A New York woman known as "Mai jorie"
Is wanted by the police here to answer a

trip to this city. He was willing to accom
pany them, and they reached here Tuesday
night. Petersen said he registered under
his own name, and registered one of the
women as his wife. The other he registered
as "friend." The latter left the hotel about
7 o'clock, and after her departure he and
ths otl er woman had drinks. I,ater, while

HOT WEATHER FOOD.
The selection of food for hot weather Is an im
portant question. We should avoid an excess of
fata, cut down the butter ration and Indulge more
freely in fruits and food easy of digestion. One
meat meal per day is sufficient during hot weather.
An ideal breakfast is Grape-Nuts, treated with a
little cream (which, by the way, supplies the
necessary fat in a very digestible form) a cup of
Postum Cereal Food Coffee, hot, or if cold, It
Should have a little lemon juice squeeted In; then
some fruit, either cooked or raw; also, perhaps,
two slices of entire wheat bread with a very thin
Spread of butter. A breakfast of this sort la so
perfectly adapted to the wanta of the system that
om goes through the heat of the day in comfort
aa compared with the sweaty, disagreeable condi
tion of one Improperly fed. Once put In practice
the plan will never be abandoned during the hot
days, for the difference In one's personal comfort
Is too great to be easily forgotten.
JAPAN A GOOD CUSTOMER
Bl'YS OVER f31.000.000 WORTH OF
GOODS A YEAR.
Sella l'i Over 21 Per Cent of Her Ex
ports?Conn ul General Bel
lon*1 Report.
A most interesting report has been re
ceived at the State Department from
United States Consul General Bellows at
Yokohama, which covers the commerce of
Japan for 1900. and. aside from statistics,
gives a comprehensive insight into condi
tions in Japan other than those of trade.
The year 1900, says Mr. Bellows, was an
unfavorable one to commerce and manu
facture in Japan, but nevertheless statis
tics show an increase in the total trade of
the empire over 1891) and 1898. Japan s
total exports in 1900 aggregated In value
$101,806,137, and 21.9 per cent of this
amount came to the United States, or $20,
178,005 worth. The imports from the
I'nited States amounted to $31,205,075, mak
ing the entire volume of trade between the
two countries nearly $37,500,000. The
I'nited States takes each year three-fourths
of Japan's tea, nearly all her floor matting
and more than half her raw silk, and leads
as a purchaser in many other lines. O"
the other hand. Japan gets nearly one-half
of her raw cotton from the United States,
and most of her locomotives and other ma
chinery, leather, kerosene and other oils
and flour. , ,
Mr. Bellows says that constantly-filled
electric cars traverse the streets of Kyoto,
but are, in fact, so crowded by the work
ing classes that the wealthier people still
employ the picturesque jii;rikisha pending
better accommodations. An electric line
has been projected at Tokyo, and also at
Yokohama, but work has not yet begun.
One of the most hopeful features of the
situation in Japan, says the consul gen
eral is the recognition by her educated
classes of the fact that cheap labor can
not compete with machinery, and the agi
tation of questions of policy with regard
to labor, machinery and foreign capital is
expected to bring about beneficial changes
in the near future.
The import of sugar into Japan, which
fell off considerably in 1899, has increased
again to nearly the amount for 1898, when
the Philippine Islands were an important
source of supply, and Mr. Bellows states
that when these islands are pacified the
rehabilitation of the sugar trade with the
archipelago is hoped for. Mr. Bellows de
plores the lack of a single American bank
in Japan, and says that an American bank,
with good connections in New York and
San Francisco, skillfully managed, should
prove a paying investment, and would also
materially "aid in extending United States
commerce in the east. Mr. Bellows is
quite sanguine as to the financial condi
tion of the country, and says that, although
the commercial imports have exceeded ex
ports for the past five years, the general
result of the movement of specie during
that time has been to increase the coun
try's supply.
As to the new treaties which have now
been in force for nearly two years, Mr.
Bellows says they have proven generally
satisfactory, and i ery little complaint as
to their provisions has arisen.
