Indications Point to Increased Speed
on Legislative Program
This Week.

Democratic leaders in the Senate ex-
pect to get up steam and move along
more rapidly on the trust legislative pro-
gram this week. Two bills are still in
committee, the Clayton bill and the rail-
road securities or Rayburn bill. The
Federal trade commission bill is in the
Senate and has been debated in a des-
ultry sort OF way the last week
Many Senators object to acting upon
the Federal trade commission bill until
the other trust bills come into the Senate.
Chairman NewIands told his colleagues
that the railroad securities bill would be
ready to be reported before the close
Of this week. but he declined to venture
a guess as TO when the Clayton bill would
be reported.
Interfering with the progress Of the
trust legislative program are the river
and harbor bill involving S0,00o.ocO in
appropriations for local improvements,
and the sundry civil bill. which is ready
to be taken I'D.

CONVICT SHIP SUCCESS"
LEAVES US THIS WEEK
Floating Hell" Is Going to Philadel-
phia to Be Fitted Out for
Pacific Cruise.

The old British convict ship Success" :"
which has been lying at the Seventh
street wharf for the past month, is about
to leave Washington, according to a
statement made last night by Capt. d.
II. Smith. her commander.
Capt. Smith reports that more people
have visited the Success" in Washing
ton than In any city In the United States
in which the old floating prison has yet
been exhibited. with the one exception
OF New York.
He believes this to be due to the fact
that there are more educated people. in
proportion to the population. in WASH
ington than In any other city of Its size.
Owing to the large number Of persons
connected with the government depart
ments, there is a great percentage. Capt.
Smith figures. OF widely read people In
this city. a majority OF whom knew Of
the old convict ship before the vessel
came to Washington. because OF the i'm
portant part the vessel has played In
history
This is the last week that the vessel
will be seen in Washington and at the
end of II she Is to cast of for Phila-
delphia, where she will be provisIoned
and reftted for her coming voyage to
San Francisco. where she Is to be sta
toned during the Panama Canal Exposi-
tion.
No changes are to be made in the ship
at Philadelphia for her coming voyage.
part OF which will be through the Pana-
ma Canal this winter. The vessel is
said by naval constructors connected
with the Navy Department to be as
stanch today as she was when she was
built In I7s0 at Moplmain. British India.

U. S. IN HONOR BOUND
LEAD ALL NATIONS
Rev. DR.. Clark Calls America Land
of Providence" and Warns
Against Traitors.

The fatalistic philosophy that God
takes care of fools, children, and the
United States, will not reach far enough
to save a people from responsibility for
their sins" said Rev. DR.. Lucius C
Clark, speaking at the patriotic service
held at Hamline NJ. E. Church last night.
DR. Clark's subject was "A Nation OF
Providence"
America is not going to fail. but she
can fall Nations of the world are de-
feated by stronger nations without, but
it they die it is because Of enemies with
in.
Men who engender war and stir up
strife within or without the nation for
the purpose Of personal material gain,
should be cast out of our heritage OF
good citizenship. We need a Federal
prison for the assassins OF our patriotic
American privileges. Our nations past
has been held securely in the hand of
God. He hath not dealt so with any
nation
In this destiny fixed nation no man
must be a slave. Slavery could not win.
When this providential nation shall have
once more thrown of from her people
the binding shackles OF the liquor traffic
it will not be a quarter of a century
until every civilized nation in the world
will have again followed her example.
She is in destiny bound to lead

OLD DUNK IS NOT A BAD ELEPHANT, SAYS
DR. FRANK BAKER, SUPERINTENDENT OF THE
zoo, WHO AGAIN DENIES NEW YORK STORIES

Gunda. the big elephant in the New
York Zoo. who has stood chained by
two legs for two years without lyins
down, unknowingly has kicked up just
a little row in the washington Zoo.
But perhaps the wicked Gunda. whose
fate must be either life servitude In
chains or release by a bullet isn't
wholly responsible.
william Snyder. the head keeper at
the New York Zoo, recently stepped
on the toes OF DR.. Frank Baker. super
intendent of the Washington Zoo, by
reviving the old story that Dunk. the
tremendous elephant who has been the
delight OF children for twenty years at
the roo. SIS a bad elephant"
Snyder was discussing the fate OF
his own ward. Gunda, who has become
the subject of a debate that is waxing
warm In New York, especially among
the members OF the Humane Society.
DR.. william, T. Hornaday, director of
the ZOO, says that Gunda either must
remain chained up the rest Of his life
by two legs or else be shot Some kind
people believe IL would be better TO
put Gunda out of his misery shortly
and quickly; others believe that Gunda
would behave himself II he were given

COME ON, SENATE, GET
A MOVE ON D. c. BILL !
House Urging Upper Body to Consider
Items Separately-Kellar Claim
Causes Delay.

