Lee Ying, Cigar Merchant, Charge)
With Evading Government Tax.
SMOKING OUTFITS ABE FOUNI
Plenty of the Drug, Along Witl
Much Paraphernalia, Captured
as Evidence.
Chinatown had very nearly the bigges
shake-up In its whole existence yester
day afternoon, when eight United State!
revenue officers, three detectives and :
squad of police from the sixth preclnc
swooped down on the row of merchant!
between 3d street and 4H street on Penn
sylv&nia avenue in search of violators o
the opium law.
After dragging the net up and dowr
the steps of half a dozen stores, into up
per sleeping rooms, where scared Chinamen
chattered and hid behind locked
doors, and after beating two celestials 01
the head in regular raiding fashion, on<
of the principal objects of the searcl
ducked through a hall door and disap
peared, while Lee Ying, a cigar merchan
on the top floor of 346 Pennsylvania ave
nue. was locked up and many of his possessions
confiscated.
The police found plenty of persona
opium smoking tackle, but they wen
after evidence that some one down ir
Chinatown is either smuggling the dope
or distributing it in defiance of th<
Payne-Aldrich tariff law, which demand:
a revenue on all opium.
After the escape of the man whom the
revenue agents believe is an opium run
ner between here and Baltimore, the
"nlii-a evprvthin? I,ee Yim had ir
the way of pipes, needles, scales and
cans, and also confiscated several hundred
dollars' worth of the drug. Thej
held Lee under $5,000 bond, and no one
had offered to put up the ball late last
night.
Lee's little cigar business brought him
many a visitor. Too many visitors foi
plain cigars, say the revenue officers,
who declare that it Is only opium that
will take fifty Chinamen a day to the
top floor of a house. The cigar business,
they declare, is a blind, and Lee
Ting began to be suspected when his
fame reached Baltimore, and many
t uinamen came every day from that
city to buy "cigars."
Paraphernalia as Evidence.
The revenue officers took the paraphernalia
to the room occupied by them at
the National Hotel and will keep It there
until It is taken before United States
Commissioner Anson 8. Taylor tomorrow
morningGeorge
W. Trowbridge, chief Internal
revenue agent, led the party in the raid.
He was accompanied by L B. Perkins,
who represents the internal revenue division
which comprises Maryland, Virginia,
West Virginia, Delaware and the
District of Columbia; Inspectors T. E.
Stone, M. M. Jodd and E. A. Feimster,
and Deputy Collect org W. R. Pohler,
Roger Motter and J. B. Belt.
Capt. Michael Byrnes of the sixth
precinct. Detectives Pratt, Howlett and
Burlingame, Prlncinct Detective Armstrong
and Policemen Will and Harbaugh
were the representatives of the
police department in the raid. They
had been detailed for the duty by Inspector
Robert Boardman, acting superintendent
of police.
It was after the revenue officers
learned of the frequent visits paid to
Lee Ying by Baltimore Chinamen that
they became suspicious of the business
in which he was engaged and
started an investigation.
The officers spent several weeks making
the investigation. Inspector Boardman
was conferred with and he promised to
lend what assistance his men could give.
Eight warrants were issued by United
States Commissioner Taylor and 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon was the time agreed
upon to make the raid. The fifteen representatives
of the two branches of the
law. federal and municipal, took their
postt ons in the vicinity of the six buildings
in which searches were to be madeall
in Pennsylvania avenue between 3<i
and streets, the houses being numbered
315, 323, 325. 340. 346 and 352.
Chinamen Plead Ignorance.
Exactly on the stroke of four those
who had taken their positions in front
oi xne ouuaings movea to the interior
and it was not long before the Chinamen
realized what was going on, although
many of them pretended they
were ignorant of the proceedings. Some
of them said they were unable to tell
what opium is.
In two Instances only did the China
men offer any resistance. One of them
positively refused to permit the search
to be made voluntarily, but a gentle
tap on his face brought him to a
realization that he was unable to prevent
the search from being made.
Another Chinaman showed an ugly
disposition and he, too. was given the
same dose of punishment.
Following the striking of one of the
belligerent Chinamen, the officers afterward
explained, the celestial ran to
the front of the building and held a
hasty conference with a number of
his countrymen. They stared at the
officers and said things which the latter
could not understand, but no advances
were made and no further
trouble occurred.
In some of the rooms occupied by th?
Chinamen the officers found small opium
outfits. Such outfits they expect to line
Jn all such places, and they were nol
surprised. They did not trouble them
Surprise was expressed by the officer?
at finding the Chinamen so plentifull)
supplied with cash.
In every room the officers found al
least one small trunk, and in every on<
that was opened money was found. Somt
of the trunks, they were told, belong tt
Chinamen who reside away from Wash
Ington.
They contained money, however, ant
their owners feel that it is just as securt
as If they had it with them. Such money
the officers said, is kept for the convenl
ence of the visitors when they come t?
engage In fan-tan or other gambllni
games.
Plenty of Cash on Hand.
The officers found many rolls of hill;
of large denominations in the safes ii
the establishments where searches wer
made. T .ee ViFir heinir imrtirnlarlv w?l
supplied with the "long green." Ther
was no occasion to take charge of an:
ash to be held as evidence, however, an<
none of it waa disturbed.
While the officers wer.s searching th
several places mentioned In the warrants
it is stated, an American resident o
Chinatown busied himse'f running fron
place to place to put the Chinamen 01
their guard. He disappeared, howevet
before the police could get hold of him.
At some of the places the officer
searched from cellar to garret. The Chi
nese merchants whose places were visit?
were courteous and obliging, but such wa
not the case with all of the occupants o
rooms on the upper floors.
Some of the latter openly defied search