AMICABLY SETTLED.
Withdrawal by Mr*. Bellinger of Pro
?eedinKH for Habeas Corpus.
On petition of Attorney Andrew Wilson
of counsel for Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Dellin
ger, Justice Clabaugh of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia this afternoon
signed an order dismissing the proceedings
for habeas corpus recently instituted by
Mrs. Dellinger for the purpose of compel
ling her husband, Frank M. Dellinger, to re
store to her the Infant child of the couple.
In the petition the court was assured that
Mr. and Mrs. Dellinger have entered Into
an amicable settlement of their differences
outside of court.
In explanation of his alleged connection
with the trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Del
linger, Mr. George Rubcnacher informs The
Star that he has known Mrs. Dellinger for
the last four months, having met her
through the introduction of a-frlend. About
a week .after their acquaintance was formed
he asked her if she could furnish him with
breakfast at her house every morning, as
she kept a boarding house and his business
necessitated his arising very early. She
stated that she could, and from that time
on he usually took his breakfast there,
paying her for each meal at the time.
"Mrs. Dellinger told me her husband had
not been treating her well," he added, "and
asked me what she had better do. She
stated that she would like to leave the city,
ana asked me if I would assist her to do
so. I said I would. She asked me where
sne could dispose of her furniture, and I
told her of a place where she could sell it,
and arranged the sale between the party
who bought it and herself.
"That same afternoon Mrs. Dellinger left
the city and went to New Jersey, and I
went as far as Newark, N. J., with her,
providing her with a room there at a pri
vate boarding house. Leaving her there, I
took the following train to New York. Be
fore leaving Washington she wrote the note
to her husband which has been published
in the papers.
"On the following Sunday after her re
turn Mr. Dellinger came to my father's
house and offered me money to tell him
where his wife and child were. I declined
to accept it, but told him that I would do
all in my power to bring his wife and him
together again. Monday morning at 10
o'clock I met him and took him to where
his wife and child were sitting on a bench
in Armory Square. After I had seen him
the night before I had arranged with her
to be there, to meet her husband. After a
short conversation wiih him she came to
me and asked my advice about what to do.
I told her she had better go home to her
mother, which she did, after her husband
had left with the child.
"As far as I have known Mrs. Dellinger
she has always acted as a lady, and I have
always conducted myself a gentleman In
her company. I was not the cause of
breaking up her husband's home.
"I did not assault Mr. Cross last Satur
day ajs charged, and the only part I had in
the matter was to keep Mr. Cross from
committing a murderous assault on my
friend, Harry Cordoio."
APPLIES FOR INJUNCTION.
Appointment of Receiver and an Ac
counting Also Desired.
Ernest H. Schmidt, through Attorney
Charles F. Benjamin, today filed suit In
equity against Joseph Sincell, asking an
injunction, the appointment of a receiver
and an accounting. It is explained that
the 25th of last June the complainant
agreed to sell the grocery business at 1700
17th street to the defendant for $1,000. By
the terms agreed upon, it is said, $500 was
payable In cash and the balance in monthly
installments.of $50 each, with approved se
curity.
Mr. Schmidt says he was induced to
make an Immediate delivery to Mr. Sinceil
of the store and business without Mr. Sin
cell delivering the promissory notes In
dorsed as he had agreed. Since then, it is
stated, the defendant has informed the
complainant that he can neither obtain nor
tender any indorser for the notes, nor offer
any other settlement or security than a
chattel deed of trust upon the stock. It is
pointed out that the chattel mortgage
would not be marketable, and its effect as
a security would be very doubtful. It is
further asserted that damage is accruing
to the business and good will by attempts
of the defendant to make sale of the same.
The court Is asked to restrain the de
fendant from selling the business or any
part of the stock, that a receiver be ap
pointed to conduct the business under au
thority of the court, and that mutual ac
counts be taken and stated.
Inquiry Into Mental Condition.
Frank Kachelskl, aged twenty-flve years,
whose home is said to be at No. 235 St.
