'HONESTY
POLICY."
We believe that it will pay everybody to do
a clean and legitimate business.
It has paid us.
You have never heard of a big and prosper
ous business with dishonesty as its foundation.
Such a business is bound to fall sooner or
later.
It can't be lasting.
It may flourish for the time being but it's
sure to be found out after a while.
Honest methods pay in the long run.
Giving new garments for old ones that don't
wear as recommended may seem like big losses
to some short-sighted merchants but it's just
such treatment as this that has helped to build
up this big business.
We'll never have a dissatisfied customer if
you do your part.
Your part is to complain and give us a
chance to make it right.
Overcoats.
To tell of our -whole overcoat
6Uck would blinply be a long tale
of a succession of saving. We
made every one we hhow and
though you are asked to pay a
great deal more elsewhere you
can't flud finer garments. $7-50
starts 'em for a good kersey Mil -stnutinlly
lined and trimmed

Moore s he is the cause of all his

last September he learned from the other

very friendly during his absence. They

THIED TO KILT, HIS PARENTS.
Motive Was to Obtain $000 In
surance Money.
.Lowell, Mass., Dec. 4. Alfred Howe,
twenty-one years old, was arrested yester
day afternoon on a charge of attempting
to murder his father and mother- The pris
oner's motive was to get $900 insurance
money.
Wednesday night Mr. and Mrs. Howe
were awakened by a sense of suffocation
nnd round the room full of gas and a jet
turned full on.
Last evening Mr. and Mrs. Howe went out
to visit friends, leaving Alfred at home
making Some slight repairs on the organ
in the drawing room with a large mallet.
It was 10:40 p. in. when they returned
home. The gas, which should have been
burning II. the hallway, was extinguished,
and together they stepped into the drawing
room.
Suddenly the woman cried; ''I'm shot,"
and as her husband turned toward her
he was struck between the eyes aud feh
to the floor dazed. Somebody ran from
the roorr in the darkness and out thro igh
the rear of the house. The police found
that a terge amount of siler was missi.ig,
with tvo pillow cases, in which it hid
been placed,
ioung Howe was arrested this afternoon.
He bioke down and cried like a baby. He
said that the silverware was concealed in
the cellar, and also said:
''I do not remember having struck my
parents, it is possible that I may have
struck them, but not probable. I Jiave
walked In my sleep at times. If my par
ents believe that l stmck them I want to
die."
The father believes that he Is guilty.
He confirms the story of t.vo attempts to
cause death by gas, and be says that the
boy tried to rob the house five years ago,
having broken a window and placed a lad
der at the rear of the house.
Wher a Email boy, living In another part
of the city, young Howe was in the habit
of breaking the windows in the neighboring
houses by firing a gun from the top of his
own house. Mrs. Howe Is in a critical con
dition. Young Howe Is said to be pre
paring to wed.
SERIOUS COLLEGE JOKE.
Students Cause u Sophomore's Ar
rest for Insanity.
New Raveni Conn., Dec -1. Harry John
son, a sophomore of Yale, passed through
an experience this afternoon that has
hardly been paralleled. He comes from
Machias, Maine, and is working his way
through college.
He Is a carver In a student's boarding
house here. The students who board at
the house have been playing jokes on him
and today some of them played a joke
that Is liable to get them into" trouble.
They clicalated the story that Johnson
was Insane and the landlady, believing it,
summoned the police, who also believed
It, and took Johnson Into custody.
He was removed to the almshouse and
placed in the insane ward. Afterward
Drs. Foster and Daggett were sent out
to the almshouse to examine into his
mental condition, and they reported to
President Dwight that Johnson was sano
and the victim of a heartless Joke. Then
President Dwight took Immediate steps
to rel'iasc the injured man and he was
let go.
College authorities will hold an Investi
gation into the case, and it Is probable
thst the practical Jokers will be summarily
punished.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 4. Ice-covered rails,
a ioigctful motorman und a pair ot sleep
hills converging into a small but deep
valley on the Oakland Trolley Railway
made up the component parts of the sit
uation that resulted in a collision between
two motor cart, shortly after 2 o'clock this
afternoon.
The ultimate result was the de.tlli of
three men, the fatal injury ot another,
and the serious Injury of nearly a dozen
other men and women who were -passengers
ou the twr. cars that were smashed
into kindling-wood for more than half th:ir
total length.
The dead are:
John Savage, superintendent of the ond.
Carl Whitehead, iiiotornrui.
John Kelley, a passenger.
The injured are:
Frank McGue, motorman, who will prob
ably die.
Louis Haruck, motorman, heriondly in

and othei wise hurt Internally.

