Through the long, dreary hours, as they
wait and watch in the dark, while dangers
Turk on every hand, their thoughts turn
to the homes they have left behind, homes
on distant farms, in scattered villages, in great
cities, and they see in imagination the plea

the victim of the disease remembers
nothing back of the date on which he
was stricken. His wife and baby are
utter strangers to him, so utterly has
his peculiar illness wiped out the
mans memory. The only aid the man
can bring from his obliterated past is
whatever recollection his young wife
he may desire TO be enlightened upon.
In answer to queries he is forced to
say:
II don't know, but my wife tells me
so and So" Even the identity of his
wife had to be impressed on the man
by physicians.
The afflicted young man, who is be-
ing treated in Denver, is thirty-six
years of age, of good physique and
pleasing personality. He seems TO be
a man of ordinary refinement. Prior
to his affliction he was an expert gas
engine mechanic.
According to the wife's story, her
husband used to talk over business
affairs with her and always assured
her that If anything happened to him
there was sufficient funds ahead to
care for her and their child. Now his
memory is sealed and there is no way
to learn where that fortune is.
Before the Mexican war the victim
of aphasia was engaged in mining en-
terprises in Mexico, but these were
wiped out by the war. Then he went
West to regain health and fortune and
recently purchased a farm tractor on
which he hoped to recoup his fortune.
He was working on this machine when
stricken with disease first diagnosed
as quinsy. Later it affected his mind.

The campaign being conducted to Sc
cure national representation in Con-

ried into the states by Charles J. Co
lumbus, secretary of the Retail Mer-

Mr. Columbus will leave tonight on a
trip Winch will include Pittsburgh
Cleveland, Rochester and New York
city, and at each of these places he will
make an earnest appeal to the resi-
dents to urge their representatives in
Congress to support suffrage for the
District.
IT believe there are people out
through the country who never stop to
think that the residents of the capital
of the nation have no voice in their
government" said Mr. Columbus "And
feel that many of these people would
be glad to help Washington get the
vote if the facts were presented to
them"
Although the campaign for suffrage is
not the primary purpose of Mr.. Column
bus trip, he said he intends to take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to gain
friends for the Washingtonian.
In Cleveland and Pittsburgh the Mer-
chants secretary will speak at meetings
Of branches of the Photographers Asso-

is to lead the discussion on discounts

RAILWAY MEN DEMAND
4OPER CENT INCREASE
Raises in Wages Before Commission
Total Nearly $1,000 900, or
Half of Operating Income.

Demands for wage increases pending
before the railroad wage commission
are for an aggregate average Of 40
per cent. it was disclosed today. The
demands represent g. total of nearly
S500,000.000 this year. or about half OF
the railway operatives income last
year.
A number of requests for moro pay
are still reaching the commission. In
nearly every case the labor union seeks
to represent all members Of the partfcu-
lar trade whether organized or unor-
ganized and the wage commission Is
said to be prepared to accept this prin-
ciple.
Many of the demands are for much
more than 40 per cent. They ask in
some cases an increase to place certain
trades on parity with employees OF
other industries. and, in addition, a
fiat increase to provide for higher cost
of living within the last year. Less
than half of the 100000 railway en-
ployes are organized. Within the last
few weeks. however, the unorganized
men have met in groups and sent petit
tions to the railroad administration
or wage commission asking definite in
creases.
With the aid of it's statisticians and
examiners the wage commission ex-
poets to determine certain rates of in
crease considered just Tor various
classes of railway labor and probably
will scale down the demands in many
instances. An attempt also will be
made to make the wage grants proper
tional to pay in other industries.
The commission was notified today by
number of railway executives that rep
resentatives of the employers would be
named to attend the hearings of the
commission in Washington and to give
any assistance possible in the way OF
amplifying or checking up the state
mentS of employees.

All Washinqton Schools

Yesterdays order from the superin-
tendent Of schools closing all public

til February 4 involves over forty
school buildings. School officials have
been anticipating the contingency of
being forced to CLOSE the schools. and
much pressure Has been brought to
bear by citizens outside the school sys-
tenn urging closing Of the schools to
save coal.
Approximately 800 tons of coal per
week will be saved by closing all the
public schools of the District.

that the closing of the schools is
not on account of an existing actual
coal shortage. but rather on account of
hauling difficulties through the snow
covered streets. Bituminous coal is
used almost exclusively In the schools.
The order will probably not affect de-
livertes of anthracite coal

STONE DENIES
Says No Democratic Leaders Sought
to Prevent Him From Max
ing Recent Speech.

Speaking as a question of personal
privilege today. Senator Stone charged
that published reports saying demo-
cratic leaders had sought to dissuade
him from making his recent attack on
the republicans had been calculated to
break the force of his charge that Col.
Roosevelt and other republican leaders
had been playing partisan politics in
the war were untrue.
Mr.. Stone denied categorically that
any democratic leaders or Postmaster
General Burleson, as published, had
conferred with him on the subject at
all.
Dispatches sent out to the newspa-
pers of the country on that day, saying
democrats were advising Mr.. Stone not
to deliver the speech, were based on
statements by several democrat leaders
at the Capitol made to the newspaper
correspondents, in which they unre-
servedly declared they were appre-
hensive of the effect of the speech, and
were advising the Missouri senator not
to deliver it.

WILL PRESS MEASURES.
Three Bills Affecting Telephone and
Telegraph Service Offered,

Representative Cary of Wisconsin,, a
member of the House District commit
tee, today introduced three bills af.
fecting telegraph and telephone lines.
One is to fix the price of telephones
in private residences. Another provides
for government ownership of all tele-
phones. The third measure would fix
the requirements governing the re-
ceipts. transmission, delivery and pres
eryation of records by the interstate
telephone and telegraph companies.
Mr.. Cary said today that he intends
to press these measures and that he
was prompted by the war emergency
and the inefficient service given in
Washington.
These bills have previously been in
troduced and urged by Mr.. Cary, but
he believes that he now has a chance
of getting them passed because alb.
normal conditions had emphasized the
need for such legislation. he says.