between the federal government ana

by the originators of the plan for a
- federal District, In which should be

i claimed, can be found than that conr
tained in a report made to the Senate
, in 1835 by Senator Southard of New
9 Jersey, chairman of the committee on
" the District of Columbia in that day.
Memorials submitted to Congress by
citizens of Washington and Georgeton
asking aid from the government
in the embarrassements which had been
brought upon them in their attempts
to carry out the development of the
National Capital along the lines laid

In the support of the District, said in
part as follows:
"The expenditures upon the streets "
( under these cirucumstances has un- ten
' questionably, been one of the principal me
; oauses of embarrassment of the city.
< The committee believes it Is one which ; 1

Difficult Problem Presented. jec
"It is well known that the selection of ita
the seat of government was one of the an<
most agitating and difficult problems
which divided the councils of the coun- jj??
j try under the confederation, as well as
after the present Constitution went into
effect. Numerous places wefe proposed,
. considered and voted for; but the pre- hi
vailing sense of Congress was that the Lf
s place which should be selected should
> not be a populous city, but some spot
the arrangements for the govern
ment and the regulation of the territory
might be entirely under its control.
" The present seat of government was
jeventually selected, and the location
made upon several plantations, upon
which there was not one building or Uf
other improvement for public accommo- '
, dation and use. This fact illustrates the
purpose of the government at that day.
* The . selection was produced by several.
considerations; tlrst, its geographical pot
sition between the north and south; second,
the access from it to the ocean;
1 third, its distance In the interior and
5 toward the west.
r 5*
Congress Given Exclusive Control. Ste
"The object of having a permanent
seat of government is indicated in the
i Constitution itself, which provides that or
q|j #
i Congress shall exercise exclusive legis- ?
c latlon in all cases whatsoever over such or
^ district as may by cession of particular
f states and the acceptance of Congress
become the seat of government of the e
United States. To accomplish this ob- Wa
ject the District was ceded by the states j
of Maryland and Virginia, possess-on
taken by Congress and the land to oe
I occupied by the government purchased
by written contracts with the owners of
the soil. wa
"The plan of the city was formed by the h'8
. public authorities; the dimensions of the lai
streets determined by them, without in- ?a
terference on the part of the inhabitants,
or regard to their particular interest or ln
convenience. It is a plan calculated for wa
the magnificent capital of a great na- 391
tion; but oppressive from its very di- an
menslon and arrangements to the lnhab0
itants, if the execution of any consider- "r!
1 able is to be thrown upon them. tir
' "No people who anticipated the exe- set
11 eution and subsequent support of it out 1
- of their own funds would ever have
s dreamed of forming such a plan. It nu
. would have been the most consummate en
folly. At that period neither the govern- ot
ment nor the proprietors contemplated mc
that the whole or even a large propor- tir
tion of the burden should be thrown upon we
1 the Inhabitants of the city. sei
Assertion Amply Sustained. Se
"This assertion is amply sustained by
two considerations: th,
"In the first place the contract between
^ the government and the owners of the ?
_ land gave to the former a large extent
of the public lots, sufficient for all the
edifices and Improvements which It con- PI
' venlence should require; and In addition
thereto one-half of all the building lots
. within the limits of the city; thus mak- c
. lng the nation Itself an equal owner of no
all the private property and equally in- dh
< terested for the benefit of this private pa
_ property In all the Improvements which Jph
i might be made.
"In the next place, the government as- re<
sumed, and from that day to the present, ap
has claimed and exercised entire and ab- ea
solute control over all the streets of the rei
city, so that the inhabitants or the cor- wi
porate authorities have no power either
to enlarge or diminish them, nor to open
? or close them; but the authority in these
respects has been exercised at all times Kim
by Congress. It has even closed one of ths ^
streets and sold the ground which formed <
* a part of it. cr
"The committee regardf the District as re
e the child of the Union, as the creation of th
? the Union for Its own purposes. The ,
design of the Constitution and its found- fo:
1 era was to create a residence for the D*
government where they should have ab- co
r solute and unlimited control, which co
should be regulated and governed by ju
them without the interference of partial Bi
interests in the states, which should be su
built up and sustained by their authority Oj