fatally injured.
There were smcral others injured ly
flying splinterb of weed and glass, whn.se
names are unknown, all being able to 'e
turn totheii homcon acur proided by the
company.
The e-r bound for Detroit It is under
stood, should have waited at the switch
situated at the top of the hill, un the
north side ot the valley, to let the ear
bound for rout hit pass It, but whether or
not the motorman ot the outhboutid ear
was running tod fast to stop, when he i-ame
to the twitch, or whether thare was a mis
undernUinidmj in regard to order.i, will
probably never bo known.
John Stivngu, the superintendent, was
acting as motorman for the southbound
car, which was a special, and was the
man who had given whatever ordeis the
noithbound motounan had. Savage was
Instantly killed when the cars came to
gether and therefore there Is no hope
of eve: knowing of the understanding
he had with the oilier niotonnan.
The cais, met ircly ut the poi.it c f a
"V" formed by tile deep valley into which
they were both running when they .nu&t
have discovered each other. There is no
reason to belli ve that they did not apply
their brakes, in fact, passengers on either
car assert that they did, either at the lop
of the hill or .v.on after the turn ('own
was made, but the mils were covered
with ice and the brakes failed to check
the speed or either to any intlr-cablc ex
tent. Hvery seat was broken squarely from Its
floor fastenings, and with all the
passengers thrown forward into the debris
ot the coache.. Kelley waskilled instantly.
Savage died within a row minutes, iwth
legs having been cut orf and the body
terribly mangled about the chest.
Whitehead lived but a few minutes.
The injured were taken from the -Treck
by their uninjured companions and ear
ned to nearby farm houses.

and living at No. 1351 E street southeast,
wandered out toward Eckington while in
toxicated yesterday evening, and chose a
bed upon the tracks of the electric o.id
near the corner or Florida avenue and Q
strpets northeast. In a short time car
No. 1 came ulong and disturbed his slum
bers. Fortunately the headlight cast its glare
upon the form of the man, and the mot-ir-man
was able to bring the car to a stop
just as the fender struck Towne. The blow
was not a severe one, in consequence, b.it
It served to sober Towne somewhat, and
lie was only bruised about the limbs and
face, but not seriously hurt. He was taken
to No. 8 station, and in a short time al
lowed to go to his home.

