 The spongcs and bavarian creams and ice-boX cakes are decidedly festive and can be made on Satur- day and tucked away in the regri- gerator until wanted.
 Salad dressing should be made on Saturday and kept on ice. Don't overlook the many excellent pre- pared salad dressings on the mar ket that are a boon to the busy home-maker.

1892 RAIL TOURIST
INCREASE EXPECTED
Growth This Year Indicates Heav.
ier Travel by Bicentennial
Visitors.

A material increase in 1891 tourist
tranic on the railroads indicates the
numbers OF visitors to the National
Capital by train next year on the oc-
casion Of the Bicentennial celebration
probably will be three times the GUS
tomary number. Daniel L. Moorman,
assistant general passenger agent Of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, told
members of the Transportation Com
mittee of the Washington Chamber If
Commerce yesterday.
Railroads, according to Moorman,
are making q determined effort to
spread the tourist traffic over the en-
tire year to alleviate the seasonal In
flux of the Spring.
William A. Van Duzer, director of the
department of vehicles and traffic Of
the District, outlined to the committee
the traffic light installation program
he is advocating, pointing out the
whole situation is being carefully
studied with the idea Of placing lights
only at intersections where the trafiic
density reaches 200 vehicles per hour.
Capt. Herbert C. Whitehurst, high
way engineer for the District, discussed
with members Of the committee the
plan for cutting through Thomas and
Logan Circles. This matter Is being
under Grover Blackstone.
The meeting of the committee, which
was held in the Burlington Hotel, was
presided over by George z. Keneipp,

CONFERENCE.-The
TO ACT ON RAILWA
Mount Vernon & Alexandria
Line Still Runs, With SoIu-
tion Left Up to Congress.

A conference at the Treasury Depart
ment yesterday afternoon between rep
resentatives Of the Government and the
Mount Vernon, Alexandria & Washing
ton Railway left the question Of dispo-
sition Of the tracks of the railway, which
cut through the Federal building trt-
angle, just where 1t was before-as un.
settled as ever.
Robert L. May, owner Of the line.
with his attorney: Gerdner L: Boothe.
conferred at length with Assistant Sec
retary Of the Treasury Heath and his
assistants on the matter.
A proposition was advanced in the
form Of bill which would throw the
matter into the local courts for de-
termination of the amount of damages
which May claims he suffers by loss OF
his railway, but no agreement on this
proposed legislation was reached.
Workmen Dig Around Tracks.
Meantime the railway continues to
run through the building sites where
four great public structures are under
way. The railway recently lost q suit
for Injunction to prevent the Govern
ment from tearing up the tracks with
out compensation, but pending an ap-
peal by the railway to the Court of Ap-
peals of the District the railway Is al
lowed to continue operating over its
tracks. Large gates have been provided

cross building sites at three places-be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth streets,

teen and a Half street between Con.

The Treasury long ago attempted to
get permission from Controller Gen.
eral McCarl to use appropriated funds
to reimburse the railway, but McCarl
held no funds now appropriated could
be used for the purpose. Now the
railway and the Government are at
loggerheads and the Federal building

GEN. COXEY IS HERE
WITH MONEY PLAN
Leader of Famous "a Army
Terms Present Crisis
Much Worse.

Gen. Jacob s. Coxey, newly elected
mayor of Massillon, Ohio. who led his
famous army" to Washington in 1894,
was back in the Capital today. This
time he is here to push as an emerg-
ency measure in the coming Congress
hts plan for the naturalization Of legal
tender money without interest, secured
by community. non-interest bearing
25-year bonds for public improvements
and utilities
This, he believes, would afford i'm
mediate relief for the depression. From
his headquarters in the Willard Hotel,
he II preparing his program for enact
ment Of his measure.
Gen. Coxey Is opposed to the welfare
drives all over the country, which, he
says, "are leading us up to the dole Sys-
tenn, because it is giving money away
without any labor return"
Calls Crisis Worse Than '94.
He believes in paying money for
services rendered and would do this by
issuing low denomination bonds in
small denominations and at q low In
terest rate. Through his method OF
financing, Gen. Coxey predicted, labor
would be able to pay its bills and buy
the necessities Of life, while merchants
would be depositing money in the banks
and the banks loaning out these bonds
the same as national bank notes.
Conditions now are much worse than
in 1894, the general asserted, and there
is no investigation as to what is the
cause Of the business depression. The
welfare drives he characterized as q
"camoufiage." insisting the depression
has been brought about by q bank
credit collapse.
Plans No March on Capital.
IT want Congress to issue 81, ,4OO, ,000,-
900 in payment Of adjusted service GER
tificates," he explained, adding that II
Congress would pass q bill authorizing
50, 400, 900 900 in full legal tender money
and let the Secretary Of the Treasury
take up these service certificates and
cancel the loans of about 81, 900 OOO, 600,
this money would be put into immediate
circulation. The best of it, he said, is
that no taxes would be required, as 1t
would be merely an authorization and
the property of the whole country would
be back Of this.
Gen. Coxey does not propose to lead
another march on Washington, but
says there ought to be 100000 hunger
marchers to awaken Congress to action.

The proposal for liberalization Of the

been chairman of the Rules COMMITTEES.

In the House with an iron hand since
war days. But 1t came by direction OF

sideration.

Then developed an even more acrl-
monious two-hour debate as to whether
Smell, lust chosen as the partys can

to succeed himself as floor leader,
should become minority leader In the
event that the Democrats organize the

Gratis actually elect Representative
John N Garner of Texas, the decision
on this point was laid over until after

Texas as Speaker and probably to
name Representative Henry T. Rainey
