BY THOMAS =. HENRY.

The universe Is growing larger ut
the rate Of about "a, 900 miles q second.
The cigarette smoking Of American
stenographers is having q notable ef-
feet on archaeological explorations Of
ancient American civilizations.
Genes, the ultimate "atoms" Of life,
determine not only the physical char
acters, but the life processes Of the
individual.
The ''greenishness" of nature de-
pends on the peculiar chemical struc-
ture of q half dozen pigments.
These are among the new finds Of
science exhibited to the trustees Of the
Carnegie Institution Of Washington
last night after their annual meeting
yesterday. The exhibit will be open to
the public, with explanatory lectures,
starting this afternoon.
Genes in Double Role.
One Of the most notable develop
ments Of the year was that the genes,
so tiny that they are invisible under
the most powerful microscopes and
which have long been considered the
units Of heredity, play double role.
First, single genes or combinations of
them determine physical characters,
such as sex, the color of the eyes, the
size Of the body, etc. But they also
play q dominant role in the vital
functions of the organism, 50 that the
combination Of the whole probably is
necessary for normal living.
In the case Of the fruit fly, the IA
'vorite animal for genetic research, a
few cases are known in which two or
three genes were missing and in every
case, although the physical changes
were very slight, the deficiency re-
suited in death. Presumably the same
rule runs through all organic nature.

the Carnegie Institution, now engaged
in a long program of study of the
ancient Maya ruins of Yucatan and

effort to locate all the old city sites
within the next few years, DR.. A. ".

McCarI Rules Contractor Must
Pay Despite Rain in California

held rain was something that would
make the delay permissible. The
contractor protested, but got nowhere.
There was nothing to show, said
McCarl. that the weather was "un-
usually severe" or that it could not
have been anticipated in that region.
As g matter Of fact, he added, going
to the record, the Weather Bureau said
they had four rainy days there while
the work was under way.
Then came the McCari conclusion
which win not endear him to Cali
fornians:
TT u contemplated that q prudent
contractor in agreeing to commence
work within . certain specified period
and to complete same within certain
stipulated days thereafter, takes into
consideration weather conditions which
ordinarily prevail during such seasons
Of the year (December) at the site Of
work and submits his bid accordingly" !"

This area is the headquarters for
chicle used In chewing gum. For
many years past 1t has been pene-
trated by chicle hunters. But ciga-
rette smoking by girls has lowered the
demand, so that fewer and fewer
parties are going out, with the result
that the area will be much more diff
cult to explore in the next few years.
Studies of the recession speed Of the
island universes, millions Of light
years distant in space, have revealed
q movement outward close to $4,000
miles q second, it was reported by DR..
Walter 8. Adams, director Of the
Mount Wilson Observatory. This Is
the highest speed Of which there has
yet been any physical evidence and
serves to give extra support to theories
Of an expanding universe.
At the meeting Of the trustees
yesterday appropriations totaling
81 ,575, 900 were made to support re-
search for the coming year, including
the activities Of the geophysical and
terrestrial magnetism laboratories here.
A new division of animal biology was

AT NORTHEAST SAVING
Park Savings Claimants Instruct.
ed in Method of Distribution,
Starting Monday.

