WELLER MAY FIND
HILL OPPONENT
Representative Looking Over
Maryland Situation With
Eye on Spring Primary.
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


BALTIMORE, June 13.-That Sena.
tor o. E. Weller may have opposition
for the Republication nomination in
the primaries next Spring became
known this week when John Philip
Hill, who now represents the third
congressional district Of Baltimore
City, announced that he was making
a Survey of the situation in Mary
land with reference to the wishes OF
the Republican voters"
Hill has just completed a tour of
western Maryland. where he sounded
sentiment, and next week will start
through southern Maryland. He Will
visit northern Maryland and the East
ern Shore. @
Senator Weller, however, Is sitting
pretty, to use a slang phrase. and
with the party machine back Of him,
as we'll as the national administra-
ton, II Is a question II any candidate
can poll enough votes to beat him.
While Hill would undoubtedly carry
Baltimore City, it is not believed he
could carry a sufficient number Of
counties to get the votes to nominate
him in the State convention, as Balti-
more has only II votes in the conven-
ton and the counties have about 14i.
Weller Weakens Opposition.
The opposition to Senator Weller i'm
Baltimore City, known as the Lownde-
Marchant faction, received a hard
blow this week when former Mayor
William F.. Broening. who has hereto
fore been counted on. attended a dim
ner given by Senator Weller to
number Of Republican leaders. Among
the others present were John w. Gars
rett, who was candidate for the Re.
publican nomination at the last senas
torial primary, being defeated by for.
mer Senator Joseph Irwin France: for
mer State Senator Oliver P. MetZerott
OF Prince Georges County; AxeSr-oI 4.
Mullikin ao@ kiian Fisher.
In the meanwhile the Democrats are
playing a waiting game, which Is
practically forced on them by the fact
that Gov. Ritchie refuses to announce
his plans for the future. whether he
will seek reelection or be a candidats
for the Senate.
Although one local paper announced
this week that Gov. Ritchie would be
a candidate for the United States Sens
ate, and the governor steadfastiy
maintains his non-committal attitude,
the impression is growing among poll
ticians that he really prefers being
governor to being in the United States
Senate. Some leaders OF the party,
said to be close to the governor.
assert that the supposition that he
will aspire TO a third term as governor
amounts almost to a certainty. -

service to mothers and children. but
center for research work, where
some of the most baffling problems re.
lating to the health of children are
yielding to intensive study. A staff
of welfare workers and visiting nurses
Is maintained, to follow the children
into their own homes and see that
the instructions given the mothers
are carried out.
The conquest of the Summer dis

triumph to date, but Is far from be.
ing the only one. The work of the
clinic gradually Is eliminating ricketts,
among Washington children. This is
a bone disease which can be complete.
ly cured. If taken in time, by proper
administering of cod liver oil and
proper exposure to sunlight. The
problem Is to make every mother un-
derstand the Importance Of these
things.
Study Pre-SchooI Age.
The clinic workers are devoting a
great deal Of research now to the pre-
school-age child-between babyhood
and five years Of age-when habits
are formed and physique and charac-
ter nodded. Proper training on the
part Of parents while the children are
forming the habits which will stick
to them through life, DIR. Davis says,
will save hundreds from sickness and
unhappiness in later years.
The habit of breathing. for instance,
is formed during those years 1t
would be difficult matter to teach a
grown person to change the manner
Of breathing because the manner, re-
peated millions and millions Of times,
has become instructive, whether it is
correct or not. With the child, still
plastic, it Is different
Correct habits of eating, sleeping
and playing are studied and the re-
suits OF the research communicated to
the parents. Such matters as tan
trums in children. which develop at
this time, are dealt with. A cross,
hysterical child. taken in time, usu-
ally can be entirely cured, but other
wise may grow up into a cross, hys-
tertcal man or woman. For such
cases the clinic now prescribes ex-
traordinary amounts of rest and
shielding from excitement.
Eliminating Diptheria.
The society has gone a long way
toward eliminating diphtheria among
the children OF Washington by giving
antitoxins.
Much sickness and much conse-
quent family expense have been saved
by the proper attention to the teeth
of the children.
Often children are brought to the
hospital, underweight and malnour-
ished, with whom the staff can find
nothing organically wrong. 1t has
been found that slight changes in the
daily habits, which the parents can
regulate, will entirely do away with
this condition.
The record for the past 25 years of
child deaths per 1000 births in the
INST year has been made by DIR. Davis
as follows: 1901 to 1905, 218; 1906 to

RICHMOND, Va, June 13.-Rigid
enforcement Of the automobile laws
of the State this year has resulted in

$777,0 over the collections for the

In the receipts from the gasoline tax
for the first four months Of this year,

ter report, showing collections for four
months, discloses that the revenues
for May have not been included, as
was the case In the auto registration
feature, the gasoline tax not being
payable until June 20.
There has been a vast amount of
railing at the manner in which the

previous years and that the automo-

BEAVERS FLOOD MINE
BY DAMMING CREEK
Operators Blow Up Obstruction,
But Animals Build It Again
in "a Hours.
By the Associated Press.

GOLDEN, B. c., June 13.-So thick
and industrious have beavers become
in the Winderemere Valley that they
are seriously interfering with mining
operations, according to H. E. Pertain
of Wilmer, who Is developing claims
on Horse Thief Creek.
The beavers, by damming the creek
caused water to back up into the mine
and 1t was some time before the rea-
son was discovered. After a search
the mine workers located a beaver
dam and blew it up. but the mine
Immediately again filled with water.
Another investigating party found
that the destroyed dam had been re-
constructed and reinforced in weak
spots by the busy animals within "a
hours. Furthermore. some 60 sap
lings, cut into usuable lengths, were
found ready for further work on the
dam.
Flume Suggested.
Officials of the British Columbia
game board, in an effort to overcome
the difficulty, have suggested that the
fume idea, evolved by the Biological
Survey of the United States, be tried
out on the creek. This Is the cut
ting of fiume through the beaver
dam so that the water will not rise
above a certain point, on the theory
that Mr.. Beaver pays SO much atten-
tion to his work that he never gives a
glance upward. Though persistent as
well as Industrious, there is 2 unit
to a beavers patience and. finding
that his dam does not succeed in hold
ing the water back, he and his crew
shift to- some other plase and begin
home making all over again.
Three years ago the game board
closed the season for trapping beaver
south of the Canadian Pacific Railway
and the animals have multiplied SO
rapidly that they are becoming a
