~ ISTRICT legislation made
q fine start last week with
passage by the Senate on
- Monday of the District
appropriation bill for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1895.
Tuesday the Senate passed the
bill amending last years authorize
ton to borrow 0,750, 900 from the
P. w. A. The present authorization,
II the funds are allotted, will per- .
NIT construction of the three court
buildings on Judiciary Square as
the first units of the new Munich
pal Center.
Also on Tuesday the House
passed the omnibus rivers and
harbors bill of $167 900 900, includ-
ing authority for an expenditure OF
S1,975 900 for improvement Of the
Washington water front and deep
ening of the Washington, George.
town and Anacostia Channels. The
water front improvement will cost
$3.50, 900, to be divided equally be-
tween the District and the Federal
governments. The channel deepen
ing cost of 1925 900 will be borne
by the United States. OF course, II
this bill becomes law the project
can only be carried out through an
appropriation act.
The Senate also passed the bill
to suppress prostitution In the Dis
trict, to permit the laying Of pipe
pipeline for petroleum products
under certain streets, to permit the
payment Of a salary, not exceeding
$1,000 annually, 10 a retired offi-
Ger of the Army serving as mill
tary instructor of the high school
cadets, and last, but not least,
bill authorizing a certain indi-
vidual to have issued to him
license to practice the healing arts
In the District. The comment in
civic circles indicates a rather
general willingness to have the
Commissioners clothed with power
to handle permits to lay pipelines
under streets and grant licenses to
practice the healing arts without
consuming the time Of Congress
for such trivial matters.
Action on the negligent homicide
bill and the small loans bill was
deferred on request of Senators
Who desired to study them further
or wished to address the Senate on
the subject.
At the District Building the out
standing event of the week was the
report to the Commissioners by
Inspector Bean on the so-called
tip-of in a gambling raid in the
fifth police precinct. The report
was not made public. but was
referred for review and recon-
mendation to committee consist
ing of Corporation Counsel Pret-
lyman. Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Capt. Clark and George
w. Offutt. chairman of the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board.

the Conference Committee. Every
item, including the lump sum as
passed by the Senate, can be JUS
titled upon grounds of absolute
need, government efficiency and
equity. Civic leaders declare IL
such considerations govern in the
conference they have nothing to
fear. Their fear is that other
matters Of an entirely extraneous
nature will be injected into the
consideration and a fair and good
bill, carrying absolutely essential
and urgent needs, will be either
ruined or killed.
Members Of the civic organiza-
tions. thoroughly convinced Of the
reasonableness of the bill with the
Senate amendments. declare they
are confident that If the rank and
file of the members of the House
would but look into the matter
they would give their approval and
see that justice is done for this
voteless and unrepresented COM
munity. They are still hoping for
the best.

since its establishment the first of the

Last weekend Roy Miller. who is
in charge, and his staff were kept
busy until am. Sunday trying TO
care for visitors who motored to the
city to see the cherry blossoms al
their best. Apparently the weather
kept few persons away. for they kept
arriving and seeking rooms until al
most daybreak.
Rooms in private homes are not
so easy to get at O'Clock in the
morning." Miller said. OF course, it
makes no difference at hotels where
they have a regular night staff. But
I found that a lot of people prefer
sleeping to getting up at that hour
to let in a transient roomer."
All callers, however, we're taken
care of before the bureau closed for
the Saturday-Sunday night.

Caused by Bite Only

Lest many dog owners be needless
ly alarmed because their pets evidence
any one or more of these symptoms,
which are also symptoms of other less
dangerous ailments, 1t must be borne
in mind that rabies is caused by
specific germ. No other germ In like
it, asserts a writer In the Los An
seles Times. 1t Is introduced only
through the bite of an afflicted animal
which inoculates the susceptible
through the broken skin with Its virus
laden saliva. The animal doing the
biting must necessarily be mad at the
time Of biting in order to transmit the
disease. 1t is remotely possible for the
germ to enter the system Of dog or
human through any open cut In the
skin II licked by the tongue of a rabid
dog. Nothing can cause rabies except
its own specific germ

