SEES CLOSE BONDBETWEEN NATIONS

Brazilian Editor Thinks Dr.Muller's Visit Will CementTies With United States.

That l>r. I.auro Muller, the Brazilianminister of foreign affairs, who arrives inWashington tomorrow, is a warm friendof the 1'nite.l States and that his visitshould do much to cement friendship be¬tween the two nations was the state¬ment made yesterday afternoon by SenorJose C. Rodriguez, owner and editor ofthe Journal do Commereio of Rio deJaneiro, who went to Norfolk on the May¬flower with Secretary Bryan and othergovernment officials yesterday. He willcome back to this city tomorrow with Or.Muller.Senor Rodriguez spoke optimistically <>f

the possibilities for greater trade devel¬opment between the T'nited States andBrazil, and of the feeling his people en¬

tertain for the United States. Unlikesome other South American countries, hesaid. Brazil is very friendly toward thisnation, and is anxious to become more

friendly. The visit of Dr. Muller, hethought, should do much to assist thismovement.

Knows United States.

Senor Rodriguez knows the UnitedStates very well, and has been closely in

touch with its political and commercialhistory for the last score of years, lie is

particularly interested in the Panama

canal. He published a newspaper in NewYork a number of years ago. and hasbeen in Washington before. While in NewYork he was a friend of Horace Greeley, i

Raymond and other famous editors of |forty years ago. i

The Brazilian publicist expressed the'opinion that trade relations between this Icountry and the United States should be |greatly improved by the passage of thepending tariff hill. He said that trade hadundoubtely been kept down by the pro¬tective tariff policy of the United Statesin recent years. United States farm ma¬

chinery and automobiles, he said, find a

particularly good market in Brazil.

Interested in Canal.Sertor Rodriguez is interested in the

Panama canal because of deep study he

gave the question while the French were

still trying to build the big waterway.

He told yesterday of having visited the

isthmus on behalf of different newspapersbefore the T'nited States got possession,and of having predicted at that time thatthe French attempt would be a failure.He later wrote a book upon the subject,and devoted a large part of it to discuss¬ing his belief that in order for the canalproject to be a success the United Stateswould have to undertake it.He was somewhat reticent on the Pan¬

ama tolls question, although expressingthe opinion that the United States madea mistake in negotiating the Hay-Pai.nce-fote treaty w.th Great Britain. Under a

strict reading of this treaty, he said, hecould not see how the United Statescould pass American vessels through thecanal without charging tolls.The American ambassador to Brazil.

Mr. Morgan, is very highly thought ofin that country, according to Senor Rodri¬guez. He said that Mr. Morgan hasproved very satisfactory to the Brazilianpeople, and is a very good type of diplo¬mat.

!Auld Lang: Syne

By WALT MASON

As wc grow old and sere and cold, we're prone to brood andpine o'er olden ways and vanished days and things of auld lang

syne. "The world, I wist," so we insist, "becomeseach day more punk; there is no truth in modernyouth, and all men deal in bunk. No gifted potessing golden notes that every heart can feel; no

speakers make the welkin quake like those whoused to spiel. No Greeley now, with bulgingbrow,.wields trenchant pen and ink,.producingscreeds the whole world reads and then si^s downto think. No Susan B. do mortals see amongthe suffrage ranks; her tongue is stilled, her placeis filled by futile female cranks. No EdwinBooth expounds the truth concealed in Shake¬speare's plays; but on the stage there rant andrage a lot of tin horn jays. The world's a quince,

that was, long since, a peach almighty fine; we backward turn andsigh and yearn for days of auld lang syne." In fifty years the laugh¬ing dears who hear us mourn. I trow, will sing the praise of bygonedays as we're doing now. "The year '13," they'll say, I ween, "wassuch a golden year! And mighty men were forward then, such as

no more are here! Where'er we gaze we see cheap jays whereonce the men were fine; and so we sigh for days gone by, the daysof auld lang syne!"

APPEAL BY THE DISTRICTON THE TRANSFER ISSUE

Exceptions to Ruling in Local Case

Declaring Reciprocal Arrange¬ment Unconstitutional.

The bill of exceptions to the rulingmade by Judge Mullowny in the PoliceCourt last Friday, when he granted amotion to quash an information againstthe Capital Traction Company, has beensigned by the judge. Corporation Coun¬sel Edward H. Thomas immediately filedan application for a writ of error in thejCourt of Appeals.The charge against the Capital Trac¬

tion Company was that it had refusedto accept the transfers issued by the'Metropolitan Coach Company. The mo¬tion to ciuash, brought by Attorneys R.Ross Perry & Sons, Edwin Allan Swingleand G. Thomas Ehinlop, representing therailroad, declared that the law orderingthe issuance of these transfers was un¬constitutional and void for a number ofreasons. This contention was upheld bythe court's ruling and the informationwas quashed.

