A man drove up to Washington Pub- He School two days ago, put a ton and a half of coal in his wagon and drove away. The robbery was discovered by the school officials the following morn- ing. The only thing the police had to work on was the trace of the wheels of the wagon. The bunkers of the school had just been filled with coal for the Winter months. The Citizens' Band gave a concert last night at Washington and Prince streets. Two squares on Henry from Prince to Cameron streets are being im- proved with a bituminous macadam roadway. It is expected that the work will be completed within the next three weeks. The city has just opened up two more squares of improved roadway on Prince between Fayette and West streets. This street was copened Thursday for traffic. It gives a fine roadway on Prince street from the river front to the extreme western limits.

Although the tariff furnishes the ve- hicle in which Mr. Cummins first rode to nation-wide attention, his real life work in the Senate was in the molding of railroad legislation. His t serious task in life had been in »nd construction and ° while he turned later from that to the law, it s held his interest. Long On I C. C.

Three years later it stood as the er to the consummation of his tion to remain as chairman of the e commerce committee while serving as. President of the after the removal of Calvin Coolidge from the Capitol to the White House. The Republican insurgents conducted a bitter fight against him, and finally, by joining with the Demo- crats, unseated him. A Democrat, Ellison D. Smith. of South Carolina, succeeded him. although the Repub- {licans controlled all the other stand- ing committees. Native of Pennsylvania. Born February 15. 1830, near Car- michaele. Pa., Mr. Cummins was the son of Thomas and Sarah Cummins, | His father was a carpenter and the {son picked up the elements of that | trade as an odd-time helper to his |parent. He attended public school {and later entered college at Waynes- | boro. *Early in his college career he |felt the call of the West, and, borrow- {ing $50 from a banker uncle. set out |for the territory beyond the Missis- sippi. After a long journey he landed in | Towa. but soon found that the tales {of untold riches easily acquired in | that then virgin country were in a s« with some of the myths re- counted in the books of his school {days. After his liquid assets had dwindled to $6 he obtained a place | in the office of the recorder of Clayton | County. The pay was small, and | when it became necessary to refurnish his wardrobe he went into the country, where as a carpenter .he helped to build a mill, receving $1.50 a day. | Later Mr. Cummins got a job in |the express office at | Clayton County, on the Mississippi. | There occurred the thing destined to | change his whole future. A college | friend at Fort Way him a job as & Allen County. With many misgivings the young man took the job and soon began work as a railroad builder. Left on Own Resources. | The immediate job was completing | a link of the Cincinnati, Richmond |and Fort Wayne Rallroad through a swamp. Cummins had no experience and was depending on his surveyor friend to coach him, but the friend passed him In the swamp without ppirs, and so the new surveyor left to sink or swim. Senator Cummins liked to tell friend about those days-—how with great trepidation he went out over the line, dismissed the workmen for the | day’ so they would not immediately learn of his ignarance of the job he had tackled, and then began a careful canvass of the work that had been done so as to get ideas on how to pro- ceed. In the end he did the job so well that' he was called to a position with the Northern Central of Michigan, which he constructed. It was while engaged in this work that he met the, voung woman who later became Mrs, Cummins, then Miss Ida L. Gallery of Eaton Rapids, Mich. Began Study of Law. The work on the Michigan road at- tracted the attention of capitalists, and he was offered a position by those who were building the Rio Grande. Cummins started for Den- ver, but he never got there. While waiting for his train in Chicago a friend suggested that he remain and study law, which he did. After being admitted to the bar in Chicago he removed to Des Moines, where he worked his way to thé front rapidly. It was without his own consent that he broke into politics in 1887 when some Republicans bolted their party and named him as an inde- pendent candidate for the Legislature. He was elected and served one term. Five years later when the leaders of the Republican party in Iowa set ahout to reclaim the State from Dem- ocratic rule, he was made the chair- man of the State convention. Soon afterward Mr. Cummins made his first fight for a place in the United States Senate but was defeated by a narrow margin, He rallied to his sup- port many young men, and the party divided into Cummins and anti-Cum- mins elements. In 1901, after a stormy campaign, he was elected governor, a place he held until his election to the Senate. Laws to Control Roads. ‘While governor he started a thor- ough investigation of railroad taxa- tion, rates, earning and capitalization and engaged in a long struggle against some of the practices of the rail carriers in his State. On his recommendation the Legislature put through the 2-cent fare law, the anti- pags'law, the joint freight rate law, an act limiting hours of railroad em- ployes and the primary election law. Senator Cummins in 1874 married Miss Gallery, to whom one daughter, Kate, was born. Mrs. Cummins died in February, 1919, and after that time the Senator lived with his two sisters, Anna, and Margaret Cummins. Be- sides his sisters, his family consisted of two brothers, B. F. Cummins, a manufacturer of Chicago, and J. C. Cummins, an attorney of Des Moines. SENATE BODY NAMED. Committee Appointed to Attend Fu- noral of Colleague.

