Horse That Was Named After Weil-Known Ken tuckian, Scores Victory. rf f? r- LUIMUUnil They were looking for Joe Morris at the Capitol today. They wanted to cheer him as he crossed the Capitol grounds, to wring his hand, to call his name aloud, to carry him upon their shoulders. So they sought him up and down the long, long corridors of the House Office building, and In the many turns and corners, and lobbies of the Capitol, and a ally with large presence of mind. In I office of Representative J. A. Can trill, of the Seventh Kentucky, for whom Morris is secretary. But Joe Morris was in Kentucky. Then they wondered, and smiled. Takes Feature Event. For Joe Morris must have seen his namesake lead from start to finish, nev er headed, and come under the wire with his own long length to spare. In the third and feature event at Latonla track yesterday afternoon, while urged with whip and spur, and a mighty host of thousands roaring, "Go on. You Joe Morris'" Joe Morris' namesake lowered the track distance, a mile and an eighth, bythree tenths of a second. There couldn't have been a more popu lar victory for the Capitolians. those strange nomads who camp on the hill every little while. Mr Morris has been secretary up there for several years, and Is known and Is liked in proportion to the knowing. Joe Morris Has Won Before. When that horse was named for him, everybody said he would be a winner. And Joe Morris (horse) has been a win ner not every time, of course, like Joe Morris (man), but often enough to keep his name from being ashes in the mouth of the talent Joe Morris (horse) wasn't the favorite at Latonia yesterday, but he was at the Capitol. There are some mighty loyal people tip there, especially in the Kentucky delegation. It is said that loyal persons would have drawn down about six for every one the new system vou know If they had "had anything on." Complaint Is Made Of District Stable The presence of fifty horses, some of which are said to be diseased. In the temporary new District stables, at Four teenth street and Pennsylvania avenue southeast. Is causing Indignation against the Commissioners among the citizens of Southeast Washington. Capt. W. M. Potter, chairman of the executive committee of the Southeast Washington Citizens' Association, today said the horses were put In the "makshlft stables" early yesterday morning before Jus tice Etafford, of the District Supreme Court, granted a temporary In junction against the Commissioners, en joining them from establishing stables at the new site. "These horses are said to be sick and already show what a menace such stables. If made permanent, will be to the health of our citizens," said Capt. Potter this morning. He declares the stables are without drainage facilities. "Monday I will petition the Commis sioners to immediately remove the horses, following the spirit of Justice Stafford's Injunction order," said Cap tain Potter today. Xext Wednesday evening the South east Washington Citizens' Association will meet to continue its campaign against location of the District stables at the proposed new site by the Com missioners. The association has already passed resolutions of protest against re moval of the stables to that section of the city. Andrew Wilson, attorney for the pro testing citizens, is confident of gaining a permanent injunction against the Commissioners in the case, and forcing the use of appropriations fort new stables at the present old site, near Tenth ard O streets northwest.

