SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Washington is
just now giving a good deal of attention
to the President and Miss Beckwith. Last
Summer it was reported that he was en-
gagged to Mrs. Wadsworth. He certainly
paid her s. great deal of attention, and rob-
bed the dollhouse of the Executive Man
sion OF its choicest buds and blossoms, in
order to furnish bouquets to that charm
ing widow. Mrs. Wadsworth is now in
Europe, and rumors are busy with the
name of Miss Beckwith. She is now at
the Arlington Hotel with her mother. She
is a New York lady, about 26 years old.
She is not only beautiful, but has many
graces of figure and mind. The President
has had several very nice little dinners at
the White House in her honor, and her
table at the Arlington is all the while
decorated with the choices flowers of the
White House Conservatory. To-day the
President organized a little party for her
benefit to Mount Vernon. The Govern
ment boat, Dispatch, was used to convey
the party to the tomb of the Father of
His Country. An eminent society lady a
day or two ago remarked that the PresI-
lent was a great tiirt, but probably only
means that he has the good taste to like
the society of pretty and accomplished
women.
Aid for Common schools.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Fifty-seven petit
tons, asking the passage Of a bill to ex-
tend national aid to the common schools,
were presented in the Senate yesterday by
Blair and Malone. The uniformity in the
signatures to a great majority of these me-
morals created some curiosity as to their
commences as representative petitions.
In many instances, all the signatures, on a
single petition, to the number of 50 or
100, were found to nave been written by
the same persons, with neither cross
marks nor memoranda to explain this re-
markable fact. In one instance, in a petit
ton purporting to come from Aiken, S.
| c., the names of several ministers of the
| gospel were signed to the petition by the
same person, and among the Virginia petit
tons, presented by Malone, the same
handwriting i'll blue graphite was found
as in the memorials, and purporting to
come from Lyuchburg and Salem, and the
| counties of Nausemond, Pennsylvania and
Gloucester. The petitions were not dated,
and with but one exception were from the
South.
Statistics of Suicides in New York.
New YORK, Feb. 2.-Dr. Nagle, Regis
ter of Vital Statistics, publishes the re-
sults Of II years record and observation
of suicides in New York. The main
causes are traced to abnormal, physical or
mental conditions, disappointment, in
temperance, business reverses and family
differences. There is no apparent reason
way Germans, who, as d class, are
Weather and more prosperous than the
Irish, should so largely exceed the latter
in suicides, unless it is their national tenn
permanent. The Irish show 4 less num-
Der of suicides, in proportion to their pop
ulatiou, than any other foreign-born in
habitants. The humber Of males who
committed suicide during the past II
years was 1913, while the number of
females was 1928. In 1854 the proportion
Of suicides here was one to every 23, 1927
inhabitants, and in 1874 it was one 10
every 5,5l5.
Obtaining Money Falsely.
New YORK, Feb. 2.-Dr. William Rey-
nolds, dentist st II West Fifty-ffth street,
was arrested late on Wednesday night at
his home, on the afidavits of Ogden H.
Vail and others. He is charged with OBJ
tanning over s20,000 from a widow,
through Vail as agent, by means Of false
representations. Vail stated to s reporter
that Reynolds induced him, as agent, to
invest the lady's money in the stock Of the
Cisco Consolidated Mining Company of
California. Of which, until recently, he
was a Director at different times in the
last three years, by falsely representing
its value to support his statement. Vail
laid before Judge Donahue, by whom the
order OF arrest was issued, affidavits by
Drake, Delaney and others, who wished their
names suppressed for the present, denying
the truth Of some OF Reynolds statements.
Vail took 5000 shares at S25 each, giving
part cash and his notes for the remainder.
The arrest is on criminal proceedings, to
compel the restoration Of the money.
