When one has learned to swim and dive
he is expected to learn to float through

ton. however. are made under the care

Better Physical Development.
DR.. Hudson believes that the increased
interest being taken in swimming will
ultimately become tremendous factor in
the physical development of the youth of
the capital. For this reason he Is in
favor of the establishment of swimming
pools on the Fairgrounds. in order that
boys and girls in every section of the city
may have an opportunity to learn to
swim.
Hours for bathing at the municipal
beach are as follows.
Boys daily from 10 am. to IL m. and
2 to pm. except Sundays and We'd

am. to 12 m and to pm. and after

The beach will close about the middle
of September, with indications pointing
to the biggest attendance record since
it's establishment The cost of operating
it during the summer will have amount
ed to about $3.50.

D. c. MAY PROVIDE
APO0L FOR WOMEN
Popularity of Municipal Bath
ing Beach Calls for
Extensions.

Increased attendance of women at the
municipal bathing beach this season
may lead to the establishment or
pool for their exclusive use next year.
The District Commissioners are con-
sidering the feasibility Of turning over
to the women the pool now maintained
for colored persons. If this plan Is
adopted Congress will be asked to pro-
vide funds for a new beach for colored
patrons. which probably will be located
in the southwest section.
Ladies days" have so increased in
popularity that 1t is evident that steps
soon must be taken to enlarge the
facilities of the bathing beach. AL
ready requests are beginning to pour
in on the District authorities that
women be allowed use Of the pools Sun
days. 1t is claimed that this is the
only day on which shop girls and others
who work during the week may visit
the beach.
Schedule Changes Unlikely.
There is little likelihood Of any changes
being made in the existing schedule how
ever. as it is pointed out that there are
hundreds of men and boys who would
go to the river for swim if they were
not permitted exclusive use of the pools
Sundays, thereby increasing the danger
of drownings.
Backed up by DIR. William B. Hudson.
superintendent, the Commissioners are
desirous of making the beach particular
iy attractive to men and boys. so that
fewer of them will be tempted to visit
the river. 1t is realized. however. that
women are constantly manifesting q
greater interest In swimming. and that
provision soon must be made to meet

Paying Higher Prices.

Why the visitors allow themselves to
be "stung" for the higher prices they
pay Is incomprehensible They can get
everything cheaper at home. II their
home towns are anything like Wash
tngton. They are simply paying the
exorbitant rent and staggering over
head charges of the mammoth New
York stores.
1 saw an article in one of the stores
marked $2.94. The Identical thing I had
seen in a Washington store marked
S1.98. That's good indication of the
general run of prices and the differ
ences.

Six Years Without Fatality.

the Commissioners Will lnciuQe In the
forthcoming estimates an item for the
Six Years Without Fatality.
Commissioner Newman. who recently
visited the beach. expressed himself
as highly pleased over the manner in
which this institution Is being con-
Quoted. Although from 1900 to 1900
daily, there has not been a fatality dur
ing the six years that the institution
has been under the supervision of DR..
Hudson.
An idea Of the responsibility tha. 81
lodged In this official may be gained
from a visit to the beach. Frequently
as many as 500 small boys may be
seen In the water at one time. Half ef
them may be beginners. The most
trivial mishap. such as the humping CT
one boy into another, may cause confu-
sion that would result disastrously,
were not the guards constantly on the
lookout and ready to render assistance
at moments notice.
System obtains throughout the institu-
ton. and it is directly due to this fact
that no fatalities have occurred. Begin
ners are assigned to a pool in which the
water Is not above their heads. Here
they are given an opportunity to get on
friendly terms with the water and learn
the rudimentary principles of swimming.
How Swimming Is Taught.
The so-called broad stroke is taught to
beginners. This method Is preferred by
DR.. Hudson because 1t enables a novice
more easily to keep his head above water
and gain confidence in himself. The side
arm stroke is next acquired. and after
this instruction is given in diving and
floating. The crawl and trudgeon strokes.
which are used in racing. are post-grad-
uate accomplishments
In learning the broad stroke. begin
ners are told to rest the hands on the
bottom In shallow water and practice

bent and brought upward with the

der pardon granted by Governor
Tener. and secretly taken from the
city to begin life anew. She was con-
victed of murder in 1901 and SEN
fenced to be hanged, but four gov
ernors declined to fix a day for her
execution.
After her conviction, petitions were
circulated in many parts of the coun-
try and were signed by thousands of
women. protesting against the execu-
ton of one of their sex. William A.
stone, when governor, refused to fix
a date and passed her case along to
Governor Pennypacker, who let her
death warrant repose in a pigeon
hole, as did also Governors Stuart and
Tener.
Mrs. Edwards case several times
was taken to the board of pardons
but Communication of sentence always
was refused.
Much secrecy was maintained as to
the date of the woman's liberation. Her
pardon arrived last night and she was
released before dawn today. 1t ts- be-
lieved she was taken to Philadelphia,
where she will be placed in an insti-
tuition. She is nearly 20 years old
Mrs. Edwards was convicted of the
murder along with a negro, who was
employed with her husband in a quar-
ry near her home. The husband was
found dead with his head battered in.

Democrat State Platform Has
No Prohibition Plank.
TROUTNAn STILL FOR HARMONY
He win Not Oppose Capper for
Governor.
All the Democrats Are Running
for q. s. Senate.

That J. B. Billiard Of Topeka will
not be a candidate for governor since
Kansas Democracy failed to endorse
national prohibition in its tentative
state platform. is the belief Of Kansas
Democratic leaders in touch with
conditions. Had the Democrats en-
dorsed prohibition and national suf-
frage in their platform last Monday,
it il regarded as quite probable that
Billiard would have become an inde-
pendent candidate for governor on q
resubmission platform.
Since the Hodges Columbus speech,
there has been q movement to induce
Billiard to run for governor. He re-
fused to enter the Democratic pF1-
maries, but is said to have agreed to
make the race as an Independent cam
didate in the November election pro-
vided his party endorsed nationwide
prohibition. The Democrats did not
write platform advocating national
prohibition. There was no fight in
the convention over the plank. It
was merely forgotten.
Governor Hodges, it is claimed, will
make his campaign as an advocate of
national prohibition. But the en-
dorsement of this policy by the party
in their state platform is an entirely
different matter. The party council
may be asked to include the measure
in the state platform to be written in
August. But the party council does
not meet for six months. And many
things can happen in Kansas politics
in six months.

could be vindicated. without resort to

He thought appointments Of receivers
by federal judges should be made from

merce commission. Mr.. TAFT added
that at some later date 1t probably will
be advisable to provide for tho ex-
animation Of the rules OF procedure,

sides Of the federal court work. For