Joseph street, Detroit, Mich., was this
afternoon taken Into custody at the direc
tion of Sanitary Officer Frank and locked
up in the first precinct station to await an
examination as to his mental condition. The
prisoner has, it Is said, been In St. Eliza
beth's Asylum once, but was recently re
leased because he was supposed to have
been cured of his malady. It Is said that
the unfortunate man was some years ago
kicked in the face by a horse and that this
resulted In hi* losing hi* mind.

BELIEVE THORXTON IS ALIVE.
Ground* for Discrediting tbe Report
of His Death.
The friends and relatives of Wines E.
Thornton, the young Washingtonian who
has been in the service of the King of Bel
gium at Boma, Africa, for the past five
years, and who was recently reported dead
by the postal authorities of that colony,
entertain strong hope that he still lives.
As stated in The Star several days ago,
Mrs. Pauline Thornton of 1418 Columbia
street, young Thornton's mother, has re
ceived three letters within the past year
which were returned by the African postal
service bearing an inscription in French
which when translated, means "deceased.
The return of these letters naturally led to
the belief that Thornton was dead, but ad
ditional facts in the case have arisen which
lead Mrs. Thornton and her son's friends
to believe that he yet lives.
I Mrs. Thornton recently communicated
wiin the foreign office of the Belgium gov
ernment at Brussels, and Mondaj receh ed
a letter from that bureau stating that
I young Thornton had sent in his resignation
to the government as the king's agent in
Africa, and that it had been accepted. Mrs.
Thornton, when seen today by a Star re
porter, was unable to give the date of the
resignation or of its acceptance, but she
averred that the information thus obtained
greatly encourage*? her in the belief that :
her son was alive and on his way home
from his far-off post.
In the meantime the State Department
here has been employed as an agency of
communication between this government
and the foreign office at Belgium with a
view to securing accurate and detailed in
formation on the subject. The department
has sent a letter of inquiry to Brussels
asking for all the available facts in the
case.
It is stated that another man named
Thornton located near Boma died recently,
and it is suggested that the postal officials
may have mistaken this man- for the
Thornton from this city. It Is believed
that if W. E. Thornton were dead his ef
fects would have been forwarded here long
ago. The government of Belgium, it is
stated, has b^en very prompt in matters of
this kind in the past.
In speaking to a Star reporter today Mrs.
Thornton said: "I am encouraged to be
lieve that my son is still alive. Notwith
standing the unfavorable testimony of the
letters returned to me and marked In a
manner indicating his death, the other coit
siderations lead me to think there is gooa
ground for hope. The fact that Ed re
signed his post and that his resignation"
was accepted compels me to believe that he
is safe and alive. He may now be on his
way home, and I should not be surprised to
see him here in the city any day."
THE WHOLESALE GROCERS.
Proposed Movement for a Combine for
Mutual Benefit.
Several local wholesale dealers In gro
ceries have been approached lately by a
man who claims to be promoting what is
termed "The National Wholesale Grocery
Company," an organization whose object
is stated to be the formulation of plans
for the advancement of the interests of the
wholesale grocerymen of the country. The
proposition contemplates a membership
from all sections of the union, the en
trance fee being $25, and the projector of
the idea, who has been interviewing Wash
ington grocerymen on the subject, has in
his possession a list of dealers In New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other
cities of the east who have paid the re
quired sum and have signified their Inten
tion -of entering the combination. Among
those in Washington who have been ap
proached by the promoter of the scheme
is Mr. N. H. Shea, wholesale grocer at 632
Pennsylvania avenue, who gave the fol
lowing explanation of the subject to a Star
1 reporter today:
"So far as I was able to learn, the pro
jector of this company does not claim to
represent anybody in particular. He came
to me and stated that for the sum of $25
| he would place my name upon the list of
wholesale dealers willing to enter the pro
posed company. The idea is to secure a com
bination of the grocerymen and then to hold
a meeting in some city to outline plans for
their advancement. This contemplates the
placing on the market of certain classes of
i our goods, the sale of which may prove
I more profitable to us tl^an will brands
| of the same merchandise we are now sell
ing For instance, we now have for sale
a certain kind of breakfast food.
