a stab wound in the region of his heart
and his condition is said to be critical
His brother, whose home is at 622 9Th

to some of the coored passengers about
their loud and profane language and that
he took hand in a row between two of
them.
The conductor was being handled rough
ly. it is said, when some Of the white pas
sengers went to his assistance and at
tempted to auell the disturbance. Then,
it is stated. the color line was drawn. and
one of the colored men called for a pistol.
saying he would kill every white man in
the car.
No pistol was produced. however. but
knives, 1t Is alleged, were used freely.
Arthur s. Timmons. who resides at s
NJ street northwest. suffered a disloca-
ton of his right thumb while the row
was in progress.

CHECK ON THE PLANS
FOR BOTANIC GARDEN
Project for It's Removal to Rock
Creek Park Delayed in
House.
Absence of Representative Slayden
Causes Bill to Temporarily Lose
Place on Calendar.

The project of removing the Botanic
Garden from its present site at the foot
of Capitol Hill and placing it in the
midst of ioi-aCre arboretum in Rock
Crek Park received temporary setback
in the House late Yesterday afternoon,
although the need for the change was
explained by Representative Mann of
Illinois and others. The bill to effect the
removal was taken up. but the absence
of Representative Slayden of Texas,
chairman of the committee on library,
which has the bill in charge was partly
responsible for the failure of the meas
ure to pass. 1t was stricken from the
unanimous consent calendar. merely, and
can be taken up again al another time.
The bill provides that the garden be
removed to the more spacious area of
Rock Creek Park. and be placed under
the control of the Secretary OF Agricul-
ture. At present the garden is under the
control of the Joint committee on Ii
brary. The measure has the support of
the Department of Agriculture, and a
much wider rangs of usefulness for the
institution has been planned under the
new project.
Explanation of the Bill.
Representative Mann, in explaining the
bill. said that the present Botanic Gar
den las 1t stands is almost a farce COM
pared with what it should be, and COM
pared with botanic gardens maintained
by other nations" Mr.. Mann is the gar
dening expert of the House, and claims
to visit the garden more frequently than
any other member
He explained the proposed change fur
ther:
I'VE have out at the north end of
Rock Creek Park quite piece of land
which is not developed at all. More or
less of it is open, and more or less of it
is covered with timber. If it is opened
it will be readily accessible to street car
lines The thought of the Department
of Agriculture. including DR.. Galloway
and those connected with him. was that
II they could have the use Of this ground
out there for the Botanic Garden without
interfering with the place that is.there
they could use the vacant spaces in the
way of planting and experimenting with
out any extra expense to the govern
ment, and not only have a Botanic Gar
den worth many times the one that is
down here for exhibition purposes, but
also one that would be Of great value to
the government in the way of planting
trees which take many years to matura
Now, the Botanic Garden here is prac-
tically gone, and this Grant Monument
will be dedicated next october"
