OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
Geo. w. Summers1

WASHINGTON, March l4.-west
Virginians in Washington have been
twice called upon within q week to
mourn a friend and fellow citizen in
public life. Scarcely had the funeral
train started with the body OF Con-
gresham Junior Brown, accompanied
by the committees OF the Senate and
House, for Kingwood. where II was to
be Inferred, when the final summons
came to Henry Gassaway Davis, SEN
ator for years, and developer OF a
large part OF the state and commonly
known as West Virginia's Grand Old
Man" Two more generally beloved
citizens than Senator Davis and Jun
Tor Brown could hardly have, been
found In the state. The Congressman
had been i'll but little over 4S hours,
having been stricken with apoplexy
early Tuesday morning. when he died
Thursday at noon. Senator Davis had
been suffering with a cold, but, even
his family did not regard his illness
as serious till a few hours before his
death early Saturday morning. Both
were taken back to West Virginia for
burial at the homes they loved and
among the friends they had served. A
Congressional escort accompanied the
family to Kingwood for the funeral Of
Mr.. Brown. A distinguished company
Of friends. including Chief Justice
White OF the Supreme court, Solicit
tor General John w. Davis of West
Virginia, Andrew Carnegie, Senator
John Sharp Williams, r. c. Kerens and
Arthur German, son OF the late Sem
ator from Maryland, were named
among the honorary pall-bearers to as
sist at the funeral OF Senator Davis.
Funeral services were not held in
Washington for Mr.. Brown, but were
conducted at Kingwood. Services were
held in Washington Monday for SEN
ator Davis. and he was taken to FL
kins to lie in state among his old time
friends. Services will be held in the
Davis Memorial church which he pre-
sented to the congregation and he will
be inferred in a lot adjacent to that
In which Senator Stephen B. Elkins.
his son in law, lies. Both houses Of
Congress adjourned upon hearing Of
the death of Congressman Brown and
each sent a committee to attend the

Senator Chiffon made a vigorous
fight in the Senate in behalf of the peo-
pie generally, while the "water-power
bill' was under considerations The
bill, introduced by Senator Shields OF
Tennessee. proposed to allow the Sec
rotary OF War to grant franchises for
the use OF water power on all streams
over which the Federal government
has Jurisdiction, the franchises to run
for 90 years. The proposed sites for
water power dams in West Virginia
are probably included in the streams
included in the bill, although Just how
far the federal government may have
control OF the unnavigable stream is
still subject to court opinions. Sena-
tor Chiffon offered an amendment to
the bill providing that in granting the
franchises preference shall be given
to that applicant which offers in good
faith to the United States the most
favorable terms for taking over the
property at the end of the franchise
and the lowest rates for public service
under the franchise under the provls-
ions Of this act" Senator Chiffon made
several speeches in support OF his
amendment and in opposition to other
suggestions, but was beaten. His
amendment was voted down by vote
Of 80 to 80. and the bill as II passed the
Senate provides that the franchise
shall be granted to the applicant who
has first scquired the right under the
state laws to divert the water by
means Of a dam. or in the absence OF
state laws. to the first applicant. Sen
ator Chiffon maintained that the rights
OF the users OF power should be pro-
tected and insisted that the applicant
Offering the lowest rates to the con-
sumner should have the preference
After the defeat of his amendment he
said he could not vote for the bill in
the shape II was left in and so he was
recorded as opposing the measure, al.
though he would have supported II had
some provision been contained in Il
for the protection OF the consumer Of

There is a Real Difference

Cream of tartar, derived from grapes,
is used In Royal Baking Powder because
it is the best and most healthful ingredient
known for the purpose.
Phosphate and alum, which are de-
rived from mineral sources, are used in
some baking powders, instead of cream of
tartar, because they are cheaper.
If you have been induced to use baking
powders made from alum or phosphate,
use Royal Baking Powder instead. You
will be pleased with the results and the
difference in the quality of the food.
