GARNER rs Boom
CROWS, TEXAN
REPORTS
Judge J. C. Canty After Five
Month Tour, Finds Business
Conditions ImproVing'

Business conditions through
out the United States are i'm
proving, and sentiment for
Speaker John N. Garner as a
presidential possibility is in
creasing, according to Judge
j. G. Canty, of Galveston,
Tex, who has reached Wash
ington after five-month tour
of the country.
Judge Canty, a lifelong friend
of Speaker Garner, with whom
he served more than 80 years
ago in the Texas legislature, is
here primarily in the interest Of
the bill to stabilize employment,
drafted by the Fraternal Order
of Eagles, of which he is grand
worthy president.
Before In Committee
The bill, now before the House
Judiciary Committee. is similar in
many respects to the La Toilette
bill, and Judge Canty said today
that his organization is not con-
cerned about the phraseology Of
the measure so long as the prin-
ciple is retained intact.
Judge Canty believes that
through the operations of the
bill proposed by the Eagles, bust.
ness can be kept on much
Sounder basis, without alternating
booms and set-backs. He said:
81 believe it is perfectly pos
sible, if industrial conditions
are thoroughly known and un-
derstOOd, to prevent future
crises.
HITS WATERED STOCK
"The plan provides for a ma
tiOnal commission, continuously
functioning, whose duty it would
be to study conditions and to
recommend to Congress meas
ures that would keep business
at normal.
zone thing that must be
done is to squeeze the water
out of watered stock. One great
utility company has already re-
duced its capitalization by one
half. That must come with
others too. Then corporations
can pay dividends and labor
will be sure of employment.
zone thing that has endeared
John N. Garner to the people
of this country is the fact that
he is not corporation man.
What we want today is to take
fear out of the heart of the
wOrkingman, and put conf
dence in its place"
Judge Canty will speak Monday
night at meeting of Washing.
ton Aerie of Eagles in Knights OF
Pythias Auditorium, when a class
of SO will be initiated.

Easter Blooms Plentiful
And Prices are Down
MATTINGLY

Easter flowers are plentiful
and inexpensive this year and
the Washington swain who wishes
to send his lady a corsage for
her holiday ensemble or potted
plant for her boudoir will have
a wide range of blooms from
which to select.
Roses, as usual, head the list
with plenty of fine blooms selling
at So a dozen up to $3.50. If
you want. American Beauties,
you may have to pay a bit more,
but not nearly so much as last
year.
Lilies Are Abundant
Lilies are So a dozen or so
cents a bloom, if you want a
potted plant. They are even
more abundant than last year
and about one-fourth off in price.
Violets are So a bunch and sweet
peas may be had as low as 81.
If the lady of your heart has
exotic taste and fanies orchids,
you may buy her a spray at as
low as S. or Sc. And they will
be beauties, at that, for the
orchids this year, the majority
of them imported from New Jer-
sey green houses, have never
been so gorgeous. Washington
florists deal almost exclusively
with the New Jersey orchid
growers.
Has Violet Monopoly
Other cut flowers and potted
plants for the holidays are grown
chiefly in local nurseries. One
local grower has almost com

SPRING FLOODS
ELIMINATED

Spring floods that inundated
the low-lying areas of Bladens-
burg appear to have been elimi'
mated since the channel Of the
Northeast Branch was dredged
by the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission.
Despite the blizzard early in
March and recent heavy rains
there have been no floods this
year.
Robert B.. Morse, chief en-.
gineer of the commission, said
today that the dredging was only
a temporary cure for the floods,
as the channels would silt up in
a few years. He said the san1-
tary commission had under con-
sideration several plans for
permanent flood control.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Ten to
fifteen men and women will enter a
busy midtown office today-to an
nounce that they are thinking of
committing suicide, and would like
to talk it over.
The number almost has doubled
in the last year of the depression.
Two thousand would be suicides

National Save A Life League here in
1881.
In the seven months of 1882 TO
date, that number already has been
equalled-and the list grows daily.
Las: week, eight persons. all men,
committed suicide in New York City.
three by hanging, two by gas, two by
leaping from bridges and one by
poison.
Forty-five more attempted suicide
unsuccessfully, most of them boys
and girls in their 20's.

