passing interest in the remaks of Sena
tor Rayner, who Jumped on the street
railways of Washington savagely and
scored them for violating their charters
and disregarding the rights of the pub
lic. Senator Gallinger did not defend the
roads, but he threw out the suggestion

'i could not help but recall the fact
that Senator Rayner lives in Baltimore,
where they have about the worst street
railway service that over came to my
notice," said Senator Gallinger

Single Tax League Calls on
Congress to Authorize
Improvement.
A resolution calling upon the Federal
Government to develop Great Falls as
a power and light plant for the benefit
of the city of Washington was passed
today at the closing session of tho
Women's National Single Tax Commit

the committee did not feel that it was

pal expenses, and development thus
acquire a national Interest,
A resolution Was also passed favoring
the conservation of forest and mineral
resources and one expressing sympathy
for the flood sufferers in the Mississippi
valley and urging the government.
States and individuals to contribute to a
relief fund.
The name of the organization was
changed from the Women's National
Single Tax League to the Women's Na
tional Single Tax Committee. The elec
tion of officers resulted In the selection
of Mrs. John S. Crosby of New York as
president; Mrs. Jennie L. Munroe of
achington, vice president; Dr. Mary
D. Hussey of East Orange, N. J., sec
retary, and Miss Jennie Rogers of
Brooklyn, treasurer.

Its first meeting.
FUND FOR RELIEF
WILLFALLSHORT
District Official Declares
Police and Firemen's Pen
sions Will Suffer by Bill.
Basing his calculations on the collec
tions f6r the fiscal year 1911, It was esti
mated by the Auditor of the District
today that $16,000 will be added to the
police and firemen's relief fund by the
bill which recently passed the Senate, a
sum which In his opinion will be Insuf
ficient to meet future deficiencies. The
measure provides that there be applied
to the fund receipts from Insurance li
censes. This was first considered by the Audi
tor as meaning that It was to Include
also the taxes on Insurance premiums,
amounting to a total of $88,000. In view
of the rapid Increase In the number of
pensioners and a falling off In the lines
In the Police Court, from which the
fund derives Its principal support, Mr.
Tweedale was of the opinion that the
larger sum would be Insufficient In a
few years to meet the demands on It.
Why He Hurried.
Carsone? I hear that no sooner did
he win her breach of promise suit
that he married her.

Naval Bill Passes Without
Provision, for Usual
Dreadnaughts.
The fight for new; battleships wao
transferred from the House to the Sen
ate today, when the lower body sent
over the naval approprlaton bill, which
makes no provision for new dread
naughts. The naval bill passed the
House late yesterday, after a long fight
waged by the Republican side to amend
the bill with an authorization for at
least one battleship.
Congressman Roberts of Massachu
setts moved to recommit the bill and
Insert an amendment for one ship Just
before the final vote was taken. His
motion was lost, 140 to 106, nine Demo
crats voting for battleships despite tl
Democratic caucus action declaring
against them. These Democrats wero
absolved from abiding by the caucus ac
tion. Earlier in the day the House voted
gown, 124 to 80, an amendment for two
dreadnaughts.
rt Is expected that the Senate will
Insert a provision for at least one first
class dieudnuujrht, and In this event
there tiny be a deadlock between tha
two houses.
Goes to Senate.
The naval appropriation bill will go
to thu Senate with one Important leg
islative "rider," without which no
budget leaves the House nowadays.
Chairman Padgett, of the Naval Af
falis Committee, offered as un amend
ment to the measure tho eight-hour
law bill, which paHsed the House last
December, but which has not been
acted upon In the Senate It was
adopted without dissent. The bill, or no
called amendncnt, provides that every
contract tri which the United State Is
a party shall contain a provision that
no laborer or mechanic Khali work
more thun eight hours a day.
The proviso applies to contractors
and subcontractors, and not only to
Navy Department contracts, but to all
others to which the Government may
be a party. By re-enacting the House
bill In the naval appropriation measure,
the lower body wields the "big stick"
over the Senate, which will be com
pelled to consider the eight-hour-day
law in an ordinary appropriation meas
ure. Carries 3 1:9,000,000.
As passed, the naval bill carries ap
proximately (119,000,000, which Is about
J 7, 500, 000 less than the current appro
priation bill.
The naval Increase will consist of two
fuel ships, six torpedo boat destroyers,
one tender to destroyers, four sub
marines. The latter auxiliary vessel
was authorized by an amendment pro
posed by Congressman Estoplnal of
Louisiana, and was not carried In the
bill as reported from the Naval Af
fairs Committee.
Congressmen Murray and Roberts of
Massachusetts obtained the adoption of
an amendment providing that when
vessels are In port enlisted men shall
not be employed on repair or other
work aboard which might be done by
civilian mechanics at yards.

Measure Providing For Gettysburg
Celebration Passes Without
Discussion.
Without discussion today the Senate
passed the Oliver bill appropriating $150,-
000 for the Gettysburg memorial celo
bratlon. The bill directs the Secretary of War
to make various provisions for the care

Steamship Men Confer
With Secretary Nagel
Thirty representatives of lake, river,
and sound steamship companies held
an extensive conference with Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Nagel today,
with reference to the new steamboat
regulations drawn by the Secretary and
Chief Steamboat Inspector Uhler, after
the Titanic disaster.
The conference also considered recom
mendations to Congress for changes in
.the present safety laws.
The steamboat men came to Wash
ington upon the Secretary's request to
give their views on the proposed legis
lation and regulations, which are much
more stringent than the old regulations.
Today's conference will probably be
the last of a long series of similar gath
erings in the Secretary's office.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The stock
market made up today In activity and
wide range of prices what It lacked
yesterday. Business started with a
hop, skip, and jump, and was at high
pressure through the morning Into tho
afternoon. There was much selling by
timid holders, and the bears seemed to
have more courage than for several
weeks. A' sharp drive was made In
railroad stocks after a strong opening,
rind prices of the leaders melted away
under, the fierce hammering they re
ceived. The downward tendency was
checked about noon, and some strength
wbb given to prices by the strong hold

frightened at the onset of the beufs

Wall Street suffers a shaking out
every time news comes over the wucs
of a Roosevelt triumph in the primary
elections, and today the same thing oc
curred over the result In New Jersey.
That portion of room traders who are
affected by the political situation was
not disappointed In the result, as It had
been forecast forty-eight hours ahead,
byt this morning the political prophets
of Wall Street declared that the triumph

practically assures his nomination at