"This food ha* been tvery extensively ad
vertised lately arid consequently there is a
strong demand for It. The manufacturers,
realizing that d^nan^ are in position to
command very high prices from us. Those
prices ought to tye much lower than thfcy
are. According "to tne new scheme the
National Wholesale Grocery Company can
effect a plan whereby we can ignore this
class of goods and place upon the market
another class of oi% own choice, which
will be of Just afe good quality, but which
will not commafnd the same price at the
j factory. The man wh'tf called upon me said
he was a representative of the company,
but, so far as^I could see, there Js no
company actually In existence. The Inten
tion is to have the subscribers meet and
form the association, and then outline their
plans. I declined to enter into the pro
ject." >
So far as can be .{earned none of the
Washington wholesale grocers haa sub
scribed the $25 necessary to become mem
bers of the company.
SURPRISED BY MAlftUDS.
Militia Post at Kartmi'kw Captured
With Considerable Loh. *
A dispatch from Simla* India says: Two
hupdred Mahsuds attacked a militia post at
Kashmlrkar August G, killed a sentry and
surprised the garrison, which sought
refuge In the barracks. The Mahsuds de
manded the rifles, threatening to bum the
post If the weapons were not given up.
The militiamen then surrendered their
"rifles. Seven of the men were killed and
an officer and thr^e men were wounded.
The Mahsuds then decamped with the
f rifles, ammunition, uniforms and kits of
| the garrison, without losing a nan.
THE DISTRICT MILITIA
INTEREST AROl'SED BT SECRETARY
ROOT'S PROPOSED MEASURE.
National Aid to the Gaardiaca Gen
erally Approved?A Comparison
of Small Arms.
"While on a visit to Camp Ordway, at
Leesburg, this summer, where the District
militia had the most successful outing in
its history, I made it a point to talk with
many of the officers on the subject of Sec
retary's Root's proposed bill in behalf of
the militia of the entire country." sa-'d ?
retifed army officer to a Star reporter this
morning:. "All of the officers, *uid many of
the men. showed the liveliest interest in
the measure, and were a unit in their ex
pressions of approval of the plan. *1 was
surprised at the breadth of thought and
the intelligence with which some voiced
their views. The feeling seemed to be that
now was the time to make the start, and
that the outcome would be a gratifying
success.
"One young captain, a veteran of the
Spanish war, who went through the entire
Cuban campaign, said that if all of the of
ficers of the National Guard throughout
the country felt as do the officers of the
District organization on the question, the
, measure would go through Congress with a
rush. Some of his ideas were based upon
hard, practical personal experience.
" 'The war with Spain,' he said to me,
'proved the serious consequences of having
small arms shooting ammunition of differ
ent caliber on our side, and the effective
ness of the Mauser on the other, if it did
nothing else. It also demonstrated the im
perative need of national co-operation with
^states in the training and maintenance of
the National Guard, from which so many
thousands of the soldiers of that war were
recruited. These men all went home with
the fixed idea that the militia of the United
States should be armed with the very lat
est improved rifle of fixed caliber; their
views have been disseminated throughout
the states and the effect of these opinions
is bound to be reflected in Congress when
such a measure comes up for considera
tion.
" 'There is one example of local interest,'
he told me, 'and It will serve for a hundred
other instances. At Leesburg the Loudoun
company is the local state organization of
the Virginia National Guard. It musters
forty-five men. but they are at present
drilling without uniforms, though uniforms
will soon be provided. Suppose these men
received national assistance, say, as to uni
forms and the latest Krag rifles, though the
mauner of the aid, whether in equipment
and arms or appropriations for that specific
purpose, is a matter of detail, the impetus
to organization and to maintain that or
ganization to the highest pitch of perfec
tion would be very great. The same holds
good whether in New York, Mississippi or
Oregon.
The Sonth Interested.
