PUBLIC MONEY CARRIAGE
RAISES RAILROAD 0UTCRY
Protest Against Being Compelled to
Transport Government Funds
Without Additional Pay.

Complaint is being made by the rail-
roads of the recent change in the
transportation of public moneys be-
and the banks by registered mail, in
stead of by express.
According to a statement issued by
the committee on railway mail pay the
express companies have heretofore
earned about 100000 annually by the
performance of this service. Approx
mately so per cent of this sum, or
S250.0O0 annually. was paid by the ex-
press companies to the railroads for
the facilities of transportation, it is
said.
Both the railroads and express COM
panies will be deprived of these reve-
nCes, by the railroads unlike the ex-
press companies. will by no means be
relieved OF. the service. since it is obvi-
Gus that whether the public moneys
and securities are sent by express or
by mail the facilities of the railroads
must be used in either case.
Get No Pay.
For carrying the money and securi
ties as mail the railroads will receive
no compensation whatever until the
government again weighs the mails to
ascertain the tonnage being carried, 1t
is claimed. This is done once in four
years. Even then the railroads assert
the rates they will receive for trans
porting the funds will be SO made.

JOIN PENNY A DAY CLUB,
is THE LATEST SLOGAN
Concerted Movement for Aid of
Babies Of Friendship House
Is Proposed.

"Join the Penny Day Club and help
the babies of Friendship House" is the
slogan of Il concerted effort to be in
augurated tomorrow.
Mrs. Milo b. Atkinson, in charge, an
nounces that tomorrow boxes will be
placed in many of the larger stores OF
the city and persons who desire to
help are urged to drop penny. The
campaign will continue for seven days
and in that time it is hoped that the
1000 deficit at Friendship House,
which is located at 324 Virginia avenue
southeast, will be secured.
Will Solicit Special Subscriptions.
At ODonnell's drug store, at 9th and
F streets. a representative of the board
of managers of Friendship House will
be in charge of the box in order to re-
ceive special subscriptions.
Already about a dozen women promi-
nent in the work of Friendship House.
according to Mrs. Atkinson, have joined
the Penny a Day Club and agreed to
deposit a penny each day.
Friendship House not only harbors
little children whose mothers are i'll in
hospitals, but cares for those whose
mothers are at work and whose rela-
tives are not in a position to provide a
home for them. Orphans are also taken
temporarily until some satisfactory
permanent home is secured for them

ducts of the farm. We pass large fields of
wheat and rice.
We are now approaching Tien Tsin. the
center of trade for the surrounding country,
and headquarters for the European land
owners. Here and there we pass big mounds
of earth, and, upon inquiry, we are told
that they are Chinese graves. As we ap-
proach near Tien Tsin, we notice with
wonder, the difference between this town
and those we have passed. Here the streets
are broad and we'll kept. There are shade
trees along the avenues, and the houses are
two and three stories, and are built of wood
and brick. Here along the river front, a row
of grain warehouses. The streets are named
in English, and as we pass down Tweenis
road, with its European shops and stores,
it makes US think of some American towns.
We pass on through the town down to Ia
ku road, where the fashionable residential
section of the city is situated, where the
Europeans and rich Chinese live. This is
also the Mission center, and along Taku
road are number of Missions.
We are now approaching long wall, and
on the wall, at intervals, are watch towers,
which looks like big prison. This is the
walled city, or old Tien Tsin. 1t is here
that the poor and working Chinese live. As
we pass through the high gate the change
nearly takes our breath away-We have pas
sed from the twentieth, back to the fifth
century. From the magnificent dwellings
with their we'll kept lawns and flower gar
dens, and broad streets with shade trees, we
enter narrow street strewn with rubbish
and overrun with dogs. 1t smells more like
slaughter house than place where human
beings live. We seem to enter street built
between two walls about ten feet high,
with doors at intervals of about twenty-five
feet, but instead of walls they really are
houses, and we are told that each door is
house. There is only one room in the
house, and this room, which is about eight
teen by twenty feet, is the bedroom, sitting
room and dining room combined. There is
an oven-like affair about three feet high,
and with fiat top built in the room, that
takes up about half the floor space, this
is used as bed, chair and table. There is
nothing else in the room but two iron pots.

THE TRIUMPH At PANAMA CANAL
Continued from first page0

the yellow fever for the canal zone.
The Engineers having solved their
problems as successfully as the Doc
tors the completion of the canal
was assured.
Once more we find a change in
the head of the canal Commission,
and the work of completing the
enterprise was turned over to the
army officers who would not resign.
Wallace, the first boss on the job
furnished the creative imagination.
and foresaw the enormous under
taking in the large. He ordered 90
ton steam shovels by the wholesale
and other equipment in proportion,
but his acquisitions were ignored or
filled only in part, months after
wards. This is given as his reason
for reslgning.
Stevens was an organizer of the
greatest ability, and put the enter
prise on a going basis, but Colonel
George w. Goethals. the chief en-
gineer and chairman of the COM
mission was the right man in the
right place, and to him is due the
credit of completing this great
national job of ours.
Strange as it may seem, the Carib-
bean or northern entrance into the
canal, is the same port into which
Columbus sailed on his fourth and
last voyage, and named it Navy
Bay in 1902.

they never came within sight of
run, except in the seventh when the
first man was walked. the second
made safe single and the next bat
ter was given his base on balls. But
even with the bases filled they failed
TO score, and thus it ran to the end.
The M.S.P's. at the slab were en-
tirely different, from the very start,
they were out for blood and Judging
by the final tally they should be full
ly satisfied. Just as starter they
ran in six in the first and added two
more the next time up, after which
they took things easy, just a single
till the seventh. when they annexed
six more, one of these being homer
that was brot in by the catcher. and
for good measure they tackled on
three more in the eighth.

Dlscord is ever ready to provide a bone
of contention from the carcass of doubt.
A Man that is half convinced is apt to
need more than an other half to complete
his conviction.
The intention of some people to do good

this point runs out of gasolene.
He who habitually builds castles in the

the burdens were not so disproportionate.

Some folkes use bombast to advertise
their worth; others use what is termed d.

Both methods are used by the crudest bot

these methods, as their worth is appar-

Tuesday evening found an appreciative

ending was not only happy, but logical.
