The Senate's District Bill.

The Senate has passed an appro-
priation bill for 1885 which shows
great improvement over the made
ouate allowances carried in the meas
ure as it left the House. The differ
ences will require conference, which
will begin In a few days, and the hope
of the District is that the conferees
will be able to reconcile conflicting
points Of view in a manner that re-
fleets sincere desire from both quar-
ters to legislate fairly and adequately
for the local community.
While the Senate has allowed a
total increase of S3,267215 over the
amount approved by the House. exam
ination of the bill shows that the in
creases are devoted mainly to four of
the citys important departments
public welfare, the schools, the police
and highways. In public welfare the
Senate has sought to supply the Dis
trict'S new health officer with ade-
quate funds with which to undertake
a broader and more enlightened pro-
gram of public health protection and
to improve the service rendered by
overtaxed public hospitals. For the
schools the Senate has wisely en-
deavored to make a delayed start on
the school building program by per-
nitting additional funds for new
buildings and required additions to
existing structures. For the police
the additional personnel and equip
ment recommended by the police and
municipal officials and urged by dele
cations of citizens demanding more
adequate police protection have been
permitted. And for the highways the
Senate wishes to make available for
expenditure on necessary enterprises
some of the money collected in gaso-
line taxes which otherwise would 20
unspent, accumulating In the Treas
ury as an unusable balance.
To make these increases, the Senate
has increased the Federal lump sum to
the amount proposed by the Commits
sioners, representing an average Of
the lump sum appropriations over the
past ten years. This higher lump
sum, s8,317oOo, would finance about
$2,6l7,000 Of the increases sought, the
balance coming from local revenues.
Certainly the need for the increases
permitted by the Senate has been
fairly demonstrated in the lengthy
hearings before the Senate subcom-
mittee which conducted such a full
and impartial inquiry into proposed
items for expenditure. And 1t is diff
cult to find logical explanation of rea-
sons why the Senate's manner of
dealing with the needs of the District
cannot be made the rule of Congress
In legislating for the District.
Before passage of the bill by the
Senate yesterday Senator Copeland
paid pleasant tribute to the work of
Senator Thomas of Oklahoma as
chairman Of the subcommittee han
ding the bill. Said Senator Copeland:
want to pay tribute to the
devoted, unself1sh service rendered by
the Senator. The people of the Dis
trict owe him great debt of gratitude
for what he has done, at a sacrifice |
Of time and energy, to try to meet the
needs Of the citizens of the District.
That is debt which the citizens of
the District are happy to acknowledge, |
and praise in which they readily join.

GLEN MCCARTHY
AT THE RACES

Scores Of ladies who own
horses are winning races-includ-
ing stakes, and winning 'em
a-plenty. In a recent race at an
important track each Of the seven
starters was owned by a member
of the fair sex, and in a race at
another track the winner be-
longed to a man, but the next
seven to finish were the property
of women.
A goodly share Of these lady
owners are sole proprietresses Of
their stables. many OF them
widows.
Time was when the name Of a
woman owner was mere camou-
flage; her husband was a profes-
sional owner or trainer-most
often both, and did not care to
race the horses in his own name.
In his early days as owner
trainer the late Sam Hildreth
would appear as owner OF his
horses at one meeting, Mrs. S. c..
Hildreth at the next. I never
knew the whyfore and wherefore
of this switching about Of sup
posed proprietorship. Mrs. Al
bert Simons, Mrs. Nose Gold
blatt, Mrs. M. c. Lyles, Mrs. c: F..
Darnell often "fronted" for the
stables of their husbands.
I have an idea that Mrs. L. A.
Livingston, now living in retire
ment in a lovely suburban home
in Washington, was the first
American woman horse-owner who
actually bought or bred the horses
that carried her "blue, silver braid
and cap," and she maintained the
expenses of her stable. Many
cracka-jacks won important stakes
for Mrs. Livingston.
The first woman's name you'll
find among Kentucky Derby win
ming owners is that of Mrs. Lasca
Durnell, in whose name ElWood
won the big Churchill Downs race
in 1904. But Elwood was really
the property Of her husband,

and paid the bills.

Special to The Washington Times
CAMP LET'S, Nd. Sept. T.
Pleased with the results of its ini-
tial trial, George Washington foot
ball coaches will intensity prac-
tice on the new huddle and shift
that will be a feature of the Col
onial attack this season.
Today, for the second time,
"Possum Jim" Pixlee ordered a
long scrimmage in which the var
sity players, equipped with plays
run from new formations evolving
from the huddle and shift, were
to meet Jean Sexton's freshmen
outfit. Yesterdays scrimmage,
the first Of the training grind,
saw the innovation absorbed and
executed by the varsity with
greater facility than had been an
ticipated.
The Colonial varsity, lined up
with no significance as to regular
starting assignments during the
season, whipped the sturdy fresh
men in the first scrimmage. The
frosh, though big both physically
and numerically, had not enough
time to effectively organize a de-
fense. Today. however, should
tell a different tale, for the year
lings went to the showers after
the drubbing in no frame Of mind
to take another.
The field, literally flooded We'd
nesday and Thursday, has been
fairly dried by a draining pro-
cess directed by Pixlee yesterday
morning. A pair Of mules and a
plow borrowed from neighboring
farmer cut deep burrows that
drew the water off to the river
adjacent the field.
