thief. has been recaptured in Chicago. and
he will soon be brought east to answer
a charge of robbery in Maryland. He is

country, and has done time In prison for
offenses Besides being known as Dayton
Sammy" he goes under the names of Sam
Scratchter, James Martin and ]. Smith.
During the last Inauguration he came to
this city to play his part In the crowd.
On the way here, it Is alleged. he robbed
a passenger on a Baltimore and Ohio train
of $50 AS soon as he reached the station
in this city he was arrested and locked up
at the first precinct station, where there
were so many DRINKS in the cells.
In the morning when the prisoners were
called out the noted crook was smart
enough to answer the name of drunk
who was still sleeping off the effects Of the
night before. In the Office of the station no
one was present who knew him, and out he
walked. free man. Later in the day 1t was
discovered that the drunk left in the cell was
overstaying his time. because he knocked
at the door to get out.
Where Is Dayton Sammy? was the
question asked, but there was no one who
could give an answer
A description Of the fugitive was sent out,
and yesterday he was arrested In Chicago.
A telegram was received here by the police
notifying them of the arrest and asking for
details of the charge against the prisoner.
The dispatch was turned over to the Mary
land authorities, who will probably send
for the prisoner.

simply standing all day long and saying

way for those who come down town on the
Third avenue elevated railroad en- route for
Brooklyn. He is stationed at the city hall
terminus Of the road. Thousands who hear
him shouting his Bridge to the right
regard him contemptuously and perhaps
impatiently because they consider him as
embodying an imputation upon their knowl-
edge of the ways of getting about the
most valuable service-indeed, it may be
doubted that there is in New York more
post, which persists in telling all corners
that the longest way round is the nearest
way to the bridge.

Now that the Joint congressional COM

laying of the corner stone of the Capitol

pairing for that event will progress even
more enthusiastically than before. Matters
are in a very satisfactory shape and the
success of the occasion Is already assured.
Yesterday Chairman John Joy Edison Of
the finance committee announced subscrip-
tons to the amount of 81 900. and in view Of
the immediate need of money by the var
ious committees issued the following cir
cular:
The arrangements for the celebration to
take place at the Capitol September Is are
progressing satisfactorily. and will prove
we feel sure, a credit to the people of the
District of Columbia, and WILL at the same
time, be appreciated by Congress. The
executive committee. however, are delayed
in entering into contracts required owing to
the lack of prompt and sufficient subscrip-
tons.
We are therefore obliged to appeal to you
in a public-spirited way to make your SUBJ
scription at once and thus aid the COM
mittee in successfully carrying out the
celebration in an appropriate manner. The
occasion Is worthy of the best efforts Of
the citizens of the District of Columbia.

stake. Don't let 1t suffer through your in
difference. We need your immediate as
sistance.

Seats at the Marine Barracks.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
May We be permitted to enter our protest
against rule which has lately been adopt
ed in regard to the seating Of visitors at the
mai the barracks, where. as is well known.
the Marine Band plays every Thursday
evening.
The result of this rule Is that no gen tie
man Is permitted to take a seat no matter
how early he may get there unless ne be ac-
companied by lady. He has to stand dur
ing the entire program. and too, at Il great
distance from the band. which distance
coupled with the noise caused by the many
baby carriages wheeled over the gravel walk
simply renders II impossible to hear the
piano parts of the different compositions.
Even were they to let one stand behind
those already seated 1t would be much bet
ter. as he would then face the band and be
in the way of no one. Simply because u
gentleman happens to be unaccompanied 10y
a lady he is as good as forbidden the
grounds. certainly as far as enjoying The
music Is concerned. j. NJ. VIC. L. F., E. "

He Met the Mother,

Between and o'clock yesterday after
noon a lively scene was enacted on l4th
street near F street northwest. A tall we'll
dressed man of about thirty-five years had
been standing on the corner, when he was
approached by a woman OF perhaps ten
years his senior and an animated CONVEX
sation took place, the woman finally EN-
phasizing her words by drawing a cowhids
and striking him across the face. He at
tempted to defend himself with an umbrella
but her blows were so fast and furious that
he could not stand his ground. Although a
large crowd was attracted. both parties dis
appeared. 1t is stated that the man. who is
not known in the neighborhood, had been
lettering at the corner for some days, ami
that the cause of the episode was the send
ing of a note to a girl, asking her to meet
him there, and he met the mother.