More than $4,000 is waiting un-
claimed at 1406 G street for more
than $500 depositors in three insol-
vent Washington banks.
This was disclosed today with the
announcement that depositors In the
Northeast Savings Bank, Seventh
Street Savings Bank and Washington
Savings Bank have failed to call fol-
many of their second dividend checks
The largest amount remaining is to
the account of creditors of the North
east Savings Bank. Out of the Sec
ond dividend of rs per cent, amount
ing to $262, 900, which was paid be-
ginning October % to $500 deposit
ors, there still remained at the re-
ceivership more than $500 checks
totaling over $4,000.
The Seventh Street Savings Bank,
which began paying second dividend
of 80 per cent October 80 to 1887 de-
positors, totaling $315,000, still had
left today more than 800 checks total
ing more than $38,500.
$1,000 Still Unclaimed.
The Washington Savings Bank be-
gan q second dividend payment July
"a to 1,700 depositors, amounting to
$4,000, and there still remains at the
G street receiverShip Office more than
$50 checks totaling $1,000.
Norman r. Hamilton is receiver for
five banks, three of which have paid
. second dividend. All receivership
business for these banks is conducted
at the old Office of the former District
National Bank at 1406 G street.
Instructions have been issued mean
while to Park Savings Bank depoSitors
concerning the method to be used in
paying them the 20 per cent dividend
to be available Monday at am.
The dividend is the first declared by
the Park Savings since the bank holi-
day In the first weeks of March, 1888,
and will mean the distribution Of
approximately 100000 to claimants
before Christmas.
Bank Open Days.
John F. Moran, receiver, announced
that for three days-Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday-the bank will be
open from 9 am. to pm. After
that the bank will be open until S
pm. daily except Saturday. when the
doors will close at noon.
To speed up payments the windows
will be divided alphabetically. It will
be necessary for depositors to present
the receipts for their claims, which
were given to them at the time the
7claims were filed. They will then be
required to sign the receipt, for the
purpose Of identification, and the
check and receivers certificate, with
the dividend payment Endorsed on 1t,
will be delivered. Moran announced
that checks will not be delivered to
claimants who failed to present their
receipts, and only those depositors
living considerable distance from
Washington will be able to receive
their checks by mail.
Anxious to Serve.
Moran also said depositors who have
not yet proved their claims will have
to wait approximately two weeks to
get their dividend.
I'VE are anxious" the receiver said,
ito serve the people in the quickest
way possible and are keeping the bank
open the three nights in order that all
may have an opportunity to get their
checks before Christmas"

BAKERY PRODUCTS
N0WSAFEGUARDED
N. W. Edwards Declares
Acid-Pouring Incident Can
not Be Repeated.

Assurance that customers Of the
Dutch Baker Boy, Inc, need have no
fear that the alleged actions of the
two persons charged with pouring
acid on Dutch Baker Boy products will
be repeated was given today by M. w.
Edwards, president of the bakery.
John Leonard Dorsch, 23. of 1918
Kalorama road, and James Carlin
Merchant, 21, Of 1110 Trinidad ave-
nue. northeast, arrested in connection
with the acid pouring, were released
under $500 bond yesterday pending q
Police Court jury trial.
Fortunately" Edwards said, "the
acid which was poured on Dutch Bak-
er Boy products after they had left
the plant was discovered by the vigi-
lance Of the Dutch Baker Boy sales
man, F. o. Dowell, before use and
was not Of sufficient strength to do
harm. Apparently this was the only
instance in which the products of
Dutch Baker Boy were harmed.
These acts are the latest in what
is believed to be long series of at
tempts to drive Dutch Baker Boy, Inc,
out of business because it is an open
shop.
"On several occasions Dutch Baker
Boy employees have had to ask police
protection from molestation by persons
alleged to be union men. The shop
has been picketed almost continuously
by union men during the past two
years.
Dutch Baker Boy has never dis
missed any employees because of union
membership, or otherwise violated Sec
ton IA of the N. r. A. act, although
it has been falsely charged with so
doing. Recently it dismissed three
employees for violation Of company
rules against drinking and one for in
efficiency. These men after their dis
charge became members of the union
and the union complained to the Ma
tional Labor Board. The board has
not yet rendered its flnal decision on
the case"

|CANNON ARRANGES
ITO RUSH DISTRICT
BUDGET HEARINGS
Seeks to. Bring 1886 Esti.
mates to Close by Next
Week End.
MINOR EXPENDITURES
REVIEWED BY DONOVAN
Welfare, Public Schools, Police
and Fire Items to Be Brought
Up Later.