CUMMINS FELT DEFEAT KEENLY AFTER 25 YEARS’ LOYAL SERVICE Towa Senator, However, Had No Personal Feeling Against Brookhart—Planned to Write History of Life of L) F o BY DAVID LAWRENCE. PAUL SMITHS, N July 31.— “To be beaten by Brokhart!"” this was the recurrent phrase which the late Senator Albert B. Cummins carried to his death as the unforgivable re- proach bestowed on him by the people of Towa after 25 years of public serv- ide. 1t represented no personal feeling toward Col. Brookhart, but a deep disappointment that as between meritorious public service along liber- al-congervative and experimental lines, the voters of the State should suddently reject experience and choose a newcomer of radical thoughts. Few men can understand 'political defeat if they have been faithful and loyal servants of their constituencies. They do not see the turn of the tide in opposite directions. Mr. Cummins was warned that his State was grow- ing radical on the subject of farm relief. He veered to the economics of the corn belt organizers slowly, but too late, and there were some who questioned even his . eleventh-hour switch to the McNary-Haugen bill. Saw Wider Revolt Coming. It was a sincere effort, however, to understand his constitutency and there is little doubt that the more he studied the subject the more con- vinced he became that the primary election which sent him to his defeat was symptomatic of even more ex- tensive political revolt against East- ern Republicanism. Senator Cummins had no inkling of death, nor did he have any of going into complete retirement. Only a few days ago this correspondent ra- celved a letter from him discussing his plans to write a biography. Under — e New Hampshire, president pro tem- pore of the Senate; Overman of North Carolina, ranking minority member of the judiciary committee; Borah of Idaho, ranking majority member of the judiciary committee; Smith of South Carolina, ranking member of the interstate commerce committee; Robinson of Arkansas, Democratic leader of the Senate; Curtis of Kan- sas, Republican leader of the Senate; Reed of Missouri, Watson of Indiana, McKellar of Tennessee, Lenroot of Wisconsin, Willis of Ohio, Ernst of Kentucky, Harreld of Oklahoma, Nor- beck of South Dakota, Reed of Penn- sylvania, Neely of West Virginia, Shipstead of Minnesota, Means of Colorado, Deneen of Illinois, and Wil-. liams of Missouri. The entire Iowa delegation in the House of Representatives will be des- ignated to represent the House at the funeral. High tribute to the character and service réndered by Senator Cummins during his long career in Congress was volced by some of his colleagues who were at the Capitol today. Senator Heflin, Democrat, of Ala- bama paid this tribute: “I was deeply grieved to hear of the death of Senator Cummins. He had a fine judicial mind and was an able statesman. He will be missed.” Senator Sheppard, Democrat, of Texas made this comment: “I have been associated with Sen- ator Cummins for 14 years and always regarded him as one of the ablest and most effective members of the Sen- ate.'"” . % PAID ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS MORRIS PLAN BANK 76 Years. date of July wrote: “The whole subject is somewhat chaotic, or at least undefined. I have for a long time had in mind to write a narrative of my life, but, until re- cently, T had not thought seriously of writing anything in the nature of a history of my political experiences. 1 have been urged to do it. but T am somewhat appalled when I think of the character of the undertaking. Outlines Literary Plan. “I have been, as you know, in public life for 25 years, and have been rather closely connected with the im- portant events of that time; and with men who have carried on our affairs. I intend, shortly, to begin writing upon what I call the first 25 years of my life, being the period of prepara- tion, and the second 25 years, in which I devoted myself almost ex- clusively to my profession; but I have not yet concluded what I shall do with the last 25 years embracing my public seryice. You can easily see that if I should undertake it, it would be practically a history of the last quarter of a century.” The passing of Senator Cummins will mean a loss of one vote to the regular Republicans in the session of Congress which begins next De- cember. Ordinarily, the new Senator from Iowa, whether he is Col. Brook- hart, the Republican nominee, or Claude Porter, the Democratic candi- date, would not take office until the regular session of December, 1927. Now both men probably will seek to have their names placed on the bal- lot as candidates for the unexpired term of Senator Cummins, so that whoever is elected in November next will take-his seat in December of this year. 23, Senator Cummins Loss to Conservatives. Col. Brookhart's defection from the ranks of the regulars is well known, and, of course, if the Republican voters of Jowa should support Mr. Porter