Merits Of the Proposition.
The proposition to house the Smith
Burnsiana in the Scottish Rite Temple,

intent to have preserved intact this
collection; secondly, the collection can
there be properly placed and arranged
and kept open under such regulations
as will freely admit the public" as Mr..
Smith desired; thirdly. promise is given
of the possible fulf1llment of Mr.. Smith
earnest hope" that the Burns collec-
ton might prove the nucleus of a
ington." and there is practical GER
tainty of its enlargement as a Burns

and description Of the collection: I am
happy to say believe it to be of worth.
| hope that 1t, by all means, will be
retained in Washington and at an early
date be made accessible to scholars.
Indeed. I planned to spend the present
season in Washington chiefly with the
hope to use this collection. My opinion
is based upon statements made to me

Conservatives Are Crowded.

These conservatories are very dense1y
crowded and Supt. Hess and his force
have been put to all sorts of ingenuity
to find room for all of them.
An example of how they have done
their best under the circumstances is
attracting great deal of attention.
There is huge date palm that is more
than forty years old. which showed it's
top through the roof and was growing
all summer more than six feet above
the glass roof. Mr. Hess had his men

Keep Shows Open at Night.

This house Is built so that it will be
lighted by electricity and thus can
be kept open in the evenings for shows.
1t is convenient to Maryland avenue. so
that there is a handy entrance and a
chance for visitors to park their cars
or to reach the entrance from lines of
either street car company. 1t will not
be necessary for the people to OBJ
serve a zone way" rule in walking
about to look at the blooms. for there
is a large floor on the other end of the
house by which they can pass out into
another street and thus any crowd of
visitors can be conveniently handled
without congestion.
Further improvements include the
putting in of cement bases on all the
propagating houses. of which there are
more than twenty. and the painting of
all the brickwork on the Botanic Gar
den property.
The palms and ferns and rubber
plants which have been set out all sum-
mer along the main walk of the gar
den. making beautiful avenue OF
palms through which the Capitol dome
might be seen. have all been put away
in the conservatories for the winter.

BOTANIC GARDENS
ATTRACT VISITORS
Recent Improvements Have
Made 1t Show Place of
Washington.
SIDEWALKS ARE REPAIRED

II any member Of Congress wants to
see how much the people of Washing
ton appreciate a little money spent on
improvements here, and how much II
adds to the impression visitors have of
the National Capital. they now have
visual proof at the National Botanic
Garden.
Soldiers and sailors In uniform are
to be seen every day about this great
national garden. which is such a re-
freshing relief from toll in the trenches
or learning the arts of war through
drilling by the hours There is probably
no place in the city where so many
men in uniform congregate as at the
Botanic Garden. And Supt. George W
Hess makes them feel at home.
He invites them into his home. and
occasionally when he meets one whose
father is a gardener he invites him 10
dinner, as happened yesterday. when he
had as his guest the son of the famous
9Ianda, orchard grower. in New Jersey.
Lure to Visitors Here.
The presence of the soldiers only
emphasizes what a lure the Botanic
Garden has for visitors to the Capital
Every day, no matter what the wealth
err may be. there are crowds of visitors
n this show spot nestled under Capitol
Hill, where II forms an attractive en-
trance to the great system of parks.
With small appropriation made by
the last session of Congress Supt.
Hess has made some very noticeable
improvements at the garden. In order
to take the best possible care or the
many valuable plants, some of which
are scores of years old, two new boil
ers have been installed in the big CEN
trail conservatory in the public part
Of the garden These two boilers take
the place of six old ones. Also he has
gotten from another branch OF the
federal service a secondhand boiler
of the same pattern. which has been
set up in the propagating houses and
takes the place of three of the old
fype

NO OBJECTION TO ROOT
DECLARES ALLEN BENSON

Yonkers, N. T.. May 5.-"If the Ger
man submarines are sinking 100000
tons OF shipping week. 1t doesn't
make any difference whether we send
Elihu Root or Billy Sunday to Russia" :"
declared Allan Benson. Socialist presi-
Dental candidate at the last election,
when asked today for his opinion of
Roots appointment on the American
commission to Russia
elimination of the submarine Is the
one thing of paramount Importance,
overshhdowing everything else.
never regarded Root as a good expon-
ent of democracy. nor do I now re-
gard him as such. But I have no SYM
pathy with any opposition to Root,
which Is really more of an attempt to
bring about a separate peace between
Germany and Russia than 1t Is to
prevent Root going. l would infinitely
rather Root go on the commission
than to have some man go who might
work for a separate peace between
Russia and Germany"

NO OCCASION FOR
IN THE
PRICES FOR COAL
Federal Trade Commission
Advises Against Buying
= Panic and Threatens to
Expose the Spectators.