British Troops March Again at Bunker Hill BOSTON, Mass., June 17. The steadv tread of British troops was heard ti the vicinity of Bunker Hill today as on that memorable day 136 years ago, when the first Important conflict of the Amer ican Revolution took place. Today, hew ever, the Americans were not fortified on the crest of the hill ready to "fire when you see the whites of their eyes." The Americans were on hand this time in vastly superior numbers, and thev gave the British soldiers a warm recep tion, for the latter were the St. John Fuslleers, of St. John. N. B., who had come down on a fraternal visit to help in the celebration of Massachusetts' Fourth of July. The celebration cen tered in Charlestown, where the British troops marched in parade with the Mas sachusetts: militia and sailors from the .American warships at the navy yard. 1 . . i 1 Tlaffl ii liilii HUM I ft- .r ;? i ?J' SBJte? v 'i ' p I By Standing Directly Over the Long-Lost Rock. District Boundary Stone at Jones' Point Is Under Seawall. Following a careful study of old records, old newspapers, and old tra ditions. Fred E. Woodward, who has located other District boundary stones, has now found the lost cor ner stone, the 'first landmark" on Jones' Point This is tho stone at the southernmost corner of the District as ceded to thi- United Mates by the 5-tate- of Man land and Virginia, and Is located on the Virginia aide of the river In the half of the District re ceded to the State in later time. This stone. It has alwas been known. was located at Jones' Point, on the shore of Hunting Creek, below Alexr-.- drla. This location was known In a eneral way not only from Fresident Washington's directions to tne survey ors, but from old newspaper accounts, which Mr Woodward has found includ ing one in the "Massachusetts Spy," written from Alexandria. Friday. June 15, 1791. the date upon which the stone was placed. The article describes the ceremonies incident to the setting of the stone. Mr. Woodward's researches would have been unnecessary if in 1S55 the Govern ment had not built a lighthouse upon the point within fifteen feet of the stone and followed this up In 1S61 with a seawall which extended over and up on the top of the stone, hiding It from view. Hidden Many Years. "There for more than fifty years," says Mr. Woodward, "no one has seen this earliest landmark, an object wor thy our highest esteem and admiration. "This stone, still landing, though hid den from view, being under the gate way. In front of the south door of the lighthouse." Mr Woodward learned from the En gineer Corps of the War Department that "a report In that office made by mv. Sinclair In 18S4 on the trlangulatlon of the District, mentions a mark made on the face of the wall when the stone was discovered. In 1S61, undoubtedly for the express purpose or locating tne stone, should this ever become neces sary." , rnls mark now nas oeen iouna d Mr. Woodward, and there is no reason- aole ground for doubting that the stone lies immediately beneatn tne mam. From the data at nana, says .nr. Woodward, "It Is almost certain that the stone can be located about two feet and six Inches below the top of the sea wall and not more than seven to twelve inches back from the face of wall." Excavation Is Urged. Mr Woodward would like to see the Government authorize an excavation which shall exhibit to the sight this venerable and noteworthy relic of an earlier day It will take, he says, but a small amount of monev, and not much more would be necessary to protect the stone. "Such protection," he argues "might be secured by making a cement or mason ry niche In the present wall, protecting It In front by Iron bars or gratings, or the stone Itself might be raised so as to bring It up to the level of the top of the wall." It Is the disco'ery in Engineer Corps records by Mr Woodward of the note made by Mr. Sinclair In 1884 that gives the real clue to the location of the stone. Washington Actor "Busts" A Wild Maryland Colt Herbert W. Parker. 1G33 Rhode Island avenue northwest, who has been acting with stock companies In Washington this summer, can go Into the ramifica tions and refinements of "barnstorm ing." He proved it by doing a little "horse pley" out on the RIverdalo stock farm of R. W. 'Lone yesterdav pfternoon. He took a colt out of the barn, threw him down, saddled and bridled him, and then "broke" him. Hitherto nobody had been able to do anything with the colt. Afterward, while the horse was eating out of Mr Parker's hand, the actor said it was not a great thins for him to do. Mr. Parker used to "bust" bronchos in, Montana.

What probably are the two happiest youngsters In the city of Washington, and as well, the two happiest families are to b found in Tenth street north west. Byron Dailey, aged seven, and William Keister. elgnt years old, are the boys, and their happlnes and that or their parents, lies In the fact that they have returned home after many ad ventures In the wide, wide and strange old world, into which the lads sallied forth. It all began when Bryon's father took the two little lads to a baseball game at Seventh and Park road yesterday afternoon. After the game he gave each of them several pennies for "hokey pokey,'1 and told them to hurry home before it became dark. It was not until early this morning, however, that the two boys again saw S536 and 3545 Tenth street, where they live, and it was through the kindness of a big police man that they did get home. Just what happened after they were left consuming ice cream cones near the ball park and up to the time that their anxious parents again saw them Is a mystery for neither little lad could exactly tell. They "Just wandered around," they said today. About 3 o'clock this morning the Tenth precinct police were notified to search for them, and shortly afterward they were found curled upon a door stoop. -F To Get Us Beneficial Effects; Always Buy the Genuine YiarfiGS and EllXllH&NNA manufacture hyihe Sold ly all leading ( Drwjgists ' OneSiZQ Onl&iOf a Bottle I y CLASS NIGHT FETE HELD BY CENTRAL GRADUATES Addresses Made, Prophecies Read, and a Musical Pro gram Given.

HEALTHY MOTHERS Women who bear children and remain healthy are those who pre pare their systems in advance of baby 's coming. Unless the mother aids nature in its pre-natal work the crisis finds her system unequal to the demands made upon it, and she is often left with weakened health or chronic ailments. No remedy is so truly 4 help to nature as Mother's Friend, and no expectant mother should fail to use it. It relieves the pain and discomfort caused by the strain on the liga ments, makes pliant and elastic those fibres and muscles which na ture is expanding, prevents numb ness of limbs, and soothes the inflammation of breast glands. The system being thus prepared by Mother's Friend dispels the fear that the crisis may not be safely met. Mother's Friend assures a speedy and complete recovery for the mother, and she is left IffAflUlfflC a healthy wo- JVftJ illljKO man to enjoy JRnTnn the rearing of J MLoU her child.
