IRREGULARITIES CHARGED.
Board of Children's Guardians to Be
Investigated by Senators.
MR.. McMILLAN'S DECLARATION
Chairman Harris Appoints the Subcommittee
That Is to Mako the Inquiry, Which,
However, Will Not Bs Begun Until After
the Reassembling Of Congress

A very important meeting Of the Senate
District Committee was held yesterday, when
eighteen bills which affect the welfare of the
District were disposed Of. Tho Senators
manifested unusual interest in a recommen-
dation of Senator Mcmillan that the alleged
irregularities OF the Board Of Children's
Guardians be examined. The Senator said
board was severely arraigned. and, although
the Senator did not make any specific charges
himself, he alluded to the general impression
that prevails that great Irregularities existed
and that the board was wholly incompetent.
He affirmed that in view of these serious
misgivings it was necessary thar the Senate
committee take some action. He thought
that an investigating committee should be
appointed and the charges made thoroughly
sifted. He said tnat directly after Senator
Blackburn's speech the board met and unani-
nously agreed to request an investigation by
Congress.
As the representative OF the board, he said
he presented this request to the committee as
the proper body, and asked for an immediate
and searching examination into the alleged
charges.
Senator Harris was astonished at the re-
quest Of Mr.. Mcmillan, but said that in view
OF the boards demands for an Investigation,
he could do nothing else but accede to it. He
named as a subcommittee Of investigation
Senators Mcmillan, Gallinger and Martin,
who will begin their work sometime during
the next Congress.
Senator Mcmillan remarked that since the
boards COMPETENCY has been imputed, either
rightfully or wrongfulIy, there should be q
thorough examination into the method OF
conducting its business.

Whereabouts of Charles Wilfred Mowbray
inquired After by immigration Officials.
The immigration officials at Ellis Island
N. Y. are searching after Charles wilfred

One end of the line was secured to an i'm
movable lava rock and the other about the
body Of the venturer.
Then lowering the rope, double, about half
way, so that it would not have to slide over
the verge as he descended, young Randolph
boldly swung himself over the abyss amid the
catching respirations and gulping exclama-
tions Of the ladies and went quickly down,

As If he saw something that those above