Washington, May 5.-Retail prices
of coal generally obtaining are unwar-
ranted, the federal trade commission
ruled today in report to congress
wherein it counselled the public not to
indulge in a buying panic.'
The consumer should buy as in past
years, not try to hoard four months
supply in a single month, the commits
sion said.
Moreover, 1t announced that it in
tends to expose any dealer or specu-
lator who tries to stampede the public
into abnormal buying or who tries to
justify high prices, especially as there
Is coal for all for the output will be
increased.
The board held that there is no Jus
tification to pass on to the consumer
any greater increases than the pay
raises granted to miners. Further. it
ought to apply.
THE PUBLIC DECEIVED.
'Tf the public is again so deceived as
to indulge in scramble for coal such
as occurred last winter, a favorable
output situation now existing, may be
nullified.
IT purchases are made as usual,
the findings continued. there will be
no disturbance and small chance for
spectators to fleece the public"
The wage increase agreed upon April
26, the commission states, will in
volve an increased cost OF production
of from "a to 80 cents per ton.
But there is. no justification for a
larger increase to be passed on to the
consumer" the commission warns
LARGE PRODUCTION.
The coming year, the commission has
been assured by operators and miners
representatives, will be one of unus-
ually large production. The report
also says:
"The committee also calls attention
to activities of spectators in anthra-
cite coal who perform no useful SER
vice In distribution but who insert
| themselves as a disturbing factor up
on the industry and whose unearned
profits are so much greater than those
enjoyed by either miner or operator,
or honest dealer.
These profits, in many instances
more than 100 per cent, were paid by
| the consumer"

AMERICAN GENIUS TO
SOLVE THE SUBMARINE
FOR ALLIES

New York, May 5.-Strons belief
that the submarine problem will be
solved by one or more American
inventions, already tested by tho
naval consulting board, was ex-
pressed this afternoon in a state
mont to the United Press, by w. L.
Saunders, chairman of the board.
Saunders said that no did not
know of any single invention made
by Thomas A. Edison, president of
tho board, which would end the
submarine peril, but clearly inti-
mated that Edison is engaged in
experiments that promise to be
successful.
"There have been large number
Of inventions submitted to tho
board" said Saunders. "Many have
been tried and found practicable.
My belief is combination of those
inventions will solve tho submarine
problem. ! am confident that it will
be solved by some Of tho inventions
now before us. As result of re-
cont discoveries | am hopeful that
the under-sea peril will soon be
met effectively"
Saunders emphasized tho fact
that no announcement had been
authorized by the navy department
and that he was expressing his
personal opinion.

FRENCH GAIN AN
POINT TO
GERMAN LINE BY
BLOW
The Capture Of Laon, Now
Threatened, Might Force
the Invaders to Retreat
Clear to the Belgian From
tier.

London, May Sway for the flank
ing Of the Laon pivot of the German
Hindenburg line was open to the
French today. If General Nivelle can
turn the trick and outflank the Ger
mans by capture of Laon in the i'm
mediate future, military strategists
here believe the retirement of tho
Germans to the frontier line will be
necessary.
Capture of Craonne, dominating the
Aisne plateau and the Miette valley,
taken in surprise blow of great
strength struck yesterday by the
French commander, gives the French
their entry point for this Important
operation. Today the French were
nine miles distant from Laon. but with
the intervening ground favorably situ-
ated for their further progress.
GERMANS RUSH IN RESERVES.
German reserves hurriedly concen-
trated to offset the French victory
were stubbornly contesting every inch
of the ground held by Nivelle's troops
and front dispatches indicated bat
tie of gigantic proportions was gather
ing there Craonne and Laon lie at
| the base of an angle Of which Lafere
| is the point. A penetration of this
angle would give the allies hold
back of the Hindenburg line all the
way north and place the Germans in
grave jeopardy.
Field Marshal Haig's report today
| indicated continuance of the deadlock
in the Arras sector and was devoted
| to fighting action to the south.
East of lie Verguier we carried out
successful raid at night. taking a
few prisoners" he said. North of
Havrincourt wood, we progressed
DEADLOCK CONTINUES.
The deadlock in the Arras sector was
not without fighting, however. Three
| further German counter attacks were
made during the night, the British
commander in chief reported. All
were directed against the newly-won
British positions on the Hindenburg
| line. The first was broken down in
concentrated British artillery fire. The
| other two passed the barrages but
were driven back from the British
trenches after a period of sharp fight
| ing.
| Progress around Fresnoy. to the
| south, was also reported by Haig. AT
Messines hostile raiders were repulsed.

The premier said: "It is impossible
to send another note. The Temporary

and leave its post rather than take such
a step which would menace the coun-

that there Is no interior discord and
that the only trouble Is in respect to
