 The s1o,000 mahogany bar and sideboards sold for $34. Other equipment went for a like sum. A basket of bottle corks and cork screws, together with two cans of sardines, failed to find a bidder. In striking contrast to the somber hang ers-on who watched the sale was the jubilant attitude of the junk dealers.

WOOLLEY, Ex-CANDIDATE
FOR PRESIDENT, DIES
Prohibition Leader and Lecturer
Succumbs in Spain After
Several Days Illness.
By the Associated Press.

BY the AssoC1ated Press.
GRANADA, Spain, August 14.-John
C. Woolley of Madison, Wis, former
prohibition candidate for President of
the United States. died at 11:15
o'clock yesterday morning, after an
illness of some days, due to cerebral
attack Mr.. Woolley passed away be-
fore the arrival in Granada Of men,
bers of his family.
John Granville Woolley was born in
Coliinsville. Ohio. in February, 1850.
After receiving degrees from Wes-
leyan University and the University
Of Michigan he was admitted to the
illinois bar in 1873. He began the
practice of law in Paris, ILL.,, later
going to Minneapolis, where he be-
came prosecuting attorney.
In 1888, as he related 1t. he found
he was losing his big practice and
his modest fortune through drink. He
went to New York, but his old habits
soon reduced him to a life of vaSa-
bondage.
In sober periods. he later explained
he made a practice OF attending tenn
perance meetings. which he some
times addressed. His brilliant oratory
attracted the attention of prominent
temperance leaders, including Dw1ght
l. Moody, who did all In their power
To assist him. From that time on he
made a winning fight and later re-
turned to Minneapolis to deliver tenn
nerance lectures for hundred
nirhts following this with q lecture
tour Of tho United States and then OF
the English speaking world. He was
the prohibition party's presidential

FEW|N PORTO RICO
SPEAK ENGLISH
Revelations After 24 Years
of U. S. Rule Amaze
Congress Members.
TONGUE HELD IN. DISDAIN
May Lead to Law Requiring All
American Possessions to Adopt
the Language.

Many members of Congress were
amazed to learn today from travel
ers just returned from the West In
dies that although Porto Rico has
been American territory for twenty
four years virtually no one In the
island speaks English.
English is being taught to children
in some of the schools, it is true, but
an entire generation has gone by
since the American flag first was
hoisted at San Juan. and the only
three words of English that most of
the natives know are:
No spik English"
Travellers have related how they
approached the beautifully uniformed
insular guards directing traffic at the
principal street corners of San Juan,
asking the way to the governor s
| palace.
NO spik English" replied the
guards. one after the other. They re-
piled. too. in tone which seemed to
| Indicate pride in the fact. These
guards are uniformed in light blue
and have the natty, snappy appear
ance of the Paris gendarme.
Shopkeepers Profess Ignorance.
| Shopkeepers also profess an entire
| ignorance Of the English language.
! although as rule shopkeepers all
around the world attempt Engllsh IN
some form, because the bulk OF tnelr
tourist trade comes from Engilsh-
speaking persons.
| The disdain of the English language
| in Porto Rico, it was said today. may
| lead eventually to a move to impose
the language upon all American pos
| sessions. 1t has been the European
custom for centuries to impose the
/ y,v 80
conquered. but as no such relation
ship has existed between the United
States and Porto Rico it was thought
| that in time English would work its
way irresistibly into the island. Such
has not been the case. however, and
there is doubt now if under the pre-
lvaling tactics another generation will
| find the language of'America spoken
in this nearest of our insular posses
sions
possession in the West Indies. the
Virgin Islands. English is not only
the official language but the Ian
guage of all the natives. This is
an odd revelation to visitors in these
islands. for the fact that they be-
lorged to Denmark up to the time
of. their purchase by this country led
to the assumption that Danish was
the tongue of the islanders.
Accent of Natives Puzzling.
The English spoken in the Virgin
Islands is almost EliZabethan in its
quaintneSs. The accent of the natives
is puzzling at first to Americans. but
in day or two 1t is easily picked
up, and there is no difficulty there
after. The accent really is no
greater than exists between an
American living on Cape Cod and
one living in southern Alabama
l. Virgin Islanders explain their
| speaking English to the fact that
| the cities of the islands always have
been trading ports. and as most of
| their trade was with English YES
sells the language of the merchant
men grew up. to the exclusion of

ASKS REFERENDUM
ON SHIP SUBSIDY
Borah Wants Nationwide
Expression on Bill at
November Elections.

