Crest of Greatest Gold
Shipment Reached

NEW YORK. June 2o.-The crest
OF the greatest gold movement in
recent years was believed to have
been reached today. when gold e,
ports from the United States to
Europe since January / reached ap-
proximate total of s75,0oo,e00 The
last of an unprecedented Government
consignment of $4,000, 900 in gold was
placed today in the New York sub
treasury. New York bankers were
notified that. beginning Monday.
s.ooO.ooo of this s4S,OOO.0oo will be
available daily.
The shipment OF s75,ooo.o 900 In gold
abroad has been IN the shape OF
bars or BRICKS, the standard size of
which Is about the size OF a building
brick.
Stacked end to end, these bricks
OF pure gold would make two piles
each as high as the 750-foot Wool
worth building, with enough brick
remaining to make a third pile $50
feet high. Placed end on end, these
bars would make pile of glittering
gold three times as high as the
Mashington Monument, with enough
metal left over to melt up into
crowning ball worth $4,000.
Reasons For Shipment.
Made up into dollars. placed at
intervals Of three inches, the gold
America has exported to Europe
from January ! up to today would
make a vehtable stream of gold that
would reach from Broadway, New
York, to Market street. San Fran

USE TREATY AS CLUB
AGAINST ROOSEVELT
Colombian Pact Debate Brings
Political Phase of Fight Be-
fore Senate.

Evidence accumulates that the politic-
al enemies Of Roosevelt are bent on
utilizing the Colombia treaty. now be-
fore the Senate for ratification, for the
purpose Of striking at him. This po-
litical phase of the situation Is certain
to add much to the bitterness Of the
controversy over ratification.
Efforts are afoot to get an investi-
cation OF the acquisition of the canal
zone. Some of the Democratic Sena-
tors are talking of It and Congressman
Levy of New York has introduced a
House resolution for an investigation of
the payments Of this country in connec-
ton with the canal.
The opinion prevails that the Ad-
ministration will force the Colombia
treaty out Of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee this session. A ma
jority o fthat committee will follow
the Presidents wishes in this matter.
But 1t will be an entirely different ques-
ton to get two-thirds Of the Senate to
vote for 1t. Such action this session
is unlikely. ~.
The controversy over the Nicaraguan
treaty will be resumed before the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee Mon
day when Judge Douglas will be heard
further. He will be asked about the
fee he expects to get and, perhaps,
about his political activities in tho last
campaign in behalf Of Secretary Of
State Bryan.

Motorman Fined $40 for
Running Down Cyclist

John P. Werres. a motorman on the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany's cars. paid a fine of SO in the
Police Court this morning for running
down a motorcyclist on May q at
Fourth and East Capitol streets and in
juring him so seriously that he spent
a week in the hospital.
Testimony was to the fleet that the
car was running at a high rate Of speed,
and did not slow down when approach
ing the crossing.
Lawrence T. Houston, the man opera
ting the motorcycle, said that, owing
to the trees lining East Capitol street,
1t was impossible for him to see the
car until almost at the crossing, and
when he arrived there the car was
travelling at such a rate OF speed he
could not avoid II.
Eyewitnesses said he was struck with
such force that he was hurled thirty
feet, and the machine was Dragged
for nearly half a block.

amazement Many braved the rain and
ventured on sidewalks to get a better
view OF the oldest OF electrical displays
in the sky.
As seen from the White House, the
base Of the rainbow sprang from the
green fields just behind the monument,
and, as the arch slowly faded overhead,
there was left for a few moments q
dazzling shaft of color seemingly of the
same height of the white grant cbelisk,
standing by its side, as II the monument
were throwing a luminous prismatic
shadow over the swirling mass of violet
amethyst and indigo vapor that formed
the background.
Inside the brilliant rainbow there ap-
peared a huge shield Of bright, FURNISHED
gold. encircled by a boss of ruby, sap
phire and emerald
Wraith-like clouds floated across the
bow. while shafts Of lightning seemed
to be attacking the gorgeous setting,
scattering showers Of electric sparks.

Several reasons arc given for these
vast shipments of gold TO Europe,
according to Wall Street financ:ers.
They say money has been cheap"
In America, so they sent it abroad
where they could get a higher rate
of interest Much of the gold is sent
abroad. II is said, to pay the differ

ports. the latter being larger than
the exports. No small percentage Is
being sent abroad to honor checks of
Americans who are spending the

other portion goes to buy back Amer

or 400 men we're on hand and about

bending every effort toward doing
their part to regain lost ground.
The crop east of the river that is
up is almost perfect, aside from a
somewhat small plant in some locali

unlimited work In the fields, with the
result that cultivation is almost per.
