.
Formal permission to make appllca-
ton for a barroom license at 5Ol Four
teenth street has been given p. e. and
E. A. Miller. whose license at 1349 f
street was refused under the provision
which prohibits the maintenance Of
more than three saloons in one block
between intersecting streets. Decision
as to the other two who will be per-
mitted to file formal application. it was
said today. probably will not be reached
before Wednesday or Thursday. Hear
ings will be held in each case.
A. f. Shoemaker. attorney for the
Anti-Saloon League, said today that he
is preparing to protest against the
granting of a license to the Miller BROTH
ers, on the ground that opening an en-
trance from Fourteenth street does not
change the location of the saloon.

men to Work for Federal
, Amendment.

Miss Cristobel Pankhurst, the English
suffragette addressed two audiences at
the home Of Mrs. John Jay White, 2S06
Massachusetts avenue northwest, yes
terday afternoon.
The vote for women of America is
a certainty" she said Nothing can
prevent it. Developments have reached
such a state that the nation needs you
and your opinions. 1t is not equitable
to have one-half the women free to
vote and the other half bonded, as
might be said Of the situation in this
country
She urged support OF the fight for a
Federal amendment.
Miss Pankhurst said the enfranchise-
ment OF the whole Of America would
be the greatest argument to Prime
Minister Asquitfl for suffrage in Great
Britain, and she expressed the hope
that its attainment would soon be real
lied.
To offset some of the costs of the
tight for the passage Of the Federal
amendment. nearly 81 900 was raised by
the women at yesterdays meetings.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Con-
gressionai Union, explained the neces-
sity for funds.

Secretary Considers Plan to
Keep Constellation Here for
Congress.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels and
an official inspection of the frigate
Constellation, now on exhibition at the
Washington navy yard. at o'clock
this afternoon. After this inspection
Secretary Daniels will determine wheth-
er il will be practicable to keep the
Constellation here until the cOnvening

give members OF the House and Sem
ate an opportunity to visit the boat
before it returns to its station at New

No formal reply has been made by
Secretary Daniels to the request OF the
District Commissioners that the Con-
stellation be kept in Washington to
become one of thu historic points Of
interest in the Capital. A reply will
be made in a few days. Secretary
Daniels and Admiral Blue are both
known to be favorable to the plan of
keeping the Constellation in Washing
ton. but at the time Congress appro-
priated $4,000 to restore the friSate as
near as possible to its condition OF a
century ago il was with the under

bration.
The interest aroused by the historic
sea fighter, which wGs the terror of
the seas in the war Of 1872, since ii
was brought to Washington for e1-
hibition purposes, has brought a de-
nnand for its permanent retention here
that may induce the Navy Department
to change its plans. If sufficient in
terest is taken by returning members
Of Congress II is thought possible that
the Constellation may remain.

Supreme Court Ruling
Holds No Jurisdiction

Land made by the deposit Of silt
by the Mississippi river since the sale
of the adjoining land for taxes figured
in a decision of the Supreme Court to-
day which in effect sustained the de-
cision of the Supreme Court Of Missis-
siDpi in favor of George Leavenworth.
The Supreme Court of the United States
held it had no jurisdiction.
Leavenworth title was based on the
fact that he bought the adjoining land
following the establishment of it's title
by a tax sale. J. F. Smith and the
Paepcke-Leicht Lumber Company
sought to show that a part Of this land
existed Immediately after the civil war
and long before the listing of properties
for taxation which preceded the tax
sale. They also denied that the sale
of the property at the tax sale carried
title to "accretions' to that land from
the river. The tract in question COM
prised over 600 acres.

TWO RIVERS CASE DECIDED.

The long pending Hamilton lthen
assessment case has been settled by the
supreme court. Fred Anthem has been
elected assessor annually for four or five
years at Two Rivers with at least a
tacit understanding that he would raise
the assessments OF the big factories
there. Three years ago he did give
the Hamilton Company's 5 assessm INT of
manufactured stock big boost. The
company appeared before the Board Of
Review and offered testimony. The
board has no jurisdiction to change the
assessors figures without sworn testi-
mony as TO the value Of tho property.
Althen claimed that the company's 5
testimony was not direct testimony Of
the stock but merely inferential and
that did not confer on the Board Of
Review authority to make any change
In the assessors figures. The board
however lowered the assessment. The
parties went into court on stipulated
statement OF facts, sort OF moot case,
and the circuit court upheld the board.
Althen took the case to the eupreme
court and the company has now won
again and the assessment IN corrected
by the Board OF Review is upheld.
