with a cordial response from citizens
of Washington. H. B. F. Macfarland.
chairman of the committee, said today
that the members of the committee
were making every effort to get funds
to aid the university and that by Wednesday.
when a meeting of the committee
will be held. It Is expected that
each member of the Chamber of Commerce
will have been approached by
the committee. He said, however, that
it would facilitate the work of the
committee greatly if the members of
the chamber and other citizens, who desired
to make subscriptions, would forward
them to the committee without
waiting for a personal visit, since the
members of the committee made frequent
calls, only to find the persons
they were seeking were not in.
A similar committee from the Board

WOULD CENSOR STATUES
GIVEN TO HALL OF FAME
Senator Heyburn Proposes That for
Other Than Busts of Vice Presidents
Congress Must Give Consent*
Senator Heyburn today proposed a joint
resolution which will prevent the placing
of statuary, paintings or other works of
art other than the busts of the Vice
fresiden'e in the United States Uapitol
until they have been formally accepted
by Congress.
This is one of the products of Senator
Heyburn's opposition to the acceptance
of the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee to
grace Statuary Hall. Unuer present law
atatues have been allowed to be placed
In the hall of fame at any time, and several
of them have never been formally
accepted by Congress. That is the case
of the Lee statue, but to all intents and
purposes Lee is made one of the galaxy
of national heroes honored by having an
efflgy in marble in the hall of fame.
It is not unlikely that this resolution
will get some support, as it will not affect
the status of the Lee statue. The
support will come, however, from those
who have wept verbal tears whenever the
artistic effect of the group of statues is
mentioned.
HAS BEEN PRIEST SIX YEARS.
Rev. J. Henning Nelms Observes
Anniversary.
Rev J. Hehning Nelms. rector of the

the priesthood last night when he
preached from the text, "What could
have been done more to my vineyard,
that I have not done in it? Wherefore,
wnfn 1 KK>KM mat u snouia bring forth
grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"
In opening he asked: "Have the results
of the past year's work been entirely
satisfactory to both parish and rector?"
Continuing, he declared: "I believe they
have not been as satisfactory as they
should have been. I hold this to be my
fault as husbandman of the vineyard."
He said in closing that the present attendance
of the church was more than
two. and that the work was progressing
along all lines.

"Masseur" for Senators.
The committee has also made provision
for a "masseur" for the new bathing
rooms in the Senate office building, although
he is not specifically given that
title. An amendment authorizes "an attendant
in charge of bathing rooms,"
and procvides a salary of $1,800 a year
, for him.
This item is expected to cause discussion
when the bill is taken up in the
Senate. When the legislative appropriation
measure was considered, there was
much kicking against .a "masseur" for
the bathing rooms, and the opposition
succeeded in having provision for such
an employe on the Senate rolls stricken
, from the bill.
By another amendment the committee
recommends that the Secretary of the
' Treasury be gtven power to provide such
power launches and other boats and to
employ such persons as shall be necessary
for the use of customs officials in
boarding vessels and counting persons on
excursion boats and to assist in the enforcement
of laws relating to the navigation
and inspection of steamboats.

