lations yesterday all but agreed that the
Colombian treaty should go over from

gress. Formal action was not taken, but
deferred until next week, but the senti-

that the treaty had no chance for con-

CRITICIZED CONGRESS.
Moore Said Sessions Were Breeding
spots for Legislative NOstrums.

Methods employed by Congress in legis-
lating for the District were severely criti-
cised Tuesday night by Representative j.
Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania, at a
meeting of Columbia Heights Citizens
Association.
THE District of Columbia is a breed
ing spot for legislative nostrums created
in the brains of gentlemen whose ideas
DO not always conform to the Constitu-
tion of the United States" he said.
when Congressman come from one
of those new countries, where the women
vote, they can always be depended upon
to experiment with their fads and fancies
on the District OF Columbia. 1 don't
know but that it would be well to change
the name of the District of Columbia to
The Political Experiment Station of the
Nation
Il know that the District ought to have
some direct representation. don't be-
lieve in taxation without representation.
I don't like to see a great body Of people
governed without a voice in their govern

Representative John W. Langley, of
Kentucky, has the right idea about cleo
trio automobiles. He believes, in storing
them with power, not to put too much
in at one time-just enough to last
through the day. And now he has the
opportunity of watching his theory work
out
A joy-rider Tuesday night, while the
Representative and his wife were at din
ner in the Hamilton Hotel, Fourteenth
and K streets northwest, hoped into the
machine and rode away.
The police began a search for the ma
chine yesterday. Mr.. Langley explains
that at the time the machine was stolen
II didn't have an over abundance OF
electricity stored in its batteries, and
he thinks the joy-rider who grabbed il
won't go far before the machine brings
him to halt. Therefore, he Is optimistic
over its recovery.
The police are looking for two-pas-
senger Ford belonging to G. c. Bowie, of
1874 Harvard street northwest. stolen
last night from in front Of 175S Columbia
road northwest.

youths Companion)

OutN SOUipdLlOUD
The Gross Glockner, the highest
peak in the Tauern Mountains Of Aus
ria, has been purchased for a private
estate by Herr Weller of Bochum.
The mountain climbers of Germany,
Austria, and Switzerland are a good
deal exercised about it flor the peak,
which is l2,455 feet in height, has been
a favorite one. There are number Of
paths to the top.sand the German Aus
trian Alpine Club has placed an iron
cross on its summit.
Club chalets and lluts have been es-
tablished high up on the sides Of tine
mountain, and some Of the paths re-
uuire wire ropes and iron steps in the
rocks to make them practicable. The
view from the top is very remarkable;
il takes in a vast sweep Of the country
from Ratisbon, on the Bavar1an Plains,
to the Adriatic Sea. Mr.. Weller has
offered 20 the alpine clubs the equiva-
lent value elsewhere for their paths
and property, but that offer they de-
clined. Thus there is raised for the
first time the question of property
rights in the wilder Alps. and noun
taineers will watch the outcome with
interest

for the new product Coppers were
backward, despite reported sales of
the refined metal at 90 cents for do
nestle consumption, with the new
high prices Of cents for lead.
Railroad stocks were variable when
not heavy, Canadian Pacific being
again under pressure on European
sales. Reading, Lehigh Valley, New
York Central and Union Pacific fell
point or more under Saturdays close.
American Can which ranked next to
steel in point Of activity, sold at the
new high record of ATS.
Sharp recessions occurred in the last
hour. the more prominent stocks los
ing from l to points on selling in
fairly large volume. The one exception
was the so-called Virginia debt GER
tificates which rose from 81 earlier in
the month to II on announcement that
the United States supreme court had
decided the long litigation between
Virginia and West Virginia in favor of
the former. The market was heavy at
the close. Total sales amounted to
671 900 shares. That the foreign eX
change situation is again acute was
seen in the decline of demand Sterling
to 9.17la, which establishes a new low
record for the remittances to London.
The previous low price was AIS last
month. Today's fall was ascribed to
the sudden withdrawal from the mar
ket Of an international banking house
whose recent heavy purchases OF Lon
don bills had bene the main support of
that situation. Canada sent another
small amount of gold here and it was
animated that Paris might renew eX
ports of gold 10 this country.
Bonds were firm but without espe-
cial feature. Total sales, par value,
aggregated s2,235,000. United States
bonds were unchanged on call.