CLEMMER BREAKS SILENCE
Statement of a Suspect In the
Kaiser Murder Case-
Declnro That the Statement Made
by Em nm DeKalb That lie Fired
the Shot l. Ful.-.e.
Norristown, Pa., Dec. 4. James A. tlem
mer, who, In connection with Charles O
Kaiser, jr., Is charged with the murder of
Mrs. Emma Kal?er, lias broken his periil
ent silence regarding the statements of
the crime made by Miss Enun.t J.eK.iib.
While Clemmer hns steadfastly and with an
air of traado successfully parried every
question iu connection with his part in
the murder, and has doggedly declined.
"I do not believe thnt she has made a
statement" to almost every one who has
asked his opinion of it, yet the f.ict -e-nmins
thai he knows jw-sltively that Miss
DeKalb has made such a statement, aiid.
further, that It is perplexing him. He has
not given himself a satisfactory explana
tion of Miss 1-eKnlb's action, though l.e
realizes that she has placed hernelf right
in the matter.
Just ax Clemmer was leaving the Newark,
N. J., Jail to he brought to Norrisuiwn,
the question was asked: ''What do vou
think of Hiss DcKalb's statement:"
Tniph!" he ejaculated, "I don't lelleve
that she ever mud one'."
'"Yes, she did, Clemmer," said t-ne of
the men accompanying him: "she tokl
hei story iu full and it is pretty strong."
. The gentleman who made the icmark
eyed Clemmer closely, while the pilsoiter
drooped his eyes pensively, and then,
looking up quickly, said dclibei.itely
"She can't swear that she saw me lire
the shoi that is, if she tells the truth."
Then he hesitated a moment und said,
nrgumcntniivelj, with a shrug r his
Bhouldcrs:
"Shu couldn't see the shot fired."
Realizing that he had said more than
he Intended to, Clemmer looked to see
the effect on his two or three auditors,
and n.adc a move as though he would
like to walk on.
It Is not belle. ed that she Interested
herself in the murder ot Mrs. Kaiser, but
rather that she was made a party to 'he
knowledge of its commission by Clemmer,
in order that he might be in a position to
rule her effectually, and at the same time
to use it as a threat to her from ever
exposing him.
Clemmer said while in Newark that be
fore he and Miss "DeKalb separated they
agreed not to expose each other. Inas
much as Clemmer was the one who rjred
the shot, and that he was the one t- gain
much the most by silence, it is supposed
that he forced this declaration of secrecy
from Miss DeKalb by preying on' her
knowledge ot the crime.
Miss DeKalb could easily have been
slain by Kaiser and Clemmer, had their
murder of Mrs. Kdiser resulted success
fully, and they would have doubly print
ed by silencing the third witness to the
murder and collecting the insurance on
her life. When Miss DeKalb understands
this phase of the case and the apparent
peril in which her life was placed, it is
not believed that she will shield the man
who had designs on her.
THE MARYLAND SENATORSHI?.
Gary "Would Stand Best Chance, ilnt
tor Bis. Wellington Connection.
Baltimore, Dec. 4.- The Republican mem
bers of the legislature from the Eastern
Shore have finally determined to present
a unitttl fioul in the Senatorial f igtit. At
their conference at headquarters yebtenlay
they could not get together. Congressman
Barber is In town and had a conference
with State Senators Mesdck, of Caroiiue;
Dryden, of Somerset, and Dodson, ot Tal
bot; Fish Commiijbioner Toyes, of Somer
set, and B. Gootee Steyeus, of Caroline
county, nt which It was determined ttiat
the Eastern Shoie members of the ,?eu-ral
assembly would vote solidly for Dr. Barter
for the United States Senate.
Mr. Dr. v den t-ald after the conference
that the Shoic Republicans would htaad
together, and it potMble make a resident
of that bcctlou the buccessor to Seuator
Gorman. It is understood that Mr. Dry
den will be backed by the four Enstern
Shore benators as their choice for presi
dent of the benate, and as Senator West
cott, of Kent, was not at today's meeting-
it wa left uncertain as to how ho
will vote on the two matters under con
blderatlon. The Eastern Shore Repub
licans have eleven representatives in the
geueral a-mbly, seven members of the
house and four senators.
Of cour&e, Senator Drydeu and Congress
man Barber know that there is hardly a
possibility of an Eastern Shoreman being
elected as Go: man's successor, but In i nlt
ing on a candidate and a concerted plan
of action they will now be able to dictate
terms tc either the Lowudes-Gary-Welllng-ton
combine or the opposition. Mr .Dryden
is also the candidate of the Administration
forces for president of the senate. The
JEastcn Shoremen are believed to be op
posed to the combine, in so far as the
election of Gov. Lowndes is concerned.
The will vote for Dr. Barber in the caucus
so long as Lowndes Is in the field.
If by their votes they can deadlock the
caucus, they will be able, with the ass'st
ance ot the Baltimore city members, to
control the situation. They are frieudly
to Postmaster General Gary, but they uo
not want Wellington to get the credit
ot electing him. As an Eastern Shore
leader said: "Mr. Gary should be the
logical candidate He deserves the Sen
atorship, but his connection with Welling
ton will injure his chances."

SLOSSOX "W1XS THE GAME.
He Defeats Ives in u Hot Game by
Two Points.
New Xork, Dec. 4. The billiard tourni
ment closed here tonight in a distinct
and brilliant victory for George Slosson.
lie wins the championship and the mylul
offered bj the Brunswick-Riiko Company.
The final game between Slosbon and lvs
was the closest and most brilliant of the
scries, and Slosson -won only by the nar
row margin of 500 to Ives' 49S.
Before the game opened tonight, a big
floral piece, representing a bicycle wheel,
-was set on the stage. It was a girt to
Ives from his friends of the Century Wheel
men. The players received applause when
they stepped to the table.
The game opened very indifferently, as
tourney games do nine times out of ten.
The first really clever play was done by
Slosson, in hl3 fifth inning, and It in
cluded some carroms that could scarcely
be excelled for judgment of position strokes.
The effort netted him 24 carroms.
Ives, who had taken the lead at the start,
overtopped the run a little later by a
bn-ak of 27. George played dangerous
shots with marked success atth outset of
tlu; battle. He was putting a noticeable
amount of vim iuto his work, too, which
served to make his numerous admirers en
thusiastic. Ives led until late in the game, when
Slosson'R form improved and he overhauled
th youngster.
In the firty-first iuulng Rlos3on won with
a score or 500 to Ives' 40S.
The highest runs were: Sloison. 97;
Ives, G7. Averages: Slosson, 12 8-41;
Ives, 12 18 40.
Time of game was three hours and thirty
five minutes.
In addition to the trophy nnd 50 per
cent of the purse and gate money lie wlus
a special pri7u offered by Ives' partner.
Slosson's victory gives second money
to Schtcfer, 30 per cent of the prize purse
and or the net gate receipts and a special
prize or a pair of diamond sleeve buttons,
and Ives, who is third in the race, gets
20 per cont of the purse and the gate re
ceipts. Humility.