Proposal for a. national referendum
on the ship subsidy bill in the No
vember congressional elections has
been laid before the republican con-
xressional committee. The proposal
was made by Senator Borah, republi-
can of Idaho, and made public today
by Representative Will r. Wood OF
Indiana, chairman of the congress
sional committee.
The committee Is not advocating
the bill, Chairman Wood says. but he
has promised to canvass the members
on the question.
The voters have not yet had an
opportunity to pass upon the ques-
tion OF a subsidy and there Is wide
difference of opinion and a very in
tense difference of view among the
people in regard to it," said Senator
Borah in his letter. Now. as the
measure is concretely before the Con
gress, may we not arrange to place
it specifically before the voters?"
Senator Borah said it appeared
proba BILE that the administration bill
would not be acted upon by Congress
before the next session.
THE matter could be presented
specifically. said Senator Borah. dis

it has been decided to keep the anti
quated Aqueduct bridge, alongside
in commission for several months
beyond that time. That is due to the
fact that suitable railroad iacliitles
at the Virginia end OF the ne"
eral months after the bridge proper
is completed. Plans under consio-
Grafton involve the extension OF the
tracks of the Capital Traction COM
pany from NJ street, across the

! finally approved by the Secretary OF
War.
Change vehIcular Trahic.
With the knowledge that the ex-
tensive railroad construction In
volved cannot be completed by the
time the bridge itself is ready FOR
| general public use, it is planned py
| the Army engineers to keep the
! Aqueduct bridge open to the cars OF
I the Washington and Old Dominion
| railroad during the coming fiscal
year, beginning July l next. but 10
| close it entirely to general vehiculaf
| traffic when the new Georgetown
| bridge is put in commission early In
| January
Congress provided for the removal
of the Aqueduct bridge upon compile
tion of the new bridge, but so far'
| however. no money has been appro-
priated for that purpose and no plans
| to that end have been made. Many
residents of Georgetown have asked
that the Georgetown approach and
| the adjacent span of the Aqueduct
bridge over the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal extending to the rivers edge be
retained permanently/as recreation
pier after the bridge proper across
the river shall have been removed
That question probably will be set
| tied when Congress considers the ap-
| preparation for removing the old
| structure.
| In his last annual report Maj. Max
| Tyler, the engineer officer in charge
says that observations of the Aque-
| duct bridge taken each month show
no change in the alignment and ele-
! vation Of the piers, but that consid-
cradle vibration in the deck has been
noted Up to date $265.8S3 has been

however. 10 clearly indicated by his
recommendation that 1t be closed to
general vehicular traffic when the
new bridge Is opened and closed also
to the Old Dominion street cars as
soon as that road has established
its new terminal at Rosslyn.
According to Maj. Tyler's report. the
new Georgetown bridge, which was
begun In June, 1915. has cost $2,124.-
1875 to date. of which amount $141,476
was expended for land and plans. and
is now 90 per cent completed. What
remains to be done is to complete the
approaches. the surface roadway and
the balustrades. install the lamposts
and dismantle the heavy galloway,
extending clear across the river. LAS
the bridge will be open to traffic dur
ing the next fiscal year." says Mai.
Tyler. no estimate is submitted for
further construction. but $500 will
! be required for maintenance of the
bridge, including lighting, cleaning
| roadways. sidewalks, etc. When con-
structed the bridge will expedite and
facilitate the movement Of traffic be-
tween the District of Columbia and
Virginia."