as they dld Daniel Steck, the present Democratc Senator, the loss to the Republicans in -the Senate would be inevitable. Either way, President Coolidge loses a stanch supporter .and the margin of safety for the conservative Republicans is reduced. In a short session of Congress this may not be as important as in a long one, because a minimum of legislation probably will be sought by the admin- istration—mostly appropriation bills and matters on which non-partisan ac- tion can be assured. Senator Cummins was well liked 30 ATTEND OUTING OF VESITING NURSES Tired "Mothers and Children Take River Trip Through Co-operation of Star. Leaving the heat and humidity of the city behind them, 300 mothers and children—many babes in arm— boarded the steamer Charles Macal- ester as guests of the Instructive 1 Visiting Nurse Soclety and The Star jand journeyed down the Potomac last | night for three hours of cool breezes {and freedom. | A pleasant surprise for the party | was afforded by Frederick Mertens, jr., one of the operators of the Charles Macalester, who, after a visit through the ship shortly before she slipped from her dock at the Seventh Street wharf, ordered that the steamer make an additional hour's run below Mar- shall Hall, the usual terminus, Seven Nurses Make Trip. The children and their mothers who made the trip recelved invitations from nurses of the Instructive Visit ing Nurse Society, and many of those on the outing were patients or former patients of the nurses. Seven mem- bers of the nursing organization made the trip and aided mothers in car. ing_for their youngsters. Unlike The Star outing of last Fri day, when older children were more in evidence, last evening's trip was aulet. The children. most of them, were t00 small to display much- ap preciatior. of the Botomac. But there were smiles aplenty and real content- ment demonstrated in the pervading good nature of the erowd. The youngsters peered with open mouths nto the engine room of the 38-year-old steamer, watching with amazement the gyrations of the great driving shaft of the side-wheel ma- chinery. Others curled up on canvas stools or the leather-cushioned seats of the aft cabin and some were soon lulled to sleep by the river breeze and motion of the boat. A heavy shower threatened as the ship neared Marshall Hall, but no rain fell, and the storm, which was perhaps a remnant of the hurricane that swept thes lower Atlantic coast- line, conspired merely to make the outing cooler. And Then the Ice Cream. At Marshall Hall the few regular passengers aboard went ashore and then six kegs of ice cream for the children were opened. There was enough to satisfy the last member of the party and the crew besides. The Charles Magalester docked at the wharf here &% 11 o'clock. all pas- sengers safe and happy, though many of them were sound asieep. The nurses making the outing were Misses Agnes E. Davis, Grace John- son. Helen A. Jordan, Mary F. Stone, Florence Lentz, Rebecca Sweeney and Margaret McAlpine. The outing was iplanned by Miss Gertrude Bowling, supervising officer of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society, in co-operation with The Star. by his colleagues. He was an inde- fatigable worker and of the construc- tive type of legislator. Although the Esch-Cummins railroad law, of which he was joint author, has been severely criticized by organized labor, never- theless there are many parts of it which will stand out always as having helped to bring America out of the chaos of the war into the calmer days of re- construction. To return the rail- | voads to private ownership after the inevitable tangle of Government con- trol was no small task, and Mr. Cum- mins, who had always been interested in raflroad legislation from the days when he fought the railroads in Iowa, spent days and nights trying to frame an act that would meet the views of wall parties at interest. Few of the older statesmen are left in the Senate now. The mantle of power passed on to younger men with the direct’ primaries. A change has come with the turn of the first quar- ter of the century. There has been developed a new senatorial type, in- fluenced much more by opportunism and sectionalism and less by broad- gauged national policies which used to produce real leadership.

I be- lieve the problem is_essentially one of economics, the solution of which should not be left to the doctrinaire or to the deals and trades of poli- ticlans. “You cannot legislate prosperity for the farmers, and yet, right or wrong, the farmer feels that the Government has done much for business and should do something now for him. “Equilibrium between the farm and industry has: not been maintained, because an_ unduly high protection to the products of industry, while the products of agriculture are not protected, means a profit on indus- try, but a tax on agriculture,” he Hotel Inn 604-610 9th St. N.W, Daily, $1.00, $10.50 weeki shower and ‘la more.
