HUNT FOR WOMAN
ASSA|LANT FA|LS|
200 Men and BIoodhounds
Unable to Trace CoIored
Man in Takoma Crime.

The search for the colored man who
attacked Mrs. Clara Millar in her home,
Takoma Park, Md, Wednesday has
thus far failed. More than 200 men,
aided by bloodhounds from Occoquan,
tramped the woods for two days in
search of the man. Mayor Ben G..
Davis of Takoma Park is considering
increasing the $500 reward offered for
the capture of the attacker.
Mrs. Millar was attacked as she was
taking an afternoon rest at her home
Her screams attracted two men working
nearby and at their approach the
attacker fed. She was removed to the
Washington Sanitarium nearby. where
today she was reported on the road to
recovery.
Members of the Washington police
force assisted the hastily organized
county searchers and although two per-
sons were arrested, a colored man and
woman, they were both released after
questioning. County police say they
are at loss for clues and State help
probably will be requested by Mayor
Davis.

PARKING RULES CHANGED.
Seventeenth Street From T. to M
Affected in New Order.

A two-hour parking limit on the east
side of Seventeenth street from l. to
M streets and one-hour restriction on
Connecticut avenue from Northampton
to Livingston streets between a IN. and
s pm, was ordered today by the Dis
trict Commissioners on recommendation
Of Traffic Director William II. Harland.
The two-hour limit on Seventeenth
street was induced by complaints from
business men In the HOO block of Sew
enteenth street, who pointed out that as
result of the parking restriction on
the west side of the street. automobiles
are parked all day on the east side,
thereby interfering with their BUSH
ness.
The restriction on Connecticut avenue
also is the outgrowth of complaints by
business establishments.

the prerequisites Of service In the Sen
ate, but a grave and solemn response
bility to the people, who have, by their
votes, delegated their authority in the
Senate to each individual who serves
the Nation in this branch OF the Con-
greSS.
THE people should always have the
opportunity to reject, by elections, the
political theories and philosophy OF even
ex-Presidents."
Senator Thomas ]. Walsh, Montana,
says: II cannot think the change in
our system as suggested is at all deSir-
able. If President quits at the end of
his first term, it is. experience shows, in
all probability because he is out Of SYM
pathy with the general sentiment of the
country. Obviously 1t would be in
advisable to give him a seat in the
Senate, where he might be able to over
throw the expressed will of the people.
President Taft carried but two States
in the election of 1912. 1t would
scarcely be consistent with either Demo-
cratic or Republican principles there
after to give him persuasive and
possibly a controlling voice in the
Senate. If the President should serve
two terms, and leave with the general
appreciation of the people, he would
easily be elected to the Senate by the
people of the State of his residence,
who should appreciate. as we'll as those
of the whole country, the advantages to
his State and to the Nation of making
him Senator. But it occurs to me
that the basic objection to the plan is
that 1t is entirely inconsistent with the
theory of representative government"
Senator Arthur Capper, Kansas, said
there were some things to be said in
favor of having a former President in
the Senate, the chief one being that
the country might have the benefit of
his experience. Then he added:
But, on the other hand, such action
would mean great fundamental
change in our conception of the charac-
| ter of the Senate. The addition of a
Senator from the United States, so to
speak, would entirely overturn the con-
stitutional provision and concept that
the Senate is the legislative branch
representing the sovereign States as
such.
ut is true that the election of Sen
atorS by direct vote has, in a measure,
weakened that concept, but nevertheless
| it still exists. The Constitution, also
as I understand it, provides that the
| equal representation of States in the
Senate shall not be disturbed without
the consent of every State. In other
words, it would require unanimous ap-
prevail by the several States to amend
the Constitution so that an ex-President
would have seat in the Senate with
| the power to vote.
Your question, to my mind, brings
up the related one of allowing members
| of the cabinet to sit in the Senate, with
speaking, but not voting, privileges.
am inclined to believe that this is
entitled to very earnest and serious con-
sideration, and the matter of EXPIRES

That mysterious island of Capri is
undergoing big change. Only a few
years ago it was the favorite spot OF
students, artists and writers the world
over, but now trade and commerce
have awakened the islanders and
Capri of bygone days is fast becoming
a myth.
The last stanch representative of
the artistic colony of so years ago Is no
more. The American painter c. C.
Coleman, who abandoned the island
only once to return home to fight in
the Civil War, has just died in Capri
at 81 years of age. Coleman was an
essential part of Capri. and he faith

Constipation is one of the worst

bilious, weak, SallOw, fretful and

At the first sign of constipation
give your child a little California
Fig Syrup. Children love its rich,
fruity flavor. It's purely vegetable,
gentle but certain laxative, and
it gives tone and strength to the
stomach and bowels so they con-
tinue to act normally, of their own
accord.
Thousands of Washington moth

Nash, I'LL Columbia Road. saws:
MY little girl, Peggy, had conSti-
patton. Her breath was bad and
she never wanted anything to eat.
She was fretful, pale and weak.
Nothing seemed to help her
until I got some California Fig
Syrup. Her trouble stopped after
the first few doses, and she amazed
me by the way her pretty, natural
color came back. Soon she was as
playful and happy as ever, and
she's been gaining ever since"