Base of Conclusion.
If this had not been the design, a
nporary or permanent seat of governnt
would have been selected tn some
pulous city, or some territory subject

: the design, it is not easy to compreid
either the principle which would

present condition of the wreck; the plans
of the army engineers for further work
upon it. and the conclusions to be drawn
fgom the facts so far developed as to the
original cause of the ship's destruction.
The army engineers have very decided
views on the latter point. They are absolutely
satisfied that the Maine was
torn to pieces by the explosion of her
magazines. They also are poe tive that
the destruction wrought by the magazines
when they exploled was so great
as to completely obliterate all traces of
any outside explosion if there had been
one, so that that point must forever remain
in doubt.
Constructor Capps has attacked the
problem from a naval point of view, but
it cannot yet be learned whether he accepts

" w
MILWAUKEE, Wis., October ".?It was
mch as "touches," "a hammer" and
picnics" that were brought out as part g
if the campaign expenses of United
States Senator Isaac Stephenson in the
qvestigation before the senatorial comnittee
today of chages that he had
lecured his election through bribery
nd corruption. The details were given
>y Rodney Sackett, one of the Stephenon
campaign managers, in response to
n announcement by Senator W. B. Hey- j
>urn, the chairman, that the total exenditure
of $107,793 would have to be
xplained to overcome the presumption
hat it had not been wrongfully used.
Some of the general items given to
lackett to explain were:
General expenses for organizing state,
146,052.
Milwaukee county, $11,600.
Office expenses, $4,074.
Telephones, $256.
Postage, $11,000.
Sundry bills, $8,662. *
Nomination papers, $40.
One man to attend colored picnic, $50.
Campaign bulletins, $702.
Trip through ghetto, three men, $35.
One man to another picnic, $10.
Touched by two old soldiers. $2. j,
Numerous and various touches, $17.

Of the total expenditure Sackett handled ^
198,083. Asked to explain what was meant
>y me toucnes ana tnp nirougn me fhetto
the witness said he did not know, t;
is that probably was ordered paid 6
hrough his office on authority of other n
;ampaign managers.
"As the responsile custodian of Senaor
Stephenson's fund, and knowing tl
:hat you were required by the law of u
Wisconsin to render an itemized account
>f every item over |5, it would seem that
pou had not paid much attention to the h
subject," said Senator Heyburn. e
The newspaper advertising in the cam- _
paign, Sackett said, amounted to $12,006.
in one instance Senator Stephenson paid 0
*1,500 for a list of farmers' names, pay- 1
Ing for them at the rate of 1 cent a 1
name, and an extra one-half cent for g
each subsequent use of the same names. ^
The money for picnics, he said, was
:o cover the expenses of men sent to *
irouse interest In Senator Stephenson's
behalf. i

