WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1.-THE pay

The second days proceedings of the
committee investigating the Census Bureau
brought to the front an old complaint,
formerly common in the various depart
ments of the Government, and present
now where the civii-seryice law does not
prevent. James A. Collins, of the division
az farms, loans, and mortgages of the
Census Office. was asked il he knew of any
mismanagement or wastes or funds IN the
division. The witness said that it was a
broad question. He had no personal
knowledge Of Encouragement or waste,
but had his own opinion as to how tho
division could have been conducted to
better advantage. The whole fault, IN his
opinion. lay in the system. There was q
great pressure brought to bear by MEM

ent and other officers to have per-

A Rival BRAINEO.
Murder of q Polish Ballet Girl By q
Jealous Woman.

[By American cable 20 the Dispatch.l
WARSAW, May 14.--Josephine Gerlach had
the reputation of being the most beautiful
ballet girl in Warsaw. She was the craze
among the Polish nobility, both young and
middie-aged.
A few DAYS ago the town was shocked
by the announcement that Josephine Ger
ZACH had been found murdered. Her at
tire showed the clutch of bloody hands.
The fnger-marks left by the murderer
were not large. but rather slight, and indi-
Gated to the police that woman had done
the deed.
The police ascertained that lady. finely
dressed and apparently somewhat dis
cursed, had called upon Josephine. Search
ing inquiry brought about the fact that a
lady of high position named Boguslawa
Brezicka bad been heard to utter threats
against the ballet girl. This lady belongs
10 one of the upper noble families, and
her ancestors are distinguished IN the an
mails of Poland.
Boguslawa had occasion to be jealous of
Josephine, and this fact was well known.
the police did not hesitate TO arrest her.
They were astonished to find upon her the
conclusive evidence of her guilt.
The lady confessed both the crime and
the motive. Josephine Gerlach. she said.
had ruined her happiness and she resolved
upon revenge. She went TO the glrps
room as II upon u friendly visit, and.
watching her opportunity, struck her
with the hammer. The girl attempted re-
sistance. but Boguslawa struck her again,
this time breaking her skull and braining
her. She then stabbed her repeatedly
with the dagger. IL Is believed that she

phia's Burned Theatre.
(By telegraph to the Dspatch.l

PHILADELPHIA. MAY 14.-The coroner's
jury in the Central Theatre fire rendered
their verdict this morning. They find
that the origin of the fire was due TO the
ignition of border by gas-jet in the
first border-light. They also find that
the lessees and his EMPLOYEES were grossly
negligent in not providing sufficient
means of exit. They also find that the
fire marshal, building inspector, and
ESCAPES. who inspected and reported on the
buildings in the district where this theatre
was located, were negligent and derelict
in not discovering and reporting to the
proper authorities that red lights were not
placed at entrances to fire escapes.
The jury recommend that the stage and
auditorium of places of amusement should
be separated by brick fire-wall extend
ing from foundation TO roof of stage. which
should be at least fifteen feet above the
root or the auditorium. Acurtain of woven
wire covered with asbestos or some other
non-combustiple material should also be
used.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May IA fire that
ragged for an hour tins evening within a
flye-story brick factory in the rear of 242-

floor, is occupied by Ledig IL Way, manu-
facturers of fancv brass and nickel-plate
work. On one of the floors was the estab-
llshment of Watson d McDaniels, steam

among the iron-filings from q turning
lathe on the second floor, and before II
could be extinguished had spread to al!
the other floors. The costly dynamos,

Ledig IL Way sustained damage amounting
to 1900, on which there Is $4,000 insu-
rance. The building was owned by A.
