Whitney J. Hall, the messenger in the Department of Justice who was arrested for passing a forged check, was arraigned in the Police Court this mornirt% on a charge of obtaining money under false pre tenses. He pleaded guilty to the charge, and. wit hou. hearing further evidence, Judge Kimball announced that he would hold the defendant for the action of the grand Jury. Assistant District Attorney Ralph Given asked that the bond in the case be fixed at $.'(.<>00. which was done, and In default of surety Hall was committed to Jail this afternoon. At a conference which was held after the fixing of the amount of the bond In the court this morning. Judge Kimball. Assist ant District Attorney Given, Col. Cecil Clay and other ^>fHc!aIs of the Department of Justice participating, it was Indicated that Whitney J. Hall. a belief exists that the mind of the defend ant Is affected. After the investigations of Hall's actions yesterday afternoon, the librarian of the Department of Justice, ?where Hall was employed, opened a letter addressed to him which he found on Hall's desk. The note was as follows: "I am in debt and cannot get out now. and my creditors will not wait until I can pay up In full. What can you do with me now? I have lost my mind and I cannot get well. Break the news gently to my precious wife, and take the $1,030 insurance and all my Income from the Whitney estate to her forever. I cannot bear the strain any longer. WHITNEY J. HALL." Believes He is Wealthy. The reference to the Whitney estate Is explained by the officials of the department, to whom Hall spoke about it. He believed and told several persons that he was an heir to the great Whitney estate and that he was to receive the income on about $3,000,000. He hoped to get certain estates In the south which belonged to the Whit ney estate. At another time he was seen to be draw ing a crest. When questioned about the matter he stated that he was Lord Hall and that the crest was 'his family crest. It Is said that the crest was a copy of the seal of England. He maintained that tie had Tbeen told this by his forefathers and knew it to "be true. (Mrs. Hall was not present at the hearing In the Police Court today, and It Is not known whether she has returned to her home in New York city or not. The moth er and father of the young man were m the court and they listened attentively to the legal steps taken against their son. Accompanying the letter which has been quoted was a note addressed to his wife, in which he bade a pathetic "good-bye" to her and grave her all the property which he thought was coming to him from the Whit ney estate. The note is thought to have been Intended as Hall's will as well as a farewell letter. It deals with details of the Whitney estate chiefly. Examination Ordered. Alter these indications of insanity were explained to Judge Kimball he directed thai Dr. K. Shute examine him at the Jail as soon as posstble and take such steps as are necessary to determine whether he is In sane and whether he should be committed to St. Elizabeth's Asylum. By their Investigations, Detectives Pe^k and Warren were alble to recover {2,110 of the |1'.500 which Hall obtained on tha check from the Commercial National Bank of this city. It Is expected that more will be recovered today. Mrs. Hall's View. Mrs. Hall told a Star reporter this morn ing that she thought her husband must be mentally Irresponsible. "But," she said, "I can hardly believe that he has not some money coming to him. He told everybody about the money he was to get, placing the amount at $3,800. He also said he was to get Jl.000,000 from the estate of the late Stephen Whitney, and tried to borrow $1,000 from Solicitor General Hoyt upon the strength of his claim. He was to leave the government service and accept a position with the firm of Hurst & Co., in Baltimore. Whitney was a good, religious boy. and I can only excuse his coml'uct upon the ground of his having been mentally Irresponsible." Only a short time ago a lady friend of Mrs. Hall sent her a letter sne had re ceived from Mr. Hall. In It he spoke of h:s great love for the young lady, telling her he loved her more than he did his wife. The husband entered a denial when confronted with the letter and finally g<ot out of the dilemma by saying he must have been crazy when, he wrote" It. The wife wanted to take the check he had exhibited to her to the Riggs National Bank to get It cashed, but her husband- de clined to surrender the paper, giaying it would be taken up for collection and that ho could get it cashed without delay. He returned home before 11 o'clock and hand ed over the ?2,400. "Old Braddock" is as Perfect in purity and quality as it's posstble for any rye whiskey to be. Invaluable at this sea son.

Arrival of the Mayflower. The naval yacht Mayflower, the Presi dent's pleasure eraft, arrived oft Alexan dria, from New York, Tuesday evening, but was prevented frotn going up the Eastern branch to the navy yard In coneequence of the very low water In the channels. Short ly after she dropped anchor off Alexandria, one of the navy yard tugs took her in tow. but In going up the Eastern branch the wajter was found to be so low that there was danger that the Mayflower would get aground. The tug pulled her, stern fore most. out of the branoh and took her back to Alexandria This morning she was still at anchor off the Virginia city, but as the tides are again normal it is stated she will be brought u? to the navy yard today. LECTURE AHD CONCERT. Aloysius Club Entertain* Large Nnm Wr of Guest*. A complimentary lecture and concert was Klven last night at Ooncaga Hall, on I street near North Capitol street, under the auspices of the Aloysius Club of the St. Aloysius Church. The entertainment opened with an over ture by the orchestra, composed of young ladles of the church. Rev. E. X. Fink, rec tor of the St. Aloysius Church, then made a short address and Introduced Prof. J. C. Monaghan of the Department of Commerce and Labor, who delivered a lecture on "The Opportunities Afforded In the World to Young Men." He gave several Illustra tions of his subject, stating, among other things, that the defeat of Russia in the Japanese-Russian war was due largely to the fact that rtte Japanese had accepted the opportunities which were afforded them during the last century to study, and had thereby become one of the leading powers of the world. He stated that 5,000,000 chil dren In the schools of Japan are compelled to study not only their own language, but tho English and Chinese as well. The tortures alleged to have been infllc'.ed upon many of the subjects of Russia by government troops were also mentioned by Prof. Monaghan. He added that the young men of our colleges today have their eyes on the so-called "white shirt" Jobs instead of using their hands at hard work, which he deplored. Many Instances In the world's history were used to Illustrate his subject. The Aloysius Glee Club, .led by Rev. Father McDonnell, sang several songs which were heartily applauded by the large audience. The entertainment ended with a selection by the orchestra. It was announced that the next club dance will be held December 27. in the Gon zaga Hail. The officers of the club are: Thomas Donovan, president; John H Bar ger, vice president; Dr. Thomas A.

Of all the many tributaries that empty Into the Potomac within a few miles of this city Occoquan creek Is regarded as the most un reliable when cold weather comes. When there Is not a particle of Ice on any other part of the river. It Is stated that Occoquan will be frozen across, and' it Is always the first stream to be closed to navigation and the last to open. To be caught In the pack Ice that comes out of the creek In the spring means trouble, and lots of It, to the unfortu nate vessel master. This tendency to freeze with only a few hours' warning causes the early shutting down each winter of the few Industries that are located on the stream. A day or two ago the plant of the Washington Stone Com pany, which Is working quarries on the creek, was closed down for the winter and the scows and barges used In the transpor tation of the stone from the quarries to this city were brought here by the tug Pow hatan and will remain in harbor here until next spring. The Powhatan will engage In towing about the harbor until she again returns to service in Occoquan In the spring. The Finest Full Drees and Tuxedo &Uts tailored to order by Owen. 423 11th.?A^vt.
