throwing themselves from the Wash

the office OF the director Of public
parks after the second suicidal
leap in three days had been re.
corded.
Director q s. Grant declared he
would ask an appropriation for
new iron bars or heavy netting
TO be placed over the windows.
Only an hour before Blonnie Ward.
50 years old, .colored. hurled him
self out OF the east window Of the
shaft yesterday. Lieutenant Colonel
Grant had said he believed ii was
unfair to the millions OF sightseers
who ascend the shaft TO place an
obstruction over the windows in
order to prevent one or two persons
from killing themselves. Fearing.
however. that Mondays and Sat-
urday's suicides may he followed
by others. Grant decided that it
would be necessary 10 put pro-
tective devices over the windows.
At the same time. Capt. NJ. H.
Parsons. in charge of the park police.
ordered two guards to be stationed
at the top Of the monument at all
hours while II is open.
Wards death yesterday was the
fifth I'm the monuments history He
climbed the stairs to the platform
at the top. asked man standing
there to point out the principal build
ings to him, then, without word
slashed his throat and threw him.
self through the east window.
His body brushed the coat OF Au-
gust Croissant, a guard who was
walking about the entrance. Had
Croissant taken another step for.
ward it is likely he would have been
crushed to death under the impact
of Wards body.
Practical jokcrs today kept police
headquarters and newspaper offices

that another jumper had made the
fatal leap today.
Funeral services for Henry G. An
derson, Spanish-American War vet

window Saturday, will be held at

A report on the legality OF own

Public Utilities Commission this
week by william. Mex. Clayton,

sion. 1t was learned officially at the

Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company cases. 1t was indicated.
CLAYTON, in the report. will give
his reasons for believing the owner
ship OF the bus company illegal
under the terms Of the La Toilette
Anti-Merger act.
He is also expected to advise the
commission that the ownership Of
the telephone and gas companies
is legal. There Is no possibility Of
Illegal purchase in the telephone
company case. he will probably re-
port. because the. Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company was
never purchased by the American

Counsel for the Rapid Transit
Company have not yet filed brief

legality OF the purchase OF their
company by the North American
Company.

will be up 10 the commission. The
whole question will probably be sub
mitted to Congress for. final decI

81 Bills Pending
There are already l27 District
bills pending on the House calen-

now before the House District

the House await Senate action.

will be important bills reported to
the House as a result of the inves-

One of the most important bills
now pending before Congress, in

the BorIand act to provide that only
the original cost of paving shall be

CITRUS SPECIALISTS.
MAKE ANNUAL VISIT

Mr.. A, D. Shamel. Physiologist, and
Mr.. G.. S. Pomeroy, Pomologist of the
Horticultural and Pathological Invest
igations, Bureau of Plant Industry,
the citrus specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture who
have attained prominence by their
work on citrus bud selection, made
another visit to Arizona during the
early part of the month. Approx
mately three days were spent in the
citrus district of the Salt River Val
ley which was followed by day
spent in the citrus belt of Yuma.
The gentlemen were especially in
terested in some of the younger citrus
paintings of Arizona that have been
set with trees which were budded
from the pedigreed bud wood devel-
Oped by them. A number of the
Marsh Seedless grape fruit paintings
and the Washington Navel orange
paintings have reached the age where
CAC HudhIy ctlu tOACuI0 vi CuS IIuIl
is such that definite conclusions could
be drawn as to what the results would
be under Arizona conditions. Both
gentlemen were encouraged and en-
thusiastic over the excellent showing
made by the trees this season.
In addition to the bud selection
work being carried out, Messrs. Sha-
mel and Pomeroy are making de-
tailed study of rootstocks. Most of
the citrus trees in Arizona have been
budded on what is known as the sour
orange rootstock. Many of the sour
orange trees are found throughout the
Salt River Valley and are of no COM
mercia1 value except for the seeds of
the fruit which are used in starting
nursery beds. Some of the older
groves of Arizona are budded on other
than the sour orange stock, most of
which has been found to be the
rough lemon. A few trees are known
in which grapefruit stock has been
used. A number of other rootstocks
are being studied by these specialists,
but at the present time all nursery
men are urged to remain by the sour
orange as the best rootstock for all
purposes.