idjouned until Monday on account of the

So far the witnesses at the investlga- a

to Senator Stephenson. Next week

State Senator John J. Blaine,

ro EOOSEVELT COLLECTION
pecimens Brought From Africa by
Former President Not to Be
Exhibited as a
Whole.
The National Museum will he
open to the publle froa 1 iSO
o'clock until 4tS0 thla afternoon.
Remember, It la the north 4nor
of the new Muaeum building
which will be open thla afternoon.
That la practically the
hnek tloor of the new Muaeum
building* aa the daest-looklng
entrance la on the south aide.
The open door Is at the foot of

I?
Today's opening will be the first step
n an experiment to see how the pubic
regards the great collection which
he explorers and scientists of the
mithsonian Institution have gathered
i half a century of research. If this
fternoon should be rainy, then tho
rial will not be a fair one. If it
hould be clear. It is probable that
lany persons who have never been in ide
of the building before will seek
he north door to this house of treast
res.
For years the officials of the museum
ave known it would be a splendid
ducational advantage to the people
f Washington if the museum could be
pened Sundays, but appropriations
lave - not allowed the extra boars of
&bor or the extra light and heat.
liuiaVliir n# th? ? >??? ?? ? ?
rUch&rd Rath bun, assistant secretary
>f the Smithsonian Institution, said:
"This la an experiment, of course,
md we are watching It carefully. We
>elieve it will be a fine thine, and if
t turns out well the next step will
>e to open the museum at night. That,
lowever, Is something for the future,
ind not the very near future either."
No Roosevelt Collection.
It is probable that many Sunday visitors
ill ask for the Roosevelt collection of
luffed skins of the animals killed by the
>rmer President in Africa. The officials
f the museum desire to assure the publte
lere is no Roosevelt collection, and never
ill be one. and that there never has bees
ny intention of having one. Repeating
lis statement that has been previously
lade, may save the guards, watchmen,
irators and other attendants from au
ttack of nervous prostration, for they
eclare that none of them ever walk the
;ngth of the building without being he.u
n a t laaat nnw hv iflm* vl?t?nr vhn
ants to know where the Roosevelt colaction
can be found. ?
Progress is being made In mounting a
umber of the Roosevelt specimens, and
s they are ready for exhibition they will
e displayed. It will taae several years
et to mount even the specimens that will
e put on exhibition. As they are ready
ley will be displayed in their appropriate
unities, but there will be no grouping in
special Roosevelt display.
The nearest approach to a Roosevelt
ollectlon that has been made is a case
bout the sue of a roll-top desk In one
orner of the old National Museum
uilding. This contains some dosen
kins all mounted, from the hide of a
ion to a moleskin ready for mountig.
The case is labeled in large letsrs,
"Some Specimens from the Smithonian
African Expedition under the
irection of Col. Theodore Roosevelt."
hese skins merely illustrate the way
liat some of the specimens are preared
in the held for transmission to
he museum. As has been said, there
re about a dozen of chein. The total
f the collection made by this expediion
was about 4,200 specimens with
he addition of about 2,000 photoraphs.
Rare and Valuable Specimens.
There are a great many rare and valabie
specimens from this expedition,
lany of which are being mounted as
>eedily as funds and care will permit,
he work on the big mammals is the
ling of most interest to the public, and
lis is being done largely under the dl-?
action of Ceorge B. Turner, the mamlai
taxidermist. The group nearsst

insists of a group of five lions killed
r the Roosevelt expedition. They are
round a characteristic water hole, with
le pad marks In the mud at the edge
C the pool, and the scanty vegetation
f the region In the background. The
tale Hon Is on a knoll a little higher
tan the others and standing guard in
ute of danger. There Is a lioness
rouched drinking at the edge of the
ool like a great cat lapping from a
lueer, and another lioness is stretched
a the ground, with a couple of cubs
taking passes at each other over her
ack.
This group has been two years In prepaition
and the attitudes were the subject