ALLEGED FORGERS SAID I:
TO LOOTED CROOKS
Police Declare Simon and
i
Robinson Are Well Known
Pickpockets in Chicago.
David Simon, alias J. M. Cohen, and
Morris Robinson, accused of passing, '
with forged indorsements, three travelers'
checks for $50 each, issued a year ago
by the American Bankers' Association. '
upon the American Security and Trust '
Company last Saturday, were formally
committed in the Police Court today for
a preliminary hearing next week. Bail
was tixed in each case at $3,000. 1
The police still are communicating with ,
other cities about Richard Miller, supposed
to have been associated with Simon '
and Robinson, and also are continuing '
their search in this city. It was stated <
today by detectives engaged in the in- ,
vestigation that they had been unable
to trace Miller after he left the Fourteenth
Street Savings Bank with $1,250 i
he is said to have secured on a forged 1
check ' hey do not know if he left
the city or is in hiding. i
Friday night, while the police were <
watching the former home of Miller, they '
learned yesterday, he and his wife were
asleep in a hotel not far from the hous^. ]
He left the hotel Saturday morning. The I
police department will pay a reward for 1
information leading to his arrest. 1
Simon and Robinson have been identified <
by measurements and photographs from ?
the local rogues' gallery as well known |
pickpockets of Chicago, It is alleged.
Each, the police assert, has served several
penitentiary terms in the west for grand
larceny and forgery. Simon is known in
the criminal world, it is said, as "Sheeney 1
Dave." <
"Sweated'' by the Police.
The two men were subjected to an almost
continuous "sweating" at the hands
of Detectives Cox. Vermillion. Barbee and
Berman of the central office yesterday in
their cells at the first precinct station.
The sleuths will not divulge what was
learned, but admit the men said very
little.
The three travelers' checks passed by
the pair will form one of the most important
links in the evidence against
them. The detectives exhibited them
before the committal of the prisoners in
the Police Court today and under a magnifying
glass the traces of the word
"Greenwalt," the name of the man to
whom they were originally issued, are
plainly visible. *t is said. This name apparently
was obliterated with acids and
Simon's alias. J. M. Cohen, substituted.
The detectives stated that the theft
of the checks had been traced to a year
ago, in a railway train near Chicago.
The owner, according to information of g
the police,- was traveling to Chicago
from the west, when his pockets were j
picked of the checks and other valuables.

Pedestrians who witnessed the affair be- a
came indignant, and, according to some c
of them, trouble was narrowly averted. ^
They discussed the affair and decided to t
go to police headquarters in a body to'
enter a protest against the policeman, *
but only one of them. Martin McQuade, f
an empiove of the Washington Gas Light t
Company, did the protesting. t
It Is said that two dogs belonging to
the restaurant keeper were playing' on j
the street, and that when the Boston bull j
went toward a street car where two ]
women were standing the policeman (
thought it was goiirg to attack them. He ]
is said to have used his club on the head
of the animal and drawn so much blood
that the canine had trouble in staggering
in the drection of its owner's place of
business. 1
Those who witnessed the affair, it is t
stated, became indignant, and some of c
them wanted to take the policeman to

ed his protest have asked for^ information
Ion from Washington upon which to base
Mr- their replies, and there has been an ex,0x
change ?of telegrams between President
Diaz of Mexico and President Taft.
of Notwithstanding the fact that the
of United States refuses to recognize the
ad- Madriz government, Secretary Knox concluded
that the statements made by M*to
driz impugning the integrity of the
tte United States called for immediate atto
tention. He thereupon sent a cable meshe
sage to United States Consul Ollvares
at Managua witn instructions to give a
re- copy to Gen. Madriz. Copies of the same
ill- telegram were sent to the other governen

He "As to the statements made in the telegram
of Dr. Madriz to the President, the
government of the United 8tates took
only the customary step of prohibiting
bombardment or fighting by either faction
within the unfortified and ungarrlsoned
commercial city of Bluefields, thus pron*
tecting the preponderating American and

ish commander had done at Greytown,
a where there are large British interests.

has acknowledged the right of each faction
to maintain blockades, but has reies

ls Europe ^nd Latin-America impugning the
the Americart government for implied violated

strictions which, it Is alleged, are the

ice entailing incalculable damage and seri>n
ous danger to the republic. Through the
tay newspapers and otherwise Madriz and
Baca are seeking to create the impression
that public sentiment here and in
the I'nited States is opposed to the policy
of our government in regard to Bluefields.
As a matter of fact, public sentiment
in this country appears to be most

of the boulevard yesterday, and at least
two instances were recorded where the
"good Samaritans" were waiting alongside
the road to rescue stalled automobiles.
Samuel J. Masters and party and
J. J. Costinet and party happened along *
the road just in season to warn a Pennsylvania
tourist against venturing across
the mudholes in an Overland car. Two
of the farmers were then in signt along
the road, evidently in waiting to grab
their usual fee of $10 as soon as the *
Overland entered the mud.

E. J. Terry of this city slipped tntu
