Washington, May 13.-Inquiry into
the relations between capital and
labor were continued today before the
federal industrial relations commission,
with William D. Haywood, secretary
treasurer Of the Industrial Workers Of
the World again on the stand. Mr..
Haywood told Of an ideal world for
which labor was striving. This could
be brought about he said, altho only
thru implicable war between labor and
capital. ending with great general
strike and the confiscation Of all the
means Of production.
Commissioner Weinstock continued
the investigation and developed that
after the general strike to which the
Industrial Workers Of the World look
forward as means Of revolutionizing
society. there would be no government
left. The country would be organized,
the witness said into industries in
stead Of cities and states.
May Take Hundred Years.
AS a citizen of industry every work.
er, man. woman and child, would have
voice in fixing the conditions under
which he would work. At the present
labor has no voice in the affairs Of the
government.
But you cant change the world IN
a night" said Mr.. Weinstock. What
are you going to do in the meantime 90
1T may not como for hundred
years." said Haywood, "but we will
keep plodding along. even il it takes a
century"
Mrs. James Borden Hartman asked
Haywood why he decried war but fav-
ored violent means In labor disputes.
"The laboring class is the only class
deserving considerable replied Hay
wood. 'and / believe any tactics which
win accomplish our purpose are right. y
suosssts Govsrnrnsnt Work.
Haywood said that unemployment
was ono Of the most pressing causes Of
Industrial unrest and suggested that
the government extend its reclama-
ton, river and harbor Improvement
and other public works In order to af-
ford opportunity for employment.
President Frank Goodnow, Of Johns
Hopkins University told the commis-
sion that lawyers and jurists today
were not to consider commerce and
social conditions arising In labor liti-
cations. He expressed the ebelief- that
every American cftisen can secure mis-
rights in courts fairly and evenly.

Confusion Of Names

A CURIOUS misunderstanding, with
IN a strong element of local interest,
was brought the other day to the at
tention of the Rambler in connection
with his recent sketch of early Catholic
chapels and Catholics in the District of
Columbia and in which the history of
St Patricks Church was outlined. That
misunderstanding concerned the Father
Mathew Total Abstinence Society, and
the misunderstanding arose in this
way:
The Rev William Matthews was pas
tor of st. Patrick's Church for half a
century and up to the time of his death,
April 80, 1854. During his long pasto-
rate he became one of the best known
citizens of Washington and his fnf1u-
ence for good was widely recognized.
His DEATH" wrote the Rev. Dennis Jo-
seph Stafford. the sixth pastor Of St.
Patrick's, was mourned by the entire
city. for he was not only a Jealous
priest, but a most useful citizen, and
manifested a deep interest in every
thing that promised to advance the in
terests of the city and the country.
ant pastor of ST Patrick's at the time
pointed as his successor. Father
CToole was a Jealous and prominent
advocate of total abstinence. He was
vigorous in his anti-drink propaganda
He had taken the pledge from the
great temperance apostle, the Rev.
Theobald Mathew. and he founded the
Father Mathew Total Abstinence So
ciety.

Current From Trees.

TT HAT electric currents may be pro-
duced by trees, in conjunction with
the soil and with water, is asserted by
the French engineer Crommelin.
1t appears that NJ. Crommelin sunk a
copper rod in a tree and connected the
rod with one pole of galvanometer
whose other pole was Joined to an iron
bar buried in the ground. The gall
vanometer showed a deviation of four
degrees for one tree and proportion
ally greater one for more.
In a second experiment rod was
sunk in tree denuded of its bark at
sunk in the bark. These experiments
were made on ash trees, the deviations
being much greater with poplars.
An iron rod, buried in the ground,
was connected with one pole of the gal
yanometer and the other pole was con-
nected to a wire insulated from the
ground and having it's end dipped into
the water of river. A deviation of
forty degrees was observed at IL am,
ernoon. These currents thus varied in
Intensity according to the hour of the
day.
In a sulphate- of-copper solution he
plunged two plates of copper connect
ed with two iron rods buried in the
ground one meter apart At the end of
4OS hours a deposit of copper of
milligrams was collected,
proving that an electric current had
passed.
1t is probable that these electric cur
rents are due to unequal chemical
action on the rods buried in the trees
and in the ground.

Chatterton Landing Located.

