Graduation Exercises.

Money raised at the annual competitive
drill Of the colored high school cadets.

money could be raised, according to the
school authorities.
Many were eager to have drill that
would be free. but no plan could be made
by which it seemed as feasible to raise
the necessary money as by the drill Each
boy who participated received certain

DOLLAR DAY" SUGGESTED.
Plan of Other Cities Recommended
to Washington Merchants,

A suggestion has been made to the Re-
tail Merchants Association to set aside
one day during July to be proclaimed
and observed as Dollar day." when all
the merchants of Washington will offer
the greatest possible values for 81 or re-
auctions from regular prices to that ex-
tent.
The plan has been successfully carried
forward. it is declared, in many cities
of the country, and has always resulted
in a large influx of out-of-town buyers.
A special committee of the association
consisting of Sigmund Kann. Harry King,
A. Lisner, Alexander Hecht and E. c.
Graham is looking into the advtsability
Of the merchants of Washington making
dollar day a reality. 1t is expected
that a report will be made to merchants
generally in a few days.

CHANCE FOR ENLISTED MEN.
Assistant Paymaster Examination
Confined to Those in Service.

The examination of candidates for
appointment as assistant paymaster in
the navy will be confined to the en-
listed personnel of the navy. There
exist eleven vacancies in the corps.
Three additional vacancies are expect
ed to occur during the next two or
three months.
There was some expectation that the
Secretary of the Navy would reserve
some of these vacancies for qualified
candidates from civil life, but there
are no indications that he will modify
his conclusions in that respect. There
are about fifty candidates among the
pear before examining boards to be
convened August 3 wherever there are

The interstate commerce committee con-
Guided its hearings yesterday with the
testimony of representatives of the United
states Chamber of Commerce, who show
ell that poll of its membership on a
trade commission bill gave $50 votes for a
bill similar to that passed by the House,
with 1914 against it.
A. F. Thorn. general counsel of the
southern railway, made an argument
against some of the provisions Of the
I:avburn bill and amendments suggested
by the interstate commerce commission.
He declared that should Congress enact
the bill into law, giving the commission
entire discretion as to the issue of Sc
curities by the railroads. as proposed by
the measure. Congress would go beyond
its proper powers.
Mr.. Thorn warned the committee that if
stringent regulations were adopted
against railroads. regulations which
would prevent their growth and develop
ment to meet the needs of the public,
rhe time would come when government
ownership would be demanded. But he
said. he had become convinced that the
