Both houses of congress have ,
passed the withdrawal bill, but In the

Issuance of 130,000.000 of certificates
> to be added to the reclamation fufid. I
Since this Is tectonically an appropria

Taft w ants the withdrawal bill ,
enacted Into law, and Is fearfull lest
Ita referen<» to a committee may de

DISCUSS PANAMA
CANAL EXSOSmON
WASHINGTON, L>. C, June 16.—
The House Committee on Foreign Af
fair* to-day declined to decide wbe
liter the government should favor Sni
Francisco or New Orleans ns the cl<;
In which a celebration of the opcnlni
the l'anama canal should he heid
and the matter will he postponed unti
the next session of Congress. The corn
mlttee reported hills on behalf of but,
; cities, the only comment being
“Any city that can raiso 17,600,001
for an exposition in 1916 is entitle!
to consideration by Congress.”
Hearings will he held next wintei
I before the House Committee on In
dustrlal Arts and Expositions.
California members and member
jot the committee said to-day that th•
Jeffries-Johnson prize light was no
considered In connection with the Kali
resolution, and that it should have n<
; effect on a decision of postponement
Representative Kahn, of California
said: “X see no connection betweer
the two. However, tho decision of thi
committee to-day suits us. CaltfornU
already has the money.”,,
Representative McKinlay, of Call
fornia, said. do not think that thi
two events should be confounded. Thi
pries fight matter and tho exposltlot
ure entirely distinct."
Representative Hayes, California
declared thHt he saw no connectloi
between the Jeffrles-Johnson fight ant
the selection of the exposition site, s<
fat as Han Francisco s advantages art
| concerned.
Representative Sims, of Tennessee
**l favor New Orleans, but I woulc
no thave voted against Kan Francisco
simply because she permitted a prize
tight. I do not think that the twe
things have any connection ”
Representative Miller, of Kansas,
said: "Not that tho question has so
shaped itself I would not vote for a
State or city that encourages prize
fighting. 1 think a State should ob
serve the wishes of Its people, and
the peopig of the country, for the
vast majority of them are opposed to
such sports. Therefore, I wmuld ba
Inclined to favor a (State which re
spects the sentiment of the majority
of its inhabitants.”
Representative Douglass, of Ohloi
”1 am (lad ths fight has been stop
ped. It should have been flopped
long ago. I am surprised that It
has been allowed to run so long. Do
vou think we would permit such ex
hibitions In Ohio or the District of
Columbia?'*
Delegate Andrew*, of New Mexico,
said: "I regartj it is detrimental to a
State to permit prjte fighting. None
of the F.astern States would do It.
Some members doubtless would be
inimical to favoring a Slate where
su<h practices are condoned.”
“I do not see that the geographical
location and advantages of a proposed
exposition site would Is* changed be
cause a prise fight happens to be held
there,” said Representative Madden,
of Illinois. "Although I am not a
prise fight exponent, 1 do not see that
there Is any connection between a
prize fight in 1911 and an exposition
four years later. It would not affect
my vote."
Representative Gaines, of West Vir
ginia: "I eee no connection whatever
between the two event*. X do not
suppoee I will eee either, but I would
not deny that privilege to any one
who want* to witnees either the fight
yx the aspcMlUoa.”
WILL HIVE CHINEE
TO TELLTpiES
Committee oa Ordinance Charter
and Reform to Hold Open
Meeting.
ALL MAY GIVE ADVICE
Cold Storage, Funeral Hack Hire
ad Street Cara to be
Discussed.
CitUensv nursing grouches against
the existing order of tilings In general,
ranging from the high lost of living
down to the Increased expense attend
ant upon dying, will be given an op
portunity to air their grievances and
suggest remedies Thursday night, when
the Committee on Ordinance, Charter
and reform will hold an open meet
ing.
The pubiic ia invited to attend. In
deed. Chairman Jacob Umlaut wants
every discontented resident of Rich
mond to come before the committee,
toll why he is dissatisfied, and what
he thinks ought to be done about it.
Altogether It will lie very much like
an •’experience meeting of the
"Knockers' Union, unuftillated ' Un
like most "Knockers, meetings," how
ever, this particular one will not im
probably result in something being
done in the way of reform.
Cold Storage Arguments.
Among the many and variegated sub
jects due to come up for discussion is
the regulation regarding the placing
of food in Cold Storage, or In plain
words, a discussion of the high cost of
living, or ttie cost of high living as one
sees fit. There have hern many mut
terings throughout Richmond during
the winter Just passed, following the
inevitable comparison of the contents
of the weekly pay envelope, and the
grocer s' bill.
The unanimous verdict has been that
money doesn't buy as much as it used
to or ought to and in a majority of
Instances, the cold storage proposition
has been blamed as responsible.
As a result, an ordinance haa been
proposed regulating the period for
which food stuffs may be kept in cold
siorage. And at the meeting this or
dinance will be discussed. If a ma
jority of citlsens favor it, it will go
on to the council with the recommen
dation i hat 11 be passed. Otherwise
It will be killed.
High Cost of Dying.
It ta a far cry from the high cost
of living to the cost of hack hire
when one wants to attend a funeral,
but such is the figurative leap to to
taken at the meeting
Recently, it win lie remembered,
j owners of that type of hacks in de
i mand when It Is necessary to ride to
j the cemetery decided that if, since
I it cost more to live, tilings should be
proportionate, accordingly, they
talsed the price.
Immediately there arose a loud
I wail of protests from all sections ot
» i he city, for there is no on* in all
; Richmond whom those hacks or oth
; ers like them will not follow at some
| future day,
i And so, the matter is to ha thresh
I «vd out at the committee meeting
1 Citizens will he given an opportunity
to slate whether or not they think
the hacks are worth the "higher
hire." The hack owners, too, wll
he given a (’Hilts to defend their ac
: tlon. After both sides have beer
heard, ihe matter will be dropped til
i an ordinance fixing the hire at a ter
t tain figure will be framed, accord
| Ing to Nhe weight of the arguments
>if course, no knockers* meeting
could possibly hi- complete with,on
*ym>.VmUvt1'kuyg *_rop or/wo jgi ft}*
j street (Hr*, and this particular irleet
trig will prove no exception to th*
general rule. In this instance citi
ton* will argue pro and con as to th(
, advisability of fon Ing the cars t>
stop oil both sides of the street t'n
L der Present arrangements, the cars
, atop on only one side It is posslblt
, that following the discussion an ordi
’ nance may be framed demanding
[ them to stop on either side of al
streets interesting on their runs.

Thursday (■> the effect that nothing

It »a« stated, however, that the

than either the Haltimore and t thlo,

I heard Its whirring motor as It flew
BlrdUke. above the Hudson's placid
Stream;
A moving apeck against the cloudlets
blue.
A while It showed, then vanished
like a dream.
The greetings cheer* of upward-gailng
men t
Were answered by the steamboat
whistles shrill;
Re-echoad from the Palisades, and
then
Once more the Sabbath's morn wag
calm and atlll.
A wondrous tight! and worthy to In
spire
The mind with visions, wonderful
and atrange.
Of days approaching whan the fre
quent filer
At will shall through the upper re
glone range
And he—the maker, of Inventive mind.
Who. afteri years of patient toll and
care. ’ —
Perfected It—what crowning Joy to find.
Himself the conquering hero of the
air!

One fertile wlah was ..flashing through

Oh- that X had «a airship ctf