Seven Exceptions Noted.Seven exceptions to the» ruling appear

in the bill of errors. The first exceptionadvanced by (he corporation counsel isthat the court erred in quashing the in-formation. The second exception Is thatthe Police Court has jurisdiction in thecase, the defense having argued that thematter was a constitutional question andthat Judge Mullowny was without juris¬diction.

It is also claimed in the application fora writ and the bill of exceptions thatthe Police Court erred in holding therewas no mutuality between the coach andthe traction companies under the transferarrangement provided by the act of Con¬gress dealing with this question. Thecourt held, according to the exceptionsnoted, that the benefits of such an ar¬rangement accrued largely to the coachcompany. Mr. Thomas contends that nomatter of fact pleaded in the case toJustify this ruling.Mr. Thomas further claims that the

court erred in holding that the act de¬prived the railroad company of its prop¬erty, represented by its tolls and fares,without just compensation and due proc¬ess of law. .

Impairment of Contracts.The fifth exception noted is that the

court erred in holding that the law underwhich the information was filed impairedthe obligations of a contract between thecompany and the l"nited States, the con¬

tract named being the company's charter,granted by an act of Congress, and inholding that the act was in violation of a!constitutional amendment, because it de¬prived the railroad company of its prop¬erty without compensation and due proc¬ess of law.The next exception set forth in the bill

is an objection to the Police Court rulingthat Congress exceeded its "general policepower" in making the law in question.The last objection to Judge Mnllowny'sruling is the general one that the act isconstitutional, contrary to the PoliceCourt opinion, and therefore valid.

It is expected that the Court of Ap¬peals will require but a few more days toexamine the papers In the case, whichwere sent to the court today, and thatthe writ of error will be granted beforethe end of the .week.

Oat in The Star's Edu¬cational Films.

The Star's anti-fly film will beshown

TOMORROWat -Stanton Park Airdrome.

4tli and Maryland avenue northeast.

The cost of the fly to the United Statesannually is $:tTiO,000,000 and 170,<>00.000years of human life.This is but one phase of the fly prob¬

lem which is brought out in The Star'seducational film designed to impress upon1 the public the dangerous habits of theInsect. IEvery citizen who is impressed with

the importance of abolishing this vermin-carrying, bacteria-breeding foe to man-,kind should first learn of the habits ofthe pest In order that he may be betterprepared to combat it at every turn. TheStar's film seeks to supply this informa¬tion. It will be shown tomorrow at theStanton Park airdrome, 4th and Mary¬land avenue northeast, and at a largenumber of other motion picture housesthroughout the summer. Proprietors ofWashington's theaters of ttiis class aremanifesting every desire to co-operatein the campaign for the extermination oftiie fly. and the fiim eventually will beshown in every section of the city.Circulars Distributed in Schools.Dr. Murray of the health department

yesterday finished the task of superin¬tending the distribution of ?Jh.OOO fly cir¬culars among the pupil* of the publicjschools of the District of Columbia. Healso arranged to have a large number ofthe educational posters distributed byagents of the Associated Charities."Everywhere citizens are manifesting a

determination to fight the fly along sys¬tematic lines, and 1 look for splendid re¬sults by the end of the season,"' said Dr.Murray today. "The public is wakingup to tlje seriousness of the matter. Peo¬ple are beginning to realize that the flynuisance is the greatest menace to theirhealth. It is my opinion that there arefewer flies now than there were at thistime a year ago. and the pest horde willsurely decrease if the instructions setforth in The Star's circular dealing withthe fly are followed to any extent by thecitizens of the capital."

STUDENT ACTORS FIETO ESCAPEVACCINATION

Wild Scramble Ends Perform¬ance by Seniors of Colum¬

bian College."Health Officer Woodward" brought to

an abrupt ending a j»lay being presentedby senior students of Columbian Collegein the university assembly hall last nightwhen he swooped down upon the unsus¬pecting cast and informed the membersthat they would have to be immediatelyvaccinated. This was all in the plot, tobe sure, with the part of the health officertaken by H. G. Avers of the graduatingclass. There was a wild scramble forthe wings, which left the stage deserted.Finally M. A. Pozen. as Kemble IrvingHennessy. coach of the G. W. I". Dra¬matic Club, timidly approached the foot¬lights and announced to the audience thatthe dramatis personae had disappearedand dancing would be the program forthe remainder of the class night celebra¬tion.

There were two acts. Nearlyevery line was tilled witii good-naturedraillery at the expense of some one con¬nected with the university and the quipsand parodies kept the audience in an al¬most continuous roar of laughter.One of the musical hits was "That

Chemical Lab. Rag." sung by Mr.Pozen. Before rendering this numberthe author explained the origin ofthe turkey trot. "Ther*- are two kindsof music." he said. "One producesemotion: the other motion. Rag he-longs to the latter class. When theraggy sound wave strikes the ear ofa susceptible object every molecule inhis body changes its rate of vibrationand the result is a turkey trot."