I'm writing a good while ago of the
burning of the Potomac river
steamboat Wawassett which was one
of the great tragedies of this part Of
the country, the Rambler told of his
difficulty in locating Chatterton land
ing, near which the disaster occurred.
Soon after the publication of the
'ramble' in which this difficulty was
mentioned the Rambler received the
following:
Il notice you are in doubt as to the
exact location of Chatterton landing.
the scene of the Wawassett disaster.
1t lies between what are now known as
Stiff's (Stiths) wharf and Somerset
Beach, a short distance west of Eagles
Nest landing, now only a memory.
"Chatterton house is just back from
the river a little way 1t was the home
of Col. John Tayloe. and his son. For
rest. now lives on part Of the estate.
"Ea giles Nest, on the hill overlooking
the river. is about a mile from the
landing, and it was from windows OF
the north dining room that the Wa
wassett was noticed running for Chat
terton in smother of smoke and
flame. She was discovered to be on
fire shortly after leaving Smiths point,
now Clifton Beach, and might readily
but for a never-eXplained reason Capt.
Wood tried to make Chatterton land
ing. with the result known.
Il might remind you that in the old
graveyard at Eagles Nest can be found
the tomb of that Mr.. Fitzhugh who
married the daughter of Col. Richard
Lee. Eagles Nest is now and has been
for the past hundred years the home
of the Grymes family, many of whom
live nearby on parts of the old estate"

came to the attention Of the Rambler
was that the Father Mathew Total
Abstinence Society was named in honor
Of Father Matthews of St. Patrick
Church. under whom the founder of
the society had served las assistant
pastor. 1t is quite likely that because
of this association of names many
Washingtonians have COMPOUNDED the
Rev. Theobald Mathew and the Rev.
William Matthews.
The Rev. 'Theobald Mathew, almost
universally called Father Mathew, and
the Irish apostle Of temperance, was
born in 1890. studied at Maynooth and
was ordained priest of the Roman
Catholic Church in 1914. Soon after his
ordination he was appointed to a mis-
sionary charge at Cork and estab lish-
ed a society on the model Of those of
st. Vincent de Paul, for visiting the
sick and distressed. "a more extended
undertaking. says his biographer,
was the celebrated temperance cru
SADIE which was so successful that in a
few months he had 10000 converts in
the county of Cork alone A similar
success attended his work in other
parts of Ireland and England, and in
recognition of the importance of ais
work the British government bestowed
civil pension on him of three hun
dred pounds sterling. Father Mathew
died in 1885,

Family Portraits,

IN the high-ceiled parlors and dining
u rooms of houses in the Potomac
valley dating from colonial, revolution
airy and early republican times one is
impressed by the number of oil por-
traits. This situation is not singular to
the Potomac valley, but may be OBJ
served throughout the middle states
and the south, and the Rambler has
been informed that the oil portrait is a
usual family heirloom and adornment
of old homes in New England.
The painting of portraits was an i'm
portant industry in those days preced-
ing the camera and the sensitized plate.
1t was the chief and by far the most
popular means of making the "coun-
terfeit presentment' of person
Whereas now the oil portrait is ordered
as rule only by persons of ample
means. the portrait painter before the
days of photography was often given
employment by persons of compare
lively measer means. The oil portrait
bore about the same relation to the
early part of the nineteenth century

is most likely to wish in regard to his
particular tract of land.
United States Treasury money, ten
thousand dollars of it. has been appro-
priated for the purpose of financing
this project Ten thousand dollars will
ultimately return in the form of pro-
ceeds derived from the sale of tho
lands.
Residents of North Dakota are ex-
ultant over the opening of the lands.
They firmly believe that the develop
ment and enriching of the old reserva-
ton, which will come of necessity, must
benefit the entire state. Isolated dis
tricts will build up; resources, hith-
erto neglected, will be sought out and
made to produce their quota of the
worlds goods; the population will rap
idly increase, and, as a matter Of
course. good roads will follow, trans
portation facilities will improve. better
communication will be established,
telephones. telegraph stations, electric
lights. post offices will each have its
place in the train of the good things
to follow the settlers. and from year to
year the demands on them all will be
greater. Progress and prosperity will
attend the North Dakota Indian and
all other settlers ON the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation.

After a persons name is called he
must select his land, and then he is
given ten days to complete his entry.
This he does at the land office. and this
is where he also parts with his money

If these payments are not made
within the time specified, ten days after
selection of land, the application is ir-
revocably rejected. Post office money