The Rev Harry M. Warren,
director and founder of the league.
has dedicated his life to that work
for the last twenty-five years, ever
since sermon in which he offered
to help those thinking Of self de-
struction.
Ten persons came to him for aid
then, and the work of the league
began. Since then he has advised

Today he directs the work from
his suite of offices, employs ten per-
sons including four advisors, and
maintains a rest home" on a
beautiful estate at Hastings-o
Hudson, where destitute and I'M
happy men may recover their
strength while the league seeks jobs
for them.
Painful though the realization
may be, suicide is more common
among the educated classes than
among the illiterate masses" DR..
Warren says
Financial reasons, nerve strain,
frustrated love, physical illness and
fear Of discovery, take their toll.

Judge Lays Much Crime
to Extreme Liquor Laws
Create Contempt for Other
Statutes, Says Baker in
SpeakeaSy HoIdup Case.

Blame for much crime and law
lessness was laid to extreme liquor
laws" by Criminal Judge Frank P.
Baker Monday.
In short lecture from the bench,
the Judge declared stringent liquor
laws have created contempt for
other laws"
Sentencing four youths convicted
of robbing Elnis Sheel, 26 East
Fourteenth street, proprietor of an
alleged speakeaSy, Baker continued:
These boys reasoned that it
would be easy to rob this man of
liquor, because he would be afraid
to call police. From plans to get
liquor, it was not far to plans for
taking money.
These boys would not have
robbed filling station, or store.
They saw that this man was
making some illegal money and
thought they might as we'll have
some of it,"
Baker explained the case did not
warrant high penalties for robbery.
He found the quartet guilty Of
grand larceny and sentenced each to
the state reformatory l to 10 years
The youths are:
Harry Burke, 20, of 1913 Washing

BRITAIN PLANS
TO PRESSURE
U. S. PLANTS
Empire Farley Talks Ways
and Means to Force
Use of Goods.
BY CHARLES NJ. MCANN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

OTTAWA, Ontario, July Is. -
Plans to force use of empire
products upon more than 1000
branches of United States factories
in Canada, and to substitute coal
from Wales for anthracite from
Pennsylvania were discussed infor-
mally here today by perplexed en-
pire economic conference delegates.
The delegates. working in COM
mittees and subcommittee, are
fearful lest one dominion be given
a trade preference that may injure
another; that their own producers
back home may lose foreign Gus
toner.
If the coal deal should be COM
pleted, the state would lose about
one-Tourth of their export coal bust
ness to Canada, about a half mil
lion tons of coal trade. Great
Britain now furnishes about 10000
tons annually.
Heavy Loss Faced by u. S.
The loss to the United States in
dollars and cents trade should the
deal go through as planned, would
be about $3,500,0O0, enough to keep
many a Pennsylvania or West Vir-
ginia coal miners family in winter
food.
Increased export of Canadian
lumber to the mother country is the
price this country expects Britain to
pay for discarding some of the
United States coal.
AS for the branch factories estab-
liShed here at a cost of a billion and
half to evade high tariffs imposed
against United States products after
passage of the Smoot- Hawley tariff
bill, they are at the mercy of the
Dominion.
The plan is to require that at
least so per cent of the value of the
product manufactured must be paid
out in British empire labor or Brit
ish empire raw materials.
Make Them ValueIess
The teeth in the proposal is the
plan to refuse these branches the
/
lower tariff rates granted to Empire
Producers. Failure to obtain these
rates would force the plants to close
and make them practically value
less to present owners.
Most of the $500 100000 invested
in branch plants is for the man
ufacture of automobiles or Access
series, chiefly tires.
General Motors and Ford are re-
ported actively fighting the pro-
posal.
Indication has been given that
Indil, the colony Dominion, and the
small colonies will protest against
any trade preferences to Dominions
that will interfere with their own
profitable foreign trade.

DELAY BUDGET CUTS
County Chiefs Mark Time
on Pruning lob.

With county commissioners wait
ing to see what the legislature
does" before filing a budget request,
it appeared today annual pruning of
1893 county appropriation schedules
may be delayed several weeks.
Councilmen can not start their
economy drive, which doubtless will
mean wholesale slashing of budget
requests, until commissioners survey
1888 appropriation figures.
An unprecedented amount of
wrangling over valuation figures, yet
unfXed also will delay work of the
budget makers.
The board of review, which adj
justs property assessments, has an
extension of time for completing its
work and will not adjourn until
Aug. 9.
Meanwhile, twenty-five county
officials who demanded budget in
creases for 1888 are the target of
criticism from groups fighting for
tax reduction.
