JERRY SIMPSONS RETURN.
His Appearance in the House Greeted
With Applause.

Mr. Hatch had barely started on his
speech In the House this afternoon when he
was interrupted by q storm of applause
that swept over the chamber. The enthusi-
asm however. was not for Mr.. Hatch or for
his remarks. but arose from the fact that
coming down the aisle just at that especial
moment the members saw Representative
Jerry Simpson. pale. emaciated. but still
preserving the tall form and unmistakable
face OF the sockless statesman from Kan
sas.
All during the morning a handsome floral
piece had decorated the desk Of Representa-
tive Simpson. and II was expected that he
would reach the Capitol some time during
the day. This was Mr.. Simpsons first ap-
pesrai ce in the House during this session.
and the fact that he had SO far recovered
from his serious illness as to attend the
session was the cause Of congratulation
among his many friends
The Kansas Representative Is exceedingly
thin from his long confinement, and .
telegram which Mrs Simpson sent to this
city a few days ago. in which she stated
that her husband had gained nineteen
pounds in nineteen days, reveals the ap-
palling condition of spsreness which must
have existed previous to the nineteen days.
Mr.. Simpson spent a half hour at the
House shaking hands with and receiving
the congratulations of the members.

BRIGHTWOOD ROAD EXTENSION.
Commlssionef Powell Gives Reasons
for Opposing the Grant.

for Opposing the Grant.
House bin Se2s. to amend the charter CT
the Brightwood Railway Company Of the
District Of Columbia which was referred
to the Commissioners for report, has been
adversely recommended by the Engineer
Commissioned. The amendment Fought
authorizes the company to extend it's road
from the present terminus on It'll street
along Florida avenue to the intersection Of
New Jersey avenue. thence along New
Jersey avenue to B street northwest, rsing
as the motive power the Love electric con-
duit system.
In his report to the Commissioners upon
this bill. Engineer Commissioner Powell
says: Respectfully returned to secretary's
office with adverse report thereon, for the
reason that the Commissioners are OF the
opinion that the residents Of the suburbs
accommodated by this road, desire to reach
the commercial center Of the city rather
than the Capitol. The Brightwood avenue
road Is a natural prolongation of the 7th
and 9TH street lines. both of which come to
the center of the city. 1t Is believed that
Tor the present the public can be accom-
modated by transfer from car to car
through a union passenger station to be es-
tablished at or near the intersection Of
Florida avenue and It'll street as will SUBJ
sequently be proposed by the Commission
ers as a part of a system of union street
car passenger stations
When the Metropolitan railroad shall have
changed Its motive power 1t may be prac-
tlcable for the Brightwood avenue road to
run It's cars over the 9th street line to the
vicinity of the Center market In anv
event IT appears 10 the Commissioners that
New Jersey avenue. which, by the street
extension plans, is to be prolonged to in
tersect 18th street extended, and thereby
furnishing direct line from the Capitol to
Rock Creek Park. should be kept free from
railroad tracks. except over short sections,
which are already authorized.

THE MISSING MAN.
L Body Found at Williamsport Be-
lieved to BE That of Moskovits.

Body Found at willfamsport De.
lfeved to Be That of Moskovits.
Mrs. Rosa Moskovitz. whose husband Of
few weeks disappeared from her home, 1: ~
1th street. a. published in The Star at the
time, called at police headquarters this
morning to make further inquiries concern
Ing the missing man. Addie Moskovitx was
employed in Widow Finkelbaum's store
Although several persons were suitors for
the hand and heart Of the widow. Mosko-
Wits was the one who was successful, and
he soon disappeared. taking his wife's
money and jewelry with him. On Decora-
ton day Mrs. Moskovitz went to Mount
Vernon and viewed the body Of q man
found in the river.
Max Siegel claimed to have seen the miss
ing man go on a steamer to start for Bre-
men, but Mrs. Moskovits still believed he
could tell more Of the particulars Of her
husbands disappearance. and several times
she interviewed him. Finally about three
weeks ago. the two met in q room on .
street where religious services were being
held and the woman relieved Siegel OF some
Of his whiskers. This cost her IS in court,
and nothing more was heard Of the woman
until she called at headquarters this morn
Ing. She had clipping from a relig-
ious paper called the Israelite, published in
Cincinnati. Ohio. The article was in the
Williamsport, Pa. correspondence OF the
paper. and reads as follows:
IAN unknown Jewish man. aged about
thirty-two years, was found on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad about a half mile west OF
Loyalsock Monday morning with his
right leg cut of ond his skull crushed in
two places. The man was Of dark complex
ion, gray eyes. black hair. light mustache
and about six feet tall. He was dressed in
q dark blue cutaway coat. light blue strip
ed pants, figured vest and wore a brown
SLOUGH hat. In the pockets were found q
number Of cards and letters. the latter writ
ten in Hebrew; also a book and several let
tiers in the same language. On a piece of
paper was written Mr.. NJ. Siegal. 1928 It'll
street. Washington. D. c. On an envelope
was the name Of Mr.. A. Wolf. S02 18th
street. same city. The congregation took
charge Of the body, and had II inferred in
their cemetery"
The Wife's Belief.
Mrs. Muskovitz IL fully convinced that the
man found dead on the railroad was her
husband. and she may. perhaps. go to WILL
Transport next Sunday. A. Wolf, mentioned
In the newspaper account Of the finding Of
the mans body, is a tailor. and Is now in
business on H street. His wife was seen
by a Star reporter this afternoon and said
she knew the dead man, although she could
not rem ember his name. He came here
from Philadelphia, she said and being with
out funds. she fed him several days, and
then he was given a ticket to Cincinnati IT,
where he said his relatives lived. Mrs

THE RECUsANT WITNESSES
A Test to He Made of the Chairman
Case.

CaSe.
The conclusion reached by the grand
jury in the cases Of the recusant witnesses
before the Senate sugar trust investiga ting
committee will not be officially announced
before next week. If then. The jury held
short session today. The only witness was
Senator Gray chairman of the investigat-
ing committee who testified to the action
of Broker Chapman of New York when he
was called before the committee The
Senator dwelt on the refusals to reply to
the senatorial queries and submitted to an
examination on this point by members of
the jury. He pointed out the illegally of
the actions of the witnesses and cited the
law bearing on the case
He also discussed the alleged injurious
effect of sustaining the contumacious con-
duct of Messrs. Edwards and Shriver AID
Chapman. His testimony was very brief, as
the session Of the jury continued less than
an hour. At noon the jury adjourned until
Monday.
Chapman Test Case.
Senator Gray also had a consultation with
the district attorney today with reference to
the indictment of Broker E. r. Chapman
The district attorney is proceeding with
much caution with the work. and he has
found that the resolution under which the
investigating committee is proceeding is very
unsatisfactory for purposes of prosecution
OF the witnesses, as It is neither very clear
nor very specific
The Chapman case is considered the
strongest of those presented to the grand
jury. and the district attorney on this ac-
count has decided to put IT ahead and vir-
tually TO make II a test case
The Edwards and Shriver cases therefore
Will be allowed to remain Enacted upon
until 1t can be shown what can be done in
the Chapman case. This case will also
take precedence over the Havemeyer
f.sfN lrfr lob ~
Vice President probably will certify to the
district attorney today or tomorrow.