Friends Of the District are bringing
pressure to bear upon the Senate con-
ferees on the District bill to induce them
10 present the various items In dispute
to the Senate for separate action upon
each item. So far Senator Smith, chair
man OF the Senate conferees, has refused
to present the items except en- bloc.
There is substantial ground for the be-
lief that If the Senate conferees will OBJ
tain from their house separate votes on
the Borland amendment and the Page
rider-Section g. which provides for the
turning back into miscellaneous receipts
all surplus District revenues-the House
conferees will abide by that vote
The charge is being generally credited
that the Senate conferees are refusing
this action through fear that the Senate
will not sustain them longer in their in
sistence upon the third item in dispute.

Gunda's former cell-mate met a tragic
end because he insisted on attacking his
keeper every time he came within reach
Of his alert trunk. that Keeper Snyder
stepped lightly on DR.. Bakers toes. For
the subject of Dunk. and all that Is not
entirely complimentary to him. Is q
touchy one 10 discuss with DR. Baker.
Yes. I've been. reading about Gunda's 5
bad behavior" said Snyder. It's just
such an argument as they had down in
Washington q short time ago. They have
bad elephant in the zoo down there
and were going to shoot him. But the
newspapers and public got interested and
II ended by a lot of money being appro-
priated 10 build a special house for him.
and now he runs around without any
chains on"
When DR.. Baker was asked last night
what he thought Of the nerve Of a New
Yorker to call Dunk bad elephant
DR.. Baker lost all patience. Its all a
pack OF stories about Dunk being a bad
elephant. and you know IL. Why we've
never had the slightest trouble with him.
Some New York paper printed yarn a
year or so ago that Dunk was going
crazy and was dangerous and ever since
then everybody has been jumping to con-
clusions." The fact Is, Dunk is such a
touchy subject with DR. Baker. the re-
porter hesitated to tackle Il again and
when he put down the receiver DR.. Baker
was stlll insisting that Dunk was the
best elephant that ever graced a zoo.

CURB MARKET PROVES
FINE FOR HOUSEKEEPERS
Shoppers Can Get Fresh County
Products at Northeast Market
at Low Prices.

The recently installed curb market al
Twelfth and II streets northeast, has
proved a success, according to Arthur
CowsiII. president Of the Northeast Tenn
pie and Market Company. This feature
of the Northeast Market has been in op-
GRAFTON for two months, but in that time
has become well known to the house
keepers in that section of the city.
Stalls are rented TO farmers who come
in from around Washington, and house
keepers are able to get fresh garden
products for low prices The stalls are
made attractive by awnings to protect
the products from the weather. and by
their cleanliness.
Mr.. Cowsill said the farmers are
pleased with the patronage they get, and
the consumers are glad to get the fresh
vegetables and fruit from the country.
This move in bringing the farmer into
closer touch with the city resident Is
proving an effective means of reducing
the cost Of living" he said.
The curb market Is really an old In
stitution at the Northeast Market, but
not long ago was stopped by the Com
missioners. The farmers and consumers
concerned protested SO hard that II was
opened again two months ago.

LIGHTNING BOLT FEELS
Like KNIFE, SAYS Girl
Miss Arnett. Who Was Struck While
Dancing. Tells at Hospital
How Il Feels"
a WANT TO FISHwALK AGAIN.

With fiery pain in her left arm and her
right side partly paralyZed, pretty B-year
old Nellie Arnett. lies on a cot In the
Emergency Hospital and declares that
the combination OF Potomac. J. Pluvius

MisF Arnett was struck by lightning In
the dancing pavilion at Marshall hall the
evening Of the Fourth just as she and
her partner tripped the last step OF q
6shwalk and had turned to the Ice cream
booth to get refreshments.
Il felt as II some one had thrust a knife
into my side" Miss Arnett said yestsr-
day "A flash OF lightning blinded me at
the same time and ! heard the tremen-
doUs roar OF thunder and with this awful
pain tainted l guess. because 1 didn't
know anything else until I woke up on
the boat coming home.
The fshwalk had nothing to do with
It. Ny own ambition is to be up again 50
that I can dance some more, but never
again will l go down the river in the face
Of a storm"
The young girl was one OF several hun
dred dancers who were standing about
in the pavilion when the fash came. but
she was the only one who experienced any
shCCk. The young man with whom she
was standing and who had hold Of her
right arm did not receive the slightest
shock. He with several volunteers car
ried the CIR. to the steamer where she
remained frcm $50 the time Of the acci-
dent until the regular return trip Of the

the girl escaped death miraculously and
that the only burn she received on her
left ann will heal readily and that her
partial paralysis that cripples her left
arm will be entirely gone in a short time.

WE ARE DRINKING GRASS
Also Carrots - That's What RIcI,
Yellow Color In Milk u.

That the rich yellow color demanded
by the public in dairy products is pri.
martly due to the character of the cows
feed in demonstrated by recent expert
ments carried on by the United States
Department of Agriculture in cooperation
with the Missouri State Experiment Sta
tion. Although to some extent a breed
characteristic. the intensity OF this vel
low color may, within certain limits. be
increased or diminished at will by chang
ing the animals rations.
Chemical tests show that yellow pig
ment in milk consists OF several we'll
known pigments found in green plants.
These pigments pass directly from the
feed into the milk. This explains the
fact that fresh green grass and carrots
increase the yellowness of butter, the
only standard by which the average per-
son judges its richness.
