The members of the foreign mission

held a meeting Wednesday at Blue Rloge
COLUMBUS PROBE FOR
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Local Delegate May Follow
Ransdell Suggestion to In
terest Grand Council.
v * t
v -
That the question of making a thorough
investigation Into conflicting claims about
the present resting place of the remains
of Christopher Columbus probably will
b? taken up at the national convention of
the supreme council of the Knights of
Columbus In Boston nex\ month was in
dicated today by leading members of the
organisation in the District. *
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, who be
lieves that the remains of Columbus are
now in the cathedral at Santo Domingo,
made the suggestion that the Knights of
Columbus take the question up, and E.
P. Harrington, who is to attend the meet
ing next month, said today that he prob
ably would bring the matter before the
grand council.
"Such strong proofs have been shown
that Columbus Is buried at Santo Do
mingo," said Senator Ransdell, "that I
think the Knights of Columbus would be
Justified in sending investigators to Santo
Domingo, to Havana, where the bones I
of Columbus were supposed to rest after |
they were taken, according to Spanish i
belief, from Santo Domingo during the
insurrection of 1800, and to Seville, Spain,
to which city, during the Spanish-Amer
ican war, the Castillan government had
removed the small leaden casket In which
the bones were thought to be.
Surprised by Statement.
"I visited the Dominican capital In 190 *
with a delegation of congressmen and
army officers, in the interest of the rivers
and harbors congress. During our tour
of the capital we were very much sur
prised to hear a statement, as we were
looking at a magnificent monument in
the cathedral, that the bones of Colum
bus lay In a bronxe sarcophagus Inside
the monument.
"The proofs are these: First, the faith
of the Dominican people, who, in spile
of their poverty, built a seventy-five
thousand-dollar monument to mark tbe
burial place of Columbus, who, with tils
son, Diego, was one of the founders of
the cathedral.
"It is not disputed that Columbus, in
accordance with a request made before
his death, was buried in Santo Domingo
In 1540, during which year his body was
removed from Spain, where he died. Dur
ing the Insurrection of 1803 the Spanish
government sent a war vessel to demand
the bones of Columbus, which were burled
at the right of the cathedral altar. So
far as was known, no one else was buried
there. The Spaniards were told to take
the bones, and. they dug up the floor on
the right side of the altar until they
found a small leaden casket, marked
"Colon," of the period of 1300, the date
of Columbus' death. They took the cas
ket to Havana.
Found Proof in Broken Bone.
"Not daring to believe that the bones
were those of Columbus, the Domini
cans determined to seek proof from the
uones themselves. It vas known that
Columbus had been wounded In the
thigh with a musket ball, which broke
the thigh bone. The Dominicans be
lieved that if the bones were those of
Columbus the thigh bone would show
a scar. They opened the casket and
found that the thigh bono had been
broken.
"To sum up, the casket was found In
oxactly the right place, It was of the
period of 1506, the Inscrlotlon said
ihat the bones were those of Columbus
and the thigh bone was broken in Just
the place that Columbus had been
wounded. Then, too, the fact that the
Dominicans, notably a poverty-stricken
people, had such faith as to build a
seventy-five-thousand-dollar monument
?one of the finest I have ever seen?
.eads me to believe that the story is
true.
"The bones are, in my opinion, those
of Columbus. This Is the theory by
which the mistake Is explained?that
the body of the brother of Columbus
also was buried at the right of the
.ltar and forgotten, and that the Span-,
ards happened to find it and not the
casket containing the body of the dis
coverer of America."
"WHISKYTISM" HIS ATT.MT.KrT
And West Goes to Occoquan as Re
sult of Affliction.
"Whiskytism" and not rheumatism
was responsible for the helpless con
dition of Frank A. West, colored, ac
cording to Judge Pugh in the Police
Court today, when the former was ar
raigned on a charge of drunkenness.
Policeman Brooks told the court that
West was helplessly drunk and had to
be lifted into the poliae patrol. West
in his defense said he was suffering
from rheumatism, although he admit
.ed he had a bottle of whisky in his
pocket.
"I think it was whiskytism and not
rheumatism," said the court, and he
imposed a fine of flO, in default of
which West went to Occoquan.
JUDGE LATIMER OH BENCH.
Hears His First Case in the Juvenile
Court This Afternoon.
Judge J. Wilmer Latimer, who recently
took the oath of office as Judge of the
Juvenile Court, took the bench this after
noon for the first time. S. K. Edmonston,
clerk of the court, read Mr. Latimer's
commission and the oath of office. Mar
shal W. J. Kirkland opened the session.
William Chew, a colored man, was the
first person brought before Judge Lati
mer for trial. Chew was charged with
the hon-support of his wife Sarah. Judge
Latimer ordered the man to pay his wife
$2 a week.
IN COURT TWICE FOB DRUNK.
Michael McMahon Unable to Pay
Fine on Second Day.
Digging down into his jeans yesterday,
Michael McMahon brought forth a roll of
bills from which he peeled a $10 bill, an!
paid It as a fine for being drunk Wednes
day, after Judge Pugh had imposed the
sentence in the Police Court.
Michuel again went into ills pocket to
| day, after a similar sentence had been
imposed upon him by the court, for be
ing drunk last night The roll, however,
was not forthcoming, and Michael turn
ed on his heel and entered the dock from
where he is to be taken to Occoquan,
unless some friend pays his fine.