" *1 believe,' he continued, 'that the
southern members In Congress will be
found largely in favor of the bill, and if
not, they ought to be. The south has fine
material for militia making, but it does not
have the means nor the equipment, as has
the militia In some of the northern states,
especially In New York, Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania. The bill affects all sections
alike, and the organization and the main
tenance of companies will be greatly stimu
lated.
'Take the District National Guard, for
example. In point of material and fight
ing efficiency, it will compare with any of
the crack militia legiments in New York
or Pennsylvania, in fact, the District regi
ment in the Spanish war was a model in
this respect, and earned the honors be
stowed upon Jt. Its showing was splendid.
This camp is a model camp, and compares
favorably with the New York state camp
at Peekskill, and General Harries and his
officers well merit the praise they have re
ceived from the regular army officers an<f
others, who have visited us. Yet New
York will spend $2rH>,000 on an armory for
a single regiment of Its citizen soldiers.
Th^ quarters of the guard in Washington
are not befitting its importance, though
much better than In some cities. But the
District deserves the best, and perhaps
some day will have it. The Springfield
rifle is antiquated. The men should handle
and be drilled with the weapon that they
would be obliged to fire and carry in the
event of a real war. It takes months to
properly acquaint a body of men, even
though they are trained militiamen, with
the operating and the handling of a modern
small caliber, hard-shooting repeating rifle.
I have shot on the range with both arms,
and I personally appreciate the difference
and the difficulty in acquiring familiarity
with the new gun, a complex piece of
mechanism. If Secretary Root is the means
of arming the militia of the country with a
modern rifle, he will make for himself a
name that will never be forgotten In the
history of the militia.'
, Scheme of Development.
"I found that the idea of training, drill
ing and camping with regulars, as is pro
posed, was greeted with the greatest en
thusiasm by officers and men alike. It is
a great scheme of development and Im
provement. I do not think that the peace
at any price party will have much influ
ence In Congress. The unpreparedness of
the country is still too fresh in the minds
of the people. One officer thought that the
militia should effect some sort of organi
zation throughout the country to the end
that pressure might be brought to bear
upon representatives in Congress to foster
the bill, if it should be found that there
should develop any serious antagonism to
the measure. Such an organization, if ne
cessary, could easily be perfected through
the commanding generals in the different
states. In New York state the political in
fluence of the militia is courted and de
sired by both parties. It is very great and
powerful. The National Guard in that state
gets all it wants within reason from the
legislature. It is an exhilarating sight to
witness the enthusiasm and friendly feel
ing manifested along the line of march in
the streets of New York as one of Its reg
iments swings down town to the steamboat
to embark for Peekskill, or. having been
away their allotted time, kre returning to
its armory. Still, the same feeling exists
here In Washington. The District National
Guard is composed of our own boys, and
we are proud of them.
"However, be the result as it may, the
District National Guard this year has out
done itself. The sanitary features of the
camp, the discipline, the drilling, the
health of the men, and the splendid show
ing made in all respects 'vas admirable. It
was the result of lots of hard work and
preliminary training, and Gen. Harries and
his officers and men are to be congratulated
most heartily for their earnest efforts.
GEN. L. A. DODD DEAD.
Was Conspicuous In the Trial of Lin
coln's Assassins.
General Levi A. Dodd, a Union veteran cf
the civil war, died Tuesday night at his
home in Baltimore. He was sixty-eight
years old. His death was due to a general
breaking down, brought on by the heat.

cution of fbur of the alleged conspirators
he -conducted Dr. Mudd, who had set
Wilkes Booth's broken leg, to the Dry Tor
tugas. After being mustered out In July,
1805, General Dodd engaged in business In
Illinois. At one time he was c'.erk of the
circuit court. Later he moved to (Chicago
and was a resident of that city at the time
of the great Are, in which considerable of
his property was swept away. Since 1881
he had lived in Baltimore, looking after
the Interests of the Standard Oil Company.
General Dodd was a member of the Loyah
Legion and of Custer Post, Gnand Army of*
the Republic. He was also a Mason and a
trustee of the Twelfth Presbyterian Church
A widow, who was Miss Priscilla K. Chris
tie of Pennsylvania, survives him.