Plans were made today by Chairman
Cannon Of the House Appropriations
subcommittee to expedite hearings on
the Districts 1896 budget estimates In
order to bring them to a close by the
end Of next week.
Although the hearings hays been
under way four days, little attention
has been given the detailed estimates
Inc Time has been taken up chiefly
WIN q discussion Of the Districts
financial situation and the ever
troublesome fiscal relations question.
Views Miscellaneous Expenses.
So far the subcommittee has pons
over In detail only small portion of
tne Voiuminous book Of estimates, tax
ing up today the contingent and mis-
ceilaneous expenses with Mai. Daniel
j. Donovan, auditor and budget oficer
as the witness. The big items cover
ing welfare, public schools and police
and f1re departments will not be
reached until early next week. Two
Gays probably will be devoted to these
items alone, leaving the subcommittee
only four days in which to 20 over all
the remaining items and hear civic
and business leaders.
At any rate, Chairman Cannon IL
confident the subcommittee can finish
It's work by next Saturday. During
the holiday period, the appropriation
Dill will be whipped into shape 80 il
can be reported to the House q few
days after Congress convenes Janu-
ary 3.
Cannon said the tax study being
made by the Treasury at the direction
OF President Roosevelt would not delav
the bill from being reported. He does
not believe this survey will be COM
pieted Tor some time, and pointed
out that II 1t results In q recommen-
dation for q higher Federal contribu-
ton than carried In the bill as II
passes the House, the Senate would
nave the privilege Of increasing the
amount.
Fiscal Relations Discussed.
Fiscal relations was one of the
principal subjects discussed at the
committees session yesterday, but
there was no indication as to the
amount OF the Federal contribution
to be written into the bill. The
Suoget Bureau recommended $780,
600, the same as Appropriated for the
current fiscal year, which was re-
duced. however, by the deduction of
90 per cent Of p. W. A. allotments
Ihis brought the contribution below
81. .o0o. 900. the lowest in history.
The committee also gave consider
able attention to the estimates of the
Public Utilities Commission. Rich
mond B. Keech, a member of the COM
mission, explained the various items in
his budget and discussed the utilities
situation In general.
Representative Blanton, Democrat.
OF Iexas appeared elated over Keechs
report on the telephone situation, and
told newspaper men after the hearing
that due largely to Keech's activities
the public would receive q Christmas
gift" In the form Of a refund from the

ROOSEVELT MUST
APPOINT JUDGES
Successors to Given, Cobb
and 0'TooIe Expected to
Be Named Soon.

With the expiration yesterday Of
the term Of Ralph Given as a Police
Court judge for the District, Presi-
dent Roosevelt is now faced with the
task of three important District ap-
pointments.
The other two are the appointment
OF a successor to Miss Mary O'Toole,
whose term on the Municipal Court
bench expired last January, and the
appointment Of Q successor to James
A. Cobb. whose term as q Judge in
the same court expired last March.
President Roosevelt intimated some
weeks ago that he hoped to clean
up the District patronage problem as
soon as possible after the November
elections, but there has been no hint
that he was nearing a solution.
These judgeships carry q salary of
$1,000 year, which Is sufficiently
large to attract many so-caIled de-
serving Democrats.
Await Qualification.
The long delay in appointing q
successor to Judge O'Toole, who was a
Republican. IS understood to have
been caused by the fact that the
White House has been waiting until
woman Democrat who has been Sc
lected for this bench position has
lived in the District long enough to
answer the requirements of law which
stipulate that appointees to this bench
shall be resident Of this city for i've
years. It Is understood this woman
soon will be able to answer the resi-
dence requirement.
The case Of Judge Cobbs place has
been q real problem to the Presi-
dent. He is the only colored Judge on
this bench and although he was ap-
pointed by Republican President
and is credit with being q Republic
an, he has been indorsed for reap
pointment not only by the local bar
association, but by many prominent
Democrats.
Two Aspire to Post.
There have been q number of can
didates, however, principally among
colored lawyers of Washington, for this
coveted bit Of patronage, most prom
inent among these being Almond Scott
and Charles Houston.
There Is reason to feel Judge Given
will be reappointed. At the time he
was appointed to the bench by the late
President Coolidge, he had served more
than a quarter of q century as
assistant United States attorney for
the District at Police Court, and his
selection was in no way Influenced by
politics, but he was appointed because
OF his recognized fitness for the place.
Unless President Roosevelt very
shortly decides whether or not he will
reappoint Judge Cobb to the Municipal
Court and appoints q successor to
Judge O'Toole, he will be faced with
four vacancies in that court. The
terms of both Judge George G. Aukam
and Judge Nathan Cayton expire in
February.