SENATOR WORKS SEES
RUIN FOR BEET MEN
Declares Industry Cannot Sur
vive When Sugar Goes on
the Free List.
Th?? destruction of the beet sugar indus
try of California and other western states
was predicted by Senator Works of Cali
fornia. should the sugar schedule of the
Underwood-Simmohs tariff bill be enact
ed into law. when the tarifT debate opened
in the Senate today. Senator Works com
pleted the speech which he began yestet
day. 1
"There are thousands of acre# of land In
California now cultivated In sugar beets,"
said Senator Works, "and hundreds of
families in my state live on the proceeds
from this labor of cultivation. The alkali
lands in California can be used for noth
ing else. The sugar beets, because they
absorb the alkalis in the land, are re
claiming the land.
Punishment at Polls.
"With a duty of 1 cent a pound on
suKar the Industry may be able to strug
gle along, though Its growth will be cur
tailed. It will not be the manufacturers,
but the farmers and laborers who Will
suffer from the reduced duty. But the
tariff bill proposes to place sugar on the
tree list at tne end of three years. This
means the ruin of the sugar Industry.
It cannot suivlve. #
"This is not an Intelligent revision of
the tariff. The tariff should be reduced,
but on manufactured articles, which nave
been overpi otected in the past, not on
the products of the farm.
"The people at the polls will
the party which puts such changes into .
effect." i
Offer Many Amendments.
When Senator Works completed his
address, there was no other senator
ready to continue with the general de
bate, and the bill was then taken up
for amendment. The republicans con
tinued to offer amendments to nearly
Bvery paragraph of the chemical
schedule, which was under ?onsld?ratt1?"
but did not succeed in changing the
b Senator Jones today introduced a"
amendment to put on the tr?elisgraiin
bags, on which the new bill proposes a
au.y of 10 per cent.
Hope for Passage by August 15.
The Senate yesterday continued to
make good progress with Its considera
tion of the Underwood-Simmons tariti
bill, and at the close of the debate de?0"
cratic leaders expressed the hope that
the bill would be passed by the 8enate
not later than August 15.
Those members of the ways and means
committee of the House now In Wash
ington, including Majority Leaiter L
derwood. have said that they JeJJe
the conference over the bill would o
brief, certainly not longer than ten days
or two weeks and perhaps less. They
stand ready, say the House leade^'?
accept the great majority of the reauc
lions made by the Senate.
Senator Townsend of Michigan gave no
tice in the Senate that he '^end.ed to
make an address on the tariff next Mon
day. It is the plan of the democratic
.eaders to keep the Senate tog
steadily on the tariff each day up to
6 o'clock in the evening, and if Sena
tora are not ready to continue with the
general debate the bill will be read
paragraph by paragraph for amendment.
In tnis way no time will be lost.
Taken Up by Paragraphs.
As soon as Senator Weeks completed
his address Chairman .Simmons asked
that the bill be taken up paragraph by
paragraph for amendment.
For two hours the Senate labored
along on the chemical schedule, mak
ing a total advance of a little more
than one page. Senator Smoot of_
moved to put on the free list saffron
and saffron cake, and demanded a roll
call. On a strictly party vote the mo
tion was defeated forty to twenty
seven. Senator Smoot gave not ce that
he would offer an amendment later to
increase the duty on formaldehyde
solution to 2 cents a pound
Amber, which carries a duty of *1 a
pound in the democratic bill, was the
subject of a long diBeugslon. Senator
Smoot and Senator Lodge of Massachu
setts asked that it be returned to the
free list, where it is at present-Sena
tor Bristow of Kansas suggested that
amber was found in New Jersey, and
for that reason a duty h?d.^?e? fJa^e
unon It. This was denied by both the
democratic senators from New Jersey.
Senator Lodge discussed the duty on
dextrine and starch, declaring
manufacturer was being discriminated
against because the duty on the fin
ished product was being reduced to a
greater extent than that on the raw
material.

