dress for preparedness by State Senator

Two Matchless Volumes.

Fifty thousand people from every sec

proposition-wOuld presumably express
the average preference Of millions Of their
cOuntrymen-andwome That Is what
makes Heart Throbs'-the two volumes
now being presented by this paper to its
-eaders-the most unique work ever pub
ished. It is filed from cover to cover
with things that never grow old or die;
The very things you wish a thousand
times you had memorized. or knew where

seven hundred literary treasures that
have endeared themselves to the masses
81 the plain people. The range is from
gems like Tennyson's Crossing the Bar"
Kipling's "Recessional" and webster's
Reply to Hayne"-to those ripples of
laughter like 'Leedle Yawcob Strauss
bits Of pathos like Little Breeches"-or
the ininitable Origin of Roast Pby," by
Charles Lamb. The solemn truth IS that
there Is no living person in the whole

HOUSE TAKES Up

Friends of Half-and-Half Will
Fight Rider Abolish
ing Plan.

After a brief discussion. the House
late Yesterday afternoon ordered the
previous question on the rule admitting
all legislative riders on the District an
propriatiOn bill. The Consideration Of the
bill itself was pushed aside by the Porto
Rican bill A vote will be taken on the
latter Immediately after the House meets
today, and will be followed bv a vote
on the adoption of the special rule. Con-
sideratiOn Of the District bill in committee
of the whole will follow Immediately,
and an effort will be made to pass 1t
in record time.
Representative Campbell. of Kansas.
objected to the rule declaring that the
proposal to eliminate the haIf-and-half
provision of existing law was being
jammed through without sufficient con-
sideratiOn and without offering the Dis
triCt interests fair opportunity to be
heard. Representative Page, who will be
in charge of the bill. referred Mr.
Campbell to two printed volumes of
hearings before the joint select committee
last fall, declaring that the rider
select committee.
Representative Lenroot, of Wisconsin,
objected to the adoption of the rule on
the ground that it provided for a num-
ber Of legislative riders" He declared
he was not opposed to special rules
making legislation necessary to perfect
appropriation bills, and for that reason
did not oppose the rider affecting the
half-and-half plan, but that other
legislative riders covered under the rule
were not of this status.
II is considered practically certain that
the item for the construction of a
municipal garbage plant will be inserted
in the Senate and will be accepted by
the House conferees, and also that at
east one of the two big park tracts

7. R. TO TESTIFY
in RIGGS CASE
Former President Will Take
Stand for Defence at
Trial of Bankers.
HENRY WHITE TO FOLLOW

Theodore Roosevelt, tGTme- President
of the United States. will arrive in
Washington this morning at I o'clock to
testify today in the trial of Riggs oank-
ers. He will be character witness for
Charles c. Glover. president of the bank,
who, with w ]. Flather. vice president,
and II. II. Flather. resigned cashier OF
the bank, Is charged with perjury.
Col. Roosevelt Is the second stellar
character witness produced by the oe-
fendant bankers. A week ago yesterday
former President Taft took the stand in
behalf of Mr. Glover Other notab bles
will be introduced by the defense during
the presentation OF its case. II was hinted
yesterday. Former Ambassador to France
Henry White accompanied Mr.. Glover
into court yesterday and likely will take
the stand with several other distinguished
men.
Mr.. Roosevelt will limit his time on the
stand TO permit him to catch the II
o'clock train for New York.
The government rested its prosecution
Of the bankers at 2:3O o'clock Yesterday.
after nearly two weeks of examination OF
witnesses and introduction OF evidence.
James TrimbIe bank examiner, was the
last witness called by the government.
First witness Summoned.
Summoning as its FIRST witness, Owen
T Reeves, president Of the Drovers Ma
aminer from 1901 to 1911. the defense at
tempted to refute charges by the prose-
CUtors that the accused bankers had tried
to conceal alleged stock transactions by
the bank by recording them in the pri-
vate Glover-Flather and Flather-Flatner
accounts
What the defense secured in testimony
from Mr.. Reeves was that he always
had access to the accounts. in fact. that
he BY the direction Of the then Comp
trOller of the Currency, Mr.. Ridgeley,
instructed the bank to change the ac-
counts from n Commissions Account
to the individually named accounts. In
doing this, the government had con-
tended. the bank resOrted 10 subterfuge
to conceal its alleged stock transactions.
Mr.. Reeves further declared that dur
ing his term as a bank examiner, officers
OF other downtown banks OF Washington
were members Of the Washington Stock
Exchange and dealt in stocks in their
individual capacities There was moth
ing irregular in this nor in that they
should keep their accounts in an indi-
vidual way. he said. As to the turning
over of personal profits made on stock
transactions by officers Of the Riggs
Bank to the bank itself that also was
legitimate, ne testified.
Several times during the examination
this first witness called by the defense,
le court Crier knocked for order and
Justice SiddOns trial Judge himself once
admOnished the crowd. It was evident
the spectators were in sympathy with
the bankers and when a point scored in
their behalf was made, the pleasure of
the audience found expression and sub
dued COmmotion followed. Justice Sid
dOns apparently was on the point Of re-
oeating his admonition several times but
refrained.