Mackerei, a Kin to Tuna,
One of Athletes Of Sea

The mackerel Is related to the far
famed tuna, although 1t seldom ex-
ceeds four pounds In weight. But, like
a tuna, says the Montreal Herald, 1t
Is clean cut, clean living fish, and
it might be called one Of the athletes
Of the seas. Its muscles, which are the
edible part, are very well developed
and tend to be somewhat hrmer than
those that are found In less active
fish. 1t Is this development which pro-
duces the fine firm texture Of mack
erel, and 1t is also responsible for the
slightly darker appearance of the meat
1t seems that nature made the active
muscles little darker In color than
the non-active; thus we find that the
domestic fowl, which does not do much
flying, has white breast muscles, where
az the pigeon, which Ia famed for its
flight, has dark breast muscles. A
domestic rabbit has white flesh, wild
rabbit has dark flesh. Similarly such
fish as the salmon, trout, tuna and
mackerel, which are very active and
powerful swimmers, tend to have a
darker flesh.
The Indians and aborigines used to
think that in order to be strong and
brave one must eat animals that were
strong and brave.

Washington, D. C.-The first charter

Myers, of the Seattle district. The
new organization will be known as A.

TRADES COUNCIL

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night. Presi-
dent Charles Hosea presided and
twenty eight delegates were present
and answered the roll call.
The musicians reported that they
played at the dedication of the new
city hall with about 40 members in
the band, all members of the Musi-
clans Union
In our minutes of the last meeting
the Press stated that Inman's Band
would furnish the music two nights to
advertise the labor temple bazaar
This was an error on our part, and
should have read members of the two
local union bands played and volun-
teered their services.
Most of the delegates of the locals
had no report.
Frank Vidourek, of the bazaar COM
mittee, thanked all co-workers who
assisted in making the bazaar sue
cess.
Woman's Union Label League re
ported that they received two new
members at their last meeting.

Indians of Early Ohio
Believers in Wischcraft

The Indians of Ohio, firm believers
In witchcraft, generally attributed
sickness and other misfortune to this
cause, and were In the habit OF MUIR
dering those they suspected of prac-
ticing 1t.
When a redskin became SO sick he
was In danger of death, 1t was usual
for his tribesmen to place him In the
woods alone, with no one to attend
him except nurse or doctor, such
as they were. According to the rules,
no one was allowed to visit the sick
person except those who provided him
with medical attention.
Although visitors Of the sick were
thus restricted, when the person died,
anyone and everyone could attend the
funeral, at which there was usually
lamentation that would put to shame
some of the hysterical carryingon of
today.
More peculiar was the manner of
burial. For instance, In the lid of a
coffin made for a Shawnee chief holes
were drilled over his eyes and mouth
to let the good spirit pass In and out.
Over the grave they laid al sorts
OF presents in the belief that these
would be taken by the good spirit dur
ing the night And sure enough these
trinkets had all disappeared during
the night, removed by the hand OF an
"eyil spirit clothed in human body

 Coroner Questions
Q .

Lucille DiSapio, four-year-old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Carmine DiSapio of Il Bradley avenue, con- tinued to show improvement at Waterbury hospital. Struck Satur- day afternoon on Congress avenue her left foot was crushed so badly that doctors at Waterbury hospital were forced to amputate it.
 The girl was sitting on the steps in front of lava Brothers bakery, at 400 Congress avenue, when a car rolled down the hill, climbed the sidewalk and ran over her foot. At the wheel of the car was Peter Santa Lucia, 43, of 455 Congress avenue, while the vehicle is owned by Peter Varsallone, g, of the same address.
 Varsallone told Deputy Coroner Walter Smyth that he parked the car and went into his home, leaving Santa Lucia at the wheel. He said that the emergency brake was set. Santa Lucia claimed that he did not touch the brake and that he cannot drive car. He said the machine slipped its brakes and rolled away, striking first parked car and then climbing on the side walk and hitting the girl.
 When informed by the hospital yesterday that the girl will prob ably recover, Deputy Coroner Smyth withdrew from the investigation, leaving prosecution up to police.