PIGS POEM FREAK.
Four Born Joined Together by Liga
ment Connecting Vitals.
KITTANNINO. Pa., July 23 ?Four pigs
attached together as were the Siamese
twins were brought here today by Wil
liam Sllves of Manor township. The
freaks were born a few days ago and are
In perfect health. Each pig has four legs,
a tall and a nose, but, strangely enough,
possesses only one eye, and that Is set in
the middle of the forehead.
Mr. Silves was endeavoring to ascer
tain if there was not some way of pre
serving the lives of the pigs. The liga
ment which Joins the animals together
appears to be attached to the vital or

geon, whom Mr. Silves consulted, It would
bo dangerous to attempt to sever tne
cord.

Little Known of Progress in
Preventing Great Rail
road Strike.
NEW YORK, July 25.?Secrecy Invests
the conference of the federal mediators
and the railroad managers, conductors
and trainmen so closely that little is
known retarding what progress has been
made toward an agreement upon the mat.
ters to be arbitrated between tte rail
roads and the men. When the confer
ences were resumed today the bfellef was
that the railroads were demanding of the
men a compromise by which the roads
would be permitted to submit some at
least of their own grievances to arbitra
tion.
The railroad managers say that public
opinion Is beginning to force the men to
come part way to meet them Iq this at
tempt to adjust their difference*.
After a conference with representatives
of the trainmen and conductors the medi
ators this afternoon declared that the sit
uation had reached a critical stage Tbey
would add nothing to expialn this state
ment.
Later in the afternoon the board again
met the conference committee of the rail
road managers.

WALKS STRAIGHT UNE;
THEREFORE NOT DRUNK
If a man can walk a straight line in
a police station before the eyes of a
group of police officers and answer
j questions clearly, could ho ten minutes
before have been so intoxicated that
he staggered along the street? That
was the question presented to Judge
Pugh in the Police Court today In a
case Involving not only a defendant in
the court, but Police Capt. Schneider of
the seventh (Georgetown) precinct,
against whom a complaint was made
by Rev. H. JLi. Angus of Peck Memorial
Chapel. .
I-eRoy Fleet, colored, was arrested
Saturday night by Policeman Brae hears
of the seventh precinct. Fleet was
taken to the station house, where he
was released by Capt. Schneider, after
the latter, who doubted the intoxica
tion charge, had put him through *
test. Charges were made, however,
that Capi. Schneider had no authority
to release Fleet and ihe colored man
was accordingly taken to the Police
Court today to answer to the charge
Policeman Brasi.ears toid the court that
he and another policeman folio wed Fleet
along M street In Georgetown Saturday
night for about a square and a half and
tba? Fleet ?.as staggering "all over the
sidewalk." The policeman said, however,
he did not detect the odor of liquor on
Fleet's breath.
Severai women and two men also testi
fied that Fleet was staggering along the
street, and It was their opinion, they
said, that he was drunk.
Capt. Sehnelder was the first vitMN
for tl.e de enfib. He testified that when
Fleet was taken Into the station house
about 10:3.1 o'clock Saturday night, about
ten minutes after he had been arrested,
the prisoner answered the questions of
the station clerk in such a manner that
SI did mot believe the mas wag drunk
? said be told Fleet to walk a straight
line across the floor of the station 'tutm
to the other s'de of the room and ut*out
face and return.
"He walked i*?rfectly straight. ' testified
the captain. "I smelled h's breath and
could not detect the odor of liquor. I did
not think the man was drunk and tohl
the clerk to release him. He walked
straight out of the station house."
Gets Benefit of Doubt.
Assistant Corporation Conns*! William*
argued to the court that the shock of the
arrest had sobered Fleet, and contended
tfat he was drunk when he is alleged ti?
have b^ triggering about the street.
Attorne) omas Jones, who represented
Fleet, argued that If Fleet was stagger
ing about the street, it did not necessari
ly show that he was drunk.
In summing up the case Judge Pugli
pointed out that Meet bad had two
trials, one in the station house and the
other In court today. He said the prin
cipal question before him was to deter
mine whether Capt. Schneider was right
in releasing Fleet or the otHc?r in ar
resting him.
"Capt. Schneider had no right to re
lease the man after he had been ar
rested," said the court.
"He exceeded his authority in this, but
I have no doubt that Capi. Schneider was
of the opinion the ruan was not drunk, as
he testified he put him through the line
test and also did not smell the odor of
liquor on his breath."
Judge Pugh said he would have to give
Fleet ihe benefit of the doubt, and ac
cordingly dismissed th?j charge aga.nst
him.
Hev. H. Baremore Angus, pastor of
Peck Memorial Chapel, took an inter
est in the case und upon being told
by a policeman what Capt. Schneider
had done with Fleet prooesaed to
write a letter of complaint against Ca.pi.
tichneloer.
Yesterday Rev. Mr. Angus appeared
at police headquarters and swore to a
complaint against the police captain.
Charges of neglect of duty probably
wlll Hfc answered by the captain be
fore the police trial board Monday un
less the charge is withdrawn It was
expected that the rector will withdraw
the charge In view of Um result of
Fleet's trial todajr.
