According to reports received at the
fish wharf. the Potomac in the vicinity
of Georgetown is full of shad and her
ring that have worked their way up
from the sea to the fresh water of the
Potomac to spawn. The full moon of
May is the spawning time. according
to old fishermen. and they say that
soon after that time the adult fish be-
gin to disappear and the little fish are
left to look after themselves. The full
moon of May this year falls on We'd

Report on Episcopacy.
discipline" Issue Up.

Announcement is made that the COM
mittee on state of the church, to which
was referred the much-discussed ques-
ton of amusements. will report in IA
vor of eliminating from the discipline
the prohibition against games of
chance, theater attendance and dane
ing. The campaign in the committee
to strike out the prohibition against
these specified diversions was conduct
ed. it was said. by two college execu-
tives. Chancellor James r. Day of Syr-
acuse University, and President Sam
uel Plantz of Lawrence University, APP
pleton. Wis, who maintained that the
ban of these amusements tended to
keep the young people out of the
church.
One of the most important subjects
to be acted upon during the coming
attitude of the church on the question
of temperance and prohibition. The
temperance committee has agreed upon
a report which goes farther than the
Methodist Episcopal Church has ever
gone before.
Whereas four years ago the main
drive was for the passage of the inter-
state liquor shipment bill as the i'm
mediate national issue. this report de-
clares that the liquor traffic cannot be
licensed without sin, and specifically
urges the immediate submission by Con-
gress of prohibition amendment for the
action of the states

GIBBSTOwN. N. j.. May 15.-Eight
men are reported killed and dozen
injured by an explosion today at the
Repauno plant of the du Pont Powder
Company, near here. Among the dead
are believed to be the superintendent
and his assistant.
Employees of the company said they
would be unable to give the exact
number of killed and injured until the
men had been checked up.
Five buildings were demolished by
the explosion. which was felt a dis
lance of many miles. So far as can be
learned the blast occurred in a build
ing where nitrate was being manufac-
tured. Dynamite and other high eX-
plosives. used for commercial purposes.

BRANDE1s VOTE WEDNESDAY.
Senate Judiciary Committee INDUCES
in Discussion of Nomination.

Members of the Senate judiciary COM
mittee today INDUCED in frank dis
cussion of their views on the nom1na-
ton of Louis D. Brandeis to the Su-
preme Court of the United States and
before the expressions of opinion of
various members were given an under
standing was reached that they were
to be held strictly in confidence. The
committee took no action and adj
journed until Wednesday, when, some
senator's said today. it was probable
that vote would be taken.
The discussion today is understood to
have been of such nature as to give
the committee fairly accurate esti-
mate of what a vote on the nominal
ton will show. One or two democrats
are said to have indicated strongly that
they would oppose his confirmation.
Should they hold to these views a
straight vote on motion to recon-
mend confirmation of Mr.. Brandeis
probably would be defeated. Reports
still are current that the nomination
may be returned to the Senate without
recommendation.

Two Amendments Adopted.

The Senate did adopt two amendment S
to the building bill, however. one of
which was offered by Senator Lodge of
massachusetts,, to the effect that If new
plans were made for the building there
should be a competition of architects,
and one by Senator Newlands of Ne
vada providing that before any plans
were finally approved the fine arts COM
mission should be asked for its ad-
vice.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota urged
that the new building for the Depart
ment of Justice should be erected upon
Capitol Hill. and that 1t should be ade-
quate to accommodate the Supreme
Court and the law library of that court.
He said that he was opposed to the
passage of the Swanson bill which would
put the department far away from the
Capitol and the Supreme Court. There
is no provision in the pending bill for
housing the Supreme Court in the new
building

Fights for Full Amount,

This was strongly resisted by Sen
ator Swanson. chairman of the public
buildings and grounds committee. who
told the Senate that. plans for the
building had been designed. after a
competition. at cost of $4,000, and
that the Treasury Department had
submitted estimates for the structure
at 100000. He insisted that it would
be a great mistake to erect a building
on the two squares south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue between 14th and 18th
streets. across the way from the Treas
ury Depa rtment, which would not be
in conformity with the Treasury
building. which he chara cterized as
the most beautiful INTELLECTUALLY of
all the government department build
ings in the city. He pointed out. too,
the great need for a proper building
for the Department of Justice. which
now is occupying quarters in some
eight rented buildings. at an annual
rental of $4,000.
The bill was finally laid aside with
out action on Senator Williams amend
ment, the Senate going into executive
session at l o'clock to consider the
nomination of George Rublee as member
of the federal trade commission. in ac-
cordance with an agreement made last
week.

100000 for new and handsome
building to house the Department of

when Senator Swanson of Virginia sue
ceeded in getting his bill for the con-
struction of the building before that

Senator Williams of Mississippi. Sen

100000 was too great a sum to pay
for such a building. especially at a
time when the government is about to
make extraordinary expenditures for
national defense running into hundreds
of millions of dollars. An amendment
was offered by Senator Williams to re-
'duce the amount to be expended for
the building to S1.000.000.

felt that unless Rome swooped down
and beat Carthage to whisper pretty
quickly, the Carthaginians were sure
sooner or later to pounee on Rome
and turn it into a mere suburb OF Car

began hammering away about the ne
cessity of destroying Carthage. For
years he never made a public speech
without ending with the phrase, Car
thago delenda est" which means,
roughly speaking, put Carthage on
the blink"
And finally Rome did go to war

ton of "Cabiria" at the Electric the
alter last Friday and then went home
and hunted up the history of the Ro-

grave must almost have smiled.

Cato, the Man Who Put the
Lid on Rome

They went ahead and held tht
triumph anyhow, Cato te the contrary
notwithstanding, and it was rumored
that Gen. Fluvius Nobilior placed his
thumb to his nose and waved his ex-
/ tended fingers in derisive glee when
he passed Cato's house-where, by
way, the blinds were all pulled down
and Cato was sitting in straight
backed chair on the back porch read
ing Pilgrims Progress" Very like
ly he was asking himself as he heard
the gay uproar from the street just
whittier we were drifting, anyhow
But Cato's real triumph was to
come. In 1874 B. C. he was elected
censor, a job which in those days held
lot Of duties besides viewing the
movies. Cato, with one other censor,
had charge of the city directory, de-
cided who was citizen and who was
MT, was dictator of public morals, and
had some sayso about how the
sesterces in the city treasury should
be spent. He was a sort of director
of the census, head of the board of
public welfare and chairman of the
appropriations committee all in one,
with few odd duties thrown in for
good measure. And he had the chance
of lifetime to clamp the lid on Rome,
a chance that old C. K. j. was not
slow to improve, you may be sure.
He issued orders about what sort of
simple clothes everybody should wear,
placed the taboo on hobble skirts and
3-foot hatpins, and did lot more I'M
