IS AGAINST HARMFUL
LEGISLATION FOR CITY
Daniel C. Roper Discusses Public
Issues at Clubs
Luncheon.

AN true American citizens agree that
the National Capital should lie main
tanned as the ideal american city. With
these words Daniel q Roper. first as
sistant postmaster general, added his
voice to the nation wide protest that is
being made against legislation by Con
gress harmful TO the District. lie was
the speaker yesterday at the series OF
Wednesday midday 1uncheons which has
been instituted by the Commercial Club.
1t is expected that Senator John Walter
Smith of Maryland, chairman of the Sen
ate District committee. will be the speak
or at the next meeting. This series of
luncheon talks proposes TO give members
a chance to hear matters of public inter-
est in the District discussed.
Mr. Roper told of how club life bet
ters the individual and the community.
THE idea that IL mans family life is in
jured by proper club relationship. he
said, lis erroneous. There is no reason
why, from the standpoint of best op-
portunities of club life, man is not a
better husband and a better father from
the touch and cooperation onered him
by minging in close elbow-touch with
his fellows Not only that but proper
club life gives him broader viewpoint on
the community and on his associates. 1t
makes him a broader and better man.
Advantages of Club Life.
"The clubman finds out that there are
other relationships even beyond the mar
row confines of his own home that can
aid him in becoming more useful to his
family and to the community in which
he lives.
Most troubles. whether between indi-
viduals in the home or between states. are
due to the fact that We do not get into
close enough touch and therefore do not
understand each other.
There can be no question that from
this viewpoint the better clubman the
individual is the better citizen he will be.
There are two viewpoints on life-the
viewpoint that looks on the world as an
opportunity to get out of it all that the
individual can for himself, and the view
point that shows him an opportunity of
putting into the world all that he can for
its betterment Club life gives man the
opportunity of the broader viewpoint.
To Better Community.
Furthermore, the man who is close
ly related to his fellows in the broader
sphere of life is under broader sur
vei1lance, which strengthens his char
acter. This surveillance makes him
cleaner and better. The cleaner he is
the stronger he is
During his discussion of the CONNER
cial Clubs opportunity to better the
community Mr.. Roper said:
washington is peculiar in one re-
spect. 1t is pre-eninently the national
city. and however much we may differ
as to plans to be employed to sustain
1t, all true American citizens agree that
it should be made the ideal American
representative city. for it is the Cap
ital city of the greatest nation, com
posed of the greatest people in the
world"

ROOSEVELT HAS
 THROAT TROUBLE Is Suffering Affection of Larynx as Result of
 Brazilian Trip

London. June 17.-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt is suffering from an affec- tion of the larynx as direct result of hardslliVs endured in his recent Bra -zilian trip, This will force him to abandon plans to take part as an ora tor in the political campaign In the United States this fall and compel him to exercise the greatest care for months. The announcement of the ex ' Presidents disability was made after he had visited Sir St. Clair Thomson noted nose and throat specialist.
 The exertion of addressing the Royal Geographically society brought about a continuation of the weakness of Col onel Roosevelt observed on his ar rival In London. Colonel Rooseyelts s voice gave him much trouble during the lecture, and toward the end much huskiness developed.
 pr. Thomson today after a thorough examination, pronounced the verdict that Colonel Roosevelt must not at tempt to speak in the open air. or in- dulge in extensive speechmaking for several months to come. The ex- Pres ident accepted the situation cheerfully He announced the he would obey the doctors orders, and that he proposed to keep himself as much as possible on shipboard on his return trip and thus avoid conversation with his fellow pas sengers

TREATY RATE F|CAT|ON HITS SNAG IN SENATE Lively Fight Expected on Nicaraguan and Colom-
 bian Notes

Washington, June 17.--Efforts of the ad- ministration to have treaties with Colom- bia and Nicaragua ratified ran Into a sliag fesl irtsthe Senate foreign relations committee, and there was evidence that the opposition would bring on a lively fight in the committee and harder bat tie on the Senate floor
 Objection to the proposed pact with Nicaragua was outspoken, some senators making it plain they would insist the state department agreed to radical changes in its construction. The colom- bia treaty apparently was not so objec- tionable to democrats on the committee. It is said, however that Senate repub- lieans will line up against this treaty.
 Secretary Bryan appeared in person be- fore the committee to explain the treaties and urge their approval.
 1t became known tonight that reports have reached senators on the committee that several countries close to Colombia do not look kindly on the proposal to give that country $25000.000 According to these reports statesmen in Venezuela, Ecuador, Panama and neighboring repub- lies fear Colombia may have dreams of territorial aggrandizement if she gets possession of such sum of money.

WOMEN FEDERATION CLOSES CONVENTION Protest Against Suffrage Indorsement-Adopt
 Resolutions

Chicago. June 17.-The twelfth biennial convention of the General Federation of Womens Clubs closed tonight. During the day protest was made against the in- dorsement of womans suffrage and b2o,ooo in comparatively small sums was given to the federation. completing the endow- ment fund of $10O000.
 When two men started to get the fund they evolved a plan whereby $50 entitled the giver to name some person or organ- ization for honorary membership roll; $100 admitted the donor to the roll of honor, and $500 placed the subscriber on the founders list. When the honor rolls began to fill up and the supply of women who 1t was desired to honor at this time apparently became exhausted several women bought the distinction for their husbands.
 Resolutions were adopted indorsing so- cial organizations of women as outlined by the agricultural department: urged the opening of public schools and other public buildings to the people as social centers for popular debate; deplored any further impairment of Niagara Falls by power companies; indorsed efforts being made to prevent fire waste and went on record in opposition to the liquor traffic

Washington, June 17,-A constitu- tional amendment designed to protect dry" states was introduced today. by Senator Dillingham; of Vermont. In- stead of prohibiting the sale for bev- craze purposes of intoxicating liquor as the Hobson-S Sheppard constitutional amendment would. the Dillingham; amendment would merely prohibit the transportation of liquor into any state for sale or use for any purpose con- trary to the laws of such state.
 This purpose is similar to the, ex- isting Kenyon law. but. it would re- move all question as to the validity of the constitution embraced in the Kenyon law

Lee should fall upon them, and that those who lead should receive his mantle and worthily wear it. so declared Secretary of the Navy Daniels at an address at Washing ton and Lees annual commencement ex- ercses.
 The secretary's message to the students was Get hero and he urged them to choose Lee as their measure of exemplar, pointing out their future would be mark ed by the sort of heroes they chose.
 We are all hero worshippers, or we should be- he said, ''and give you the example of the perfect product of what worship of the noblest hero can produce in urging you to choose Lee as your ex- emplar as Lee chose Washinpton.r
 T cannot tell you the alchemy of the transmogrification of one worshipping great man when he comes to partake Of the worship, he continued
